Very bad.

A misunderstanding occurred in the City
Council at their meeting last Saturday night,
which every citizen having the welfare Of
Evansville more at heart, than local uptown
and downtown interests, must deeply re-
greet. We do not deemit good policy for the
important interest in question, occupying the
position it does at present in the public mind,
topublish the facts Of this disagreeable mis-
understanding, although it would be easy to
give them in detail. We may be called upon
at some future time, to give this little episode
in our City Councils history, in its true COL
oring. 1t is no light matter aud the people
with the proper knowledge of the facts, must
50 view it, to coolly propose to sacrifice the
best interests of our city, merely to crafty
personal jealousy and local prejadices, how.
ever honest, and We do not doubt that, those
may be in their activity in such q movement.
But we hope and believe the cause of differ.
ence has BY this time, or soon will be. AMIGA.
bly, settled, as committe was appointed by
the Council to investigate the matter, and a
meeting of the Council was called for las
evening.

Served ZEN Right.

The course of true love don't even run
true after marriage with some couples, as we
shall proceed to illustrate. An Irish lady
down town began to have suspicious her
liege lord was not altogether SO virtuous as
he might be, even batting his love for old
bald face "rot gut" She had borne with his
beastly drunkenness long and patiently as any
little woman with big heart full of devotion
could, but to forsake her bed for the embra-
ces of a vile old prostitute was more than
even she could bear. So with tear in her
eye and a dornick in her hand, she set out in
search of the reprobate last Friday night.
The moon shone brightly, but the wife's
flashing eyes as she neared certain house,
eclipsed the moon. Without even the cere-
mony of knocking, she entered, and found her
beastly husband where he ought not to have
been. She jumped on him with soles about
as heavy with honest leather, rs his soul was
with guilt and "red eye," and stamped him
in the face and mauled him, till he was right
glad to make his escape. She then pitched
into the woman. and in one minute made her
see more stars than were dotting the canopy
above, and winking down on this identical
scene. With good many happily turned
periods in her native language not at all com.
plimentary to her bigger half, she led him
home, wiser and meaner man.
But the end was not here. The same faith
less husband, was the very next night away
from his faithful wife. This time her break.
ing heart lifted itself above earth for consola.
ton, and from high wall she filled her apron
with brickbats, and repaired TO the scene o
her last nights victory. Here she oustet
the miserable destroyer of her peace; th'
brickbats flew and so did the victims-o
at least the husband flew fast as his drunk
en- limbs would let him, but not so fast bu
every now aud then br;ckbat propelled by
: sinewy little arm benin J, bounced off his ug
ly carcase, and told him vigilant enem!
was in his rear. Thus he was moved hom
> in quick time, where we hope he will stay
Oh, that there were brickbat in the hand o
. every amiable wife, to chase naked through
J the world till they reached their own doors
every aduItrous husband!

Gt The Louisville Journal asks the pal.
ticular attention of the Democracy to an ar
ticle in the Freeman's Journal about the
nomination of Mr. Pierce for the Presidency.
We have only room to-day for the Louisville
Journals remarks:
LATE PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN.-.The
Freeman's Journal, the organ OF Bishop
Hughes in New York, is well and extensive
ly known as Roman Catholic paper of
great zeal, considerable ability, and an almost
un bounded influence with the church, and 10
which it speaks. 1t does not coEtine its dis
cussions to theological or church matters, but
has much to say in relation to politics, and
has often exerled powerful influence in the
promotion of the fortunes Of the Democratic
party.
In the last number of the Freeman's Jour-
nal we find a remarkable exposition OF the
secret plans and Vaccinations that resulted in
the nomination of Gen. Pierce for the Presi-
dency. We should scarcely have expected
such an exposition to come from a journal,
which, whenever it has taken sides in poll
tics at all, has favored the Democratic party,
but this exposition is true, we doubt not, in
every particular. Some OF the crcumstan-
ces we ourselves mentioned nearly n year
ago rs unquestionable facts, and others we
have repeatedly spoken of az matters of con-
lecture. Gen. Pierce was not brought for
ward for the Presidency by the Democratic
leaders in fair, open, honest, and honorable
manner-he was palmed upon the party by
trick, by stratagem, BY deceit oy fraud. Ar
rangements were made and carried into
effect under false pretences. The whole Cir
cumstap noes of the nomination, from the be.
ginning to the ending, were as stupendous a
political cheat as ever was devised bya set
of selfish unprincipled schemers. Ard we
can with truth add that the character of Gen.
Pierce's administration has been thus far.
and is likely hereafter to be in first-rate keep
ing with the character of his nomination.
A candidate nominated and elected as he
was might we'll be expected such President
40 he is.

Another Change:


What is Democratic doctrine 6n the Paci.
fc Railroad question, is moro than we can
tell. A few days since, we thought it all set.
tied between the Washington Union and
the Cabinet, with the Presidents silent ap'
prevail, that the administration was in favor OF
appropriations BY government for the build
ing of the Pacific Railroad, just as Secre'
tary Davis said in his speech at Philadelpnla'
But there seems to be one great point OF dill.
ference between Mr.. Secretary Dav" ano
the Union. The last article we have seen
in the Union on the subject, says very dis
tincty that there never was any intention on
the part of the Cabinet, to make any portion
of the road running through the &ates-but
that it only intended to make the road outside
of the States, in the Territories. The doc
trine of the administration differs little from
what it did a week ago, on this subject. Its
doctrine now is, as laid down in the Union,
that the General Government Of itself has
no power to build the road Titain any of the
States, but only in the territories; and that
even if the States consented, it could not do
it, for, it says. "if the power does not exist
without the consent Of State, it cannot be
conferred by it's consent"
We advise our Locofoco editorial friends
to keep a sharp lookout, as we are doing, at
the columns of the Union. II they don't,
they will never be able to keep up with the
different changes of the administration on
this Pacific Railroad question. Now there
is our neighbor of the Enquirer-he can't fol
the life of him tell what is or what is moi
democratic doctrine" on this little NATTER
He has not even the ordinary patience to in.
vestigate, but is content to abuse the Whie
party for being just what Democrats aint
while he can't tell what Democrats are or how
they stand.
We have given him for reflection the above
opinion Of the Union, as the present position
of the administration. But as JEFF. Davis il
most excellent authority with our neighbor
we suppose he will be pleased to back Mr.
Davis, and decry the Union and the admins
tration, as having forsaken their first position
Here is what Mr.. Davis said in his speech:
He had said that he was strict construc-
zionist; but he had always Knocked the idea
that the constitution had one construction
within the limits of the United States, and
another outside of them. [ApplauseI He
had always repealed the supposition that this
Government could build road outside of the
United States, and could not build one within
liz. Our constitution was formed to bind the
States together, to provide for the common
defence, to concentrate the power Of all fol
the protection of each, to throw their united
shields over every State, over every locality
over every ship and individual in the Union
How is this difference to be reconciled!-
Will JEFF. Dovis come over to the Union, OF
will the Union surrender to the Secessionist
Will the Enquirer still hang on to Jeff. Da
Wis coat tails, or will it cover itself with the
Union blanket!
