7 YOUR TICKETS NOW OR NEVER


The vast sale of tickets already made and
the, increasing demand for them from all
quarters having determined the Trustees
that the Grand Gift Concert for the benefit
of the Public Library of Kentucky, advertis-
ed, for Saturday, September %, 1272, shall
positively come off on that day without post
ponemelit, the management now notifiesau
who expect to participate in the drawing
that they should buy their tickets at once.
Delay for, q, few days caused many who
wanted tickets at the concert in December
last to go without them. Some living in
Louisville, waited until sales were closed,
expecting no doubt, a postponement, and
then offered fifteen, twenty, and even twen-
ty-five dollars for tickets, which the day be-
fore, were offered to purchasers at the regu-
lar price. Others, living at a distance, sent
thousands of dollars by mail and express,
which got here after sales were closed, and
had to be sent back. These disappointnents
need not occur again if the warning now
given in due season is needed.
The drawing will begin precisely at 6
o'clock, Saturday morning. September 2S
1872, in the great hall of the Public Library
Building, and continue until the one thou
sand gifts are all drawn.

4 BILL has been introduced in the Sem
ate to provide for Board Of Equalization
l. this State, whose duty it shall be to
equalize and adjust the assessment of all
the real estate on which state taxes shall be
levied. Such board is unq uestionably
needed in this State, and tho bill as pre-
pared seems to properly define the power,
authority, and duties Of the same. 1t pro-
vides that the board shall consist Of five
officers, to be named State Assessors, who
shall be appointed by tho Governor, by
and with the consent Of the Senate. The
bill as offered has one serious defect, we
think, in not fixing definite term of Of
Zee for the members Of the board.
Passed in the form in which it is present.
ed the assessors would hold for life, how.
ever incompetent they might be for the dis
charge of their duties. 1t is only in case
of death, resignation, refusal or inability to
serve, that any change can oe made in the
board. A board Of equalization IS all
right, but we don't want incompetent as
SCISSORS forced on us, with no power what
ever to get rid of them. This is sold

Now it is said that the postal cards will
be issued at an early day-say about the
second week in January next. They were
authorized in June last, but Congress
failed to make an appropriation for their
engraving and printing. Postmaster-Gen-
eral Creswell estimates that the country
will use during the year 1o0,ooo,oo0 Of
these cards, and he asks Congress to make
an appropriation of 100000 to enable him
to carry out the new system, until the
first of July next. We believe that 1t is a
good plan, and trust that Congress will act
