reader will notice from the figures copied
below that the May imports at this port
reached over forty million dollars. where

goods viii this year be transported BY
rail IN bond, the dut+es to be paid when
they reach their destination in interior

Grassland. The expression of the Co

and Paducah Tobacco Plant, are pre-
ciselv Of the same tone. The Hickmau
CoUnrrR has expressed similar reasons,
repeatedly, heretofore.
10 addition, the COURIER may state
that. Col. Martin has been in the District
but few years, that he is comparatively
a stranger. whereas Judge Grassland Is
native aud to the manner born, and since
early manhood has been aeti%ely identf
fed with our public interests; and n the
various trusts conGded to him by our
people lie has ever been faithful and
efficient. We have known him as'mem

We have learned through third parties,
chat the Padacah Kea~chjan, or Col
Juo. Martin the senior editor of that
paper, has INDUCED in two cards, making
a personal attack upon the editor of the
Paducah Tobacco Plant, and iaferentiaI
ly upon the-other papers ofthis District
The issues of the Ke9mckiaa, which We
suppose contain these cards, have never
been received at this Office. We regard
it as a singular omission, as every other
issue of the Kenhchjan, except those
two, have been received, regularly. IF,
therefore, these cards contained anything
which would appear to demand notice
our failure to do so. viii be understood

cards are of a personal nature; and if so,
we shall deeply regret it. Such con-

rrnn oscar Turner.

By request, we transfer from the
Paducah Tobaec? Plant call upon the
Hon. Oscar Turner, to become candidate
for Congress in this District. In abiIi-
tv he has no superior in the District,
and has never known any other political
association than with the old Democracy.
We doubt if he will enter the race at
this time. Many of his warmest friends
have already given expression in favor
of Crossland's return, and his candidacy
now would produce awkward relations
