Fair Play.

While the JOURNAL has been out
spoken and unsparing in its examina-
ton into, and criticism of, the record
made by WILLIAM H. WALKER as
Auditor of Vanderburgh County, it
has treated him with. no unfairness.
He has had ample time and opportu-
nifty to defend himself both upon the
stump aud with the pen. Indeed,
Mr.. WALKER himself admits that he
has been dealt with honorably in this
particular. If ne has been misjudged
he has had plenty of time to show
wherein. If the facts quoted against
him are fictious, and the figures false,
he has had all the time he could de-
sire or ask to prove them such. He
can only regard the Journal as an
opponent somewhat impetuous in its
assaults, but resorting to no tricks or
underground management to prevent
him having a fair hearing before the
people. If the voters of Evansville
decide against him, it will be after
full, complete, and thorough discus
sion of his merits and dement's, upon
which to base an intelligent decision.
We make these remarks in view of
the fact that leading Democrats have
insinuatingly sugge5 ted, within the
last two or three days, that attacks
are to be made upon Mayor BAKERS
administration, but at so late an hour
in the canvass that he will have no
opportunity of replying to them. We
quite agree with these Democrats

No Time for Experiments.

The Democratic candidate for
Mayor asked the people at the Peter
Maier meeting in the Market House
to experiment with him one term In
that responsible Office, and-if not sat
isfed, he would resign. The present
is no time to experiment with untried
men. WILLIAM BAKER has served
the City of Evansville faithfully for
nine years. He is no experiment.
The people know his capacity, and
will hardly accept Mr.. WALKERS
proposition. 1t might be too costly.
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-03-30

tiled to public school privileges.
/ The present accommodation 10 the
/ pubic school houses of the City, in.
Guiding two engine houses now being
used, are 2275. And yet the
Democratic candidate for Mayor of
the city Of Evansville, which, above
all others In the State, prides itself on
its Public Schools, says that " house
with half the capacity. and at half the
cost, would have done for that part of
the city for the next twenty years to
come.
While we are surprised that Mr..
WALKER should have so little politi-
cal shrewdness as to assail our noble
system of Public Schools, we know
very well that the mass of the party
to which he belongs is opposed to the
Public Schools of Evansville, and to-
Free Schools generally. We go fur
Their, and assert that the majority Of
the men who viii vote for WILLIAM
II. WALKER for Mayor do not send
their children to the public schools
of this city to-day. More than
this, we assert that they would, if
they had the power, abolish our Free
Schools altogether. 1t was under the
inspiration of this influence, which is
well understood in this City, that Mr..
WALKER declared himself, at the
Market House, opposed to any more
school houses. It is well that he is
so candid Our. citizens can, in view
of his position on this vital question,
the better decide upon his fitness for
Mayor of Evansville.

THE Odd Fellows of Fort Branch
propose to have a public installation
of their officers on Monday, the 9th
day of April next. 1t is also given
out that an oyster supper will be serv
ed at night of the same day, in the
interest of the Order at that place,
for which, Of course, a charge will be
made The Lodge at Fort Branch
has been established but a short time,
and has not yet been provided
with a suitable outfit of regalias, en-
blems, etc. We are credibly informed
that upwards Of $500 has been ex-
pended by the Order to provide it
with a Hall, and such other things as
are indispensable to a working Lodge.

thai it is wisdom on their part to give
the Mayor no chance to defend him
sell, because 50 sure as he has the op-
portunity, so sure are we that he will
efactually silence his assailants. Bus
the fairness of such a proceeding is al
together another matter. There IS
nothing honorable II It. We have al
ready challenged az investigation of
his Administration fit is faulty or
criminal let it be known. But we do
protest against the assassin-like pro-
ceeding Of charging ofenses against
candidates without giving them any
opportunity Of defending themselves.
In fact, it IS fair to presume that
charges naade against candidates on the
dag Of The election, or immediately pre-
ceiling IT, ARE FALSE. We now warn
the people not to believe any SANDER
Gus reports that may be put IN cireu-
lation on the heels Of the election. If
there was any truth in them, they
would be circu'a ted in time to allow
an answer We call the attention Of
Republicans to this warning, that
they may be ready to brand election
day lies as they deserve.

Entertains a Doubt,

Mr.. WALKER, from his meat block

promise to resign, seemed to intimate
a doubt Of his ability to administer
our city affsirs to the satisfaction of
the people. The people share in the

/ THE Cov.ter seeks to accouut iof
our attacks upon ez- Auditor WALK
ER's official conduct BY dseting a
paragraph from his secret and auony-
nous 20. B j. pamphlet, in which
he charges the Journal with having
supplied one of the offices Of the
County with blank record books
that cannot be filed in twenty
years" and leaves the impression, by
his false insinl4qtioas, that thisis only
sample Of what he has seen in the
other Offices. We have not here
tofore thought it necessary to re
fer to that assertion in the cow
ardly document, to which the ex-
Auditor had not the manliuess to
attach his name; but win now state
a fact which Mr.. WALKER could
readily have known if hewas anxious
for the truth. During Col. RHEIN-
LANDS term as Treasurer, he sent for
the Foreman Of our Bindery and gave
him an order for two classes of
records, one Of which was for nine
copies of small receipt blanks. and
the other for one record book Of large
size. By an error in giving the order,
or in the Foreman's understanding Of
it, the order was reversed, and nine
copies Of the large record book
made, The mistake was not discov-
cred until the books were delivered
at the office, when the Treasurer
refused to receive or the Com
missioners to pay for them.
For the first time the order or the
mistake were then brought to the
knowledge of the proprietors of the
JOURNAL, whereupon we went before
the Commissioners and explained the /
facts and proposed to reduce the bin |
to the actual cost Of manufacturing |
them. This proposition was accepted, |
and the records received. Mr.. |
WALKER is welcome to whatever cap
ital he can make out of it. He will I
find no other instance than the one
cited. We doubt, however, whether
the ex-Auditor would like for US to
retort by exposing the Arrangement
which he had with the book-binders
of Indianapolis during his official
terms.
The Courier was most unfortunate
in its quotation from the pamphlet, and /
it seeks to cover up Mr.. WALKER S
shame by giving the extract credit to
its own columns, where it originally
We have not been able to
get Mr.. WALKER, in any Of his Cards
Dr editorial defense, to make the
slightest allusion to this secret
and we have good reason
to believe that he has become heartily
ashamed Of his conduct in that affair.
The opening article in the 0. B. J..' |
pamphlet was one of the most un-
,alled-for and unprovoked attacks
1pou worthy family we have ever
known; and its absolute irrelevancy
% the objects sought to be accom-
3Iished made it disreputable and
leartless in the extreme. Mr.. WALK F
Err fearing the consequences which

luieted, and promised that that por-
ion of it would not be circulated.
Accordingly he has pasted up the
caves of the first article, and covered

AN OUTRAGE.-One of the Demo

AN OUTRAGE.-One of the Demo-
cratic orators at the market house
last Friday night, announced the
somewhat startling fact that the Coun-
ty Clerk charged two dollars for issu-
ing marriage license, whereas; he
stated, the lgl0 does not allow but one
dollar to be charged. Marriage. he
said, was about all the luxury a poor
man was allowed to indulge in, and
he denounced this practice as Won
derfully extortionate, and intimated
that it was detrimental to the interests
of Democrats. As he is the young
est Democrat " in the city, and may
have serious notions about commit
ting matrimony," it is eminently fit
the young man should raise his
voice against this outrageous practice.
What! charge a man two dollars for
the authority to unite himself with
the lovely being who is to make him
happy in this life, and pave the way
for him to heaven? 1t is preposter-
Gus. It's outrageous. He who raises
his voice against, this extortionate
practice, is most surely a public bene-
factor.

about the return of the 500 to the

that Treasury Agents Sloan, Maker,

are involved. The frauds are chiefly
in tobacco aud whisky in bonded
warehouses at Galveston. -Four hun
dred barrels, supposed to contain
whisky were found filed with water;
300 empty, and 80 had been filed
with a combustible compound, with a
view, probably, Of destroying the
