A New York paper says: "Ken-

taking headline commonly placed above
the following item by our esteemed Re
publican contemporaries, which are
giving it wide circulation: "Sinee
1870 there have been over 100 persons
killed in Christian county, and but one
of the slayers, Bill Downey, a negro,
has been sent to the penitentiary or
otherwise punished. Truly, Christian
is one of the bloodiest spots ON the
dark and bloody ground What she
needs is a few first-class hangings-
There have been nine men killed in the
county since the LIST of August, and not
one of the murderers Is in Jail" This
is, indeed, a melancholy exhibit for u
county hearing such a name But
when we reflect that Christian county
last year gave Evans, Republican, $50
majority over Blackburn, Democrat, for
Governor; that Christian county, I'm
1876, gave Hayes q majority of go over
Tilden that in 1875, for Governor, il
went Republican by 207, and that in
1872 il gave Grant $40 over Greeley-in
fine, when we reflect that Christian
county gave the Republican nominee
for Governor of Kentucky last year
larger majority than he received in any
one single county m~ the State, and
therefore is entitled to be called the boa-

we can see why Republican papers
should go to the trouble Of dilating up

As this is the first from this city, it
may not he amiss TO give a few words
relative to the rise, progress, growth,
developments, resources, prospects,

the many branches of industry carried
on in our city, but will not, for fear of
encroaching on your valuable space.
The main portion of the extensive
business carried on in our place seems
TO be in the nOndescript article which
your New Baymus correspondent calls
''tanglefoot." We notice scores of men
and boys going, coming, passing and re-
passing with their jugs, mugs, and bot
ties some of them "the best men i'm
the State of Kentucky, and can whip
any man that ever saw daylight in any
country" We've never tried any of the
boys, but imagine they are not so near
ly invincible as they profess to be. We
started to tell something about the city,
but branched off on something else.
Messrs. Kahn K Co., have an inn
mense stock of dry goods, groceries and
everything kept in first-class whole

the very best in the State, that is, we
suppose they might, as they have never
had very great opportunity Of trying
their capacity, etc.
