Annual Trade Ren0rt.

One Of the great wants long felt
and generally acknowledged, not only
by our own citizens but by visitors to
our city, is compilation of reliable
and comprehensive statistics of the
trade, commerce, and manufactures of
Evansville, our population, growth,
advantages of location, and prospect
i've future. Our merchants who are
conversant with the extent of bust
ness transacted, and our citizens, who
daily see the thrift and substantial
growth, are fully impressed with the
important position which Evansville
occupies, compared with the other
cities of Indiana and the West. But
away from home there is no city of
nall its size in the Ohio or Missis-
sippi valley which is so little known.
Even in our own State it's growth and
business are imperfectly understood.
Outside Of our own immediate local
ity we are met with amazement and
incredulity when weg assert that Ev-
ansville is the second city in popula-
ton and the first in commercial i'm
portance in Indiana. Throughout
the country, except in few mercan-
tile circles, whose interest it is to cul-
tivate intimate relations with our
wholesale dealers, our city is almost
unknown. Visitors and travellers, in
passing through or spending a few
days in our midst, are struck with our
prosperity, and yet we have no re-
liable data upon which to base
our representations to them of the
amount of business and increase OF
population. We have done almost
nothing to make known our import
? ance abroad, except the indi-
viidual efforts of few enterprising
merchants, seeking to push out their
trade into new channels. We are
suffering greatly in the lack of CAPT
tai from abroad, which would seek
investment here if. our importance
was better known. The trade of the
CITY cadld be largely increased from

THE Evansville Courier is terribly
excited over the fact that in the late
rebel States negroes serve on juries.
1t makes frantic appeals to Republi-
cans to know how they would like to
have negroes to decide cases in which
they were interested, and insists that
they should do to others as they
would like TO be done by, and all that.
The Courier can't remember the fact
that loyal white men in this country
stand in different relationship to
the Government from those who re-
belled against its authorityand sought
to destroy its power; that those who
have forfeited all their rights, except
to be tried and punished for treason,
must not. expect the same privileges
with those who have always obeyed
the laws. Neither can it remember
that the loyalty of the slave, while
his master was traitor, also reversed
the. positions they occupied previous
to the rebellion. The people of this
country believe that a loyal black
man stands higher in the estimation
of the Government than a disloyal
white man, and they would prefer to
have cases in which the interests of
the Government are at stake, tried by
loyal black jury than disloyal
white one. The Courier forgets, also,
but the people do not, that oaths
were made a mockery by the rebel
whites--oaths of fidelity to the con-
stitution and laws; oaths not to vio-
late paroles; oathsi not to give aid
and comfort to guerrillas, before and
during the war, and that such men
are not likely to make very
good jurors. When the people of the
Northern States IN like manner
commit universal and wholesale per-
jury, it will be time to talk of sup
planting them as jurymen, not before.
The louisville Courier is in favor
of permitting negroes to testify in the
Courts. The Democrat, Of that city,
can't see any very great distinction
between admitting negroes to testify
than admitting them into the jury
box. 1t says q one is as responsible
as the other. One capable of decid-
ing what is truth and telling it as a
witness, can do the same through a
jury verdict; and one incompetent to
act as juryman is unfit to be wit.
ness" Here, then, We have one rad
zeal Democratic paper advocating the |
privilege of permitting negroes to tes-
tify in Courts, and another claiming
that they should, with the same pro-
priety, be made jurymen. The Courier
may side with either Of its friends,
we care not which.

Trade. in its organized capacity to
compile these statistics, and circulate
the information SO much needed.
Only one such Report has ever
been published In Evansville, and
that ten years ago. The present dis
organized condition Of the Board of
Trade, and the absence of money
from its treasury, makes it difficult to
accomplish the work so much desired
by all. But project has been de-
vised, by authority of the President
of the Board, and with. the hearty ap-
prevail of number of our leading
merchants, whereby it is proposed to
prepare complete statistics of trade,
manufactures and commerce for the
past year, together with a sketch of
the history of the city, its location
and natural resources, the amount
of. building aud improvement for the
year, an estimate Of population and
value of real and personal property,
and notice of our social advantages,
&c. 1t is designed to make it as com
prahensive an exhibit of our various
interests, resources and prospective
future as possible, published in sub
stantial pamphlet or book form, illus
trated with a map of the city, with
it's river and railroad connections, and
also with engravihgs of the most at
tractive of our churches and public
buildings; so that it will be work
which all our citizens will take pride
aud interest in sending abroad.
/ A circular explaining in detail its
design and character, has been ad-
dressed to number of our business
men, and it is hoped they will give
the matter their careful attention,
and, if they approve of the project,
their substantial aid in such away as
will not only greatly benefit the gen
eral interests oft the city, but also their
own private business. Any who de-
sire to sec the circular, and have not
received it, can obtain a copy by ap-
plication at the JOURNAL Counting

The Louisville Democrat is sound
ing an alarm because the Kentucky
negroes propose to hold convention,
in Louisville, some time this month.
It says General BRIsBIN, GEO. D.
BLAKEY. and General BURBRIDGE
are dangerous men, and in placing
themselves at the head of the negro
movement, seriously threaten the
peace and quiet of Kentucky. 1t
makes similar charge against Mr..
WOODWARD, of Louisville, declaring
that he becomes as furious at every
thing savoring Of rebels, as bull at
scarlet. and is very active and diligent
in exciting the blacks.
It is strange that no effort is made
by the so-called Conservatives to neu-
tralize the influence Of such men
among the negroes. When the
question of negro suffrage in
the South was first mooted
the Democracy boastingly affirmed
that the former slaves had become so.
obedient to the superior intelligence
of their late masters, that the latter
would experience no difficulty in
voting them as they desired. We be-
iieve had a proper course been pur-
sued by the former slave owners, that
such result would have followed the
enfranchisement of the negroes, and
the votes of the latter would have
been so divided as to occasion the
whites no difficulty in maintaining
their ascendency in the States. But
blinded by the policy of ANDREW
JOHNSON and the position taken by
the Democratic party in the North
ern States, the whites of the South
manifested their hatred for the negro,
and their opposition to his enjoying
any of the rights guaranteed by
the laws of Congress to such
an extent as to lose all their influence
over him, and force him to unite with
his fellows in close alliance of offence

compelled to experience what has just
been witnessed in Virginia, no
blame can attach to any but the
Democratic politicians, who by their
expressions and actions have demon
strated to the negroes that they re-
gard them with bitter hatred and a
prosecuting spirit. as
