So far as Me-. Gavitt is concerned, il the
Journal has now found that all the praise it
bestowed upon him was false, why don't it
say SOL 1t admits that it published articles
in his praise to aid his election. rather than
because they were merited.-lEnq.
We have admitted no such thing, bot on
the contrary have directly said, we published
articles in praise of Mr.. Gavitt, because he
had done his duty and manfully. We do not
admit one word Of our praise was false. but
we do say, that after having thus assisted
him to reelection, more han any efforts Of
the Enquirer could possibly have done, and
our paper being of the same politics he has
heretofore claimed for himself, and the En-
quirer being opposed to him in principle, and
in cord until just before the election, he
should have in justice given his patronage to
the Journal Office. We say so still, and
there is not an honest man in the communi-
ty, but who must think SO.

Col. R. B. Carpenter, a lawyer of con.
siderable reputation, was assassinated yes
terday morning, in Covington. II is rumored
that he had made improper advance to the
wife of Mr.. N Il. Perkins, highly respecta-
BILE gentleman, who owns the line of omni-
buses running to Cincinnati, and that this led
to quarrel, which has lasted sometime be-
tween Mr.. Perkin and Mr.. Carpenter. Mr..
Carpenter was standing in front of Post
Office, where large crowd had collected,
when Mr.. Perkins came up and without
speaking, drew revolver and commenced
firing at Mr.. Carpenter. The first ball
struck him on the abdomen, but did not break
the skin. The second ball entered Mr..
Carpenters throat, and causing a terrible
wound, passed almost through the neck,
lodged just under the skin. The third pail
missed entirely.
Mr.. Carpenter fell to the ground, and Mr..
Perkins was arrested TO await an examina-
ton. Mr.. G. was taken to DIR. Backburn's
office, and he, with Prof. Events, extracted
the bal, and gave the required medical at
tentons.
Mr.. Perkins was in the afternoon examin.
ed before Squires Beal and Stogdale, aud
held in $4,000 bonds, to answer for the Of.
tense of shooting with intent to kill. Car
penter was not bead at late hour last even
ing. Should he die, the charge against Mr..
Perkins will be change to murder.
Public sympathy is in favor of Perkens,
and he had no difficulty in procuring the re.
pured ball.-[Cin. Columbian, 1914.

some.n,ng worthy of Attention.


We are DESTROYS of calling the attention
of people in the river towns below, and
other places convenient, to the superior fa-
cilities offered by the Evansville and Craw-
louisville Railroad, and other roads in con-
nec,ion, for receiving freight from Cincin.
natl. Our road is now in running order to
Terre Haute, where we have direct connec-
ton by railroad with Cincinnati via. Indiana
polls. While the river is in its present con-
dition, which is even better than it has been
during the entire summer, this railroad offers
not only great advantages to northern bound
travel, and to the travel seeking the south,
but is also really the cheapest as well as
speediest channel for freight. Travellers
can at present, by taking this road, be land
ed at Cincinnati in thirty-six hours, and
when the road becomes properly settled, they
will leave Evansville in the morning and
reach Cincinnati. in the evening. They thus
escape a long delay on the bars Of the Ohio,
and long confinement in small and uncom-
Portable boats, with bad fare and high prices.
But we wish now to particularly alude to
the advantages of this road to merchants and
others at Henderson, and other neighboring
towns on the river, for receiving goods, &c.
The best way to impress the advantages of
this road at the present time, over the river,
is to tell something of what has been done.
We select one case as illustration enough
Messrs. Lewis g. How ard, Of this city, re-
ceived'las week lot of dry goods, salt, &c.
from Cincinnati, by railroad, for house at
Henderson. The goods were received here
in quick time and good order, and few hours
afterwards were landed at Henderson by
steamboat. They were not half the time on
the route they would have been by river,
no insurance was necessary, and the charges
were less than by river at this stage of wa
ter. A part of this freight was barrel salt
The price per barrel from Cincinnati to Ev.
ansville was 81 rs, and from here to Hen.
derson 80 cents per barrel, meking 81 So
from Cincinnati to Henderson. The same
boat which carried the salt from here &c
Henderson had on board lot of salt for tina
place from Louisville. She charged freight
on this salt at the rate of 81 SO per barrel
while by railroad the charge from Cincin
natl to Henderson was only 81 SIS. and nj
risk run. We might give other illustrations
but this is more applicable to the purpose
as is enables us to make a direct comparison
We recommend the whole matter TO the at
teniion Of those interested. At some futur,
time we shall give some facts in connection
with this subject. But we are satisfied tina
they will find this road Of greet advantage I,
them at times both as channel of travel an,
of freight.

Horrible Affair ,Owcnsv,lIe.

We learn that last Tuesday horrible az
fair came off at Owensville, Posey CO. 1t
en- their hogs to town, and were having them
at the old Warrick House. Two
men got to .quarreling, when one, named
Jordan, was pitched into large vat of boil
water by the other. He was got out quickly
as possible, but was very badly scalded and
probably will not recover. The other was
sought to be arrested, but he made a desper.
ate resistance, and finally escaped over the
Wabash.

Educational Circular To the Teachers
OF Indiana.


A strong desire has frequently been ex-
pressed that State Teachers Association
should be formed in this State, and that meas
ures should be taken to effect such an organ
ization at the earliest practicable period The
undersigned, Professional Teachers, in accor-
dance with their own feelings, and at the sug-
geslions OF many others engaged with them
in the great cause OF Education, have, through
a Committee, made arrangements for such a
Convention; aud are happy to announce to
the Teachers of Indiana that said meeting
will be held in College Hall. in the city of In

lgious institutions Of our Country" by Rev.

that none of our professional brethren in this
commonwealth will tail TO be present to en-
JOY it.

ington street, where arrangements will be
made 10 provide them with suitable accom-

to regret the necessary expenditures OF time
and money to attend the Inauguration of the
Indiana State Teachers Association. We
also, assure all who may be present, that
they will not meet Il more cordial greeting
from any Of their professional conductors, than
from the undersigned.

the day of the notorious BLACKBOARD who ed
tied the Vanderburgh Democrat, to the day
of that very similar individual or fellow who
publishes the Evansville Enquirer, "dog

we have been accustomed to coarse epithets
in the place OF reason, vulgar abuse as re-

scurrlity and backguardsm to hide defeat.
And we shall expect this kind of treatment
so long as there is a dirty Locofoco editor in
