sepulcllre of selfishness. and our hopes ioS'

bad as being confined in a dungeon, TO be fed

The light of love, admitted through the win

soil of the soul-causes the buds of benevo

to be filled with the ripe seeds of sympathy
Without the genial influence OF love the b :
som freezes and becomes as barren as goo e
pasture in winter. II a flower chances TO
bloom it is destitute of fragrance; or ii it
have any, it wastes its sweetness, as the poet
says, upon the desert air. To be without
love, is like being without fire in winter,
lamp at night and sun at midday. The
heart that never loves, is as hard as brick
bat, as insensible as picked clam TO all the
finer feelings, and stranger to every de-
lightful emotion. An old bachelor, my friends.
whose heart is never warmed with affection,
is miserable nobody in the world. He is as
cold FLOODED as a turtle, and looks just as
melancholy as a clam. His hopes die as soon

there goes another parcel of rubbish into the

To the Voters of Vnnderburgh County

FELLOW CITIZENS: IL am Il candidate for
re election TO the Office of County Recorder
Through your favor l have filled that and
such other offices as usually accompany for
several years. am not aware that my con-
duct as IN officer has ever been impeachcd
except in single Instance and in relation
TO that, beg leave briefly to call our atten
ton.
At the last term Of our Circuit Court, |
most unexpectedly found myself indicted in
two cases for ''exlGrtion" as Probate Clerk.
One indictment was Immediately dismissed
the Prosecuting Attorney heing instructed by
the Court that was right and ne was wrong.
Upon the other. however, l was forced into
trial before, from the very nature of the case,
could be prepared Tor IFS proper defence
The charge against me was that l had re-
ceived more fees than the law allowed me,

in the settlement Of that estate. acted IL
that case as have acted for the last seven
years, and as all other clerks in the State
have acted, fromllime immemorial. AT the re-
quest of the administrator, and as the only
way 10 enable him to settle the estate; fl
nally, received my fees before knew or
could ascertain tier exact amount. In other
words for the convenience OF the administra-
tor, in open Court, and in presence of his
Honor Judge Hopkins, madea rough guess
as 10 the amount of fees that would be due
me when all my services in relation to said
estate should be performed. Ii was the sus-
picion that had guessed wrongly, for which
was indicted. Ii was then known that
would be candidate for Recorder. But |

The Great Drubbed,

The candor OF Mr.. Clark, Of the Republi-
can, borders upon folly or extreme simplicity.
On Monday our much respected and vera
cious Junior put in a small paragraph IN
itself capital and rery hard hit, in the real
Prentice style, at MIR. Clark-the severer
hit because it was "founded on TACT" Mr..
Clark, who was the eye-bunged individual
alluded to. took il so much to heart, that he
exposed himself to the ridicule OF publish
ing a card signed by his individual name! In
this he acknowledges having received
"drubbing" and that from Democrat, al
though he says nothing Of that part-but
denies having been thrashed because he was
Whig which he says was not the case;
but for betting on Wing! To use his own
language, he says-''the drubbing which the
Journal alludes TO. originated from mlsun-
Outstanding in regard to the amount oil the
purse to be put up, and not on account oil
political differences" So he did get'drub-
beds is all we suppose the Juniors hon.
or demands In the way Of public confess
sion. Mr.. Clark we suppose has proiiied by
the lesson-not TO bet in opposition to his
own parly's candidates, and thus study his
politics more and pocket less. 1t affords us
much qualification o hear that he has no per-
sonal fear ofourself. We should feel extreme
~ sorry to see a man Of Mr.. Clark's size,
dodging around corners and up allies in fear
Of so little a speciman of humanity as the
modest and retiring Senior of the Journal
because he would certainly be miserable
object of pity. Yet we advise him not to
come 10 misunderstanding in regard &c
the amount of a purse to be put up" between
us, as Fate has decreed and illustrated by
one experiment he will most certainly ge
damned like the dickens

Sickness.

We have heard Of no death by the ChoIera
in this city for several days, yet there is much
sickness from other diseases. This summer
until the last two or three weeks, Evansville
has been very healthy. On Monday there
were five or SIX deaths, and yesterday we
heard OF a number of serious cases o. sick
ness. We predicted several weeks back,
that il the hot weather continued we were
then experiencing, and which has contin-
ued until the last day or two, there must
inevitably be much sickness as the re-
suit. Evansville is by no means an excep-
ton. So far as we can learn there is scarce
ly a town or city on the Ohio river which is
not more sickly at this time, or which has not
been during the last two or three weeks.
than at any time during the season. From
Cincinnati and Louisville down, this appears
TO be the fact. We think the recent chance
in the weather, although it is yet warm, will
prove beneficial.

%Speaking Of papers going into mourn
ing for the death Of the President, the Wa
bash Express says!
''No one. with single exception has so
far shocked the public feeling as to omit this
universal custom, except the paper published
here purporting TO be the organ of Democra-
cy in this quarter. People may make their
own conclusions whether this comes from
party malgnity, or is intended as public in
suit to the friends of the late President
We would remind the Express that there
was one other paper just as dlsgraceful to the
President and his friends through this neglect,
as that alluded to above. 1t also is a Demo-
cratic organ, and published in Evansville.

There is nothing. perhaps, which more
strongly characterZes an intelligent people
than the posture Ct composure they are GER
tain to maintain in the midst of causes of anx-
iety and corhmotion. When events take
place of vast Importance uncertain in their
consequences, and wholly unexpected, such
a nation holds itself in equilibrio, and calmly
looks abroad upon the altered scene.
An event of this description, mournful in
itself doubtful in it's effects; yet pregnant with
grave influences, now afflicts our Country
The first impulse Of every one is to reflect
We have met with great loss. but the Re-

a great and good man, aud the nation loved

been buried in his grave. Strong men sur

wealth is safe.-[ Ne1ark Daily Adrertisr.

SfoP My PAPER-When we see man

worthless. In regard to this subject, the

SAM'L T. JENKINS, Esq. In answer to
your enquiry whether the above bill is cor
rect or not, can only say that according to
my recollection, there is no item in it which
is not usually charged. Some of them as
well as a great many other fees, usually
charged, (tut not charged in the ahcve bill,
owing to the estate being settled with much
delay in litigation.) are not mentioned in the
list Offices in the revised laws of 1885, But
from the fact that they have been usually
charged a"d paid without question infer that
there must be some authority for it either
