At the Democratic meeting at the
Court House, on Saturday night, Mr..
VIM. II. WALKER read the call made
upon him last January, to become a
candidate for Mayor, with the sigma
lures attached to it. On Sunday, the
Courier republished the call It will
be remembered that at the Conven-
ton nominating Mr.. WALKER, he
made a little speech in which he said
that he depended upon his Democratic
friends for his election. At that par
ticular j1ncture, everything appeared
to be lovely 20 the Ex-Auditor, and
he based his claims upon the sound
ness of his Democracy. Subsequent
events and developments have given
him new light on the subject. He now
apprehends that something beside
his Democracy is necessary to make
his calling and election sure. Ac-

Ia the Spring OF 1862. the people feel
ing the necessity 81 having an eqait-
able aad correct assessment, elected
WILLIAM H. WALKER one of the
City Assessors. He was specially
selected on accouRt of his supposed
intimate knowledge of-the reaFestate
Of the city, its different arrangements,
Additions, &c, and because as Audi
tor and subsequently as Real Estate
Spectator, he was presumed to be
able to make such an assessment as

In an eastoTishinely short time Mr..

all right. Tut when it was carefully
examined, ne fact was revealed that
he had tranmitted to the new assess

Every one Who made an examiuation

and COMPARISON, It appeared that /

children In the city of Evansville,
and school house accommodation for
only 2,275-or for less than one third
Of the children entitled to the priv

WALKER, the Democratic candidate
for Mayor, publicly announces that
the new School House on Ninth
Street is twice as large as it ought to
be, and that one of half the capacity
would answer the purpose for t,oeaty
gears to come. This can mean moth

not in favor of providing for the gen

The Public Schools of Evansville,
in which our people take so much
pride, are glorious monument to the

nothing In the whole Of WILLIAM
BAKERS nine years service as Mayor
which the people more fully endorse,
than what he has done for increasing
the usefulness of our Public Schools,
and toward the erection Of the sub
stantial, comfortable and attractive
houses for their accommodation. Mr..
WALKER has made the issue himself

and schools, and we are willing to

Too Fine For Poor Folks.
Editors Journal:
I see by Mr. Walker Market
house speech that he is not satisfied
with the Ninth Street School House.
1t is too expensive. 1t is altogether
too tine for The poor people, whose
children are to enjoy its comforts and
conYeniehoes. Such a building might
do very well for the aristocratie per-
ton of the city, but is entirely IN
necessary for the children of the poor
mechanics and labcrers, who make up
the population in the upper portion
of the Second and Third, and the en-
tire Ninth, Wards. Some old riekety
building like the old school room on
Main Street, or the old rented house
90 Ninth Street, according to Mr..
" dAhCAs al 2 l4UlAg SOb0 CuOuEl lot the
poor children in their neighborhoOd.
Ii is true that the new school build

Mr.. Walker and the peculiar interest

pOrt) feels a Just pride-is expected
TO accommodate the children Of that

a century; but what of that2 Couldn't

abandoned building be rented for a
great deal less money than the new
school house cost vWouldn't thpy be
good enough for the miserable poor
people whose children would expect
to go to them? Besides, amt there
danger that the poor children may
learn too much2 May they not be-
come smart enough to see through
such political tricksters as Mr. Walk
er, and estimate them at their true
value?
1t has been in contemplation, I I'M
1erstand, by the School Trustees, to
erect, soon, another large school build
ng in LamascO. Should Mr.. Walker
be elected Mayor, he would, no doubt,
Use the Influence he could exercise,
rs Mayor, to prevent the building of a
decent house. He would oppose the
building Of any house, or favor the
construction of so mean a enc that
he children aud their parents would
lespise it, This, Of course. is an ad-
iitional reason why the voters Of La
nasco should rally to his support.
We apprehend, however, they won't
zee it 10 that light. But however
hat may he, Messrs. Editors. [

Ninth Warders on the fact that their
chool house was built before Mr..
Walker became candidate.

ARREST OF A POSTOFFICE CLERK IN CHI-
CAGo.-William J, Steele, a young man
occupying a responsible position in the
postoffice, was arraigned before Commits
sioner Hoyne yesterday, charged with pur-
Joining letters that had passed through
his hands and abstracting money there
from. Steele had, q year ago, been pro-
NOTED to the post of confidential clerk in
the office, being put in the place Of another
of whom some suspicious were at that time
entertained. His own honesty was un-
doubted. Indeed, the postmaster had Sc
lected him out of many as one upon whom
he might surely depend.
Last week, however, after hearing seve-.
raj complaints, young Steele was detected
by the postmaster himself in the act of ap-
propriating letters, and yesterday an exami-
nation was had. In the possession OF the
culprit were found over one hundred and
sixty letters, which contained sums vary
ing from ten cents up to ten and twelve dol
lars. The greater part were directed to
the La Crosse Democrat, to &C Brick Pome-
roy" or to &c NJ. M. Pomeroy," while quite
a number were mailed to one Stanley, pro-
prietor of gift enterprise in La Crosse.
The amount Of money taken from them
all is not yet ascertained. Young Steele is
the SON of an old and wealthy settler of this
city, who was formerly proprietor Of the
McArdle House property. The son had
served in the army, and had always borne
an unblemished character. He was held
for trial in the sum Of SIS, OOO.-Ch'cdgo

Secretary has now on hand about $780,
100000 in coin, $40, 100000 of which is in
certificates. BY the first of the month So, $780,
600 in coin will be added to the amount
now on hand, and, deducting therefrom the
amount necessary to pay the interest, will
leave balance on hand of $79,o0O,O0O

terest is due until the lst OF January, 1869,
when about SIS, 100000 in coin will be re-
CURED to pay the semi-annual interest on
the bonds for 1881, which is about the
amount that is estimated will be received
during the months of November and De-
cember, leaving the coin on hand January
lst, 1869, about the same as on the first of
next month.

GENERAL GRANT on NEGRO SUFFRAGE
in his speech in New York city the other
night, Judge Pierrepont radical, though
he was Democrat at the time he held the
conversation with Grant, said:
"One day at his house in Washington,
while he was Secretary Of War, / told him
that thought he would make good Demo-
cratic candidate if he was right on the
orestion of negro suffrage. He replied that
he had no wish for the Presidency that he
had now much higher Office than he had
ever expected that General Sherman would
make good President, and that he would
gladly give the half that he was worth to
make Sherman OF any other fit man Presi-
dent; that his feelings and sentiments were
entirely opposed to negro suffrage; but that
he did not wish 10 be restrained by any
pledges from the right to change his opinion
in future if new exigencies convinced him
that he was wrong for, said he, you will
remember that early in the war, when l
was in command of the West, publicly
stated that if the negroes had an insurrec-
ton would hold my army IN check until
il was put down. But long before the war
was over l should have been glad of ne
gro Instruction, and would have moved my
army all the faster. What | want is the
Union-the whole country returned to peace
and submissive to the laws. do not like
universal negro suffrage now, but the freed
men ought to be protected, and if the only
way to protect them in their helpless condi-
ton Is to give then the suffrage, then !
shall be in favor Of letting them vote. l
want the Union restored, and to have the
South come back, obey the laws, and sub
nit as good citizens; and if the future
proves that they will not do it without ne
gro suffrage, then l would give them negro
suffrage" [Applause.]
