ANAL MEETING.-There

CANAL MEETING.-There was a
large attendance of the manufacturers
of the city, at the Council Chamber
last night, to take into consideration
the subject of repairing the canal as
far as the reservoir. The meeting
was called to order by Mr.. J. A.
Reitz, who stated that he had caused
articles of association to be drawn up
for the formation of a company for
the above-named purpose. Mr.. But
terrified proceeded to read the articles,
which, when the blanks were filed,
were adopted. Quite a number of
manufacturers signed the articles of
association, and the company was
formed. The name and style of the
company, as agreed upon, is the
Evansville Canal Company. 49,
The shares of stock are to be SO
each, and each man is entitled to a
vote for every share taken, or sub
scribed. Those subscribing the sum
of 800 are required to give four
notes of $25 each, to be paid as called
upon by the Company, or as the money
may be required In case that any
man should fail to subscribe the
amount sufficient to pay for the water
used, it is provided that such may be
assessed the full amount of his share,
according to the amount he uses.
There are to be, and were selected,
nine Managers, who have power to
select a President. The articles of
association provide that toll may be
charged all boats navigating the canal,
and that the Managers shall have
power to sub-let water privileges to
such as are not stockholders.
1t was proposed to repair the canal
for distance of thirty -two miles, or
to the reservoir, and to procure lease
from the Wabash and Erie Canal
Company for period of five years
On behalf of the Committee APP
pointed to examine the condition of
the canal, and to report the number of
breaks, and the probable cost of re-
pairs, Mr.. Reitz reported that he, with
the two Mr. Smiths and Mr.. Kratz,
had made survey and an estimate,
and that the canal could be repaired
at cost not to exceed 81, 265 so.

of the soldiers to-day, it is hoped, will
be large. but it is busy season of the
year and many will probably remain
at home in consequence of the press
ure of labor. 1t is hoped all who can
do so will attend at 2o'clock, the time
specified. It is expected that the
Committee appointed to take into con-
sideration the propriety of building a
monument will report, and that steps
will be taken to secure that end. The
Constitution provides that no tax or
fee shall be levied on the members,
but that all moneys raised, shall be
obtained by contribution. 1t is more
over understood that the soldiers can
not accomplish this work alone, nor is
it expected that they can contribute
great deal, except the labor requir-
ed in experimenting the matter. As
surance has been given that if
the organization is corporated
according to an act of the State Legis-
lature, that the requisite amount can
easily be raised; indeed, we have
heard many citizens speak of the de-
sign, and all that have spoken to us
have indicated not only willingness,
but a strong desire that the Union
should be placed at once in condi-
ton to solicit and receive donations
for that purpose. 1t is, as we are in
formed, to be a part, and the more
important part, of the meeting to-day,
to take into consideration the best
method of procedure in this import
ant and praiseworthy movement; and
that the opinions of all the soldiers
from all parts of the county should be
had on thematter, tits desirable that
there may at least be representative
from each township.
In the course of time, soldiers
might build the monument out of
means that they would earn them
selves, but it was not thought advisa-
Bile to make the society an expense to
any soldier, except those who felt
that it was in their power to contrib
ute; hence there is an article in the
constitution to the effect that no fee
shall be charged, nor tax levied for
any'purpose, but that all moneys shall
be raised by contributions We have
been requested to make the above re-
marks, so that the financial part Of
the organization may be fully under
stood by all.
Much good may be accomplished
by this organization, and the success
of the proposed monument be placed
beyond a peradventure. 1t is Of
course necessary to begin right, and
we feel sure that if begun right, the
work may be accomplished at an early
day; and, not only this, but all the
objects for which the association was
formed, easily and readily attained.

DESPERATE FIGHT AT OwENsBoRo'
ONE MAN KILLED-ONE MORTAL
LY AND ONE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
From Mr.. j. L. Curnick, who was a
passenger by the Tarascon yesterday,
we learn the following particulars of
a desperate and fatal rencounter that
occurred at Owensboro', Kentucky,
ON Thursday FeYening. A difficulty
sprang up between a man named Good

An attack was made on Goodman by
two or three men at the same time.
Goodman drew his revolver and shot
one of the men named McAilister,
killing him Instantly, He also shot a
man named Barkwell in the breast,
from the effects of which it was be-
lieved he would die. A third man,
named VIM. Brown, he shot in the
leg, inficting a serious, but not dan
gerous, wound.
Goodman, it is said, acted with great
GOODNESS and deliberation, and after
the shooting was over he deliberately
packed his clothes, settled with his
employers, and left town. No attempt
was made to arrest him. We could
not learn the origin of the difficulty

BEToRE EsoUIRE STINsoN.-A

BEFORE ESQUIRE STINsoN.-A dis
gushing case, in which a white man,
his wife, and another white wo-
man or two were engaged, came up
before Esquire Stinson yesterday. 1t
appeared that the white man had
rented one of the rooms of his house
to a woman of color, and that by some
accident it was discovered that he was
on terms of improper intimacy with
the negro woman. The indignant
wife proceeded to the room of the
colored individual, and began Wig
orous assault both on the person of
the negro woman and her goods and
chattels, carrying the latter out and
landing them in the street. The evi-
dence adduced was conclusive proof
of the depravity of the human
heart" at least so far as some men
are concerned. We forbear publish
ing the mans name, with the hope
that he may reform. There were two
cases one for assault and battery
and one for malicious trespass. In
each, the offending parties (that is
the offenders against the law were
fined one cent each and costs. i
white men will insist on equalizing
themselves with the negro, of course
they should come out second best
This man will perhaps feel blush Of
shame every time he thinks of the
evidence against him.

ALMOST A FIRE.-A boy was sent
into the cellar of Cloud & Aiken s
drug store, yesterday, to draw some
benzine varnish from the cask. By
some accident the candle fell against
the stream of benzine as it issued
from the cask, and was at once ignit-
ed. For while there was quite an
excitement about it, and fears enter
tanned that fire would break out, but
it was readily extinguished. No harm
was done, except that about gallon
of benzine was consumed.

THE IMPoRTANCE.-A striking IL
Illustration of the importance of taking
and reading daily paper in which the
proceedings of all public meetings,
Council meetings, &c, are published,
fully and accurately, was observable
at meeting of the City Council night
before last One gentleman acknowl-
edged that he had not noticed the pro-
ceedings of the Council, as published
each week, in the JOURNAL, relative
to street railroads, and of course did
not know that the question was about
to be disposed of so soon. We would
suggest the Importance of his sub
scribing for the paper, and reading
regularly the proceedings of that body.
He will find, if he does so, that there
are frequently questions of Importance
before the Council in which citizens
are Interested. The Council always
takes pleasure in listening to all be-
fore acting on any important matter,
and would have done so in this mat
ter, no doubt, if those interested had
gone before that body, before its final
action on the Street Railway Charter.
IF there is dissatisfaction, it is
much to be regretted. If the char
ter is too liberal, we do not see that it
can now. be remedied. That the street
railroad is greatly needed, and that it
is emphatically an enterprise to bene-
fit laboring men, there can be no
doubt, we think. OF course we do not
wish to be understood as speaking in
defense of the charter, or the action
of the Council, farther than to say
that His Honor, the Mayor
and all the members of the Coun-
Gil, have at all times evinced an anx-
iety to have the proceedings publish
ed, that every Tuesday morning the
citizens may see what is pending be-
fore them; and that the reports may
be as correct as possible, any and all
of them, together with the highly eff
cient clerk, Mr.. A. McGriff, have
always evinced willingness and anx-
iety to afford all the information
sought that would be of interest to
the public.

what should properly come before the
