country. Their ability to Central any
aud every thing they have ever un-
dertaken - their success, and their
superior judgment, which has never
yet failed them, will not fail them
now.
All honor and success is due to the
pioneers in this matter, Messrs- Mar
tin, Gardner & Co., and to Weldon
Bros. By their indomitable energy,
genuine courtesy. and prompt manner
OF doing business, they have justly
merited the success that now rewards
them. If fully us'ained, they feel
assured that they viii yet place Evans
vile on strong terms of rivalry with
Louisville as tobacco market.
The sale yesterday was fully attend
ed, I'D general and lively interest
manifested. Sales footed up at Messrs.
Martin, Gardner & Co.'S 112 hhds..
and at the Weldon Bros. 90 hhds. We
noted a stiff advance on low grades
over sales of Friday. In good to-
baccos we thought the display much
| finer than ever shown before. Tobacco
was in much better order and sold
strictly according to proper classical
ton. Sales ranged from 81 90 for
trashy Tugs to $16 for good leaf. This
was the largest sale of the season.
The sale by Martin, Gardner & Co. of
112 hhds is the largest break" for
one day made by any house on the
Ohio River. We noticed some of the
best grades of Southern Kentucky
tobacco. Ballard, Livingston, Crit
tenden, Caldwell and Union Counties
were represented. One fine caddy of
Ballard County manufacturing leaf
attracted special attention and created
some spirited and lively competition,
and finally sold at Ice. This tobacco
was raised by f. Campbell, who we
know to be one Of the best growers of
the weed in the State. We hope that
such satisfactory prices will insure
another shipment to this market.
At II O'Clock, the Board of Buyers
were invited by the gentlemanly pro-
prietors of the warehouses to partake
of sumptuOus and substantial lunch
in the Office. The auctioneers quickly
and quietly subsidized; and for the
space of half an hour everything re.
specting tobacco was ignored and for.
gotten In liberal rations and pOtations
of things good to eat and to drink
We noted several new buyers on the
breaks. among them Mr.. Hoffman, Of
New York, and Mr.. q. M. Mocquot
who buys largely for European mar
kets. Also, quite a number of the
Henderson Operators we've in attend
ance. The competition was spirited
and lively, and with the unprecedent
ed sale Of 158 hogsheads. all presenl
felt that it was q big day in the to
bacco interest of Evansville.

Evansville Tobacco Market"

We have been here, for the last two
weeks, in strict attendance ION the
Breaks" and although we must con.
fess to have been among the skeptical
as regards the prospect of Evansville
ever becoming a great tobacco mart,
we now feel fully assured figures won't
lie. Hogsheads weighing 1000 lbs.
are too solid to be taken for mere ap-
partitions. They do come, and keep
coming, by the steamboat load.
Evansville has already this season
established a reputation for fill prices
and for fair dealing. That is draw
ing more and more tobacco from the
old established markets of Louisville,
GAINESVILLE and Paducah, and that
gives her rank among the most i'm
pOTtant markets of the West. Within
"a circumference of one hundred miles
Evansville can reach, by quick and
ready transportation, the gery best
tobacco growing sections of Ken
lucky, Illinois and Indiana. Most OF
the merchants within this area of
country have been and are now pur-
chasing their stocks almost exclusive
ly In this city.
1t is to their interest as we'll IS con
venience to make sales of their tobac-
co here; and it certainly becomes the
interest of every merchant of the
place to add his influence and his
means in sustaining the market.
Right we'll and nobly have the bust
ness men so far responded to this
their general interest, In sustaining
the commission merchant with their
ftien rs a d and influence, and in pay
ing the planter the fullest market
value on his crop. We attended the
sales Yesterday, and were highly graf
fled at the manifest interest taken by
the merchants generally, and in the
very spirited manner in which the
sales were conducted. 1t has been
said and fully circulated by the rival
markets that I've have no tobacco
men among us. This may hare been
true, comparatively, but In looking
around us yesterday, we noticed around
the breaks goodly number of gentle
men who may not have been known
heretofore as tobacco-men, are known,
nevertheless, in this city and through
out the country, as men of substan-
tIal worth, of unlimited means. and as
men OF long and successful business

The sew election Law.

We copy in full this morning the
text Of the new Election Law which
received the signatare of the Cover
nor on Monday last. The change 1t
makes 10 our present election system
are radical, but viii, no doubt, prove
very acceptable TO the people. TIE
holding of three elections a year in
the larger cities has become exceed
ipgly irksome to the people, when the
officers 0 be chosen at those elections
could much more satisfactorily be
elected by single election. Section
y or article Is of the Constitution pro
vides that all officers other than mem
bers OF the General Assembly shall
hold their offices until their successors
are elected and qualified. This clause
gives the present county officers new
lease of power.
The new Election Law, it will be
observed, also changes the township
elections heretofore held on the first
Monday in April of each year to the
second Tuesday Of October, and make
them biennial with the county cleo
tions. This will make the township
officers hold for two years instead of
one, as heretofore, and will prOlong
the terms Of the present incumbents
until October, 1870.
We notice that some of the Demo-
cratic papers are dissatisfied with this
arrangement. They assert that the
effect of the new law is "to remove
still further the responsibility of
officials from the surveillance of
the people, and to make reviews Of
the official acts Of public servants less
frequent" The State Sentinel asserts
that biennial elections and biennial
sessions of the Legislature increase
the power of administrative officers
and their opportunities for corrup-
ton and st4aling, and lessons the
supervision and control of the people
over the acts of their servants" 1t
biennial sessions Of the Legislature
is 4 step ia the direction of imperial
ism, as the Eeaiael asserts, the Demo
cratic party is responsible for inau-
gurating the movement in that direc
ton. The present State Constitution
is rphatically the work Of that party,
and it ought not to complain if county
elections are made to correspond with
the legislative term.
The new Election Law will make
the election of 1870 the most i'm
portant ever held in the State, for by
that time the terms of most of the
county officers will have expired and
an entire new set OF officials will have
to be chosen. Add to this Congress
men, Judicial and Township officers,
aud we may have some idea of the
magnitude Of the prize that will be
eontended for by the rival political
parties.
Should the fifteenth Amendment
become the Law of the Land, by that
time. as is highly probable. the polit-
ical caldron will contain new ingre :
dient that will materially change the
favor Of its contents, and involve the
result Of the contest 10 uncertainty.

p.sgraeernI journalism.

The publication by the New York
Sun of the private correspondence of
JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG, for some years
past Managing Editor of the New
York Tribune. will prove an interest
ing chapter in the history of Metro
politau journalism. 1t gives the I'M
Sophisticated view Of one of the
secrets Of the success of what are
called the large dailies Of the country.
The enormous income returns Of the
editors and proprietors Of these jour
nails have been the astonishment of
the people, but the developments in
the case of Mr.. YOU'VE help to dispel
the mystery. We dare say could the
veil be lifted from other establish
ments, their immense revenues would
be found flowing from a similar
source. Mr.. YOUNG seems to have
been very successful in his levies, and
was only unsuccessful in that he was
found out. Other very wealthy news
paper men may have beaten him in
the latter particular. Hitherto none
have occupied higher position among
American journalists than Mr.. YOUNG.
The Tribune, under his management,
has wonderfully improved in power
and influence. His future was full of
promise. But he could not resist the
temptation to get rich rapidly
temptation whose power is wonder
fully increased by the foolish display
and rivalry existing among the men
OF wealth in New York City.
