THE LAST GIFT CONCERT POSTPONED

The announcement of apostponement
of the Last Gift Concert of the Public
Library of Kentucky will not surprise
the public. In Governor Bramlette' s
card, published below, he gives reas-
ons for it which will be accepted with
out question by every one. The man
asement in this instance, consulting
the interests of ticket holders and those
designing to become ticket holders,
have not waited until the last day to
make this announcement, but Just as
soon as they became satisfied of the ne
cessity of this postponement, have
promptly made the announcement. 1t
is unnecessary to review the causes
which have necessitated this action, as
they are fully recited in Governor
Bramlette's card. The promptness and
frankness with which the public have
been made aware of the intention of
the manager will meet with the hearty
commentator of every one, and excite
such new interests and confidence in
the scheme and the ability of the man
ager to perform what he promises,
that there can be no doubt that on the
day specified the last concert will be a
full one.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
The announcement of the postpone
ment of the Fifth and Last Concert of
the Public Library of Kentucky to the
Both November, l am satisfied, will sur
prise few and disappoint none of the
friends and patrons of the enterprise;
indeed, any other course would create
dissatisfaction. With a precedent of q
postponement of each of the four con-
certs which have already been given,
the public have very naturally and
reasonably expected that in this, by far
the largest scheme of the series and
the largest ever offered to the world
the same course would be followed; and
there are thousand all over the country
who are only waiting for the setting of
Il certain fired day for the drawing be-
fore sending in their orders. The sales
of tickets to this date have been highly
satisfactory, and large drawing might
he had on the 3lst of July; but feel
ing assured that short postponemcnt
would enable us to close out the re-
mainder of the tickets and make the
drawing full one, we have adopted
the course which has evidently been
anticipated, and which must evcntuate
most satisfactorily for all.
Now that the day of the drawing is
absolutely determined, there remains
no further occasion for delay; and l
would urge the friends of the enterprise
who intend to purchase tickets, to send
in their orders, as it will tax my Office
to its utmost capacity to accomplish all
that is to be done in the short time
which remains for the sale of tickets.

QUEsTloNABLE.-The Pacific Tribune
is one of the best local papers in the
Territory but it sometimes omits an
item which would be of general interest
to the public. An instance of this ret
icence has come to our knowledge: A
few evenings ago while its editor was
on a moonlight drive with daughter
of one the most respectable citizens of
Tacoma, the horse ran away and
smashed up the buggy, but fortunately
its occupants escaped without injury.
When Tom was criticized as to his
craftsmanship he disclaimed all respon-
sibility, and in response to the interog-
atory as to whether he held the reins at
the time of the accident, responded that
he did not. The question now arises
who drove, or did anybody drive? Is
it customary for ladies to hold the
reins at Tacoma? If SO, is our friend
under good subsection, and to whom
We pause for reply.

DEATH OF PIoNEER.-The Walla-
walla Union thus alludes to the mission
airy life of Rev. H. H. Spaulding. who
died recently at the Lapwai Agency:
Mr. S. came to this country at, or shortly
after, the coming of DR.. Whitman. In
about 1886 he established Mission at
Kama, not far from where Fort Lapwai
now stands, and aided by his wife, long
since dead, labored increasingly and
apparently successfully in civilizing and
Christianizing the Indians. Eleven years
after, and at the time of the Whitman
massacre in this valley, Mr.. Spaulding
came near losing his lifa - he being
followed by Indians fresh from the
scene of the massacre, and came near
being betrayed into their hands. This
happened between the Walla-w alla river
and the present sight of the Umatilla
Agency. He escaped, however, and by
travelling at night and concealing HIM
self in the day time, after much fatigue
and suffering, finally succeeded in
reaching his home at Kama, finding all
we'll and unmolested. For u number
of years afterward he was compelled to
remain absent from his chosen field of
labor, but when he dared return he
found his Mission occupied as military
post, and so it remains to-day, under
the name of Fort Lapwai. Since his
return to the Nez Perez Indians, he had
labored increasingly for their good, as
he had done i'll former years. The de-
ceased must have been seventy or, per-
haps, seventy-fve years old. He leaves
one son, Mr.. Henry Spaulding, of Whit
man county, and a number of daugh-
tiers, who live in Oregon. He also leaves
his second wife, besides hundreds of
friends, both whites and Indians, who
will long cherish and revere the memory
of the Rev. II. H. Spaulding.

PERSONAL. For once we deviate
from our established rule and refer to
the vile SANDER of the Walla-walla
Statesman affecting our integrity as a
public officer. Suffice is to say that
we repel its accusation in the most pos

denial is unnecessary in a community
where we are known, or where the ma
Lightly of the Statesman has been the
subject of SO much comment. If that
journal is to be believed, one half of
the best citizens of Walla-walla coun-
ty, and the Territory should be behind
prison-bars. If we notice this subject
again it will probably be in different
manner than through the columns of
this journal.

THE New School Ho,sE The Swan.

The New School House The Swan
town school-house presents beautiful
appearance from the bay and the lower
part of town. The building is now
enclosed, and has been covered with
the printing coat of paint. The only
positive defect we observe in the archi-
tectural appearance of the edifice, is in
the position of the spire, midway of
one of the wings, without any compen-
sating ornament on the other, instead
of being placed in the center of the
building, where the roofs join. We
presume that the people will tolerate this
eye-sore," however, in consequence
of the many beauties and practical util-
ity of the design. 1t is, without excep-
ton, the best educational edifice in the
Territory, except the University, at Sc
attic, which excels it alone in size.

Mr.. JAMES d. PORTER, the Demo.
cratic candidate for Governor of Ten.
nessee, was lately judge Of the Cir.
cult Court in that State, but he re-
signed his seat on the bench when he
announced himself candidate for the
nomination, without even waiting to

priety and the dignity of the judicial
Office, since he Is sure of an election,
the Democrats having an overwhelming
majority in Tennessee. With such an
example before him, Judge Bedle, OF

MAYNARD AND MIXED SCHOOLS.

Nh -a-lAEO nv ~ lnAA1B
The Republican candidate for Con-
sui at Prague denies being in favor Of
mixed schools. On Feb. 70, 1872, a
Civil Rights bill, substantially the
same as that now pending, was intro
duced in the House Of Representatives.
The following is a part of its first sec
ton:
THAT no citizen OF the United States
shall, by reason Of race, color, or pre-
vious condition Of seTvItude, be except
ed or excluded from the full and equal
enjoyment Of any accommodation, adj
vantage. facility or privilege furnished
BY = trustees, commissioners,
superintendent, teachers, and other
officers of common schools and other
public Institutions Of learning, the same
being supported by moneys derived
from general taxation or authorized by
law"
That this meant mixed public schools,
and nothing else, is evident from pro-
viso that separates schools for either
color supported by voluntary contribu-
tions, should not be disturbed. The
penalty was a forfeit of $500 TO the
persons aggrieved, and 4 fine Of $500
to 81 goo, or Imprisonment for not less
than a month nor more than a year.
