THE Herald seeks to shield Ex-
City Clerk Kitton, against the just
charge of deliberate lawlessnes, by
pleading technicalities. The jour-
nal in question alleges that Kitton
removed the ballot boxes out of his
Office, where the law directed them
to be kept, at the instance o gentle-
men appointed to recount the bal
lots. Now We deny first, that any
body was appointed to recount the
ballots, and second that Mr.. Kitton
acted at anybody's instance except
by the request of Mr.. Johnson. The
testimony i'm this case will bear US
out i'm these assertions.
Mr.. Kitton was simply cited as a
witness. Mr.. Johnson's attorney
put the question TO him, whether he
would produce the ballot boxes, and
he promptly replied he would. Mr..
Banners counsel objected and
pointed out the law, and Kitton
insisted upon taking the law
into his own hands. And now We
would be pleased to have the Herald,
Mr.. Kitton's champion, to answer
a few questions: Why did Mr..
Kitton exhibit such extraordinary
anxiety to produce those ballot
boxes i'm spite of the legal objections?
Why was he excited when he
opened the first box? and what
made his hands tremble like
those of an Octogenarian when he
commenced TO handle the contents?
Why was Mr.. Kitton s. excited all
day yesterday, and what made him
act so.queer during the Council pro-
ceedings last evening? Did he have
to stimulate his nerves to keep up
his part of the performance and
what could have produced such a
change on him that many persons
who witnessed his actions at the
organization Of the new Council ex-
pressed suspicious that he had lost
his head.
Assuming that Mr.. Kitton had a
right TO hold the keys of the Clerks
Office after his successor had been
dulyqualified, whydidhe assume that
he could keep personal control over
the ballot boxes until after the slow
process of investigation and recount
was over? Assuming that Mr.. Kit
ton acted wisely and properly i'm
sealing the key holes Of the ballot |
boxes and stationing a policeman
In front of his office door to
prevent his successor from
tampering with the ballots, why did
he not take similar precautions i'm
mediately after the ballots came into
his owl possession Does not the
peculiar discrepancy i'm the second
ward count look as if somebody had
been tampering with those ballots
while Mr.. Kitton had charge of
them, and does not his conduct give
some semhlance of suspicion that he
has taken more than a passing inter-
est in thefinal decision of this matter?

POSTPONEMENT.
Fourth Gift Concert
of Public Library of Kentucky
A Gard to the Public.

| The Trustees of the Public Library of Ken
lucky and the management of the Gin Con
cert announce the postponement of tht
Fourth Gift Concert until Tuesday, the Bis
of March next.
The pablic will readily understand the
causes which have made this postponement
necessary.
The financial panic, which has for the
last two months paraIyzed the business o.
every section of this country and of Europe
has prevented thousands from investing in
tickets. The epidemics pervading almost
the entire South have cut off a large and
available market. And, too, the public
Judging from the efforts of these causes have
expected a pOstponement and have decIin-
ed to invest without more positive HSsur-
ance ofthe drawing taking place on fixed
day.
All interested desire a full drawing, but
for the reason just stated this could not be
had on the Sd of December, but the short
postponement now announced will secure
it.
The management has met with unprece-
dented success. The sales of tickets, the
proceeds of which have already been receiv-
ed, amount to over a MILLION DOLLARS,
with a number of agencies in this country
yet TO hear from, and all others i'll Europe.
Thus a drawing Scaling the gifts one
half could be had now, but the manage
ment deem it best to have a postponement
and a full DRAGGING
This pOstponement assures the sqie Of all the
tickets and A FULL DRAWING. That this
determination will meet with the approba-
ton of nearly every one interested is made
apparent by the very numerous letters re-
ceived from every section of this country
and the Cansdas asking for postpone
ment.
This action of the management Will work
no detriment &c any but viii be for the good
of all. BY 1t the fortunate tlcket-holder
will receive their gifts in fill while 1t will
not effect those who do not draw gifts.
In making this announcement the man
agement enphatically state Hatthere shall be no
further postpoRement, and to this end all agents
will be imperatively required to close up
and transmit their accounts to this Office by
the 2Ist of March.
