The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1860-06-22

paper published yesterday morning an ar
ticle, complimentary to H. G. BarkwelI,
Esq, in connection with the Common
Pleas Judgeship soon to be made vacant
by the expiration of Judge DeBruler's term.
That tribdte was from the ROckport Demo-
crat, paper opposed to Judge DeBruler in
politics In the body of the article is
glowing tribute to the ability and upright
ness Of Judge DeBruIer. Whether these
complimentary allusions to Judge DeBru-
ler, were published unwittngly by the En-
quirer or not, we can not say; but they eff
fectualIy give the lie to the shameful slam
ders that have been published in the EnQu-
rer against Judge Deb. in connection with
his recent speech here.
We have never been cOgnizant of more
contemplate case of self-stultifcation than
this. Immediately on the heels of this out
rageous vilfcatiun Of Judge DeBruler by
the Enquirer and It's new Editor, comes this
disiuterestcd tribute to his worth as a man
aud uprigh;ness as n judge and through
kind Of righteous retribution, it is copied
into the Enquirer, as # to make more mani
/ fest the mendacity and reck iessness of that
sheet.
The Enquirer seems to have a fatality
hanging over it. 1t has committed blunders
and misdeeds without number, but as if to
crown its cxceptionable career Gan old
Wing takes charge Of its editorial col
umns and forces it into Inconsistencies, all
surdities, and difficulties innumerable. Our
humble opinion is, that the Guerrilla Editor
bad better be ''choked off before he runs
the concern " into the ground"
BURGLARS ABOUT. Our quiet city is be-
coming quite as famous in the way of house
breaking and rascality as some of her more
tonish neighbors. Every night the present
week attempts have been made by the noe
Z turnal robbers to break in and despoil the
property Of our citizens, and IN several in
stances they have been quite successful in
their d" cribbing" operations.
/ \ short time ago the city was visited by
a number of gamblers, to whom our excel
lent marshal, Mr.. Martin, quietly intimated
that their room was better than their COM
pany when deeming a word TO the wise
! sufficient, they took the hint and departed.
But being unable to overcome their atfec-
ton for the place, they concluded to return
in the night when they could demonstrate
their fonduess without disturbing any one.
Attracted by handsome case of jewelry
and watches which Mr.. Levy keeps in his
clothing store on Water street, they attempt
ed on Monday night to pay it a visit, but
being uninvited, no preparation had been
made to receive them. So they wrenched off
! the paddock which fastened the door and
tried to force it open, but alas for them
heavy iron bar held it fast closed between
them and the object of their atfectons.
Fearing the noise they were making might
draw more spectators to witness their op-
erations than was desirable, they were
forced to leave without effecting an entrance
On Tuesday night they entered the bar
room of the Union Hotel through awindow,
forced the money drawer open with hatch
ct, abstracted the contents, and effected their
escape, taking with them about $50 in
money and other property, and leaving
small burglarous looking key, with which
they had tried to unlock the drawer before
breaking it open.
The same night one of them effected an
entrance into the Gining-room of the Man
sion House. and attempted to pass from
thence up the stairs, IN order to visit some
of the rooms above Finding the door lead
ing into the hall locked, he retraced his
steps, and entered the bar-rOom through a
back window, where after ransacking the
drawers, Sc. without finding anything, he
again attempted to get to the stairs, but
finding his progress stopped as before by a
lock, he began to take it off, and had sue
ceeded in extracting two screws, when he
became frightened at some thing and left
the house, carrying OIL only Mr.. Colett's
spectaclcs and II small screw driver, and
leaving his pocket-knife sticking under the
window where he entered.
There were in the room several trunks
belonging to Hoarders, some valuable
clothing, and double-barreled gun which
were not disturbed.
The next attempt of these enterprising
gentlemen was made on Wednesday even
ing, when they forced open the door of Mr.
Sonntags Hardware store on Main street,
and succeeded in carrying off nearly the
entire contents Of showcase contain
ing lot of fine cutlery, revolvers, &c,
amounting in value to between $500 and
$500. No clue has yet been obtained which
may lead to the detection and arrest of the
burglars.
Yesterday morning Recorder Mcbride
found one of the stolen pistols in the posses.
sion Of a man who represented that he had
! bought it upon the street, paying eight dol.
lars for it. Having given satisfactory evi-
