There is nothing to which our citi
zens have been accustomed to point
with so much pride, and nothing
which 50 favorably impresses a stran-
ger in visiting our city, as cur Public
School Houses. And yet the Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor, in his
Market-house harangue, boldly de-
clared that they were twice as large and
twice a. expensive as they ought to
be, and that one half as large as that
recently built IN the Ninth Ward,
would answer for twenty years TO
come. So it may, for such
illiterate men as Mr.. WALKER
and that large majority of his
party who are on principle known to
be opposed 10 all public free schools
whatsoever. But while the statistics
show that there are in this city school
house accommodations for less than
one-third of the children entitled to
school privileges, and while our pres
ent houses are filed to overhowing,
we are salts fed the liberal and intel
ligent majority Of the voters Of Evans
vile will not only endorse what Mayor
BAKER and the School Board have
done, but will say to them by their
decision next Monday, go forward
in the good work of building school
houses"

The Nashville Railroad.

The importance of the early com
pletion of the Nashville Railroad is
acknowledged by all of our business
men and by all citizens who are in
favor of the continued progress of
the city. 1t is the first public matter
to which our people must give their
attention. 1t will be remembered that
at a recent meeting of large number
of our leading citizens aud heaviest
taxpayers, it was unanimously re-
solved that if the terms Of our sub
scription to that enterprise could be
safely modified, i would be greatly to
the interests of the Road to furnish
the company One Hundred Thousand
Dollars this season. In order to de-
termine this matter Mayor BAKER,
Mr.. HOPKINS and DR.. BRAY made
their recent trip TO Hopkinsville, to
attend the meeting of the Director
Their report, which we have pub
lished, is highly favorable to the en-
terprise and to the advancement of
the amount desired.
This IS the important question
which will be presented to the people
Immediately after the city election.
VIII we invest in the Nashville Rail-
road one hundred thousand dollars
at once? Aud if so, how shall we do
it in order to be Of the most value to
the Company, and yet save our city
from the ruiaous discount on its
bonds to which the city Of Hender-
son was subjected? 1t is a pertinent
question in the canvass for Mayor of
the city. It will test the strength of
our city's credit to raise one hundred
thousand dollars in the present strin-
gent condition Of the money market,
and yet it must be done in order to
push forward this much needed en-
terprise. Who is the best man to,
fnancier such an important measure
as that, WILLIAM BAKER or WILLIAM
II. WALKER? Let the taxpayers and
<ntelligent business men of Evan.
VILE answer.

Nothing but a prompt adoption,
by this city, Of a conservative policy
Will save the Free School system from
utter annihilatiOn. Light Taxes a
Heavy Trade, and Free Schools his
IS the rallying cry of the Conservative
/ Democracy Courier, 3lst.
We have yet to see the Democracy
rally at the cry of Free Schools. -
That cry has resounded through our
city many times, in the past twelve
years, but no rallying was done by the
Democracy, save to oppose all who
shouted and echoed the cry. By
three-fourths of the party in Evans
vile the words can not be spoken.
They would make as bad work, In
prOnouncing them, as did the Eph-
raimites at the fords Of Jordan, in
their efforts to say Shibboleth They
don't believe In Free Schools. They
regard them as an abomination. They
greatly prefer ignorance. Light
Taxes and Heavy Trade are good
catch-words. But how can the De-
mocracy rally under the cry of Light
Taxes, when the city taxes were
tsoenty-fve per cent beaUier, under
their management of municipal affairs,
than they have been during the Re-
publican administration How can
they prate about light taxes when,
under Mr.. WALKERS management,
county taxes we're collected amount
ing to S22 83 in gold to every voter in
the county, and since his removal
from Office the taxes have been as low
as SO 30 per voter IN currency?
The glaring inconsistency Of asking
the Democracy to rally at the cry Of
=" Light Taxes, in view Of these facts,
is too great to arouse enthusiasm.
We suggest that the old, time-hon-
ored. cry of down with the Niger"
:" no niger equality" &c, is far more |
than the new-faugled Re-
publican notions about :" Light |
Taxes and Free Schools" If some
thing new is absolutely essential, why
not vociferate " Plenty of Greenbacks
and no responsibility" We throw
out these suggestions for our Demo
cratic friends who haven't seen the
light taxes under Democratic admin
stratiou, and who can't swallow the
Free School dodge.

Mr. WALKER il his last effort to
defend himself in the purchase of
arms for the County in 1861, publishes
IN the Courier an extract from a com
munication published in the JOURNAL
of May 26th, 1861, written by Judge
FOSTER, one of the County Commits
sioners, from which it appears that
Mr.. WALKER telegraphed the COM
mittee here what he had purchased,
and the offer he had to purchase En-
field rifles. and requested their in
structions as to how many he should
buy. After a full consultation of the
Committee, to which was added the
advice of the Mayor (BAKER) and one
of the County Commissioners, he was
instructed to purchase 200 Enfield
rifles, which he did"
Mr. WALKER rather Injuries than
helps his case by this extract. His
entire purchase of guns amounted to
ga, In addition to large lot of trash,
in the way of cavalry pistols, sabers,
&c. tits we'll known that about the only
guns which were at all fit for use
were the two hundred Enfield rifles,
and these he would not buy until he
had positive instruction from the
committee here. But for the timely
advice of Mayor BAKER and others
here, his entire purchase would have
been a complete failure. The two
hundred Eufeld rifles are all that
saved his investment from being to-
tally valueless, and for this, il appears,
upon his own showing, we are indebt-
ed to Mayor BAKER aud others here, /
aud not to the shrewdness of the |
Democratic candidate for Mayor.

A Democratic FaIsehnnd.


The Democratic newspapers, to
some extent, have revived of late a
! dishonest trick, which years ago was
practleed by some few disreputable or
gans of that party. BY making pre-
tended quotations from newspapers of
influence, the attempt was made to
impose upon the voters by creating
political capital. A recent instance
of this species Of Justification has been
brought to our notice. The follow
ing paragraph has received a wide
circulation at the West through the
medium of the Democratic press:
The Boston Journal says:
Although it has cost US a great deal
Of time, and cost Us a vast amount of
money, we have at last got the stolid
Dutch Of the West educated up to
the higher law standard. When but
a few years ago they spit upon US the
" despised abOlitionists, we deter
mined the negro" Gas they called
the colOred many should be made
their equals or we would crush the
Union. Cclored suffrage is a fixed
fact. The foot of the negro is now
on the neck Of our ancient revilers,
and those who are not IN our tolls
must stand from under.
And these sentiments were uttered
in the year of our Lord Eighteen
Hundred and Sixty Eight, in a re
nowned centre Of political enlighten-
ment and at the very source of Puri-
tan civilization
We are indebted to the Evansville
(Ind. JOURNAL for its prompt denial
Of the authority Of the above para
graph, which it is needless to say
never appeared in our columns. The
sentiments therein expressed are not
only totally at variance with those
frequently uttered by US regarding our
citizens, but as our citizens
are we'll aware, the very language car
ries undoubted evidence Of the i'm
possibility that they ever originated
in our columns. 1t is too much to
ask or expect that the newspapers
which have given circulation 10 such
trash as coming from The Boston
Journal should publish this refuta
ton of a base forgery.

How Il will Work

One of the largest contractors and
builders in the city, few days ago,
made an effort to dispose of a large
amount of City Bonds to one Of the
leading capitalists of Evansville. The
answer was, that he could buy none
now, and must wait until he saw into
whose hands the City Government
and its financial management would
be placed. If Mayor BAKER was to
continue to manage matters, he would
be assured not only Of the response
bility of the City for its Bonds, but
that they would be maintained at
something near their par value. But
if an untried man and new measures
were to govern the city, he could not
tell to what price City Bonds would
go, or whether they would ever be
paid at all.
We know that the credit of Evans
vile is unexcelled by that of any
Western city, in the New York mar
ket. Our bonds are held, on the
Stock Board, higher than any of our
neighboring cities. Notwithstanding
the heavy improvements of which the
Democracy, who pay a very small
proportion Of the taxes, complain, the
price of City Orders have been we'll
sustained. In this respect, there is a
marked contrast between Mayor BA-
KER's administration and that of his
Democratic predecessor. What will
be the result if the people pronounce
against Mayor BAKER, the above in
cident illustrates.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-04-01

IT was the desire of the School
Board and the city authorities to erect
in Lamasco, the coming season, an at
tractive and comfortable school house,
with all the modern school improve
ments. But we are given to under
stand from Mr. WALKER that if he is
elected Mayor, the style of school
house architecture will have to be
changed, as he is in favor of a return
to the primitive style in the good old
days of genuine Democracy.

The CITY Wharf.

The statement made by Mayor
BAKER. in his speech on Saturday
night, in reference to the City Wharf,
surprised and gratifed our citizens.
In 1853, when the Democracy turned
over the city government to Mayor
BAKER, there was a mud wharf, a
debt Of $32, 900, and not a cent Of
revenue coming into the City Treasu-
~ from that source. Now, we have
one of the best wharfs in the West,
and with a rate Of wharfage equal to
other cities, the revenue from this
quarter alone would pay the entire
interest on a debt of 100000. And
yet Mayor BAKER is abused by the
Democracy for what he has done in
this matter But every liberal and
progressive citizen rejoices at what he
has accomplished

WE see by the Unioa, Of yesterday,
that Mr.. WALKER is engaged in ex-
planning away some charges which
have been preferred against him as
guardian and administrator, in Which
capacity it vas alleged that he man
aged the property more for his own
gain than for the interest of the or
phans and widows. Mr.. WALKER is
quite indignant at the charge, and
makes an unequivical denial.

That "Treacherous Memory

1t has been suggested to US that Mr.,
WALKERS treacherous memory "
may have again deceived him, and
that there is an explanation which
will exculpate him from the charge of
criminal culpability 10 abstracting the
Public Records from the Auditor 5
office. He insists that he returned
the Real Estate Register. 1t is sug-
gested that he has confouuded this
with the return of his celebrated Real
Estate Assessment when he was City
ASSESSOR Probably Mr.. WALKERS
memory being thus refreshed will
help him out of the dilemma Of con
viction of a wilful falsehood.
