HEAVY SwINDLING AND FoRGERY.-Du.
ring the past season speculatorin Licking
county, Ohio, borrowed there upon his own
paper endorsed by several of the most respon-
sbie men of the county, $4,000. This
amount he invested in hogs and SON applied
to the lender for more funds. The applica-
ton was decl ned, and, soon after, the
lender received from a New York firm
letters inquir;ng in regard to the responsibility
oil the man who had endorsed the paper held.
His reply was satisfactory, and the specula-
tor obtanei adya ices from the New York
firm 10 the amount of $4,000. One day he
''came up missing and the fact was ascer-
tanned that the endorsements upon his paper,
and upon which he had obtained credit for
$4,000, were all forgeries! We under
stand that he paid up the $4,000, but that
the New York item is left unprotected.

STEAMER EMMA WArTs.-In consequence
OF a rumor gaining circulation here that this
boat was not sea.worthy, capt. Brown has
obtained the opinion of Messrs. DeHart &
Sands, Steamboat Inspectors, at the port OF
Louisville, which are as follows
premium on Emma Watts, for Wabash
same as other boats. She rates here third
No. 2, good. K. DEHART.
Mr.. SANDS also gives an opinion not es-
sentally different from MIR. DeHart.
From the foregoing it would appear that
the Emma Watts is considered by steamboat
men, at least as safe as any of the boats in
the trade.

CITY OF EVANSVILLE.
THURSDAY MORNING,:::::MAR 2
Matters at Warrington.

The proceedings Of our National Councils
and Of the multitude OF government agents at
Washington, cannot but be read with painful
interest by every honest man, and true lover
Of American institutions, throughout the
Union. When we hear ofour high junction.
aries being accused of personal ambition, and
of plotting measures for self-aggrandlzement
alone, under the name and in behalf of great
national interests, and behold further that
their efforts are devoted to the support of
measures totally devoid of intrinsic merit,
national utility, or patriotic principle, we are
forced to the humliating conclusion, that the
true objects of government and legislation,
are sacrificed upon the altar ofunworthy per-
sonal ends. Measures are now offered, and
the first object of their advocates appear to
be to secure the might, regardless Of means
to effect their adoption. Bribery, trading
and governmental structures are all applied
and the "you tickle me and I'll tickle you"
policy is fully endorsed and practiced. The
present Nebraska bill, illustrates the idea,
and SO far as the policy of its managers has
come to light, deeper, darker and more cor
rupt game of legislative swindling is exposed
than ever disgraced the Hall OF our National
Legislature. Members are bought and sold,
guzzled, oystered and cujoled in its support, or
to desist opposition to a bill, which their
more honest and independent constituency
have frowned upon and considered as infa-
nous and unjust. But the din Of legislative
wrangling, and the glare of promised prefer
ment dims the eye and understanding of the
poor victimzed member into forget.ulness of
his obligations to his constituency, himself
and his country's interests. That such is the
true unvarnished condition Of things at Wash
ington, the public are daily furnished with the
most undeniable assurance.
The style of legislation now going on a,
Washington, is obviously the legitimate pro.
ducton of the administration, and its leading
kindred spirits in Congress. Douglas, Petit
g. Co., are fit advocates for such treacherou.
and unprinciFled measures as the Nebraska
fraud. They have little reputation to loos;
at home, and can gain the full price which
Southern Fire-eaters and Disunionists vii
pay for their besotted souls, aud perfdious ser
vices. That both are truant to their constit
uency recent demonstrations of public senti
ment in their districts most conclusivel,
proves. The former is no doubt actuated b,
high selfish motives, paramount in his estimt
ton to any obligation lie owes to the freemeI
whose confidence he betrays, while the latte
is only the subtle tool oil those whose perfdy
his natural instincts would prompt him to EN-
ulate. Indiana and Illinois are in bad hands
and until the people can be again hear'
through the ballot-box no change Tor the bet
ter need be expected.

RUSSIAN PRIvATEERs.-It was recently
that several Russian officers were
in the United States examining the naval and
mercantile marine of this country, with view
to the purchase of vessels for the Russian
service. The Courier des Etats Unis says
that these officers have enrolled men and ne
gotiated for vessels for privateering in the
Russian interest against the nations opposed
to it in the impending European war. The
Courier says:
A small number of agents, selected with
extreme skill and care, were first enrolled,
and then launched amongst the crowd of mar
i:ine adventures and others, who have
swarmed for some years past on the soil OF
the American Union. Through their medi-

the cadre of equipment almost decided upon

THE GROWING WHEAT CRoP.-We learn
from some of the farmers that there is fear
that the growing wheat crop has been consd-
erabIy injured within the past four weeks by
coating of ice, which has covered it most of
the time since the December and January

been killed by the ice, but whether the roots
are effected cannot be ascertained until warm
weather sets in. We trust the fears are un.
founded. II Detroit Ado.
