ssStrange BedfellOws."

We may we'll cry ont strange bedfellows,"
when we see tho leaders Of modern Demo-
cracy supporting the most ultra Know Moth
ings in the city for Councilman. When we
see Jas. G.. Jones, Reuben Hart and Jim
Scantiin, tho candidates, holding close COM
munion and daily council with Raleigh,
Hewson, and Co. TO humbug the voters at the
election to-day. All of them were strong
advocates of the New Charter, and in favor of
abolishing our present system of schools, and
increasing the salerics of the Mayor and Clerk
and have the privilege Of taxing US 100 cents
on 800, instead Of Is cents on the 800 as
under the old charter. 1t is disgrace to our
city to see men aspiring to Office for the pur-
pose of forcing upon us Charter voted down
by over 500 hundred majority and resorting
to bare-faced falsehood to accomplish their
ends. Reuben Hart is trying to defeat Mr..
Oakley, his opponent for Councilman in the
Ninth ward, by asserting that Mr: Oakley is
in favor of issuing the city bonds to the
Straight Line Railroad. This is not true
have heard Mr.. Oakley say that he would
willingly give them his paid off stock in the
railroad if they would relieve his property
from further taxation. Mr.. Hart opposed the
Old Charter because he disliked the High
School and thought that those wishing to OBJ
tain the higher branches of education should
pay for it, and that our schools only invited
paupers to tie city and kept capitalists away.
But now mark his consistency. Since he be-
came candidate he is not only particular
friend to the High School and the whole sys-
tom Of Free Schools, but is in favor of add
ing department for the teaching of music
in all its branches!
Mr.. Nurrie, q member Of the present
Council, and q firm supporter Of Mr.
Hart, thinks that Mr.. Knights department,
of the school is high enough, and that the
High School is emphaticallly anti-Demo'
cratic. lie. the voters of the Ninth ward &C
to the polls this morning and vote for Mr.
JAS. Oakley, gentleman every way worth!
Of their support, and a friend to the Free
Schools. A VOTER OF THE Ninth WARD.

''OtD SANDS OF LIFE."-Dr. Hall, Of

gated the matter, and analysed the
drugs, finds that the mixture for which
'Old Sands of Life" charges two dollars.
when made from the rery purest and
most expensive materials used, costs ey.
actly sixteen cents, bottle and all! and
he furthermore charges, as do many
others, that it is q deleterious article at
best. The following, from The Cleaner,
is very severe rap:--"MEssRs. EDITORS.
Permit me, through your columns, to
bear testimony to q valuable medicine.
My great aunt has been striving to reach
heaven for twenty years. Having q
cough, she finally fell into the hands OF
the retired clergyman whose sands OF
life have nearly run OUT She purchased a
bottle of his Cannabis Indica, from which
she gained strength, judging from the
violence of her cough. On taking the
second bottle her strength SO increased
that she was able to cough all day and
night without interruption. The third
bottle landed her in heaven. Thus, in q
briefspace Of time, the fond hopes and
anticipations Of more than quarter of a
century are realized for the sum Of seven
dollars twelve and half cents. In view
Of this and ether facts that are almost
daily coming to light. it is no more than
an act Of justice to that pious, conscisn.

Commercial Row in Louisville
Burned.

About noon, on Wednesday, the block
of four story buildings, known as Com
mercial Row, and commencing at the
corner of Built and Water streets, was
entirely destroyed by fire. The corner
house was occupied by 7. Tull, as cof-
fee-house and clearinghouse. The next
was used by C. r. Griffith & Co., as
feed store, warehouse, and lard oil fac
tory, with about 1000 lard oil presses
In it, all of which were destroyed. This
building was owned by Mr.. Rupert, and
the next by Mrs. Kearney. Griffith's
loss is about $1,000. on which there is
no insurance. Mr.. Trll lost the greater
part of his stock, but saved part OF his
furniture. He was insured for $1,000.
which will probably cover his loss. The
buildings owned by Rupert and Mrs.
Kearney were insured for $1,000 each.
The corner building was also insured for
$4,000.
The walls of the houses were left
standing in tottering and very danger
Gus condition, and little before noon
fell down, with tremendous crash, strik-
ing che side wall Of the New Orleans
Coffee House, on the other side Of Built
street, crushing it in. and burying five
or six people in the ruins. Two or three
were taken out in crippled condition,
one of whom-a hand on some boat
was so badly injured that he was not ex'
pected to live. He was taken to the
| Hospital.

SANTA ANNA IN THE FIELD AGAIN.
We learn from the New York Herald Of
March 2Sth that Santa Anna is once
more in the field. He left his seat near
Carthagena, for Havana, en- route as it is,
supposed for Mexico. 1t is impossible
for Santa to keep clear of the revolutions
in Mexico.
He tried to raise money on.Eis Car
thagena property, which he values at
100000, but was only offered the
paltry sum Of $780, poor basis for q
military chest. 1t is supposed, by .
correspondent Of the Herald, that Zuolo-
ga, as the head Of the church party, is in
secret correspondence with the Ex Die
tator, and is merely acting for him.
Poor Mexico! it would seem that peace
IS never to visit her borders. The bright
prospect that was dawning upon the ma
ton, under the administration Of Com
onfort,; is dissipated, and civil strife is
again desolating her fair territory.

THE ELECTION TO-DAY.

An important and exciting election
sakes place to-day; nineteen Councilmen,
and all the city officers except the Mayor
are TO be elected. In the election of
Councilmen, the issue presented is one
Of vital importance to the city. The
New Charter party who were SO signally
routed last winter, are determined, if
possible. to elect Board of Councilman
who will adopt the New Charter, with
out referring it to the people, and if this
project fails, it is their intention to refuse
to appropriate the necessary means for
carrying on our Free Schools. We have,
from time to time, urged the friends Of
education and the Old Charter to prepare
for another fight upon this question, and
to-day, the issue is again presented
Let every voter devote part Of this day
to the interests OF Evansville; let him
understand fully the position Of the can
didates for the Council, and then let hrm

pledged not to attempt the adoption Of the
Ne,O Charter, and to vote for the appro-
priation of the necessary funds for car
rying on the Schools. Men will tell you
that these issues are not in the canvas,
that all parties are in favor Of the
Schools, and that all the candidates, con-
slider the Charter question settled. 1t
is mistake; and if the statement is be-
leyed, Council will be elected who will
cripple the Schools and adopt the New
Charter. Don't vote for any man, un
til you have seen him and learned from
his own lips, his position and his views
upon these vital points.

THE PAssovER.-This, the most SOL
emn festival Of the Hebrews, commenced
last Tuesday and ends to-day. Its stiict
observance is obligatory, and is scrupu-
lousy adhered to by every believer in
Hebrew faith, no matter what his lam
guage or abiding place; and it is respect
ed even by those who pay little regard
to the other requirements Of the church.
During this seven days perfect abstinence
from all bread save the unleavened bread,
and from all malt beverages and spiritu-
Gus liquors save wine under certain res
trictions, is imposed. On the first two
days and last two days Of the Passover
no work is done; the rest Of the week
the Israelites attend to their affairs as
usual. The ceremonies observed In
every Hebrew household on the first day
Of the Feast Of Unleavened Bread are in
teresting and impressive. On the next
and subsequent nights prayers are said
and discours,s explanatory made, and
the synagogues are not closed during the
week. All who are conversant with the
history Of the chosen people are aware
that the Passover is feast instituted tc
commemorate the providential sparing
Of the Hebrews during the time Of theiI
bondage in Egypt, when God smote al
the FIRST born Of the idolatrous Egyp
tians, but passed over the dwellings oftht
Israelites whose doors were sprinklet
with the blood Of the Paschal Lamb. a
majority Of the Hebrews in this city
have observed the Passover, as in year.
past. The minister of the Hebrew con
gregation delivered sermon in Englisl
at the synagogue last night.

OF The religious interest in all parts
Of this country continues to increase and
deepen. The converts are numbered by
thousands and in every town, city and
village in the country, meetings are be-
ing held and men are embracing the
truth. The New York Tribune of Mon
day says:
The largest congregation ever assem-
bled within walls in America for Pro-
testant religious service, gathered last
evening in the Academy Of Music, to
listen to sermon to firemen by the
Rev. w. P. Corbit, pastor Of the Metho-
dist Miners church in Cherry street.
Nearly half of the fremen of the city
were present. The stage was occupied
By distinguished men. Thousands were
turned away from the doors unable to
force an entrance. 1t was provided that
in case Of an alarm Of fire, the number
Of the district in which the fire occurred
should be stated from the platform, so
that the firemen Of that district should
leave quietly. The New York Times
says of the demonstration at the AGA
denny:
This undoubtedly was the greatest
feature of the present revival" and will
be chronicled by the future historians OF
the great awakening" The celebrity
Of the Crator-the present state Of the
religious community-andt the magnifi-
cent structure in which the speaker held
forth, taken in connection with the
theme upon which he was expected to
treat, all contributed to bring together
the largest concourse of citizens that Wa:
ever assembled in the Academy.
In an editorial article in the New
York Tribune, it is stated that during
the sermon, Eat one outburst Of enthusi
asm, a most earnest exclamation o
GLORY, glory apparently from female
lips, filled the whole house. At the con
