Rev. Robert Nowmann, who has
Waited this ?tato several, times in the
interest of imrnigrantn, and has settled
aomo good ouea in' comfortable places
in Ne wherry and other Counties, has
jaflt been virtually dismissed by a new?
ly appointed committee of his churoh
(the Lutheran) from his position ob
missionary to emigrants at Custle Gar?
den, Now York. Tbu circumstances
of thin transaction will illustrate to our
people the spirit and determination
wbiob they have to contend against.
The ra?ioau? have been in tho habit
of paying premiums for all emigrants
shipped West. In August lust, they
united to discontinue it in name. Bat
sinoe then they really pay tho same
commissions as before, but do it secret?
ly. Mr. Newmann, not liking this
way of doing business, refused to come
into the arrangement. Thecommittee
also ordered him to do certain other
tbinge, which bo deolined to do. They
directed him to send those wholwanted
board to tho Qsrman Emigrant Mis?
sion Iloase, which he also declined
to do. He has been disoharged. We |
see that a strong iafinenco is exerted
to give a particular directinu to emi?
grants. The system works directly
against the Southern Status. If we
want emigrants to come to this State,
wo must meet and overcome these un?
friendly and interested efforts to pre?
vent their doing so.
Not fob Joe.?The Now York paperB
recommend their idle workmen to "go
West," and some of our Southern
papers are inviting them to come
South. The Western papers deoline
to take them on any terms, because
that market is crowdad with the same
troublesome customers. God known
we do not want them in the South,
while many of onr own people are out
of places.
A Caiid to the Poblic?A Shout
Postponement or the Fifth Gift
Conckbt.?As manager of the gift
conoerts, given in aid of the Public
Library of Kentucky, my position
oreates an important trnst in behulf of
tbe Publie Library and the ticket
holders of the fifth gift concert. The
Pablio Library of Kentucky and tho
tioket-holders are jointly interested in
the amonnt of the drawiug. Tho
larger the fund to bo distributed in
gifte tho greater will be the gift
awarded to each lucky ticket-holder
and tho tnoro the amount realized by
the Library. To have a full drawing
is ao manifestly to the interest of those
interested, that, rather than have a
fractional drawing on tho ?Oth instaut,
I doom it due to the trust confidbd to
mo by the ticket-holders and the Pub?
lic Library of Kentucky, that a short
postponement be made to enable me
to dispose of the uubold ticket? and
have u full drawiug. Though tho very
large amount now in bank would ena?
ble us to distribute haudsome gift", yet
we should feel disappointed in this our
last coticert, should wo be compelled ,
to mako a fractional drawing, however
large. Wo have received so very large !
a number of letters from all parts of i
tho country from Ihoso most lurgely !
interested, urging a postponement it I
all the tickets be not sold by tbe 30th, |
that we feel strengthened in our ssri.se
of duty to tho ticket holders aud the
Public Library, to make the postp.uic- j
meut. Under the circumstances, wo]
have determined, iu tho interest of all
purtien, to postponu Ihn concert and!
drawiug to Saturday, February 27, j
1875, at win oh lime the drawiug will
positively take place, und, an n p.uar
unten ol good faith tow ir.l ticket-1
holders, wo pledge ourselves t<< ruf and I
to any ticket-holder bi.-i money, upon j
presentation of his ticket, should the,
drawing fail to come off at tbo day now j
fixed. Tho past, wo feel assured, will
bo siibaciout guarantee to all interested
that they will bo fairly and honestly
dealt with. Thn money paid for ticket*
is sacredly preserved against all oon
tingencies uutil after tho payment of
the gifts, after which Iho expenses uro
to be reimbursed and tho Public Li?
brary 'm to be paid its profits.

That was a weird &tory told by our!

in the very couutry where irou masters j
