LETTER FROM THE SPRINGS.

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, July 29.
As quite a number Of Evans
vile visitors are now in attend
ance at the Springs, a few notes
may not be uninteresting to your
readers. The weather thus far
has not been as favorable as might
have been anticipated. owing to the
abundance Of rain and the cool nights
and the absence of any long term of
heated weather in the cities, and
vet the lumber of visitors the
pasttwo or three weeks has been as
large as any past season. just now
the Hotel is full. with the announce
ment of quite a number on the way,
which will make it comfortably
crowded. But the proprietors have
furnished a row of pleasant cottages,
and will doubtless be able to accom-
modate all who cone.
There is no question among all
visitors as to the medicinal virtues of
the several Springs. There are now
present gentlemen who have visited
all the celebrated watering places in
this country, and they pronounce
these waters superior to any and all
others. Distinguished Germans. VINO
have been here, even testify to their
superiority, for many classes of dis
eases, to the most noted of the Eu-
ropean Springs.
It will be a matter of interest to
those who are looking for a place to
spend a few weeks during the hot
days Of August, and especially to such
as have been here before, to be as
sured that the tables, the present sea-
son. are better provided than in past
seasons, and that considerable i'm
preyement has been made in the
rooms, bowling alleys, &C., and that
the proprietors are better prepared
than ever before to make their guests
comfortable, and they contemplate
further improvements in the future.
Among a number of Evansville
citizens now here are His Honor
Judge Willard, our affable City Clerk,
McGrif, George Wolfin, Messrs.
Aiken, Hibbard, Feldman, Miller
and others. and all enjoying them
selves to the very best advantage.
More additions from the city are
expected tonight and tomorrow

Opinion of Attorney General VIII.
Hanson.

The following is the opinion Of the
Attorney General in regard to the act
providing for the education Of col
ored children:
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE, I
Indianapolis, July 26, '69.
3. G. Hobbs, Esq, Superintendent Of Pub
lie instruction;
DEAR SIR; I am IN receipt of your
note enclosing that of Mr.. Elder, on
behalf of the Board of Trustees of
the city Of Indianapolis, asking my
opinion on certain questions arising
under the act providing for the edU-
cation of colored children.
The point presented is whether
colored children can be included in
the enumeration of the children of
the respective school districts, town
ships, towns and cities of this State
for school purposes for the present
school term, or whether their organ
ization into such schools must be
postponed for the present, or until
their proportion of the tax can be
assessed and collected.
The act to render taxation for com
mon school purposes uniform. and to
provide for the education OF the col
ore1 children of the Sta'e, became a
law on the thirteenth day Of May,
1869, which provides that all child
ren of the proper age, without regard
to color, shall hereafter he included
In the enumeration of the children of
the respective districts"
The law further provides hat all
laws relating to school matters not In
consistent with its provisions shall
be deemed applicable to colored
schools" "
1t then becomes the duty of the re-
speetive school districts to include
colored children, in seperatc lists, In
the enumeration taken between July
and September, 1869
So far as the question presents itself
in a legal form, it is but the common
occurrence of new scholars enterine
the schools each year. And the fnan
cial question must adapt itself to the
enumeration of the actual number O
children legally entitled to enter th,
school.
To illustrate: Suppose the appor
tionment of the school remains a
made upon actual enumeration, an
afterwards from immigration into
The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1869-07-31
WE find the following paragraph in

WE find the following paragraph in
the Courier of yesterday;
The Evansville JOURNAL published
yesterday, a labOred article on the
subject of the election, to take place
August the 9Th, to aid the Evans
Vile, Carmi & Paducah Railroad.
After a careful perusal of the article
we do not know whether it was
written In the interest of the road or
against It; but We had formed a con-
clusion previously, that the journal
was friendly to the enterprise.
In the JOURNAL article, to which
the Courier refers, will be found the
following paragraph:
It seems to us that the all absorb
ing necessity Of the road swallows up
a multitude Of objections as to details
of which, with others, we are In
possession of a large number-dRd
that the true Interests Of the city I0iU
be best consulted by noting the aid to
the road asked for, under the pledge,
on the part Of the Directors, that the
friends Of the enterprise shall be fully
consulted In fixing the line Of the
road, and deciding the manner Of its
construction.
Now, we respectfully submit, that
we are not responsible for the feeble
ness Of the intelligence which cannot
comprehend whether the article was
written in the interest of the road or
against it." The editorial in the
JOURNAL was designed to state the
situation precisely as it is; to reeog-
nize the objections that have been and
are being urged-and no where strong
or than through the columns OF the
Courier-against the road. But, not
withstanding the objections, we urged
that the donation ought to be made.
The Courier rushes to the defense
Of Messrs. HILL and WELBoRN be-
fore they are attacked, either overtly
or covcrtly. There is nothing in the
JOURNAL article that reflects upon
their intelligence or their age. Nor
did we make any discrimination be
tween them and the Board of Direct
ors, The CoUrier's championship, we
have no doubt, was unsolicited, for in
its zeal it suggests objections to those
officers which have had no place in
the JOURNAL.

PaFtit ulars Of Bloody Riot on the
Mississippi.

CHICAGO, July 30.-The following
are the particulars of the bloody riot
which occurred on board the steamer
Dubuque, on the Mississippi River.
One hundred and fifty raftsmen came
aboard the boat at Davenport, and the
clerk ordered two Of the negro deck
hands to stand guard at the gangway
aud not let any one pass without his
permission. One of the raftsmen tried
to pass this guard and make his way
to the cabin, when the deckhands Or
dered him back until his ticket was
examined by the clerk. He not liking
this, commenced pitching into the
deckhands, who got the best of him.
when the raftsmen. TO the number of
over 100, came to his rescue, stabbing
and beating the two deckhands till
about dead and then throwing them
into the river. They then made
an assault on the rest of the deck
crew, succeeding IN killing three more
Of them and throwing their bodies
into the river. One of the raftsmen
was also killed In the melee, making
six 10 all killed. As soon as Hamp-
ton, Mo-, was reached Capt Rhodes
landed the boat, when the raftsmen
drove the deck crew ashore, iniuring
several of them with stones. As
soon as this was over they went
aboard the boat and ordered the
Captain to proceed up the river or
they would burn his boat. He being
In their power, and fearing that they
would carry their threats into eKecu-
ton, headed the boat up stream, and
In the meantime telegraphed to the
Sheriff of Rock Island, who char
tered an extra train and left with a
large force of men well armed. They
overlook the boat at Clinton, and i'm
took possession of her and
started for Rock Island.
On their arrival at Rock Island,
there were over 5000 on the river
bank, together with the crew, who
had been driven off the boat, and with |
their assistance succeeded in recog-
niZing AZ of the men, who were taken
to Jail under a strong guard. A large
police force is posted about the jail, |
and DO further trouble is expected. |
Rock Island is full of raftsmen who
came ashore, but an extra force of
policemen has been stationed about |
the city, and it is thought all will be
quiet for the night.
