WASTE LANES IN GIBSON CoUNTY.-In the
House of Representatives on the 18th inst.
Mr., aMBBEE moved the following:
WHEREAS; The Government of the United
States owns large quantity of land il. the coun-
ties of Gibson and Pesey. in the State of lndi-
ana, lying on the Wabash and White rivers,
which is fiat and wet, and subject TO overflow,
and thereby rendered worthless, and creates
disease in the adj lining country; and whereas
said lands have been offered for sale more than
forty years, and that the same would be of
great value Were they reclaimed. and the coun-
try around them rendered much more healthy;
and whereasit is thought practicable to reclaim
said lands by draining and leveeing, Therefore
be it resolved, that the Committee on Public
Lands inquire into the expediency of granting
and ceding said counties the portion of said
lands lying in each respectively for the purpose
aforesaid"

The News FROM FRANcE.-The news from
France, of which we give copious extracts III
our columns to-day, will be read with intense
interest. For some weeks past the Ministry
have been endearoring to suppress the reform
banquets, as theyare called. Threats had pass
3 ed on the part of NJ. Guizot in conversation
with NJ. Odilon Barrot as to the action of the
government IN reference to the attendance o
the opposition deputies at these banquets. A
violent quarrel ensued, in which Barrot told
Guizot that she was worse than Polignac and
Peyronnet, and that if he did not take care
their fate would be his" He added that since
the deputies were singled out for prescription
they would now attend these banqnets in cos
tume-that is, in their official robes. While
we admit the attempt on the part of the Minis
try to suppress these political meetings of the
masses TO be the immediate cause of the out
break, we are aware that for months past the
materials for revolution in France have been 81
lently but steadily preparing. Nor have mo
tives been wanting in the tyranny Of Louis
Philippe, the general prohigacy and e1trava
gance of his court, and the wide spread discon
tent of the masses. But it was not generally
expected to break out during the monarch's life
time. Louis Philippe staked his crown OF

FULFILMENT OF PRoPHEcY.-The correspon-
dence between Gen. Scott, Secretary Marcy
and Mr.. Trist has been furnished the Senate at
its call.
"lndependent" gives the public striking
fact from this unpublished correspondence. 1t
is this: The first intelligence received by
Gen. Scott from Mr.. Marcy, after the battle OF
Cerro Gordo. was rebukc for dismissing the
prisoners at Vera Cruz. General Scott in an
swer to decentralization, says:
SIT is something remarkable, that his first
letter, after the gaiantry and success of the ar
my in the various battles, should be one ofcen-
sure; and he presumes, from the same train Of
reasoning, that by the time he enters the CAPT
tai of the enemy he will be dismissed from his
command"
Gen. Scot, lived tosee his prophecy fulfilled.

EVANSVILLE, March 25th, 1913.

Ecssrs. W. Fl. Chandler d. Co.
have seen an article in yesterday mornings
DAILY Commercial" enquiring into the condi
ton of the 'sWalker Monument Fund" and
intimating that the Committee has been neg
ligent of its duties In answer, l beg leave
on behalf of the Committee to say, that, there
has come to my hands as collector and treasur-
er, the sum of SlO4,40, ninety dollars of
which wason the 18Th of November last, safe
ly loaned at four months on interest, where it
still lies. The remaining S14,40, (since col
ected, is alone in patent shot bag inmy safe.
Is that satisfactory?
There is in my hands delinquent subscrip-
ton list for this Township. of about $40. chief
ly available. l will thank the gentlemen by
whose autographs that list is honored to call on
me and look at it.
There is, believe, similar, though smaller
list in the hands oil each of the Township Com
mittees throughout the County, withthe excep-
ton of that of Scott Township, which has set
tied with me.
If there is any unreported cash in the hands
of those Committees, am not aware of it.
will thank those Committees to report pro-
gress.
This Committee little miscalculated the
extent of the popular pecuniary enthusiasm on
| this subject, when it ADOPTED the one dollar
subscription system.
There were many who would have subscrib
ed a much larger amount if permitted to dc
| so-and but for the one dollar Limitation, the
required amount, say $3.50 or $500 would have
been readily realized Notwithstanding the
partial failure in raising the required amoun
thus far, this Committee relying on the patriot
ism and right feeling of this community. beg
leave publicly to say, that the money and the
monument must and shall be raised, and tina
the deeds and death of the gallant old Captain
and the brave fellows who fell at his side, shall
yet be duly commemorated BY those who herr
enjoyed the quiet sweets of home, whilst they
at their country's call, were biting the dust or
the glorious field of Buena Vista.
The Committe is still receiving subscrip
tons at my Office. and most respectfully invite
our citizens and all others so disposed, to throw
in their mite. You, MIR. Chandler, have boil
subscribed and paid. So have not the gentle
men of the Daily Commercial, but am DAHL
expecting that they will do so. and am conf
dent of the same act of justice to the memor.
of the gallant dead from the head or heads o
another public Journal hereabouts. The Com
mittee has noticed with pride the gallan. anG
manly bearing Of divers, both officers and sol
diers of our army row in this city, and would
be happy of their aid in doing this small homo

Strolllng day or two since into one of our Book

by DR.. White, at Rockville. We'll do remember the
beautiful moonlight evening when the word passed
from mouth TO mouth that Gen. Howard dead a
universal gloom accompanied the dngs as the cheer
full groups of citizens learned the mournul event.
All spoke of the virtues of the deceased, of his manly
bearing, of his eoquence, and of his honesty-that
his party had lost their favorite-that good and
true had fallen-faen in the pride of his noble
strength, the meridian of his usefulness and fame

cal friends fondly called Z" Our Howard il is elo-

sketch of his character will be recognized by all who
knew him:
The style in which he wrote and spoke when in
his best intellectual moods, partook of the elevated
and substantial character of his reading 1t was
clear. earnest classical, manly. 1t had no borrowed
ornaments special contrvances of art gold

did, with happy illustration, gratified and
impressed: if he withheld adventitious graces, we
deemed his dignity propriey and strength, noble
pensations."
Let all who admired the talents or revere the mem

this last and worthiest tribute of religious respect to
him who has laid down "to sleep till the resurrec
