( w AsHINGrON, Dec. 3, P. M.-Among the
various propositions with a view of quietipg G
the present political evils is one that the
Representatives OF all the Southern States
South Carolina excepted-have a confer
ence and prepare a list of their grievances,
ami what will satisfy them as remedy
This Is to be submitted to the conservative
Republicans and if it meet with sufficient fa-
vor from them, then, after the reading of
the Presidents Mossage-that part in refer
ence to the political trouble be referred to a
committee of one from each State. This
proposition is being discussed to-day and it
ls said that several prominent Republicans
have already acquieseed in it.
The u. S. Supreme Court met in their
new chamber at noon. Chief Justice Taney
and all the associate Judges were present
except Judge Wayne
The Court shortly afterwards adjourned
to the White House to personally pay their
respects to the President and afterwards
sent their cards to the Vice-President.
After the adjournment Of the Supreme
Court the members of the bar practicIng in
that Court held meeting to express their
regret at the death Of associate Justice
Daniels, which occurred during the vacation.
The congratulations among the members of
both Houses of Congress were seemingly as
cordial AS heretofore. Many of them met to-
day for the first time in their respective
cham bers, since the last session The as
snrances of the Representatives and others
from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, that
these States will positively follow the move
ment of South Carolina have Enthusiastically
alarmed the conservatives, who, before |
coming here, were of the opinion that that |
State only would venture on secession The |
Republican Senators held a caucus to-day |
with reference to the formation of the |
standing committees.

| This is period of great financial distress
amongst our business men. Nearly all OF
them are staggering under heavy load. A
curtailment of expenses and forcing of
receipts is the order of the day. To day
| (the 4tb) will, we fear, be bad time
! amongst them, it being the last day of grace
on paper due the lst 1t is hoped our cap
italists, and others having money lying idle,
will put it to good use by loaning it to bnsi-
ness men. This state of things cannot last
long. The generality OF Evansville bust
ness men have not indnlged in wild enter
prises nor indiscriminate credit; they have
not lived d" fast; they have been indnstri-
Gus, economical, and prudent therefore it
cannot be said that they are inherently
weak in finances. On the contrary, they
are safe and reliable, with very few excep-
tions, as we verify believe.
The terrible financial storm that devastat-
ed the country North East and North West
Of this region, in 1857 and 1888. this city
measurably escaped 1t cannot be expected
that she should always he SO fortunate. Ac-
cordingly, her turn may now have come TO
be hard pressed in money matters. If SO,
we shall all have to live prudently and
work industriously, and all will yet come
out well Getting frightened will only
make matters worse.
! We believe that nine ont of ten of our
merchants and manufacturers are sound in
any event except a widespread and general
crash. That this panic will not prove so,
we feel certain, in view of the vast amount
of wealth in, and small Indebtedness Of, the
country around US.
That any political reasons which exist,
can bring on general ruin, we do not be-
Hevo We have the faith in the leaders OF
! the Republican party to anticipate that
some basis of settlement of the present diff
cultes will be proposed at an early day in
/ Congress; ard we have also the faith
/ in the patriotism of the masses of the
American people, North and South, to be-
lieye that they win not consent to see this
noble governmental fabric marred, much
less demolished, to crafty squad of selfish
politicians.
God always raises mp great men for great
crises We truly believe that Abraham
Lincoln has been raised up in this way as a
pilot to conduct the Ship of State through the
tempestuous political sea- lie will not
those who voted for him.

THE MARKETs.-The Council has made a
change in the time of holding the morning
markets. The time for opening the markets
is now seven o'clock, and the time for clos
ing, ten. This has been the time since last
Saturday. This change was made, we pre-
sumo, TO accommodate the people who come
from the country. Some of our town
butchers, we understand, are dissatisfied at
the change, and it is objected to it that per-
sons having to go to work at seven o'clock
cannot go to market But it should be rec
objected that without the articles brought in
by farmers and gardeners living out of town,
the market would be very incomplete. 1t
is unreasonable to ask these persons to be
in by four o'clock; it is too early an hour
in the winter

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Everything from
the South bears the gloomiest aspect.
A distinguished Senator, man of mod
crate and conservative views, stated to-day
that in less than sixty days five States will
have dissolved all connection with the Gov
ernment.
In the event of a Southern Coufederacy,
South Carolina has indicated her intention
to force upon it free trade, which involves
an insupportable direct tax to government.
Should her confederates oppose this, she
will doubtless secede from them, and adopt,
on her owR account, free trade in its broad
est sense, and the importation OF African
slaves.
1t is said here that the tax upon her peo-
pie to sustain her as an independent power
would depopulate the state in two years.
/ The free importation of African slaves
! bv South Carolina would render slave prop.
/ erty in the border States almost valueless

From WASHINGTON.

| The Washington correspondent of the
| Cincinnati Gazette, under date of Nov. 30
gives the following interesting items
The arrivals within the last two days
have been quite large, and give promise Of
full attendance at the opening Of Con-
gress. Western members are arriving in
large numbers. The political troubles are
largely discussed, but as far as I have been
able to learn, in calm spirit. There is
less excitement generally than | expected 70
find.
The intelligence from Georgia shows
that there are two parties in that State, and
that the Union men are becoming bolder
and the Union sentiment stronger. The
first furry made by the secessionists being
over, the sober second thought is coming IN
The election in Virginia has resulted curl
ousy. Nine Bell and six Breckenridge
electors are chosen, the difference having
resulted from the imperfect spelling Of
names in precincts where there were not
sufficiency of printed tickets. The highest
Bell vote is 74,384 highest Breckenridge
IA, $50 lowest Bell 72,I86 lowest Breck
inridge 70,990, showing variation of from
two to three thousand votes / don't think
anything like this has ever before occurred
in any State.
1t is stated that England and France
have forced treaty with China. The
allied forces were close up TO the gates OF
Pekin.
The Presidents Message has been kept
very close. The document will be sent in
advance, at least to the principal Eastern
cities, and possibly to the West, though of
this cannot speak positively tonight.
Congress will organize without excite
ment, and, if prudent counsels prevail, the
usual aggravating war of tongues may be
avoided
AS the report of Judge Taney's resig-
nation is again being circulated, allow me
to say that there is not word of truth
in 1t.

Hsa- We learned yesterday that the
Canal Bank was buying Illinois currency
at five per cent discount. Our banks have
not been buying it at any price, lately, but
it has been passing from hand to hand, in
trade, at par. Could confidence once more
be re-established, this currency would soon
return, in bank, to its standard discount
here, OF one and two per cent, except the
the issues of some half dozen banks which
will probably be wound up.
