The Political Importance of the
Election.

Judge DEBRULER, in his speech on
Saturday night, alluded very forcibly
to the Importance of carrying the
City for the Union party by decided
majority. He said that the result of
the election to-day would have ma
terial effect upon the prospects of
success in the Congressional race
next year. The Union men of the
District were looking confidently to
the Republicans of Evansville to sus-
tain their well-earned reputation. 1t
was no time now to falter. The loss
of the City in this contest would en-
danger a Senator and two Represen-
tatives to the State Legislature, which
was to elect United States Senator,
and would greatly damage the
chances of a Republican triumph
in the District @God forbid that any
Union man. who had gone unfinching-
ly through the war, battling against
traitors and their Northern allies,
should at this late day entertain a
thought of casting vote that would
in any way aid the Copperheads, or
weaken the Union party. ba f....1
The Union Republicans Of Evans
vile, to-day, will answer the appeal of
Judge DEBRULER to stand firmly by
the party organization, by giving the
regular ticket the largest majority
ever cast in this city. They will not
betray the interests of the party or.
the country. Neither the Rebel De-
mocracy of Kentucky, nor the Cop
perhead party of the North, shall gain
even crumb of comfort from the
work of to day. 6l sr5

tention tosthe Importance of the4ow n
ship elections to be held next Mon
day. Last year, through the SUPP ne
ness or want of harmony among Union
men, the Milligan Democracy elected
their candidates in several important
localities which were not by any
means Democratic in politics. Terre
Haute and Evansville elected Demo-
cratic township trustees, and the re-
suits were telegraphed over the coun-
try as great Democratic victories. The
Fall elections proved that those boasts
were groundless, but it is best to give
no opportunity to that reactiona-y
party to claim gains in Union pre-
cincts.
The Office of Township Trustee has
become one of great importance, and
will hereafter be more important, as
the execution of the Registry Law is
in a large degree committed to his
hands, asl na a

Look to Your Tickets.

AS the Registry Law requires all
tickets to be printed on plain white
paper without distinctive marks, it is
doubly important that Union voters
see that they have the right kind of
tickets, and that they do not mad
vertently vote for Copperheads, whose
names may be on tickets unawares.
1t is ibest to vote the unscratched,
regular Union ticket, and then there
will be no mistakes. ~. -. - :

TO take a very narrow aud short sighted

Peace in Europe.

Our cable dispatches announce the
ratification Of the terms Of peace by all
the Governments which were represents
ed in the conference of London. Thus
the great work Of the conference is con
summated. and the peace Of Europe is
secured. 1t took the nine plenipoten-
tiaries but three days 10 bring about
this result-to prevent a war which
threatened TO be more extensive, and to
involve more terrible sacrifices, than
any which this generation has known.
The promptitude with which all par.
ties have assented TO the treaty, shows
that there was less Of determination
for war in any quarter than had ap.
peared to be the case while the quarrel
was in progress. The eagerness Of Bis
marck 10 Try conclusions with Napoleon,
and the anxiety OF the French to tes,
guns with the Prussians, were not only
amenable to reason, but both the one
and the other seized the very first op
portunily to submit their case to the
judgment Of the North, and give assur.
ance that they would abide by its decis.
ion. The proposition Of the English
Government for a conference was nc
sooner made than it was agreed 10 on

amusing expose Of the operations Of an
"Ofice for International Maria pes, "
said to be the only estabI bment Of the
kind existing in England. II consists
Of Mr.. John Schwartz & Co, the Co."
being Mrs. Schwartz. In their circular
they say they have references of the
highest character, and are prepared to
correspond in any written language with
any customer who may be coningally
inclined. They agree to ensure perfect
satisfaction in the delicate negotiations
they undertake, and no exception, Ger.
tainIy, can be taken to their terms. No
prepayment of any kind is required
from their clients, save for postage, until
after the honeymoon, and then the
matter is left entirely to the honor Of
the parties concerned. As these terms
are much more liberal than those of
similar establishments in this country,
all Of which insist upon payment Of
h-avy fees in advance, we give our.
fair readers the banefit Of the list of no
blemen who Mr.. and Mrs. Schwartz
bave en- disponibiEte:
l. An Austrian Count, 80 years Of
age, Chamberlain to his [. X. Majesty
and Major in The army, possessor Of
large estates in Saxony, with q yearly
income Of $4,000 thaiers. -
2. A Dutch Count, 33 years Of age,
attached 10 the household Of Roval
Prince Of Holland, and director Of
well known gas compaguie in foreign
country.
s. An Italian Count, 40 years Of age,
holding commission ne Lieutenant.
Colonel Of Cavalry in the Italian army.
There noblemen, being desirous Of
concluding matrimonial alliances, do
not look for high family descent; they
would cheerNliy offer their hands and
high social position to any lady Of good
education, unblemished reputation and
possessing jointure from 100000 to
100000. The illustrious names of the
families OF these counts, as well as their
own brilliant careers, are sufficient guar
sntee for their homes. intentions, and
any lady, either Of the aris.ocracy or
middle classes, possessing the enumer
ated qualifications, will have a rare op-
portnnity Of acquiring not only highly
gifted husband, but also Of becoming a
member OF one Of the first families in
Europe.
