The Collins Fine Appropriation.


Mr.. Vanderbilt has written communica.
ton to the New York Tribune, in which he
says:
But it is said by the warm and excited ad-
vocates for the perpetuity of this monopoly,
that the speed of the Collins steamers is I'm.
attainable by others; that the ships of that
line are the perfection of naval construction.
From this proposition beg leave TO dissent;
and | stand ready at any moment to contract
with the Government (and to give the re.
quisite security for the performance ofm
contract) to transport the mail from New
York to Liverpool twice a month, for the
term of five years, in ships of equal or supe-
rior description to those of the Collins line,
and at an average time of twenty-four hours
less than the average time in which the ships
OF that line have hitherto performed their
voyages, and to render the service for the
sum oil nineteen thousand two hundred and
fifty dollars (S19 ,250) per round voyage, (the
sum for which the Collins line originally
contracted;) and, in default of strict perform
ance, will render the service without COM
pensation; and will further stipulate not to
ask or accept Of advances from the Govern.
ment to aid in the construction of the steamers
and not to besieee Congress annually for an
increased allowance. | should have made
the Postmaster General proposition of this
tenor, but was inclined to spare the Collins
line, and for that cause alone | RETAINED
from making it.
The Collins line is paid $4,000 trip,
when MIR. Vanderbilt would have engaged to
do the same service for $4,000. What a
shameful outrage it was in Congress voting
to the former $4,000 per voyage!

The Coming Charter Election.

The ensuing election is becoming mat
ter of very general consideration among our
citizens, and we are glad to know that the
selection of city and township officers is be.
ginning to be regarded as a matter Of no
small concern, and eliciting that interest and
attention which is due to its Importance
There has never been period in the history
of Evansville, when so great necessity ex.
listed for efficiency in the administration oil
our municipal government, as at the present
time. The policy hitherto pursued by ouI
city authorities, and under which it has con.
tinued to flourish and become the first com.
mercial point in Indiana, should not now be
abandoned through negligence or indffer.
ence. That the future progress OF our city
in it's moral, commercial and financial rela.
tons. depends greatly upon the character o.
its officers, no one can doubt. The numerou.
and important works of public improvement!
in which the city is engaged, should not now
be surrendered inadvertently to improper ant
incompetent hands. Our public schools ART
now in highly prosperous condition, ant
under their present direction are destine,
soon to attain very high degree Of use
fulness. This consideration alone should in
duce every citizen to look well to the sus
tanning of our system of education, by con
tinuing the policy under which it ha
been organized. We shall have more to sa,
on this subject hereafter.

o. Our friend Frary, of the Warrck
Democrat, who, by the way is making very
neat locking weekly paper, appears much
as ever haunted with the ghost of Know No
thingism. Ever since Frary made his noe
turnal search and wonderful discoveries last
fall, almost at the sacrifice of the life OF one
of the most estimable citizens of the "burgh,"
whom he had deluded into the search, he has
been in constant terror Of the supposed
Know Nothing organization. He says the
"order" is receding. "Has gone to seed" &c
&c. Will he be good enough to explain
what lie means by those mysterious remarks.

shire, Mr.. Frary! Do the spring elections
in your native State, IN. W Indicate that
the order is going to seed there! Answer q,

THE LOWER MIssIssIPPI.-The Memphis
Appeal of late date has the following para
graph:
A few years ago the lagest steamboats, that
stemmed the Mississippi could at any season
of the year, pass from here to New Orleans
without fear of delay by low water. Now, in
mid-winler when the river is always expected
to be in very good stage. our largest packet
find it necessary to take but half load OF
cotton to enable them to pass the bar below.
Should the bar increase as it has done for
the past year we shall have another Scuffle-
town at the foot of Presidents Island
When the Mississippi becomes unnavigabe
we may expect to hear of the Ohio and other
Mississippi branches being too low for skiffs
and barges.

SATURDAY Observation-Disclosures II
POIiticsin Virginia.

The canvass is waxing exceedingly warm
in the "Old Dominion. Mr.. Wise, the "Old
Line'' candidate for Governor has nearly
completed a tour ofthe entire State, in which
he has probably done some of the taliest
"stumping" ever performed in the State
His course during the canvass, like his past
political history, has been cratic, turbulent
and full of Inconsistencies and indiscretions.
Whoever has read the course pursued by Mr..
Wise for the past three months, and feels
himself allied to any party that shall require
Gifts candidates such service, as has engaged
the powers and talents of this great man,
should by it be made heartily ashamed of
such party and his alliance Herewith. What.
ever that eloquence, sophistry, invective,
SANDER ardmisrepresentation of both menand
measures, and bold defiance of very large
and respectable portion, doubtless MAORI
ty) of his fellow citizens, can do to make Mr..
Wise acceptable to the people of Virginia,
has been most ingloriously done. We COM
plain no more of Mr.. Wise than of others,
who are now, and have ever been pursuing
the same "Pettit" course, with all their might
and main, as if they were doing Gods will
in thus degrading themselves to the behests
Of their party. Mr.. Wise is only strong
case in point. 1t is the errors of so corrupt,
and un-American a system that We war with,
and that the great mass of the American peo-
pie who have long looked through their party
shackles with scorn and contempt at,and are
now spurningi it with those sentiments of self
respect which should actuate every true Amer
can heart We do not believe Mr.. Wise has
ever reflected the true sentiment of Virgin
ia Democracy; much less would we accord
to him the character of a true representative
of an American statesman. Recent politi-
cal events, at which the world should rejoice,
not only indicate, but actually proclaim the
bursting asunder of old partizan lines and
distinctions, and general disposition pre-.
walls to return to the good old Jeffersonian
test of "worth, honesty and capacity" as the
prerequisites to political preferment. Mere
traders and spectators in politics are not
only now regarded with distrust, but their
pretensions treated with loathing and con.
tempt, while men are being substituted in
their stead, whose intellect, experience and
position render them independent of the in
fuences that control and guide the mere par.
tizan. Mr.. Wise now has an opponent who
is reported to be in every essential element
ga foeman worthy of his STEEL" and re-
preventative of the independent masses Of
the people of his commonwealth. The sue
cess of Mr.. Flournoy in Virginia, will be a
triumph of which the American people may
be proud. The contest is one between high
handed, defiant demagoguery on the one
hand, and the true Republican sentiment OF
the native masses on the other. Even though
temporary triumph may succeed to the for
mer, there can be no doubt the ultimate re.
suit will not only be victory, but compli
ment to the American people.
