The Wholesale Dry Goods Trade of Ev-
ansviIle is rapidly on the increase, and our
merchants are preparing themselves to meet
a larger Fall trade than ever before come to
this city. The inducements for the custom
of country merchants, have been annually
increasing, and never faster than within the
past year. This fall, the addition of new
houses, and the increased stocks Of old houses,
will offer to country merchants probably.as
large and well selected stocks of goods from
which to select as they could possibly desire.
Never, either in goods or prices, will they
have had such inducements offered them be-
fore for trading in Evansville, as the coming
season. They would do well to visit this
city and examine these inducements, before
going to the expense and losing the time,
necessary to visit more distant cities. In
Staple and Fancy Dry Goods, Boots and
Shoes, Hats and Caps, and in all the smaller
: wares requisite for completing their stocks,
they will certainly not be able to complain of
! regards quantity, quality and prices. Fail
and Winter Goods are already arriving, and
is anticipated the season will open earlier
than usual. We have in several articles
written the last year or two, stated the aGva, :
tages offered to the country trade in this r.
gion, for purchasing at Evansville. That
these advantages have long been realized by
many, the large trade which has been done
IN this city heretofore, is abundant evidence
and its rapid increase is still further evil
dence, that these advantages only want to
once be tested to secure the custom of the
experimenters.
u We might extend our remarks in the same
manner to the Wholesale Grocery business,
which is also rapidly on the increase, and will
this Fall offer better inducements than ever
before to the trade of this region.

A National LAWYER.

Judge Douglas has been "down on" Gen.
Scott, on the ground TINT he is not quite law
yer enough to be President Of the United
States. The Washington Republic rather
extinguishes the Judge, and winds up as ft l.
lows:
1t is true enough that General Scott has
not been engaged in trying actions Of assault
and battery and electment, and replevir.
and detinue, in Justice courts in Illinois.
But he has been trying actions on much lar
ger scale, and before tribunals where he might
will learn i'm year more law likely to be use
full to the Chief Magistrate of the United Sta
tes than he would learn in the Illinois sessions
in lifetime There was an action of assault
and battery he tri:d at Cerro Gorde, from the
study of which he learned more Jurisprudence
than involved i'm all the cases OF broken heads
and bloody noses that ever came within the
jurisdiction of Judge DOUGLAS during his
whole career, judicial or extra-judical. so
in the city of Mexico he served the tenant
with ejectment, and had judgment, and pos
session delivered, after the severest kind OF IL
tigaton: and does Judge DuoGLAs suppose the
legal experience General Scott obtained IN
that great suit of commonwealth against COM
monwealth, less valuable than he nigh have
picked up in trying the case Doe ex d. Smith
q. Jones, being an action in which Doe
seeks to eject Jones from Smiths second
story back chamber, which the rogue occupies
without paying rent, and after repeated no.
tees to quit
No. no. General ScoTr has been school.
ed in the neg ,tiations and the litiga,ions of
empires; and his mind has been disciplined in
the studies which men pursue who are fit to
have the direction of empires. He has for
gotten more law than Judge DOUGLAS ever
knew; and on the only constitutional ques-
ton that ever came in issue between them,
the Judge has come off decidedly second best.
We think the Judge had better quit abusing
General ScoTT, and follow the example that
has been set to him by General CAss, whose
gentemanly and decorous conduct in the
campaign not only merits praise but imita-
ton.

d John Petit, the Democratic Elector,
after his failure in Evansville, and backing
out at Princeton and Nincennes, will hardly
venture down in The Pocket again. Res
pectable Democrats and Wigs here, alike
despise and contemn the man, and his speech

his presence before audiences of decent peo-
pie.

What Mad SON Tl.Ous n { of Him.

Gen. Scott gallantly fought his way up to
the highest rank in the army. Every battle
in which he engaged enabled him TO demon
strate his fitness for any duty, however ardu-
Gus or responsible. And after almost every
battle on the Niagara frontier during the war
of 1912, he was promoted for his gallantry. In
the early part of 1912, it was recommended
that he should be appointed Lieut.. Colonel,
President Madison objected to bis youth, but
gave way. Soon after, the same objection
was raised to q further promotion, and so
again and again, until in lSl4,- after he had
by his heroism on the plains of Chippewa,
Lundy's Lane, F.. George &c, excited the
popular admiratiOn-it was proposed to make
him u Major General. Then, as if he saw the
improperly OF longer even seeming to stem
the current of popular enthusiasm, President
Madison exclaimed: Put him down a Major
General. | have done with objections to his
YOUTH" And after the war, Mr.. Madison
thus addressed him. Is it not an abundant
refuta ton of all the vile ISLANDERS row run
ning through the Loco Foco press?-
General Scot: Your conduct in the late war
merited and obtained, in high degree, the
appreciation of Congress and of your coun-
try. In the battles ofChippewa and Niagara,
Upper Canada, in the campaign of 1914 yodr
daring enterprise and gallantry in actions were
eminently conspicuous.
In rendering justic to you, I recur with
pleasure to the report made of those actions
by the military communicable most compe-
tent Judge of your merits. In the battle of
Chippewa he says you are entitled to the high
est praise your country can bestow; and
that we are indebted to you more than any
other person for the Victory obtained in it.
In the battle of Niagara you commenced
the action; and your gallantry in several ell
counters, until disabled by severe wounds, was
equally distinguished As a testimonial of
the high sense entertained by Congress of
your merit in those actions, have the plea
sure to present you this medal

IFThe German Scott Club was largely
attended last Friday night, as usual. Speech
es were made in German and English and
the very best feeling was prevalent. The
Germans are showing that desire to investi-
gate the characters of the candidates, and the
principles of difference between the two par
Ties, from which we hope the best results. All
the Wings ask, is for them to investigate
while leading Locofocos ask them to believe
their word, and without reflection of their
OWE.

as IT he did not know that neither law nor

their grounds as fast as they pillow. Tho
amazing advantages will at once be appa-

who will not think on the subject enough

plOwing for a week, and then when the
whole field is done, and the weed and grass
seed pretty we'll germina,ed, begin to put
in their crop.

ate vegetation; delay loses this to the crop,
and gives the advantage to the weeds and
