Council should proceed at once,
under the advice Of the City Attor-
.ney, to ratify these grants, attach
ing to their resolution a condition
protecting the city against a posi-
BE failure to construct the entire
road to Texas, and begin the con
struction westwards from Donald
sonyille within a given period. Mr..
Morgan is in good faith, as we are
very sure he is, he win not object
to a condition which would have
been very proper if it had been inn
posed upon the New Orleans, No
bile and Texas Railroad Company.

large and sweeping rights to close
any of these streets.
These propositions embrace the
extent OF what Mr.. Morgan sug-
gests, as conditions upon which he
is willing to embark his large
means in this great enterprise. Let
the city act on these, as if they
were new propositions, entirely in
dependent Of and without reference
to the grants Of the Legislature or
the questions at issue in the suits
pending in the Eighth District
Court. We believe that there is an
almost universal sentiment In favor
,of such concessions. The effect
thereof would be the immediate
commencement of the work on the
road, and its vigorous prosecution
to an early completion When
Charles Morgan says this will be
doney no one will have any doubt
about its being done. Should, how
ever, such conditions be inserted in
the contract, they would, we have
no doubt, be accepted. Without
this arrangement there is reason to
apprehend a long delay in the com
pletion of the road.
Such consequences ought not to
be uhderestihated BY our city au-
thorities. The people regard them
with great anxiety! They would
not approve any narrow or illiberal
spirit on the part Of the Admins
traitors. Even large sacrifices would
be cheerfully conceded to prevent
any delay in an enterprise fraught
with such inealculable benefits to
oul commerce and general pros
perity. But sdch are not demanded
by Mr.. Morgan, On the contrary,
his proposal embraces very mode
rate and reasonable concessions.
Something of value no doubt is to
be given by the city, and some in
convenience may result to some
parties, but how trivial all these
will be- in view of the 7ast results
from the early completion of direct
railroad communication between
this city and Texas?
1t is in this spirit, we trust, the
Council will consider and act upon
the subject.
Acquiescence in Mr.. Morgan's
propositions will excite general
through all classes of
our people, and give a new zest to
the festivities and enjoyments of
our holidays.-[N. o. Times.

ONES FR1END.-Money can buy
many things, good and evil. All
the wealth of the world could not
buy you a friend nor pay you for
the loss of one. II have wanted
only one thing to make me hap
py," Hazlitt writes, "but wanting
that, have wanted everything"
We are the weakest of spend
thrifts if we let one friend drop off
through inattention, or let one push
away another, or if we hold aloof
from enc for petty. jealousy or
needless sight or roughness.
Would you throw away diamond
because it pricked you? One good
friend is not to be weighed against
the Jewels Of the earth. If there is
GOODNESS or unkindness between us,
lot us come and have it out. Quick,
before love grows cold /" life is too
short to quarrel H." or to carry
back thoughts of friends. If am
wrong, / am sorry if you, then I
am sorry yet, for should I not
grieve for my friends misfortune !;
and the mending ofyour fate does
not lie with me, But the forgiving
it does, and that is the happier
Office. Give me your hand and call
it even. There it is gone; and /

A Sunday Tragedy.

We copy as follows from tina
louisville Ledger of the Goth. 'Ao
One of the most frightfnl tra6s,
dies of the year was enacted VS. e
terday aftern6 On in the busy l;tr3
suburb Of Germantown. iocafa5
east Of Preston street, and song
of Broadway. The crime il nnna
tural, and the details So horrifvino
that they can scarcely be believed
Mr.. Charles Weisart, a respectable
butcher, resides on Kain street .Bag
tween Swan and Logan. He has
wife and two children. He married
his wife fifteen years ago, and sinsef
that time their relations have been
mutually agreeable. Mr.. Weisarf
has a widowed mother who lived on
Shelby street. Her name is Mrs.
Mamie Klauner, she having been
married a second time. Mrs. Klau-
ner has been in the habit Of VISITING
the family Of her son two OF three
times q week. Yesterday she paid
them q Christmas visit, The dav
was spent very pleasantly, and
about 4 o'clock Mr.. Weisart left
the house to go to The stable tai
hitch up the horses for the purpose
of taking his mother home. AsheA
left the house his wife proposed to
carry toithe porch a basket of arr
ticles belonging to MRS. Klauner.i
and did So. Mr.. Wgisart, while III
thB stable, heard Cries Of distress
and returned to the house. The
first sight that met his gaze was,
the form Of his mother lying upon
the fbbry and hiswif6 bending over
it, plying deadly, blows With a SHARP
hatcEiAt, Mr., Weisart flushed upl
but his wife turned upon him, and
it was only by his utmost exertions
that he escaped deadly blows. He
wrested the weapon from her, and
she fled to d heighbor's house bare
foot. u.. 4-..>
Mrs. Kthuner was lying senseless
upon the porch, with blood and
brains oozing from the wounds in
her head. DR.: Mason was called
i'll, and upon examination deep
wounds upon the top and side Of
her head were discovered. The
skull was crushed in several places,
and the brains were ooIng out. /,
The wounds were pronounced
necessarily fatal, and at IL O'Clock
last night the injured woman was
in the agonies bf death, and 8ga
this has passed away.
Mrs. Weisart was arrested by
Officer Fred Rupp, aud placed in
Clay street Station She protested
utter ignorance Of the crime, and
was very indignant at being locked
up, She also told the policeman
that she had been eating poison for
fourteen years.
As far as can be ascertained,
there had not been the slightest i'll
feeling between herself and Mrs.
and the motive for Che
attack IS unknown. She said that
she had not been able to sleep for
three nights, and was very anxious
to get a good sleep Tt is supposed
that she Isl laborlng under d de-
rangement of the mind, although
she talked very nationally at Tie
station-house. The deed was evi.
IDENTIFY premeditated, as she had
secreted tie hatehet in a conve-
niept place, and, before her victim
was aware of it, was plying the
deadly blows. m

The Attitude of the Mayor ON
the Texas Rs iIrOad Question.

We have called upon Mayor
Flanders to ascertain the grounds
on which he hesitates to assent to
the ratification Of the levee grants
made by the State Legislature to
the New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas Railroad Company. The
Mayor denies that he is opposed
absolutely to the City Councils
confirming these grants, but so far
nothing in the shape Of an official
application and upon which they
would be authorized finally to act,
has been presented to the city gov
eminent. The Mayor does not
know officially that Mr.. Morgan
has bound himself in legal form to
invest q million and q half of dol
lars in the stock of the New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas Railroad
Company nor whether Mr.. Morgan
is to be interested in the stock of
the whole line from Mobile to
Texas, or only in the branch line
from Vermilliontille to Shreveport.
He thinks that the city should have
some guarantee of a precise char
acter that confirmation of these
levee grants by her would secure
the completion of the line from
Donaldsonville to Houston. He
urges that if the city was right in
uniting with Mr.. Morgan to resist
The occupation Of the levee by the
N. O., M. and Texas Railroad
Company, and to institute the suit
against that company, which has
just been decided by the Eighth
District Court adverse to the claims
of the city, nothing has yet oc7
Cured to his knowledge to cause
the city to abandon her preten-
sions. Mr.. Flanders states further
that q committee Of the Council
having been appointed to investi-
gate the matter and report, and
the legal adviser Of the Council
having been requested to furnish
them with an opinion On certain
questions Of law concerning the
batture, and tie liabilities Of the
city to its former owner, these re-
ports should BE received and con-
sideTed before final action shall be
taken. AS public opinion seems to
be unanimous in favor Of orr ac-
eepting Mr. Morgan's offer, and as
delay may cause him tocaacel the
agreement into which we have not
the smallest doubt 10 has entered

The New Orleans, Mobile and
Texas Railroad, and the City
Administrators.

4 ANAAAhAAShAGAGOASe
The course of the Mayor and
Council in deferring action upon
the proposition so suddenly made
to them, relative to the grants to
the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas
Railroad, suggested by Mr.. Charles
Morgan, until they could under
stand distinctly the nature, extent
and effect of the concessions asked,
cannot be Justly complained of.
1t would have left O very unfa-
vorable impression as to their pru-
dence and dignity, if they had
yielded to the unreasonable clamor
and dictation of those persons and
newspapers, who prejudice even q
good cause by their style of adj
Vocacy. ....u
Tt is hardly necessary that in so
important a matter the city Off
Gals should be possessed of fuller
information than appears to be en-
joyed by even those most clamor-
GUS for immediate action by the
authorities. When the city is asked
to ratify all the grants made by
the Legislature to the New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas Railroad;
the Mayor and Administrators
may be well justified for pausing to
examine and weigh we'll the effect
of such confirmation. And when
fully acquainted with the far reach
ing character of those grants, they
might well hesitate before aban-
doning the legal defences set up in
the suit now pending.
But no proposition Of this char
acter has been made to them. In
fact; the concessions suggested by
Mr.. Morgan, as essential to his
Identification with the railroad en-
terprise, are but small portion of
the franchises and privileges con-
ferred on the company by the acts
of the Legislature, and as original
grants might be acted upon by the
city authorities without preiudicing
the rights or claims Of the Cor
poration. What are these conCes-
sions which Mr.. Morgan regards
as so important to the quieting the
title and possession of the compa-
ny Of what it now has and which.
are so necessary to promote, facili-
tate and assure this great enter
prise, and render its public use
more extended? Simply what Che.
company now has in full use and.
occupation the same lines and
tracks it now has, and no others /;
the wharf and ferry rights the com
pany now has, and the two squares
of vacant and unoccupied ground
between Canal and Gravier Streets
to be used only for a depot, and to
revert to the city if not so used,
These squares are certainly Of
some value to the city in case its
Irrigated title thereto should be-
quoted; but whatever that value
may be, it would not be an unreal
sonable bonus to an enterprise Of
such enormous value to Che city.
Even considering the extravagant
price put upon this property, how
insignificant this sum would be
composed with the immense addi-
tionfto thereyenue Of the city from
the increased assessments Of all
property, by even the commence
ment Of this great road under such
auspices, and with the cooperation
Of a. capitalist like Charles Nor
gan, who never fails in any under
taking. No demand is made for
the closing Of Grayier OF any other
street communicating with the
river, though the acts Of the Legis-
lature gave to the company very

Elizabeth Scholler, widow of An
tome Piedmont. They married and
lived happily, until in an evil hour
Muckenberger was persuaded to
take the hazards 81 a ticket in the
Hayana Lottery. That was the
foundation of this sad story. The
ticket was boughtg and for safe
keeping was placed in the hands
Of the wife to await the result Of
the drawing, each being thorough
" enthused with the hope of be-
coming suddenly rich, and each
forgetting that 4
can curses come from gold.
The eventful hour at last arrived,
and the ticket drew a prize of FIVE
thousand dollars: 1t SO happened
the old gentleman was away from
home at the time Of the announce
ment Of this happy result. The
|" guide wife" being in possession
of the ticket became almost deli
.rious in her excitement, and has
tened to have the prize dashed, and
having done that carried the filthy
lucre to the Peoples Bank, and
deposited it in the name of " Eliza
Petermonte, .tutrix." Having thus
secured her treasure, she returned
home, to await the return Of her
leige lord, and prepare herself t5r
the storm that wassin store forhef:
Muckenberger returned, and hear
ing of this good luck, demanded
one-half of the money, which was;
to his astonishmeht, refused. A
small scene followed, remarkable
at least for its volatility. The old
man rushed off to Messrs. Plan
chard & Kramer, attorneys; and
thereupon soon followed a formi-
dable petition to the Fifth District
Court; in which petitioner alleges
that he can no longer endure the

A FULL'DRAWINc IN SIGHT!


THE GRAND GIFT CONCERT, for the benefit of
i the Public Library of Kentucky, is postponed to
Saturday, the 9TH of December for the following rea
sons;
l. The failure of certain agents to make returns in
time for the drawing to take place September Is.
2. The accumulation of orders during the last few
days to such extent that it was not possible to fill
them and have the drawing on the 18th.
3. The generally expressed desire of ticket-hoders
that full drawing might he had even if it made q
short postponement necessary.
4. The belief of the Management that by short
postponement the remnant of unsold tickets can be
disposed Of and all the prizes paid in full without the
necessity of any pro rata scaling down. -
rthese reasons coupled with the earnest desire to
benefit the Public Library by larger balance and the
ticket by larger gifts the concert and distrbu
ton have been postponed to Saturday. the th of De-
cember 1872. On that day and no other the drawing
will positively and unequivoeay come off in the great
hal of the Public Library building beginning at pre-
csey o'clock A. NJ and continue until the whole of
the one thousand gifts are awarded.
The payment of the gifts will begin the Sd day after

funds, by the Farmers and Drovers Bank, by sight
