A Card to the Public.-A Short Post
ponement of the Fifth Gift Concert.-As
manager of the gift concerts given in aid of
the Public Library Of Kentucky, my posi-
ton creates an important trust in behalf of
the Public Library and the tieket-holders
of the fifth gift concert. The Public Ii
brary of Kentucky and the ticket-holders
are jointly interested in the amount of the
drawing. The larger the fund to be dis
tributed in gifts, the greater viii be the
gift awarded to each lucky ticket-hOlder,
and the more the amount realized by the
Library. To have a full drawing is so
manifestly to the interest Of those interest
ed that, rather than have fractional draw
ing on the 30th inst, deem IL due to the
trust confded to me by the tieket-holders
and the Public Library of Kentucky, that a
short pOstponement be made to enable me
to dispose of the unsOld tickets and have a
full drawing. Though the very large
amount now in bank would enable US to
distribute handsome gifts, yet we should
feel disappointed in this our last concert
should we be compelled to make frac-
tional 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 if all the tickets be not sold by
the 3Oth, that We feel strengthened in our
sense of duty to the ticket-holders and the
Public Library 70 make the postponement.
Under the circumstances we have deter
mined, in the interest Of all parties, to post
pone the concert and drawing to Saturday,
Feb. q, 1875, at which time the drawing
will positively take place;iand, as a guaran-
tee 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 off |
at the day now fixed. The past, we feel |
assured, will be sufficient guarantee to all
interested that they will be fairly and hon
estly dealt with. The money paid for
tickets is sacredly preserved against all con-
tingeneies until after the payment of the
gifts, after which the expenses are to be
and the Public Library is to be
paid its profits. THos. E. BRAMLETTE,
Nov. 20, 1874. Agent and Manager.

yesterday by Officer Frazier, on the charge
of vagrancy and committed to the work

you call this free country!
Moses Ridley, cOlOred, who was recently
convicted of grand larceny in Giles county
aud sentenced to eight years Imprisonment,
and who was lodged in Jail here to await
trial before the Supreme Court, was re-
leased on bond of 81 900 yesterday.
John Murphy, realizing the necessity of
having at least one case of regrating the
market in the police court each day, fur
nished a case himself yesterday. The sum
of SIS, fined the matter up with the
court.
Raymond Young, colored, arrested on
the charge of stealing pair of pants from
L. Rosenheim, was committed to the
county wOrk-hOuse yesterday by Justice
Everett, to await trial before the Criminal
Court.
George g. Foster, the cOlored individual
who amused himself Saturday afternoon,
and whiled away few leisure moments
with kicking in the face a deformed man
who makes living by grinding out music
at the street corners, has a job which will
keep him employed for over two months.
Judge Duling gave 1t to him yesterday.
Sergeant, here's man drunk and dis
orderly on the street." explained officer
Head, as he escorted Philip Bliss into the
police station yesterday afternoon. De-
posting at the station ninety-five cents,
two knives, a pair of gloves, a spool of
thread and dime novel, Philip was sent
down to the WOrkhOuse to sober up.

age.
Lewis Mullen, eolored, was taken be-
fore Justice Creighton yesterday, on the |
charge of stealing three geese from Lydia |
McKissaek, colored. The prosecutor was
taxed with the costs, and the defendant |
discharged. This suit furnished good IL |
lustration of what the poet said, or might |
have said, with regard to the mighty con-
tests arising from trivial things. About |
thirteen witnesses were examined on either /
side, and two of our well-known attorneys
were engaged in the case. The investiga-
ton occupied considerable time, and at its
conclusion the counsel for both parties
made lengthy and able speeches.
On the 10Th Of last October two men
went to the Franklin House, and one of
them registered their names as r. NJ. Nc
Farland and James Farrell. A short time
Farrell was arrested for some Of
fence, when he claimed that his name was

Although the Nashville Commandery
did not win that five hundred dollar silver
service offered by the Louisiana Jockey
Club, they won the good will of the New
Orleans people, and covered themselves
with glory by their fine bearing on parade
and skilful evOlutions performed in march
ing through the street. As for their
banner (Which was painted by
Mr.. a. johnson, of this city,) it
"laid over" all the others, and was univer-
sally voted the handsomest banner ever
seen in New Orleans. As our boys marched
through the streets, in procession with the
other Communicates, they were greeted
with round after round of applause, while
the ladies presented them with magnificent
bouquets, baskets Of oranges and other teS-
timOnials.

occasion of their temperance in, this city.
Their engagement here last winter was a
very successful one, the performances Civ
ing entire satisfaction to the large audiences
witnessing them, and at once establishing
the company in the good graces of cur
citizens. The troupe is composed ofmGteriel
much superior 10 that OfmOst of the theatre

war, and eminently deserve the success
which attends them. The play of Divorce
was presented last night in an unexcep-
tiOnable manner, the interest being sus-
tanned throughout. Tonight, sled

Der preserved seats have been sold already,
the attendance will doubtless be as large
as it was last night.

Gent 20 supply IheAr WANTS
Pursuant to notice a meeting OF the
Robertson Association was held last night
at the hall of the City Council, to meet
the gentlemen who were appointed on the
committees of the different wards.
President Lindsey occupied the chair and
the Secretary, Mr.. Brennan, read his re-
port. Capt. Stockell read the records of
the past months relief, showing conclu-
sively that the appropriation made by the
city was inadequate to the present emer-
gencies. The present plan was conceived
by Mayor Howell, as a saving measure, and
may prove TO be so if properly handled.
The men who met last night mean bust
ness, and are Intimately acquainted with
the wants of the suffering poor of the city.
After long list Of charity cases were re-
ported, and much interchange of opinion
as to what to do and how 10 do it, a resolu-
ton was adopted stating that the appropri
alton Of funds made by the city for charity
purposes was insufficient to meet the pres
ent demand. 1t was decided to send a
copy Of the resolution to the Mayor.
The Association then adjourned, to meet
at the same place Monday, the 2lst inst.

about fifteen of them gave Conservative
maiorities. 1t is now believed that the
Board will promulgate returns from other

With quorum in both Houses, the Board
willIthen refer the contested parishes to the
