We desire to call Judge Laws attention
to the fact that during next week Judge
DeBruIer will address the people of Glib
son county on the political issues of the
day, aud 8 repeat the invitation which
Judge DeBruler more than week ago ex-
tended t1 udge L.. to meet him in debate
at tilat time We urge upon Judge Law
tie inn snce of accepting. There will
be no lie placed in the way. The day
has not go fixed, and we are confident
Judge DeBruler will as far as possible con-
suit the convenience of his opponent, and
allow him to name any day during the
week for the discussion. We understand
that Judge Law is to address the Democra-
cy of Knox county at their County Conven-
ton next Saturday. 1t will be very little
trouble for him to drop off the cars at
Princeton on his return the next week.
After three weeks previous notice, let US not
learn through the Enquirer that the Judge
has such engagements as will not permit
his acceptance.

amusing entertainments, in the orsaias. &

er's calliope began to whistle up the Gus.
TONER'S a large crowd had collected or
the levee, many of whom did not gain adj
mittance.
The performance, though parrakio- at
the general character OF such exhibiae4e
introduced many novel features, and
pronounced by haGtIass of Ethiopian con-
certs, decidedly the best show Of the kInd
they had ever witnessed. The music was
excellent, and the delineations Of negro
character and mimicry of the voices Of va
rious birds aud animals were unequaled-
The jokes were all fresh and new, and OF
the quality denominated side-splitting.
The Minstrels give another of their ex-
hibitions this evening, and we advise all
who believe in the adage, " laugh aud grow
fat" and who would enjoy such an agreea-
BILE mode of putting flesh on their spare

road debt. Had the Council not done
their duty--had they permitted COM
plants and grumblings of property-holders
to overcome their judgment of the true
value of property-the levy would have
been fully S1.25 on the 500. AS it is, the
tax is light, considering the extraordinary
expense of street improvements, sewers, and
other items which always accompany the
first grand start that young and growing
city makes toward eminence and consid-
ering also that an unusual payment of $780,
333 is nearly all provided for by this levy.
1t must also be taken into account that this
levy provides for the extending and sus-
tanning of our most excellent system of
public schools-the pride of Evansville,
which render her one of the most desirable
places of residence in the West. And it
must not be forgotten that an old floating
debt is being paid off by the present city
government. Bearing all these matters in
mind, all reasonable men will acknowledge
that the taxes are not higher than are abso-
lutely necessary, and that the total valuation
of property is not excessive.
Aside from the disproportionate assess
ment on personals, caused by the underval-
uation of former years, the increase over
1859 is quite uniform; and the whole is so
large as to show wonderful growth for the
place. Just think of it-an increase of near
a million dollars in taxables in one year
Truly Evansville is progressive city

THE HOMESTEAD LAw.-We commence
the publication to-day of the great speech
on the Homestead Bill, delivered by Galusha
A. Grow of Pennsylvania. 1t contains
sentiments and declarations of purpose on
the part of Mr.. Grow and the Republican
party which go right to the heart of the
poor laboring man and take captive his ad-
miration, no matter to what party he may
belong.
Read the speech, every one, and :ecollect
when reading it, that the excellent bill to
which Mr.. Grow alludes in it (which we
may publish) passed the Opposition House
and was sent to the Democratic Senate,
where it was made to give way to a poor
excuse for Homestead Bill gotten up by
Senator johnson of Tennessee. The two
bills were mixed together, and after great
delay passed by the Senate, but Uetoed by
the Democratic President! Laboring man,
remember this, and vote for the party that
has ever been anxious to give you liber-
al, generous Homestead Bill, but has been
prevented 10y the Democratic party
The speech will run through three OH
four issues of the Daily and be published
entire in the next Weekly. 1t will De q.

The Ladies' to Hear CHsstus NJ. Clay.
Everywhere in the State, Mr.. Clay has
been received by immense crowds of people.
Probably no man ever drew out such
overwhelming thrOngs in the Pocket as are
assembling TO hear him-and by none is
a greater desire and curiosity shown than by
the ladies. In every other place we read of,
large numbers of the ladies compose part of
his audiences. They always admire and
love to honor true bravery and gallantry
There is general interest on the part of
our fair readers to hear Mr.. Clay, we be-
lieve and we are requested to say that the
Lincoln Wide Awakes have taken the
matter in charge, and will have the east
wing of the Market House comfortably
provided with seats for their accommoda-
ton, and will see that they are guarded
from the press of the large crowd that will
be present tonight. We hope TO see the
ladies out in large numbers-their presence
at political meetings tempers and moralizes
the heat and excitement of political dis
cussions, and at our Lincoln demonstra-
tions, they will always be greeted by the
gallantry of the Wide Awakes.

Late and Reliable statistics.

The Vincennes San, sheet noted for its
general accuracy of statement, especially
where "facts and figures are concerned,
has it seems some very late census informa-
ton, which for the edifcation of all
whom it may concern, and the rest of man
kind, We repeat.
The San says that it learns from the
census man that the population of Yincennes
will not exceed $500, being much under
the general estimate. 1t also advances the
original idea that very few towns win show
population as large as the usual estimate.
1t then, by way of illustration, discloses the
alarming fact that Evansville will not show
over 5000 souls. Now we are not dis
posed to question the accuracy of the Sun,
nor to doubt that it speaks from knowledge.
All we say is, that granting the Suns state
ment, there has been a very great mortali-
ty among US recently that we never heard
of-or, our census marshal has seen some
body drinking, whereby his vision was
doubled. Some time last week he reported
count of 1900, and was still on his
winding way, confident of finding more
of the same sort on the streets and alleys,
in the houses and back yards which he had
not yet explored. 1t is confidently believed
that he will not find more people than there
are, but if he should we will chronicle the
fact
In regard to the population of our neigh
boring city, we feel no disposition to dispute
the statement of the Sun. We are fully per-
suaded it was justified in saying that the
number does not ereeed $500, the more es-
pecialIy as the Vincennes Gazette, of date
one day later than the Sun, states the popu-
laton at 1000. Having thus enlightened
the world on this momentuous subject, we
gracefully subside, and await with patience
the next scintillation of the San.
