which stand forward beyond all
others in the derogate and scandalous
defence that was made in the Senate
ia behalf of Andrew Johnson. One
'of these is that having the right to
suppress law passed by a two
thirds vote over his veto, he has
equally the right to suppress all laws
1f Congress-, even if passed by the
unanimous vote Of both Houses. The
other principle assumed is, that he is
not amenablc to impeachment for
any instruction of the law, if he can
show that hc took counsel of his
Cabinet before doing the unlawful
act. In other words, he pleads the
prcrogativc of the British Grown
which holds that the Executive is
superior to the operation of the law,
and responsible only through his
Ministers. This, with the previous
clairn To stamp out the laws of Con.
gross according to his fancy, is pure
and adulterated Cmsariim and we
do not hesitate to say that the
American Senator who votes to
sustain these assumptions by his
aequittal, will be deserving Of death.
He will be deserving of death,
because, should his vote result to the
criminals aequittal, he would have
contributed to resolution which
would sweep away our present insti-
tutions and plant monarchy upon
their ruins.
sas "We are not dealing in mere
figures of speech for it Is manifest
that if the minority prevail in pre-.
venting a condemnation of Andrew
Johnson for tho usurpations proved
a against him, he at once becomes a
. Ruler instead of an Executive, and
the other branches of the Govern
nnent power at his feet. After that
? there will be no more twc-third votes
passed above his vetoes nor any
! more attempts to reject his nominees.
Tho Senatorial function of appoint.
ment, indicated in the words q by
and with the advice and consent OF
the Senate,n will become a lost power,
and both Houses will deliberate
thereafter only at Andrew Johnsons
pleasure. The immediate effects OF
such AN endorsement of his usur-
Jpations wonld doubtless be, the
occupation of Washington by the
Maryland Grays, the removal OF
General Grant to some distant post
and the admission of the Confederate
States to Congress for a revision Of
the last six years legislation. The
northern border Of the Coniederacy
,dwould then swing at once to the
banks of the Susquehanna, and the
only safety for certain of the most
honored Of our statesmen would be
in flight. We have said that the
American Senator who contributes
to this state ofruin and degradation
by his vote, will be deserving Of the
.jpenalty Of death land we would add
o that the doubly periidious man who
!. deserts his party to perform such
! ,rime, shenld not be allowed even
What miserable privilege, but be
obliged to live and bear the deadly
infamy and liyid scorn which will be
his need, not from his outraged
countrymen alone, but from the
flowers OF liberty throughout the
i world, forever Wilkes Spirit

Mr.. John Ingle, Jr., by last
evenings train.
Thomas Il. Petit, of the Owens
boro Monitor, was a passenger by the
Morning Star yesterday, en- route to
Henderson. He will be in the city
to-day, and will attend Maginley &
CAROLS circus.
We had the pleasure yesterday of
meeting, on board the Morning Star,
Captain s. Barmore, Chief of the
Southwest Detective Police, who is
en- route to Paducah. 1t will be re-
membered, perhaps, that over a year
ago, Captain Barmore visited this
city, while he was engaged in working
up case against the thieves who
were plundering the freight trains on
the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad He
was remarkably successful in that in
stance, having ferreted out and placed
under bond every one connected with
those robberies, including several of
those since arrested as participants in
the series of heavy express robberies
that have taken place during the last
six months, on the Jacksonville and
the Ohio & Mississippi railroads.

THE E., III. & n. r. R.-RETURN
OF THE COMMIssIONERs.-From Mr..
John III. Barrett, of Henderson, one of
the Commissioners sent to New York
to hypothecate the bonds of this city
for the benefit of the Evansville,
Henderson & Nashville Railroad, we
learn that he and Mr.. Ingle, of this
city, succeeded in selling about $780,
600 worth of the bonds at IS cents on
the dollar. The bonds remaining un-
sold have been placed in the hands of
responsible parties, who, it is hoped,
will soon be able to sell them at
equally favorable rates. They also
purchased sufficient iron to finish the
road to Madisonville, and GIG tons of
it have already reached Cincinnati,
and may be expected here in a few
days, and 595 tons more are expected
at Cincinnati by the first of next
week. The friends of the road have
cause to congratulate themselves upon
the good fortune of having secured
the services of two men of such abil-
ity, experience and fidelity to repre-
sent them in the New York market.
1t is expected that the road will be in
running order to Madisonville by the
first Of January next.

a CowARDLY. ASSAULT. - When
the Tarascon was lying at Henderson
on Wednesday evening, a man ap-
preached Capt. Gilmore, who was
standing on the guard of the Taras-
con, while the other was on the wharf
boat, and extended his hand as if he
desired to shake hands. Captain Gill
more, not suspecting anything. but
supposing it was some friend whom
he did not recognize, reached out his
hand which the other grasped vio-
lently, and jerked Captain Gilmore
down upon the floor of the wharf
boat, and struck him severely on the
face. Parties interfered and separ-
ated them. It appears that on
the 4th of July the Henderson
man made an unprovoked at
tack upon the steward of the
Tarascon, because the latter requested
him politely not to drink with his
head over the barrel of ice water pre-
pared for the excurtionists. One or
two gentlemen from Louisville inter-
fered in behalf of the steward, and
the affair was reported to the officers
of the boat. who were about to put
the offender ashore, but were pre-
vailed upon to allow him to remain

THE GRANT SPIRIT IN TENNESSEE.
One of the best business houses in
this city yesterday received from
Waynesboro, Tennessee, with other
orders, the following: " Have us a
nice sign painted on canvas, three
feet long, lettered as follows: Grant
Saloon, by Stribling & Turman;' also
four dozen hand flags, bearing the
following inscription: For President,
Ulysses S. Grant; for Vice President,
Schuyler Colfax; for Congress, Sam.
Nj. Arnold" This order comes from
that part of Tennessee which has
been supposed to be under the exclu-
sive control of Emerson Etheridge.

OUR SOLDIER DEAD.-We mem
toned yesterday that Mr.. John N.
Whitman was in the city. with au-
thority to look after the condition Of
the deceased soldiers Of the late war,
In this region of Indiana and Ken
lucky, and remove all such as he
should think best to the National
Cemetery at New Albany. He went
before the City Council yesterday,
and presented the subject of the SOL
diers' lot of Oak Hill Cemetery before
that body. Under the regulations of
the Government, it is necessary that
all soldiers burying places shall be
owned by the United States. 1t is
proposed, in order to obviate the ne
cessity of the removal of the
remains of our cOuntry's de-
tenders to the National Cemetery
at New Albany. that the city make a
sale or transfer of the Soldiers Lot
to the Government, and engage to
keep the same in good order here
after. 1t will be burning shame to
us if we do not keep in our own Gem
etery and care for in the proper man
ner the graves of the Union soldiers
now buried there; and we hope the
| Council will not hesitate to give the
United States deed to the lot at q
merely nominal sum, and engage fol
alktime to come to keep it in good
order,

THE NEW SEWER.-The work on
the new sewer, which approach
es the river via Seventh Ave
nue., is progressing fairly. The
heaviest of the excavation has been
finished, and the tunnel of the sewer
laid, from the point where it deboach-
es on the river bank to a point nearly
where the tlrn is made, near the
paper mills. Very elaborate brick
work Is being built at the mouth of
the sewer, on the river bank, which
ought to be sufficient to withstand
the heaviest floods in the Ohio. 1t
mas been suggested to us that the
mouth of the sewer is too HIGH. and
will not allow of its BEING ovtonJaI

We believe the proposition i - -
tend it at present only to the east "a
OF Fulton Avenue, at which noin. J.
will be several feet below the surface

AyvH9TxsEES are not only satisfied with
our charges, bat know that the paper tv1
and is the friend OF that peoPle ,ti hS,I1
which the trade of Evansville Is cnlehS
derived.--Cotster, 18Th inst.
We don't know from what section
the Courier supposes the trade OF
Evansville is chiefly derived, but
;ndge IL must refer to Kentucky and
Illinois. We are prepared to prove,
TO any responsible committee of dis
interested business men, that the
JOURNAL has double the number of
regular bona tide paying subscribers
IN either or both of those States than
is now possessed by the Courier.
Does the Courier accept the challenge?
It is a matter of much Importance to
advertisers to know what the claim
set by newspapers to a large circula-
ton amounts to. We are willing to
include both the States named, or to
eonfine the investigation to Ken
lucky.
We have repeatedly been forced to
deny the claim set up by the Courier
to greater circulation in Kentucky
or other particular localities, and fOr
time it would be silenced, but only
to set up its false claim again. Let
us now have a final settlement of the
question. For many months we had
the following challenge standing al
the head of the editorial columns Of
the JOURNAL, and it never provoked
the Courier into a reply:
1.-THE circulation of the JOURNAL IL
the city of Evansville is three times
1 as large as that 81 any other newspa
per.
s@pr circulation in Indiana and
Illinois is greater than any Other
newspaper published in this city.
"In Kentucky it is larger thar
that of all the other Evansville pa
pers combined"

STILL ENvIoUs. - The Courier is
still making spiteful insinuations
based upon our change of publication
to the folio form. The change was
made for the reasons stated by us at
the time, and, as far as we have heard
any expression, is satisfactory to our
patrons. We are publishing as much
reading matter as we ever did, and
more than any other paper in the
State outside of Indianapolis. A
comparison with its own columns
ought to silence the Courier. We can
only repeat what we have heretofore
said, that when it shall have attained
one-third the circulation of the jour.
NAL, and furnish to its readers one
half as much reading matter, it may
set itself up as a critic of our bust
ness.
