Additional by the George Law.

The Isthmus papers are filled with the Off
cial documents concerning the Panama riot,
but no new facts of Importance have been eli
cited. No additional names of the killed and
wounded are given. The citizens of Panama
formed guard for the protection of property,
and the authorities had placed force at the
disposal of the Railroad Co., so that no further
violence was anticipated.
The correspondence between the Governor
of Panama and Commander Bailey is published
in full, closing with note from the latter
which IS exceedingly sharp. He tells the Gov
ernor that his answers are not satisfactory,
and are no assurance for the safety of the Tran
sit passengers for the future, and that until he
hears from his own Government he will take
all means in his power to avert further danger.
There have been rains throughout the State
during the past fortnight.

could not pass through and the passengers
were sent back to Aspinwall. Over fifty
wounded had arrived, two of whom died after
arrival. Next morning there was further
arrival of wounded and uninjured. At the la

Crime and Education in England.

1t was recently stated in the British Parlia-
ment, that one in every LA of the population
of England, is confined in prison, either con-
victed, or under charge of some serious offence.
A sad account, and one that has naturally
enough attracted the attention of philanthro-
pists. On the other hand, the system of pop
ular education is sadly defective. A few weeks
since, Sir John Packington, in reply to some
remarks by Sir James Graham, made this
statement:
'That is the right Hon. baronet's opinion,
but l controvert that opinion, and | meet it
with facts which demonstrate that England is
not educated, and that a large proportion, of
her population are in most alarming state of
utter ignorance. cloud cheers.) Mr.. Clay
gives us some new facts and | hope the House
will allow me to refer to them. He quotes
some reports from the head constables of
Preston, Manchester, and Liverpool. The
head constable of Preston says that in the
years 1854 he had 16, 500 males ID custody,
of which 9, GAL, or more than So per cent, could
neither read nor write. The right Hon. baro-
net may not like statistics, but we cannot
come to a decision on this subject without
Manchester, reports to the same effect. He
had S, 294 males in custody in 1854, of whom
1876, or 80 per cent, could neither read nor
write, and 5,303, or nearly GA per cent, could
read only: or read and write imperfectly.-
The head constable of Liverpool, Capt Greig
said that out of %, Ill prisoners only $40, OF
per cent, of the whole could read and write
well; of those who could read and write i'm
perfectly there were ll,O31, or about 43 pei
cent there were 1860 who could read only
or about per cent, while those who could
neither read nor write numbered IL $50, OF
about As per cent of the entire number of ap
prehensions, thus showing the connexion be-
tween ignorance and crime.''
Despite this unfayorable picture, severa
members of the British Parliament contend
that the people are educated sufficiently anc
take ground against any further improvement
Lord John Russell stated in his Introductory
speech on the subject, that he had ascertaineC
from the most authentic information tina
could be obtained, that of the boys in Eng
land and Wales, between the ages of 10 anC
Is, thirty-six per cent, only were at school,
He showed also that under the present sys
tenn, a large portion of the schools are il
charge of very incompetent teachers. Never
theless, the London Times contends that tn,
present system, if not all that can be desired
is all that can be expected.

CFThere are upwards of million pounds
of bulk pork lyingin fiat boats in Patoka wait
ing for water to float them to market. 1t is
certainly serious time with our produce mer-
chants this spring. The "oldest inhabitant''
does not recollect Patoka to have cut up such
fantastic tricks fora whole season, as not to fill
up with sufficient water to float fats over the
mill dams. The prospect for water at this
time-so late in the season. is just equal to no
prospect at all. The pork we suspect will
have to be smoked and shipped by the river in
casks at great expenditure without remu-
nerating prospect of returns. There are some
thousands Of bushels of sack corn in SINH
lar quandary, that will not bear shipping.

PRICE OF REAL ESTATE IN MADIsoN.-The
residence of David White, on Main Cross, on
a beautifully improved lot, fifty feet front and
one hundred and thirty feet back, was knocked
to Dawson Blackmore, Jr., yesterday, at two
thousand four hundred and ten dollars. The
dwelling adjoining, on the same lot. thirty feet
front and sixty back, to Watts Vawter at fif-
teen hundred dollars, not fifty per cent of the
first COST Madison Banner.
We have no doubt that similar property in
Evansville to Mr.. Whites residence, in loca-
ton, building and beauty, would have sold for
from five to ten thousand dollars. Property
must be cheap indeed in Madison.

He now wants to be Sheriff.

We notice that our amiable contemporary has
announced himself as candidate for Sheriff of
Vanderburgh county at the next election. He
exhibits proper politico-christian resigna-
ton. Having most signally failed to secure
the nomination of the Democratic State Con-
vention for Secretary of State, he is willing to
put up with the Office of Sheriff of this county.
This exhibition on his part of modest ap-
probation OF his own merits, is worthy of COM
mendation. Most other good Old Line office
seekers, having failed to secure the particular
Office of their aspiration, work on, and pop up
next time for something higher But our CO.
temporary is modest and unassuming and hum
BILE. He will agree to lay aside all luminosity
on the subject of his recent disappointment,
provided he is made Sheriff of Vanderburgh
county. His qualifications for the Office, are
of course undoubted. His intimacy with the
present Sheriff in the Sheriff official capacity
to say nothing of his personal intimacy, ought
to at least render him fully acquainted with at
tachments, and all the modus operand of dodg-
ing them.
Our contemporary has an immense amount Of
political capital to sustain him in his desire to
secure the nomination of the Democratic
County Convention. His late utilization with
the present Sheriff in supporting his course in
packing that notable meeting held at Apollo
Hall, in which the Sheriff produced scene Of
mobocratic confusion where otherwise all
would have been order, and urged crusade
on personal grounds against the real Demo
cratic candidate for City Clerk, who was af
forwards elected in spite of Gavitt and Hall
and his connection with the committee, who
gave the nomination to the Sherif's candidate
all this and other little matters connected with
the affair, ought certainly to afford our cotem
porary political capital enough. to secure the
nomination. Having made his paper the organ
of this one man the Sheriff, until it has become
known as the zone man organ,' and thus op'
posed directly and emphatically three-fourth'
of the Democracy in tie county-this may b.
an additional recommendation to the Conven
ton.
We should throw up our hat at once for THU
amiable contemporary, but he has great con
tempt for our services, and we fear would scarce
ly appreciate our good will. But we may still
express the opinion, that the Democracy o
Vanderburgh owe him this nomination. Hi
has done the dirtiest work of the party in thu
dirtiest style, and no fault can be found will
him that he has exhibited any delicacy of con
science, however much he may have lacked il
ability. Besides his election to the Office o
Sheriff would be almost tautamount to the re
election Of the present Shorthand as theDemoc
racy of the county would Of course like nothing
better than to again throw honors into hi
hands, ofeourSe. our cetemporary will be wei
come to the nomination. Won't he?

o. Mr.. Micajah Tarver, one Of the oldest
and most esteemed citizens of st. Louis, and
senior editor of the monthly periodical West
ern Journal and Civilian, died in that city last
Saturday. The St. Louis News thus speaks
of him !:
He was man of enlarged and generous
views, and his writings, which were the ut
terances of his ripened and matured thoughts,
have done much in shaping and directing SEN
timent in Missouri and the West, in relation
to the philosophy of trade, and the economy
of business.
Mr.. Tarver came to this city from Alabama,
though, we believe, he was native Georgian.
He was never married, and leaves behind no
father, mother, brother, sister, nor any near
blood relatives. His departure was as quiet
and calm as the sinking to repose of the sum-
mer's sun, after his race has been run and his
duty done.

Ho! for Nicaragua.

A gentleman from Louisville informs us
that Col: John Allen, of Shelby county, gal
liant and noble gentleman, will pass Evansville
next Thursday, with a company of probably
two hundred, bound. for Nicaragua to join
Walker. We learn from the Louisville papers
that this company will be generally composed
of excellent men in every particular, who are
animated by spirit of adventure, and are at
the same time DESTROYS of lending their aid to
Walker and his cause. If there are any young
men in Evansville who wish to join this band
of Kentuckians, they will have an opportunity
of reporting themselves to Col. Allen next
Thursday, as he passes down. He expects a
good many additions at Paducah and Memphis
The only expense volunteers will be at is the
paying oftheir passage to New Orleans. From
there they will be shipped right side up with
care to Nicaragua. We presume the recogni-
ton of Walkers minister by the administra-
ton, removes the Fillibuster stamp from the
complexion Of these expeditions
