Editor Herald:
Our last letter from Sebree City
since which time our movements has
been only slow. Leaving Sebree our
next stopping point was Roberts Station.
Found our old friend, II. :. Tnplett,
looking as though few years more and
then the bone-yard. Several new build
ings have been built here lately. Came
on to Henderson, and would have taken
the early boat, but found an excursion
of the American citizens, of African
descent, for Evansville, so waited next
trip and found that | had missed it by
waiting, as Africa was out i'm full blast,
and so | was on board with all the beau
ty of HendersOn's colOred folks. Arrived
at Unconstitutional the city as usual,
full of business, and strangers coming
in to attend the Editorial Convention,
which proved to be a huge affair. We
looked for you, but did not get glimpse
of your pleasant countenance. Now,
boys, | leave this evening for Arkansas
and Missouri, and hope to give you some
items that may interest your numerous
readers. Our old friend, G. w. Ander-
son, formerly of Livermore, has taken
charge of the old st. Cloud hotel, which
has been thoroughly repaired, and Geo.
don't know ANYBODY up Green river.
Oh! no, but says for his numerous
friends to give him call and he will
guarantee to feed them all right. We
know George, and vouch for what he
says. More anon. w. I'll. II.

The Difference.

Barksdale killed Dixon i'm Yazoo city,
Mississippi, because he tradueed the
fair name of his sisters. The Radical
Republican papers characterize il as a
brutal Southern outrage and rebel-dem-
ocratic-kuklux murder because Banks
dale was Democrat and Dixon was an
Independent. DE Young, Republican
shoots Kalloch, working-man's can
didate, in San Francisco, California, for
traducing his mother, and these same
Radical Republican papers say that
Kalloch was a scoundrel and ought to
have been shot.
1t makes great difference i'm the To-
cation of quite similar events rs to the
import or character given them by these
Radical Republican sheets.

The claim of the Republicans of Ohio
that they will carry the State by a sweep
ing majority is all moOnshine. They
have performed no such work within
the past six years. In 1873 they We're
beaten for Governor by William Allen
In 1875 Hayes majority was only $500
votes. In 1876 it nearly broke their
backs to elect their Presidential electors
by six or seven thousand majority, in a
poll of nearly seven hrndred thousand
votes. InlS77 theDemocrats elected their
Governor by q, 000majority. In 1873 the
Republicans elected their candidate for
Secretary of State by n plurality of
5000 votes, but the Democrats carried
both branches of the Legislature, and by
combining the Greenback with the
Democratic vote the Republicans were
left i'm a minority of thirty-five thou
sand. These are the facts, and they
give but little cause for Republican
boasting and bragging.-C OuTier-.JOH7'-

Judge Trimble Disappears.

Considerable uneasiness has been felt
by the relatives and friends of Judge l..
:. Trimble during the past ten days,
owing to his unaccountable absence
from home. BY arrangement he was
to have been in this city on Wednesday,
the 10th inst, to attend to some legal
business. On that morning he ordered
his hostler to hitch up his horse, and u
short time afterward he mounted an
other horse and rode off i'm an opposite
direction. The horse and buggy We're
kept standing for him nearly all day,
but he did not return and has not been
at home since. His friends traced him
as far as Metropolis, but further than
that they could gain no information of
him. He left no message as to any in
tended journey, and his relatives are
naturally very uneasy about him, as
they know of no cause of his leaving
home.-R tducdh Nelcs.

What the Legislature Should do.

A question of vital importance which
should engross the attention of the
next General Assembly is the peniten-
tiary. 1t is imperatively necessary that
something should be done i'm order to
accommodate convicts-they are hui
man and ought to receive more atten-
ton than hogs. If the penitentiary
can not be enlarged so as to accommO-
date her inmates in "a decent way, then
a branch should be built at some good
healthy point, and portion of the in
mates of that "hog pen" removed to il.
The objection to build branch seems
to be the cost. Now, how is the ques-
ton to be solved? Why, very easily.
The way to solve that question is to re-
duce the salaries of State officials-re-
duce the salaries of the pages i'm the
House and Senate from 81 80 tn 81 80
per day to seventy-five cents to one dol
lar-reduce the salaries of the clerks
and other high priced officials, and it
will be seen that the amount thus saved
will he quite an item toward the cree
ton of a branch penitentiary, or ell
larging the one we now have.
Some use the argument good men
would not offer for office if the salaries
were cut down, but this Is all gas; who
would not be glad to be Auditor of the
State of Kentucky at salary one
fourth less than it now pays? There is
not an office-seeker in the State who
would not gladly accept it, and there
are other salaries that could becut down
equally rs much, and still the positions
would be sought by good men.
The time has come when counties
and States, as well as individuals,
should economize, and no action of the
Legislature would be so universally
praised by the people of the State as a
reduction of the salaries of the State Of
ficials and an improvement in our ia
cilities for decently taking care of our
convicts. and the people ought to de
mand the change.-SimpsOn County
Enterprise.
