BES- just now there are very many
strangers in our city, and We have an item
which may be of no little interest to them,
and, under certain circumstance, might be
much to their profit.
There is a dry goods house lately estab-
lished here, which is selling goods upon the
New York system-ehegp for cash-One
price, and no deviation.
The business which GILES & AcPHEETERs
are conducting is emphaticaIly an Enterprise,
and every individual in this community is
directly interested in its success, for they
are selling goods at materially less prices
than were ever before known in Evansville.
Their goods are of the best quality, neaoest
styles, and beyond a doubt-eheaP. Re-
member the New York Store.

''It matters not to me, we overheard,
the other day, well-meaniug but deIuded
mechanic remark how much money the
Sheriff pockets; I pay no taxes /" My
friend, let us examine into this a minute.
You are an Industrious man. You have q
large family depending on your daily toll
for support. They have to be housed and
clothed When you were negotiating with
your landlord for tenement, did not the
high rent he charged for your little dwell
ing cause you to complain somewhat p
When You intimated that you thought the
rent exorbitant, what was the reply? We
venture that in nine cases out of ten it was
as follows Tdxes have increased TO such
an enormous ertent, we are compelled, in
self-defense, to raise the price of rent and
even at the present rates, real estate is the
most Improbable investment a man can
make" My laboring friend did it not oc-
cur to you, on hearing this remark, that you
in reality were the sufferer from high
tced by public officials While yon may
have no great amount of property to be
taxed, yet your muscles and brain are taxed
to their utmost capacity to feed and fatten
the leeches who have fastened themselves
upon the county treasury. Everything you
buy-everything you eat and wear-costs
you more when taxes are high than when
they are low. Even your weekly wages
is made to feel the curse. Your employer
cannotaford to pay you as good wages when
his taxes eat up large portion of his pro-
fits because he is compelled to compete with
establishments in locations where taxes are
light, and he is either forced to abandon
the field to these rivals or else cut down
the wages of his employees to make up for
his loss by excessive taxation. Laboring
men of Evansville: you are the direct and
real sufferers by such extortions on the
county as have been practiced by Sheriff
Gavitt. You who are struggling to get a
little ahead for rainy day. pay the excessive
taxes occasioned by these extortions, though
you may not own a single foot of ground
or a single house to shelter your little ones.
/ Will you be longer blinded by demagogue
/ appeals and throw your vote and influence
! for man who has been proren guilty Jy his
/ oaCn record, of living off your hard earnings,
| or will you repudiate him with the scorn
| he deserves, and try some other, to see il
| these outrages can't be suppressed

Common PIeas Judge.

From the implication of Judge Moore in
the Gavitt pecuations-tha is, from the
fact that without Judge Moores allowance
of the Sheriff S fraudulent Court bills, they
would not have been available, consequently
the taxpayers of the County would not
have been wronged out of their hundreds of
dollars-we say, reasoning from these prem
ises, every thinking man must see the i'm
perative necessity for Judges who can not
be swayed in their minds by petty political
and personal likes and dislikes. If mere
blind politicians, ignorant of law and ac-
knowledging responsibility to no influence
save to that of small partizan cliques, are
chosen over sound jurists and independent
thinkers, it does not require the gift of pres
cience to foretell that our courts of justice
will become a moekery, and their acts and
decisions a mere farce.
These reflections are forced on US when
we consider the claims on the public of the
two candidates for Common Pleas Judge.
Ben. Stinson, Esq, advances no claim to
thorough knowledge of law. His whole
experience in that line has been obtained in
'Squires' Offices, and is equaled by scores
of justices and constables in the District.
In this respect, what reproach would his
election be to four such counties as Wander
burgh, Posey, Warrick, and Gibson Mr..
Stinson as judge would be q mere pliable
and passive instrument in the hands of the
Vanderburgh Court House Clique. GaYitt
would mould him .to his wishes as if he
were piece of dough. In every act he
Mr.. Stinson) would have to consult a con-
clave in the Sheriff7s Office. The word of
Gavitt would be his higher law" and it
would only be necessary for a bill to be
made out by the Sheriff against the County
on account of the Common Pleas Court, for
it to be allowed, just as has been the case
under Judge Moore. Its justice and correct
ness would not receive serious thought.
The other candidate, Judge John Pitcher,
of Posey county, is a man of a different
1t is unnecessary to tell those who know
Mr.. Pitcher that if he should be elected
Judge, no person s0iU dare to present a false
or ertortondte bill to him for GUo1oance.-
He would consider such conduct as equivas
lent to an attempt to procure money under
false pretenses, and would treat it as such if
persisted in, no matter by whom-friend or
foe.
To new comers and persons who do not
know Judge Pitcher, we say, ask the older
residents about the respective qualifications
of Messrs. Pitcher and Stinson, and you
will be satisfied, if you can get an unbiased
opinion, that what we state is correct
Judge Pitcher is a man of the most deter
mined will, of independent mind, of
thorough legal abilities, of incorruptible in
tegrity, and one who will not allow any
imposition to be practiced on the public or
individuals where he has the power to pre-
vent it.
Which of these candidates is the most
fit for the responsible and important posi-
ton of Common Please Judge? We leave
it to every mans good sense to answer for
him, uninhuenced by party prejudice, or
personal considerations.

We learn that Sheriff Gavitt, as a last
resort to shield himself from the wrath of
an outraged people, is circulating among
the business men, for signatures, a certificate
stating that he has been a good Sherif,-or
something of the sort. 1t is also said that
some Republicans, giving way to his impor
tunities and through a mistaken generosity,
have attached their names to the paper. In
one of these instances the person doing so
told him he could not vote for him, and in
all the cases where Republicans have signed.
they had done so under the impression that
they were only endorsing him SO far as he
had done business for them.
Republicans ought, before signing such
document, to remember that it is a mere
electioneering dodge, to be perverted and
misrepresented in defending Mr.. Gavitt
against the charges of malfeasance, that he
feels are crushing him to the earth. The
signers may think no harm can grow out of
their action, but they will, when too late,
regret having subscribed to the certificate
We do hope that none of them will suffer
any feeling of sympathy to induce them
to indorse Mr.. Gavitt's official course, even
in the slightest respect, when they know he
is entirely reckless and desperate, and will
use any such advantage to the utmost, by
perversion and misrepresentation of the true
meaning of the certificate.
If no other feeling will deter Republicans
from showing generosity to this viper in
human shape, his disgraceful ISLANDERS against
them and their party should do SO. Do
they want to endorse all those ISLANDERS. If
SO, let them subscribe to the certificate, and
thus stigmatize themselves and their party
with every infamous epithet.

BoLTING.-The head of the Gavitt De-
mocracy-the Sheriff of this county-is
trying to coax and whip Breckinridge men
into the support of his ticket on the plea of
supporting the Democratic ticket. He has
a great deal to say TO them about " boiling"
He does not seem to recollect or if he does
his sublime assurance does not allow him
to care for, the fact that he bolted Niblack
and supported Hovey in 1853. He is
pretty subject to talk about " bolting," say
some of the Breckenridge and Lane men.

HUGHES has a great variety of trimmings
and notions in store which it is necessary to
inspect, as we have done, to enable one to
form an idea of what it is necessary to keep
in a dry goods store. His nice show case is
full of every article in this line that the
wants of the community could require.
His stock Of well selected dry goods he is
selling at very low prices. He is resolved
not to be outdone in this particular. He
always keeps the very best stock Of shoes
that is to be had in the city. He prides
himself on his stock of shoes. Go and
examine them aud you will be sure to pur-

The Newspaper Press,

This is q public benefcence and has
much to do with the progress, advance
ment, wealth and we'll being of each
community in its immediate vicinity.
Every men is morally bound to give
aid and support to his home newspaper
so far as he is able, or, as he is probably
benefited by it's publication-those who
do not, rob the publisher of his just dues.
Newspapers are established and pub
lished, in various localities, with the
tacit promise of a just, if not liberal
support, and those whe reap the benef-
cial results without corresponding re-
wards, are nothing else but selfish flch-
ers Of the rewards and earnings of 9TH
ers, and as such, we think, should be
held up to the just indignation of the
honest and generous, as those who are
dishonest, unjust, selfish and unreliable
as citizens or business men-we speak
mere particularly Of merchants, trades
people, and mechanics-who are especi-
ally benefited by newspapers, which are
the medium through which customers are
brought to their doors, and TO which
they are indebted for half their business.
A merchant may not consider it prop
er, polite, or even justifable, to adver-
tise in every paper published in his re-
gion Of country; he should correctly
weigh the ~i1stness Of his decisions, and
Judge Of his own business in this recpect.
But he will never whilst possessing even
the soul Of manhood, or the shadow of
~jnstioe or honesty. refuse to contribute
the mite the price of a weekly paper
that advocates his business place as a
good market. We hold, that, for their
own protection, publishers should expose
such men, as readily as they should
place locks upon their doors as safe
guards, against thieves and robbers.
The man who is too diminutive souled
to throw a cup of water at the roots of
the tree from which he gathers fruit,
deserves to have the gripes for using it.
Them.s u sentiments.
