NEW YORK, Sept 22.-The Express says !:
1t is understood that VIM. G. Lane & Co.,
one of the leading dry goods houses of this
city, have asked for an extension of one
year from their creditors. The house owes
one million two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, with surplus of over one million
dollars, which cannot be readily realized,
on account of the present condition Of the
Southern trade The house also asked a
loan of 100000 of its creditors, with
which it feels able to proceed as usual.

Election News.

We intend to make all possible arrange
ments to give the election returns with the
utmost promptitude, both for the State and
National elections We shall pay particu-
lar attention to our own locality, and hope
to be able to give the returns of this District
complete for the coming State election by
the Saturday following election day (Tues-
day, October 9th), at farthest. Whether we
can do this, depends, not upon our own ell
terprise altogether, but upon the public spir-
it Of our friends in the several counties Of
the District
We hope to be seconded in our endeavors
by persons in the various localities. Any
accommodation extended to US and the pub
lie in the way of returns furnished, will be
reciprocated by sending to the persons fur
nishing us with news, copies of the Journal
containing the very latest received to the
time we hear from them.
Persons sending US returns will please
specify whether the vote is "reported or
official" They will also, in writing, form
their figures plainly, so there may be no
mistakes.
We hope our friends will second US in our
endeavors 10 give the news promptly to the,
public, for the general benefit The news
in this part of the State has generally
Jagged behind that of other portions. Let
US show the country that we are wide awake,
as well as the balance of the people. We
are not so much isolated but that adequate
energy can overcome, in a great degree, the
disadvantage of want of railroad facilities.

S65- MEssRs. GILES & MoPHEETERs open
their New York Store this morning
The principle upon which they intend to
conduct their business is sufficient ofitseIf to
insure success; for rs certain as it is to the
interest of every one to buy goods where
they can SAVE MONEY and at the same time
get the best article, just so certainly will
people feel it their duty to make their pur-
chases there.
There is, besides, satisfaction in know
ing that, whether you be poor or rich, what
ever you buy of them is sold to you as low
as the same quality of goods is sold in any
city East and you run no risk of paying
any more, for they have but one price,
marked in plain figures, and no one III their
employ is permitted to ask more under any
circumstances. They expect to make money,
not by large profits but by a large business.
The advantages of New York are thus
brought to our doors, for none have better
facilities for buying goods cheap than they.

Embroideries, &C., &c, their stock is very

A New HORSE ON THE TRACK.-We an
nounce in to-days issue the name of Mr.. J.
s. McCRACKEN, as a candidate for the Office
of Recorder of Vanderburgh county. He
belongs to the Breckinridge wing of the
Democracy, and is a fair representative of
those pesky " Disunionists, as some politi-
cians delight to call them. OF course, Nc,
being a" Disunionist," is in favor of civil
war, dissolution, and q general smashing up
of things in case Old Abe Is elected. So
rantankerous "disunionistp is Nc. that he
has been called Yancey No. 2. However,
he is prepared to enter into compromise
so as to restore peace to the distracted
country. If the people of Yanderburgh
will elect him Recorder, he will consent
that Old Ale shall take his seat in the
White House. He says there is no back
out in this race, and he presents but two
alternativea-either to elect him Recorder
or, to see the Union slide Voters will gov
ern themselves accordingly. If he is beaten,
they must e look out for sawyers"

To tho Citizens of Evansville.


1t IS being charged through the columns
of the journal that Mr.. Sheriff Gavitt has
been dischargiug the duties Of his Office un-
faithfully in many respects and under cover
of his position defrauding the County. In
order that there may be full understand
ing of the matter, and that Mr.. Gavitt may
have the full benefit of any explanations he
may have to give, it has been suggested that
there be a meeting of the citizens of Evans
Vile at the Court House, on Monday eve
ming, the oath inst. At the meeting Mr..
Gavitt his attorneys, and friends can have
an opportunity of showing the people, if it
is so, that his record is all right. This is
serious matter and should be seriously and
calmly discussed. Let the people come to-
gether dispassionately and without preju-
dice, find out the truth, and acquit him who
is blameless, ard lay their hands heavily
upon him who is guilty.

A CoRRECTIoN.-In estimating the cost
of juries, in our article on the Sheriff, by
inadvertence we included in the estimate
some of the allowances made to the deputy
for Court services. 1t increases the Jury
item to that extent, but does not in the least
alter the amount of illegal allowances to
the Sheriff.

THE MYSTERY ACCOUNTED FoR.-Sherif
Gavitt has made it his frequent boast in
public, that the Sherifalty was worth from
So, 900 to 5000 per year. That is the rea-
son, he bas said frequently, why he wants
it. Nobody will doubt, from the way he has
been making out bills without authority
of law, and thrusting both arms up to the
elbows in the County treasury and always
drawing his fists out full, that the office has
been worth to him even more than he
boasts Of
No wonder he can buy and keep fast
horses, spend weeks Mt Charleston and Bal
timore at Conventions on big expense,
fee horde of retainers, hangers-on, and
lick -spttles to do his dirty work, and pack
conventions at pleasure. Money -especi-
ally the free run of the County Treasury
will accomplish wonders ~
Gavitt has managed Sharply. He has
pulled the wool over the eyes of even the
most respectable taxpayers of the county
He has soft-soaped them into his support,
while he was draining their pockets by
means of charges made withoutthe shadow
of law, to support him in his extravaganza
and riotous living.

choly paragraphs have been in the columns
Of the Chicago and Milwaukee dalies ever

with her precious freight of four hundred
souls went down in the blue waters of Lake
Michigan. We may here state that very
large sums Of money have been offered for
the recovery Of the two bodies first men,
toned.
Wednesday morning two bodies were ta-
ken from the Lake at Evanston, which have
been identified as the bodies of the wife of
Col. Lumsden, and of Mrs Garth. Each
Of these bodies was from five feet two inch
es to five feet four inches high. Tho one
identified as the body of Mrs. Lumsden had
on only portion Of chemise, and plain
cotton skirt. On the fingers of the left
hand were several diamond rings. Her up
per teeth were all gone, as if they had been
a false set, and had fallen out
The body recognized as that of Mrs Garth
had on hoop skirt, portion of striped
silk waist, no stockings or shoes. She had
five rings on her fingers, and locket, and
had five upper teeth on gold plate. These
bodies will be taken care of until the friends
of the deceased can be communicated with.
The body Of man was found on the
Lake shore near Miller's, Ind, Wednesday
afternoon. 1t haa on grey mixed pants,
