Annual Report of the Board of Trade
Of the city of Evansville, for 1868,
embracing a sketch of the Schools,
Churches, &C., and giving a large
amount of information such SIS can
be obtained nowhere else. 1t shows,
also, to what extent its people have
enlarged their business facilities and
the energy displayed in all its work
ing to merit a large share of the trade
of the country within It's neighbor-
hood. We have been visiting Evans
vile for the last ten years regularly.
and must say that within that time
many are the changes p~erceivable to
eye in its favor, and should it con
tinue in well doing for the anne mum

one amongst the first cities in the
Union, being situated as it is, and
having the region it possesses to give
it growth and strength.
The report is compiled by the Ev

care, and is worthy the attention anC

Off With Their Heads.

The following special dispatch to
the Cincinnati Gazette shows how
General GRANT inaugurates the work
of reform:
The President to-day fully revoked
the pardous which had been issued
for jacob and Moses Dupuy by his
predecessor, on Wednesday last, and
also ordered the revocation of the one
issued on the same day for Richard
G. Euright. now in the Albany peni-
Tertiary. AL three of these persons
are members of the whisky ring.
While his hand was in, he directed
the immediate and peremptory dis
missal of Buckley from the Revenue
Bureau, and the necessary papers
we're made out and issued as soon as
possible. He further directed the
revocation of all orders that Evarts
and Johnson had issued, staying pro-
ceedings in Fullerton's case, and that
individual will be brought to trial IS
soon as the court can reach his case.
President Grant, on Saturday last,
removed all the Union Pacific Rail-
TEoad commissioners except Williams.
FRANK Blalr and Snow, of the LnteEt-
ge"GeF, are among those removed. and
an HA.0ongressman of Iowa is under
stood 10 be a of the new appointees.

TURN HIM CURVE regret to
learn that the nice young gentlemen,
proprietors Of the Courier, whose
hodge podge editorials are pretty gen
orally made up by outsiders-owing
to the impecuniosity of the establish
ment and its inability to employ an
ediior-are dissatisfied with that
wheel-horsc of Democracy. Council
man JONES, and are proposing to
crowd him cut of the way with Mr..
VAN RIPPER. With this intent in
view, they have been circulating a
paper calling upon the latter gentle
man to serve as Councilman of a Ward
IN which he has no peculiar interest,
and OF which he is an actual resident
only a portion Of the year. We rather
like this arrangement. 1t shows how
prompt the party is to reward services
such as Councilman JONES have rem.
dered. 1t also shows that it has but
little faith in re-eleeting the gentle
men who are, with Mayor WALKpp
responsible for last years maladmin.
istration Of the affairs of the cltv
The Third Ward is largely made nm
of merchants and responsible bust
ness men, and if they understand
their true interests. as we believe they
do, they will elect as Councilman
some such man as PETER SEMoNIN.
whose interests are identical with the
growth and prosperity of the Ward.

THE whining INDUCED 10 by the
Democratic papers because Governor
BAKER has ordered an extra election
on the 23d Of March, accords poorly
with the Boosting Of the Secessionists
that they assumed all the responsible
ity of their actions. Inasmuch as
these gentlemen have already an
nounced theirintention to resign again
as soon as they take their seats, and
draw their pay, and we are to have
special elections all this year and next.
perhaps Governor BAKER thought
the sooner the expensive farce was
commenced the better. The CouaieJ
propounds the following query:
Viii the JOURNAL please explain
to the people why Governor Baker
appointed the election for Represent
atives in the Legislature to take place
on the 23d of this month? 1t pro-
fesses to have an amazing sympathy
for taxpayers; let it give the tax
payers a reason for this unnecessary
additional expense. Twelve days Ia
ter than the 23d would have saved the
people a considerable amount OF
money Why did Governor Baker
do SOP"
We are not authorized to answer
for Governor BAKER, but one reason
why he should order the election al
an early day is so patent that we may
mention it.
The term which the appropriations
of the last Legislature were made to
cover expires in March. After that
time the Governor mas no money with
which to sustain the charitable insti-
buttons Of the State, or to apply in
keeping upthe various courts. There
fore, he was compelled to call the
extra session at the earliest practical
moment, and to do so was equally
compelled to order an extra election.
With the election as early as March
23d, it will DC the latter part of April
before the Legislature can be con-
vened, because some time must elapse
DSlOIG tue 4Ct III uS Cdu OC pI ODCIly
certified to the Secretary of State
This fact alone, we presume, infu-
enced the Governor IL fixing the day
for the special election. He has to
have money to keep up the State insti-
tutions, aud the only legal way to get
it was blocked up by the Indiana
sec~essionists.
We add, in this connection, that the
counties represented by Republican
Legislators will not be put to any ex
ira expense for a special election.
Only those counties which enjoy the
luxury Of being represented by seces-
sionists will be taxed for a special
election. But, after all, who cares for
expenses. Is not that a matter only
worthy the consideration of ''cowardly
menials."

THE precedent established by the
seeding Democrats OF the Indiana
Legislature, if endorsed by the people,
will prove exceedingly dangerous. L
is no more or less than asserting that
a minority Of the State Legislature
has the right to dictate the number
and character of the laws that shall
be enacted. 1t is the re-establisl :
ment in our State of the principle
which the people thought they had
settled by a four years terrible war.
Let all the seeding members be re
elected, and the people virtually de
clare that a minority has the right
and ought to exercise it, to defeat any
legislation that it regards as preJudI-
ciaI to its interests. The same spirit
adopted by members Of Congress,
would break up the Government and
plunge us into Mexican anarchy. This
is a grave matter, and the people will
do well to consider it calmly and dis
passionately.

THE Philadelphia Press of Satur-

the new Secretary of the Navy, is the
President of the magnificent loyal
Union League of Philadelphia, and
one of the old-established firm of
MoKEAN, BoRIE & Co, long associ-
ated with the East India trade. An
original Old Line Wing, he became a
Republican in the natural course of
things, and he and his business part
ners have been among the freest vol
untary contributors to the great Union
cause during the rebellion. Perhaps
no man is more surprised than Mr.
BORIE at this appointment. Chosen
like Mr.. STEWART, frem a heretofore
neglected class, we do not doubt thai
he will make an excellent Cabine

WE are indebted to the Evansville
Journal Company for a copy of the
Annual Report of the Board of
Trade of Evansville for the year 1868.
Its typographical appearance is fully
up to that high standard which char
acterizes the publications of the Jour
nal Company, and for which it is de-
servedly celebrated. The contents of
the work evince a careful compilation
of statistics regarding the business
transacted in the city, embracing sales
Of merchandise, exports and imports
of grain, manufactures. and all that
pertains to the general prosperity of
the city. In addition to this, the
volume contains i%nterestinE sketches
of the public schools, churches,
benevolent institutions, musical So
c%ieties, etc, besides a large amount
of valuable information on various
other subjects connected with the
city. The work is in every respect
highly creditable to the city and to
the publishers.-Neao Harmony Reg

thirty-two large pages-twenty devot-

twelve devoted entirely to songs, with
piano accomplishments. The number
before us contains eleven pieces of
instrumental music, and ten songs,
with piano ac,ompaniments-that is

TIE "Vincenncs Varieties" are
quite active in laying the wires to gain
possession Of the Democratic party,
and through it retain control of the
city. They have already made ar
rangem9uts to supplant the old party
leaders by the fedglings, conspicuous
among whom are the Courier propri-
etors. The young larks are very free
to speak their minds as to the merits
of the veterans. The necessities OF
the party, they say, demand that the
old leaders shall be turned loose, a
scape goats, to carry the sins of the
party. They may flee to the wilder
ness, if they like, while the young
calves grow fat upon the rich public
pasture. Whoever objects to this ar
rangement, on the ground that a we'll
FL ed swarm is not so ravenous as q
fresh one, lethim be set down with the
admonition that he is a cowardly
menial," whose grumbling should be
disregarded.
