Just returned from business trip
down the Ohio, Stopping at one of
the prominent towns below, he solicit.
ed an order from a prominent citizen,
who regretted that he had not seen
him few days before. He had want

searched the Evansville papers dill
gently TO find the advertisement Of
some house engaged IN that class of
manufacturing, to whom he could
send his order but searched in vain.
Looking into Cairo paper he found

one Of the leading manufacturers of
this city, says. the profits ION that SIM

convert TO the value of advertising,
and in determined that his establish

readers of the newspapers.
We will not, for the credit Of the
city, mention the Departmental ttiaiin-
featuring referred to, but il has ever
Ibeen one Of the most extensive in Ev-
ansville, and in which our workmen
claim, and We think justly, to rival
Cincinnati, or any other Western
city, in quality aud prices. And yet
there was no evidence Of IL TO be
found in our city papers.
Our business men do not realize as
fully as they should the Importance Of
advertising. The cities which have
been most successful in building up,
and in drawing to them, the trade of
the adjacent and tributary country,
are the ones where the merchants,
manufacturers, and tradesmen have
been the most liberal advertisers.
And they forget the fact that the daily
aud weekly papers, are or should be,
faithful mirrors OF the business of the
cities in which they are published
The stranger and the visitor 10 the
city looks to the papers for the in,
formation which he wants in refer

granted that there he will linda cor

We regret 20 see that the President
has a very warm side for counterfeit
ers. We believe he has pardoned
more of that class of criminals during
tho short time he has been in Office
than all his predecessors put together.
Counterfeiting is among the worst of
all crimes. II cannot be carried on
without great reconciliation, and it
invariably infiets loss upon the poor
or. or laboring, classes, who can least
afford to stand it. The shrewd
monied man Of the country never
loses anything on counterfeit money

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The trial of those men for alleged
dereliction of duty was commenced
Wednesday. Gov. Swami brought
forward fitty.six witnesses, among
whom were secessionists, Maryland
bullies, etc. etc. The witnesses were
carefully examined and the points
made against the Commissioners
were, that they, two hundred and
forty in number, we're radicals and
that about dozen of them were men
of not good moral character. The
most dissatisfaction was felt against
them in districts most notorious for
its bullies and sJ mpathizers, and this
goes to show that the Commissioners
did their duty. In opposition to this
testimony the Com missioners' coun
sci have brought forward evidence
completely exonerating them from
the charges.
The case has not been decided, but
it is expected that the GovCrlor viii
remove the Commissioners.

The Philadelphia North American,
one of the most prudent, careful, and

says OF the Maryland rebel conspira'
cy:
"Onc chief object in precipitating
rebellion in Maryland is to prevent
that State from ratifying the amend
ment to the National Constitution, so
as to for,ify the traitors in their de
sign Of counting in the next elector'
college the former vote OF the late
rebel States"
THIS expresses the greet object Of
the conspiracy. Gov. Swami is to
be paid for his agency in this infa
nous business in the U. s. Senate
Perhaps the Senate may lock the
door against him.
