Crime In Kentucky.

Its beginning to force itself upon the
people that the laws are openly defied
in every city, town aud hamlet-in
every highway, field and byway in
Kentucky, by staggering rutiians who
kill because they know that punish-
ment will never follow. 1t is beginning
to be understood that the reet-fights,
which elsewhere would be plainly ana
properly termed murders, that have
restored to Kentucky her olden title Of
the bloody ground would not occur ex-
cept that the law and its officers are
cowed and cringe before armed brutali-
ty. They are beginning to understand
that, in default of the protection that
the law should give, they must protect
Themselves. When this growing
knowledge becomes matured we will
have-anarchy. We will have a season
of bloody reprisals, and the social sys-
tenn will after awhile be purified, but
as by fire. This is a dreadful outlook.
But it is an inevitable outlook, unless
the law reasserts itself in time 10 avert
it.-LOuisUHte COurier.JOurndi.

THE PISTOL IN KENTUCKY.
a Fearful Record of Crime Exposed.


From the Louisville Courier ournaLl
The record of personal violence
made in these columns the last six
months is something more than un-
promising-it is uiscouraging. The
partial suspension of masked villainy
seems to have opened the way for an
epoch of individual oUtlawry of the
most sanguinary and despicable char
acter. In the darkest aud bloodiest
days of the dark and bloody ground,
there was not 1.-THE of the murder
done which has disgraced the soil of
Kentucky during the present year.
We can not be injured abroad. We
have already a reputation which can
not be worsted, and, the bad luck of it
is, that it is well deserved. The law
against the carrying of concealed
weapons is dead letter. There has
scarcely been the conviction of a re
spectacle, well-to-dO man, for murder
or homicide, the last twenty years.
Every coward and bully goes armed
Every case of manslaughter goes uu-
punished. Every case ofshoOtlng with
intent to kill passes by as an amusing
episode, provided there be no funera'.
Even the most atrocious, cold blooded,
deliberate, malignant, dastardly assas-
sinations have left no mark OH the
statute books except the mark of
acquittals purchased by money or in
limitation. Red-handed murderers
roam at large among respectable people.
Red handed murderers occupy places
of responsibility and trust. The rule
is that you may kill your man with
impunity.
There is no danger Of the gallows or the
prison for the assassin who has money and
| friends. A drink too many-a word too
much-a pull at the trigger of six-shooter,
and funeral, and a mock trial, and no
| thought for the widow and the orphan, no
thought for the public peace, so the muir
derer be a good natured fellow, who is
sorry, and has enough to pay the piper.
| That the way the law wags in Kentucky.
There are at this moment fifty cases of
homicide on our criminal docket, which
ought to be recorded MS murder cases,
where the defendant is at large on bail with
the least possible danger of an adverse
result. There are five hundred cases OF
petty shooting, with intent to kill, which
will never come to trial.
If specifications be demanded of us, we
are ablo to produce one hundred murderers
and five hundred cases of simple shooting,
all the result of whisky and hot blood,
which are at the present moment docketed
| for trial in Kentucky.

HOME CIRCLE.
NOT LOST.

Being rooted like trees in one place,
Our brain foliage tossed
Like the leaves of the trees that are caugh
By the four winds of heaven, some though
Blows out of the world into space
And seems lost.
We fret, the mind labors, heart bleeds;
We believe and we fear
We believe and we hope, in lie,
Or truth or we doubt till we die,
Purblindly examining creeds
With a sneer.
To life we apply an inch rule
And to its bestower;
Each to self an nfallible priest
Each struts to the top Of the feast,
And says to his brother, Thou fool
Go down lower
But fall'n like trees from our place
Hid, imbedded, enmossed-
Our dead leaves ARE raked up for mould
And some that were sun-ripe and gold,
Blown out of the world into space,
Are not lost.

Tribute of RESPECT.

Whereas, It has pleased our Supreme Grand
Master In His mysterious providence to re-
move from our midst our much beloved friend
ard brother, Franklin Locke, who, after a
painful illness departed this life at his resi-
dence in Rhea county, Tennessee, on the Both
day OF October, 1874, aged 63 years. Our be-
loved Brother was born and raised in Rhea
county, Tennessee, where he spent the whole
of his useful and honorable life, and by his
sterling qualities as n citizen, mason and u
christian. he has won the highest esteem OF
all who knew him.
Whereas. He has been consistent and USE
fut member of the Masonic fraternity for a
number Of years, and has enshrined his
memory deep In the affections OF his Brethren,
Resolved, Therefore, that we, as a Lodge,
deeply depiore his untimely death-feeling as
slired at the same time that our loss Is his
eternal gain; believing that he has but been
removed from his abors here below, to his re-
ward in that blessed abode, "where the wick
ed cease from troubling and the weary are ut
rest.o
Resolved, That in the death of Brother
Franklin Locke, Washington Lodge has lost
q useful and substantial member; society a
valued and esteemed citizen; the church u
jealous and devoted christian, and his widow
a kind and atfectionate husband.
Resolved That we deeply sympathize with
the bereayed widow and friends of our de-
Oh death! Why dids't thou claim our be.
loved Brother, and snatch him from time TO
eternity, in the plentitude OF his usefulnessp
Why ddst thou rob the poor man Of the
friend, who never suffered him to pass empty
handed from his duorf Why dids't thou en-
ter Gods sanctuary and take from the church
that light that shown as lamp to guide the
footsteps Of the wanderer here below ?-the
family circle and take friend, companion
and husband, and leave friends TO weep, and
TO the poor widow all darkness In the future,
save the light Of the hope of meeting again 7
Why dids't thou rob us as a Lodge of thai
councillor unto whom we have listened in the
past, of that magic pillar which has added to
our institution strength, beauty, and harnfo.
n.y. ".But God doeth all things well.H II
therefore remaineth to us not to weep, but to
rejoice and to endeavor by the practicing Of
virtue, honesty and religion, to meet him In
that Grand Lodge above where parting is as
foreign as permanent union is here.
Resolved, That these preamble and resolu-
tions be entered upon the minutes of this
Lodge, and that copy of the same be pre-
sented to the widow of the deceased; also q
copy furnished the ATHENS Posi- and Cleve-
land Banner for publication, and that the
members of this Lodge wear the usual badge
Of mourning for thirty days.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
A Short Possp0nement Of ths
Fifth Cliff Concert.

AS manager OF the gin concerts given In
aid OF the Public Library OF Kentucky my
position creates an important trust In behalf
Of the Public Library and the tieket-holders
OF the fifth gift COZ cert. The Public Library
Of Kentucky apd the ticket-holders are joint
ly 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 ticket-bolder ana the more the amount
realized by the Library. To have full araw-
Ing is so manifestly TO the interest Of those in
terested that, rather than have u fractional
drawing on the 30th inst, l deem 1t due to the
trust coniided 10 me by the ket-holders and
the Public Library Of Kentucky, that short
postponement be made TO enable me to dis
pose Of the unsold tickets and have q full
drawing. Though the very large amount now
10 bank would enable us to distribute hand
some gifts, yet we should feel disappointed in
this our last concert, should we be compelled
to make fractional drawing, however large.
We have received SO very large number Of
letters from all parts Of the country from
those most largely interested, urging a post
ponement IL all the tickets be not sold by the
Both, that we feel strengthened In our sense Of
duty TO the tcket-holders and the Public Lii
brary, to make the postponement. Under the
circumstances, we have determined, In the in.
terest Of all parties, to postpone the concert
and drawing to Saturday, February 81, 1875,
at which time the drawing wild positively
take place, and, as guarantee Of good faith
toward ticket-holders, we pledge ourselves to
refund to any icket-holder his money, upon
presentation Of his ticket, should the draw
ing fail to come of at the day now fixed. The
past, we feel assured, will be sufficient guar.
antee to all interested that they will be fairly
and honestly dealt with. The money paid for
tickets is sacredy preserved against all con.
t!ngences until after the payment Of the gifts,
after which the expenses are TO be reimburs-
ed and the Public Library is to be paid Its
profits. THOS. L. BRAMLETTE,
