The "Autooraty Piano.

EDITOR JOURNAL Laying myself liable
to the reproach of croaking, cannot omit
to say few words in regard to the dona-
ton of the piano to the steamer -Aatocrat.
Justly and deservedly we all take pride
in that splendid steamer, seeing in her per-.
feet model, speed, and comfort, the begin
ming ola new enterprise, and the means of
making our city known, and having that
importance attached to her that she, by her
trade and enterprise, is entitled to and
taking this view, the writer of this highly
approve ed of the movement of manifesting the
warm feelings of the citizens by presenting
fine piano to the boat, as a token of ac-
acknowledgement of citizens to fellow-citizens,
who started project calculated to be pro-
dactive of increasing the trade of our city,
| and conducive to her general growth.
But why, gentleman buy piano manu-
factured at Louisville, when we could get
one that was manufactured here, as good in
tune, exquisite in finish, or as cheap in
price ? Do you not know that we have an
| exc 'ent piano maker here in the person of
Mr.. Christian Decker, a gentleman who, in
point of the workmanship, taste, and tune
| of his pianos, is inferior to none? When
will we talk less about our patriotic efforts
to have all put their shoulders together for
the purpose of making city of Evansville,
aud do more for our home manufacturers
and mechanics? How many buy pianos
abroad, without taking the trouble TO see
whether they could not just as well be suit
ed here, thereby leaving the money here in
place of enriching other cities to the detri-
ment of our own mechanics and manufac-
turers?
Mr.. G. Decker is a young man, who has
been among us several years, and has
worked faithfully TO build up his business
here. When in other cities man of his
ability and ingenuity could prosper, he had
to contend with obstacles of all kinds here
and now again the cold shoulder is turned
to him. His pianos are as good and as
cheap as you buy them at Louisville or
Cincinnati; besides which he keeps them
tuned gratis whenever they get out of tune

CoNTEMpTIBLE.-Th following item we

January: e@ ae sss..a....as.s
"The citizens of Louisville presented a
magnificent piano to the captain of the new
steamer Autocrdt. The instrument cost

The Gazette pretends to be respectable
paper, and to furnish reliable news to its
readers. Now we submit whether the above
does not bear on it's face the marks of down
right stupidity or simon-pure meanness. If
the Gazette river-editor means to act the
hog towards Evansville, like certain other
river editors not thousand miles from here,
let him say SO plainly, so we may know it.
If he hasn'tSsense enough to get up an item
without bluuder such as mistaking Evans
vile for Louisville, he had better throw up
his situation and go to street scraping
There seems to be a Systematic design to
underrate Evansville Let those engaged
in it continue in the dirty work but we
intend to hammer away at them until they
are willing to give the place credit for what
she merits. -s

Reg~ Mr.. Douglas, in his speech on his re.
solution in reference to the Harper's Ferry
difficulty, comedies that there is an " irrepres-
sible conflict. We quote:
"Sir, when returned home in 1858, for
the purpose of canvassing Illinois, with a
view to reelection, had to meet this issue
of the "irrepressible conflict. 1t is true
that the Senator from New York had not
then made his Rochester speech, and did
not for four months afterwards. 1t is true
that he had not given the doctrine that pre-
else name and form; bat the principle aOas
tn existence, and had been proclaimed by
the ablest men in the party.
We would ask the Senator from Illinois,
if the principle was in existence, what
harm was there in Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Sew
ards sa ying so.

Communicated
Our IHAtereaf.

Our interest demands that we all, rs citi-
zens of Evansville, should act in good
faith towards every enterprise that will aid
the growth and increase the wealth of our
city; and it Is with regret that we learn
from our Canal Managers that small por-
ton of those who subscribed certain
amounts, to sustain and keep our Canal in
navigable order, are now holding back, and
by their acts refusing to pay the last as
sessment on the stock they subscribed
Such course, if persisted in, will dry up
one of our greatest channels of trade and
commerce for without money to pay off
the balance of Indebtedness, created last
summer in making those Improvements that
we re actually necessary to make the Canal
navigable, the ,repair boats, teams, and
tools, will he levied on by those having
Just claims against the Company for labor
and materials. Now, is it right or just
to thus embarrass the Managers, some of
whom have subscribed literally as any,
and have given their time gratis in taking
charge of the Canal ?
The undertaking on their part has been
laborious, and has greatly interfered with
their private business. For the last two
months the expenses have been very much
reduced by the discharge of all the men
employed except fifteen, who are employed
as watchmen, and are most needed The
managers and superintendent inform us that
the canal is now i'll better condition, and,
| to all appearances, more reliable than it has
| ever been before. 1t is now about nine
management. and Notwithstanding the
water was drawn off for about two months
last summer, navigation has been interrupt
ell less than ever before in the same length
once more on the delinquents TO collect that
which Is due, and we do hope that there
will be no further cause for complaint on
account of nom payment.
The books are open to all the subscribers
at the canal office, where they can ascertain
the fact that the canal funds have been very
judiciously expended, and that nearly twice
as much work has been done for about hal
the amount of money.in the last nine months
as was done in the same length of time be
fore. The managers have resolved TO bring
suit against all delinquents, as the indebted
ness has been created on their promises
We regret to say that there is one subscri
Der who refuses to pay the previous install
ments, and judgment now stands agains
him for the amount. SUBSCRIBERS.

A FALSE REPoRr.-Some malicious per-
son has recently circulated the report that
LYONS is about to fail in business but we
can assure our readers that the report is en-
tirely unfounded. We presume the impress
sion gained credence from the fact that
LYONS has recently been selling clothing at
such very low rateszthat many persons sup
posed that he certainly must be losing
money. But the secret of LYONS being able
to sell goods so low, lies in the fact that he
buys goods principally for cash at very low
figures, sells goods at low rates in order to
increase his trade, and has recently deter
mined to close out the residue of his stock
at simply a sufficient advance to pay for the
handling of them. He has still some excel
lent over-eoats and neat business suits
which he is selling at extremely low fig
ures. feb-1

Bay~The Detroit Free Press says that q
new disease, which short time since Gre
ated quite panic in Paris, on account of
its singular nature and extreme fatality, has
made its appearance in that vicinity and has
been fatal in each instance. The malady
arises from the effects of cold, which ope-
rates in such a manner as to form an exuda-
ton in the trachea and bronchial tubes and
vesicles belonging to and connecting with
the lungs, thereby preventing all access by
the iuhaled air to the blood. 1t is somewhat
similar to the Group, with the exception that
there is no cough.

The Canal.

We publish to-day communication call
ing on the subscribers to the fund for keep
ing in repair the lower section of the Canal,
+ to come forward and pay up their assess
ments. The Canal is great benefit to the
| city, and the time is close at hand when its
utility will be appreciated. 1t is important,
! therefore, that the necessary funds TO keep
it in navigable order, be paid in without
| delay.
The managers, aud not the subscribers,
pair boats, teams, tools, &C., that they re-
ceived from them, and the right exists at
any time 10 return the same or similar
property to cover their value. The mama
gers would be unwise if they did not pro-
tect themselves by resignirg and returning
said property when the subscribers refuse to
protect them by the non-payment of their
assessments.
The Canal is now said to be in fine con-
dition. A large amount Of produce has been
shipped over it within the last sixty days,
and much more is yet to come. The tolls
on freight coming from above White river
have been reduced, in order to induce ship
pers TO send freights to this point by Canal,
instead of shipping by railroad at the cross
ing of the o. & NJ. R. R., and contracts are
being made to bring corn and other grain
to this point by the Canal, which has here
tofore gone over the above railroad. 1t is
confidently believed that the Canal will be
hereafter self-supporting, in case no severe
accidents occur.
Few people are aware of the amount of
business transacted on the Canal. 1t is far
too important feeder 20 the business of the
city to be permitted to go to destruction for
want of repairs.
The Trustees have assured the present
board of local managers that if the Canal
is given up by the said managers, it will go
into disuse.
