The course pursued by the Journal can on
ly result in sinking it lower in the contempt
Of all honorable mem Eng.
We should really think Locofoco editors
in Evansville would get tired of sinking US
on every occasion to'very lowest depths ofin.
i4uity, contempt, infamy, &c. There never
has been Locofoco editor in Evansville Of
effable delight in speaking of some low
depth We have the pleasure of occupying in
tfiefminds of honorable men. Yet very s;ngu-
larly, we enter respectable society on per-
feet equality, occupy our pew in church with
a good conscience, and doa't feel in the least
degree honOrsd by the notice or companion
ship of any man in the community. More
over, the character of the Journal continues
to stand as high as that Of any other paper
id the State. It's assertions arequte as re-
liable, and its opinions quite as much respec-
ted. 1t is very singular fact, that every
Locofoco editor of Evansville who has Ia ken
such vast delight in sinking rs to the very low
depths of some monstrous depravity, himself
ere great while sunk to very low depth
of obscurity. We have outlived some fifteen
or twenty of these fellows, and do not know
but we may be compelled to outlive a couple
dozen more. Some fearful fatality is con.
nected with them. The disease first exhibits
itself, in their attributing absurd and wicked
motives, to everything the Journal says
Uhea the editor of the Journal is consigned
to some miserably low depth. From that
stsge,a galloping consumption sets in, every
case Of which. thus'far, the best and most lib
eral political physicians in the place shave
failed to arrest, and the victims departed ma
king desperate appeals to the last moment,
for help. These physicians seem almost
afraid to touch another patient, who has al.
ready exhibited the fatal marks. They don't
like to be bled themselves so often, to save
the lives of others. If our neighbor grows
sny worse, the symptoms twill be palpably
manifest, in his sinking us to some other
depths, and accusing US Of wicked misrepre.
sertations, abuse, &c. Watch him.

EmQuoReKS8
As to hostility to Gov. Wright, we have
not the slightest. We are not going to lend
ourselves to any faction. We support the
nominee of Democratic convention whoev-
er he may be, md we stand by Democratic
officers SO long as they do their duty.
81 Enquirer.
Our neighbor has been harpng upon his
independence of party, sect or individuals, in
the most fulsome terms Of extravagance for
several weeks past; in fact, until he had al
most persuaded US that he was the very soul
Of independence. Gladly would We have
witnessed our neighbours prosperity to the
fullness of his desires, maintaining all the in
dependence he professed. But when We
hear an editor proclaim that che will support
the nominee Of Democratic convention,
whoeuer he may be- his Wanted indepen-
dence sinks into the most abject servility to
party dictation. Gov. Wright will be de-
lighted to know, that the Enquirer has not
the 'slightest hostility" to him, and that it
will graciously allow him to finish his guber-
material term in peace, and support him for
reelection, provided he gets the nomination
OF Democratic convention.

20 The Journal will please excuse us
from tying ourselves to its skirts. We have
no desire to be dragged through puddles of
perversion, misrepresentation and SANDER.
Enquirer,

will be most happy to excuse the appendage
in question from any close attachment to its
posterior garments.

ESCAPE OF YANKEE SULTvAN.-It is repor-

sheriff, on his arrival at Pittsield, on Sun
day, and after knocking down four men who
attempted TO retake him succeeded in making

single handed, then there would be no use Of
the entire police of Pittsield trying it again.

Pike County.

Pike county was organized in 1917, and
was named in honor of Gen. u. NJ. Pike, who
fell at the capture of York, on the 9th Of
A pril, 1913. White river forms the North
ern boundary, of the county, and it contains
337 square miles. The face of the countrysis
either level or gently rolling. Some OF the
finest farming lands in the state are compris-
ed in this county. The soil in the estern
part of the county,is generally rich dark
loan, with mixture of sand, while the large
bottoms which compose nearly one-sixth Ut
the county, are of unexcelled fertility, and
probably produce as large crops of corn as
any part of the Great West. The eastern
part of the county is better adapted to gra-
zing than the production OF heavy grain crops.
The surplus products OF the county consist
of corn, wheat, oats, pork, beef, horses, &c,
the annual value of which has been estima-
ted at two hundred thousand dollars. The
county is well timbered, and watered by
White and Patoka rivers. 1t also contains
abundance of good coal; and there are, at
convenient distances throughout the county,
saw and crist mills. Blacksmiths, Carpen-
tiers, MasOns, Coopers. Wagon and Coach
Makers, Tanners, Saddlers, Timers, and 9TH
er mechanics, are hardly as numerous as the
wants of the community demand. The
Merchants and Physicians, are of the right
kind. =. r
Petersburgh, the seat Of justice Of the coun.
ty, is situated on the Canal, one mile south
OF White river, and four and half miles
below the junction of the East and West
Fork. 1t was laid out in 1917, and named
after Peter Brenton, who made the principal
Donation for obtaining the county seat. The
first settlers were John Mcintyre, Thomas
c. Stewart, Peter Brenton, Thomas Mead,
Thomas Case, and John Finn. The stua.
ton is very fine one, on an oval elevated
plain, and the surrounding country is very
fine. For number of years, Petersburgh
made little or no increase in populat;as or
wealth, on account Of the difficulty of ing ress
and egress Of trade; but now that the canal
is completed, the town presents unmlstaka.
BILE evide nces of a growirF ,erity. We
observed that number spjildings were
in course Of construction, among them
two churches, and spacious warehouse.
The new county jsil, the foundation of which
has just been laid, will be one of the finest in
the State, and when complete, the county
will be we'll supplied with public buildings.
The facilities for navigation afforded by the
canal, have already given a new impulse to
trade and stimulus to prosperity. Wheat,
oats, and other articles of surplus products,
which hitherto could only be carried off by
the uncertain navigation of White river,
now 90 out by canal at any time. With
these advantages, and the prospect of q great
Railroad through her territory, the future Of
Pike county must be bright one. The en-
ergies of her people will be drawn out, new
sources of wealth will be opened up, and
general prosperity will be the result.

day. Yesterday, no less than four women,
each with childin her arms, called at his
house, and of courseIa tremendous domestic

had been deserted by him, under the promise
OF marriage. There was no possible means
of reconcling and compromising a difficulty
of such nature, but an emigration to Utah,
and marriage of the whole four. That
mode, however, was not suggested, and no.
thing was left to them but to uphraid him
