We are glad to see that several Of our
leading State journals are advocating the
passage Of an immigration law by our
Kentucky Legislature early next winter.
Other States have such law, and the
result is that those States are being pco-
pied rapidly while our own Is being de-
populated in an equal or greater ratio.
Every season, about September, we no
tice numerous wagons going out, laden
with men, women and children, TO the
Western States. Every season, also,
about the same time, we notice wagons,
similarly laden, coming back again. This
proves that these people, or many Of them
at least, failed to find that the West, with
its chills and fevers, its strong winds and
rainy seasons is as good aplace to live
in as they had heard and hoped, and that
after all, old Kentucky is the better State
to live and die in. Let us have an i'm.
migration law, to invite others in to take
the places Of those who 60 out from
among us and do not return. We need
more men and boys to labor in our fields
and workshops. We need more reliable
laborers than we have-men who are &C.
customed to work, and who think your
money is as valuable to them as their Ia
Dor is TO you.

Religious Belief as Affecting the
Competency Of Witnesses

The Maryland Supreme Court has
just decided an important question af-
fecting the religious belief Of witnesses.
The case in point was an action for debt,
where the defense makes an objection Of
competency to a witness because of his
want of religious belief. The objection
was founded on the old common law
Iule, as well as provision in the State
Constitution providing that a belief in
the existence of a God, with system Of
future rewards and pmishments, were
the only requisites, 1t was shown by
direct testimony to impeach the witness,
that, so far as could be gathered from
his expressions, he came within both Of
the limitations. In rebuttal il was shown
that the witness did not believe in a per-
sonal God, but only in supreme spirit
peryading nature. The court held that
belief in personal God not neces-
sary, and that the witness, by acknowl-
edging the existence of Supreme Being
or power, established his competency TO
testify.

False Reports-unnecessnry AIarm-No
Cases In Town-ReIiabie Information.
Smallpox is reported as raging in va
rious portions of the State. Richmond
has had some ten or fifteen cases, but
owing to the timely precautions taken by
the authorities, the disease received a
check on Saturday last, and we are re-
liably informed that no new cases have
developed since.
In regard to the report which has
gone out that the disease is raging in
Stanford, we pronounce it false. There
are two cases one and half miles east
of town which are under the strict super
vision of DIR. Samuel p. Craig, and the
inmates of the houses are not permitted
to come in contact with any one outside.
The Trustees Of our town are wide awake
and are using all the means within their
power to prevent persons from coming
into town from points where the loath-
some disease is raging. DIR. Craig as
sures us, up to the time of going to press,
that there are no cases of smallpox in
town, and pledges himself to notify us
# any cases should be developed. Our
ffNnds may rest assured that there is no
danger in coming to town.

Address Oh 1.-The Morality Of
Mind

A very ignorant negro from Louisville
by the name of Alcorn, recited his Rad
ical lesson in the presence of small crowd
composed principally ofnegroes, at the
court house on Friday night last. He
succeeded in making one convert for MIR.
Greeley in the person ofour "LoiPdeva.
He said she could tell Grant man by
the color of his skin" He was intro
duced by fair specimen of African in
feriority who said he was "glad to know
that the present congregation could have
pleasure of listening to an address on the
morality Of mind in a black man, which
was the thing most needed by his race. y
The whole performance closed by taking
up collection to defray the expenses of
the Distinguishing gentleman who thought
"Greeley was a very clever man and ev-
ry body ought to vote for him." when
ignorance is bliss It's folly to be wise"

DUNCAN.s LAST EFFORT.

Another number of the Louisville
True Democrat" has been sent broad
cast over Kentucky. We think the OF
ject of this dying struggle will be made
manifest toall, and that its teachings will
not be accepted by any very large num-
Der of our citizens as the true doctrine.
1t is an effort to disorganize the true
Democratic party, and aid in the defeat
of Mr.. Greeley and any man or set of
men who adhere to the Democratic-Lib-
eral cause. We hope that every inteli-
gent and patriotic voter in Central Ken
lucky will give that paper whatever con-
fidence its teaching deserve, and that all
will vote according to what is right. re-
gardless of anything contained therein.

to issue a wild circular which We publish
ON the outside Of this issue, and has had
it widely disseminated in the 'the secret

Bradley. Such tricks have been tried
before, and by wiser and older heads

be accomplished are concerned. 1t will
recoil upon your own head in ten fold
fury, and you will find it out next Tues

On Sunday night last, young negro
boy at Lexington, wrested pistol from
the hands of an Infatuated negro man
named William Thomas, who was beat
ing and choking his (the boy's) mother,
and in the act, the pistol exploded,
whether by accident or design is not
known, and the ball entering the abdo-
men of the man, killed him almost in
stantly. The boy was tried and acquitted.

The Cotton Crop.

A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune
says: "The gathering of the cotton crop
has been pushed forward this season with
great success, in consequence of the alb
sence of rain and the rapidity with which
the balls opened. 1t is very probable
that all the cotton will be housed by the
LIST of this month, unless there should be
an unprecedented spell of bad weather.
The crop of 1872 will not exceed 3,0O0,-
600 bales; indeed, l doubt whether it
will reach that notch, Notwithstanding
the much horn-blowing, as is done about
a big crop"

zens of the United States, will have the
liberty of casting your votes for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the country
and for a Congressman from your respec-
tive district. Fellow-citizens, do your

taxable. That duty is to go to the polls
next Tuesday and vote. Vote as you
think best. Vote as brave men who are
anxious TO perpetuate civil liberty.

NEXT TUESDAY,.

Democrats, Liberal Republicans, you
will bear in mind that next Tuesday you
are TO have the privilege, once more in
life, Of exercising the right Of suiffagc,in
selecting a man to preside over the desti-
mics Of your country. AT any rate you
will have the liberty of making an effort
to select the man Of your choice. You
will also, at the same day, be permitted
10 cast your ballot for one to represent
you from your district, in the halls Of
Congress. We Of the Eighth District,
have put forward Hon. NJ. J. Durham
as the Democratic-Liberal Standard
bearer. To those who know him we'll,
we need utter no eulogy. His worthy
deeds in our section of the district have
endearcd him to every honest man, what.
ever the color, politics, or the religion Of
that man. Who can say that Judge
Durham is not, in every respect, worthy
10 represent any constituency in our
National LegislatureH Who can say
truthfully that Kentucky has ever sent,
or offered tn send, to Congress membes
more diligent, faithful, and honest than
hey To those of our subscribers in Pu.
laski, Wayne, and Russell, who have not
had an opportunity to know him as we
do, we say mall candor, you never knew
a Drawer, ADLER, or more consistent and
energetic man, or one who would reflect
more homer upon his State and Nation as q
representative in Congress; and, if you
will honor him by an election, you will
honor yourselves.
As to Mr.. Greeley, we have no fear
that Kentucky will tail to give him a fine
majority, but want to sec that majority
less than that received by any other
man for any other Office. Friends, do not
falternow. Come to the polls on Tuesday
next, and give us the benefit ofyour vote.
Every vote for Greeley and Durham, is
link in the chain which We desire to
see placed upon Radicalismi in Kentucky.
And which chain is destined to keep
down that spirit for which they are SO
famous in the Southern States.

When the negroes attend public po-
litical debate, they always listen to their
champion, but when the other side is TO
be heard, they Immediately "vamose the
rancho. This shows their unwillingness
to listen to anything which does not
smack of the peculiar views of their adj
vocates. Thus, wecan easily account for
the gross ignorance and prejudice of the
black race. The time will yet come when
the blacks will seriously regret that they
did not listen to the truth.

Durham and bradley.

These two candidates for Congress
spoke in the courthouse ON last Wednes-
day evening. Each did the best he could
for his party, and We must admit that
for one so "young,' Mr.. Bradley is rather
remarkable as a debater. However, the
ponderous logic of Judge Durham made
the "young man" vince many times.
Durham will be elected-mark that.

Mrs. GreeIey's Death.

Mrs. Horace Greeley is dead. To Mr..
Greeley, the whole country expresses its
sympathy and mourns withhim the death
of his beloved wife. She went with him
through the evil as well as through the
good report, and now that death claimed
her for its own, the country mourns with
Mr.. Greedy her death, which is so great
a loss 10 him.

A Radical Lie.

We have seen in several OF the Radi-

Durham is in favor of Mixed schools, in

but a few blacks. This is an infamous

itor who penned it knew it when he
wrote it. THERE'S not a respectable man
