The FLkTBoAT LIQUOR CAsE.-An inter.
esting case was on the tapis yesterday. be.
fore Justice Walker, or Justice Mills, or Re.
corder Crisp, we could not exactly tell which
in which a man was charged with some
half dozen offences against the prohibitory
liquor law. For several days past fatboa,
has been anchored in the river near the
Kentucky shore, and the proprietor engaged
{. in retailing liquor to everybody who favored
him with q call, and he was supposed to
before last several warrants were issued
against the proprietor of this floating gro
Gerry, whereupcn he was brought to Evans
vile, and in default Of bail lodged in jail
The warrants were issued by Justice Walk
er, from whom the defendant took change
of venue to Recorder Crisp. AT the hour
appointed for the trial the Recorder was too
i'll to attend 10 business. and transferred the
case to Justice Mills. The respective attor-
neys for the State and tho defendant spent
q large portion of the afternoon in settling
preliminaries, keeping large, dry and anx-
ious crowd awaiting their action, and finally
continued the case until this morning at 9
O'Clock, before Esq. Mills. The case is a
nov ell one, and excites intense interest with
oil parties. The only defence in the case
willebe that the State of Indiana has no ju-
risdiction over boats laying at or near the
Kentucky shore.

RIVER ITEMS.

The fast little stern wheeler Jas. Watt
obtained her coal yesterday morning at tie
Bodiam Mines, and came by Evansville like a
juvenile tornado. She turn d the bend above, and
got out of sight from our wharf in 30 minutes,
good time for any boat. She had good load for
Green River. Any boat named after the inven-
tor of the steam engine ought to run well, and do
good business.
- The Wabash river is reported very high
at Vincennes, and fears are entertained it will
overflow the bottoms.
- Good rises In the river have been reported
above within the last few days.
- The Robt. J. Ward may be expected down
tomorrow for New Orleans, or the day after
She is fast, large and popular boat, and her of

Business at the wharf very dull yesterday
But very few boats along, and short stoppage.

The WABASH AND ERIE CASAL.--The
Legislature of Indiana. at it's session IN 1859
and '53, passed an act requiring the Govern
nor TO appoint commission of five physi-
clans to examine personally the several local
ities, Investigate the subject carefully, and
port the result to the Governor.
The committee, otter aving finished their
Investigations Of the Reservoirs, took an Cd.
portunity of inspecting what they term some
Of the artificial lakes of Ohio. They re-
ported that they found the reservoirs OF Ohio
had been constructed from twelve to fifteen
years, and that sufficient time had elapsed TO
show the practical effect of such collections
OF water; that the great reservoir in Mercer
county, o., being the largest artificial lake
in the world, caused great fears to be enter
tanned at the time of the construction, as TO
the effect it would produce upon the health
OF the country; yet it was freely ackncwl-
edged by all, that it had been decided ad-
vantage in point OF health
physician who had been practiei ng
eighteen years in the vicinity of this reser-
voir, said the health had gradually improved
since it had been filled with water; and the
citizens living near, among whom was a well
known member of Congress, concurred in
the opinion that the hygiene of the cot Itry
had been greatly imp owed by the construc
lion OF the reservoir.
The committee, after a patient and laoo.
Y ous investigation of The whole subject, re.
ported to the Governor that there was nc
ground for experimenting an increase of sick
mesa from the construction oil the reservoirs

ADVERTISING DEMocRAcY.-Wc scarcely
ever take up a Democratic paper now-a. day 6
withou, finding in il some puff, of ,Democra.
cy. One editor tells us that the Democratic
party is the only reorganization which has a
national existence co-exten I've with the
Union," another says that il is the only par
ty that is sound on the slavery question, an
other that it is the only tolerant party, nd
another that it alone of all the parties has
strength in itself sufficient to elect Presi.
dent. They advertise the potency of their
party just as a patent medicine man blazons
forth the efficacy OF his nostrums. Now,
these very puffs show clearly that the ed-
tors Of these Democratic papers do not b. :
leve what they proclaim. II the organiza-
tion is so perfect and so strong, why does
it not exhibit the fact by nominating and
eecting its candidates who are Democrats!
Why does it, as in this Stale for instance,
run men for Office who are now and ever
have been Wings? Why are its candidates
selected with reference to their hostility
to American rather than their adhesion to
Democratic principles! If the Democrats
desire TO be believed in their boastings of,he
strength Of their parry, they must Wind; cate
the belief by relying for victory upon their
own strength. and not upon the weakness oi
their opponents. Lou Jour.
