the two countries are not in Il quarrel in

THE EVANSVILLE Boar Louis
vile Steamboat Inspector, Who cam" down
to inspect the Greenvile, whose hull and
cabin were built by Christian Telson, at this
place, pronounced her hull every way per-
fectly and honestly built; not a faulty piece
Of timber was to be found in it, and Mr..
Howard, the Evansville agent, who contract
ed for the construction Of the boat, says il
lie had another boat TO build, Of any size. he
would go to no one else but Telson to build
it, so we'll is he satisfied with his skill and
integrity. This is the first boat built at our
new boat yard.
The fine boat-yard saw-mill, built by Mr.
Telson has been delayed In its completion
several weeks, by the great press Of business
in the machine shops constructing its ma
chinery, but will be in operation in few
days. When the timber f,r tie construc-
ton Of the largest class of boats can be read
lily procured at Evansville, where there will
henceforward DO greater facilities in every
part Of view for building steamboat hulls
than at any point on the Ohio, below Pitts

tB- The shipment of specie by tho Euro
pa was the largest ever made by one vessel,
amounting to 81 ,237 :s22. IL can hardly tail
to exercise favorable effect in the event OF
its safe arrival in England. There are some
doubts as to the propriety of sending su,h
large sums in the winter season by single
vessel, a. time when tho moral effect of
its loss would be very disastrous to slowly
recovering confidence and the enfeebled state
Of the international exchanges. But the
shippers act independently and in ignorance
of the doings OF each other. 1t is fortunate
that the underwriters are able to impose o
check upon the amount. The Philadelphia
Press says: The market does not feel the
loss Of the specie; the opinion being gene
rally entertained that the payment of the
debts, and the restoration Of confidence
abroad was as good use as could be made
OF some portion OF the very heavy accumu-
latIon in the New York banks"

f. & C. r. R.-The Superintendent of this
Road has just issued a new time table, by
which the line at this end of the Road is
not at ali affected, and but few minutes
variation is made at the other. The change
was made necessary by slight chengc OH the
Terre Haute and Richmond road. The con-
nections both between the T.. & C. and the
Terre Haute and Indianapolis and the o. &
NJ. r. RS are close and excellent.
Tho freight business on the f. d C. Road
Is now fair. and the passenger traffic slightly
improving. The annual free passes on this
road expire to morrow, and, we understand,
will only be renewed under strict conf rmity
with the rules Of the Cleveland Convention.

KANSAS.

The Missouri Democrat has received
letters from Kansas to December 22nd.
They contain but little additional intel
hgence to what has already been pub
lished in our columns. Some twenty or
thirty Missouiians were arrested at
Leavenworth on election day for fraudu-
lent voting, and most Of them bound
over to appear at court. Calhoun, fear
full for his life. had fed from Lecompton
to he protection Of Fort Leavenworth.
The Democrat says it was full time for
HIM to take such precautionary step as
an outraged and indignant people would
have demanded his sacrifice as o just
stonement for his crimes. lie would
have been treated to hempen collar
some Of these nights, and consigned to
the tender mercies Of the national de-
mocracy in the other world.
1t is said that many Missourians voted
at Leavenworth; the form of the oath
was suited to their tender consciences
and ran Is follows: Are you at this in
slant an inhabitaut of Kansas" The
Uni.ed States troops were at the poll.
and all the voters marched between tn,
files. One of the Democrats corresPon
dents crosses his letter thus: "The in
dignauon of a free and outraged people
is thoroughly aroused. John Calhoun
vas this evening hung in etiigy, and thei
burned in front OF the Planters Hotel
in which the dictator and most Of tn
rufians were Gagged. This evening III
notorious Ely Moore was shot through

State men kept perfect order, and at n
time did they contemplate interfenn
with the voting"
