M0NDNY nOHNING. NOVEMBER 4

THE REGISTER OF Saturday puDlIsHes
from the Lynchburg Ttr0iRion of Sep
TENDER 25th what puTports to be "A
synopsis of some remarks made at a
pnblic meeting insthe town OF Liberty,
Bedford county, Va, on the I'D OF that
month, by one of the editors OF this pa
per. The ViTgi,tidn is Il rank rebel
sheet, and, OF course, we could look for
no favOrs at lis hands in the way of
comment upon what we had to say on
the occasion. We did not expect TO
elicit the endorsement OF its editor nor
of those whom he represents. Gov.
Pelrpoiut addressed the same meeting,
and in n speech, too, notable by all
present for its conciliatory spirit, and
yet the secession organ of Bedford
could find in 1t nothing to commend
but everything TO deride. Weaimed to
mike plain. unpretending address to
those present, and in it TO observe all the
prophecies due to the time and place.
Whether we succeeded in meeting
the views of the implacable element in
attendance is matter about which
we give ourselves no special solicitude.
For the additional information Of the
editor of the Register, we will inform
him that we are not in the habit of
shining in borrowed plumes. If any
of his rebel allies choose to introduce
us to their readers by any of the titles
30 cheap and current among them, it is
their matter, not ours. Not long ago
the editor OF the Register was the reciP-
lent OF "a title from The Berkeley Union
aome what less complimentary than
"Colonel," but we did not presume in
reading it that It: was one voluntarily
assumed by himself. The gentleman
who introduced us to the meeting at
Liberty, will bear evidence to the fact
that we were Mt pains to tell him mat
the title by which he announced us was
one to which we did not answer, how
ever matter of-course IT might be in that
country to put handle to any mans
proper designation.

The FEsTIvAL.-Mozart Hall was
again crowded last night, and the en-
tertainment was still more brilliant,
if possible, than on the preceding
evenings. 1t appears as if our peo-
pie never tire of giving to benevolent
purposes, and the same ladies, with
untiring zeal, day after day and night
after night, labor for the good of the
cause. Their efforts are certainly
worthy of the highest commendation.
The receipts are large nightly. The
music of the Crescent City Silver
Band is the admiration Of all who
hear it, and is certainly unequaled
The Festival will be deferred tonight
until after the lecture, when it will
be resumed. Grand lunches will be
set to-day and tomorrow from 10 to
2 o'clock, and tomorrow night the
affair will close with grand series of
tableaux, including all that have been
presented thus far, with some addi-
tions. Let everybody go to the lee
ture tonight first, and on their way
home from the mental feast. let them
call in and take physical refresh

THE LECTURE To-NIGHT. = We
hope that all our intelligent citizens
will bear in mind the lecture this
evening at Crescent City Hail. Mr..
Townsend has a national reputation
as a writer and lecturer that should
attract large audience. The Lii
brary Association Board are doing
all they can to furnish our people
with rational and instructive enter
tainment during the Winter season,
and it is hoped that their efforts Will
be fully appreciated aud supported
By our people. As this is the first of
the series of Lectures, it will be an
encouragement for special effort to
obtain other attractive lecturers, if
Mr.. Townsend is greeted with full
house, as he and the Association de-
serve.

of Hudspeth, Adams & Co, 90 Main
Street, are selling new Fall and Win
ter goods at panic prices. Having a
buyer at present on East. for the third
time this season, enables them to sell
new goods at the lowest prices. There
stock is unusually large in all lines of
domestic goods, dress goods in all the
novelties of the season, new cloakings
and sackings-fne assortment of dress
and shifting fannels. Ladies' and
childrens' fur we have from the low

Our stock in shawls has been replen-
ished this week. We fatter ourselves
of having the best selection in the

A NUIsANCE.-Many persons are
stupid enough to suppose that the
habit of licensing men to mount a
dry goods box on the street corner
and, by bowling and blowing, gather
a crowd of gudgeons around him,
until not only the sidewalks but
the streets are rendered impossible,
is "a custom that would be more
honored in the breach than the OBJ
servanee." Such people have but a
faint idea of political economy. Don't
these fellows gay license, and do they
not amuse the crowd; and if they do
now and then catch gudgeons, whose
business is it? Why, we heard some
people yesterday evening go so far as
to say that they thought the crowd on
the corner of Main and First Streets
a nuisance. We did not undertake
to convince them to the contrary.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-11-22

AN OLD LAWSUIT SETTLED.-Our
fellsw-citizen Mr.. Charles VieIe, who
has been absent for some time attend
ing Court in Davenport, Iowa, re-
turned home yesterday. 1t will be
remembered that more than two
years ago Mr. Viele sustained a
severe loss to his property in that
city by fire. He has since that time
been engaged in a controversy with
the Underwriters Insurance Compa-
MES, which resulted last week in
Judgment in his favor for the sum of
$4,000, covering his loss.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-11-22

RECORDERS CoURT.-There was
but little business done in the Re-
corder's Court yes erday.
Michael Morgan was picked up by
the police, very drunk, on Wednes-
day evening, and yesterday was fined
81, with Sc 95 costs.
During the afternoon some person,
by way of. experiment, threw new
patent torpedo little round detO-
nant, resembling a small marble-up-
on the pavement on Main Street, near
the corner of Second Street. The re-
port so nearly resembled the report
of a pistol that it attracted the atten-
ton of policeman, who set out to
find the offender. Enquiring of Mr..
Samuel Meyer, he told the policeman
that it was not the report of pistol
he had heard, but that of a torpedo,
and to confirm his state
ment went into the house. and
bringing out torpedo, threw
it upon the pavement. The report
startled the policeman. and he
straightway made his way TO the
Recorders Office and fled an affidavit
against Meyer for violating the city
ordinance that prohibits the firing of
firearms, neutrality-suspicious., or other
fireworks, except on the 22d Of Feb
ruary, the 4th of July, Christmas and
New Years, except by special permits
sion of the city authorities. A war
rant was issued and the offender
brought in, and by agreement the case
was continued until to-day. While
the matter was under discussion,
Phil. Euler, who is of arather enter
prising disposition, got hold of one of
the torpedoes, and, in order to con-
vince himself that it would really
explode and make a loud report,
threw it upon the floor in the hall
leading to the Council Chamber. The
sound was almost deafening.
As he is as guilty of violating the
ordinance, we presume, he and Meyer
will make common cause; merge the
two cases, retain counsel. demand a
jury, and test the great torpedo ques-
ton. We believe the saltpetre ques-
ten, to which the great confagration
of 1916, in Pittsburg, gave rise, has
never been satisfactorily settled, and
it 5 still debatable point whether
or not saltpetre will explode when
unmingled with charcoal and brim-
stone. But that this new species of
torpedo will explode is settled beyond
a doubt, in the minds of the police
man. Meyer and Euler, at least As
this is a highly momentous question,
it was the more readily postponed
until to-day, in order that Recorder
Nelson. who was expected last night,
should preside in person.

ANOTHER DASTARDLY OUTRAGE
On Wednesday evening at o'clock,
Miss Mary Happier, aged sixteen
years, daughter of Mr.. Eugene Kap-
pier, Of this city, went to her fathers
buggy shed to get kindling for the
fire. Just as she approached the
kindling, which was back of the bug
gy, she was seized by her hair, which
was put up in two braids, and one of
the braids, comprising one half her
hair, severed from her head close to
the scalp. She did not faint, but ran to
the house to give the alarm, and as
she went, heard the heavy tramp Of
the scoundrel who had perpetrated
the dastardly outrage retreating
through the stable. The portion of
hair was found afterwards about fif
teen feet from the spot where the out
rage was committed, the scoundrel
having probably dropped it in his
hurry to get away.
This is the second outrage Of the
kind that has been committed in this
city within a few weeks. The only
motive to which these dastardly acts
can be attributed is, that the perpe-
traitors desire to obtain the hair to
send to some hair-jewelry establish
ment East, in whose employ they are
prowling through the country. The
villain, if caught, should be scalped
and turned loose, 1t is suggestive
fact that both the young ladies thus
outraged had remarkably beautiful
hair. ~. '''s'A

BEFORE JUSTICE EMERY.-Yeste

BEFORE JUSTICE EMERY.-Ye ster-
day evening an affidavit was filed be-
fore Justice Emery, charging a wo-
man, who keeps a boarding house up
town, with an assault and battery on
a lady who had been boarding, with her
husband, at the house. The man and
wife had come to the city a week or
so ago to seek employment, in which
object he has thus far been unsuc-
cessful. Yesterday while the hus-
band and wife were out seeking en-
ployment, their goods, consisting of a
valise OF two and a basket filed with
clothing, disappeared from the room,
and when the lady returned the land
lady treated her rudely and insulting
", and finally thrust her with violence
from the house. The husband and
wife sought redress in Justice EN-
ery's office. The lady filed an affida-
Wit for assault and battery, and it is
probable that a more serious charge
will be preferred. The complaining
witness has the appearance of re-
fined and accomplished lady, and we
know that a diligent effort has been
made by both herself and husband
to obtain employment, and friends of
influence and wealth have become
interested in their behalf

PECULIAR WEATHER. - We have
seen many Indian Summers, but the
Oldest inhabitants agree that they
never saw such an one as that through
which we are now passing. The
smoke and fog were so dense, that
not until 10 clock in the morning
could the sun penetrate it, and at 4
o'clock it grew so dark that at neces-
STATED the lighting of gas, and only
for about six hours during the mid
die of the day could the outlines of
the Kentucky shore be seen. There
was no breeze to drive the smoke
and fog away. Some fatter them
selves that this prognosticates speedy
rain, but we are not confident. We
have advices from the East that the
Susquehanna, Connecticut, and other
rivers are frozen over, and some pre-
dict that our own beautiful Ohio will
be in the same condition long before
Christmas.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-11-22

ITINERANT VAGABONDs.-We learn
that several itinerant peddlers of tri-
fling articles are prowling around the
city, going from house to house, Of
fering their wares. Some of these
scamps have grossly insulted ladies
in various parts of the city, and the
police and other citizens are looking
after them. It is remarkable coin
cidence that whenever the city is in
tested with these itinerant merchants,
it is also infested with burglars, and
when the former disappear the latter
also leave. We have a suffciency of
legitimate business houses to supply
our citizens with all necessary arti-
cles, and the amounts, by private citi-
zens, far transcend the receipts from
licenses in the City Treasury.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1867-11-22

LOCAL INSPECTORS. = We learn
from Col. j. V. Guthrie, Supervising
Inspector, that at the recent session
of the Board of Supervising Inspect
ors, held in New York City, it was
unanimously recommended to the
Secretary of the Treasury to urge
upon Congress the justice and expe-
diency of organizing Board of Local
Inspectors for steamboats, at this port.
More than half as many boats are
registered here as at Louisville, and a
large number of others belong here
though registered elsewhere; aud it
is but just aud proper that we should
have a Local Board.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE.-From the
officers of the Chattanooga we learn
that the fire is still raging in the
woods back of Mount Vernon, and
that large amount of damage has
already been done to fences, crops
&c. From other parts of the country
we hear like reports. The long con
tinued drouth has rendered the woods
highly susceptible of combustion.

PORK PACKING.-Parvin, Lewis &
Co. have cut over two hundred hogs
during the past two days. VIM. NJ
Akin & Co. have not been doing much
since Tuesday, and Elliott, Jaquess &
Co. have, we believe, not yet com
meneed operations. The price is keep
ing well up, and, it is believed, will
reach cents before the season is
over.
