STREET RAILRoAD.-We notice. by
the Terre Haute Express, that the
street railroad in that city has been
put into successful operation, the cars
having commenced running on last
Saturday.
It is not creditable to the city of
Evansville that Terre Haute and New
Albany, with a little over half as
many inhabitants, and Greencastle,
with one-fourth the inhabitants we
possess, should have street railroads
and she have none. A street railroad
in this city, running between the most
distant points in the city, with low
fare, would, we believe, pay well, and
would be an incalculable convenience
to our citizens.
There are three things we need be-
fore we put on city airs to any con-
siderab extent, and these are, water
works, 6rst-class hotel, and street
railroad; and we hope that the COM
pany chartered last year to build
street railroads will either go to work
and build the road. or surrender their
charter and let company be organ
lied.
1t is true that street railroads are
not of great advantage to the rich,
who can turn out splendid eQuipage,
but are a decided advantage to the
poor, who, after a days toll, could
ride for pittance to the vicinity Of
their homes.

Work ON THE Wharf, b work
men on the wharf have Coz iaenced
putting in the curb-stone for tie low
er line of the pavement on the wharf
above Main Street 1t is pretty well
down towards low water, though we
believe the water will be a foot or
two lower yet. They are putting in
the curb of large stone, planted very
solidly in the earth, which will be
likely to make a firm base for the
pavement. When this work is fin
ished we believe it would be good pol
icy on the part of the city to procure
good dredge boat. and have the har-
Dor in front of the wharf thoroughly
cleaned out. The ordinance, too,
forbidding steamboats, throwing their
ashes and cinders into the river while
lying at the wharf, should be rigidly
enforced, and from the enforcement
of which a revenue could be raised
sufficient, at least. to pay the interest
on the prime cost of a good dredge
boat.
An examination along the present
water line will show that this ordi-
nance has been violated with impu-
nifty, and the harbor is now almost
filed up with cinders and clinkers.
There should be detective employed
on the wharf to discover the boats
that thus violate the city ordinance.

The NEGRO MURDER.-The rumor
of negro having been killed on Mon
day night, of which we made mention
of yesterday, proved to be true. The
body was found in an alley in Goodsel-
vile, between Jefferson and Madison
Streets. The negro, whose name was
Peter Langley, was found shot in the
left breast near the heart, and six
shooter was found in his right hand
Suspicion rests upon a negro who is
said to be a paramount of Langley's
wife, but up to late hour last night
no arrest had been made.
These frequent deeds of violence
on the part of the negroes inhabiting
this city, are attributable to the
loose idea of the marriage relation.
with which the negroes were incul-
Gated while slaves. Under this train
ing negroes have never been impress
ed with the duty of fidelity to the
marriage VOW, and In many instances
there has been no marriage-the par
ties consorting together, without any
formal marriage, and only at their
own pleasure. The negroes in this
city and State should be taught diff
ferent code of morals, and a wide
field is here opened for the opera
tions of philanthropiSts.

In A FURY.-While on the wharf
boat of r. K. Dunkerson & Co., yes
terday, we saw a fair illustration of a
man mad. An old gentleman had
purchased a lot of watermelons to
take to Henderson, and had them
stored upon the wharboat. He pres
entity got the impression-whether
justly or unjustly We cannot say-that
the number of his melons was di-
minishing, and his anger began to
kindle, and he began to descant on
the subject. and as be talked he waxed
wrath and presently fairly foamed at
the mouth. He declared that if he
saw another melon taken the man
who took it might at once select his
place of sepulcher. and waxing warm
with his subject, he GRATED for five or
ten minutes without even deck hand
as an audience, and wound up by ex-
pressing the deliberate opinion that
the man who would steal a water.
melon after man had bought them
and paid his money for them would
go to hill and not half try. @sa
