Chief u. S. A., Washington, ID. G.
DEAR GENERALITY kilograms
from Washington and other sources,
it appears we are likely to become
involved in war with Spain. If so,
presume the seat of war will be in
Cuba. In case we should become in
volved, and the Government should
require assistance, l hereby tender
you my services as volunteer. /
think / could enlist from 1000 to
5000 men who served in the South
ern army during the late war, at
short notice, and who could rendez-
vous at New Orleans, Mobile, Pensa-
cola and Key West, either as cavalry
or infantry.
Yours, very respectfully,
(Signed) n. B. FORREST.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. %, T3}
n. B. Forrest, Memphis,
and have sent it to the War De-
partment with this Endorsement,
Respectfully referred to the Secre-
tsry of War for file." Among the
hundreds of offers that come to me
deem this worthy a place among
the archives, to await coming events.
| regard Mr.. n. B. Forrest one of the
most extraordinary men developed
by our late civil war, and were it
left to me in the event of war re-
curing cavalry, would unhesitst-
ingly accept his services, and give
him q prominent place. l believe
now he would fight against our Ma
tional enemies as vehemently as he
did against us, and that is saying
enough.
Signed w. T. SHERMAN, Gen.
IdOn't believe there will be war,
for neither Government wants war.
Again, in the event of a war with
Spain on account of Cuba, the bulk
would be afoat, for whoever COM
mands the sea can have Cuba. We
may not now have sufficient heavy
iron coal ships, but then some could
be had, and we have an abundance
of good naval officers and seamen
when the result would be certain,
leaving for the land forces the small
er task of occupation. No part of
this will likely be confined to me,
and, therefore, / have sent your let
ter to the War Department., which
can only act after Congress declares
war and provides means for its pros
ecution.

a Gross Outrage.

The course which the Radicals of
the lower house of Congress have per-
sued toward the conservative repre-
sentatives of Louisiana is disgraceful
to the last degree. The Democratic
contestants held certificates in regu-
lar form, signed by Warmoth as Gov
ernor, and dated December 4, 1872.
The representatives of the Kellogg
faction held similar certificates, ia
ted December Is, of the same year,
and signed by Pinchback as acting
Governor. 1t is certain that, if War
moth had no ight to issue certificates
of election, Pinchback had no such
right, as both were elected at the
same time and on the same ticket,
and, besides, the certificate of War
moth were prior date. But admit
ting that the prima facic presump-.
ton was equally strong in both cases,
the question should have been sub
mitted to a committee on elections
and an investigation held before the
case was determined. Instead of this,
however, Butler, with his usual cf-
fronterv, moved that the Kellogg rep
rcScntativCs he admitted ut once,
which was carried, and both Sypher
and Sheldon were sworn in. BY
refusing to submit the cases to the
proper committee for investigation,
when such course was demanded by
every consideration of fairness and
deccncv, Butler and his followers
have pcrpetated an outrage which
should excite the deepest resentment
among all honest men. No one but
a man with a forehead of brass and
heart of venom would have had the
audacity to stand up and insist upon
such a proposition, and no ma
Iority but one lost 10 all sense of re-
sponsibility and honor would have
adopted it. Butler evidently has
certain sort of courage that braves in
tamy.-Cou'ier Journal.

POSTPONEMENT.
Fourth Gift Concert
of Public Library of Kentucky
A Gard to the Public.

The Trustees of the Public Library of KEN
lucky and the management of the Gift Con-
cert announce the postponement OF the
Fourth Gift Concert until Tuesday, the 3lst
of March next.
The public will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paralyZed the business of
every section of this country and of Europe,
has prevented thousands from investing in
tickets. The epidemics pervading almost
the entire South have cut off large and
available market. And, too, the public
Judging from the efforts of these causes have
expected postponement and have declin-
ed to invest without more positive assur.
ance of the drawing taking place on a fixed
day.
All interested desire full drawing, but
for the reason just sta ted this could not be
had on the Sd of Dec ember, but the short
postponement now announced will secure
it.
The management has met with unprece-
dented success. The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to oyer MILLION DOLLARS,
with a number of agencies in this country
yet to hear from, and all others in Europe.
Thus a drawing Scaling the gifts one
half could be had now, but the manage
ment deem it best to have a postponement
and fill dro,ciag.
This pOstponement assures the safe Of all The
tickets and a. FULL DRAWING. That this
determination will meet with the approba-
ton of nearly every one interested is made
apparent by the very numerous letters re-
ceived from every section of this country
ard the Canadas asking for a postpone
ment.
This action of the management VIII work
no detriment to any but will be for the good
of all. By it the fortunate ticket-holder
will receive their gifts IN fuH while it will
not effect those who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the man
agement cmphotically state HdtHer shall be no
further pOstpOReBent, and to this end all agents
will be imperatively required to close u
and transmit their accounts to this Office by
the 2ISt of March.
