INSTRUMENTATION AT THE FRENCH BALLOT
Box. = Louis Napoleon does not find the
French people quite so docile in every respect
as would be desirable. Until recently the
privilege Of universal suffrage was an instru
ment in bis hands which he could sway as he
pleased; but the result of some of the recent
elections has shown that the people have begun
to think for themselves; and that even his
nominees for office are not always secure of
their approval. At the town of Miles four
hundred and thirty-six votes were thrown for
councillors, only nine-seVenth ofwhich were for
the Government candidates. Every one of the
successful sixteen received between three and
four hundred votes. AT Arretz the local au-
thorities sent printed list, headed Govern
ment candidates" to the residence of every
elector; but, notwithstanding this extraordi-
| nary mode of intimating to the constituency
how they were expected to vote, not one of
the Nominees was returned. In the important
town of Augouleme the Government candidates
were all defeated. At Rouen out of thirty-six
councillors six were chosen from the OPPOSE
ton; and among the Government nominees
thrown out were M. Daviel, Senator, and the
Colonel of the National Guard of the town.
In Havre and many other places also the OPP
position mustered with great strength and with
partial success. IL Nat. Intel.

Something Nice and Novel.


Our old friend Mr.. E. u. Webster is here on
a short visit, and brought with him some ele-
CANT specimens of oil colored Photographs, &c.
They are the ne pl,ts ultra of Dagucrreotyping.
They have all the richness and durability Of
oil paintings, they really are, with the deliaa
cacy of the finest water colors, and the unmis-
taxable correctness of the Daguerreotype itself
They are of course more costly than the ordi-
nary Daguerreotypes, but they are beautiful.
He has also a specimen, life size, Of new style
of painting and Daguerreotyping combined,
called the Pastel Painting, one of the latest
French improvements. This is also elegant.
Mr.. Webster has an artist employed especially
to do this kind of work, and we believe no
other Daguerrean establishment West, if in the
country at all, is enabled to make these pic
lures. Mr.. w. is ready to receive orders from
our citizens for ikenesses of any size, from
life to miniatures, in these rich styles. We
hope he will receive good many orders. as
we should like to- see some of the parlors
of Evansville thus ornamented He can be
seen at Summers g. Tilestens Daguerrean
Saloon.

The form of Oath.


A city paper yesterday gave the following as
the oath which certain persons have refused to
take in our court
" You do solemnly swear that you will true
answers make to all interrogatories put to you
touching the commission of all misdemeanors
coming within your knowledge, within the ji-
risdiction of this court"
This is not so. The following is the oath
which is required to be taken:
"You do swear that the evidence you shall
give, touching the commission of any INSIDE
meanor, in Vanderburgh county, as to autict you
mar be irte,rogated shall be the truth; the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you
God"
Instead of swearing to give truthful evidence
touching the commission of al na5sdemeaaaors
aoitsi,e his k,ao0ledge in the manner of examina-
ton before Grand Juries, he is sworn as to evil
dence in particular cases-a marked difference
The leading question under this oath is about
as follows:
Will you tell whether A. B. has, since the
18th of June last, sold any spirituous or in
toxieating liquors, and if so, where was it sold
by whom, and for what price?
Here the offence; the time and the person
are all specified.

A Fearful Fall.

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when
the forms Of The N: Y. Observer were being
hoisted through the dumb waiter of The Daily
Times to the composing-room of The Obser-

Timpson, aged II, and Thomas Stevenson
aged 20, got on the box to be hoisted up

It snapped and they were precipitated to the
lower cellar of The Daily Times office, a dis

the least injured, and although the ospubis

Rarnum on Advertising.

We are glad to preceive that our remarks
on advertising coincide precisely with the
opinions of Barnum one Of the shrewdest OBJ
servers and best money makers in the United
States On the occasion of the visit of Gen.
Tom Thumb and menagerie last week to
Burlington, Vt, and the consequent assem-
blage of a tremendous crowd, the General made
a speech, in which he alluded to Mr.. Barnum
being present. Barnum was afterward called
out. The correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune,
thus alludes to his speech:
He said he did not come to give lecture
but would make few remarks about money
getting, believing the desire for wealth very
laudable one and as natural as the desire fol-
immortality. Many most excellent maxims
and happy illustrations fell from his lips; and
lie kept the audience in breathless attention
for more than half an hour. Among other
things he advised every one to take newspa-
per and to- advertise their business, and keep
posted up in the general affairs of the world
He scarcely knew of any occupation that would
not be greatly benefited by advertising, One
old farmer stood listening most attentively, and
at last said in loud voice. ''That speech is
worth hundred dollars" The person te
whom he spoke replied. eyes, if people
would heed it 'twould more than make up fol
the past eve had up in Essex"
The truth is Barnum made a most happy
and instructive speech, and pleased the masses
amazingly. His doctrine was sound his illus
trations clear, and his manner very acceptable
If Barnum don't understand the art O
money making, why nobody does, and he ha
shown by his own experience that ad0ertisin.

out of the public's pocket. 1t is astonishing
that some men, otherwise shrewd in business
never can bring themselves to at least tryin;

The Indiana Conference commenced its
session in this place this morning at half past
s o'clock, Bishop Simpson presiding.
Prof. j. H. Sinex, was appointed Secy., and
james Preston, and J. w. Jackson assistant
Secys. Most of the forenoon was spent in
appointing the usual committee. A motion
was made to appoint committee on slavery,
to consist of one from each District. The mo-
ton was laid on the table.
Several ministers from other Conferences
were introduced to the Conference. Rev.
VIM. D. Ryan, agent for the Metropolitan
Church was introduced to the Conference, and
spoke in behalf o. his agency. He exhibited a
plan of the building, which showed that it
will be beautiful ediice. It will cost about

Messrs Editors AS the public is doubtless
interested in the fact, it is proper for me to
state that the following Banks have organized
under the amended "Free Bank Law to wit:
The Central Bank and the Farmers and Me-
chanics' Bank Of this city, and also the Prairie
City Bank of Terre Haute. These Banks
have deposited securities in this Office, which
would pay in gold, at least one dollar and ter
cents for every dollar issued by said Banks !;
consequently the paper of these Banks is as
safe as gold could be, and perhaps more conve-
nient for commercial purposes.

6FThe Burlington correspondent of the
N. Y, Tribune, in speaking of the great rail-
road accident and the deaths, says that Mr.
Charles Ingersoll of Philadelphia, one of the
killed, would haveinherited a fortune Of $780,
600 had he lived until he arrived at the age Of
81 years, which would have been the last Of
the present month. A clause in the will pro-
vided that in the event of his decease before ar
irving at age, the fortune would fall to another
branch of the family. It is thought an effort viii
be made to recover this amount from the Com
pany, as in all probability, had not this acct
dent occurred, he would have lived to come in
possession of the fortune.

The E. g. C. Railroad.

What is to be made just at this time by
attacking the Directors Of the E. &. c. Rail-
road?--dtars the question. We have no idea
that any of the present Directors aspire to the
position again. They have labored honestly,
and to the best of their ability, to promote the
interests of the road and some of them have
much more ability than those who are finding
fault with them. If they have not done right,
will any one show how they could have done
better under the circumstances? In managing
the road the best in their power for its own
benefit, they have sought at the same time to
crafty the public, including this community,
far as possible. That they have not succeeded
in pleasing all, will be understood by at least
those who have ever tried to please the public
as railroad Directors. We are sure they have
truckled to no individual nor community in
their management of this road, and in that lies
considerable of the fsrplt fosqnd with them. If
the road is not succeeding so well as the san
guine hopes of themselves and others had an
ticipated there may be other and more power
full reasons than those assigned when all the
blame is thrown upon the Directory. We
have no disposition to be drawnin controver-
sy ON this subject We are sure that the
policy of the true friends of the road, is not to
abuse the Directory, nor to make the Railroad
itself subject of public discussion.
