A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

A SHORT PosTPoNEMENT OF THE FIFTH
CoNCERT.-As manager of the gift concert
given in aid Of the Public Library Of Ken
lucky, my position creates an important
trust in behalf Of the Public Library and
the ticket holders of the fifth gift concert.
The Public Library of Kentucky and the
ticket holders are Jointly interested in the
amount Of the drawing. The larger the
fund to be distributed in gifts, the greater
will be the gift awarded to each lucky tick
ct holder and the more the amount realized
by the library. To have full drawing is
40 manifestly to the interest of those inter
eated, that, rather than have q fractional
drawing on the Goth inst, I deem it due to
the trust confded in me by the ticket hold
ers and the Public Library of kentucky,
that short .postponement be made to en-
able me to dispose of he,unsold tickets and
have full drawing. Though the very
large amount now In bank would enable US
to distribute handsome gifts, yet we should
feel disappointed in this our last concert,
should We be compelled to make fraction
ii drawing, however large.
We have received 20 very large num-
Der OF letters from all parts of the country
from those most largely interested, urginr
tN~ttOuSAACAt II tUe t1CASS are QOL
sold by the 30th, that we feel strengthened
in our sense of duty to the ticket-holdes
and the Public Library, to make the post
ponement. Under the circumstances, we
have determined in the interest of all par
ties, to postpone the concert and drawing
to Saturday. February 9th, 1875, at which
time the drawing will positively take place;
and, as guarantee of good faith toward
ticket holders, We pledge ourselves to re-
fund to any ticket holder his money, upon
presentation of his ticket, should the draw
ing fail to come off at the day now fixed.-
The past, we feel assured, will be sufficient
guarantee to all interested that they will be
fairly and honestly dealt with. The money
paid for tickets is sacredly preserved
against all contingencies until after thepay-
ment of the gifts, after which the expenses
are to be reimbursed and the Public Lii
brary is to be paid its profits.

COMPULSORY REsTITUTION--THE Do
TY OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

It will be remembered that in June
last the publisher Of the, St. Cloud
Times was detected in IN attempt to
obtain 1925 out of tho county through
overcharges for work done. His bill,
amounting to 1866, had been allowed
by the Board Of County Commission
ers, but upon the appeal ola number
Of Taxpayers, IS provided by statute,
its payment was suspended. The
case came up before the District
Court last Monday. The publisher
of the Times made no attempt At =
defense, admitting to the County At.
torney that he had made an over
charge Of $110.50 in the ono item of
the publishing Of the Financial State
ment ($27o), and expressing his viii
lingness to have $500 deducted from
tho price he had charged ($24) for
printing thirty small fourteen-paged
court calendars. Although the price
still allowed him for these calendars
was $500 more than the current rates
for such work, and although there
were other minor overcharges in the
bill, it was deemed best to let the
matter pass with a deduction from
the entire bill of $114.50, which was
directed by the Court to be made.
Having admitted to this overcharge,
it may be expected that the publish
er of the Times will pay into the
County Treasury SIS which he OBJ
tanned in 4 like manner on the publ
cation of the Financial Statement of
last year. He then charged 1852,
while by the measurement prescribed
and at the price allowed by law, he
was entitled to only $177. Should he
neglect or refuse to make this restitu-
ton to the county (and as he has just
received the $250.5O allowed on his
suspended order, he could pay back
At once the SIS ideally obtained)
it will become the duty Of the County
Attorney to enter suit to compel pay
ment. 1t is money which belongs to
the county, and if the publisher Of the
Times is not willing to return it, the
taxpayers demand that the proper
officers shall take measures to compel
its return to the treasury.
The Board Of County COMMISSIONS
ers will doubtless hesitate hereafter
about allowing the bills presented by
the publisher of the Times without
first subjecting them to the closest
scrutiny. His demands for prices for
job printing from the county one
hundred per cent more than he
charges private individuals should
not be submitted to. One dollar pei
page is a fairs a generous-price
TOR printing these court calendars, and
any other Office in the State would be
glad to get the work at that rate.

MORE ABOUT THE CAUCUS.

From the Red Wing Republican, (Rep.)
How was it about that Yorke-P ome-
roy business in Kansas? Unless We
mistake, Mr.. Yorke, member of the
Kansas House, on the day fixed for
the election of United States Soma
tor, arose, and showing package of
81, 900 in currency, said that +Pomeroy
paid him that sum to vote for him in
the Republican caucus. Then the
Republican members generally drop
ped the caucus nominee, and elected
Republican without difficulty.
From the Glencoe Register, (Rep.)
We know that help was profered
Mr.. Anderson in the ID !? district in
this county on the condition that he
would pledge himselfto support Ram
sey. And what was the result? Mr..
Anderson announced himself as a
Davis man, and he was defeated. In
view Of these facts we submit wheth-
er we have not good cause for be-
lieving that the ring has resolved on
the "rule or ruin" policy. Let it be
borne in mind that those very men
who spent their time and money. in
defeating Republican candidates for
the Legislature are now the warmest
advocates Of the caucus.
From the O,catonna Journal. (Rep.)
It cannot be disputed that the eau
Gus is prolific of corruption, and the
convenient hiding place for fraud and
deceit. 1t is the place where pur-
chased votes are secretly delivered,
where con6ding constituents are. COW
ertly defrauded, where money achieves
triumphs through the agency Of the
silent ballot, that could not be won
il the open field, where an outspoktn
avowal of ones choice would reveal
the treachery or unmask: the mercen-
ary hireling.
From the Idylors Fall. Journal, (Rep.)
There is = widespread feeling that
legislative caucuses are, if not the
fruitful source, at least the agency of
corruption, and out Of this some will
avoid it. With Averill slaughtered
| in the.last canvass, and King repuG-
ated at the polls of Ramsey county
by the party, and the fact that Gov.
Davis has been and is growing into
power here in the State, it looks as
though it could not now be foretold
who will be the Chairman of the
Postal Committee for six years to
come. You can't most always some
