Study these figures well. They are
correct. Their story is a plain one.--

purely Democratic rule the debt of
Belmont County, was increased $780,
2s6 4S; and that in two years of Repub-
lican rule it was decreased s105, ,44S 81.
They tell you, further, that the annual
running expenses of the Bridge, Coun-
ty and Building funds for the years
1870 and 1871 reached the enormous ag-
gregate of$l17,741 o. per year, and that
the expenses of these funds for the two
years following were only s32,456 90
per year, q difference of $85, ,285 OF,
$117 ,74l OF under the old admins
tration, against s32, 456 90 now; which
will you take for the future? Do you
want to plunge wildly into debt again,
and again be taxed oppressively as you
now are, to pay off such debt and the
interest thereon

A BORDER STATE CITY---WHAT LOUIS
WILLIE Is DOING--HER GREAT IL
BRARY.
From an Occasional Correspondent.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. Is, 1873.
Mr.. Ed: Louisville lost something
Of her prosperity by the war, for she
was on the border and sustained damage
from both sides. But since the City Of
the Falls has been going forward with
giant strides. 1t is becoming the great
point of the South.
The one thing that Louisville prides
herself upon, is her Public Library.
The building is magnificent one, and
the library is one of the largest in the
1t contains splendid collec-
ton of paintings, department of
and museum.
This library was bought, paid for,
and is being enlarged by a series Of
Gift Concerts, held under the direction
Of the State Legislature. The last con-
cert was given July 8th, when 500, 900
in cash was distributed by lot to the
in sums from $100, 900
down to $40. The committees super
intending the drawing were made of
the best men Of Louisville, including
lawyers, ana merchants, and
the enormous sum was paid on the
following to the holders
without discount.
The next Concert and Drawing will
take place in December, and a scheme
has been prepared of such magnitude
as was never before offered. One Mt
lion Fiue Hundred Thousand Dollars
will be distributed in prizes varying
from $3.50, 900 down to $50. There are,
in this scheme, gifts of $3.50, 600; $780,
600; $50, 900; s25, 900; SIT 800; ten of sl0,-
600 each, thirty of S., 900 each; fifty of
81 900 each; and so on, all OF which will
be distributed among the holders of the
tickets sold. The tickets are sold at
$50; halves and tenths proportiOnately.
The best men in Kentucky manage
this scheme. Ex-Gov. Bramlette is
the manager, and the Farmers and
Drovers Bank of Louisville guarantee
the funds.
/ was to-day in the Office Of the
Library. Gov. Thos. 4. Bramlette,
the manager, was directing the mail
ing of thousands of circulars in res
pOnse to inquiries from all parts OF the
Union, and an immense corps of clerks
was executing his orders, 1t would
save trouble if letters of inquiry were
addressed simply: "ThOs. E. Bramlette,
Agent Public Library, Louisville,
Kentucky" These letters take pre-
cedence, and are answered promptly.
Tickets are being sold at a rate OF
hundreds day. LEO.
