Breazeale, Ilsq^ United States Com . missioner for Anderson County. 89s On last Saturday morning, a heavy frost caused considerable damage to the gar? den* in this- vicinity. Irish potatoes, beans i and other vegetables bear the blackened marks of this untimely visitor. ?S* We will publish next week the official and complete text of the recent decision of the . Supreme Court of the United States upon the homestead law, as a matter of general interest to our readers and as particularly valuable to the legal fraternity. ??? .Mr. Julius Pop]>e proposes to give in? structions on the violin, flute and goitar, afford-' ing an excellent opportunity for our young people to obtain scientific knowledge in the use of these instruments. Mr. Poppe is tho : roughly experienced as ft teacher, and promises careful instruction to his pupils. -rffiwv-. H^* The Abbeville Medium pretends to . give the cotton quotations in Anderson every Wednesday, and makes die difference in favor of Abbeville from one-half to a cent. The - quotations of the Anderson market are evidcnt " ly spurious and certainly untrue, and we would Eke to know from whence our cotemporary de? rives its information. JS?* The protracted exought ended on Mon? day last, and welcome showers revived droop? ing vegetation and quenched the thirst of mother earth. Four w five weeks of dry weather, with'rain of slight consequence dur? ing that period, aroused the fears of many . persons,and visions of '45 began to loom up before' their imaginations. But the rain has ' descended, and despondency gives way to aus? picious hope for fruitful seasons. J&" It appears that the heavy frost on last Friday night wss not confined to this section, but was general throughout North and Sooth Carolina, Tennessee ami! Georgia. Wherever cotton was out of the ground, the plant has been badly damaged, and in some sections peaches were killed and irheat greatly injured. Suow is reported in Ohio and other portions of the, Northwest The extreme dry weather in this vicinity was favorable, as otherwise the damage must have been 11 most unprecedented. "Say, My Heart, Can This be Love7" The Edgefield Advertiser says that "Gen. ?Gary's forthcoming novel is to be entitled as above, and to portray the experiences of a youthful soul in the deadly breach of love?a chapter, it is whispered, from the real life of the gifted author." Should there be lack of incideut among the General's experience in that line, we commend him to the youthful follies of the gay and festive editor of the Edgefield Advertiser. United States Court. It is not often that a man is l^pky enough to get two good offices in a single day, yet such seems to be the fortune of James E. Hogood, Esq., of Pickens, who was appointed Clerk of the United States Court on last Saturday, in place of Daniel Horlbeck, Esq., resigned. On the same day, Judge Bond appointed Mr. Hagood as United States Commissioner for Charleston County, in place of Mr. John F. Porteus, who has been removed. This is heap? ing up the measure of luck for Mr. Hagood, but we are confident that his excellent business qualifications will find him equal to the emer? gency. ? Cotton Manufacturing. We are informed that efforts will be made shortly to awaken fresh interest io the estab? lishment of cotton factories in our midst, by the revival of the sehe mo proposed eighteen months ago under the name of the People's Manufacturing Company. The design of the Wading spirits of this movement is to raise suf? ficient capital among our citizens to erect a steam cotton mill at this place for weaving cloth, and to establish one or more factories for the manufacture of cotton yarn upon adjacent water powers. The scheme is practicable, and the investment will undoubtedly result profita? bly to the stockholders. We trust that the cttiiens of Anderson County are ready to unite in this movement, and that there will be no difficulty in securing the requisite capital. Valuable information is being collected, and we are promised the privilege of presenting the facts and arguments in this connection, as de? rived from various persons of experience in the management of cotton factories elsewhere. Delinquent Land Sales. The Cbunty Auditor gives notice to delin? quent tax-payers that the sale of their lands will begin on next Monday, unless tbe taxes, penalties and costs are paid on or before that day, as required by law. The list of delin? quents for this County is quite meagre, and will likely be greatly reduced before the hour of sale arrives. As we understand the law, so much of each tract or parcel of land will be s?ld an is necessary to pay the costs and charges thereon, and conveyance will be made in fee simple, without the right of redemption. The County Auditor is authorized to execute a warranty deed to the purchaser, and the Leg? islature, at its last session, provided a speedy mode for putting the purchaser into immediate possession. Under these circumstances, it be? hooves every one interested in the lands adver? tised by the County Auditor to prevent the sale, if possible, by promptly discharging the indebtedness to the State, whether or not they owned the land at its last assessment, as the neglect of former owners does not exempt the property from absolute sale, and at the time specified. The Election on Saturday. The election on Saturday lost, ordered by the TowfeCouncil, attracted considerable in? terest among the citizens generally, but the occasion passed off quietly and satisfactorily to ali parlies. As will be observed by the figures hereunto annexed, tie anti-license vote em? bracedI an overwhelming majority, which will keep tie bar-rooms closed until the term of the present Council expires in September next. Indeed, the sentiment so strongly manifested by this vote indicates that a large majority of our citizens are in favor of abolishing the liquor traffic in this community; and with prudenr, management, together with the mani? fest improvement in the morals of the town, there will be no difficulty in electing the next , Town Council npon the dry ticket, if the issue ' is properly made and earnestly sustained. At least, we hope for such a result, and believe that the decided change, already apparent from our ahoirt experience since the bar-rooms were closed, will convince many others that the ad? vantages accruing from the prohibition of the liquor traffic are manifold and permanent As time derelopes these advantages, we shall have occasion to make further comment upon this subject In regard to the proposed special tax, which likewise obtained a majority in its favor, it is proper to remark that many declined to vote upon tins question, fiom the simple fact that they w< re not fully informed as to the merits and practical utility of the fire apparatus in? tended to be purchased. Others believed that the expenditure was unwise, and that more efficient means should be secured, at a larger outlay, with which to suppress fires when oc? casion required. Others again were willing to risk the chances, or rely upon insurance to cover possible losses, but the general senti? ment wns in favor of providing effective agen? cies to prevent the serious losses incurred by other communities from visitations of this destructive element Yet a sufficient number felt disposed to test the efficiency of the pro? posed apparatus, and hence there was a small majority in favor of the special tax. We pre? sume that this tax will be levied in a short time, and that there will be no captious oppo? sition to its prompt payment by every citizen, as the question was fairly decided at the polls. ' The whole number of voters registered was 220, .divided by race as follows: Whites, 142; colored, 78. A considerable number of col? ored persons failed to register, while ^we know .that six or eight white voters were absent from the town, and did not return in time to register their names. These figures show the steady increase of our white population, as the num? ber of v.-bites heretofore has not*exceeded 120, to which figure the colored vote nearly approx-1 imated. At the election on Saturday, the whole num? ber of votes cast was 183, as follows: No License, 184; License, 49. Majority against license, 85. Specia; Tax, 92; No Special Tax 66. Ma? jority in favor of special tax, 26. The Carolina High School. The B: rnwell Sentinel contains the annexed flattering notice of the Carolina High School, to which is appended a brief comment upon our town from a correspondent. The High School has entered upon its second term, under auspices well deserving the approbation and kindly wishes of its friends throughout the State, and we are truly gratified to know that the many advantages of the institution and the town as an educational centre are properly appreciated elsewhere: We are pleased to learn that this Institution at Anderson, S. C, is in a most flourishing condition. and now members 160 scholars. Not a week passes that some one or more new pupils do not come in. From Barnwell there are six, three ladies and three gentlemen, and from various pisrta of the State still they come. It is, from what we can learn, the first school in the State; and advantages of educating the sexes together are numerous and obvious. The location ie all that could be desired. Anderson is a quiet, moral village, contains about 2,000 inhabitants, and the habits of her people plai n and simpb, aud there is nothing to tempt the young people into vanity or otherwise. A cor? respondent says: "The p iople here are industrious and ex? tremely attentive to business; cordial and kind in their manners?ready and prompt to do what they are going to do. No shameful wasting of time, and idlers wliittling of boxes about the store doon of Anderson, and fewer idlers or loafers about this town than any 1 have ever been acquainted with." The atmosphere is admirable, and few places are better adapted to rearing the young for business and usefulness in life. We bespeak for the Caroliua High School continued pros? perity._ _ A Poetic Voter. At the election held on Saturday last, the following ticket was deposited on the license question, as we are credibly informed. We have often heard that inebriating fluids awoke to ecstacifjs the poetic fervor, but this is the first instance where the prospect of going it "dry" caused the divine afflatus to rise and soar on wings of delighted imagination. The plaintive tone of the verse is only compensated by the bravo sentiment of the last line, where? in the poet resolves to test the efficacy of na? ture's wholesome beverage, and we gladly wish him joy upou this resolution: NO LICENSE. Good by Larger, Good by Ate, Wbisktiy but or Gin cock-tail. Brand] smash or Whiskey straight, Eye-op-jner or uigbt-cap late, Tom aud Jerry a fond unwell, Never nore to have a smell Of Sherry Cobbler or Milk Punch, Here's a health to a Cold Water Lunch. Daily Line of Hacks. As will be observed by the advertisement elsewhere in our columns to-day, Messrs. Thompson & Steele have established a daily line of hacks from Walhalla to the terminus of the Air Line Railroad, leaving the former place every morning and connecting at the terminus with trains to Atlanta, Ga. On reaching At? lanta, close connections arc made with the va? rious railroads for all points of the Southwest or Northwest. This route has the advan? tages of being shorter, quicker and cheaper than the old route by Columbia and Augusta, and persons traveling in that direction will save money and time by selecting the Air Line route. For instance, the distance from Ander? son to Atlanta, via Columbia and Augusta, is 383 miles, time thirty-five aud a half hours, aud fare $19.15. By Walhalla, the distance is 152 miles, time 26 hours, and fare $10. At present, the staging is only 32 miles, but wc under? stand this will be decreased several miles with? in the next ten days, j The Public Debt of South Carolina. This subject has been worn threadbare in the last few years, and the neglect of the Legisla? ture to provide for the payment of interest upon the bonded debt, together with the ac? quiescence of all parties in this arrangement, has allowed the public generally a slight breathing spell upon the all-absorbing topic But a recent correspondence between certain parties awakens fresh interest, and the time seems propitious for important action in regard to the heavy indebtedness of South Carolina, especially that portion incurred during Scott's administration, when it was fearfully and fraud? ulently increased to an extent almost incredi? ble. We will endeavor to present the points of this correspondence briefly. Morton, Bliss & Co., of New York, recently made a demand upon the Comptroller General to levy a tax for the payment of interest on certain South Carolina bonds owned by that firm. These bonds aggregate between forty and fifty thousand dollars, and belong to five classes, viz: Bonds issued for the redemption of the bills receivable; for the payment of interest on the public debt; for the relief of the Treasury ? for the Land Commission in 1869 and 1870? | all of them issued under authority of the Re- j publican administration. In answer to this demand, the Comptroller General refused to order the levy of a tax for that purpose, add insisted that the platform upon which he was elected pledged his party not to levy a tax for the payment of interest on the public debt un? til the Courts had determined what class and portion of the outstanding bonds of the State are legal and valid. Following this refusal of the Comptroller General, an additional de? mand was made for a tax levy, for the same purpose, to be made on or before November next, in connection with the levy for general purposes, which demand was likewise refused. The object of these demands is to obtain a distinct and formal refusal, in order to lay the foundation for legal proceedings, with a view to compel the Comptroller General to make the levy. The parties will make application to the Supreme Court at once, and this vexed question of the public debt will undergo legal investigation, it is hoped and believed. Attor? ney General Melton and C.-D, Melton, Esq., will represent the Comptroller Genera), and Hons. D.H. Chamberlain and J. P. Carroll will appear for the applicants. ; t We concur with the view already expressed that the tax-payers, who are most deeply inter? ested in these proceedings, should be directly represented by the ablest counsel in the State, and whatever measures are taken for this pur? pose we shall heartily endorse. The counsel for the administration cannot object to assis? tance voluntarily tendered by the tax-payers, and we are hopeful that the prosecution of a vigorous inquiry into this matter will reveal much that is now hidden and obscure, in re? gard to the outrageous increase of the boude \ debt during Scott's administration. It is a chapter in our history that needs- thorough ventilation, and the mere pretence of a fight in the Courts, resulting in a compliance with the demands of the bondholders, without any satisfactory determination of the legal and valid indebtedness of the State, wiO assuredly rebound with treble force upon the -present administration. Unless a thorough investiga? tion is obtained, and the fraudulent issues stamped with the seal of legal condemnation, the people will resist the payment of interest. Without distinction of party, the cry of repu? diation will sweep over the State, and the present State government be covered with greater ignominy than its immediate predeces? sor. An Every Day Episode. .... Other towns besides Anderson illustrate the beauties and glories of cattle running at large, chiefly infesting the public square and proving a daily annoyance to honest farmers. The town ordinance against this practice has worked admirably during its brief existence, but it is only enforced during the winter months, and the multitudinous cow has re? turned to her wonted haunts, eager for'the fray, and with appetite sharpened by long and close confinement, to say nothing of short'rations, with fodder at $3 per hundred and shucks be? yond all conscience. But we were speaking of other towns similarly situated, and hence will introduce a paragraph from the Washington (Ga.) Gazette, at which place a similar law has recently expired by limitation, and whereupon our cotemporary paints the following picture, which is easily recognized: Since then the festive cow feeds upon the fodder of the frugal farmer which he brings to town for his team, and the "lowing herd," instead of "winding slowly o'er the lea," lows all day long and all through the night around the public square. The frugal farmer frequent? ly frets and tusses and fumes, and fights the festive cow with sticks and stones, but the cow shuts one eye till the stone has passed by or rebounded from her elastic hide and then feeds away upon the farmer's fodder. And so it will go on all through the summer months, for the cow, you know, must be turned out to pasture. Grand Lodge of Good Templars. The Grand Lodge of Good Templars con? vened in the town of Winnsboro on Tuesday, 22nd ult., and adjourned Wednesday evening. Forty delegates, representing thirty lodges, were in attendance. The order is in a flourish? ing condition throughout the State, and is ev? erywhere receiving numerous accessions to its membership. The following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: Rev. H. M. Mood, of Cokesbury, G. W. C. T. Rev. J. M. Carlisle, of Sumter, G. W. C. Frank P. Beard, of Camden, G. W. S. Miss M. E. Brown, of Winnsboro, G. W.V.T. Rev. J. S. Connor, of Winnsboro, G. W. T. Rev. J. W. Murray, of Greenwood, G. W. C. W. H. Cuttino, of Sumter, G. W. M. Dr. W. G. Browne, of Anderson, G. D. M. The next annual session of the Grand Lodge will be held in Columbia next April. Sons of Temperance. The quarterly meeting of the Grand Division of South Carolina was held in Newberry, be? ginning on Wednesday, 23rd ultimo. About thirty delegates were present, and the reports from every section of the State exhibited the fact that the order is in a healthy and pros? perous condition, and that the progress of the temperance movement is encouraging. At the close of the session, on Thursday evening, a large and enthusiastic public meeting wan held in the Town Hall, and addresses were delivered by prominent members of the order. The next quarterly meeting will be held at Camden. in July. ITEMS-EDITORIAL AND OTHERWISE. ? The town of Cam den. rejoices in the pos? session of eleven licensed bar-rooms. ? Saturday last was the anniversary of the surrender of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's army in 1865. ??? ?Dr. B. A.

Excursion parties are being; organized in San Francisco, to visit Fiji and other islands in the South Pacific. ? John G. Saxe, the poet, has changed his residence to New York city, which he intends to make his permanent abode. ? One hundred bales of California cotton, the first shipment of the kind, have been shipped from San Francisco to Liverpool. ? Liberal contributions are said to have been collected in England, for a monument to be erected over the remains of Stonewall Jack? son. ? Owing to the heavy frost of Saturday morning, which extended throughout this State, a vast amount of cotton will have to be replanted. ? At two recent elections in Galveston, Texas, (one for municipal officers, and the other for State Senator,) the colored men voted in a body with the Democrats. ? Ohio has passed a stringent law against lottery dealers. Henceforth all aiders and abettors of lottery schemes in that State, under whatever name they may be euphemized, must suffer the penalty of imprisonment. ? Dr. John C. Boyd, of Williamsburg, S. C, has been appointed, by the direction of President Grant, assistant surgeon of the United States Navy. This appointment, due to individual merit, completes the naval medi? cal staff in the Union. ? Dr. Edward T. A very, of York county, who fled while his trial in the United States Court was in progress, on charges of violating the enforcement acts, has been pardoned by the President. It will be remembered that he forfeited his bail at the time. ? The second meeting of the National Ag? ricultural Congress will be held at Indianapo? lis, Indiana, commencing on Wednesday, May 24th. Each State is entitled to two represen? tatives for every State organization engaged in fostering agricultural pursuits. ? General Canby used to be as famous for having a cigar in his mouth as Grant, but unlike the President he rarely smoked, keep? ing, instead, the cigar in his mouth and chew? ing it mechanically till destroyed, when another would as mechanically take its place. ? The New York Evening Post printing and newspaper establishment was sold last week for one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. No species of property has advanced more rapidly in value during the last few years than that of old established newspapers. ? The lease by the Trustees of the South Carolina University to the Regents of the State Normal School, of the chapel and wings of the University for the uses of the Normal School, has been executed. It secures this building for ninety-nine years at a nominal rental. ? The 10th of May has generally been set apart throughout the South for the observance of a sad and pious duty. On that day the graves of the Confederate soldiers everywhere are strewn with garlands and wreaths of early spring flowers, a fitting tribute to the memories of the brave men who laid down their lives for our Southern land. ? The will of the late Commodore Matthew F. Maurv has been authenticated by the great seal of the State of Virginia, preparatory for its transmission to England, where is located much of the property devised by the will. Commodore Maurv died in very comfortable circumstances, and leaves his family with am? ple means for their support. ? A special order from the War Department assigns thirty companies, including all arms, with all machinery and supplies, for a prolong? ed expedition, to protect operations of the Northern Pacific Railroad. It is the heaviest expedition ever sent out in time of peace. The expedition leaves on the 15th June, and remains in the field until the 15th October. ? Rev. Dr. Thomas, one of the victims of the Modoc assassination, was a prominent min? ister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was editor of the California Christian Advocate for twelve years, and manager of the Book Concern in San Francisco for several years. He was a man of high character, great courage and energy, and was much esteemed for his personal traits. ? The Chicago Tribune says it is a curious coincidence that the conflict at Colfax, between the whites and blacks, should have happened in a parish and town "bearing the names of the President and Vice President under whose administration were sown the seeds of this encounter, in the enforcement of the illegal decision of a drunken judge and the recogni? tion of a usurping government." ? An important decision in regard to the amendatory bankrupt act, passed by the last Congress, was. prouounced recently in the United States District Court at Lynchburg, Va., by Judge Rives. He held "that the law was constitutional, and decided that it gave to bankrupts the homestead exemptions against eld as well as new debts, and against all liens or judgments in the State Courts." ? The first steam railroad of any considera? ble length in America was the South Carolina Railroad; the first system of public schools introduced in this country was in South Caro? lina; the first educational institution endowed by any of the States was the College of Charleston, and the first free Episcopal Church established in the United States was St. Ste? phen's Free Church, on Anson street, Charles? ton. ? The Virginia darkies are claiming that one of their race shall be put upon the Repub? lican ticket for Lieutenant Governor in that State. Tbey say that this is necessary in order to bring out the black vote, as the negroes fur? nish a large proportion of the Republican vote of Virginia. They will probably be able to dictate their own terms. At the same time the question will be rather embarrassing to their w?ite allies. ? A new horse disease has made its appear? ance in Buffalo, New York. The veterinary surgeous pronounced it the result of the epi? zootic of last fall. It attacks the animal's hoofs, and causes the flesh to swell and burst, leaving large holes and running sores. In extreme cases the animal loses its hoofs entire? ly, aud has to be killed. A uumber of street railway and express horses are suffering from the new malady. ? Mr. Corcoran, the richest banker in Washington, is one of those judicious million? aires who distribute a part of their superfluous wealth during their lives. Some years ago be gave a magnificent building to the city for an Art Academy, adding afterwards a fine and costly collection of paintings and statuary. He has recently made large gilts for benevolent objects, the sum of which amounts to more than two million dollars. ? The colored people of New York are now in possession of the full rights of citizens. A bill has passed the Legislature, and received the signature of the Governor, by which inn? keepers, common carriers, by land or water, managers of theatres and other places of amusement, and even cemetery associations, are prevented from making a discrimination against any one, on account of color, who may ask for the privileges usually given to white people. ? Prof. Dellounc, the one-legged tight rope performer, bad a fall at the Schentzenplatz, near Charleston, on last Thursday, by which his stump leg was broken two inches below the hip, his face badly cut and his left elbow Htraincd. The break in his thigh was soon re-set, and the other wounds attended to in the most careful manner. The accident was caused by the breaking of the rope, which some per? sons think was maliciously interfered with, in which opinion the Professor concurs. At last accounts, hia cwlitign was steadily-improving. Excitement in Fbance.?A special dis? patch to the New York World of last Saturday, from its London correspondent, says that in? formation received from Paris shows conclu? sively that the gravest apprehensions are felt in the highest and the best informed political circles of Paris of an almost immediate civil war. The recognized Monarchists have been rapidly gaining strength, and -are now deter? mined to have Thiers thrown over, let the cost be what it may. An energetic effort will be made to defeat M. Buffet and elect M. Martel to the presidency of the Assembly, and it is doubtful if the Bight will be able to keep Buf? fet in the president's chair. Theirs is deter? mined to force the Assembly to establish the Republic or to accept his resignation. The city of Lyons is seething with excitement. It is kept from open insurrection only by the most extraordinary efforts of the soldiers and police, and the least trouble elsewhere will pre? cipitate a crisis there. In Nice and Savov there is a great deal of dissatisfaction, which is actively fomented by Italian revolutionary agents. Paris appears on the surface quiet; but the extraordinary precautions taken by the authorities, reveal their apprehensions and prove that there is strong foundation for the gravest fears of trouble. The Postal Law and the Newspapers. ?The third section of the postal appropriation act of the last session, approved March 3rd, provides that all laws and parts of laws per? mitting the transmission by mail of any free matter, whatever, be, and are hereby repealed, from and after June 30,1873. Under this law, from and after the 30th of next June, quarterly or yearly prepayment of postage will be re? quired on all newspaper exchanges and country newspapers the same as now, and will be then required in the case of all mail subscriptions, namely: Five cents per quarter for weekly newspapers, thirty cents per quarter for papers published twice a week, and thirty-five cents per quarter for daily papers, prepayment per quarter or per year to be made either at the office where mailed or at the office where de? livered; in other words, all newspapers, by whomsoever sent or received. By the postal code now in force, publishers sending newspapers without prepayment of postage, who are not subscribers, are subject to a penalty of fifty dollars for each offense after notification by the Postmaster General, but all persons or journals paying postage on news? papers received as exchanges will be regarded by the postoffice department as subscribers within the meaning of the law. Injunction Against the Air Line Rail? road.?In the United States Court, in Charles? ton, on Wednesday, in the matter of James P. Low and -the Blue Ridge Railroad Company, against the Atlanta and Richmond Air Line Railroad Company, officers, agents and ser? vants, it was ordered that an injunction issue to restrain the defendants from doing work upon any portion of the line of the said At? lanta and Richmond Air Line Railroad, which is upon or within the right of way of the said Blue Ridge Railroad in South Carolina; and it is further ordered, that the defendants have leave to move for a dissolution of this injunc? tion upon giving five days' notice thereof, and still further ordered, that a copy of this order be served on Colonel J. A. Herduout, the chief engineer in charge, at Greenville, S. C. Sentences in the United States Court. ?The following sentences were imposed by Judge Bond on Friday last, in the United States Court at Charleston, for violations of the Enforcement Act of Congress. The parties hail from York County, we believe, and have been recently arrested: George L. Leech, convicted of conspiracy, six months imprisonment and a fine of two hundred dollars. Henry M. Moore, for the same crime, to be imprisoned for two years and pay a fine of one hundred dollars. Ned Wallace, for the same crime, to be imprisoned for eight years in the penitentiary. Postponement of the Public Library Gift Concert. It will be seen by the announcement in our advertising columns that the third gift concert of the Public Library of Kentucky, which was to have taken place to-day, has been postponed until July 8. This postponement has not been occasioned, as we are advised by Gov. Bram lette, by the small sales of tickets; on the con? trary, the sales have been unusually large? much larger than at either of the preceding concerts?so large, indeed, that the time given by this ninety-day postponement will enable Gov. Bramlette to dispose of every ticket and insure a full drawing without any reduction or scaling of the gifts, as has heretofore been the case. Gov. B. sees his way so clearly that he announces in the most positive and unequivo? cal language that the drawing will take place July 8, and that it will be a full one. The owner of the ticket drawing the capital gift will get $100,000 in greenbacks without any discount, and so of all the other gifts. The money suffi? cient to pay all the gifts?$500,000 in greenbacks ?is already on deposit In the Farmers' and Drovers' Bank, set apart for the payment of the gifts and can be used for no other purposo, as will be seen by the cashier's certificate. With a knowledge of these facts?and we do not hes? itate to guarantee their scrupulous fulfillment ?there will be such a demand for the ticket? now on hand that in all probability not a single one will be left for sale weeks before the time of drawing. There never was a fairer or more honorably-conducted enterprise before the pub? lic, and it has, as it deserves, the entire confi? dence of our people. It is one of those schemes in which the purchasers of tickets feel the most positive assurance that the drawing will bo fair, for it will be controlled by the most prominent and distinguished citizens of the city and State, and those who draw gifts will be certain to get the money the moment their tickets are pre? sented.?Louisville Courier-Journal, April 7.
