LOUISVILLE, October S0.-Extensive ar
rangements are being made in this city
for the reception of General Grant, who
is expected to visit Louisville during the
latter part Of next month. Regarding the
matter the Courier.Jounal says: General
Grant telegraphs responsive to the May
or's invitation, in which he says in a
hearty informal way, that he does not
know when he will go East, but when he
does he will drop on Louisville. It is sui
ficient to say at the present moment, we
shall all welcome General Grant; that,
politics aside, there is not man, woman,
glad to extend him an old.fashioned, cor
dial greeting.

CINCINNATI, October SO.-Colonel Sid.
ney D. Maxwell, Superintendent Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, in his forthcoming
report for the year ending September LIST,
shows that the receipts of coal at Cinciu-
natl are less the past year than for any
previous year since 1S7l-'72. This is at.
tributable, first, TO the disturbance among
the Pittsburgh miners early in the year;
and, secondly, TO the low stage OF the Ohio
river since August. 0fthe receipts during
the year OILS per cent Of the whole are by
river, and only S.5 per cent by rail, show.
ing the comparative ihcapacity Of the rail.
roads to supply the demand. There have
been increases in the supply from Ohio

regions, the latter coal being unusually
cheap. There Is also a marked increase
in the demand for crushed gas house coke,
both for manufacturing and domestic pur.
poses, Shipments from Cincinnati TO in.
terror points have been the largest in the
history OF the city, aggregating $500, ,00C

THE LOUISIANA CAMPAIGN.
The Proposition to Send Northern Repub.
Iicans TO Assist In the Campaign In That


The Proposition TO Send Northern Repub'
licans TO Assist In the Campaign In That
state.
WASHINGTON, October 29.-The proposi.
ton to send number of the most proml-
neut Republican speakers into Louisiana
during the December campaign is receiv-
ing much attention. The President is
earnest in his support of this plan to aid
the Southern Republicans to reorganize
the party in that State and to help in Sc.
curing full vote. He looks upon It as the
most practical way Of Strengthening the
Southern Republicans under the circum.
stances which surround them. He thinks
that our prominent public men could go
through all sections ot the State with safety,
and that their presence would also make
Republican reorganization possible in all
the districts. II there Is anything like
free vote tho Republicans will carry the
State.
Owing to the fact that under the consti.
tuition to be submitted the Legislature to
be elected can appoint the Electors for
President, the contest really involves the
political character OF eight votes for Presi-
dent, This feature will fix the attention OF
the whole country upon this election.
For this reason it is held by the President
and prominent Republicans that 1t will be
Of vast Importance to have the campaign
in Louisiana watched as carefully and con-
tested as sharply on the stump as were
those OF Ohio and Maine.
Such aid and close observation would
place all the acts OF the campaign in Lou
isiana before the North more fully than
any of the late Southern campaigns have
been. II fraud and violence were prac.
tlced the North would be able to learn all
the facts from men whose evidence would
be accepted.
1t seems certain now that large force
Of Northern speakers will give their SER
vices in response to the request Of the
Louisiana State Republican Committee.

Az item in our New York dispatches
this morning says the rise in real estate in
that city since March last has been equal
10 % per cent. This is certainly pretty
big boom for the time, but we must re.
member that real estate in cities has been
unnatually depressed for long time by
loreclosing sales, aud hence, when the
pressure is lifted, the tendency is very
decidedly upward. Real estate through
out the country always brings up the rear
alter a reaction from panic, and it is
therefore not likely that the boom now in
progress will set 1t moving very rapidly
before next spring. There are, however,
uunistakeable symptoms that the coming
rise has commenced. Such arrivals Of
coin as are announced in this mornings
news, together with the announcement OF
40 increase of 100000 in the National |
bank circulation for this month, can hard.
" fail to boom values OF every kind.

THE announcement in our advertising
columns that the P. W. & KY. Railroad
Company will SO soon again pay another
six months Of interest arrearage to its
bondhOlders, is, we presume, an agreeable
surprise to many Of them, inasmuch as it
was understood sometime ago that the In
terest would only be paid every four
months until arrears were paid up. The
last payment was announced on septem-
Der 10th, and now comes another on No
vember lst, in less than two months. 1t
is an indication that the road Is doing we'll
even better than was anticipated. As
We announced few days ago, It's increased
earnings for the last week Of September
we're s2,l65 81 over the corresponding
week Of last year, and the increase for the
whole month was s2,700 80. This in
crease was at the rate OF s99,5l2 80
per year, and would Of itself, if
kept up, pay over 10 per cent per annum
on the 100000 Of bonds outstanding. The
rapid payment OF interest, and the in
creased earnings OF the road, should Ger.
tainly impart some value to the stock.
Ohio county owns $4,000 Of the bonds
and 1900 shares Of the stock Of the road.
Her portion Of the six months in
terest will be sl.75O, which nets her
800 OF clear profit over and above the
six months interest she provides on the
$4,000 for which she is liable on account
Of her subscription to this $4,000 of P.
W. ( Ky. bonds.
All the interest on the railroad bonds is
now paid up to May LIST last, and we pre-
sumo the interest due for the six months
ending November LIST, will be paid about
the irst OF January. This is certainly a
very gratifying condition OF affairs.
