uS ]. P. Chapman, ESQ.,, has withdrawn
from the editorial management of the Eve.
Republican. He Gays in Saturdays issue:
In thus Withdrawing, only execute pur-
pose which l had in view from the COM
mencement of the last political campaign
should have withdrawn Immediately after
the election, but that thought l might be
able to render some service during the ses.
sion of the Assembly. Whatever be the
opinion Of others, kno,o positively that l
could not do so, because of circumstances
which had no power to control.
So it appears Chapman himself confesses
he did not render any assistance to his party
during the session of the Legislature. This
is what we have been constantly charging
upon him, and rebuking him for accordingly.
We regret to understand that Mr.. Chap
mans health is bad, but wish him a speedy
recovery.

Ola Line Nominations.

We understand that our Old Line Demo-
cratic friends held caucus night before last
with John Smith Gavitt, Esq, Sheriff, Presi-
dent. This meeting nominated Mr.. A. K.
w. Carpenter (who lives in Lamasco city,
for City Marshal. of Evansville, and Mr..
Well. Fl. Walker, for City Clerk, and they
are to be run as candidates of the Old Line
party. Mr.. Carpenter is strong temper
ance man, therefore we think this nomina.
ton will not exactly suit the German CON.
stituency, and may be considered rather an
insult to Col. Drew. Mr.. Peter Burk, who
has announced himself for Marshal, was left
out entirely. The meeting tried to get him
to promise to resign in case he was not nomi-
mated, but Peter respectfully declined ex.
pressing an opinion on that subject. Mr..
Burk having been regarded as the anti-Pro-
hibitory Law candidate, we should think his
friends would not feel disposed to quietly ac-
quiesce in the decision of an Old Line eau.
Gus with one worthy Sheriff at its head, the
gentleman who SO loudly asserted that he was
Wing and nothing else but a Wing, al
though Democratic county conventions might
nominate him for office. We wonder whether
this caucus represented the entire Old Line
Democracy of Evansville.

~ A. few days ago an enthusiastic admi-
rer of Col. Drew's position against the pro-
hibitory liquor law, was taking up subscrip-
ton to purchase tar, &C., for getting up a
torch-lght procession in his honor. II called
on prominent business man at his store, and
wanted fifty cents for that purpose.
81 can't do it, john" replied he;"I didn',
vote for Drew, and don't like his course
and therefore can't subsribe to buy tar to burn
IN his Qualification"
An Irish porter at work close by, who had
slightly misunderstood the object of the sub.
scription, stepped up with considerable en-
tn usasm, and exclaimed:
"And its money We want to buy the things
to tar and feather Mister Drew! Good luck tc
we, an here's silver quarter for that, an
only wish it was bigger to help ye along"
It's unnecessary to say, that after having
the matter properly explained, that quarter
wasn't put into the tar subscription.

tTOne ofthe strongest opponents of the
temperance bill in the Senate, was Colonel
Drew, CT Evansville. The Journal of that
city says he has been retailer Of spir;tuous
liquors. The "milk in the cocoa nut" is &C
counted for.-[ Lafayette Cour.
The Journal says that which is not the
case then. We are informed by several gen.
tlemen who reside in Col. DIS city, that
there is no truth in the above charge.

The Journal said what was precisely cor.
rect, and the editor Of the Sentinel has been
misinformed We don't think the Colone
himself will deny at home being retailer o.
liquor. although he was terribly offended a,

81 Lady correspondent of the New
York Day Book gives the following advice:
"a good barrel of flour, costing $40. weighs
1876 pounds. When in the state of dough it
weighs 305 pounds. When packed 365. Fer
this the baker receives $3.50. His fuel,
labor and other expenses must be proportion
ably deducted. But the housekeeper need
not estimate her expenses for fuel, labor. &c.
They are already part of her housekeeping,
and cannot be charged to the bread meakng
account. So that by buying -four, and max
ing bread at home, in small quantities, the
house keeper will save nearly six dollars in
every barrel.

81 The Enquirer yesterday, and ur as
socate in bis article in reference to Col. Drews
meeting, alluded to Mr.. Marshall as having
been nominated by the House of the late
Legislature, as the Republican candidate
for State Senator. This is an entire mistake.
The Republicans made no nomination for
Senator, having no disposition whatsoever to
accede to the concurrent vote system as Of
fered by the Senate, such system being en-
tirely contrary to all precedent in this State
and not in accordance with the wishes of the
jority of the Legislature. A resolution was
offered at the close Of the session, but not
passed, through the boiling ofthe Old Liners
to 90 into concurrent election three times
and if not successful then in electing Sem
tor. to vote by joint ballot But no man was
elected or nominated by the Republicans.

0-The Evening Post, in commenting on
the documents relating to the Ostend affair,
SAYS:
We should not wonder if. on the publica-
ton of this report and the answer in Europe,
Buchanan and Mason should find their situa-
ton so unpleasant that they will follow
Soule's example and resign their places. AS
to DIR. Mason, he will suffer very little at
home in consequence of the part he has taken
in the matter; but on DIR. Buchanan's politi-
cal standing the effect will be very uufortu.
nate. The report disgraces him both at
home and abroad. We do not recoliect, in
all our historical reading, to have seen the
principle of robbery on great scale more
shamelessly avowed, or with a more COM
plete absence of plausible pretext.

APPOINTMENTS BY THE GovERNoR.-Hon.
James Morrison, Attorney General for the
State.
Hon. John Petit, Judge of the 18th Judi
cial Circuit.
Charles A. Naylor, ESQ, Prosecuting At
torney for the 18th judicial Circuit.
Andrew ]. Netf, Esq. Prosecuting Attor-
ney of the 7th Judicial Circuit.
The above are excellent appointments,
and will give entire satisfaction to all.
State Senti'ae
We should like to know where the Gov
ernor finds his authority to appoint an Attor-
ney General. The 18th section Of the 4th
article of the Constitution provides that
"when during recess of the General As
sembly a vacancy shall happen in any office,
the appointment 10 which is vested in the
General Assembly, the Governor shall fill
such vacancy by appointment, which shall
expire when his successor shall have been
elected and qualified"
The office of Attorney General was crea-
ted by the late Legislature, and by the same
act that created it, the appointment of the Of
| ficer was vested in the General Assembly.
The act was declared to be in force from and
after its passage, because of an emergency
Hence the vacancy occurred during the ses-
sion of the General Assembly, and not dur
ing recess, and that body alone had the
power to fill it. IN exercising the appoint.
ing power, in this instance, il strikes us the
Governor is guilty of an usUrpation in office
not warranted by the Constitution. Ii we
are wrong in this, we shall take it as favor
for some one better posted TO show us GU,
error. The free people Of Indiana are not
yet prepared for an oligarchy, much less fol
king y rule; and they should guard with {
jealous eye, every encroachment of execu
tive power, not clearly within the spirit anC
