Coming Back,

A letter from Mr.. Teliga, the Daguerreo-
type Artist, informs US that he will return to
Evansville next week, with the intention of
making this his place of residence for some
time He will take large and handsomely
located room, admirably adapted to the pur-
pose He writes that he will bring the very
finest stock in the Daguerreotype line, ever in
Evansville, with elegant lockets and breast
pins. We know him TO have the means and
taste to do this. A Daguerreotypist of the
merit of Mr.. Teliga will, we are sure, do a
good business the whole summer in Evans
vile. Numbers were disappointed in not be-
ing able to obtain hkenesses, owing to his de-
parture so soon ; and several persons came to
the city from a distance back in the country
to get Daguemeotypes. But all will soon
have an opportunity of getting handed down
to posterity on plate.

DELEGATES TO PHE CoNvENTIoN.-Du-
ring the discussion of the bill providing for
the call of Convention to revise, amend and
alter our Constitution last winter, members
OF the Legislature of all political parties ex-
pressed the desire that the selection OF dele
gates TO such Convention should be made
independent OF party considerations. 1t was
for this reason that many advocated the poll
cy of having the election OF delegates to take
place on the first Monday in April. 1t was
thought that the political excitement conse-
quent upon the election of members of the
Legislature, and the county officers in Au-
gust would thus be avoided, and the people
felt free to select delegates on account of their
fitness for the trust, uninhuenced by any 9TH
er reason. The fist Monday in August was,
however, fixed for the election of delegates;
and, already we see the Democratic State
Central Committee issuing their mandate to
the faithful, commanding them to make par
ty nominations of candidates. This. at once.
if carried out, will render the election of del
egates mere matter of party strife. Wheth-
er or not the wishes of the Central Commit
tee will be regarded by the rank and file of
the patty, remains to be seen.
The Democratic Central Committee for
this county have fixed upon the 18th day of
next month for the assembling of county
convention for the nomination of delegates to
the Convention and the other places to be
filled at the August election
We understand there is great dIssatlsiac-
ton among portion Of the Democratic mas
ses, in relation to the nomination Of delegates.
They desire to be left free to vote according
to their individual notions of fitness and with
out regard to party dictuuon, and hence are
opposed to party nomination of persons to
represent them in the Convention. Should
this feeling be as extensive as represented, we
would not be surprised at a failure, on the
part of the Convention, when assembled, tc
make nomination of candidates for delegates

For the Journal.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I take advantage of your
prefer of the columns of the Journal to those
deslrous of talking about Temperance and
License matters, to ask question. The
most prominent temperance man in this city,
one of the most ultra, and one who has been
most forward in the difficulty between you
and the Sons of Temperance-who will go
almost any length in support of his "princi-
pies ''-is a candidate for Office at the ap-
preaching City election. AS candidate for
another Office, is another Son of Temperance.
So far-eood. l respect them the more for
being members of this Order. But wish to
ask the Sons of Temperance in this city,
frankly and openly, what they think OF that
devotion to principles which will allow
these brethren to declare in their announce
ments that if so instructed by the vote of the
city, they will vote for License? In respect
to those opposed to License, l ask this ques-
tion-and | ask it of men, the majority of
whom presume occupy the same position in
regard to the question. Here are men oppos-
ing License on moral Notwithstanding an
Editor because he has in a business manner
alluded to places where liquor is sold-yet
now, strongly as they are pledged by word
and deed against License, they say they will
sacrifice their principles if thus instructed by
the vote ofthe city! lido not deny but that the
Mayor or Councilmen of the city should obey
the instructions, although both of these can

| do say, that entertaining and so warmly
such opinions about License, no man should
voluntarily place himself In position where
he will in all likelihood be called upon to VIC
late his principles, and render absurd and ri
diculous all his professions. There is an In
consistency about this, that exhibited in per
sons of less, standard character, would render
them liable to the charge of loving Office more
than principles. If elected without any sucf
promises, and the majority of their constitu
ents requested them to vote for License. rath
er than sacrifice their principles, they SHOULD
resign, although believe both members have

tons, and the other signfying the same il
case he should be instructed to vote for Ii
cense.
call the attention of Sons of Temperance
to this inconsistency, not 10 influence any in
to changing their votes, but that they ma,
see, that those: or the one, who led them int
the ridiculous attack on the Journal, by whic
nothing certainly was gained, are not so re
markable for consistency as for enthusiasm
and are more guilty than the little Edito
whom they have been DESTROYS of annihiIat

FThe race of the steamers Bostona and
Belle Key excited considerable interest in
New Orleans, on the eve of their departure
from port. From the high reputation of the
Belle Key, bets were made at large odds in
her favor. The levee was crowded with
persons to see the boats start out, and the
mammoth steamer Atlantic was densely
thronged with people. Just as the Belle
Key started, the crowd on the deck of the
Atlantic became so dense as to cause the roof
to break in with a tremendous crash, and
many persons were more or less injured in
cluding Captain Oglesby, the captain of the
boat.
The boats forgot to stop at many of the
usual landing places, and the Belle Key
brought both freight and passengers destined
for Evansville, to this port making no stop
there whatever Lou. Courier.
Passengers for this city were landed a
different points on the river by both boats
the nearest point being six miles. They
made their way here as they could, with The
excitement of the race pretty much subdued
so far as they were concerned.

GEN. Tay1Or,s Plan.

All the schemes ofpoliticians, or statesmen,

relates to California, seem to be revolving in

manner and person, which these enemies have
sought to bring in as evidence of his unfit
ness for the exalted station he occupies-he
has proven that he knows better what the
people want. than some of our best states
men-and that his common sense views ofthe
exciting subject, stand a fairer chance of be-
ing adopted, than any of the finer wrought
plans of others. In the language ola cotem-
porary, the principal merit Of the Presidents
plan is, that whilst it settles the question as
completely as any other proposed, it disposes
Of it in a way to leave the least possible
wound behind. From the warm feeling both
in the North and the South, and the clashing
interests of different sections to be affected by
the adjustment of this question, it is of pecu-
liarly delicate nature. and calls for a particu-
lar policy, that one section of the country
may not seem to gain triumph over the
other in the result
That peace may be restored to the whole
country, and the cord of Union be made closer
and stronger, should be the direct object Of
every plan proposed. The Presidents plan
is one which will do far more than any other
we have seen to accomplish this-and it meets
with more general favor than any other

ers by publishing his California message
Any scheme that promises good results shoald
meet with attention and favor. As such a
scheme, Gen. Taylor's plan appears to be
binding together different sections and divis
ions in Congress, and we believe it will ulti
mately be the ground work of the measure
passed.
In view of this fact, and of other matters o
policy in which the President has been Gale,
upon to speak, in which he has shown wisdom
in his speech, how ridiculous are the intima
tons of his opponents, that he is incompetent
to fill with honor his high office And we

TELEGRAPH DISPATCHES.
BosToN. March %.

Prof Webster's trial has been more pain
fully interesting this, the sixth day, than any
of the previous days. The pecuniary trans
actions of Prot W. have been raked open in
a way to show that there was no truth in
him that he could not have had the money
which he says he paid DR.. Parkman and that
he at first asserted having settled with DR..
P. at a certain time and subsequently named
another time. The deposit of $50 by him
the day after he said he had paid DR.. Parkman
is fact which sent shudder through the
court room. His counsel will have to work
miracle to save him. The details of the ar
rest by officer Clapp, and the interview with
the Rev. Francis Parkman, the brother ofthe
deceased, as related by that clergyman, pro-
duced deep impression. The tameness of
the cross examination was very alarming
Or. Webster seemed to sink as the confidence
in his favor ebbed away. Still we have not
heard the other side.

Bro. John Jingle, Jr., who protests.
Whereas, a committee was appointed by
Temple of Honor Division No. 81, to cores
pond with the Editor of the Evansville Jour-
nal, in order to correct certain statements
contained in the columns ofthat paper, charg-
ing in general terms that certain Sons OF
Temperance had dishonored the Order by
violating their pledges of abstinence; and
whereas said committee addressed commu-

the honor of their Division in reference to the
accusations referred to, which communication

IMPORTANT MAIL DECIsIoN.-The Post
master General has just decided that the diff
ferent departments of the Government are
prohibited from sending letters and newspa-
pers to officers and seamen in the Navy, and
u. S. officers in foreign countries, except those
on official business from the Department. 1t
has been the custom for many years, for the
friends of those persons to forward private
letters through the departments, instead of
through the regular mall and thus depriving
that Department of thousands of dollars an
nually of its legitimate claims. We also
learn that there are some thousands ofletters
now in Washington which will not be sent, as
heretofore, through the Departments.

against this administration. The % thousands
ofletters now in Washington" although they
will not be forwarded through these depart
ments, they will yet be forwarded as letters

letters-by mail. The Sentinel knew well
enough there was no intention of keeping
these letters from their right owners. But
