4 Short POsspOnsmeat Of the Fifth Gift
Concert

4 Short Postp0nemeat Of the Fifth Gift
Concert.
As manager of the gift concerts given in
aid of the Public Library OF Kentucky, my
position creates an important trust in be-
half OF the Public Library and the ticket
holders of the fifth gift concert. The Pub
lie Library of Kentucky and the ticket
holders Are jointly interested in the amount
of the drawing. Tn, larger the fund to be
distributed in gifts, the greater will be the
gift awarded TO each lucky ticbet-holder
and the more the amount realized by the
Library. To have full drawing is so man
ifestly to the interest of those interested, i,
that, rather than have a fractional drawing
on the Goth inst, deem il due to the trust
confided TO me BY the ticket-holders and
the Public Library of Kentucky, that a
short postponement be made TO enable me
TO dispose of the unsold tickets and have d
full drawing. Though the very large
amount now in bank would enable US to dis
tribute handsome gifts, yet We should feel
disappointed in this our last concert, should
We be compelled to make a fractional draw
ing, however large.

follows The charges of unministerial
and unchristian conduct having been
sustained by vote of the Presbytery,
the committee recognize the solemnity

absolute purity Of the ministry, and,

INHUMAN MEANNEss. In 2 certain
town in Rhode Island the parents Of
two children, boy and girl, died,
leaving them to the cold charities of
the world. A meeting of the local au-
thorities was held to decide upon some
action that would relieve the town Of
the expense of supporting the children.
The matter was discussed freely, and at
an adjourned meeting held at . private
residence the children we're required to
be present, and this was the way in
which the case was managed. The boy
was told to 60 into an adjoining room,
where he would ind man asleep, in
certain pocket of whose clothing was
FIVE cent piece, which he was to bring
to the committee. The boy obeyed the
order. The girl was sent to another
room where a woman was sleeping, from
whose pocket piece Of money OF scrip
was to be taken. She also obeyed the
instructions given her, and the children
were afterward arrested upon a charge
Of petty larceny, tried, found guilty,
and sentenced to the State Reforma-
tory School during their minority
Providence Journal.
The pity is that the Providence Jour
nal has not stated the name of the town
where the above case of conspiracy
against virtue and law was planned and
executed. The town, the names of the
parties from Court to counsel, and from
counsel TO witnesses should be pub
lished. There is no scorn too deep
and no language too emphatic to prop
erly condeEn the proceedings In the
case. When the courts are thus pros
tituted there is no safety for people.
When the forms of law are thus used
TO defeat the object of law, it is high
time that close attention is directed
to the method of procedure in every
case in court. Such cases are simply
cases Of satire on law and justice, and
TO tolerate them Is worse than for a
season to be thrown into a state OF an
archy. Anarchy will produce its own
remedy in centralized government
one man power government. The
people of the Rhode Island town who
perpetrated tie outrage under consid-
GRAFTON are not fit subjects for a govern.
ment of laws such as we have in this
country. They are fit subjects only for
4 one-man power government, where
the King is an absolute law unto him.
self, and where such conspirators are
summarlly dealt with, by being shot,
hung, cruei6ed, guil.otlned, gerroied,

CONGRESS should at once pass bill
to convene the next Congress on the
4th ef March, 1875. That is the opin-
ion of people who have given the SUBJ
ject thought. They reach that conclu-
sion. they say, from a consideration of
the fact that the people at the Novem.
Der election elected Democratic Con.
gress, and they want that party to try
Its skill at ''fxing things up" as it has

lT is said there was battle between
colored and white men at Vicksburp.
Miss, on the 9Th INST, which resulted
in the killing Of about one hundred and
fifty colored men. The trouble grew
out of Office holding somehow, but just
how is not known u the world outside
of Vicksburg and vicinity. There is
one queer feature about the case, and
that is, that only few white meu we're
killed aud wounded. Perhaps i, was a
massacre, and not battle.

The late elections have given keener
tone TO the Southern sentiment that has
been arrayed against the North. Peo-
pie down there have mistaken the cause
of the change Of the vote of the North.
They have looked on it as a change in
their favor. The North has not changed
in her views of the South, and the
sooner Southern people and Democratic
leaders are undeceived as to that point
the better for all parties. The fnan-
oial question - what is called hard
times-had more to do with it than all
the other things combined. Extrava-
gance, bad appointments, &c, contrib
uted their share to the defeat.

The advocates of q speedy resump.
tion of specie payment seem to believe
that if only the money in circulation
were gold and silver, the panicky
times would be over. But none of
them have yet told the country how
that If every dollar of the National
Bauk circulation and Greenback ciIcu-
latlou were turned into gold and silver,
the times would be bettered. 1t would
not make money plentier if it were all
coin, further than perhaps the premium
Oh coin might add, which would be
such a trife that il would not be worth
taking into consideration III a national
distribution. 1t would not pay any
more of our debts. Our money is
good everywhere among ourselves, and
will pay all our debts except those in
foreign countries. Let those be met
by coin payment as stipulated. When
they are paid the accumulation of coin
in the United States Treasury will be
rapid, and can be used iD the payment
or redemption of our circulating me-
dium at home. If in the meantime
private business houses and corpora
tions see proper to resume specie pay
ment, or pay specie instead Of national
or greenback money, there is nothing to
prevent them from so doing. The sense
of the country generally is against
speedy and forced resumption of specie
payment Time itself aud the laws of
trade will bring about this desirable
end.
