The BooT AND SHOE TRADE OF IL.
D!ANA.-Since our notice of the amount
of business done in this branch of trade.
a friend has handed US a copy of the
Shoe and Leather Reporter of Feb. Goth,
in which we find interesting statistics OF
I the boot and shoe trade, being a compare
son of the business done with the princi-
/ pal towns and cities o. Indiana and other
States, showing how largely the trade
has increased during the last year. In
/ dIanapoliS received last year ,262 cases,
/ against 2,2S2 in 1861; Lafayette 4,43O
against LII New Albany, 1891,
against 1,074 "But the most notice.
able Improvement" says the Reporter,
" is at St Louis, Mo-, and Evansville,
1nd,-the shipments to the latter being
! 1860 cases, against l,465, being over
five times greater than the year pre-
vious."
The indianapolis and Lafayette pa
pers, in their notices of this trade, were
careful to leave Evansville out of the
account; yet we see that Evansville has
received from Boston 1898 cases more
than indianapolis and 1920 more than
Lafayette, and only 1,032 less than both.
But nearly as many more are shipped to
this city from places outside of Boston,
showing that Evansville does more than
twice the amount of business in boots
and shoes done in any other city in the
State.
The report of shipments for the week
prior to the Goth of February, shows
shipped to Evansville. 492 cases agails.
l25 to indianapolis, and $50 to Lafay-
cite, being 2l7 cases more to Evansville
than to both the other cities. We have
no doubt the dry goods and grocery
trade of Evansville would show an equal
ly favorable comparison.
Yet, these branches form but small
part of the business of Evansville, and
this prosperity, and the active business of
the city might be greatly improved and
increased if our capitalists would invest
part of their profits in the erection of
cheap tenements, which would accom-
modate hundreds of families who de
sire to remove to this city.
If such houses existed in this city, our
population would be increased within the
next month at least one thousand, by i'm
igration from less prosperous cities and
towns
As it is, persons DESTROYS of settling
here have been driven to other places
from their inability to obtain houses to
live in.

TNI0N MEETING.

An impromptu meeting was called last
night, at Mozart Hall, to listen to
speech from Col (now GeneraD Harrow,
Of the 18th Indiana regiment, who, in
passing through town on his way to his
command, was unexpectedly delayed
here day Although the notice was not
given until the middle of the afternoon,
there was large audience present.
The Crescent City Band performed
some of their sweetest tunes and thereby
assisted in giving notice of the meeting,
and in entertaining the assembly.
Gen. Harrow was much exhausted by
loss OF rest and bad cold, but delivered
aspeech couple of hours long, which
was very candid and instructive He
portrayed in vivid colors the enorm:ty of
the otfense of opposing the Government
in its efforts to put down the rebellion,
ana rebnked in whitening terms those
politicians who, for their own aggran-
dlzement, would destroy their country.
He paid feeling tribute to the heroism
of the gallant Fourteenth, and of the In
diana troops generally, and referred to
their sacrifices in such a way as to bring
tears to the eyes of many of the audi
ence.
We regret that the lateness of the
hour prevents fuller notice of this ad-
mirable speech.

There is another view of the case to be
regarded. Whateverthe cause, it is well
understood that the I" pampered sons of
wealth " can rot endure the hardships
of campaign like the sturdy sons of toll.
We're there no exemptions, and it should
so happen that large majority of the
drafted should be men of wealth, they
would be in the field but very short
time before they would fill the no spitals
and be mustered out of the service on
account of physical debility.
Do you ask, what of that2 Why, just
this: The Government must have suffi-
cient men to crush the rebellion, and if
it can not get them in one draft, it will
order another; and if the men in one
draft prove worthless, it will try again,
with the hope that the physical qualities
OF its conscrIpts may improve. The
greater the number of drafts, the more
oppressive will they prove to the poor.
Were these men who, from their manner
of life, are incompetent to stand up I'M
der the hardships of soldiers fare per-
mitted to pay in their money, so that the
Secretary of War, by having a large
bounty fund, could obtain good soldiers
in their places, there would not be any
occasion for second levy on the militia
tor some time to come. We commend
this view of the case to those who have
been so loudly insisting that no exemp-
tons should be made
1t is urged in New York that the con-
script law is unconstitutional, because it
takes the power of appointing officers
out of the hands Of the Governors of the
States. That objection, however, is not
urged very strongly in this State, be-
cause Gov. Morton fills the Executive
Chair. Were Horatio Seymour or a
Tom Hendricks our Governor, we sup
pose we would hear the objection urged
with great deal of bitterness. Tie OBJ
lection is frivolous. The conscripts will
either be placed in the old regiments,
which are Offered by men who hold
their commissions from the Governors of
the States, or they will be organized into
separate bodies, Offered as provided by
the Constitution.

CAIRO, March 1.-THE dispatch boat,
General Lyon, has arrived from Vicks-
burg Saturday night. Friday night about
midnight the gunboats at the mouth of
the Yazoo heard what was thought to be
signal guns from our gunboats coming
down the Yazoo. The Benton answered
by firing two guns. Nothing further had
been heard from the boats up the Yazoo
when the Lyon left. If the signal was
from the Chiilicothe as was conjectured,
1azoo City has already fallen into Fed

there but what the gunboats will pass

we are assured that the health of the
troops is improving very materially.

RESISTING THE U. S. AUTHoRITY.-A
question of sovereignty between the
United States and the State of Illinois is
just now being trled-one of momentous
interest to the whole country. A few
days ago two military officers, clothed
with full authority by the War. Depart
ment, went to Clarke county, Illinois,
to look up deserters from the army.
They succeeded in finding four, whom
they arrested.
At the instance of the mother of one
of the men arrested, writs were issued
for the arrest of the officers for kidnap-
ping.
1ney were taken before Judge Consta-
b 9, who held them to bail in the sum of
500 each, for their appearance in the
Clarke County Circuit Court, on yester-
day.
The Judge refused to hear testimony
to show that the men were deserters from
the army, or that the officers were au-
thorized to arrest them, but ordered tie
discharge of the deserters.
We are informed that the United States
Marshal with posse comitatus has gone
to Clarke county to enforce the laws of
the United States.
The question may as we'll be tested
now as at any other time, and if Butter
nut Judges or leaders of the K. G. C.'s
can with IMMUNITY resist the laws of the
United States, then is all government at
an end and anarchy of the worst type
prevails.
We hope the Government will act with
energy in this case and vindicate the
authority of Congress with a promptness
and retributive justice that will teach
these sympathizers with rebellion that
their cause is hopeless and their efforts
futile.
