The COurler's Last card.

In its efforts to'edeher the PEOPLE,
the Courier admits that it has played
its last card. 4 gjauce at it proves it
to be the poorest 10 the pack With
a great flourish II copies an article
from the Evansville JOURNAL fof
June 18th, 1862, complimenting the
County Commissionefs-a majority of
whom were Republicans-for their
efforts to reduce taxation, and indi-
rectly speaking pleasant word for all
the county officials In copying the
article, the Courier says that it is
an unqualified endorsement Of WALK
ER's administration of County affairs
up to the date of his retirement from
office" We desire especially to di-
rect attention to this statement Now
let us turn to the extract from the
JOURNAL Of 1862, aud see how far it
substantiates the Courier's assertion.
The gist of it is contained in the fol-
lowing sentences:
Have the tax payers Of the county
read the Auditor (Walker's) report
for the fiscal year ending May 3lst,
1862? Every one Of them should do
so. The EXHIBIT is a hattering testi-
monial to the fidelity with which the
County Commissioners AND OTHER
OFFICERS have discharged their duties
DURING THE YEAR"
Drowning men are said to catch at
straws The above is confrmatory of
the adage. If Mr.. WALKER aad his
friends can extract any comfort from
it, they had better organize "a Joint
stock company Tor extracting sun
beams from cucumbers. They most
assuredly could make a fortune al it
in all our criticisms Of Mr. WALKER,
we have not denied his ability to make
good erhiJits." He made a good
exhibit when he attempted to eucher
the county out Of the nice little sum
of 81, 500 contrary to law. He made
fair ecbiJjt when he did extract 800
for services in violation of law, in
Judge PARRETT's opinion. We sup
pose the erht5it was pretty good when
lie per= uaded the Commissioners to
pay him twice for the same services as
County Librarian. He IS good at ca
hiBiting. His oratoricaI exhibitions
are maryelously funny. Some people
regard them as silly, but these, of

WALKER has called to his assist
ance WILLARD CARPENTER, and to-
gether they are haranguing the people
nightly in behalf Of the declining
fortunes Of the Democracy It is
highly appropriate that CARPENTER
should do what he can for WILLIAM
H. WALKER, for he owes him debt
for valuable services which It viii
take him a long time to repay. Our
people remember something of VIII
LARD CARPENTER's alleged failure
several years ago, but they may not
all know that WILLIAM III. WALKER
was chose1 by him as his assignee
and confidential agent aud adviser;
and from that time to this WALKER
has been engaged with all his well
known ingenuity in helping CARPEN-
TER close up his business to the dis
comfture Of his honest creditors,
amounting to hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars worth Of property.
And WALKER has discharged the
duty well 1t is kind and appropriate
in CARPENTER to come to his assist
ance now that he is sorely pressed.
But it is very doubtful if the advo-
cate will materially help the cause.

Lots of Cards, but Nary Trump.

Editors journal:
Yesterday noticed some of the
opening plays in Mr.. Walkers inter-
esting game for the Mayoralty. [
showed how he led off in his Ninth
Ward speech, by enjoining upon the
newspaper men the duty of giving
close and undivided attention to the
record Of the present Board Of
Commissioners and county officers,
and how the adversary party had

grouped together the next four leads
Of the party Of the other part, and
am now to show the manner 10 which
Mr.. Walker played his cards in re-
Spouse. The strength of the game
on either side will then be fairly de-
Yel0ped.
The first point attempted to be es-
tablished against him, it Will Be re
membered, is that he received 500
for seven years extra services as
Auditor, which there was no law to
justify, but which he has never re-
funded to the County.
By his card No 3, published in the
Courier of March 2lst, it will be seen
he admits he received the 500; and /
the only defense he offers IA that the |
County Board allowed it. The Board |
of Commissioners, he says, consid-

The nigh School Contract.

The Courier makes a lengthy at
tack upon the School Board for the
manner in which the contract was let
for the new High School House. 1t
is to be expected that the organ of
the Democratic candidate for Mayor,
who thinks the City Of Evansville
wants no more school houses for
twenty years, would do all it could to
bring reproach upon the management
Of our City Schools, but in this in
stance the attack only serves to. con
vace the people that the School
Board did just right The Board, as
it always does In such cases, reserved
the right to reject any and all bids
for the building of The High School
House. When the bids were opened
they were all decided toos high, and
the proposals were all returned
to the respective bidders. The Board
afterwards entered into negotia-
tons with the two lowest bidders,
ALLEN &CLARKE and LIANT Broth
ers. The Courier states that ALLEN
& CLARKE offered to take the job for
$4,000, bat declined to make any
lower offer; and that the Board did
let the contract to LIANT Brothers at
$40, 800. So that upon its own show
ing of the facts, LIANT Brothers were
the lo1oest bidders, and ALLEN &
CLARKE had "a fair chance 1t
says that the truth is that ALLEN Il
CLARKE do not belong to the Mayor
and Trustees ring. To prove the
falsity of the Curriers' insinpations,
we would state that Mr.. ALLEN has,
during the entire past year, been en-
gagged in the erection of a State build
ing at Indianapolis, under the super
vision of Governor BAKER, and that
his partner, Mr.. CLARKE, is now en-
gagged, and has been for the past year,
as the Building Superintendent for
the SchootBoard of Evansville. By
such tricks as these the COURIER hopes
to advance its cause.

With this record before them, we
are certain the Democracy have very
little hope of defeating him Cow.
The value Of his services have psen
so apparent, heretofore, that he has
been able to secure the support not
only@of his own party, but a very
large number Of Democrats. And
so it viii be now. As stated by Mr.
Orr, at the Convention, a good many

In his lucid speech in Lamasco, on
Tuesday evening, Mr. WALKER re-
peated the falsehood about Mayor
BAKERS connection with the Long
worth purchase, and then with char
acteristic modesty said:
" This is specimen of Mayor Bakers
fine dnanciering. IfIdon't do better han
that, you can tap me for the mples."
This from the man who bought the
County Arms Of the Philadelphia
sharpers, and under whose auspices
the Fulton Avenue and other County
bridges were built. About the only
evidence we have of his financial
ability is IN Library charges aud 9TH
er official fee matters.

Mr. WaIker,s Last Cnrd.

In another place we give the Cour-
jer's last Card. The following seems
to be Mr.. WALKERS last Card. 1t
was played out IN his Lamasco speech
on Tuesday night:
Now. that is not the way to levy a
dog tax. 1t ought to be levied ac-
cording to the amount that a man is
worth. A man who is worth $4,000
Of property ought to pay a great deal
more dog tax than a man that is
worth but $500 or $500 of property.
The idea of assessing dog in pro
portion to the wealth of. the owner, is
entirely original with Mr. WALKER,
and we cheertuIly give him all the
credit oflit.

The Courier presumes that its readers
do not possess the ordinary einteli-
gence to comprehend a plain English
sentence, or-it would not make a
statement so reckless of truth. Does
anybody suppose that Mr.. WALKER
would make an exhibit otherwise than
fattering to himself? If so, he is
badly afflicted with the simples, and
the sooner remedies are applied the
better. In those days ofburdsnsome
taxes, it was a great,relief 10 have a
Republican Board Of Com missoners
reduce the taxes ten cents on the
hundred dollars, and any one who
read the JOURNAL article will see
that this action on the part Of the
Commissioners, was the occasion of
its compliments, and that they were
given the credit of the reduction.

City EIecIIon STATISTICS.

3 The result Of the past city elections
clearly shows that Mayor BAKER has
always been highly appreciated by
the voters of Evansville, without
strict regard to party predictions,
The returns of the last three cleo
tons when he was chosen Mayor give
us much encouragement to believe
that he will not only carry his own
party strength, but much more than
that, on next Monday.
By reference to the returns in
April, 1859, when he was first elected,
it appears that the entire Democratic
ticket, with one or two unimportant
exceptions, was elected PAT. BURKE
was elected Clerk by a majority of
431; SAUNDERS, Surveyor, by 232; Nc
BRIDE, Recorder, by 379; MCAvOY,
Assessor, By 275; making an average
Democratic majority of over 300.
And yet the majority for BAKER for
Mayor was just 300, running more
than 500 votes ahead of his ticket
At his next election, in 1862, the
Democracy made a pretty clean sweep.
1t was the year of the Democratic
reaction, when they swept the whole
country by storm. BURKE was cleo
ted Clerk by 583 majority; REITz,
Collector, by 1873; MARTIN, Marshal,
by III; BEHME, Treasurer, by 225,
aad MCBRIDE, Recorder, by 90 Not
withstanding there was an average
Democratic majority of over 500, and
the party was we'll organized, and
with a popular nominee for Mayor,
Judge JOHNSON, WILLIAM BAKER
was again elected, by 80 votes; lead
ing his own ticket again about 600
votes.

:. The Poor Man,s Candidate. ;,

With all the disgusting appeals Of a
demagogue, Mr.. WALKER, in all his
speeches, boasts that be is the poor
mans candidate" What, we may ask,
has he done for the poor men Of
Evansville? On the other hand, Will
LIAM BAKER, in the nine years of his
official service, has done more to give
employment to the workingmen of
this city, and furnish their wives and
children with food and clothing, than
any other score of men. The i'm
provements he has pushed forward,
the school houses built, the street
and wharf improvements, the sewers,
&c, have given a vast deal Of work to
the labOring men of this city, while
the rich men pay the taxes. And yet
he does not offend the intelligence OF
the people by Boosting nightly Of what
he has done, and appealing to the
preiudices of the voters.

The Facts About the L0ngWOrth

From the Courier. April lst.I
Editor Courier !.

Editor Courier:
In a late number of your paper, in
an article in which the MANAGEMENT
of the affairs Of the city was discussed
at some length, there was a statement
in relation to the 'Longworth Track,
which / wish to correct. La the ar
ticle to which l refer, it was stated
that about year since, this property
was offered or could have been pur-
chased for the sum of one hundred
thousand dollars. This statement Is
not correct. The Longworth proper
ty was never offered for sale mt any
price less than two hundred thousand
dollars; and about year since, a
proposition for its purchase at a price
considerably in advance Of Que hun
dred thousand dollars was destined
by the proprietors.
The offer that the city shonld be-
come the purchaser of this valuable
tract for the purpose of public park,
was submitted by the owner Of the
land to me as their Attorney, to be
presented to the City Council for their
consideration, and il is-but justice to
Mayor Baker to say that he had no
agency or interest direct, or indirect,
IN the matter, aud knew nothing Of
the proposition or its terms, until it
was handed by me to him as the pre-
siding officer of the City Council,
with the request that he present it to
that body for their action 1t is to be
hoped that whatever may be the po-
litical character Of the Succeeding
Council, its members will confirm the
wisdom Of the people in this election
by at once securing, on the terms
proposed, this beautiful territory for
the enjoyment and recreation Of the
present aud future generations.

The Courier produces as its last
and best Card, quotation from the
JOURNAL of June, 1862, to support
WALKERS dropping fortunes. That
extract only proves what we have been
asserting and establishing by the off,
cial figures. that IS soon az Repub-
lican Board of Commissioners came
into power the taxes were reduced.
The point IN the whole article is that
the Commissioners reduced the tax
levy ten cents the first year after
the County passed out of Democratic
hands. When that editorial was writ
ten, Mr.. WALKER had gone out of
Office, and the Board Of Commission
ers and Auditors office were under
Republican control.
