EDITOR JOURNAL:
Our county Auditor, it appears, cannot
patiently waitsshe :decision of the county
thst put him IN pffiee, but hastens to be his
own vihdicatof.s Many influential citizens
of Centre Township are of opinion that it
would have been quite time enough for him
to vindicate himself when the committee
would be in session, and they trust that his
sensitiveness will only serve to make the
other townships more urgent for an investi-
cation. If our worthy Auditor will refer to
the communication of Centre, he will find
a conclusive answer to his uncalled-for ha-
rangue on IGNORANCE and forgetfulness'
in the following paragraph I" 1t will gene
rally be acknowledged that an officer that sig
nifies an unwillingneSs to such course
(meaning an investigation stlnds self-con-
demned, rhiLst one rhO is conscious Of hdU-
ing done his duty, ,could rather solicit an in
restigdtion than other,ciSe." He speaks OF
the probability of the citizens of Centre
leaving Evansville if they resided there, in
consequence of the additional taxes. They
might probably be induced to leave from
the very unfair use that has been made of a
part of their school funds. 1t will be well
to inform our worthy Auditor, by the by,
that the citizens of Centre have read the
newspapers enough to know, from his own
annual report to which he refers, that there
has been an understandable waste of their
hard earnings, in the contract for the annu-
al advertising of that very report and the
delinquent list. CENTRE.

a SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. Geo. Davidson, a
drayman well known about our streets,
aged about 40 years, went to bed on Sun
day night in his usual robust health. Not
rising so early as usual on Monday morn
ing, some of the inmates of the house went
to his room and found him in the agonies OF
death. 1t is supposed that he had had fit
of apoplexy. He leaves two young father
less and motherless children.

ssa.. The merchants and business men of
New Orleans, on the 22d inst, gave fare
we'll diuner to Mr.. James Robb, the well
known banker, who has been prominently
connected with the business Of the city for
the last twenty years. After experiencing
the sad disasters that occur to the shrewdest
and most cautious men in mercantile life,
he is about to seek new field of enterprise
in California, and departs in few days for
San Francisco. The company was one of
the largest ever assembled on similar occa-
sion in the city, and embraced distinguished
men in all the active pursuits of life. The
compliment was as fiattering TO the recipi-
ent as il was well merited.

seA. The people of Railway, N. j., are
having a ghost excitement. \ certain
house there is said to be haunted. A double
listed fellow, fearing neither mau nor Satan,
lately took his gun, and repairing to the
house, soon had an opportunity of seeing
the ghost. He fired, and when the smoke
cleared away, he fled for his life. An Irish
family had tried living in the house, but
were soon frightened away. A Drtchman
also tried it, but soon fled, leaving :, barrel
of saur kraut which he dare not go bacl;
after.

Evansville Property.

There has never been SO healthy and
steady demand for town lots in this city
as at present; and within six months past
many hundred lots have been bought for
improvement, and some few on speculation.
The demand for building lots is steady and
increasing. The erection of dwelling houses
did not stop at all during the mild winter,
aud has gone steadily on during the last
three or four years of severe pecuniary
pressure and yet there is more difficulty in
getting a dwelling of any character now,
than at any previous time in the history of
the town The demand for bricks and
lumber, for some months, has been greater
than the supply, and is still growing. We
have had more new manufacturing estab-
lishments and new business houses opened
in the past six months, than in the same period
at any other time; and, what is still better,
they all seem to prosper.
The population of the city never increas-
ed 80 fast as at present, and this is time of
trial and depression to many other towns and
cities in the Northwest. We only need
one good crop and the returns which it
viii bring and restoration of ordinary
commercial prosperity, to give this city an
impetus in growth, such as no Indiana town
has ever yet had. 1t has been found that
our manufactures can compete successfully
with those of any other place, in long list
of articles now manufactured here; and
that there is an immense scope of country
which can be better and more cheeply ac-
commodated with both foreign merchandise
and domestic manufactures at Evansville,
than at any other point.
Our taxes have been rather high for two
or three years, bat we are fast out-growing
that objection, as there is no engagement
or liability thus far entered into, by the
city, which will in the future require more
than a moderate taxation. Our town lots
are rated lower than in any other place of
the same size and prosperity in the country.
The best corner lots for business change
hands at less than SIS per foot front,
whilst not the best inside property at Indian
apolis has lately brought $500 per foot
We sell more merchandise at wholesale, by
two or three fold, and do more manufac-
turing than any city of the State; and yet
our rents are much lower in proportion,
than of any other city. Our business men
are very generally not only solvent, but very
strong, and there is more general prosperity
in Evansville now than at any former time
