The Louisville GaIt House.

This excellent hotel, the very best i N
the country, in order to meet the views
Of the travelling community and to keep
pace with the hard times, has reduced
its charges to three dollars per day. The
reputation Of the house is widely known
ard its character Is fully maintained in
every particular, every arrangement be-
ing made for the accommodation OF its
guests, Under the management of Mr..
j. P. johnson it has become deservedly
popular with the travelling public, and
especially with the people Of Memphis
and points further South. In the office,
that prince Of clerks, Mr.. Murphy, at.
tends to the wants and wishes Of his
Southern customers in a manner most
agreeable and pleasing. But few Mem
phians visit Louisville that do not stop at
the Gait House, as there they can feel at
home and enjoy the good things of life.
The Gait House has secured a large
Southern custom, and now it lis the place
where Southern people do most congre.
gate either as permanent or temporary
sojourners.

ID. johnson, of Tyler. We hoped
Mr.. johnson would have cast his
vote for right and justice, regardless
of personal interest Or popularity.
Jonathan Bennett and H.. GOf.-
These gentlemen are, from the Graf
ton District. Mr. Bennett has been
anxious for the reputation of special
guardian of the Treasury, but his
vote shows that when his personal in
terests are concerned, economy is a
secondary matter. Grafton wants the
Capitol.
Moses s. Grantham, of Berkeley
We do not believe that Mr.. Gran
than represents the views of his con-
stituents when he casts his vote for
removal.
We maintain that the question of &C
feasibility has nothing TO do with the
matter, 1t is all ''bosh." When river
transportation is stopped to Charles
ton, it is also stopped to Wheeling,
and river travel is oftener INSTRUCTED
to Wheeling than Charleston. The
railroad transportation to Charleston
is as regular as to Wheeling We
receive Wheeling, Pittsburg and New
York dailies, which come past Charles
ton, or the same day after their pub
lieation that is the best retutaiion
of the cry of inaccessibility. So we
maintain. that this Capitol removal
business, hinges entirely on personal
and private interests, and not on the
interests of the State.
