Our City Ticket.

b The City Convention last night was
decided success, and, as far as il was
possible, its results were satisfactory
to the delegates, and will doubtless
prove so to the Union Republican
party. In the history Of Evansville
there never was assembled political
Convention which was made up of
elements which should more fully re-
commend 1T TO the acceptance of
the people. The Ward meetings
in the first instance were well at
tended. and men sof inf uenccsand rel
spectability were selected as dele
gates. q When the ConventiongMasI
called to order, it was a matter of
gratifying surprise that there was so
full an attendance-scarcely dele
gate being absent whe was able be
present. The. deliberations of the
Convention were characterized By
Flecorum and the most cordial good
feeling
The ticket presented, embracing the
candidates for Councflmen, i is one
which will command the respect Of
all citizens, and demands the cordial
support of every Union voter. The
soldier element on the ticket is very.
decided. With the exception of City
Clerk, two Of the Justices Of the
Peace and one or two Of the Consta.

and by their gallantry lin the
field and their capacity and fitness for

city; and it IL undefstood that d j, Fl
mite and satisfactory arrangement was
agreed upon The matter is NV be-
fore the City Council for action. Mr.
JOEL LAMBEgT, OF Henderson. was
| elected Director. thus giving that
city a representation of two Direct
ors, GEO. NJ. PRIEST, ESq being one
of the original Directors named in the
| Act of Incorporation. The citizens
of Henderson are quite enthusiastic
on the enterprise, snd it is thought
there will be little opposition to a
subscription of 5000, 900 or $500 600,
by that city. r&Ww
It is estimated that, with the amount
of grading already done, the road can
be finished and equipped to Madison
vile from Henderson for $500, 900.
We believe that Evansville will be
ready to subscribe the deficit neces-
sary ito make the $500. 600, if after
consultation with the prominent citi-
Gems of Henderson and the Directors
of the Company. we can agree upon
terms Of subscription as satisfactory
to us, as the arrangement made with
Henderson has proved to that city.
What is requisite now, is that we
should have definite and tangible pro-
positions from The Directors Of the
Railroad; and also an amicabie and
cordial understanding with the citi-
zens Of Henderson. It is proposed
in our neighboring city that dele
cation of prominent citizens visit
Evansville and confer with our
leading Fmen, and canvass the
enterprise, its necessities, and the
relative interests of the two cities. so
that there may be full understand
ing and cordial cooperation. 1t is

Meeting OF Directors OF Henderson
l. Nashville K. R.-Arrangement
with Henderson for Subscription.


The Directors of the Evansville,
Henderson & Nashville Railroad
Company met last week at Hopkins
vile, and we earn that the prospects
for the completion of the entire road
at an early day were considered by
EN- as most promising. It is pro-
posed that the subscriptions obtained
at the north end of the road be ex-
pended in pushing the road out from
Henderson, and that the subscrip-
tions anticipated from Nashville,
Hopkinsville and other points in that
direction, be expended in completing
the road from Nashville, or rather
from Tait's Station on the Louisville
& Nashville Road, to the coal fields in
the south part of Hopkins County. . In
this way the enterprise will be pushed
on with double energy, and there will
be additional incentives towards it's
early completion. A
| Gen. BOYLE, the President of the
Company. is confident that Nashville
twill make very liberal subscription,
fsuficient at least to bring the road to
4 the South line of Hopkins County.
While thatcity Il interested ia having
another outlet to the North, bring
ing her into more direct railroad COM
munication with Evansville, st. Louis,
{ Chicago, and the great Northwest, she
is just at this time particularly inter-
crested in reaching the inexhaustible
coal fields of Christian and Hopkins
Counties; and, to secure this great
desideratum. she viii push the rail
road through that far North, especial
ly if Gen. BOYLE can assure her that
Evansville and Henderson stand ready
to meet; her on the Hopkins County
line. 50 s...s.. ss...s $500.

have him appear in his own defence.

needed to'allay the indignation Of the
Unien-men of this part-ef- the State,
at his failure TO defend the interests

renegade President. The Union men
of Southern Indiana labored to
exalt Senator LANE to the highest po-
sition In the State, with a seff-sacri-
fcing zeal and tireless energy,that was
at least deserving of his gratitude.
Had they been as Indifferent, or as
careless, with regard to his interests,
when he was candidate, as he seems
to have been of theirs, when the time
came to do them service, we imag-
inc that he would never have been
honored as Governor of Indiana and

REDUCTION CT Prices Elson Brothers
are noted for selling goods at low rates,
and they have Just made further reduc-
tion of prices in order, if possible, to
clear out their stock and make extensive
alterations in their store. They intend
closing on the 18th of April until the
alterations and Improvements are COM
pleted, and up to that time will sell at
low rates their entire stock of dry goods,
etc. Judging from the low rates Elson
Bros. have been selling goods, this reduc-
ton will suit all ladies with an econom-
ical turn of mind, who will attend the
store, judge for themselves and make
purchases. We learn that Elson Bros.
will reopen their store with an entire
new stock after the proposed improve
ments are completed. Remember the
closing out sale of Elson Bros, and call
at 297 Main street and purchase Ehatyou
