Mr. Baymiller, of the Evansville Times,
was in the city yesterday. He has returned
to his desk to hold ''littie Adv" in cheek and
labor ia the good Democratic cause Lou.
TINS, 1874:
Little ADJ" Mr.. Times, is not n foeman
at at all to be despised. His industry and
strange enthusiasm in Whigery's worl;
render him, indeed, formidable. We, how
ever, notwithstanding orr conscious fnferiory
are willing to check him il we can while
we "labor in the good Democratic cause.
And we shall win in the end; for Thrice is
armed who hath his quarrel just Times.
We gladly welcome the Senior of the
Times home. We could not agree exactly
with his Junior. Probably because he i'm
AGNES he knows more than his Senior and
every boly else in this vicinity, combined,
but we hope to continue ''friendly relations
with Charley. If he expects to succeed in
boiling us IN, however, he must rely for that
thrice increased strength, upon something
else than any supposed justice he may i'm
agine clustering about his cause.

The Convention and Nomination.

The Wing Convention which met at Pc
tersburgh on the 10th inst, to nominate
candidate for Congress, in opposition to Mr..
Smith Miller, was certainly most respect,
able assembly as regarded numbers, charac-
ter of Delegates, and their intercourse with
each other in and out of the Convention
Petersburgh was literally crowded with
Wings, who came from the furthermost parts
of the District, as well as in representation o.
nearer neighborhoods. The taverns were
overlooking at an early hour, but the citizens
of Petersburgh, without respect to party
threw open their doors with hospitality
which we are sure many of the delegates
will never forget. Such reunion ofwhigs is
never without its excellent effect. 1t shows
there is deep interest felt throughout the
rank and file of the party, in its welfare
and strong inclination to advance its prin-
ciples by counclings among themselves.
1t is unnecessary to enter into particulars
of the Convention, as we publish the official
proceedings to-day. Mr.. VIM. Reavis OF
Gibson county, was nominated on the third
ballot, and his nomination unanimously con-
frmed by the enthusiastic applause and con-
sent of the Convention. Mr. Reavis is
known personally in nearly every county in
the District, and we hesitate not to say,
there is not man in the District more res
pected by those who do know him, than ne is
nor man whose private virtues better de-
serve this respect. He has elements oi
strength in sound, not shining ability, gene
raj acquaintance, an irreproachabae charac-
ter, good address, untiring industry and ener-
ergy, and hosts of devoted friends. At home
where he is best known, he will undoubtedly
poll o heavier vote than any other Wing who
could have been nominated. Abroad, we
are sure that wherever those among whom
he is now stranger, have an opportunity oil
making his acquaintance e will be immeasur-
ably preferred to his competitor. We deem
it unnecessary at this time to say more in
reference to our candidate, than that a large
Wing Convention has decided him the most
available candidate for this race, and that
those who know him best believe stronger
man could not have been selected from the
popular and able Wings whose names were
before the Convention for nomination.

Abuse Of Er!shEaG -.

An Irishman named Gibbon, respectable
man and good Wing, lately addressed his
Irish fellow-ctizens at Madison, Indiana, on
the subject of the Irish vote and the Presi'
dency. His speeches caused tremendous
hubbub among the so called democracy
because he told his brother Irishmen plain
truths, which were very well calculated to
obtain their support for Gen. Scott. The
Mldsonian abused Mr.. Gibbon 50 scandous-
ly, that when he made speech one night
he invited the editor il present to take seat
at his side, being determined we suppose TO
give him chance to reply if he could do it.
Here is what the Madisonian Afterwards says
in its rage at the man and the influence he
was working:
"He commenced by asking if we were
present, and, upon being answered in the
negative, said, that if we were, he would have
invited us to take a seat beside him. Does
this fellow think that we would have lowered
ourself TO the level of sitting beside him.
No, we don't hold communication nor sit be-
side any such man, whose ancestors took
the brite, and sold the independence of his
country, and who is himself pimp OF the
British Government. Oh TO, we would con-
slider ourself polluted by keeping the crea-
lures company"
That is pretty general abuse of old Irish
men. Now here is what the Banner says OF
two Mr. Gibbons ancestors:
Mr. Gibbons grandfather suffered the pen
atty of death for fighting against the British
crown, and his father had TO flee to the Uni
ted States for being engaged in a plot to
overthrow the British supremacy in Ireland.
The very respectable editor of the Madi-
sonan can't sit by the side of an Irishman
one of whose ancestors suffered death for
fighting against the British crown, and anoth-
er had to leave his country for seeking to
overthrow British supremacy in Ireland!-
Moreover, he casts dirty and disgusting
sheer at these ancestors of gallant Irish
man, by saying:
Years ago, in Ireland, "the penalty Of
DEATH was inflicted for sheep sjtaiiHg! And
many man had to sly to the United States .
to escape that penalty!
This is precious specimen O. how Locolo-
CO editors are apt to talk of foreigners when
their feelings get stronger than their policy.
Thus Locofoco paper in this city couple
years back spoke of Germans-and thus some
would continue to do if they but expressed
their opinions.

One of the Delegates to the Democratic
Convention recently held at Princeton, was
an honest old German barber living at Peters
burgh. He attend the Convention, and was
close observer of all its proceedings, and of
the manoeuvers of his Democratic friends
He and others saw enough, for soon after his
return, he went out in the woods with his
axe, without saying a word to any body, cut
beautiful and tall pole, which he brought to
town. His Democra;c friends no doubt look
ed on with great satisfaction at this exhibition
of enthusiasm on the part of their old ex-dele-
gate to the Princeton Convention, and we
understand some ofthem helped him raise the
pole. The pole was planted before his own
door, and up went streamer to its head,
which unfurling itself revealed the names of
SCOTT AND GRAHAM!
And there that pole is still standing, when
we saw it last week with its colors waving.
The old man is no1c privately and publicly a
strong Scott man!

EXPENSES OF THE GovERYMENT--The Civ
il and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill, for the
present year, as it is reported to the House,
amounts to S5,755, 259. This, as compared
with previoas bills, is moderate, and shows
that the Administration of the Government
has not fallen into the lavish expenditures OF
many of their predecessors. 1t will be in
creased, however before its passage b. a.
mendments' amounting perhaps to another
million-probably not more.
The total Legislative expenses are $780,

Heavy Storm

Last Saturday afternoon we were visited BY
heavy storm of rain with some ''big thun-
der'' and sharp lightning.--A large brick
building on the corner of Locust and Water,
occupied by the |. o. OF o. F., Masonic, and
Sons of II. Orders, was struck and somewhat
injured. The front wall of the building, the
windows, cornishes, &c., were shattered,
though the damage was trfling. The fluid
passed into the |. o. o. F's room, defacing
the furniture considerably. 1t was one of the
sharpest reports we ever heard.

is What good reason can be given for
the act OF the Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives in comforting upon those two i bo-
litionists, Blair and Rives, the exclusive pri-
vllege OF sending their newspaper through
the mails, free of POSTAGE! Does not every
body know that Blair is and has long been
one of the most active Abolitionists in the
United States. and that he has been a chief
agent IN almost every Abolition intrigue!
This monopoly, which the Democratic
House has granted to these two Aboltionists,
Is manifestation of the gratitude which the
Democracy feel for the support of General
Pierce by the Abolition party, and it is ma
nltestation too OF the intense anxiety of the
democracy that the Abolition support of
the Democratic nominee shall not fail or fall
ter TIL the election. BY way of showing
thankiulness for past favOrs and securing fu-
ture ones, the Democracy of Congress give
to the most dangerous Abolitionists in the
nation an exclusive privilege never given to
the newspaper editors and proprietors before
This evinces clearly the dis position of the
congressional Democracy. Let Pierce be cleo
ted, and we shall have Blair and Rives at the
organs OF the Administration, and the Old
Van Buren,, d. T. Butler, and Dix dynasty
VII be restored.--- LoW. .you.

The Journals every respectable young
man." who offered to bet SO ''liberally". on
the result of the present Presidential canvass
called in upon us, too, yesterday. The young
gentleman denies positively that there was
any understanding that the parties should
meet at any given hour. The young gentle
man further says that he is ready and willing
to stand up to his proposition, and will meet
the Journal editor any where at any time to
consummate it. Hurrah for Pierce and King!
Times
Our worthy assistant, who has been con-
Quoting things political, vigorouslyduring our
absence Of few days, says the young man
did promise to be at the Journal Office at a
specified time, and we happen to know from
good authority such was the fact. 1t will
not be necessary for him to make second
appointment, as he mas no desire to bet
But we neither desire to give nor accept chal-
lenges in the Journal If this nature. II only
proves that the parties interested in the bet,
firmly believe what they support by wager.
but it neither proves wrong nor establishes
right. To-be-sure, we do not mean to say
we may not want one or two pairs Of new
boots and a hat next fall, which we are sin :
cerely DESTROYS may be presented to US by
some Locofoco after election-but we don't
bet.

What can the West expect from Pierce
and King, the candidates for President and
Vice President upon the locofoco ticket
They are opposed 70 all Western interests
our rivers and harbors, and poor settlers
we call attention to the votes of these
gentlemen upon the following proposition for
the benefit of the poor settler in the west,
upon which the vote stood, ayes twenty-one,
noes twenty three. (See Journal, Jan. II,
-lo39) "And be it further enacted, that
when any of the public lands of the United
States have remained unsold for the space of
fifteen years after the termination of the pub
lic sales, the same may be entered and pur-
chased by actual settlers, on the following
terms, to-wit: IT a settler is DESTROYS to pur-
chase, for residence, eighty, or less than
eighty acres, he may enter and purchase the
same at fifty cents per acre" No-Frank-
in Pierce, William Il. King. The votes of
the Senators from all the Western States are
recorded in favor Of this human provision
win the West give such men their support!
We predict a negative response at the ballot
box in November Pullman Banner.
