The PGbIic Library of Kentucky Gift Con


We call the particular attention of our rea-
derS to the final announcement of Gov. Bram-
lette in, our advertising columns in reference to
the Second Grand Gift Concert to be held in
Louisville, Ky, on the 7th day of December
next. The greater portion of the tickets are al
ready sold, and half million deposited IN
Bank for the payment of all Gifts offered, as will
be seen by the certificate of the Cashier of the
Farmers and Droyers, Bank published in the
advertisement. The demand for tickets since
this annOuncemet has been made is more brisk
than ever, and the remnant will be disposed of
at an early day, so that it behOoves those of our
friends who want to participate in this magnif-
cent Distribution, to order their tickets at once
No agent will be permitted to sell tickets for
the managers after the 25th of November, which
makes the time very short for the supply of
those who may want tickets
The Concert and Drawing is by authority of
SPECIAL Act of the Legislature Of Kentucky,
SO that all Its benefits may be, as now, absolute
~ and forever free to every citizen of every
State. There are e one thousand Gifts in all, the

coffee for the first time since the founda-
ton of the Government. The taxes had
been closely collected and faithfully ap-
piled to the payment of the interest aud
debt.
There has been lost to the Government
by and through defalcation of officers ap-
pointed by Grant. $500, 900, by those ap-
pointed by Johnson, $500, 900, and by
those appointed by Mr.. Lincoln, $500, 900.
You will see that Grants appointees have
lost to the Government less than one half
of that of Mr. Lincoln's, and less than one
ninth of that lost by defalcation of Mr..
Johnson's appointees.
Mr.. Maynard then showed that the cur
rent expenses had been enormously reduc-
ed, and wound up one of the most logical
and convincing arguments to which We
have ever listened and an appeal to his
hearers to support Grant, first az a matter
of principle, and secondly as u matter of
policy. He said that Greeley could not be
elected, and asked the people to place
themselves in accord and harmony with
the party, whose men and principles would
control the destinies of the nation for the
next four years.
He spoke two hours and fifteen minutes,
and was listened to by large audience,
composed equally of Republicans and
Democrats.

4 CANDIDATE CHOSEN.

Immediately after the motion to adjourn
had passed, another meeting was held
presided over by Mr.. Pickens, when the
following resolution was adopted as the
sense of the meeting:
Resolred, That recognizing the need of
a representative of the wOrkingmen of
Knox county in the Legislature, we here
by cordially and unanimously present the
name of Robert III. Seay as the candidate of
the workingmen of Knox county for Rep
resentative in the next General Assembly.
On motion, an executive committee of
nine was appointed to prepare an address
to the people of the county and to make
whatever arrangements may be deemed
necessary for the successful carrying out Of
the objects in view.
The following gentlemen Wore appoint
ed:
T. B. Mann, NJ. D. Sullivan, James AL
Iison, w. H. McCampbell, J. w. Neither
land, J. NJ. Havely, w. B. Right, Archie

B. Mullett, the supervising architect, who
stated in letter to Gen. Meigs that our
marble, in his opinion, could not be sur
passed in the United States for durability.
\ This letter. in connection with other re-
commentators and the fine quality of
eur marble places us prominently before
the Department, but should the entire
contract for all the cemeteries in the Unit
ed States be awarded to one contractor,
then, in that event, we fail, from the fact
that we can only bid for portion of the
cemetaries. Quite a number of marble
men are here, waiting the decision of the
Department, which will be made public in
very few days, as they are making an ex-
amina ton of the samples to-day; and of
course many of them will go home disap-
pointed.
Now, little politics, and L am done.
Since my arrival here / have seen men
from all the States in the Union, and it is
the universal opinion of all that Greeley
has no chance of being elected. Even the
Democrats are honest enough to admit
that he will be defeated. 1t seems there is
a terrible revolution taken place since the
late elections. In other words, there is
terrible drift from the Greeley party over
to the Grant ranks.
Praise God from whom all blessings
flow, etc. Il.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. a, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Having q few
moments of time l thought it might in
terest some of your readers to hear word
from q KnoXviilian. We arrived in this
city on the evening of the 10th inst, and
after taking quarters at the popular old
hotel, the Ebbitt House, we began to look
round and soon found that there were
quite number of gentlemen here on the
same business that brought us here. So,
on the 18th inst, in pursuance to adver-
tisements the biddings for the erection Of
headstones at all the graves in the Nation
al Military Cemeteries in the United
States, were opened by that staunch old
veteran, Gen. NJ. G.. Meigs, and / assure
you that there were quite host of
bidders, and one of the grandest
display ofmarble you ever witnessed. There
are marble granite and slate OH eXhibi-
ton from nearly all the States in the Union.
There are three hundred and fifty-five
samples on exhibition, nearly all of which
differ in quality, size and style, and as the
writer of this is q KnoXvillian and has
some East Tennessee samples on exhibi-
ton, it, perhaps, would not be out of place
to state that this marble has attracted the
attention ofquite number of marble men.
Whether we succeed in carrying our point
or not, we feel that we have accomplished
something by bringing our East Tenpes-
see marble into notice. We met Col. A.

noon, and when nearly opposite North McGreg.
or her boiler exploded aud blew all above the
boiler deck into fragments. The hull immedi-
atey sunk in sixteen feet of water. The Ala
Mako, transfer boat between Prairie du Chen
and North McGregor, fortunately was at the
landing at North McGregor, and went to the as
sislaDco of the sufferers, and picked up eight of
the crew, five of whom were seriously wounded.
Two OF them have since died. IL is not definite
~ known how many were on board, as the cap
tain and owner of the boat remained in St.Iouis.
AS near ms can be made out from the stories of
those saved, there must have been between
twenty-nine and thirty-hve. Five persons are
known to be dead, and many Others are miss
ing. There were no passengers. The second
engineer, who was on duty at the time of the
explosion and was badly scalded, says he was
attending carefully TO his duty, and had tried
the water not more than three minutes before
the explosion, and found water in the two tor
gauges. He seems to think the boiler very I'M.
ferlor but cannot account for the explosion.
