mr. Hannegan.

Mr.. Polk appointed, and the Senate con-
fined the nomination. ofthe following worthy
character to an important German mission
He was paid $4,000 for his outfit and first
years salary The Boston Daily Advertiser
publishes the following extract from letter
written by an American Of high standing in
Berlin:
g But all things are tame beside our Minis
ter. Hannegan. He is the most mannerless|
and utterly vulgar man ever met. Though
now recovering, he has during considerable
time been almost dying of detiTluD1 tTen1enS
His presence here is the greatest possible dis
grace to our country. l cannot mere tell you
about him; the stories which are current,
and unhappiIy authenticated surpass all be-
lief His manner anC conversation are I'M
endurable his debauchery with women so
gross and continuous that the servants in the
hotel are scandalized. In coming across the
frontier he sWore and quarrelled with the
police who demanded his passport, attracted
a reat crowd, and, after long abuse, flung
the pass at last in the officers face. He was
so insane in his hotel, with deLlrWm tren1e11s,
that he thought himself pursued by iends
from hell, and prosecuted by women whom he
saw in the stove and everywhere about room.
The figures in the pictures on the walls, he
insisted moved about and Knocked him. He
opened his windows and called in crowd Of
persons to assist him in driving out magma
nv women; and was one day taken up for
dead, so far had his disease progressed"
With the N. Y. Tribune, we think not all
the blame should be laid on this miserable
representative of American interests. If the
President did not know his character before
he was appointed Minister, he should have
known it, and those Senators who voted for
his nomination certainly did know him to be
a drunkard. He was a Senator from this
State, when he received the appointment, if
we mistake not While at Indianapolis,
candidate for reelection to the Senate, he
got beastly drunk. The Tribune says he was
drunk ali the way to Washington, and was
fearfully drunk upon and after his arrival at
Washngton-so drunk that he did not take
his seat for several days after his arrival
and he was drunk good part of the session
thereafter. Indeed, if drunkenness may ever
be properly urged as an excuse for bad &C
ton, many of his brother Senators who vot-
Su Ioi Ais HoLdA1flIIOI may SACuSS tIItII.s6tFtS
for the act by the plea of inebriation, as
many Of them were in like condition with
himself on the night Of his confirmation, and
it is said the champaign supplied and paid
for by him, was the cause Of their obfuscation.
And this was the man, who more in compli-
ment to Indiana than for any merits of his
own, received the important appointment
from the Polk administration. He is but
sample of some of the public officers the pres
ant administration is removing. The good
work l0iIL go on, Notwithstanding the rawlings
of the Democratic press, till all such officials
are guilliotined.

The Sable EEarrnonists.

Lloyd's popular band of Harmonists, known
the country over, will give their second and
last concert this evening. Their engage
ments at Louisville and Cincinnati will pre-
vent their remaining longer here. To those
who attended their exhibition last evening, it
is useless to commend their efforts. They
rank far above the ordinary band of Harmo-
nists. and have among their number several
excellent singers and musicians, and the best
/" Shakespeare Dancer" in the West. There
is nausic in their singing as well as much fun
and far better music than is heard at the
concerts of many "Families" of Ministries
travelling over the country. Let then the low
ers of music and fun attend to-night-ladies
and ALL Concerts and places of amusement
are not so common in Evansville, but what
those which are really good, should meet with
a liberal patronage.

1t becomes our duty this morning to record
one of the darkest murders that has ever dis
graced the history our State.
Mr.. Cepter Everett, late Of the State Of
Ohio, is thea unfortunate victim. He has
been but short time among US and has al
ways proved himself an honest and peaca-
Die citizen.
The deceased left his home some time in
the early part of this month TO visit some of
his neighbors on business. expecting to return
on the following day; but failed and after
some days his relations became alarmed at
his absence. and instituted search for him
which proved ruthless. Finally, a writ was
issued for one James Freer, who had threat
ened his life. Freer was brought to trial on
last Saturday. and was recognized to appear
at the May Term of our Circuit Court
Since then suspicion has been so stropp
against Freer that search was continued
which resulted in the finding OF a pair of
drawers which Everett wore from home {;
and the party were attracted by the sight of
buzzards. not far distant from where the
drawers were found; after short reconnoitre
the body was discovered, somewhat mutilat-
edand picked by the buZZards.. The drawers
and body were found but a short distance
from Freer's house.
We hope for the sake of humanity that
the perpetrators of this dabolical act may
be ierreted out, and be punished to the end
OF the law.
Reports are current that Freer had threat
encd the life of the deceased, for entering
his improvement and upon this ground the
writ against F'reer was issued.-(W lNetri-

EXTRAORDINARY STEAM ExPLosIoN.-On
Tuesday night week the people of Greenville.
near Norwich, Conn, were reused from sleep
by the shock of the explosion of two great
steam boilers used to cleanse rags for a paper
mill. The boilers were. filed with rags. wa
ter, and bleaching powders, so that the entire
weight of each boiler was about eight tons.
The steam was generated in boilers situa-
ted some seventy-fve feet distant, and con-
Quoted to the rag boilers by an IRON pipe, so
that there was no fire under or about them
The cause of the explosion is therefore inscru-
table. The watchmen of the adjacent mills
saw the largest boiler flying over their heads
like balIoon-it rose to an immense height,
and then descended to the earth with a con
cussion that shook the solid ground.
The Norwich Courier says it was found a
thousand feet distant having been carried
sheer over the high factory buildings, the ca
nal, railroad, and telegraph line beyond the
railroad and set down much in the same posi-
ton as that in which it stood before common
cling its grial voyage. A portion OF the bot
tom had dropped out but in other respects
it looked nearly as good as new, except that
the bottom end was badly crushed by the vi
Client manner in which it was brought up all
standing"

Congress-.

The Wimot Proviso, has been killed off for
the present The North has made some sac
rifces, and we think the South will exhibit the
same spirit. With this spirit of mutual con
cession, there is every prospect of happy ad-
justment of those difficulties founded upon
sectional feelings, which have threatened the
dissolution of the Union. Mr.. Clay's great
speech has wrought conciliatory influence,
which is felt not only in Congress- but will be
extended throughout the Union. Units effects
we look for the happiest results.
Congress is now becoming field of more
active labor than it has yet been this session,
and it is time, for thus much cf the session has
been principally spent in political wrangIings.
There are important matters to be settled, for
which there is bat comparatively little time
left; but not much can or will be done, until
the California question is adjusted.

The North CdroIinian tells the following
anecdote of on old farmer, of that region, who
had tried the plank road:
He was at first much opposed to the plank
road and thought it would be a waste of
money to build it. But he came to Fayette-
vile with his wagon and produce, and drove
on it some miles When he got back to
Chatham, our merchant friend asked him if
he had seen the plank road ? Yes" he said
''he had seen it." "Well, did you drive on
it?" yes" ''%Vell. don't you think you can
carry four times as much weight on it with
your four horse team, as on a common road2"
"Oh yes" says he, otis first rate; and it's
fact that when the wagon got to the end of
the planks and struck the heavy dirt road,
every horse stopped and looked round"

-The statement the Advertiser rela-
i've to the cause of the late Gen. Harrison's
removal from his office Of Minister to Bogota,
is about as true as the ISLANDERS which the
same writer used to assist in propogating at
N. Albany in 1910, against Gen. Harrison.
He is now improved enough TO SANDER the
dead. The communication we published,
should have said that Harrison was recalled
in '29, instead of '49-yet no one buta knave
or ass would have taken it TO be other than a
typographical mistake.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral
worth and professional requirements, will compare
iavorably with the distinguished IN our coun-
try. The Medical Faculty constitutes an anomaly
in this any other counuy-all OF them are able
lecturers and the best OF teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographical
position and the extent of our population, can have
no doubt as to the eligibility OF our situation Tor an
enterprise of the kind As to health, including all
seasons of the year. deny that any other city has
more.
A common error exists in the minds of many stu
dents relative to the place of studying medicine;
those who intend practclng among the diseases of
the West and South should certainly educate them
selves at a school whose Faculty are practically ac-
0uanted with those diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanent I
CIV of this school, feel it duty to state, that
the Trustees and Faculty form a unit in action,
which augurs well for its future success; and that
the peculiar internal organization which connects
them cannot be interrupted. h. w. M. KING,
