Carl SchurZ in Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, October lS.-Carl Schurz ad-
dressed the people at the Louisville court
house to-nig gbt. The house was densely
packed, and hundreds went away unable
to get in. He was frequently and heartily
apPlauded.
On what was once the dividing line between
two sections and addressed himself to both
at the same time. He proceeded to declare
himself in favor of that political schoo!
which devoted itself to the success Of q
principle. in preference to that which only
sought the success of a party.
He thought the apprehensions felt by each
party in regard to the purpose Of the other
nos entirely unfounded. The disturbing in
tiuence of these fears was source Of trouble.
To counteract them, the Democrats should
to the constitution.
The people Of the South should repress
disorder, and take away the excuse Tor in
terventlon by the federal government. The
people OF the North should be governed by
constitutional guarantees. repuuiate plum
derers who oppress the South, and should
welcome the disposition on the part of the
South to renew the fraternal feeling and
respect the rights Of all. Only thus will
the results OF the war be peacefully and
successfully developed.
He review we'd the political disabilities still
existing in the laws; spoke of the ku-klux
bill as dangerous, and calculated to ALLEVIATE
public opinion; attributed both TO blind
party zeal; expressed confidence in the con-
federate who returns to his allegiance.
Addressing Republicans and Democrats,
he said the parties are working to defeat
the highest objects both parties profess to
have in view. Said the Democracy had lost
a chance in 1868, and read and warmly ad-

and concluded by an appeal to all to rise
above partisan spirit, and unite in one
common effort to secure reform and good
government.

Small Tracts.

We commend to the consideration of our
readers the suhjoined article from the More
house Conservative:
We have long been thoroughly convinced
that the quickest and most direct way to
build up our country is for large land hold
ers to be willing to divide their possessions
into small tracts and sell to good class Of
immigrants. If it was known that immi-
grants could buy lands in lots to suit. say
from forty to eighty aud one hundred and
twenty acres, we believe the parish would
soon be filed up, and that with the best
class of people.
A gentleman from Alabama visited More
house. not long since, looking for a home
He had been farming since the war on an
extensive scale. He wished to change his
plans. He no longer desired to risk capital
and labor ON large fields. He wished o
small place-Only eighty acres-and finally,
after considerable effort, by buying for his
brother in conjunction with himself, he
found place Of one hundred aud sixty
acres.
Now we have good many places for sale
several that are not advertised-but the
good thing. Men have lost too much since
the war in large farms to be willing to risk
the matter any longer. And besides, they
lack the means to buy even il they desired
it. A gentleman, long q resident Of More
house has in part been depending on our
agency for place for the past several
months. He wishes only about two hun
dred acres. Would even buy less. He
wants good land. And yet, not until this
last week did we know Of single land
owner desiring to sell who was willing to
divide their possessions. The owner Of one
Of the places advertised, Mr.. Handy. intu-
enced in part by short paragraph in the
Conservative. called on US last week and
the sale of his land in lots to
suit. He will sell one, two and three
hundred acres. Are there others who
are willing to do the same thing
We have no longer any use for immense
What We want now are small
farms and plenty Of them. There is TOO
much risk in these huge places. The labor
is too scarce and unreliable. Taxes are too
high, and the one man has too much 10 ad-
vance TO the many to make planting on
large scale in the least a pleasure.
Now we call on each large landho.Ger in
Morehouse to think Of this matter. The
immense tide of immigration that will pour
into this country on the completion of a
railroad must have homes. As a general
thing. small places will be in demand: and
we wish our large landholders 20 be ready
and willing to give them homes. If a man
should desire only twenty acres. sell him
the twenty acres if he wishes forty, let
him have it. Every good man we get into
the parish, though he may lie a poor man.
adds just that much to the value Of our
and our homes.

Irreparable Losses.


The losses by the destruction of buildings,
goods, and commercial paper and property,
by the great fire, are not the only great
losses. Treasures of literature, science and
art were consumed which can never be re-
stored or replaced, and which no insurance
risks can ever give back to u.s.
Among these are the invaluable collections
of books, pamphlets and manuscripts in the
Historical Societys we'll filed rooms; the
priceless scientific collections in the rooms
Of the Academy Of Sciences: the vast col
lection of curiosities, wonders and valuables
in Colonel Woods Museum: the oil paint
ings in the Opera House and Academy Of
Design Art Galleries, and in the score Of
artists studios; the choice art collections
and libraries in the private residences Of
wealthy citizens on the south side avenues
and on the north side; the libraries Of the
Library Association and the Young Mems
Christian Association, and the vast stocks
Of fine books and pictures in the great State
street book stores and other losses only ap-
parently less important because less gen
orally known.
The value Of many Of these rare treas
ures of literature, art and wonder, can not
be computed by money yconsiderations-the
were beyond price, beyond the power Of
purchase. and are beyond the power Of hu-
man wealth or ability to replace.
