DO Che Democratic Press.

We desire to call your attention to
the letter of our young friend and
townsman, SHANKLIN, on another
page, who speaks for the Democratic
masses" of Indiana, in reference to
the issues and candidates in the Ken
lucky campaign Evidently the DU-
VAIL men of that State have been led
to believe that the Democracy of the
North desired the success of their
ticket. 1t is matter of much moment
to the party in our sister State, which.
friend SHANKLIN says, is composed of
rebel soldiers, their aiders and abet-
tors" and whose candidate never
desired sympathy with the rebellion.
and who still advocates the right
of secession" to ascertain who is
the true exponent of the views of
the Democracy of Indiana and
the North. There is difference of
opinion on this important question,
between the old lights of the party.
PENDLEToN, VALLANDIGHAM, MILL
GAN, and others, on the one side-and
the rising star of the Hoosier Democ-
racy-GEoRGE W. SHANKLIN, on the
other. We hope you will speak out
on the subject. g~ r.-ss

the wishes and 1sympathies Of the
% A. ne party.
4ur, SHANKLIN says we were never
known " to state the true position of
political opponent, or deal fairly and.
candidly with an opposing political
organization" The columns of the
JOURNAL have never been refused
any political opponent who consider
ed himself misrepresented; and so in
variable and arbitrary has been our
rule in this particular that we have
frequently bored our subscribers with
lot Of unimportant twaddle from
fledgling politicians who, painting for
notoriety, preferred making them
selves ridiculous rather than remain
in obscurity. We ask pardon of our
readers for repeating that offense this
morning.
As to the politics of Kentucky, we
shall discuss matters appertaining
thereto as we think proper We have
heartily favored Gen. HoBsoN's cleo
ton because he was always sound
Union man, and sustained the Con-
stitutional amendment abolishing
slavery and empowering Congress
TO make needful laws to secure the
rights of those who were held in bond
age. We think he was mistaken in
voting for MCCLELLAN and PENDLE-
TON, and presume he thinks so, too, just
now, for Pendleton has published
letter indorsing the candidate of the
Secession Democracy" We dare
say the gallant General will not com
NIT an indiscretion of that kind again.

cite Income Lists COmDared.

In to-day's paper will be found
some comparisons of the Income Re-
turns of Evansville, for the years 1864
and 1865. Although it is not very
favorable for 1865, still when we cum
trast the Returns of our city with
those of Indianapolis and. Lafayette we
can find solid evidence of our prosper
ity during the year. The Returns of
both the former cities include the
counties in which they are located,
which are two of the largest and
most wealthy in the State. 1.5
The number reported in Indianapo-
lis, including Marion County, with
Incomes of $1,000 and upwards is IS;
of $4,000 or more 10; and of 500 900
or more five. In Evansville the In
comes of $1,000 or more is 46; of
$4,000 or more is II; of $4,000 or
more is eight. The population, out of
which the % Incomes of Marion
County are reported, is double that of
Evansville.

The Income Returns.

We publish this morning the re-
turn of Incomes of the citizens of
Evansville, over one thousand dollars.
after making the deductions allowed
! by law. As it is the universal prac-
tlce, sanctioned by the Treasury De-
partment, to make public this exhibit
of the business of individuals, we fol-
low the general custom. An examin-
alton OF the returns will be interesting
to our readers. We have made hur-
ried comparison of the returns of 1863
and 1864, which is a pretty fair index
of the business of the two years. 1t
is no discredit to the prosperity of our
city that the comparison is unfayora-
BILE to the last year. It is only the
same result of the years business in
every city in the country. The com
mercial history Of 1864 was one of
almost undertaking prosperity, con
slant advance in the prices of commo-
dities, and large sales. The year 1865
witnessed the close of the rebellion
the heavy decline in gold, cotton. i'm
ported goods, and many articles of
home manufacture. Looking at the
commercial embarrassments of the
whole country, we think that no city
IN Indiana, or the West, can make a
better showing of the years business
than Evansville. We say this in view
of the comparison we are about. to
make. =
The number of Incomes reported
in 1864of S., 900 and upwards, was 68; |
ofslO,OOO, there were 80, and of $50, 900
or moresd1. The returns, as publish
ed tn this morning for 1865, show the
number reporting Incomes of So 900
or more to be 46, of $4,000 or more
IL, and of $4,000 or more eight.
The largest Income reported for
1864 was $4,000. The largest for
1860 is $4,000. -Four individuals in
1864 reported $4,000 and upwards;
this last year only one. Six Incomes
N 1864 exceeded s4O,OOO;s in 1865
here are five, which is very favor
able showing for our capitalists, all
IT them being merchants. 80 :
The decrease in Incomes is most
noticeable among the Dry Goods mer- Z
'hants, though all classes of business !
men have felt it more or less. There
re individual instances of increase i
Il Incomes in almost all departments S
# trade. but it is most general among :
ur manufacturers. -

rm- Further official correspondence
between tho United States Govern
meme and foreign officers respecting
tho Shenandoah, 10 published. Mr.,
Seward refuses to recognize tho ves-
ael as the Shenandoah, asserting that
she was never any other than the Bri-
tish ship Sea King. Hc sharply de'
clares that he did not ask for proceed
ines to DO taken for tho combination
Of tho ship, because the course which
the British government has hereto
fore pnrsuedih in regard to our applica-
tions for Justice was such as to dis.
courage, on our part, any expectation
ofsuch q disposition Of tho vessel, nd
ding that the United States accept her
now simply and exclusively upon tho
prudential consideration that being
reduced into our possession, Shc will
not again depart frcm British @atcts

escape, having boon laid before Lord
Clarendon by Minister Adams, tho
British Foreign Secrotay observed
that thoro wero some matters contain

with their previous experiences Of

sumo to say that the United States
