VERN CALIFORNIA AHEIM, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1872. THE GRAND GIFT CONCERT. GIFT MONEY ALL UP. $500,000 in Bank to Pay Prizes A Full Drawing in Sight. THE Grand Gift Concert. For the benefit of the Public Library of Kentucky, is postponed to Saturday, the 7th of December, for the following reasons: 1. The failure of certain agents to make returns in time for the drawing to take place Sept 28. 2. The accumulation of orders during the last few days to such an extent that it was not possible to all them and have the drawing on the 28th. 3. The generally expressed desire of ticket holders that a full drawing might be had, even if it made a short postponement necessary. 4. The belief of the management that by a abort postponement the remnant of an old tickets can be disposed of, and all the prizes paid in full without the necessity of any payment being down. For these reasons, coupled with the earliest desire to benefit the Public Library by a larger balance and the ticket holders by larger gifts, the contest and distribution have been postponed to Saturday, the 7th of December, on that day, and no other, the drawing will positively and unequivocally come off in the great hall of the Public Library building, beginning at precisely 6 o'clock A.M., and continue until the whole of the one thousand gifts are awarded. The payment of the gifts will begin the 3d day after the drawing, and continue for six months, in current installment, by the Farmers' and Drovers' Bank or by sight draft upon the fourth National Bank. Krom Wednesday's Semi-Weekly. Letter from Kansas. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 29, 1872. Ed. Southern California — On the 24th, we took care for Kansas City, to attend the exposition. A vote was taken this time ladies were ruled out. The result was, Grant 18, Greeley 26, Neutral 6, O'Conner 4, Victoria Woodhull 1. The politics of Kansas, like her history seems, rather "mixed." After the vote, an enthusiastic Republican, in the back of the car, edited the occupants by reading aphorisms from Horace Greeley, evidently written by that impulsive but impolitic old gentleman, before he ever expected to hold his present anomalous position of Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Every one of the numerous rail roads poured a living stream into Kansas City. The success of last year's exposition, which was the first one held, and which was projected and completed in less than two months, had gone abroad, and this year was a greater success both were not, and consoles with the reflection that owed "monopolies" get pledays Eleven entries for the premium on ladies.

Thevery pretty, in excellent hardness arrayed. The generally expressed desire of ticket holders that a full drawing might be had, even if it made a short postponement necessary. The belief of the management that by a abort postponement the remnant of any old tickets can be disposed of, and all the prices paid in full without the necessity of any payment is amending down. For the reason mentioned with the current desire to benefit the Public Library by a larger balance and the ticket holders by larger gifts, the cost and distribution have been postponed to Saturday, the 16th of December, 1872. On that day, no other drawing will positively and unequivocally come in the great hall of the Public Library building, beginning at precisely 6 o'clock A.M., and continue on till the whole of the one thousand gifts are awarded. The payment of the gifts will begin the 3d day after the drawing, and continue for six months, in current tunisie, by the Farmers' and Provers' Bank or sight draft upon the Fourth National Bank New York, at the option of the gift ticket-holders.

Proprietor of the Gift House, will set as a Committee on the part of the Trustees to take charge of the tags before the drawing, count them, place them in the wheel and personally see that corresponding numbers for all the tickets sold go into the wheel. After the drawing is over, the wheel with its contents will be placed in the hands of a Committee on the part of the ticket holder to satisfy themselves whether all the tickets sold were represented in the drawing.

THOMAS K. BRAMLETTE, Agent Public Library Kentigery, Public Library Building, Louisville, Ky. In the afternoon, we had the pleasure of seeing the celebrated trotter "Ethan Allen." He was hitched with a running horse, and trotted a number of times around the ring. Not once did the brave little fellow break, but performed his part with an apparent ease, that tried the powers of his mate to the utmost. Friday, we reserved the remnant of our strength and curiosity for the afternoon, when the contest for the premium of fifty dollars for ladies' driving was to take place. Being engaged in literary occupations, until the hour arrived, we snatched our pocket book and started for the grounds, not stopping to erase the ink marks on our fingers. Arriving there we found our funds reduced below our expectations. Careful search could only bring to light three ten cent greenbacks and a California dime (our last) Admission fee fifty cents. To go back did not suit our inclinations. Perhaps our forlorn countenance, or the sight of the "dime" touched the compassionate heart of the ticket vender, for he let us inside, where we found our friends, replenished our pockets and on one return made up the deficiency to the trustful agent. We expected to be published next day as an example of honesty, but sight seeing. The display in every department seemed full and satisfactory, and to enter into a description of any one would test the pen of a journalist.

Saturday, being rainy, was not favorable to a large attendance; besides it was the last day, signs of demolition and dissolution were visible throughout the various departments. The only new feast was displayed in the afternoon when the "Baby Show" took place. Only one entries were made, and premium, a handsome baby rige, worth $150, given by a healthy old bachelor, was awarded. Kansas City baby, a black eyed eight months old. Minds may refer as to the morality which prompts such a display of the little robed innocents. We supply for a few months previous they undergo a system of training and a training process. They were all pretty, in excellent order, and dsomely arrayed. Abeim Lapding will go by their road provided they take it cheaper. They do not intend to make the main trunk road to Fort Yuma by way of Anaheim and the Santa Ana river if they did, it would pay us to give them a subsidy; as we know they do not let us keep our money, and let them build their road on the route they prefer. Col Scott is also going to build a road from Fort Yuma to San Diego, we do not know by what route, but will know in a few months. Most of these persons who know the character of the passes in the mountains east of us are certain that he must decide in favor of the San Gorgonio pass; if so, the best route is by the Santa Ana River, and if that route is taken his road must pass within a few miles of Anaheim, the present presumption is that this will be the route. The Los Angeles and San Diego Railroad Company propose to build a road from Los Angeles through Anaheim until it connects with Col Scott's road, and ask the county to San Gorgonio pass; if so, the best route is by the Santa Ana River and if that route is taken his road must pass within a few miles of Anaheim, the present presumption is that this will be the route. The Los Angeles and San Diego Railroad Company propose to build a road from Los Angeles through Anaheim until it connects with Col Scott's road, and ask the county to donate them $377,000, to aid them in the construction of said road. If I am correct in my opinion they will have just 30 miles of road to build, in which case if we vote the subsidy they will receive $12,500 per mile for building a road over a dead level country; this will undoubtedly be a very good thing for them, but I think it would be a very hard bargain for us. About one month ago I proposed to a leading Director of this scheme that a proviso should be inserted that not more than six thousand dollars per mile should be given in any event but this he declined to do. If they expected to build to the southern county line there could have been no reason for objecting to do this. I then remarked that I thought a failure to insert some such proviso would be fatal to the scheme; for I do not think the people of this county are mad enough to vote them the subsidy. The route they have selected is the best that could have been taken but the price demanded is outrageous. It is well known that the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Co. have given their preference to the San Diego route, if a subsidy is voted, but are decidedly opposed to giving a subsidy at all, if it can be avoided. They are the largest taxpayers in the county and think the county debt is already sufficiently large. And I think it best not to be hasty in involving the county in a heavy and useless additional debt. They favor delays; think we had better "go slow." Taxpayers may depend upon it the parties who are arguing this seneme so stronously expect to make a big thing out of it, but as they are the few and we consider a railway connection with San Diego of any importance, although a connection with the county is of importance to them. Therefore, let them subsidize the road. We have all the harbor facilities of our own that we require. What we want is a road to Arizona, and we want that route to be made on the most direct and most practicable route, by the San Gorgonio pass. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company have got to build fifty miles of road per year, each year, from March 1st 1873 until 1878 between Baghepe pass and Fort Yuma, or fit their land grant. All building materials, and rolling stock, will have to be landed at San Pedro and transported over our present road, and all their roads must connect north and extend north and east from that road. I am convinced they fully intend to buy that land in order to use it for the transportation of their materials, if they this they will extend it to deep water where ships of the largest can lie at the wharf, and dislodge their cargoes; it is not for the moment to be supposed that they will continue the present system of lightage one hour longer than they are obliged to; they always have the very best and most ecological appliances for doing business; for the same reason they will build a branch to Anaheim, in the southern part of the county, order to concentrate all the trade there upon the road. All the night that is now shipped by An- Few men in this county have devoted more time and attention to the study of this question than myself, and it is my deliberate conviction that the people of this county should not vote one dollar of subsidy to either Railroad Company, for I am certain that the competition between Stanford & Co., and Col. Scott will give us all the railroads we want, that we will get them just as soon as if gave a subsidy. At all events let us "go slow." During the last six months we have learned much, during the next year we will learn more; besides the San Diego Company do not propose to finish their road, but only to grade bridge and tie it. Col. Scott will not put in the iron and rolling stock until he ready to use it, until then it will be of no use. Therefore I say go slow adjourn this question for one year, when we will know better what we are doing, we are now groping in the dark. Wm. R. Ottox.
