The Blockade Runners Before the Judiciary
Committee.


Committee.
The Charleston members Of the famous
blockade running firm, Frazer, Trenholm Co.,
have been served with subponas to appear
before the Judiciary Committee Co the 10th Of
next month. This looks bad for .he chances
Of the impeachment project The object Of
bringing up the blockade runners Is to see
whether the President cannot b. made party
to certain corrupt compromises which are
alleged to have been entered int with them by
the government Our own opini,n is that the
inquiry will result like Mr.. Ashley's investiga-
ton into the alleged correspondence between
Mr.. johnson and JEFF Davis, in--s mares nest.
All this Is very foolish. It shows not only q
weak case for impeachment but discloses a
vindictiveness Of spirit which cannot fail to
produce violent reaction.

ing Club to Mr.. Morton, Secretary Of the New
York Yacht Club, and which was printed In
yesterdays HERALD, 1t appears that arrange
ments Of the most handsome kind are being
made to encourage gentlemen amateurs" In
the United States to 60 over and try their skill
in competing with the representative rowers Of
the world. Free transit, including their boats,
Is offered to unsuccessful competitors, In the
fine ships Of the General Transatlantic Steam
ship Company. Similar favors, it Is almost
certain, will be granted by the French railroad
companies. The necessary expenses to be In
Cured by the sportsmen will therefore be COM
paratively triHing. We see no reason why the
best men Of the best clubs should not accept
the invitation; nor are we without hope that
if the right men do 60, they will bring back
with them fair share Of the prizes.
1t appears also that it is the intention of the
Partisan clubs to offer prize cups to be COM
peted for by the American and other foreign
yachtmen. In view of recent events, the yacht
men OF America have surely nothing to fear
from the yachtmen Of any other nation.

Defeat OF the Wharves and Piers Commission
Bill.

Defcnt OIL the Whurves ana Piers Com mmt9StOn
Bill.
Our Albany despatch announces that the
wharves and Piers Commission bill, which
had passed the Senate, received its quietus in
the Assembly yesterday by vote Of fifty-one
against permitting 1t TO be read third time
to thirty-onc in favor. This Is q very proper
disposal Of aproposed law which could have
produced no lasting benefit upon tho COM
merce Of this great metropolis The bill had
its origin in q political ring in this city which
assumes to manipulate the representatives at
the capital, and the only apparent merit 1t
contained was the establishment Of Eve fat
Offices for that number Of pet politicians. The
fact is patent that the wharves and piers Of this
city are in q wretched condition, and unless
something is done by the Legislature to warrant
their reconstruction, and inducement offered to
keep them in repair, II will be but few years
before there will be nothing left Of them but
heaps Of ruins, to which many of the valuable
piers have already been reduced. But placing
them under the control of irresponsible poll
tical commissioners Is not the way to remedy
the evil, and II would, furthermore, be bad
policy on the part Of the Legislature to
delegate Its power over the p iers and wharves
to set Of men who might use their positions
at any time 70 subserve political aims and
ends.

Southern point Of the republic, and did not
enter into the sectional controversy, as the
Northern portion of Louisiana did.
BY the Oregon treaty with Great Britain we
became undisputed possessors Of the north
west territory known in general terms as
Columbia and Oregon. The area Of this terri
tory was three hundred and eight thousand
and ffty-two square miles. But this would
hardly be called an acquisition or annexation,
for we had claimed 1t all along, though for q
long time we had been joint occupants with
England. We were more than once in danger
Of war about this region. The cry of "Hfty-
four forty or fight" had good deal Of gum
powder In it at one time. Finally the line Of
forty-nine north latitude was agreed upon, and
the treaty OF settlement Of this vexed question
was ratified in 1s46. The difficulty with Great
Britain about Oregon or Columbia had entered
into party politics and the elections and had
influenced them to some degree, but the pro-
gressive and ardent national party triumphed
in this as in other cases where territorial expan-
sion was the question at issne. The undisputed
possession Of Columbia has not, however, pro-
duced much excitement or had powerful in
fuence upon our domestic political issues. II
necessarily added TO the weight and power Of
the Northern section Of the republic, but was
not cause Of sectional strife.
II was far different with the annexation Of

Mr.. Fellows, who had been Trustee
of the Straight Line Road, and who
was one of the purchasers of the
Franchise, and that Mr. Carpenter
was deeply interested in the same
road, and that John j. Merritt was
his trustee.
He showed also, that, if the Com
pany was not revived and kept alive
for some eighteen months longer, that
charter would be forfeited and the
road would revert to the original
owners, and that tlse city would then
obtain for nothing what they were
now required to pay 5000, 900 for.
He also showed that the f., II.

secure the building of the Straight.

We regret we have not time or
space to give his overwhelming argu
ments to some extent in detail, as his
arguments were exhaustive and unan-

OF the whole audience would have
voted against the subscription.

Pony BARoUCHE.-There may be
seen at the carriage factory of j. B.
Green on Main Street, most beauti-
full Pony Barouche, manufactured
for our esteemed fellow citizen Sam1.
Orr. 1t is novelty, and cannot fail
to attract attention. The entire work
was done at Mr.. G.'s establishment,
the pattern, style of painting, finish,
&C., being originated by the younger
Mr.. Green. In style and finish, we
do not think this barouche can be
beaten by any Western manufacturer,
and doubt if superior work is made
East. It is made expressly for family
use, and is most admirably adapted to
that purpose. Evansville mechanics
are not to be excelled.

THE WHARF.-Thc work on the
wharf is progressing rapidly, and by
the end OF next week the section now
under way will be nearly completed
to Vine Street, and one more section
will 6ring it to the outer edge of Wa
ter Street. BY the time this is finish
ed the river, if it continues to recede
will be low enough to allow the abut-
ments of the sewers to be built up,
the sewers to be repaired, and an
other section to be put on, extending
to low water mark We ar told by
an old citizen, that many years ago, a
pile of loose rock was laid along the
waters edge, reaching up to low water
mark, which will form an excellent
and permanent foundation or bull
wark against which to end the pave
ment. This line of rock is supposed
to be now covered with about four
feet of mud, and is about on the same
grade with the new pavement now be-
ing put in. IF the pavement is push
ed down to this abutment it will prove
solid buiwark. it is believed, and
prevent auy giving way of the wharf.
1t this is 50. we hope search will be
mad FOR it.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS.

HIGH ScHooL.-The WI ole of yes
terday was occupied with the exami-
nation OF the various classes taught by
Mr.. Z. c. WILLETT, principal, and Miss.
Dora j. Mayhem, assistant, in which,
also, Professor Butterfeld took part.
After the opening exercises. the first
class in Algebra was called, and ac-
quilted itself very creditably. The
definitions and elementary principles
were readily given, and we did not no
tice single failure in solving the
problems selected by the Superin-
tendent. 1t was remarked that the
examination was great i'm
provement on the same study last
year. In Physical Geography, which
was next called, the girls section
did better than the boys, but there
was lack of readiness in the recita-
ton, which might be construed into
want of proper familiarity with the
study. The classes in French trans
lated with fuency and have acquired
a pretty correct pronunciation. The
examination in chemistry was very
good indeed, the pupils explaining
the principles of the science with
clearness,. and answering questions
promptly. The forenoon exercises
were closed with the reading of a com
position of creditatable merit, by
Mary Carson, and with declamations
by Maurice Jones and Gus. A Wul-
kop.
The first class called in the after
noon was in Cesar's Commentaries.
The reading of the original text was
very good, and the translation ready.
A little better acquaintance with the
grammatical rules would have made
the parsing more satisfactory, but the
recitation was q very good one. The
examination in Botany passed of well,
but owing to the outside noise and the
indistinct recitation of the pupils, very
little of it was heard by the visitors.
Maurice Jones had analysed 235 flow
ers, being the largest number by any
one of the class. The class in Greek,
which was quite small, was examined
by Mr.. WILLETT in Xeaophon, and
apparently did well; though the yisi-
tors appeared too rusty to pass cor
rect judgment upon it. The examin
alton in Rhetoric was one of the best
of the day, each pupil taking up and
completing a topic with readiness and
correctness of language. The class
in Virgil was examined on the first
three books. The scholars have de-
voted more than the usual attention
to the principles of Prosody, and its
value was apparent in their exercise
of scanning, and the correct pronun-
citation. This class acquitted itself
with much credit. The afternoon ses-
sion was closed with the reading of
a composition by Belle Graham,
recitation by Hattie Durham,
and declarations by L. p. Lyon and
George p Walker. all of which were
highly interesting to the visitors. The
exercises were intersperced with
choice songs by the school choir,
which added much 70 the life and in
terest of the examination. Alto
gether, the day was well spent, and
showed that the High School had |
made good progress since the semi
annual examination. The exercises
will be continued through to-day.
