American Securities.

We learn from the New York Enquirer
that the late mails from Europe brought
fresh orders for American securities from
Paris and other cities On the continent
They mostly desire investment in State
loans and six per cent, the ordinary rate Of
interest, is considered ample remuneration
for capital thus invested. This rate is said
to be sufficient to invite liberal orders from
European parties who feel that all govern
ment loans throughout Europe are compare
lively Unsecured. Austria is not only in
cumbered with vast public debt, but her
revenses are insufficient to meet the ordinary
wants Of the treasury. 1t is long time
since Spain has made any pretensions to
punctuality. being already heavily indebted
TO British capitalists for loans made during
the last thirty years. Her bonds are now
quoted at 36@37 per cent. and the price
falling. Portugal is in no better credit
financial history. and her bonds are drug on
the market at Al per cent. The stock that
is the most consistent even in the English
market, is the Russian bonds, which. under
all the existing and unfavorabs crcum.
stances are quoted at par. In this state ci
things it is confidently expected that. with
the growing intercourse between European
ustions and the United States, the substantial
securities of States and solvent corporations
will become better known and more in re-
QUESTION. The railroad and mining interest:
Of the United States, will no doubt be favor
ably influenced by this condition Of European
capital, and it is reported that several loans
have been recently negotiated upon frs
class railroad securities on the most desirable
terms.

For the Journal.
l have seen the characteristic attack upon

By notice 10 another column it will be seen
that the children ofall the schools connected
with the Sabbath School Union are going TO
have a great Picnic tomorrow. They are
going early in the day to the beautiful grove
below the city, near BOdiam Mines, "Ingle'
side Grove" where they will enjoy them
selves generally and take their dinners.
In view Of this latter arrangement we advise
the parents or guardians of every child
to provide the young'uns with basket Of
provisions to aid in the general contribution.
We anticipate delightful time for the
children. If bad weather does not interfere
and we intend if possible to help them have
that happy time. In that case, we hope
there will be full supply of provisions al

are terrible eater! There will be tremen

who has.

Mr.. Hall well knew that John Hewston
was superseded at the unanimous request of
both Fire Companies, the highest authority
for cause to which the Council could look.
[Journal.
Could sny thing be more infamous than
such a charge. What means have we, or has
any one outside of the company of knowing
anything OF their unanimous requests. Such
q thing was never heard OF by us or the pub
lie, until the publication made by this band
of libellers.-G Enquirer.
The editor of the Enquirer had the same
means of knowing the fact that we and every
body had-by inquiry. But it was taken for
granted in saying Hall knep this fact, that
even he would not make charge against the
City Council Of removing man for his pol.
itics, and putting another in his place for the
same reason, and calling the one man CON-
petent and capable, and his successor exact
ly the reverse, alrwithout any examination
of the facts of the case. Yet it now appears
he did this without ever inQuiring as to the
truth of his charges-for if he had inquired
he would have learned that the Chief Engi-
neer was not removed, but only that the re.
quest of the Ere companies that he should
not be reelected was complied with. Mr..
Hall may call this an "infamous CHARGE" but
the infamy lies in the fact, that with the true
condition of things before his eyes, he made
an "infamous charge" in total opposition to
facts against the City Council. His charge
was infamous if he made it without the prop.
er inquiry into the real facts of the case
and it was still more infamous IL after in.
quiry he made it right in the face of plain
truth. He can take either horn of the di.
lena he chooses, but one or the other must
be ais and be will bsjudged accordingly.

You are pretty jack to accuse old

thing, Fusion, Abolition editor has done
more for the fag end party last summer than
did Sanders, of the Evansville Journal, and
to him and his amalgama,ion party the State
of Indiana is indebted for the passage of q
prohibitory Uord save the mark) liquor law,
which establishes directly by its provisions
1920 dram shops, and appoints as many gro
Gerry keepers, being two in each township,
at an expense to the tax payers Of Indiana
OF at least Sl,320,o00, and yet in the face
and eyes of oil this, Sanders has the I'M
blushing effrontery to charge all Old Liners
to be "astradle of whisky barrels." Oh!
Moses. IL Rockport Dem.
We copy the above mysterious paragro phi
for the purpose of ascertaining If we have
any reader sharp enough to unravelit. The
editor OF the Democrat, according to the
best OF our insight into the matter, appears
to construe our paragraph into a charge that
the Old Liners are for the prohibtory law
Not bit OF il. We meant they were ga.
straddle" Of whisky barrels from pure love
of the whisky principle. We are glad to
hear from SO good opposition authority as the
Democrat, that we "done more" for the Re.
publican party than any other editor in the
State. For this compliment we will give
him the following advice gratis-carefully
read the prohibitory law or any other before
criiicising it, then, if honest in comments
you cannot well be laughed at by those who
hare read it. The comments above of the
Democrat prove very conclusively such ad
vice is needed in his case.

U The Evansville Enquirer complains
Of the inefficiency of the Chief of the Fire
Department. and of the fire engine apparatus
as illustrated at the late conhagration in that
city. The former was placed in Office by the
Know Nothing Council in place Of an expe-
rienced and thoroughly practical man who
was removed because he was a Democrat
The loss sustained is estimated at 100000.
One of our steam ire-engines would in all
probability, have extinguished the fames Ie-
fore the damage had amounted to as many
hundreds.-[ STATE Sentinel.
Thus has the lying statement of the En-.
quirer gone abroad, and unfortunately among
people who do not know but what statements
ementaing from the Enquirer may possibly
be entitled to belief. We ask the Sentinel
to correct the statement The late Engineer
was not removed at all, nor was his success.
sor elected because the former was Demo-
crat. The first engineers time had expired
and cur fire companies peiitioned the Council
not to re-elect him for reasons given, which
were not such as to be complimentary to his
merits as an officer. The present Engineer
we have every reason to believe, will prove
himself amply qualified for the position. Bad
apparatus alone was responsible for the
spread of this Gre; We certainly regret we had
not here at the time one of the fndia n polls

TELEGRAPH FROM THE CEfNEA.
The telegraph from the Crimea 10 London
and Paris is now complete with the excep.
ton OF portion across the Danube. Though
the whole line is not yet completed, mes.
sage can be transmitted from the camp "a
home governments in a few hours. Since
the opening of a communication, questions
have been asked in the House of Commons
every night whether there was any news
and the answer has almost invariably been
nothing worth communicating. An i'm
preston, however, prevails in the country
that government has received information of
a not very pleasing character, and which il
does not think it prudent to communicate
On Thursday night MIR. Whiteside asked the
usual question as to news, and Sir Charles
Wood in reply said it should be clearly un-
derstood that government must exercise the
most complete discretion as TO what intelIi.
gence should be given tothe public. They
would not, however, reserve any information
of interest to the public which II would be
prudent TO communicate to the House.

engineer at Sebastopol is Todleben. He is
thirty-two years of age. His parents are

commenced Prince Menschakoff, it is said,
asked the then head engineer how long it
would take to put the place in state of de-.
