Evansville SchOOls---HOw They are
Esteemed Abroad.


In order that our readers may see
the estimate placed upon our Public
Schools, by teachers abroad, we give
the following extract from business
letter received by US from d. ECKLEY
HUNTER, Esq, principal of the Normal
Institute, to be held during this month
in Bloomington: Is ~
have read with interest your account
of the examinations in the Public Schools,
and have been pleased to notice the inn
pOrtance which your teachers attach to
punctuality. Neither tardy nor absent
the year, that is the list that bust
ness men will look to-for it win give them
a truer idea of the character than could
be possibly impaired by the written certifl-
Gates of partial friends. Pltractuality be-
gets C0ilJfdence;" is sentiment that
should be written In letters of living light
upon the mind ofevery child. 1t is true in
the school-room, it is true in business life,
it is true at all times and under all circum-
stances.
Miss Mclean goes forth as a graduate of
the Evansville High School. Her diploma
will ever be an honor to her, on account of
the reputation of the school, from which
she graduates; but the fact that she has not
been tGrdy nor absent, for four gears, estab-
fishes for her reputation worth more
than dozen diplomas.

nrno Rdlf0riaI Change::

By private letter from Evansville, we
learn that Col. JOHN w. FOSTER has just
purchased the interest of our old friend
JAMES III. MCNEELY in that sterling Union
paper, the Evansville JOURNAL. While
we are sorry to hear of Mr.. McNEELY's re-
firing from the editorial tripod, where he
has worked SO efficiently for the Union
cause, we welcome to the fraternity with
more than usual pleasure SO gallant and
efficient a member as Col. FOSTER, and are
glad to know that he will Immediately en-
ter upon his duties as principal editor of
the JOURNAL. Col. FOSTER rendered gall
liant service to the country as Colonel of
the famous 65th Indiana regiment, and
subsequently commander of the l45th He
was for several years associated in the
practice of law with Lieut.. Governor Con-
RAD BAKER, and won an enviable repu-
tation in the legal profession. He has now
unbuekled. the sword and taken MP the
mighty quill. We feel assured that he will
WELD the latter as effectually as he did the
former, dealing as heavy blows for free
dom at home as he did in the field. The
pocket district must be redeemed from Con-
perhead rule, and Col. FOSTER is just the
man to be placed at the helm. May success
attend his efforts Indianapolis Journal. =.
Our namesake is mistaken in an
nouneing an editorial change" Mr..
JAS. III. McNEELY has not been edi-
tor of the JOURNAL, with the excep-
ton of three months during the sum-
mer of 1864, for over five years, He;
has been Postmaster of the city dur
ing that period, and has devoted all
his time and attention to the dis
charge of the duties of his official po-
sition, giving, so far as we know, the
very best of satisfaction; so much so,
that men Of all political parties OPP
pose his removal Col. JOHN w.
FOSTER, in purchasing Mr.. McNEE-
LY's interest, will. become one of
the editors Of the JOURNAL, and his
well-kpown ability, senergy and zeal
will materially improve its columns.
1t is the intention of the new firm to
make the JOURNAL without, supe-.
rior in the State, if hard work cana
complish that end.

The Game they are Playing.


The Copperheads of this State are
playing very deep game. They have
been indorsing President JOHNSON
and paIavering the JOHNSON men,
and in one or two instances have held
Joint Conventions, with the few JOHN
son men to be found, and have with a
self-sacrifeing spirit, seldom witness
ed, given the JOHNSON men the can
didates for the best Offices, reserving
to themselves such paltry positions as
Representatives and Senator's Offices
which don't pay. But there is a SEN
ator to elect this winter, and hence
they are planning to get majority in
the Legislature. It becomes the
Union men throughout the State to
block this little game, by nominating
their best men for Representatives
and Senators, and working earnestly
for their election. The Democrats
have tried this game in Marion and
Decatur Counties, where they are in
a hopeless minority, but their hopes
will be blasted. Vanderburgh County
is not troubled with many JOHNSON
men.

. Consistency a IeWel.

Our First Street neighbor on the
4th called upon the people to discard
all party prejudice and sectional jeal-
ousies, and to celebrate the day as
true Americans. =" No political or
sectional strife, it says, should mar
the celebration of this day.
That is all very nice on paper, and
would have been all well enough had
our patriotic neighbor rexpetiated on
the subject some days sooner. The
Indianapolis Herald, the State organ
of the Democracy, had been for a
week or more past denouncing the
contemplated celebrations of the 4th
by the soldiers as a radical scheme
for the furtherance of party inter
ests, and warning Democratic soldiers,
"a singular creature, certainly, if to
be found-to keep aloof from all such
gatherings.
In order to break the force of the
celebrations appointed in Spencer
County, the Democrat, of Rockport,
announced that grand Democratic
rally would be had that day at Rock
port, and that j oE MCDONALD, show
man CoFFRoTH and other eminent
Democrats would be present Our
neighbor saw these things, butt had
not a word to say in animadversion or
reprobation.a And yet on the morn
ing of the 4th it had the efrontery to
appeal to the people to discard poll
tics on Independence Day. The peo-
pie and the soldiers will remember
that the Democracy alone desecrated
this great national Sabbath by en-
nouncing political meetings. - y

Gov. Horizons Speech.

We have received from some friend
at indianapolis, one or two copies of
Gov. MoRToN's great speech, in pam
phlet form. 1t makes a pamphlet of
25 pages and should be placed in the
hand of every man in the State, who
can be induced to read it carefully.
The Cincinnati Commercial, paper
always noted for its Conservative and
independent character, thus spoke of
this great speech on the day after its
delivery: -..,4 ,.,oyg ..tf
AtaU Union meeting held in Indianapolis,
last night, Governor Morton delivered a
speech, published in full elsewhere, and
which we have no hesitation in pronounc-
ing the ssblest production of his pen. 1t is
a speech prepared with care, and 1t is the
most terrible arraignment and startling
denunciation of the Democratic party that
has been made by any public man of con-
spicuity since the close of the war. All
that we have heard from the Radicals OF
the present Congress on this subject is fee
bleness compared with this. Never before
did Governor Morton speak so unreserved-
ly of the obstacles he had to overcome, in
the malignant and deadly opposition of
the "Sons of Liberty" of Indiana to the
prosecution Of the war. Throughout the
country Governor Morton is recognized as
the most efficient Executive officer of the
loyal states during the war. His energy,
courage and capacity contributed greatly
to the glory that Indiana now enjoys. The
fight over, the victory won, he comes for
ward to tell how it was done, and who
were the enemies met and put down at
home, and he tells it with vengeance. 1iofl
The Commercial, day or two ago,
again alluded to the speech as follows.
We find the demand for Governor Nor
tons speech at Indianapolis on the 18th of
June is very large, and we are prepared to
fill all orders for it at the rate of one dollar
per hundred. a --a6y o a rea Nai
