How 20 Win.

II the Democrats are DESTROYS of win
ming the next Presidential election, they
should have their Senators and Repre-
sontativesin Congress agitate the tar
Isl qU >tion. The Democrats favor "a re-
duc.io Of tariff, and the Republicans
are opposed To it. The masses of peo-
pie are for very low tariff, and the
Democrats in Congress can bring that
question Ia the front and win on il next
fall. They have already been moving
that way. The committee on ways
and Means" have voted To reduce the
tariff on steel rails from y To $l4. The
vote stood, eight for it, ali Democrats !;
five opposed, all Republicans. The peo-
pie are for Il low tariff, or none at all.
An evidence of this is the popularity Of
Jim McKenzie's "Quinine Bill"

Remarkable Law Suit.

The Green-Hargis law suit now on
trial at Louisville, from the way il
starts off, bids fair to be a most remark
able case The defendant is sued be-
cause he would not bring Islander
suit. Ii was brought in county where
defendant neither resided nor was served
with process. The law requires a short
specific statement Of case to the jury
before the testimony is begun. 1t took
three days to state this case. 5000 pages
of dispositions are to be read, besides the
oral testimony, and then from to Is
lawyers on side, are 10 argue it. We
hope they will get through in time for
the November election TO he held in the
court room.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. / 1880.
DEAR SIR:-After returning our
thanks for past favors and wishing you
a prosperous and happy new year, we
take this method to announce to you
and the public, that We have withdrawn
from the tobacco Board of Trade"
and in doing SO, We have not a word to
say against it; it was good institution
i'm ''its day. Recently it has been
guilty of some follies that we did not
approve but protested against, hence we
are involved i'm no vexatiOus and ex-
pensive lawsuits with any of the buy
ers.
The fees for selling tobacco, to both
buyer and seller, may, and perhaps
We're, not too high at the time of their
adoption (soon after the war when
labor, rents, money and in fact every
thing was high, and at a time, too,
when it was almost indispensably nee
essary to employ travelling agents; now
since there has been quite deprecia-
ton i'm value of everything, and espe-
cially since the tobacco market of Lou
isville is so well established and known
to be the leading market for all shades
and grades of tobacco, and there are so
many avenues of information opened
up, and leading to almost every mans
door, acquainting him daily with the
state of the market, etc, We can see no
good reason for continuing the old ex-
pensive custom of employing men to
canvass the country soliciting cOnsign-
ments of tobacco. Therefore We have
concluded to dispense with the services
Of that class of gentlemen above alluded
to, and appropriate their salaries in an
other direction, or, more properly speak
ing, leave it where it legitimately be-
longs, in the pockets of the seller.
We can do this only by reducing our
fees, or by system of rebate, either of
which was violation of the rules of
the BOARD of Trade" Another rule
of the Board is to deduct ten pounds
for samples, this we think is not right,
but like all other rules, members are
bound to respect it, or abide the cOnse-
quences of violation.
We think we have given reasons
enough for withdrawing from the Sin
stitution," together with an Unborn
feeling to conduct our business in our
own way, subject only to the approval
of our own conscience and those for
whom We transact business.
All tobacco received after this day we
will sell at a reduction of 30 cents each
to seller and buyer. Rejection fee will
be Sl.50 instead of $3.50 as heretofore.
We will make no deduction for samples,
instead of 10 lbs. as heretofore.
Soliciting liberal share of your pat
rOnage, we are,
Very Respectfully yours,
GILBERT, HUDSON 4 Co.
Mark your hhds. "Gilbert House."

her Of years, also clerk of Quarterly

Editor Herald:
have contemplated for some time To
give publicity to my humble opinion of
the great good your paper is doing for
our county. lam "A constant reader of the
HERALD, am always glad when Wednes-
day comes to read the news both local
and foreign. IL would seem that | am
very partial to the HERALD. If so,
think il we'll founded. | have the
pleasure of reading a great many of
your exchanges from all parts of the
State (which you 80 kindly give my
husband and | am clearly of the opin-
ion that your paper excels any other
county paper | have read, and fire.
qucntly see extracts from the HERALD
in the leading city papers. ! really do
think that, Notwithstanding the large
circulation ] am informed il has in Ohio
county, the true interest of the people
would be to double and even treble its
circulation in this county, the conse-
quence would be, in my humble opin-
ion, the doubling, and perhaps the treb-
ling o. the prosperity Of the county.
And Messrs. Editors, will you crafty
me to insert in the HERALD the follow
ing extract, copied from the Bible, the
holy book of God:
"They send forth their little ones like
"a flock and their children dance They
"take the timbrel and harp and rejoice
"at the sound of the organ. They spend
"their days i'm wealth and in a moment
"go down to the grave. Therefore they
"say unto God, depart from us tor we
"desire not the knowledge of Thy ways
"What is the Almighty that we should
"serve him? and what profit should We
''have if we pray unto him." In conclu.
sion you see ! quote two lines from
Burns to his young friend:
Perhaps II may turn out song,
Perhaps n sermon.

The health of this community is very
good with the exception of Mrs. {. X.

The prospect fo- a good wheat crop, to
the extent of our travels, is quite en-
couraging to say the least Of it. The
breadth sown last fall isperhaps from 20
to 80 per cent. greater than was sown
the year previous.
Some of the tobacco growers have
already sown large seed-beds (for the
growing of tobacco plants and from
what We can learn, there will he a strong
effort put forth for good tobacco crop.
We say good because we mean it, for
our tobacco growers are beginning to
learn that there is something i'm quality
as well as quantity.
New Baymus is always up with the
times. There is formed at that place a
debating society that meets regularly
once a week. While none of our speak
ers have yet attained to the perfection
of Webster, Clay, or CaihOOn, yet there
is some good speeches made on almost
every occasion, and We are sure that it
will lead to profound thought and much
research, and consequently to the inn
prOvement of the minds of our youths.
At the last meeting speeches We're made
by John A. Bennett, Thos. j. Barrett,
X. G.. Wedding, &. X. Bean, and many
younger men. The attendance of such
men insures the success of the society;
and by the way while speaking of New
Baymus we will venture two to one
that some Of her representatives are
awarded some of your gold premiums
at your prospective HERALD fair.

OHIO county regulators" whipped

from the effects the next day. They
also whipped one Flenor, carried him to
Green river, told him to cross and new

left at the doors of several houses and
notices to the parties to leave. And
this is free State! Perhaps the Legis-

A CONSTIPATDD HABIT

Is quite difficult to cure. if you lead a
closely confined life. The habit should
not be permitted to run into chronic
condition. 1t is apt to occur among
sewing machine women, clerks, stu
dents, professional men, etc. This con-
dition leads to headache, acid stomach,
heartburn, biliousness, fevers, indiges-
ton, loss of appetite and many other
diseases.
Bailey's Saline Aperient will relieve
you Of all the above troubles, while as
a purgative it is cheap and the most
