Fillmore Club Meeting.

The Fillmore Club had another rousing big
meeting last Saturday night. Unfortunately
we were not there, or we should have given
some report of Mr.. Jones' speech, which we
understand was to the point, plain and EN-
phatic in language, and fully discussing the
foreign and Catholic features of the American
platform. 1t was received with much enthu-
siasm, by the large crowd present, who lent
their closest attention, although many of them
were standing up the whole time. The invita-
ton from the Henderson Fillmore Club to the
Evansville Fillmore Club, to attend the Barbe-
cue at the former place on the 18th of this
month, was read, and received with great APP
plause. Our Club will be largely represented at
the Henderson Barbecue-that may be relied
upon. Never were political meetings more
largely attended in this city, than have been the
meetings thus far of our Fillmore Club. The
right enthusiasm prevails here, and this Club
and its committees are energetically working
for the good cause.

Ruchaneer Black Mail

The N. Y. Express makes a proper expos
ure of a system of black mail which is being
levied on the Custom House clerks and other
employees of the Government in New York.
The following is a copy of a private circular
laid on the desks of the Custom House
clerks:
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE
OF THE CITY OF BROOKLYN.
SrR:-Your assessment by the above Com
mittee for the office of Clark, is Forty Dol
lars.
N. B.-You will at once perceive the neces-
sity ofsettling the same Immediately, in order
to defray the expenses of Printing, &c, pre-
paratory to the coming election.
DAVID G. AITKIN, Chairman.
VIM. III. IRoNsIDEs, Sec.
VIM. H. PECK, Chair'm Finance Com.
JAMES SHARKEY, Sec. of Finance Com.
G. c. CoNTRELL, Collector.
The Express remarks upon this cir
cular, that it is certainly desperate method
Of raising an electioneering fund. In the first
place, it pre-supposes the CustomHouse Clerks
and other employees ready and willing to COM
NIT down right peTjury,-because it is well
known all such clerks and employees, before
receiving their salaries at the cashiers desk,
are obliged to swear as follows
I--a-in the office of the Collector
of the District of New York, do hereby
certify on-that l have performed the SER
vices stated in the above account; that have
received the full sum therein charged, to my
own use and benefit and that have not paid
deposited, or assigned, nor contracted to pay,
deposit, or assign any part of such compensa-
tion to the use of any other person; nor in
any way, directly or indirectly paid or given
nor contracted to pay or give, any reward OF
compensation, for my Office or employment, OF
the emoluments thereof. So HELP ME COP.
Sworn and subscribed before me, this day
of 1876
Beautiful state of things indeed! Beauti

day,-and particularly the Political morals o
General Pierce's administration, and "Tht

not Sin any way given any portion Of their

ly sworn they shall not do, $50 help me God
And to refuse to submit to the assessment the

soon be served with another "private circular,

more nor less than downright and deliberate

dents, the sooner he quits the field, for hi
own sake, the better.

SERIOUS AFFRAY IN ARKANsAs-SIx PER
SONS REPORTED KILLED-The Memphis Ea-
gle learns from gentleman direct from Lin
den, Ark, on the ST. Francis river, that a
difficulty occurred between number of GEN.
tlemen, residents of that place, which resulted
IN the death of six of the party. The dis
turbance grew out of a political dispute. We
were unable to learn any of the particulars,
or the names of any of the parties connected
with this melancholy affair."

A VOICE FROM ILLINoIs!-We have already
alluded to the rising Fillmore enthusiasm in
Illinois. We have had practical evidence of
the warm feeling existing thee for the Fill
more cause. Last Saturday, we received fifty
taoo neao subscribers from Illinois, every man
forking up his dimes, with word that 'plenty
more are coming" There can be no better
sign of enthusiasm than this. Men don't sub
scribe this way for political papers when there
is no good cause swelling their hearts with glo-
rious enthusiasm.

GRAND RALLY OF THE UNTERRIFIED.-The
Democracy held one Of their grand meetings
in Knight Township last Saturday. Notice
had been given a long time beforehand, and
something prodigeous was expected. When
the day and the particular hour thereof had
arrived, the immense assemblage was found to
be composed of Messrs. DENLY and Shanklin,
the orators, and several friends from this city,
just even twelve Democrats from knight town
ship, and ten Fillmore men! We have not
yet heard that any of these Fillmore men
were converted by the eloquence ofthe orators,
which shows the obduratness of the human
heart. The Fillmore men will hold meeting
in Knight township next Saturday afternoon.
We hope we may be able to give better ac-
count of them.

NEWSPAPERS, &c.

Our correspondent "P." appears to have
proper idea of what constitutes good news
paper and what qualifications are necessary
in editors to accomplish the object of making
good paper. We thank him for his fatter
ing opinion of the Journal. That the Journal
is not altogether the paper we should like to
make it, and we believe have the skill to make
it, is not our fault. Without any assistant,
except "Up Town ESQ.," reports, and acting
as book keeper, collector and general business
manager, writing every thing in hurry with
out time for revision, and under continual in
terruption, it is not to be expected we should
make such paper as we might under different
circumstances. But we trust every man gets
the worth of his money in the Journal, and
that we do our duty to the party whose can
didate and principles we advocate. Whether
we can with all our labors, arduous and unceas-
ing, stand the thrashings of those who find
personal objections to our course, remains to be
seenl We shall at least endeavor to do our
duty, hoping the faithful discharge of that duty
will infringe upon no mans rights or personal
feelings, but looking only to doing our duty,
and regardless, as we have heretofore been, o.
consequences personal to ourself

SET YOUR CLOCKS AND WATcHEs.-We have
already noticed the great difference in time, as
kept by watchmakers, and by individuals in
this city. No two watches agree, and yet no
man can say his time is the correct time. To-
day an opportunity will be afforded for taking
new start. Our old friend, Mr.. Spencer
who is experienced in taking the meridian, in
forms us that yesterday, with several others
he made an observation of the sun, so as to
report to-day. He Informs US that the Catho-
lie town-clock bell, will ring to-day at the
precise second the sun is crossing the meridi-
an, which will of course be precisely II O'Clock
We therefore advise every citizen who owns
watch, to set it to-day when the bell rings
so that we may all agree in time, and be able
to keep up to time" hereafter without getting
much ahead of it.

THE DIFFERENcE.-A cowardly brute at
tackled us last Sunday morning, in dastardly
manner, for merely publishing his name in a
list Of native born Democrats" in Evansville.
Yesterday morning, we termed him, and in
language we are by no means in the habit of
using, coward, and paltry knave. He
evidently saw no cause of offence in this,
for we have since seen nothing of him.

LARD Oh, SOAP AND CANDLEs.-Messrs.
Decker & Kramer have purchased out the in
terest Of Geo. Klein, in the firm of Geo Klein
& Co., manufacturers of Lard OIL Soap and
Candles, and the business will hereafter be
conducted under the firm of Decker &c Kra-
mer. The old firm has for some time been
engaged in the mandatory of the above arti-
cles and we have already repeatedly had oc-
casion to notice the superiority of the soap and
candles made by them. These, with the lard
oil, are equal to the very best articles offered
in the Cincinnati market, if not superior, and
are sold at Cincinnati prices. The firm OF
Decker & Kramer is of seventeen years stand
ing, and we believe the oldest firm in this
city. They are reliable, prompt and energetic
men, and will devote their whole attention to
the above business. Dealers in this region
can send their orders to Decker & Kramer
with full confidence of meeting their prompt
attention, and obtaining good articles and at
the lowest prices. 1t will certainly be to their
advantage to purchase here, instead OF sending
to distant cities, and suffering under high
freights and long delays.
