Both of Louisville's evening papers
celebrated their birthday on the lst
inst. The Post was seven years old
and pays itself the following hand
some compliment:
"Scven years ago to-day The Post
was born. Its life so far has been an
interesting one, and it stands a mon
ument of successful journalism. 1t
not only has to-day larger number
of readers than it has ever had, but it
has a larger bona fide circulation than
any paper ever published in Louis
vile. The. business men have recog-
nized this fact by constantly crowd
ing its columns with their advertising
favors. The Independent and fair
minded course of The Post has made
it universally admired and every
where popular. The news facilities
have been increased, as its prosperity
has waXed greater, until each edition
now presents clean sweep of the
news of the day, far in advance of all
competitors, both in a local and tele-
graphic way. All in all, tbs a merry
May day for The Post"
The Times rounded up its first year
and soliloquizes thusly:
ain the three Cities of the Falls and
the contiguous territory of which
they are the trade center, the circula-
ton of The Times, we have every
reason TO believe, exceeds that of any
other newspaper. Possessing an eX-
elusive news franchise unequaled by
any other afternoon paper, and me-
chanical appliances excelled by none
it has disseminated its news and
views without fear or favor, and &C.
complished in twelve months whaI
no other afternoon paper in Louisville
has been able to achieve is as many
years.
The Times is founded on rock
and, though the winds blow and the
rains beat upon it, it is here to stay
till the last trump shall shut up thu
shops and bring about that millen
mum for which all good newspaper
labor, thoughhwith its coming thei
occupations gone.'
Due allowance must be made fol
slight differences in the above state
ments, by those who cannot under
stand how both of them IAN have thu
largest circulation. Perhaps they ar
like the Illinois Legislature, which is
politically, all exact tie.

Andy Welper, the Louisville
saloon keeper who killed Harry Clay
and has been sentenced to two years
in the penitentiary, is getting up a
petition for a pardon. If Gov.
Knott pardons this man he will make
Il mistake that will subject him to
the severest criticism. AS one who
has viewed with pride the career OF
a governor whose administration
has been characterized by wisdom
and craftsmanship, we earnestly
hope that the Governor will not Sc
lect Welper nor any other murderer
to be the beneficiary of executive
clemency. The time has come when
the fewer pardons issued by the
Governor the better il will be for the
maintenance of law and order. 1t is
hard enough to convict criminals at
best and those who are convicted
should not be pardOned, unless their
entire innocence is subsequently cs-
tablished. The friends of Gov.
Knott will be disappointed in him il
he allows himself to fall into the
habit of abusing the pardoning pow

A. W. Hamilton, step-son of Gen.
Williams, openly changes corruption
on the part of w. p. Kimball, the
beardless youth who represented
Fayette county in the last Legislature.
Hamilton charges that Kimball
voluntarily informed him when a
candidate that he was for Senator
Williams for reelection, and on that
representation he (IIamilton) spent
1850 to secure Kimball's election, and
further that he was approached by a
friend of Kimballs pending the sen.
atOrial election who returned the
money thus spent, and on the next
ballot Kimball voted for Blackburn.
All these things Mr.. Hamilton charges
and adds: "If Mr.. Kimball denies
these statements he is a deliberate
and willful lier. For that assertion ]
hold myself personally responsible

ton upon his Integrity he knows
where I can generally be found" Mr.
Kimball does deny and thus the
