Republican CITY Convention.

It will be seen by official notice
elsewhere that the Republicans of
Evansville are preparing themselves
for the Spring Campaign. 1t has not
been thought advisable to make the
canvass a prolonged one, but sharp,
spirited and earnest. The Republicans
of Evansville, who have controlled its
affairs during the past nine years of
unexampled prosperity have no
thought at-this critical period 10 its
history, of allowing the municipal
government to pass into the hands Of
the Copperheads. Let the Gall Of the
Executive Committee be the sig
nal for the commencement Of or
ganizing work on the part Of the
true men of this city, and on the 9th
Of April next we will, without doubt
be enabled to chronicle another com
plete victory for the Union party and
for the future prosperity of Evans
vile.

The PresIdent,s Programme.

We learn from the Cincinnati
Chronicle that the President has at
last mapped out his plan of campaign
on the impeachment question. His
counsel will appear in Court on Fri
day next aud express a willingness to
proceed at once to trial. They will
then object to every Republican Sena-
tor acting as juror, who has at any
time expressed an opinion as to
Mr.. JOHNsoN's guilt or innocence.
Overruled in this, they will next
raise the question as to whether
Senators from twenty seven States
constitute the Senate of the United
States. They will insist that so long
as ten Southern States are unrepre-
sented, the Senate is not competent
to pass judgment on a case of i'm
parchment Failing also in this, the
President will refuse to proceed with
the trial and martyrize in the most
approved style by rendering his re-
signation. We are confident the lat
ter part of the programme is all that
Mr.. JOHNSON can successfully exc
cute. Gen. GRANT is of the opinion
that the Presidents resignation would
be CLEAN of returning reason" for
which everybody ought to be thank
full, aud we think thesGeneral is alto
gether right.

WASHINGTON.
Report or the Committee on Recon-
structlOn on the Application OF
Alabama Asking AdmlssI0n-intO the
UniOn-ReCOnfmendatiOiI Of the
Passage OF an Act for the AdmIs.
sion OF the State into the Union.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The
Committee on Reconstruction, to
whom was referred the application of
Alabama, asking the admission into
the Union as a sovereign State, re-
ported this morning asEfOllows: That
it is the intention to pursue the spirit,
if not the letter. Of the law, Of March
%, 1867, entitled, an act supple
mentary to an act entitled, an act to
provide for the more efficient govern
ment of the rebel States" passed
March I'd, 1867, and to facilitate res
toration. They especially intend to en-
force the spirit of that law, when
there seems to be any conflict in the
facts in the evidence between the
spirit and the letter. Such is the true
principles laid down by moral jurists
fer the government of judges. By
the act of March %, 1867, where evil
IDENTIFY one was to admit Alabama as a
State, if after full registration with
time for deliberatiOn, if a majority of
the persons should be in favor Of ad-
mission. The other was TO prevent
hasty and precipitate legislation, be-
fore the people should have duly ex-
amined the subject. Hence, the law
provided that not only Alabama, but
all the immediate territory, should
have all her legal voters registered
by proper officers, and if majority
of the legal voters thus registered.
should cast their votes in favor of a
Constitution, a convention should be
ordered for the purpose of framing
one, but if a majority of all the reg
istered votes by either their own vio-
lation of the law, or casualty, should
not be cast against the Con
stitution, they should still be
counted In the neg tive-a most IN
usual provision in our or any other
Government. But In ordinary times
it would have but little effect, In so
far as removals and deaths took place
between the time of registration and
the time of voting. On the day of
the Alabama election, a most extra
ordinary aud unexpected state of
things existed in very large portion
of the State, especially In the Repub-
lican portion. A very severe storm
ragged from morning till night. The
streams were swollen to such an i'm
passable degree that it is testified by
Governor Smith, then elected Gov
ernor of the State, and other
gentlemen, that it kept
from the polls numbers of voters

structlOns to navigation, Ia greater
or less degree, however they may be
constructed; and especially was this
the case On such great rivers as the
Ohio. He claimed that the Ohio in
a national point Of view and IN almost
every other respect, is of more value
to this country than fifty ordinary
railroads. He met the point pre-
sented by Mr.. Cook that Congress
had already authorized the construc-
ton Of a bridge at Louisville, by say
ing that the bridge at Louisville was
at a point where the river was already
INSTRUCTED by nature and not at all
to be used for a greater portion CT the
year, and that there was some reason
for bridge there, especially as the
general Government had at great ex-
pense built a steamboat canal around
the falls. But the proposed bridge at
Paducah is only fifty miles from the
mouth of the Ohio, and below all the
navigable tributaries of that river.
The passage of the bill was advo-
Gated by TRIMBLE, of Kentucky, and
EGGLEsToN, Of Ohio, in addition to
the influential support of the Chair
man of the Committee, Mr.. Cook. It
was not surprising that Judge TRIM
BILE should do all he could to secure
its passage, but we we're not prepared
to see the large shipping interests of
Cincinnati so grossly misrepresented as
they were by Mr.. EGaLEsToN's advo-
cacy of the measure. The opposition
to the bill was evidently very weak,
and inefficiently managed, as it was
passed to its engrossment by a vote of
70 to 81 On its final passage By the
House, on the 81 inst, not enough
opposition could be mustered to order
the yeas and nays.
1t is unnecessary for US to refer
again to the objections to the con-
struction of the proposed bridge, or
the serious injury it will be to the
shipping and commercial interest of
Evansville. They are apparent to all
who give the matter moments con
sideration. We cannot we'll afford to
have the bill, which has passed the
House and is now before the Senate,
become g. law, if there is anything
which can possibly BE- done to prevent |
it. If it is once authorized, it will be |
too late to prevent its construction |
by legal proceedings in the courts,
as by the terms of the bill /
the bridge becomes "a lawful con- /
and a post route of the
United States" 1t is very evident
that, unless active measures be at
once taken, the bill will pass the
Senate. and become law. We be-
lieve it is in the power of our citizens
to prevent it. Our steamboat owners,
and the City Council,
should. take some immediate action in
the matter. Neither should this
action, to be effective, be simply in
words. Our interests should, by
representation, be made
known to our Senators at Washing
ton, and their active efforts be enlist
ed for the defeat Of the bill.

The returns from New Hampshire
indicate that General HARTMAN,
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, is elected over SINCLAIR
Democrat, by an increased majority
over last year. This is a great Re-
publican triumph, since the Copper
heads made such strong efforts to
carry the State, using money freely,
as we'll as all other corrupt means; ;
the creation of voters by fraudulent
naturalization, &C., so we'll known, IN
derstood and practiced by them. This
may be regarded as an auspi-
cious omen of the grand tri-
umph that awaits the Republican
party, with General GRANT as Its
leader, next Fall, and full of signi-
feance as the death signal of the
Democracy, and an endorsement OF
Congress, the Impeachment and the
Reconstruction measures, and that
the loyal people Of the North are
determined that the treacherous De-
mocracy shall not be restored to
power. All hail, New Hampshirel

THE CoNsrocx CAvE.-A new saloon
has recently been fitted up in the base
ment Of Wells, Fargo l. Co.'s building,
south @ street, Virginia, adjoining the
Express Saloon, by Mr.. G. Mangenberg,
formerly proprietor of the Lake Bigler
Hotel. This new saloon is fitted up in
an altogether different style from any
other in the city, and will be known US
"The Comstock Cave" The walls are
decorated with wild lake and mountain
views, supposed, We believe, to repre-
sect scenes on the shores OF Lake Big
Ter. In the views on either side the
rocks increase toward the back part of
the hall or .aloon till they mingle with
an archway of rocks in front of the bar
and a still larger arched opening that
shows behind the "Comstock Cave"
g~listeniug with thousands Of crystals
in the light Of numerous lamps, presen-
ting u beautiful appearance. Eugene
Beckman will be the managing genius
Of the great gro,to, and pretty female
nymphs will wait upon customers with
the most delicious cocktails, lager and
other beverages. Tonight is the grand
opening night. Go and see the cave.
woMAx's DAY.-ln accordance with
an old established custom among the
Holland Dutch and their descendants,
particularly in the State Of New York,
tomorrow being the second OF Feb
ruary, is "Woman's Day" During
that dav, women have q free license to
say and do just whatever they please,
no one of the masculine gender must
interfere; the men must tax n back
seat, and allow hoops and petticoats to
have full swing. If the day is clear, 1t
is o sure sign of a late Spring, and NIL
the old farmers must accordingly econ
omize rs much as possible on their
horse and cattle feed, but il cloudy the
| country is safe; green feed will start up
early and the harvests will be abundant.
This old Dutch custom, like Christmas
or New Years, used to be observed by
them with great Difference, but n
latterly gone somewhat out OF date, al
though still observed to some extent.
BENEFIT OF SIxEs.-A movement is
on foot to give Monument Engine Com
pany No. G, on the Divide, n compli-
mentary benefit at Piper's Opera House
in the ourse of three or four weeks.
"Sixes" are as deserving as any in the
Department, and rs they have bought a
lot on which they propose erecting an
engine house, we hope Il good, substan-
tial benefit will be given them.
AFTER THE VAGRANrs.-Thc police Of
Horntown are making great prcpHra-
tions for q descent upon some of the
impecunius horsc.caters that intest that
unfortunate town; fellows that lie in
wait at the street corners for n Gold
Hitler to come along, in order to strike
him for four bits to buy hash or checks
with, vet who wear better clothes tnan
those they thus bum on. Stir EN- up.
THE BAcHELoR's BALL.-The bache!-
or's ball at Athletic Hall, Virginia, last
evening was one of the most agreeable
affairs Of the season, rs it should have
been, for we understand it cost the un-
mated masculines who engineered 1t the
snug sum Of $500.

A writer in the FIresids Companion
m~orslizes as follows on this topic. We
commend his remarks to tho attention
of those readers having boys old enough
to be out O. nights:
have long been an observer, as |
am n sympathizing lover OF boys.
like to see them happy, cheerful and
cleesome. | am not willing they should
be cheated put of their rightfnl heritage
of youth-indeed, | can hardly under
stand how q heightened, useful man
be the ripened fruit Of " boy who has
not enjoyed q fair share Of the glad
privileges due to youth. But while |
watch with q very jealous eye all rights
and customs which entrench upon the
proper rights of boys, am equally ap-
prehensiye lest parents, who are not
fore-thoughtful, and who have not
h%abituated themselves to close observa-
ton upon the subject, permit their sons
indulcences which are almost certain
10 result in their decentralization, If not
in total ruin /; and among the habits
which I have observed rs tending most
surely to ruin, I know Of none more
prominent than that Of parents permit
ting their son to be in the streets after
nightfall. 1t is r~uinous to their morals
in almos, all instances. They acquire,
under cover of the night, IN unhcathful
and excited state Of mind, bad language
and practices, criminal sediments, u
lawless and riotous bearing; indeed II
is in the street, after nightfall, that boys
principally acquire the education OF the
bad capacity for becoming dissolute,
criminal men. Parents should use, IN
this particular, a most rigid, intiexible
rule, that will never permit n son, un-
der any circumstances whatever, 20 60
into the streets after nightfall, with q
view Of engaging iu out Of door sports
or of meeting other boys Tor social OF
