INTERNAL COMMERCE..
Our internal commerce demands additional
and less expensive facilities. The volume of
that commerce has grown in these lusty times to
enormous proportions.
Great as has been the increase of transporta-
ton facilities since the advent of the republican
party, they have not kept pace with The demand
for them. Not only do immense bulks seek
movement, but they require to be moved over
vast distances. The surplus products of those al
most unlimited basins-that between the Allie
gheny and Rocky mountains and that between
the latter range and the Sierra Nevadas-require
to be dipped out into the ocean on either side.
Production is not only vast in amount, but 1t
is so uneQually distributed.
OF the spring wheat grown in the United
States, Wisconsin and Iowa raise nearly one-half.
OF the winter wheat, Indiana and Ohio. produce
nearly one-third. OF the corn raised Illinois
alone grows one-sixth. OF the tobacco, Ken
lucky raises nearly one-half. Nine states raise
nearly all the cotton consumed in this country,
and much of that consumed in Europe.
The cotton fabrics manufactured in the United
States in 1870 were valued at sl57 100000 Ofthose

No Harm DOne.-It is worthy Of e
mark that of all those persons who have
drawn the larger gifts in the fOmth Gin Con-
certs of the Kentucky Public Library, not
one of them has put his money TO bad
use, or been injured in any way by his sur
prising good fortune. Withall of them the
large sums of money they have gained has
been iudiciously invested, and made to pro
duce still other profits. In the last Con

TO The Emil Extent Of the Law.

In the Police Court, yesterday morning,
the cases of Jailer Patterson and Justice OF
the Peace Steele were called, and the de-
PENDANTS submitted their cases by pleading
guilty-the former being charged with
assault and battery, and the latter with
aiding and abetting an assault and carry
ing a pistol. Patterson was fined $50 and
S.eale 500. They then gave notice that
they would take an appeal, TO which the
Court objected, on the ground that, having
submitted their case, they could not aP-
peal.
We understand that at a late hour last
evening, Patterson and Steele were taking
steps to have a mandamus served on Judge
Duling in order to compel him to grant the
desired appeal,

County Democratic Convention, TO hold
primary election on the 18th Of July Tor the
purpose of electing delegates to nominate

ton and convention passed off quietly and
fairly; and the Democratic party OF this

NASHVILLE, July 81, lS74.-The follow
ing letter signed by three respectable citi-
zens was received by me to-day, andI avail
myself of your columns, for an answer.
How such an absurd rumOr could have got
afloat is beyond my comprehension and
here state that the subject referred TO has
never even been mentioned at the meet
ings of the Executive Committee, nor at
the meeting of the subcommittee on
Saturday last. When it is remembered
that on the Executive Committee there are
TWO native Irishmen and one German, and
that there is one Irishman among the nOm-
inees. that all four of these gentlemen were
with us in all our meetings, that the most
perfect harmony exists III the committee
and that there has never been any discOrd
ailong us, such a statement as this one is
simply ridiculous. These facts furnish the
most complete answer that can be made to
the letter. If needed, l will cheerfuhy
furnish the names Of the gentlemen who
add. essed me this letter.

and electing to Office only native AmeTi-
cans, if such has been your action, We

the case, then Mr.. Jeup, in seeking to preiu
dice the foreign against the native citizens
is guilty of a gruss outrage, and steps
