said that he deemed the Convention very for.
tunute in being able to meet at the capitnl OF
the Ancient Dominion, whose great men in
the olden time had done more than any
others to lay the foundations of the liberty,
constitutional government. and permanent
prosperity and happiness, of this great coun"
try. He rejoiced that In this onto Rich
mond" of representatives Of every section
of the country they had not been "Wel-
coined with bloody hands to hospitable
graves" but had instead received the cor
dial greeting and graceful welcome Of the
Mayor of this beautiful city.
He rejoieed in this opportunity OF having
tie representatives of widely-separated sec
tions mingle together in familiar, social IN
tercourse, for he was persuaded that just IN
proportion as they came to kaao,o eaeh other
better they will be sure to IKE each other

which are re-exported without added
value, and 90 leave but little more profit
than factorage upon their sale and ship
ment. New Orleans exports more values
foreign than Cincinnati, and yet Cincin-
natl, by her industry, supports q larger
population than New Orleans and in
creases in both numbers and wealth.
The increasing importance of her manu-
features should, however, induce Cincin-
natl to turn her attention to the port OF
New Orleans as furnishing the best outlet
for sending those goods TO foreign mar
ket. Texas, Mexico and the countries on
this continent south of the United States
would offer a good demand for the manu-
features of iron, wood and leather, with
the candles, oils, clothing, furniture,
spirituous liquors and beer which Cincin-
natl produces in such abundance. Let
Cincinnati unite with New Orleans in pro-
viding adequate facilities for this coast
wise and continental commerce. and also
for removing any diplomatic obstacle
which may exist 10 its development, and
again New Orleans and Gin cinnati will be
united in the political and commercial
development Of Western trade with the
tropics: trade. perhaps, even more
profitable to both than that which they
formerly conducted SO much to their mu-
tual advantage.

"a friend had left Winchester rifle in
the house for safe keeping, and the young
man lost his life by ignorantly handling
the lock. with the working Of which he
was evidently not acquainted" Such is
the explanation given Of very melan.
choly accident which occurred last week.
There is no explanation given why it was
necessary for that friend to hide his prop
erty. if it really We're his, in another
mans house. If the depositor were not
the owner. then he has incurred an addi-
ticnal responsibility. If it should prove
that the fatal weapon actually belongs in
the State armory. it will be seen that the
''f,iend" wished to put upon some one
else the peril Of detection.
There is q great deal Of unnecessary
concealment about this whole transac.
ton. more especially concerning the own
ership Of that gun. and how it came to
be left in the house Of gentleman who
was not its owner. How many more
Winchester rifles are there lying perd,: in
the city. awaiting but the careless touch
to bring death and mourning into happy
households? It strikes us the recent
tragedy is ono OF the natural sequeis Of
the ''ever glorious fourteenth of Septem-
ber," when half hundred men were
killed and thrice that number wounded.
md all for nothing.

~ manager Of the gift concerts given in sid Of
the Public Library Of Kentucky my position Gre
ates an impo, tant trust in behalf Of the Public Ii
brary and the ticket holders Of the fifth gift con-
cert The Public Library Of Kentucky and the
ticket holders are jointly interested in the amount
Of the drawing. The larger the fund 10 be dis
tributed in gifts the greater will be the gift award
ed to each lucky ticket holder. and the more the
amount realized by the library. To have . full
drawing is manfesly to the interest ofthose H.
terested that. rather than have fractional draw
ing the thrr ieth instant, deem it due to the
trust confded to me by the ticket holders and the
Public Library of Kentucky, that short post
ponement be made to enable me to dispose Of the
unsold tickets and have full drawing Though
the very large amount now in bank would enable
us to distribute handsome gifts. yet We should feel
disappointed in this eur last concert should We be
compelled to make fractional drawing. however
large.
We have received 80 very large number Of lev
tiers from all parts of the country from those most
largely interested. urging . postponement If all
tho tickets be not sold by the thirtieth. that we
feel strengthened In our sense Of duty to the
ticket holders and the Public Library TO make the
psstponement. Under the circumstances we have
determined. In thu interest OF all parties to post
pone the concert and drawing to SATURDAY. Feb
suary n. 1875, ut which time the drawing Will
positively take place, and. as guarantees OF good
faith toward ticket holders. we pledge ourselves
to refund to any ticket holder his money, upon
presentation of his ticket should the drawing fail
to come of at the day now fixed. The past. we
feel assured. will be sufficient guarantee to all
interested that they will DO fairly and honestly
dealt with. The money paid for tickets is eacredly
preserved against all contingencies until after the

THE FIRST KNOCKDOWN.

Mr.. Leeds appears to us to be decidedly
out of place in the City Hall. He stands
US the champion of the delinquent tax
payers and tax resisters without single
Administrator to back him up or act as
his second. The gentlemen with whom
he is associated construe their oath of
Office to mean something. There is work
to be done. There are duties to be per-
formed. One of these duties, the chief
perhaps, is to stir up careless people who,
like the worthy Mayor himself, have not
had time to call on the Finance Department
for their tax receipts. But as this is ques-
ton which belongs to Mr.. Pilsbury, We
leave it. Perhaps there was no thought
of special case when the ordinance No.
1928. passed by the Wilt administration.
was re-enacted by the present. Be that as
it may. Mr.. Leeds interposed mis- veto. and
the Council. by unanimous vote. vetoed
him.
There is little doubt that sworn tax
resister would find plausible reasons from
now to the day of judgment why people
who do not wish to pay taxes should not
be forced to do SO. yet there is severe
sort of American logic which says that
man who will not pay for thing shall
not keep it. If man is too poor in
purse or mean in spirit to pay the pro.
portionate share OF the public burden
assessed upon his property. the general
public will say he deserves to lose it. Let
it pass into stronger hands, and the late.
would-be nabob can join the peasantry
until he learns thrift and honesty. But
these are rather severe doctrines and We
are glad to know that little sentiment
is sometimes permitted to step in and
save even the undeserving from the con-
sequences Of their own inertness.
But it is not for the chief magistrate of
this city to stand between the law and the
great army OF delinquents. ond we are
heartily glad the Administrators have had
the bravery to show him his proper place.
He will find the REPUBLICAN described
him pretty accurately the other day as
very high priced political nouentity. with.
out even so much as vote in the Coun.
Gil.
If Mr.. Leeds could show us that the
people who have refused to pay their
taxes are poorer than those who have. we
might have little sympathy for him.
But We believe the reverse is the case.
and hold that those who can pay and will
not should be compelled to do it. The
Council seems to be unanimously Of this
opinion. Forward the sheriff's brigade!

CINCINNATI AND NEW ORLEANS.

The change in the trade relations Of
Cincinnati and New Orleans. illustrate
most fcrcibly the effect Of railroads upon
water carriage. Formerly. while Cincin-
cinnati might import costly goods from
the East by way Of the Ohio river. she
could not possibly have exported her own
productions South except by means OF
the Mississippi. and through the distrib-
uting agency Of New Orleans. There
were firms here to whom whole steamboat
loads of Western provisions have been
consigned. There were houses here which
have sold more than million Of pounds
Of hog product in one day. But this
trade. so far as it is now due to the plan.
tation States. is sent by straight rail.
while the export Of Western provisions to
Eastern markets has deserted the Missis.
sippi. and now pursues the railroad direct
to the Atlantic coast.
The immense growth Of the Cincinnati;
trade with the diminution of our business
intercourse with that great city is obvious
from a contrast Of few figures. The
impofts Of Cincinnati were s3S1.777. 055.
her exports we're 1921, 536.s52. The com.
merce Of New Orleans may be roughly
stated at $50. 600. 900 imports and $780,
600. 900 exports. The character Of these
receipts and exports are very different
Cincinnati imports raw material, food
and fuel for manufactures, As we'll as for
export: New Orleans imports chiefly such
products ~ cottons sugar aud tobacco.

or some other paper Of bad political char
acter, when it straightway dances out in
war paint and feathers, brandishes its
tomahawk at the REPUBLICAN and tells us
another fourteenth of September is at
hand. The next day our neighbor picks
up the Presidents message and reads the
following:
Violence has been rampant in some local
tiles, and has either been justified or denied
by those who could have prevented it.
The theory is even raised that there is to
be no further interference on the part OF
the general government to protect citizens
in State where the State authorities fail
to give protection. This ia great mistake.
While remain executive, all the laws of
Congress and the provisions of the cOnsti-
tuition, including the recent amendments
added thereto, will be enforced with rigor.
1t is then Immediately discovered that
none but constitutional and legal rem
edies are to be invoked, and all reports to
the contrary are foolish stories which
have been telegraphed to Northern papers
for political effect.
IF either the Picayune or the Bulletin
has made all allusion 20 the Returning
Board that did not contain threat Of
violence it has escaped our vigilance.
These enterprising journals have tabu-
lated the election returns upon data OBJ
tanned from Tom, Dick and Harry, and
have given the Returning Board the
option 70 accept them unquestioned or
suffer the consequences. Fortunately,
little or no attention has been paid to the
mischief Makers and now that the Presi-
dent has again spoken more emphatically
than ever, it may be doubted whether the
way is thought to be SO open to another
fourteenth of September as it appeared to
be q few days ago. The vaporings and
threats with which We have been RECALLED
for month OF two are now declared to be
fimsy fctions, invented for mere partisan
purposes. Perhaps they are such. and
will be so IS long as an adequate force is
present 10 punish any attempt to make
them realities. But We know we'll who
to thank for protection, and are not de-
ceived by an excessive profession Of at
tachment to the law.

WHAT A CHEEK!

The New York World Is the greatest
snapper up Of unconsidered triAes" since
the days of kutolycus. There is no polit-
ical goods lost that may not be found in
the ragbag Of the World. It is as capa.
cious and its contents are as incongrous as
those of the pocket of school boy or the
nav of shark. The World with an area
CT cheek that would surpass that Of a
buffalo says:
The World can congratulate the Demo
Gratis OF the United States upon . victory
won.
The economic issues Of the new De-
mocracy are thus stated:
I. The currency. 9. Tho tariff. ;. The
centralizing and usurpiDg by the federal
administration of powers distributed by
the constitution to the States or reserved by
the people.
And the war cry Of the new Democracy
is
Hard money, free trade and home rule.
The World thinks the American public
as ignorant as under the primeval delu-
sions Of Democracy. Hard money. How
would that suit August Belmont. or
Richard Schell. or any other Democratic
bankers and brokers'? How would it
please the initiation Democrats of the
West: Free trade. What palatable
doctrine for the Pennsylvania Democracy:
Home rule. This will square very well
with the political orders from the Demo-
cractic Central Committee at Washington
to Southern Democrats, commanding them
to support Horace Greeley. the tariffite.
and Frank Blair, the commander Of one
of the first colored regiments ever organ
ICED at the South.
The claims Of the World are expansive.
but when it comes to discount all the
Democracy which will vote for hard
money. free trade. and against the con-
struction of public improvements with
federal money. it may hold a caucus of all
these indomitable old Romans on the head
Of sugar hogshead. The World dares
to trifle with the name Of Jefferson as the
patron Of this new Democracy. Jefferson
without free schools. Jefferson without
abolition, Jefferson without care or
thought for the people except to
fleece them out of their votes
this is the Democracy Of the World.
and It will find precious little OF its pro.
fessed doctrines among the members OF
Congress elect. When these members
come to define their real position the
World will be compe lied. like the clown
in the pantomime. to disgorge all this mis-
cellaneous political trash that it has tilched
and claimed and hidden. It " i'll be very
doieful World. It will be a profane and
wicked World. and it will not find 50. 900
volunteer Democrats, nor even 800. to aid
in multiplying the readers and thus en-.
larging the influence Of the Democratic
press"
