TIE Pulaski Citizen says we garbled
one of its article in regard to the public
schools of Giles county What are the
facts We did not copy anything from
our contemporary, but the Citizen copied
about ORe-half of our last article ON the
subject, and left out that portion which
denies the charge that our first article
soSght to cast a slur upon Giles county;
and also that portion of our article which
expressed our contempt for the small local
prejudice, which, we are sorry to say, seems
TO be very Indignantly and palpabiy mani
tested by the Citizen. So much for the
charge of 'garbling.' Maury county
spent s. ,4jl.95 more for public schools
last year than Giles county, but the CIk-
zeR claims that the latter county is ahead
~ the former because it has had public
cue wear in advance of Giles in this
important mater. it seems to us that ii
should be a subject OF praise rather than
- blame. But while this is so, NC do not
shink our county has done anything to
BOAST of-shc should have done much
more. She Is more populous county
tlau Giles, aud according TO population
has not done as much for public education
IN some matters of enterprise, We fear
Giles Is ahead of Maury Her public
spirited citizens have as good as secured
ths Memphis and Knoxville Railroad,
which would have come by Columbia, but
FOR perfect indifference Ou the part of our
people. Instead of accepting olE Ryowsl
of friendly feelings for Giles county, the
Citizen repeats It's charge that we 'insin-
uate something prejudicial to our neigh
boriug county; and Ia many ways showsits
Jeeth and bristles. 1t continues TO accuse
Is of desiring TO rob Giles of credit due
her; aud yet We will repeat that his charge
does US great injustice. We think Giles
county is noble county, and It's people
possess some merits which We would like
20 see the people Of Maury possess.
Taury county falls far short of what her
magnificent natural advantages warrant;
sue is not sufficiently alive to public
schools, building railroads, Urnpikes,
manufactures, etc. Giles has produced
noble statesmen and warriors, of whom
We are proud. Reserve your snafls for
those who hate your county ueighbor.

The Necessity of N Convention.
To the Editors Of the HeraId and Mail: -
/ wish a small space in your columns
this week, that / may present word to
the voters of Maury county on the i'm
portanee of holding convention. There
are numerous candidates for the various
county Offices, and if all continue in the
field as candidates, we know what the
consequence viii be. / am no candidate
for any Office In the gift of the people of
Maury county, and never expect to be,
but desire the success of my party, and
| the election of good conservative men to
| the various Offices TO be filed; men whose
interests are identified with the people s,
and men who are opposed to radicalism
| and misrule. Let Us then meet in the
several civil districts in Maury county
at the voting precincts, as has been sug-
gested, and elect delegates to meet in
May at Columbia, and instruct them how
to represent us and reflect our feelings
when there assembled. / know there are
many who object to this mode of getting
up candidates before the people for the
various offices. / acknowledge that in
times gone by, conventions have been
abused cunning, shrewd and bad mer
have worked themselves into such bodie:
and controlled them to a disadvantage
but still this is no argument against 9
convention; all organizations are liable
TO abuse, church as well as State, yet this
ought not TO be used as an argument
against such bodies. can't see that any
other mode will work as we'll none is as
practicable The plan suggested in your
last issue is imprActicable, and wouldn't
at all meet the wants Of the people.
A convention gotten up by the voters
generally, over the county is the only
mode that will satisfy the people. This
is republican,, this is democratic. The
people of Maury county may want to run
as candidates some who have never an
nUunced themselves, and therefore q
convention is the only practicable mode.
The conservative voters will have to dc
this in self defence. If they are inactive
and regardless of their own interests. and
let all run as candidates who have an
nounced themselves, they viii entail on
their county lot of radical ofice-hold.
ers, and, perhaps, some of them negroes
and then, when it is too late, they will
realize a situation somewhat similar to
that which the white citizens of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana are realizing to-day
Then l argue that 8 convention is the
only practicable, feasible and satisfactory
plan to have harmony in our ranks, and
the Offices filled with the right kind o.

POSTPONEMENT.
Fourth Gift Concert
of Public Library of Kentucky
A Card 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 a more positive assur-
ance of the drawing taking place on a fixed
day.
All interested desire full drawing, but
for the reason just stated this could not be
had on the Sd of December, but the short
postponement now announced will secure
it.
The management has met with unprece-
denied success. The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to over a 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 postponement
and a fuH dra,ciag.
This postponement assures the sale 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
and the Canadas asking for a postpone
ment.
This action of the management Will work
no detriment to any but will be>for the good
of all. By it the fortunate ticllet-hoIder
will receive their gifts in full while it will
not effect those who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the man
ageInent eH'phaticaLlV state thdttkere shall be no
further postpOHemeHt, and to this end ali agents
VIII be fmperatively required to close p
and transmit their accounts to this office by
