To the PuhUc-

The chief of the Evansville Daily
Courier has so often told his one hun
dred and eighty-fve Daily subscribers,
of whom eight are dead heads, that u.
nj. p. Carteris no longer the carrierof
the Ourier, that [ hope they will not
henceforth forget it. This is thrown
out as, a forlorn hope, to try to hold
on to his few scattered and scattering
subscribers. which are few and far
between, like angels visits.
But now comes the tug of war. He
has notified all persons owing for the
Courier not to pay any more money to
the undersigned; if they do, it is at
their own risk. Any fool has always
known that any moneys paid to any
carrier of any paper Is at the risk of
the party paying il. All that | want
is a fair, aud just, and equal settle
ment of all matters connected in the
last twenty two weeks that l have
had upon my account as owner of the
lower route. 'Af
/ now leave Mr.. Shanklin and the
Courier, an articuLO morris, to fade
away in his W dreaminess, con-
demned as he will stand in a few
weeks. The only recourse that will
be left to the cowardly ass will be TO
find instruments base enough to fill
the blanks in its infamous produce

EXTENT OF THE DAMAGES.-The
damage to Setchell's stable by the
fire Thursday night was not so great
as we had been led to suppose. We
were informed before the fire was
fully under control, that a part of the
roof had fallen in, but such was not
the ease. The roof timbers we're un-
usually heavy, but they were burned
of, and large sections Of the sheeting,
on which the tin rested, were burned
entirely through, leaving the tin bare.
The whole roof will probably have to
be removed, and some new timbers
put in. The oats aud hay were en-
tirely destroyed. The corn was not
entirely burned up, and a portion Of
it may be used for making starch or
feeding hogs, if it is not rendered too
bitter by the smoke. There were a
dozen or fifteen sleighs in the loft,
which were, OF course, destroyed.
The work of clearing up will COM
mence to-day, and they expect to re-
occupy the stable at once. Much
sympathy is manifested for Mr.. Setch-
ell in all quarters, as this is the third
misfortune of a like character he has
suffered IN this city. We hope it may
be the last.

RECORDERS CoURr.-A man named
John Devlin appeared before the Re-
corder yesterday on charge Of stealing
a $50 greenback from the Zouave Sa-
loon. The case appeared to be a plain
one, as the money was found in his
possession. He was held to bail in
the sam Of $3.50, to appear at a higher
court. He expressed the opinion that
the amount fixed was too high, and
then had the satisfaction of being
lodged with Sheriff Miller for safe
keeping.

POLE RAIgTnds.-The Democracy
raised three Seymour and Blair poles
last night. one at Huf 5 grocer7, n
at Jim Huches's, on Division Street,
and one at Stockfeth's grocery, cor
ner of Sixth and Sycamore Streets.
The POLES were all raised by the same
crowd, which at no time was large
the Democratic Silver Band, com
posing one-third of the men in attend
ancc. Mr.. Whittlesey acted as speaker
at two meetings, while William
Kluseman came in on the enthusiasm.
1t was funny to see Kluseman, with a
"hip, hip" give the word for the huz-
zah. By the way, it was a good trick
to raise all the poles they had on the
same night, and with the same crowd.
1t is strategy worthy of Whit. To
make a big display with a small crowd
Is a characteristic Of his.
Being pregnant with a speech, and
panied to be delivered. and not find
ing an " accOucheur at the Eighth
Ward meeting, Peter Maier wendell
his lonely way to Stocktleth's grocery,
to a pole raising. where his labors
were successful, aL1 once more he
was delivered of a speech. Like the
bull that attacked q the locomo-
tive, and with a like discretion, SO
Peter attacked the speech of General
Carl Schurz. Our German fellow
citizens will see clearly where the
sjoke comes in. For Peter to attack
General Schurz's speech at once en-
titles him to the rank of a man of
Infinite jest" for certainly he was
in fun, and could not possibly
have been of the opinion that
he could enlighten the people
on subjects that such a master
mind as General Carl Schurz had so
ably handled. 1t was like a very
small dog baying at the moon. When
the pole had been raised, the band
commenced playing Rally Round
the Flag" and Peter subsidized. Thus
closed the last pole raising for last
night. >

GRANT GUANDs-EIGHTH WARD
MEETING!AQuite a large number OF
the friends Of Grant and Colfax
assembled at the corner Of Franklin
and Mary Streets last evening, Tor the
purpo of organizing a company of
Grant Guards. The boys appeared
quite enthusiastic in the cause, and
set to work at once with a win. Sew
enty- three names were enrolled on
the spot, and officers would have been
elected but for the ~lateness of the
hour at which the enrolment was
completed, and the other business
transacted. On the part of the citi-
zens and soldiers, the following named
gentlemen were appointed a commit
tee to canvass the ward and enlist all
who desire to join the organiza,
ton: James Wiltshire, John Greek,
f. w. Brinkmeyer, s: Curnick, and
William Andrus. The Grant men in
the Eighth Ward are wide awake,
and will do a good work. 1t is the
intention to organize two full COM
panies in that ward. if possible. An
other meeting will be held on Mon
day evening, the place to be desig-
mated hereafter, at which time officers
will be elected. Before the meeting
adjourned, each man pledged to at
tend the next one, and secure the
attendance of one or more besides
himself-a good resolution.
