IL far, have been very wet ones, causing many
of rivers to overflow their banks, back
ing up the water in the creeks and bayous, and
flooding to a considerable extent the bottom
lands when the rivers rccede, which may be K
pccted soon, then the large surface of decaying veg
ctable matter exposed to the scOrching rays of the
summer sun, produces the malaria, which proves
fatal in its course, sweeping whole States, aud
sparing neither age in its conquering
march.
After a residence of more than twenty years in
the middle and Southern States, we think have
discovered Il medicine which, to a certain extent,
is a preventative of the attacks of bilious fever,
ague, &c, and as such recommend our Magnolia
Whisky.

pose to sell always pure aud unadulterated Liquors
for medicinal purposes, and little for the stom-

country, to find any impurity adulteration in
the whisky branded by us, 'Allis & Howe's Mag

corn, rye, wheat, with slight addition of good

Ca The Cosmopolitan Art Union offer
the present year greater inducements to
subscribers than in any previous season.
We do not see how any one who has
three spare dollars and any love or taste for
art, can resist the temptation to give
them to the Art Union. For three dollars
the Directors propose to give copy of the
splendid engraving of Shakespeare and his
friends, embracing life like portraits Of
Shakespeare, Ben. Johnson, Sir Walter Ra-
leigh, Bacon, Beaumont, Fletcher, and other
cotemporaries. Also copy of the Quarter

the Dusseldorf Gallery, and chance in the

finer collection than was ever before offered.
Three dollars cannot in any way be So well
invested as to send it to G. l.. Derby, ac-
tuary, No 54s, Broadway, New York, for
copy Of the engraving of Shakespeare and
his friends, which will be forwarded immedi-
ately, and all the other perquisites will fol-

EDUCATION IN lLLIYoIs.-The Shawnee
town paper says, that if a law prevailed in
Illinois like that of Austria, which provides
that no one shall receive marriage license
who cannot write his own name in q legi-
bic hand to the certificate, there would be
few marriages in the Egypt, of Illinois.
"The ignorance of our people" it says, SIS
so great, that in many Instances the election
returns are sent in from the precincts with
the marks of the judges attached, they being
unable to write their names. Is it to be
wondered at, under these circumstances, that
zoe roll up such overwhelming majorities for
the Democratic ticket, that noe oppose Free
Schools and all other institutions of learn
ing, and that zoe are twenty years behind
the improvements of the age" -'ees.-- er

&C. The STATE Sentinel smiles at the idea
that Hendricks-the ofiice-holders' candi-
date for Governors friend of Douglas
and an Anti-Lecomptonite, or that he has
quit Jesse d. Bright and Buchanan. Hold
ing Office at Washington and supporting
Douglas, are two very impossible things
The " Jannissaries, who are established to
support Hendricks, and who are obliged TO
pretend to support Douglas, will have some
very difficult manguyres and cvolutions to
perform during their campaign.

Ras The wiseacre ofthe New Albany Ledger
says the Constitution is not responsible for
the injustice of taking the School Funds of
one county and giving it to others. He says
the Constitution has not one word in it
about the matter 1t is provision of law,
and attempts have been made to alter the
law, but they have failed because so many
poor counties were interested in getting the
money of the richer counties. The Supreme
Court is more astute than Hon. Bill Englishs
organ, and has found that the Constitution.
requires an exact and uniform system of
schools to be maintained in all the counties
in the State-that one county cannot have
any moro money per scholar or better
schools than all the rest; and the present
law of distribution is in conformity with
the letter and spirit of the Constitution.
To amend this inquitOus restriction of the
Constitution, the Ledger would refer it to
the Legislature, body whose members
have repeatedly refused to change the law
because majority of the counties were
gaining some pecuniarS advantage from it.
This shows their fitness for revising the fun
damental law of the State. But change
of the law would do no good. The Supreme
Court would, if consistent, declare the al
teratiOn, if made, unconstitutional.
After quoting our statement of the unjust
operation of the School Fund Distribution
Law, the Ledger adds the following remarks
in its usual courteous style:-
"This is a specimen of the arguments adj
duced lay the political schemers and specu-
lators who are now busily endeavoring to
humbug the people into calling Convention
at an enormous expense to make a new
Cons tuition 1t is unnecessary, we presume,
TO inform the intelligent readers-such as we
hope are those ofthe Ledger-that the present
Constitution contains no such provision in
relation to the collection and distribution of
the School Fund rs is here imputed to it.
Nothing whatever of the kind can be found
in that instrument, and the Editor of the
EVANSVILLE JOURNAL can point to no such
provision"
The Ledger then goes on to support the
law, because it makes the enterprising,
active, and rich counties pay for schooling
the children Of the indolent and IMPROVE
dent counties, on the same grounds that
were assumed by our neighbor of the Volks-
boIe, whose arguments it repeats in bad
English.

DEMOCRATIC GUBERNAToRIAL CANDIDATES.
The State Sentinel says: I" We believe that
both Messrs. Hendricks and Durham have
been what is termed Administration Demo-
Gratis, sustaining the general policy of the
present Administration. A correspondent
of that paper,;who signs himself a douglas
Democrat" says:
True it is that few people worship the
setting sun, and in the gray dawn of the
coming Presidential olympiad,it is not diff
ficult to foresee that the great champion of
the mighty Northwest is the rising lumi-
nary of the coming day. But with what con-
sistency can either Durham or Hendricks
now lay hold of the skirts of the rising
Statesman? Has either ever been his friend
and supporter when he needed help? Has
not Mr. II. up to this hour held Office under
President who has denounced Douglas as
rebel, and used the whole power Of the
government in futile attempt TO crush him
And has not Mr.. ID. been n steady supporter
of that Presidents Administration Nay
more, when Mr. II. came to Indiana last
year to fight for the Administration, and in
a speech at the Palmer House, in Indianapo-
lis, he vas asked by Dick Ryan whether. if
citizen of Illinois, he would support Mr..
Douglas, did he answer? Did he dare to
answer? Dare he, even now, say that he
will support Mr.. Douglas for the Charles
ton nomination? Dare Mr.. Durham, who
has steadily supported the Administration,
say that he is for Douglas at Charleston
Neither he dare avow it, How shallow,
hot g
gentlemen Is " the Douglas candidate"
Let those gentlemen-talented and hon
orable and well qualified as they are-rely
upon their own resources in conducting
their contest, AMI upon their own populari
ty for its determination. Let it not be said
to the shame of the friends of Douglas, that
they have dwindled into mere pot-house
partisans of his enemies.
How can sincere original champion of
Douglas support Hendricks?

Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to make few re-
marks on the communication of "Readyn
in your last number. He says
alt is not a mere county fair ground that
will answer our purpose. Every county
seat in the State must have that, if they
don't intend to fall back into barbarism.
What we want here, and what, by your
leave, we will have, is Southern Indiana,
Kentucky, and Illinois fair ground. "0ur
excellent fellow citizens, Phil Hornbrook,
Sam1. Orr and others, who led off in this
matter years ago, and all the time, have en-
titled themselves to our lasting gratitude for
their exertions, and nothing has prevented
their labors from being crowned with
the most brilliant success but the unfortu-
nate location of the grounds" consider
Ready" much more unfortunate from not
being posted up in matter. "a A majority of
the citizens of the county well know that
was by the interchangeable energy of Mr.. Horn
brook that our present location was obtain
cd. He most sanguinely recommended the
suitableness of the location, and by that
means found customers for the stock, and
purchased the fee simple. Had it not been for
him, it never would have been located there
for which "he is entitled toour lasting graf
itude." True it is not central in the county,
butthose who are farthest, off have least COM
plants The fair ground that Ready"
recommends, however, is for separate es-
Enlistment, and will not, presume, inter-
fere with our county fair, as it is for the ac-
commodation ofSouthern Indiana, Kentucky,
and Illinois. He says " the labor necessary
for change can be performed in a month,
&C." "Ready" is aware, presume, that
the stockholders who own the land own the
appurtenances also.
a word to the wise is sufficient.
In view of the feelings of your readers,
would advise " Ready" not too be to ready
in future, and when he calls on the ladies to
"lend him their eyes and ears" not to talk
about stations. CITIZEN.
