picked over. | also have the new styles of Hoop
Skirts, one of which styleis called the Gem of
Fashion, containing a beautiful Corset also, the
Queen of Diamonds, which I believe to be the
best Skirt ever made, for the following reason /:
1st.-They do not wrinkle or swing around the
person when walking-a fault which is universal
with all other Skirts.
2d.-They are cheaper, because they are twice
as durable, having metallic clasps in the place OF
sewing and also, because eleven hoops made in
this Kramer are equal in keeping the dress to its
proper place, to thirteen hoops made in thea
way.
3d.-As they are made of the watch sprine
steel they will not break, and are also very ligh
as well as elegant in appearance.

The African slave Trade.

The Hon. John II. McRae, a member of
the late Congress from Mississippi, and a
candidate for reelection, has lately written
n letter to the Hon. Jacob Thompson, Sere-
tary :of the Interior, on the subject Of re-
opening the African slave trade. He de-
clares that majority of the people of Mis-
sissippi are in favor of il, and as it is a
question of local policy, and Of State iusti-
tutions, he thinks the right to decide upon
it belongs properly to the State, and the
power to regulate it ought to be resigned by
the Federal and restored to hesitate govern
ments. His closing paragraphs are as fol-
lows:
"The question Of re-opening the African
slave trade. is merely one of interest, and
South with the attendant increase of her
population, her wealth, and developed re-
sources, which are the source of her pros
perity and power. African slavery is the
labor system of the South. The repeal of
the Federal laws prohibiting the African
slave trade is simply taking this system from
under the control of the Federal Govern
n,ent, and placing thunder the control of the
States, where it properly belongs. For this
reason, am in favor Of the repeal Of these
laws. The question being rightly UNDER
stood, ! think the people of Mississippi are
in favor Of their repeal.
believe the South requires lnUi g labor.
! am therefore in ttvor of re-orening the
trade in slaves Wi;'. Africa. sec 10 differ
ence, morally sociiaiy, or politically, in buy
ing slave in Africa, Che original source OF
our supply, and buying one in the home
markets of our slave-breeding States. In
this, yourself and Others ins the South will
differ with me. But this is O question for
the people of the States to decide, lwhen
they have control of it free from Federal re-
straintS.

Fair Ground.

A writer in Tuesdays Journal, who signs
himself "Ready,n advocates the establish
ment of a more convenient Fair Ground
than our present one, and recommends its
location on the railroad, and states that
convenient and suitable location can now be
obtained. In conclusion he asks, "What
say our citizens to the proposition?" For
one, say ready"
The arguments used need no repetition
They are such as appeal to the Judgment
and common sense of every one who feels
an interest in the progress of Evansville
Then let US come up to the work with ZEAL
and let us act promptly. Let us take the
matter in hand at once, and have the new
grounds prepared for the Fair to be held in
October. Experience has shown that the
present grounds are not in the right place,
and the best thing to be done is to sell them
and transfer the funds Stock into new
grounds on the railroad. We shall then
have something which will yield the bene-
fits had in view when the present location
was made; but which the investment, as it
stands, will never bring. No stockholder
who reflects discreetly on the subject can
fail to see the advantages to follow remo-
val to the railroad; and once seeing the adj
vantages, it is not doubted that every one
will readily consent to and favor the re-
moval.
For my own part am willing TO transfer
| my interest in the old grounds TO the new,
and also subscribe more stock, If necessary

the city by the following announcement;
The friends of Mayor Baker arc confident
that his salary will be raised to sum sufli-
Gent to induce him to retain his position as
Mayor of the city. The subject will be dis
posed of on Saturday night.
If the salary appropriation should fail,
and the city be threatened with resigna-
ton, we propose that committee from the
ex-hremen, school trustees, and other unpaid
patriots, be appointed to wait on Mayor Ba-
ker, with Mr.. H. Q. Wheeler at their head,
who shall be requested to repeat the argu-
ments and persuasions which His Honor so
eloquently and forcibly pressed upon Mr..
Wheeler, and which finally overcome the
latter's reluctance to remain i'm the unsala-
ried Office Of school trustee. In case the
Council should determine to keep the ex-
penditures within the limits prescribed to
them by the Mayor, and refuse the advanced
salary, His Honor's patriotism and devotion
to the public good might be re-awakened
by listening to reiteration of his own ear
nest appeals to one who had gratuitously
served the public most faithfully for five
years, in an arduous position, still to forego
his ease and private interests for another
term, to promote the public good.

TIE LIoUoR LAw.--1he indianapolis Sen
incl says that in the two cases of hdbeds
corpus before Judge Perkins, the law passed
at the last session of the Legislature, upon
several important points raised as to its con-
stitutiouality, has been sustained. The ap-
plicant in one case was q negro. In this
case the objection was raised to the law
that Il violated that section of the Consti-
tuition which guaranteed equality of prlvi-
leges TO all citizens alike. The Judge
decided that the negro was never recognized
~ a citizen in Indiana, and hence he could
have no relief upon that ground. The other
Two objections, that it is not of uniform op-
Grafton in all the counties, and that it espe-
cially taxes particular business, were also
Oyerruled.
In the other case, the petitioner was a
white, and a minor. IL was claimed in
this case that he was a citizen, and therefore
not subject to any disabilities upon the
ground presented in the other case. This
application was denied on the ground that a
minor. while having some, had not oil the
privileges and liabilities of complete citizen
ship, and upon the points decided in the first
named case II will thus be seen that upon
two important points-uniformity Of opera
ton and special taxation-one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court decides tie law to be
constitutional.

The State Bank.

The Report of the condition OF the State
Bank, up to June 80, 1859, made to the
Central Board, at its meeting in Indianapo-
lis two weeks ago, makes its appearance in
the Cincinnati papers of Saturday last. The
State Sentinel complains that these reports
of our own Bank, which ought to be first
given to the public of Indiana, as the parties
most intimately and deeply interested, are
withheld from the papers in this State, and
are obtained only through the publications
made by distant stockholders. Asthe Bank
has nothing in its reports which it can wish
to conceal, we do not see any reason why its
statements should not be promptly given TO
its own constituents. In all other States
nearly, banks are compelled by law to pub
lish full weekly or monthly statements of
their condition; and experience has proven
that this requisition is one of the most efi-
cient checks upon any alterations in the
course of the Banks that has yet been de-
vised. The following is the Banks state
ment of its affairs and condition:

A MOBILE MERCHANT SHOOTS A WOMAN.
IN THE STREETS OF New YoIK.-The New
York Times of the 18th inst, gives the fol-,
lowing account of a shooting affair, which
occurred in that city on Saturday last:
One Of the most deliberate attempts at
murder ever made in this city, occurred at
Ave o'clock, on Saturday afternoon, on Ca
nal street near Broadway. The victim was
woman named Virginia Stewart, who, I'M
til lately, has resided in Mobile, rs mistress
of a broker named Bobert c. Mcdonald
DESTROYS of escaping from her paramount,
whose incorporate and violent habits had
caused her TO dislike him, she clandestinely
left Mobile for this city. Mcdonald left in
pursuit of her, and arrived here a few days
after her. ss,,s,er .,lsi. st. .Urgl
Unable to discover her hiding-place, for
three weeks past, he has given himself mp
to the greatest excuses. In this condition
he accidentally met his fugitive mistress on
Saturday, and after vainly endeavoring to
induce her to return with him TO Mobile,
just as she was turning away from him, he
drew a revolver and shot her. The ball
took effect in the forehead, above the left
eye, and is said to be mortal. The woman
was removed to the City Hospital, and the
intended assassin was taken into custody.
The chief actor in this tragedy is X. C.
Mcdonald, q cotton broker at Mobile, Ala.
He is tall, stout man, with a ford COM
plexion, long red beard, and commanding
appearance. He is apparently thirty years
Of age. He has n mother living, and he is
said to have been very wealthy, but large
portion of his means has been squandered
in dissipation. Virginia Stewart, his vic
tim, has a father living in Boston. She is
is of medium height, exceedingly well IA
vored, with black hair and full round face
She always dressed fashionably and expens-
lively. She visited this city every summer
for several years, and the attention her
beauty and dashing air attracted when she
promenaded Broadway, has made her COM
paratiyely well known. 1t is said that she
became acquainted with Mcdonald in No
bile some eight years ago.. is~gd
Mcdonald treated her with affection when
he was sober. he, however, was addicted
to intemperance, and frequently, when ine-
briated, would misuse his mistress, and,
drawing weapon, would threaten her life.

The Peace.

Neither the London or New York papers
are fully satisfied with the manner the war
has been terminated, nor with the prospects
of the future affairs of Italy. The war was
stopped before its legitimate objects were at
tanned, and the unexpected peace gives rise
to suspicious ofsinister designs. The n. T.,
Tribune says:
1.-THE Italian war is over. On tue 9Th
inst. an armistice was, to the surprise of
every one, concluded between France and
Austria. Three days afterwards the two
Emperors had an interview, which resulted
in peace, of which the conditions would
seem TO be death blow to all present hope
of Italian independence. An Italian con-
federation is to be formed, under the honor
airy Presidency Of the Pope. The King of
Sardinia, who succeeds to Austria's rights
in Lombardy, is to be one member, and Aus
tria herself, SO far as concens Venice, which
she will retain, another. What rights the
members Of this Italian confederation are to
enjoy-what position the Pope will, as hon
orary President, occupy-whether the con-
dition of the Papal States Is to be improved
in any Representations Venice is any bet
ter off than she was before the war-whether
the Grand Dukes are to be reinstated-
the King of Naples is to stand-what, in a
word, is the full import of this Italian con-
federation, and what part Austrian or
French bayonets are henceforth to play in
the Peninsula, are questions yet be answer
ed. The friends of freedom are Justly alarm
ed for the future" -..l ~

RIT In the Kansas Constitutional Con-

were called on the question, whether women
should have the same control and manage
ment OF matters as men; that in all school
elections, and the exercise fall the duties OF
officers, no distinction should be male be-
tween them. The closing vote that settled
this point stood % for, to 81 against, all OF
the seventeen Democrats being of the latter
number.
