The Election. sc.

Ahe
The election fever is beginning to warm up
in Vanderburgh county. The time is not far
distant for the voters of the State Of Indiana
to give their suffrages for members of the
Legislature, and OF the State Convention to
remodel the Constitution. The first will Of
course, as heretofore, be conducted and set
tied upon party grounds. The second, how
ever, we have from tie first insisted should
be free as possible from party strife. Party
ism should have nothing to do with it. There
are no party ends in this 10 gain by party tri-
umphs, but if the spirit be allowed to mingle
in the selection of members, men will be elect
ed for popularity instead of for capability and
personal worth. Insisting upon the discard
ence of this feeling, we were prepared to sup
port, or to maintain silence in respect to, any
man nominated even by the Democratic par
ty for this Senatorial district or county, whom
we believed possessed of the ability and per-
sonal character to honorably represent the
district or county in the State Convention,
and while there do honor to himself and good
to the State. Thus when Judge Lockhart
was nominated as a Democratic candidate by
the Blairsville Convention, we recognized in
him such man, and preserved slence-but
when member Oft the same party, selfnomi-
mating himselfa candidate for the Convention.
and whom we recognize, though man of
ability, not such man as would reflect hon
or upon his constituency, from his own per-
sonal worth or standing, we felt it duty
rla 70 ,i,,J G-oo
ly- And when another member of the same
party came out without solicitation as a can
didate to represent Vanderburgh county in
the Convention, and who is possessed ofnone
of that ability whatsoever which should mark
such representative, in like manner we felt
bound to dispute his claims, and by frank al
lusions to his deficiencies, seek to call forth
the sober common sense OF his party friend;
to support their own honor, and the interests
of Vanderburgh county, by keeping him iron
the Convention. In this we did right as
citizen, feeling that our interests are connect
ed with those of the county
Members of both parties and especially o
the Wing party, feeling that he was not ca
pacitated to become a member Of the Con
vention, urged Mr.. Blythe to come out in op
. position, knowing that if he were successful
no man of more ability or of stronger person
al worth, could be found to represent them If
the Convention. Urged thus not only by cit
liens of this place. but by many who knew
him in the country, he finally, and as all who
know him would say from no personal ambi
tious feeling, came out as a candidate-ant
now the voters ofVanderburgh have to choose
between him and Greenhouse. We submit
their names to the people of this county, con
ident that their sober common sense, will no
In many cases even permit personal friendship
for the one man, to place such important in
terests in his hands, when the other alon,
possesses the ability to properly take care O
them. Reflect upon the matter between thi
and the election, and then act as reasoning
men.

sons of Temperance Excursion.

A large number of Sons of Temperance
took a Fourth of July excursion on the steam
er Industry, stopping on the Indiana side al
most opposite Henderson. Here they had
prepared cold collation., and every thing
proper for a general celebration. The day
was exceedingly warm, and the exercise OF
perambulating from Speakers stand to din
ner. and from dinner to boat, on the banks Of
the Ohio, was anything but agreeable-yet
they were much refreshed by very briet
and eloquent address. Although cold wa
ter entertainment, at dinner there was nc
cold water to be obtained. Yet the severa
untoward circumstances did not prevent gen
eral enjoyment. The Evansville Brass Ban'
was in company. The boat lett the city ml'
the sweet notes of music, and the juvenile
thunders Of cannon.

CArFlsH.-We daily mark persons passing
Main street, during this almost unpreceden-
tediy hot weather, Juggling along great cat
fish, with the evident desire written upon
their countenances of demoIishing said mud
varmints quick as circumstances would posi-
bly, admit. Now even if the weather were
cool, this is the wrong season 10 eat fish. aud
especially catfsE-hut to eat catfish this
weather. is to defy every disease natural to
the season. Therefore, at the risk Of serious
ly iniuring the extensive catfish trade of
Evansville, we beseech our fcIlow-ctizens to
abstain from all such Injuries as eating oily
catfish. Abstain even from the kitten fishes.

OLD WINE.-We were presented on the
Fourth by Mr. Clifford, formerly one of the
proprietora of the Salt Wen, with Il bottle of
exquisite wine, of the famous Mamsey brand.
1t was imported to this country about fifteen
years ago from France, OF which it is native
wine, and is now nearly thirty years old. A
distinguished noblemen, who had a particular
and refined affection for wine, once remarked
that he would wish no happier death than to
be drowned in d cask Of Mamsey. We are
not particularly ambitious for that kind of
death, but we would wish no happier life than
to have this bottle of wine drowned in US.

NaW Wheaf.

By the St. Louis Republican of Wednes-
day, we notice that the day previous, the first
new wheat of the season arrived from below.
The kernels were full, smooth and sound,
andfree from all imperfections. The harvest
ing had fully commenced in the Southern
parts of Missouri and Illinois, The Repub
lican says that IN many points above, border
ing on the Illinois and Missouri, the harvest
ing has fully commenced, and the accounts
from every quarter are favorable. The old
stock of wheat is going off slowly, and at a
considerable decline Prime and cholce sam
Piles of it were worth 81 81 10, exclusive Of
sacks. 1t was generally conceded. that very
little ofthe new crop would be sold for several
weeks under SOC to 81.
In this region, the wheat crop promises to
be large, and the quality of the grain fair to
excellent. There is but little rust or other
imperlection. The grain is about ripe for the
harvest, and in some parts the harvesting has
already commenced. The weather is favor
able for speedily maturing wheat, but toe
warm and dry for corn. There will be better
wheat crops this season in Indiana, than there
have been for years. A this time, one dol
lar per bushel is offered by an advertiser il
the Journal, but it is not to be expected thi:
price will be maintained when wheat begins
TO come in freely. The first arrival may BIT
expected in day or two. Things certainly
look promising to the farmers this season, ant
well they may after the reverses of last.
Since the above was put in type, we Learn
that the first new wheat Of the season wa
received at the Evansville Mills, yesterday
the 5th inst, from Chas. SWAIN of Centr
Township, FOR which ne received one dolla
per bushel. We understand that those frs
in delivering 5000 bushels, will be entitled t
the same prices, if it is delivered within tw
weeks from date.

ACCEPT 10000 THANKS THAT was the
motto on neat little note received yesterday
morning, accompanying Il large and beauti-
fully ornamented cake, with the compliments
of the Ladies and thanks for many f,vors."-
We return the ten thousand thanks most cor
daily, and assure the ladies that in our en-
beavers to assist thenl.in an enterprise of this
nature, it was not from bouels Of compas-
sion expecting an eventual relIefby cakes,
but from the good and lervent wishes of our
heart toward everything in which the ladies
are concerned.

Such weather-such heat-such MEETINGS
away Of the flesh, and tornentings Of the spi-
Uncertainty would be hard to scare up in
India. The Evansville public is out Of all pa
tience. We are hopping mad oursclf, for
this thing of sweating out ideas would not do
for an African-and to sweat like all wrath,
and not be able to perspire an idea, is excru-
tiatingly aggravating. If we had not fifty
things to write about we most positively
should consider ourseIt perfectly excusabe for
not writing a sentence, not actually demand
ed. We could make most melting appeals
on any subject now, but our readers hearts
are doubtless melted by this time without such
attacks. Seriously, if this weather continue,
sickness must be anticipated. Hot days and
hot nights of long continuance lriH bring on
sickness even in the most healthy places. AT
this time, it becomes every one, especially as
the Cholera is lowering all along the river, to
be cautious of diet and exposure-of over eat
ing and over heating. There is much sick
ness in the larger cities, and we may expect
our share.

Burial of an Odd Fellow.

Yesterday morning the Odd Fellows of this
city attended, TO the number of about sixty,
the funeral of Brother Isaac Morris. aged
about forty, who was stranger, and member
of Ruperville Ledge No. 1862, State of Penn
sylvania, who died here on his way from Ar
kansas. Yesterday morning was exceeding
ly warm, and the members had to walk down
under the burning rays of the sun, to DR..
Burns, probably mile distant, and then up
again and out to the grave yard. They re-
turned almost exhausted with heat and IA
tigue. The Brass Band was in company.
Here IS an instance, which we would not
willingly let pass by without notice, Of the
true benevoIence and brotherly feeling cha
racterizing this Order as well as the Masonic
fraternity. Mr.. Morris resided in Pennsyl
vania, and had been 10 Arkansas, where he
purchased a farm, and was on his return home
after his family when taken sick He arrived
here about week back, sick and destitute
But he meta band of brothers, who toek him
under their charge, provided him with every
comfort, AMI medical attendance, and nurseC
him faithfully. But the ravages of disease
could not be stayed, and he died. Yesterday
as we said, he was buried with as high hon
ors as though he had died rich man, the Or
der of course paying his personal and all 9th
er expenses. Comment is useless.

The House of Lords was the scene Of ex-
element in debate on Monday night, grow
ing out of the motion of Lord Stanley, rela-
tive to the conduct of the Government in the
Greek affair. Lord Stanley prefaced the in
PRODUCTION of the motion by a speech Of three
hours. in which he contended that the lead
ing characteristic of this affair, were prevari-
cations, and dshonorabIe on the part of the
Ministry. At the conclusion of his speech.
he was loudly cheered. He made vigor-
Gus appeal to the House, not to all whose

took the defence of Lord Pamerston but with
poor success, as the dividing Ministry were

The bill to abolish the Lord Lieutenancy
of Ireland passed to a second reading, by a
