j. "a. Powell.


Col. j. III. Powell lecturcd at Lin
coin Opcra House last night on Gap
pcarances and Realities" The lecture
consists mainly of anecdote, Jest and
defamation. the object of which is to
show the difference between that which
is simply appearance, or varnish, and
that which is real. The Colonel is
very happy in power of telling a joke
or getting off a pun so as to bring the
house down, and was often cheered by
his audience. His delineations of the
sister-in-law, the quack in medicine
and the demagogue in politics, were
very good. He is a great speaker, but
more of an actor than an orator, and
his recitation of the rum maniac was
rendered with effective power. He is
brimful of humor and pathos, speaks
right along, and keeps his audience
wide awake aud in good cheer.-Dan-
vile, Ill. News.
The Times of the same city, says:
The eminent Kentuckian, Hon. j.
III. Powell, is conceded to be one of
the most serious, funny, pathetic and
eloquent orators in the Union. He
frily sustained this reputation at the
Opera House last evening.

though men of a rousher form may make
their way through them without feeling
much, extremely incommode persons OF

through life, and make their travelling
irksome and unpleasant.

lowing preamble and resolutions we're

Whereas, it is the opinion Of a large
majority Of our people that a large
number Of said State bonds were issued
in violation Of law, and that the holders
thereof through their efforts and inAu.
enecs broughtto bear by the use Of money
and otherwise, have procured the passage
OF the funding act Of 1873. whereby it
has been rendered impossible to distin-
guish between said fraudulent bonds and
those that we're legally issued; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
people Of Lauderdale county hat sixty
cents in the dollar is not a reasonable
compromise of a debt which is Of such
doubtful moral, if not legal obligation
and that we do hereby request Senator
RsPlaud and our representative to vote
against the acceptance of said PROPOSE
ton, and TO use every influence they pos.
sess to defeat the same.
Resolved, That we further instruct our
senator and representative to vote
against any proposition to compromise
our State debt.
