Lexington, Ry.:
Dear Sir,-Please accept my cordial
thanks for the invitation Of the Executive
Committee OF the Morgan Retinion Asso-
citation to attend their eneampment at Lex
ington, KY, to be held on and after the
oath instant. Your letter Of May last hav-
ing either failed to reach me or been re-
ceived when was too i'll to acknowledge,
am doubly indebted to your courtesy in
sending me a copy of it, to which | now
have the honor TO reply. sincerely regret
my inability to he with you as invited, be-
ing too much debilitated by recent illness
to bear the fatigue OF the journey and the
excitement of so joyous an occasion. You
have Justly appreciated the many endear-
ing memories OF my youth which cluster
around the place OF your meeting, and it
would be most gratifying to me to eX-
change saluta,ions with the survivors Of the
gallant Kentuckians who left their homes
10 maintain at every hazard the principles
embalmed in the early history OF their
State by the resolutions Of 179S. The name
OF your association is eloquently commem-
orative Of daring deeds performed, OF dire
suffering borne. and barbarOus indignities
inflicted on men who had braycly strug-
gled in unequal combat to yindicate the
rights their fathers LEFT them.
With my respects, please present to your
associates the heartfelt good wishes, with
which | am fraternally,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

PROFESSOR CHANDLER's ORGAN-RECITAL.
4 most enjoyable organ-recital was given
Yesterday afternoon by Professor j. Carroll
Chandler ut the Monumental church. The
programme was an excellent one, and was
finely rendered. There were many prOmi-
nent musical and society people present,
who thoroughly appreciated the artistic
manner in which the several selections
were executed. Professor Chandler Is an
organist of undoubted ability, and his
playing bespeaks the thorough musician.

p. s. We have many promises Of SUBJ
stantial aid from prominent business gem
tlemen. The one perpetual membership
sold above is a suggestion from one Of the
oldest and probably best-nformed mer-
chants in our city. He would only give
S25 on any other plan, and added that this
was customary mode OF raising money in
large cities for similar enterprises. The
committee accepted his proposition, and
have resolved to sell fifty perpetual mem
berships. These are transferable. and
should the Richmond Mozart Association
prove a success will IN the future probably
be worth an advance.

NEVADA AND COLORADO.

Senator Hills bill transferring the
Mint of coinage from Carson City,
Nevada, to Denver should meet
with no serious oppositin. The es-
adjustment Of the Mint at Carson
was q great mistake. It has al ways
been q source Of great expense,
without an adequate return to the
people. Here the $50, 900 900 that
Colorado produces, besides the pro
ducts. of the adjacent Territories,
could be coined more advantageous
ly than anywhere else. Here, in
the heart of the metal-prcducing
region of the country, is the place
for the Mint.-Denver Tribune.
The editor of the Denver Tribune
is not only novice in geography.
but seems to have forgotten the
debt which the Government Of the
United States owes to Nevada. 1t
was the time of the country's sorest
need, when treason was armed to
the teeth in the South and making
its way stealthily in the North, that
money was called for to carry on
the war. At this critical juncture
Nevada stepped into the breach and
piled up bulwark of solid silver
bricks between the National Capt.
tol and the scowling hostes OF Sc
cession. It was this, impregnable
wall of defense that saved the con-
stitution and the republic. The
only thing Nevada has as sign OF
grateful remembrance from the
government, whose life it saved, is
Statehood and the Carson Mint.
Does Senator Hill So wish the
nation to recall its gilt and say to
Nevada, 1--WE are even?" Again,
the Tribune boasts of Colorados
$50, 900 900 product. This product
must be kept up for nearly eight
years to enable Colorado to show
as much of bullion product as has
been taken out OF one single ledge
in Nevada. The Salt Lake Tribune
speaking of the boast of Colorado
mines says:
.'Since the discovery Of the Com
stock lode twenty-four years ago,
the people Of that State have, &C
cording to their number, contribu-
ted more to the wealth Of the world
and have paid out more in supplies
and transportation. than the like
number of people anywhere else in
the Union have; more, there are
districts which have been run over
and left in Nevada, which are rich
er than scores of Colorado camps
that Colorado men never cease
Boosting about. Nevada is just
now going through season of de-
preston which is due to the merci-
less exactions and determinations
of pitiless corporation which has
held the State in a constructor like
embrace for fifteen years.
If Congress proposes to forget
the past and heap ingratitude upon
our heads, we only ask in return
that it will be considerate enough
to pass some bill which will give
us freight tariff which will place
on a par with our neighbors.

Rarely If the history Ct Nevada
politics do we find a man-no mat
ter how much of a failure he may
be-deserted and condemned by his
own party journals.
Governor Adams is notable ex-
ception to this rule. Ever since be
began to warm the executive chair
his shortcomings and his utter in
capacity for the position have made
him conspicuous target for the
very newspapers which during the
campaign were SO loud in his
praises. The correspondent of the
Silver State gives him q merited
rap over the knuckles for his dis
courtesy to Gen. Hancock, as fol-
lows:
Through negligence, or indiffer-
ence to the rules of social etiquette,
one of our greatest Generals has
been permitted to pass through our
Site, and within one hours ride of
the State Capital, without the slight
est recognition from our Governor
or State officials. 1 venture to say
that it is the first State through
which General Hancock has passed
since leaving New York without re-
ceiving q gracious welcome from
the officials and citizens. What an
opportunity this would have been
for the display of our boosted West
ern hospitality. l do not know
what excuse can be offered for this
slight put upon one of our most
noted army officers. staunch Un-
ionist--and SO lately the standard
bearer of the Democratic party
by the Democratic Governor Of Ne
vada."
The only excuse which can be
offered is that the Governor was ig.
norant of what to do or how to dc
it.

Early last Sunday morning a grocery store in Bridgeport was robbed of con- siderable quantity of tobacco and some cigars. About daylight some one fouud a hat on the sidewalk, and some one found hat on the sidewalk, and some tobacco The It st of the story is in the vein of one of Gaboriou's stories. When the articles were sent to the police station, two officers held consultation over them and decid-d that the hat looked like O'Briens. There upon they went to o 'Brien's house and his mother said he was not at home. In his bed, however, they found tobacco and ci- gars matching those that were missing. Then as they went away they ran across O'Brien himself, who had got out of the house just before they got in. On the way to the station he asked if they had caught the others yet ''Ne,' the policemen re- piled, "but they gave you away badly, didn't they e'' This was thrown out as feeler, the officers not being sure that oth- CTS were engaged, and O'Brien fell into the trap very nicely. "Well, it was that big Sweeney who gave me away, SUD- pose, and if it hadn't been for him I wouldn't have undertaken the job," he blurted out. That was one more name gained, and before long O'Brien revealed ouno OaCh AHoAaPSou was tuS GlllIu one, without being aware that he was the one who was giving away the whole busi- ness.

The two little dramas, sNo Questions Asked" and ''More Than They Bargain ed For" which make up this volume, are sparkling and full of movement, and can be arranged easily for parlor or school pre- sentation. They do not depend upon com plicated stage arrangements or scenery for interest, but upon the breezy dialogue and the frequent dramatic situations. Aside from its admirable adaptation to use in parlor theatricsls, the book will be full of interest to the general reader. The illus trations are fine, and the outside harmon izes with the contents in the way of at- tractiveness.

On Saturday the president pardoned Mason, the soldier who shot at Guiteau over two years ago. Mason was put on guard outside the jail in Washington, but instead of protecting Guiteau he shot at him, the bullet passing through the wln- dow of his cell, and fattening against the wall opposite. It was deliberate attempt to murder the criminal, and an act of in subordination that could not be tolerated. Mason was sentenced to eight years inn prisonment in the Albany prison. He has served two years and two months. The president will be justified at this time in setting Mason free, after the severe punish ment that has been imposed upon him.
