Gov. Blackburn of Kentucky is
rapidly losing the confidence and
respect of the law~abiding citizens
OF that State, by his reckless abuse
of the pardoning power. In few
weeks, it is stated that he has re-
mitted over $4,000 of fines imposed
upon gamblers; has issued forty
pardons TO men who had been guilty
OF selling liquors 20 minors; has
interfered and pardoned men dur
ing trial; and has released : over
fifty convicts from the penitentiary'
some Of whom have already been
arrested again for violation of lava.

Gen. Grants travels through the
country have been marked by large
crowds. His reception at Chicago,
last week, was of the most enthusi
astic nature. At one of the recep-
tions he made one of the longest
speeches he has made at all, closing
with the following rebuke Of the
sectional animosities exhibited by
many political orators:
We feel and maintain that those who
fought bravely on the opposite side from
us have equal claims with ourselves In
all the blessings of our great and COM
mon country; we claim for them the
right to travel all over this broad land
and select where they please the right
to settle, become citizens and enjoy
their political and religious convictions,
free from mOlestatiOn or ostracism,
either on account of them or the con-
nection with the past. We ask nothing
more for ourselves, and would rejoice
TO see them become powerful rivals in
the development of our great resources,
in the ACQUISITION of all that should be
desired in this life, and in patriotism
and in love of country. [Applausel.

THE NEXT CENSUS.

Gen Walker, the superintendent of
the census, has already in general way
disclosed his plan of operations for next
wear. The United States, for the pur-
poses of classification and enumeration,
will be divided into $50 districts, each
of which will be divided by the super
visors in charge into appropriate emu
meration districts. About 10000 per-
sons will be employed to take the cen
sus, which will have two distinct de-
partments. First, there will be the
enumeration proper, including a count
of the population, with the ordinary
social and vital statistics. The other
general department of the work will
embrace the collection of statistics of
manufactures, agriculture, mining, fish
ing interests and social statistics, such
as taxation, wealth, public Indebtedness,
libraries, churches, schools, newspapers
and so forth. Gen. Walker expects to
complete the work in the single month
of June. Heretofore several months
have elapsed before the census returns
were all made and classified, and the
consequence was that those returns,
overlapping to that extent the period to
which the census was limited, included
returns in the. census then completed
which by right belonged to the present
decade. and will thus make imperfect
to a small extent the comparison be-
tween the figures of the last decade and
that which is now coming to close.

LHPROVsHEET IN sTOCK.

An observant friend remarked in
our hearing the other day that near
ly all the hogs shipped from this
point or slaughtered here this sea-
son have been pure blooded Berk-
shires. This is rather remarkable.
It shows that a long step in the
right direction has been taken in the
right direction by most of our
farmers. a few years since the
scrub stock-the razor back-was
the rule all over this couatry. Now
hogs Of that sort are the exception.
But we write particularly to say that
our farmers ought, by the same
process which has prevailed as to
hogs, to get rid of their scrub cattle
and sheep. A scrub yearling calf
is worth a dollar or two. A yearling
short. horn ten to fifteen dollars. A
common scrub sheep is worth one
or two dollars. A Cotswold or
South-down from four to eight dol.
lars. Yet the scrub calf or common
sheep costs as much as the short
horn or Cotswold. To double, nay
to quadruple, the profits of cattle or
sheep raising in this country, al
that is needed is a little enterprise
and care upon the part of few lead
ing farmers in each neighborhood
The difference really amounts to the
difference between penury on the
one hand and thrift on the other.

We take pleasure in copying the sub
Joined extract from the Whitehall (ll.)
Register, complimentary to Col. w. H.
FuIkersOn and his thoroughbred cattle.
Col F. is an East Tennessean, formerly
of Claiborne county, and has host of
friends and relatives in this section. He
is now residing near JeTseyville, Illinois,
where he has been engaged in farming
and raising thoroughbred stock for a
number of years:
Inquiries are often sent to know
something of Col, FulkersOn's thorough
bred Durham stock, and we know of no
better answer that to refer to the premi-
UNI list of the Greene county fair we
publish this week. 1t will be seen the
Colonies stock took about ali the premi-
ums offered, and his ten head of premi-
UNI stock led round the ring the last day
of the fair was pronounced the best lot
of stock owned by one man ever eXhib-
tied at CarTolltOn. All his animals are
first-class and of the highest strain. OF
course the Colonel has much more stock
Just as good that didn't see the fair, but
we speak of what was shown. The
farm on which this fine stock is bred is
two miles south of Kane, in Jersey
county, the ordinary depot and p. o..
address being Jerseyville. While the
Colonel has princely place, and where
lovers and purchasers of fine cattle Will
always be Hospitality met and entertain
ed. Colonel Fulkerson is now the lead
ing thoroughbred cattle man of this dis
trict, and he has the taste, energy and
capital to sustain his herd and keep 1t
at the very top notch.

THE TRADEMARK DECISION.

The Supreme Court has decided the
trademark law unconstitutional. Gen.
Haine. Commissioner of Patents, being
asked what effect the decision would
have, replied that it would be serious,
and many business interests would suf-
fer. Whether another law could be
found that would cover substantially the
same interests and stand the scrutiny of
the Supreme Court was doubtful. The
Court did not pass upon what might be
done. but they effectually settled what
had been done. The Patent Office will
Immediately suspend the issuance of
trademark privileges, and those which
have been issued are, of course, now of
no avail. a man had as well own can
celed postage-stamp as trademark.
Roing asked if some of these trademarks
thus nullified were not very valuable,
the Commissioner replied that they were,
or at least were so regarded before the
decision. However, the common law
RIGHT in trademarks survives, but the
u. S. statutory provisions are annulled.
There are now over eight thousand trade
marks registered, and two hundred pend
ing for registration. OF course under
this decision all operations under this
head must be suspended. 1t, in effect,
abolishes the Trademark Bureau Of the
Patent Office. This will cut off from
the Patent Office revenues about SAC, 900
yearly.

TO THE PEOPLE OFMORR18T0 WN.

The President of the United States
has appointed Thursday, the 9Th in
slant, as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer. Having been the recipients
of unnumbered blessings during the
past year, it seems eminently proper
that we, as people, in accordance With
the Presidents request, observe that
day as one of thanksgiving and prayer
| would therefore respectfully request
and earnestly recommend that on Thurs
day, the 9th instant, all secular bust
ness be suspended within our corporate
limits, and that appropriate religious
services be held by our pastors, that we
may return thanks to an All-wise Provi-
dence for His unspeakable gifts in the
past, and ask His blessings to rest upon
us in the future.

Meek, who some time ago purchased the
Cunningham mill-property at Carter
Depot for $4,000, took French leave
few days since and departed to the sun
ny chimes of Utah. He had his baggage
checked to Salt Lake City. He took his
wife and children with him, and was ac-

resided at Burk's Garden, Tazewell
county, Va, and when he purchased the
mill-property he paid 81, 500 of the pur-

the remainder. He was indebted to a
number of the citizens of Carter, some
of whom obtained attachments and at
tached some horses, cows and other per-
sonal property left behind with his moth
er-in-law, Mrs. Burk, to whom he had
also sold said property and had the sale
reduced to writing, a circumstance OF

RETIREMENT OF LEGAL Ten
DERS


The Comptroller of the Currency has
steadfastly urged the Retirement of the
outstanding legal tenders. The Comp
trolIer considers now that the great plen-
ty of gold furnishes an additional reason
for the retirement of greenbacks, and he
NAV, in his annual report, give some at
tentfon to the subject. In this sonnec-
ton it is of Importance to state that the
Secretary of the Treasury is believed to
be seriously considering the propriety of
recommending to Congress that law be
passed providing for the retirement and
cancellation of the outstanding legal
tender circulation. Much influence is,
however, being brought to bear on the
Secretary from his own party friends
not TO make such recommendation, as 1t
is contended leading Republicans in
both houses would oppose it, and it
would be unfortunate to have the party
divided on financial issues right on the
eve of prcsid Dental election.
