After giving Mister Hughes the benefit OF
his denial of having contaminated his char
acter SO far as to write editorials for the En-
quirer, there is But one other point in his
whole column of explanations worthy OF no.
tice-and it is kind of wing or leg or
"Pope's nose" of the turkey question. Mr..
Hughes says he has favored US with small
loans, and we have been his regular custom
er in that way. Again, he says he has done
us at least dozen favors to where he has
extended certain other individual one. If
all this were true, we scorn the claims of
that man to being considered gentleman,
who would himself voluntarily give pub lie ty
to the fact. Either he is or We are utterly
ignorant of the courtesies of gentlemen and
of business men, or else he ha most shame
iessly violated them. We have numb err oil
times called in at the hocse of Holingswortt
g. Hughes, (Which we never should have
done had not our good friend Mr.. Holdings
worth, who is a gentleman, been partner,
just as we have called on other, neighbors, anc
as business men are in the habit of calling on
each other, TO obtain assistance in meeting
obligations-bnt we appeal to any man from
whom we ever asked and obtained such assis-
lance. if we did not promptly return the favor
the very hour when promised! We ask the
business men OF Evansville, and in doing SO
we appeal to men the great majority of W hon
perhaps borrow thrice the amount of none y
every year we do--what would be their opin
ion of one of their number, who should pub
fish to the world the fact of this and that
gentleman having borrowed money of him
and boosted OF the favors he had thus show n
these men, although he dared not say they
had not faithfully kept their promises in re-
turning the several amounts! Ii such mar
were not at once kicked out of the society
of all honorable business men, it would not
be because he did not richly deserve the con
tempt.
If Mr.. Hughes considers that his favors tc
us in this ananner-and it is the only manner
we have ever asked or received favors from
bis house, not from himself-have necessari
iy placed US under such obligations as to Sc
cure himself from our rebuke in his contemp
tible political displays and ambitions. we
should like him to specify in dollars ant
cents the amount of our obligations, so tina
they may be wiped away, and thus that equal
ity between US secured which may hereafte
make him more considcrate and sensible a
apolitician, by feeling that we are under n

same time we remark, that no one more deep
ly feels a favor than we do, nor would NOR
chserfully reciprocate Kindness.

The CANAL TRusTEEs.-By the death Of
Ben. Edmonson, Esq, vacancy has been
created on tho Board of Canal Trustees.
The question arises, how is that vacancy to
be filed! Mast he Office remain vacs Mt un-
til general electioni Or can we have a
special electionl Or will the Governor ap-
point! Whichever way the thing is to be
done, the people of Evansville have deep
interest at stake. We want Canal Trustee
right here in this city, good aud efficient
man, and we hope no effort will be spared to
secure SO important an officer. No partisan
feelings shoHld be consulted in the selection
of competent person, aud then let our
claims be presented with united front
There should be no other course pursued
whether the place be filed by appoint ment
or election. Will our people look into this
matter at oncee ~ rfrs-rF

~ Mr.. John Wesley Hughes sacrf-
ees half column of the Enquirer to dehying
writing editorials for that paper. We give
him the benefit of his denial, and can only
say that If he tells the truth, we have been
lnisled by individual, who judged from Mr..
Hughes ocn condensation that he was the
author OF at least several i'll advised and very
ccntemptible editorials in that paper. II
Mr.. Hughes would talk less and think more,
he might not perhaps be so frequently mis-
represented. We are glad to learn that he
is in no manner associated directly with
those editorials, and that he repels any con-
nection with the Enquirer as a SANDER. AL
though entitled to no consideration by either
friends or opponents as politician, it will
greatly crafty the social world of Evansville
to know this distinguished gentlemen is mol
altogether fool. He will excuse us MOTTO
ing the gas of his communication. AS usu
al, he endeavors BY ,cords to make the work
believe he is brave man. In adopting tht
epithets of the Enquirer, he is assuming 81
much of the character OF its editor, as t.
place himself below anything but the con
tempt OF respectable citizens. That con-
tempt makes him entirely safe in alludins
TO his personal responsibility. Besides, Their,
is only one man in town who has got hant
big enough TO pull his nose, and he is cor
fined to the house by sickness.

rWe wish to ask Mr.. Hughes il he has
not stated in conversation, that ne was
principal articles of the Enquirer before
they are inserted in that paper! And if So
is he not as responsible for them and their
publication as though he wrote the articles1
And if there be such committee isn't the

independent editor!' s5 ID

OF The L 1uisville Courier extracts the
following from our article on the Lousv lille
riots :
A row Of other houses were on fire in the
rear. The engines stood idly by, or were
feebly worked to protect other property not
doomed. A brass cannon was drawn up on
the street, at the end of which were a body of
men with muskets and bayonets. This was
to qFeu the police in case of resistance on
their part.
The Courier calls this an "unmitgated
lie." We hope he WIFI permit US TO attempt
its mitigation, anyhow. 1t was simply a
mistake We made perhaps in the object of the
cannon and muskets and company being
there, but not in the practical reality when
they were there. Finding the company on
the ground, we took position among them
aud formed the above conclusion from the
conversation OF the members, and also from
the fact, that the mob in sterling for the
Times Office was headed by this company
! Afterwards, in front of the Times office, we
heard the mob had placed their cannon and
muskets in the usual place of keeping them
To a stranger this seemed pretty good grounds
for not supposins it was company sent to
duell the mob. Please ask 'ithe Colonel OF
The LEGION what he thinks about it.

as In reply to the Vincennes Gazette's
rather heated article relative to our position
on the subject Of the Ohio and Mississippi
Railroad. we have merely TO say that the ed
tor does not appear to have the slightest
idea OF what our positiea is, cad his com
ments are therefore uncai!ed for aud out oil
place. He prestmes that because we have
spoken candidly of the swindling operations
by which in the construction of this road
fnanciers have been enriched and day labor
ers cheated out of their hard earned wages,
and the whole enterprise or the men engaged
in it exposed to deserved Condemnation, tina,
we are necessarily opposed to the road, and
rejoice ia that which Injuries it. Dare the
Gazette defend that which we have con-
demned! Dare it condemn that which we
have praised! We earnestly desire to
see this road in successful operation, and be-
fore we had seen the Gazette's structures on
our course, we had said so editorially, in
noticing the running of trains on the road
to- morrow. The Gazette is too apt to "hy
off the handle" A little more discretion to
aid it's EDITORS ability, will make him unex.
ceptiohable.
