GEErLEMEN;-The following are the
circumstances connected with my APP

have never deviatedfrom said statement
and have always stated it as coming
from Mr. r, and not from Mr.. Bisch.
l Was employed by Mr.. r as his depu-
ty on the 18th of August, 1865, at a Ger.
tain salary, to commence from the LIST
day Of October, the commencement of
Mr.. Rs term of office. On Saturday.
the I'd day of September, the day Of the
Union County Convention, and while
aaid Convention was still in session, Mr..

to be some objections made to my APP
pointing you as my deputy" and upon
my asking who it was that had made OBJ
jections, he replied, ,"Mr. Biscb, in pres

some one else" replied that / thought

served In that capacity already for Eve

4i COURT OF C0HMoE PLEAs.--The' bust.
ness of the Court Of Common Pleas was
finished on Saturday, and the Court adj
journed finally shortly after noon. A
large amount of business was transact
cd, mostly of q civil character.
Among the most interesting items to
the citizens Of Evansville, was the opin-
ion delivered in the case between the
Evansville Gas Light Company and the
City Of Evansville, involving the right
of the former to collect its present price
for gas, This case was submitted on
Saturday to the court On demurrer, and
His Honor, Judge Pitcher, decided that
the contract between the Company and
the city was void, 1a 81 80
The following 10 his opinion on this
point: 5es E5r5 bssa 80 s14f-A
Z By the ordinance Of the city, which,
accepted by the Company. 10 the con-
tract sought to be enforced, the city
grants to the Company the erclusire
prfUilsge Of laying pipes for conducting
gas under all the streets of the city for
fifty years, and the Company agrees
during that time for the prices therein
provided to supply the city and its in
habitants with gas. Upon careful ex-
animation of the Charter of the city,
and its various amendments, find no
grant Of power which authorizes, or pur.
ports to authorize, such contract. 1
very much doubt whether it would be
competent for the Legislature to confer
such power upon q municipal corpora
ton, or even to exercise it itself How
ever that may be, it not only does not
seem to have attempted to do 80 in the
present instance, but even the
ordinary power on the subject
which. is common to the general law
for the Incorporation of cities, and many
Of the special acts of Incorporation
have looked into, such as the power ito
construct and establish gas.works," "to
provide for and regulate the lighting of
the streets, &c" find entirely wanting
in the charter Of the city Of Evans
vile. And without an express grant of
some such power in her charter, the con-
tract is, think, beyond question, void.
Municipal corporations are held strictly
within the powers granted in the enact.
ments under which they act as corpora
lions. Their powers must be clearly and

WHATS The DIFFERENCE2-Why is dis
elimination made in the cases of men who
get drunk under the State and municipal
laws, respectively? An ordinary drunk
costs a man 81 and costs, but it will be seen
in the Police Court report this morning, that
G. L. Davis got tight under the State law,
and was fined S. and costs. HWhy is it
thus 2" And what's the difference? How
is the offense graduated? Does it depend
on the amount of liquor guzzled, or on the
perfection and totality of the drunk? We
think it does. What say the lawyers? 1t
must be a very general and immense drunk
which is Disseminated as a State ofense.
For the cases of what may be called Ma
tional drunks, which are not prosecuted,
visit Congress any day while it is in ses-
sion.

ARREST OF A BIGAMIsT-HIs FIRST WIFE
ARRIVES AND STIMULATES THE PoLIcE-Too
Much MATRMoNY.-Mrs. Mary A. Sifeet,
formerly Mary A. Macall, of Berkelee
county, Virginia, arrived in this city on
Monday in quest of an Grant husband
named John Siheet, who, as she sets
forth in The warrant, married her in the
above named county, February goth, Is 81.
She had discovered that her bird had flown
this way, and she came on to see if gentle
Johnnie might be comfortably clothed and
housed, and urge her outraged claims upon
him. She has l~oarnen, since her arrival,
that John is truly a depraved wretch, hav-
ing taken out a license of marriage with
Miss Martha Davis, of this city, in the Pro-
bate Court of this county, on the LIST inst.
She put the case in the hands of the po-
lice. They discovered that John had been
employed till quite recently in East Cleve-
land, but was now a resident of this city.
He was found yesterday, arrested, and lodg-
ed in the city prison. He will be examined
before Judge Abbey tomorrow morning.
Mrs. Siiieet is quite a charming looking
lady, and in view of this fact we see not
why John should wish to depart from her
so soon after marriage.

FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, Oct. Is, 1865.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, Oct. Is, 1865.
The local money market to-day was with
out decided change in any particular. With
some of the banks there is a moderate i'm
provement in balances, but others reporr
themselves quite as close as therefore,. There
is, however, in the aggregate, less demand
for money just now than was experienced a
few days since, partly because of the gener-
al fatness in trade, and measurably from
tie known inability of the banks to accom-
modate, and the strihgen6y Is consequently
not so severely felt as in the latter part Of
last and the early part of the present week,
when the pressure from all quarters was
strong. The outside balances ordered i'll by
the banks will probably be on land to-mor-
row or next day, and will give considerable
relief to the market; even if only of a tenn
porary character. IN the meantime bank
ers are choice of tina paper they take, and
ore disposed to do as little in the line of dis
counts as possible. Exchange continues
rather weak, and rates remain az previously
quoted, / discount buying and par selling.
Gold evinced increased frmness to-day,
but was not marked by any material change
in price, the rate closing this afternoon at
1861. The supply is reported easy, and loans
are made " Hat" while the customs demand
is not above an average. The premium is
doubtless sustained by the anticipation of
further unfayorable intelligence from Eu-
rope.
A further decline is noted to-day in the
produce markets East, aid our advices from
Buffalo, Toledo, Chicdgo and Milwaukee
show heavy and declining markets at all
those points. Here the market is in full
sympathy so far as business is concerned,
but prices are kept well up for almost ev-
erything. There was noticeable to-day, how
ever, rather less firmness in the tone of grain
holders, and it is probable concessions Of a
quite liberal figure could have bden obtained
at the close on round lots; but as no such
demand presented itself, the market closed
n%ominally at about previous quotations.
In the Provision line we note a decline Of
lie per ID. on Lard; other articles unchanged.
Produce is without quotable change, but ex-
cept for Cheese, which is in good demand,
there is very little doing.
Highwines are dull and mainly nominal
at quotations. Petroleum is very quiet and
dropping, though refners made no change
in their prices to-day.

twenty-four hours ending at : o'clock this

AcADENr OF MusIcs-The drama of tie
"Red League" was presentedlast evening to
a pretty full house. 1t is a strictly sensa-
tional play, but possesses much true dra-
matte merit not often found in the class to
which it properly belongs. The plot is
somewhat intricate, but the course of the
play is regular and harmonious, and the
spectator in following the chain of incidents.
which succeed each other rapidly, is not
thrown out, as is too often the case, by awk-
ward side-scenes that nave NO natural con-
neetion with the play. PortionsOf the drama
offer scope for very powerful acting, and
this is especially the case in the 'death
struggle" between "Baccarat" Miss st.
Clair) and "Rocambole" (Mr. Nagle.) The
play was well worked throughout, and
passed off very satisfactorily. 1t will be
repeated this evening.

q A FoRsER CONE TO GEIEF-"AAGSIFIcENr-
IY grand ARRAY" OF AFFIDAvIrs.-A day
or two since the police got wind of a man
who was prosecuting a bold business of
passing forged checks in this city. A per-
sonal description of the adventurcr wasread
to the police Tuesday evening at seven
o'clock, and before bedtime a middle
sized man, with a very crooked nose, an
swering to the hame of William Birdsall,
and also to the description, was arrested at
the Franklin House on the West Side. He
had been boarding there some time with
his wife. He was conducted to the police
prison yesterday morning, and will have
his examination before Judge Abbey to
morrow morning.
No less than four different aggrieved
parties filed affidsvits against said Birdsall,
yesterday, and a number of bitten gentle
men on River street will file theirs to-mor-
row morning before the session of the court.
1t seems that he passed a forged check, face
ST. on R. l. IWhite & Co., lumber dealers,
ordering a lot of lumber and receiving
change. His plan was, to make his bust
ness calls after the closing of the banks in
the afternoon. His commodities,-coal
lumber, wood, &c.-he would order deliv-
cred at numbers ON streets, which were
found to be purely fictitious. He was very
accommodating, telling the dealers that
they need not deliver that day unless they
chose. Next day would do just as well.
He palmed off a check, face $50, on P. B.
Young, lumber dealer, and got more or less
change. He passed a check, face $3.50, on
B. F. McCarty, coal dealer, and received
$50 in return. On J. v. n. Yates, wood
dealer, a check, face so7, getting back con-
siderable change in money.
His checks bore the signatures of E. R
Evatt, W. C. Perkins & Co, C. C. Gilbert,
&c, &c.
We understand that Birdsall got into the
affections" of J. II. & A. S. Gorham, Cor
don a McMillen, George Worthington, and
parties on River street. We learn that sew
eral of the worsted gentlemen have called
on the forger, since his arrest, secured their
money, and agreed to forbear prosecuting
him. This is hardly the thing to do. But
enough remain steadfast to make the fagots
burn awful hot around Mr.. VIM. Birdsall.
