New Hotel.

The following liberal offer from Mr., Rudd
will test the sincerity of the professions of a
desire among our citizens fora new Hotel.
If the stock be not taken under this propo-
sition, we shall despair of seeing hotel
erected here by a joint stock company; and
it will belong before any individual citizen
will undertake it, for large hotels, in all ex
cept the largest cities, are not dividend
paying Institutions Their builders must
look for their returns in the influence of
such establishments upon the general basi-
ness of the place. The offer of Mr.. Rudd
secures moderate dividend in cash, and
the indirect and incidental adyantagesit will
be to every business man and property hold
err in town, will make an additional profit,
which ought to be enough to secure an inn
mediate subscription of the amount needed.
The furniture of the house will cost at least
$4,000; this will be an ample pledge
to the shareholders for the fulflment
of the contract on the part Of Mr.. Rudd.-.
We shall know, now, by the manner
in which this proposition is received,
whether there be public spirit and enter
prise enough among us to get upa first class
hotel. We sincerely hope it may not fail,
but that every business man and owner of
property win give it his aid if it be but
mite. Wherever it may be located, it will
benefit property in all parts of the city,
though some may be enhanced by it more
than others. All cannot share alike in the
advantages of it, but it is selfish envy that
prompts a man to refuse aid to public en-
terprise because he cannot share all the ad-
vantages from it that some Of his neighbors
are likely to obtain:
Mr.. CARLILE-Sir: Will you permit me
through your paper, to make proposition
to the citizens of Evansville in regard to
Hotel, the subject of which has been agi-
tatcd for some time past. All readily con-
cur in the great necessity of large Hotel,
and many seem willing to take stock in
the. same, but all seem reluctant to take hold.
To have the matter decided as soon as
possible, propose that there be a stock of
fifty thousand dollars subscribed, the amount
to be expended in the purchase of the
grounds and in the erection of the build
ing. | viii then furnish the house IN
suitable manner for such building and
will pay all taxes and assurances, and guar
tee TO the stockholders five per cent. per
annum on their stock for term of five
years from the completion Of same.
The books for stock will be opened i'm
two Or three days; the citizens can then say
whether or not they wish new Hotel.
j. Yours, respectfully,
S. j. RUDD.

Answer to No. z of Miscellaneous Cues
tons by Quiz, No. D. Which will be the
best. policy, to move the city nearer to the
Fair Ground, or the Fair Ground nearer TO
the city? 1t would be equally difficult to
move the Fair Ground proper to the city, rs
the city to the Fair Ground, and as they are
both equally impossible, there would be no
good policy in attempting either; but as the
houses and lots would not be interested in
the in the exhibition, would suggest that
the citizens be moved to the Fair Ground,
which l think would be better policy than
either of the propositions of Quiz. E.

neA, The arguments of the opponents of

neA. The arguments of the opponents of
q Constitutional Convention would-if they
were admitted to be of any force-make the
people of Indiana, in. the eyes of all the
world, the meanest and most contemptibly
mercenary people on the face OF the eartn.
They admit that the provision for biennial
sessions is great mistake; that the State
suffers great inconvenience and wrong from
the clause; and that annual sessions should
be restored. There are serious errors, too,
in the restrictions upon the right of the peo-
pie to provide for their own schools and
there are many other grievances that need
remedies, but they must be borne patiently
because it will cost $4,000 to call Con-
vention to make a speedy and complete
reformation of the evils. We must trust to
luck, and try to extort the labor
without any ADDITIONAL expense-out of what
one Of them declares to be, usually, an idle,
inattentive, "gassing," oyster-eating, cham
paigne-guzzling body-the members OF
which ordinarily spend their time in making
buncombe speeches, trading for Offices, and
"larking it about Indianapolis, and who
could do all their work in twenty days bet
ter than they now do it in sixty days.
The people, they say, must change the
character of the body, and send only
good men to the Legislature. So, we
must wait till political partiesare puri-
fed; till demagogues cease to delude; till
there is great moral revolution in politics,
and an intellectual improvement in the
people, before we can have a reform of the
errors in our Constitution because to at
tempt to do it by a Convention will cost
$4,000. This is the sole, constantly re-
curing parsimonious objection.
Almost every State in the Union has
adopted the vicious principle of subjecting
it 5 constitution to Legislative amend
ments and what has been their experience
Is there single instance-even in States
where the Legislators lave unrestricted time
for deliberation-where an amendment, es-
sential to the good of the people, uncon-
nected with party politics, has been
carried through tine Legislative forms
of amendment Partizan doctrines have
been embodied into amendments and
forced through by party discipline,
like the Know Nothing amendment in
Massachusetts,, and the abolition negro suf-
frage change in New York. These are the
sort-and the only species-of amendments
that can be carried through Legislatures,
the members of which are elected for their
partizan zeal, rather than for their abil-
ity and honesty. Till there is an entire
revolution in the morals of politics, the Leg
islature will remain an unfit body for the
revision of the great fundamental laws of a
State; and one Of the alterations that should
receive the attention of Convention is
provision to prohibit the Legislature from
ever tinkering with the Constitution.

gsDH Perpetual roses require now to be
well mulched; that is, cover the ground oil,
around and among them three to four inches
deep with saw-dust, rotten leaves, new-mow
grass, or any other litter you may choose.
Water once thoroughly upon this mulch, and
IN few days plants that, before mulching,
appeared dried Up, will commence growing,
and, in u short time, bloom freely. To have
eyer-bloomng roses in this bot climate,
mulching is absolutely necessary.

Oregon POlttica.

Some friend in that distant State has sent
US file OF Oregon papers, from which it APP
pears there isa terrible turmoil in the politic-
al affairs of the youngest sister of the Union.'
The Oregon Argus-which PROCESSES to be
Independent of party-declares that the 10.
Lane dynasty has been broken down. 1t
says;
"Thcre is at this time, acondition oflhings
in the ranks of partyism that never before
has been known in Oregon, is known to
every man who has either eyes or ears
DISCRIMINATION, confusion, and Instruction
seem to have seized hold of the masses, and
multitudes who have hitherto been induced,
either from the charm Of captivating name
or the fear of the lash of some whipper-in, to
support the regular nominee" every time
it became necessary to elevate some aspiring
dewagogue to Office, seem all at once to have
been seized with spirit of INSTRUMENTATION.
that threatens future emancipation from
the shackles eff partyism." y-arr.e ~.
II adds: That there has been new era
inaugurated in the history of politics of this
country, we think that even 10 Lane, with
all his stupidity, and delusion, with the
blindness of his egotism, are now learning
in their fruitless efforts to delude the people
into the belief that to take passage on the
miserable craft of which Lane is the figure
head, Delusion the hull, and Dolf the stern,
would be certain ship-wreck. AS much
of stolid ignorance and blind fanaticism as
they have calculated on inducing the people
here to ratify the contract Lane has the i'm
pudence to tell them he made with the
Southern disunionists, pledging them the
vote of Oregon for the next ten years as a
condition OF our admission into the Union,
we think that they will find in the result of
this election that the people of Oregon are
less stupid and demagogue-ridden than they
had supposed.
