THE GRAND RALLY AT THE
COURT HOUSE.
Large and Enthusiastic Meeting
eooa SPEECHES and ne Best of Music.

notwithstanding the exceeding un-
pleasaut weather on Saturday evening.
a large and enthusiastic crowd OF
voters assembled at the Court House
corner on Saturday evening. It was
50 unpleasant there the crowd could
not remain IN open air. and the Court
House was lighted for the occasion
It was dehsely packed by the solid
men Of the city, who have the good Of
the city at heart, and who to-day will
do good work for Mayor Baker. At
least 300 voters, and not boys. who
were unable to get seats, went home.
The meetiag. wzs called to order by
Captain Hargrave, who moved that
DR.. Rucker be made the Chairman Of
the meeting, which was unanimously
agreed to- The Doctor, before taking
his seat, PronouucedR high oulogy on
Mayor Baker, which was received
with raptures of applause. We regret
that for want of space we cannot give
a full report Of the speeches.
When he had concluded, His Hon
OF, Mayor Baker. was called. for, and
stepped forward, taking the stand
amidst the heilddst en- thusiasm. He
spoke for about half an hour, dealing
in facts and figures, his speech being
in marked contrast with that Of his
oppohent, whose low deInagogery has
-simplyIdHgastgd all who-have heard
him speak. 1t was words from an
honest fnan, spoken in a most forcible
style, and not the words of dema-
gogue. srrx-z..s
He was followed by Mai. Robinson,
who sent hot shot into the ranks Of
the enemy, and dealt some heavy
blows to the Copperhead party. Full
notes were taken Of all the speeches.
but the crowded state of our columns
preoludes the possibility of fuller
report.
Major Robinson was followed BY
Mr. Beadle, who spoke in the inter
ests of the public schools, and made
some happy hits on the independent
candidate for councilman in the Sec
ond' Ward. The meeting then adj
j3urned to meet at the polls this
morning. The music which was fur
nished by the c. G. Silver Band was
most excellent. We have not space
to say more.

that he had just retained to the city
TO vote the Democratic ticket, after
an absence of four 6Blfs. and grew
very indignant at the fact that after a
journey, out o. patTf6tics motives, Of
course, he should be SO roughly

was enthusiastic FOR Walker. Our
readers will agree with US that he
had just cause for indignation. Blu
if he should not be allowed to vote
to-day, it will be a Still greater outrage.

THE SUNDAY NIGHT WALKER
PRocEssIoN.--Last night, about 10
o'clock, about one hundred men, sup
porters of Mr.. Walker, got together
and formed a procession, marching
through several streets of the city,
aud making night hideous with their
demoniacal yells. These are the men
who are most warmly supporting Mr..
Walker. We blush to publish the
fact that a procession Of drunken
men, on Sabbath evening, formed a
procession and marched through our
streets, yelling at the top of their
voices, 6 Hurrah for Walker" II is

believe TO DE their interests. These
Sabbath breakers and disturbers Of
the peace must know their man. Q it.

THAT INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
That Investigating Committee was in
session on Saturday. During the fore
Boon James D. Saunders made a
statement 10 regard 10 sidewalk OF
Wac Street, between Fifth and Sixth,
III which it appeared by his evidence
that the walk was not the proper in
cIinstioo, and not the proper width.
uof Of proper grade.
jacob H. Miller testified respect
ing the compromise effected with tire
parties owning the city bonds for sab.
scyiption to ta4 Evansville, Indianap-
oils ( Cleveland Straight-Line Rail
road The disclosures respecting
hat transaction have all been made
before, and all the facts published in
the Journal at the time Of Che trans
action
George Mentzer was examined next,
and testified concerning a sidewalk
on Leet Street which had been re-
paired, and stated that the grade was
uneven, and that he thought he was
charged with about City bricks more
than was used.
Ia the afternoon a man named Jno.
Hannah, who was a sub contractor on
the wharf, stated that he had a con-
tract from Sebastian Kuehn, and that
he believed 10 his own mind that Dir.
William Heilman was a silent part
ner, stating that Kuehn had left that
on his mind, and that it
was the general impression that He'll
man was silent partner Of Kuehn's.
He also stated that he had been paid
at Heilman's Office, aud that Dir. H.
had, on one occasion, wrote receipt
for money paid him.
Mr.. Kuehn, on being sworn. tes-
tilted positively that Mr. Heilman
was not a partner in the wharf con-
tract, and that Mr.. H never had a
cent Of money arising from that con
tract. He was in the habit Of keep
ing his money at Mr.. HIS office, Le-
cause ne had no safe of his own,
Thus, it will be seen that the evidence
of Hannah and Kuehn are directly
and mostpositively contradictory. The
above is the substance fthe evidence
on Saturday. Bdt for want Of space,
we would publish a fuller report of
the Investigation.

o'clock yesterday evening a FIRE broke
out In the kitchen of large two
story frame building, on the new Pc
tersburg road, a few miles from the
city, which resulted in the destruo-
ton Of the house aud contents, to-
gether with ali the out buildings, and
about 1900 pounds of tobacco, 100
bushels Of corn, 800 pounds Of bacon
and 10 bushels Of wheat. The house
belonged to Judge Stephens, and was
occupied by Mr.. Andrew Mclean,
who had lost his wife a few weeks

An aged lady was keeping house for
Mclean, and was alone when the FIRE
occurred. On hearing the flames 10
the kitchen, she opea9d the door, aud
the flames burst upon her, burning

THE REAsoN.-A man in this city,
who is the keeper of house of

why he was working so hard against
certain gentleman who is Repub-
lican candidate for Councilman. His
reply was That man was in the
Council last year, and he voted FOR
the ordinance for the suppression
of houses of ill-fame" Well, but
all the Democratic Councilmen voted
for the same ordinance" says his
questloner. Why don't you work
against Democrats, too?" His an
swer was this, and mark it well
Because I haze reason - believe that
the present Democratic candidates for
Councilnaen ooju not 0ote for such an or
dinance." IF any doubt this, the proof
Of the conversation will be furnished.
