home, stopped in a grocery store. where he
met a man named Garrett. who proposed
to sell him a horse. Colvin refu ed to buy

most instantly killing him.

Chief Justice q

One of the most unwarrantable
attacks made upon the character of j
public man was that of THURLow
WEED, the broken-down politician
of New York, upon Chief Justice
CHASE, charging him with having
grown immensely rich while in the
Office of the Secretary of the Treasury.
The charge was ~actuated by the low
est species of malice, and was SO pal
pably unjust that the most prominent
Of the Democratic. newspapers have
voluntarily corrected the charge, and
entirely exonerate the Chief Justice
from any faint of dishonesty. Judge
CHASE is a Christian gentleman, and
would scorn to use his official posi-
ton for his own aggrandizement,
The National Iatelligencer very
promptly vindicated him from all
such charges, and stated that in
Washington City, where he is init
,mately known, 10 such suspicion
would even for a moment be enter
tanned. The New York Herald
notices the charge as follows:
"A few days since a brief para
graph found its way among our per-.
sonal items, to the effect that Mr..
Chase went into the Treasury pos
sessed of very little private means, and
came out of it, and is now. very rich.
We are assured by gentleman Of this
city, who is not a political friend of
the late Secretary of the Treasury, nor
even an advocate of his financial
policy, that the story is utterly with
out foundation. He assures us. and
on authority that can not be question
ed, that the limited private means of
the Chief Justice are now about the
same as they were when he was APP
pointed to the Treasury, and that these
means, although the same in nominal
amount. are in fact of much less value
for the purpose of living than then,
which IS a condition of things we can
all understand in these days of high
VIZ regret that. in a compila-
ton of brief personal items, this mis-
got into our columns, and
is but justice to give it this promi-
nent contradiction

EDITORIAL DUTIEs.-Mr. HUNT, in
his volume on the Fourth Estate
thus sketches the peculiar duties of a
journalist:
THE man who once becomes a
Journalist must almost bid farewell to
mental rest or mental leisure. IF he
fulfills his duties truthfully, his atten-
ton must be ever awake 10 what is
passing in the world, and HIS whole
mind must be devoted to the instant
examination, and discussion, and
record. of current events. He has
little time for literary idleness, with
such literary iaborlon his shoulders.
He has no days to spend on cata-
logues, or In dreamy discursiye re-
searches in public libraries. He has
no months to devote TO the exhaus-
ton of any one theme. What he has
deal with must be taken up at a
moments notice. be examined, tested,
and dismissed at once; and thus his
mind is ever kept occupied with the
mental necessity of the worlds pass.

The High School Lot.

One of the most urgent wants of our
system of city schools. is a convenient
and attractive High School building.
The present location is very insult
able, and the accommodations insult
icient and most uninviting. For sew
eral years the city authorities have
been DESTROYS Of obtaining a good To-
cation whereon to- buildoan edifce
which would worthily crown the edu-
cational system of Evansville, SO just
~ celebrated for its efficiency aud
usefulness Lots were selected last
ar BY the School Board In the upper
part OF the city, but the Council fail
ed to complete the purchase, offering
as the chief objection that they were
not centrally located. The present
Board, after having examined every
available central location in the city,
and made several fruitless attempts to
procure a proper site, have at last,
after a ullconference with the Coun-
ell, selected a location, which meets
with the unanimous approval of tie
city authorities, and the purchase has.
been completed by the city, thus set
Ting the vexed question of the High
School lot. FL.
The ground purchased is situated
on Seventh Street, between Vine and
Division, Immediately back of the
Jewish Synagogue. having a front on
Seventh Street Of two hundred aad
forty feet, and running back to the
alley. The location, is as nearly GEN.
trail as can now be secured, and will
continue to be as the city grows, ex-
tending back as it must from the
river. The amount paid for the lot is
sc, 949, which is more than two thous-
and dollars less than the price of the
lots purchased last Winter adjoining
Mr.. CHARLES VIELE's residence, and
has a front of ninety more feet, be-
besides being sufficiently central to
meet the entire approval of the City
Council. We hope the time will not
be long delayed when we shall have
erected upon it a building which will

THE INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPERS.
Daniel Webster once remarked:
Small is the sum that is required to
patronize a newspaper, and amply re-
warded is its patron, / care not how
humble and unpretendipg is the ga
zette which he takes. IL is next to
impossible to fill a sheet with printed
matter without putting in it some
thing that is worth the subscription
price. Every parent whose son is
away from home at school, should
supply him with a newspaper. | well
remember what q marked difference
there was between those of my school,
mates who had and those who had
no access to newspapers. Other things
being equal, the first were always su-
perior to the last in debate; compo-
sition and general intelligence.
