The Religious Interest.

The interest In the various churches
of the city continues to increase. Yes

ing was very largely attended, and the
people did not dispense until nearly
IL o'clock.
The union meeting, under the d.
rection of the Rev. Mr.. Hammond, at
Wesley Chapel. last evening, was
again largely attended. Fully two
hundred children aud young women
and men arose in the congregation to
ask for prayers, or to publicly testify
that they had been converted during
the past week. In no preceding meet
ing of this series have we noticed so
many persons rise who were beyond
childhood. The means used are mani

- oorntaa notwithstanding the IN |
tention Of each elector was as plainly
understood as If each rejected ticket
nod contained the words Against
tho Railroad Appropriation, and
hence the majority in favor OF the ap-
preparation acdSHOt seventy five votes,
nor sixty votes.
Large sums of money were raised
and freely expended by the friends OF
the enterprise. who commenced an
active canvass Of the entire county,
several weeks before the election took
TIace and which was continued until
the last vote was polled. They sent
ont their best speakers, who addressed
the people in every township IN the
county. in favor of the special tax,
and on the day of the election, In the
midst of a cold, incessant rain, that
kept many from the polls, they en-
ployed all manner of eonveyances to
bring every voter to the polls who
could be induced to vote for the tax,
iacluding several loads of paupeTs
from the Poor House! The eonclu-
sion is irresistible that the friends of
the enterprise polled comparatively
their entire strength, and that full
and fair vote of the county would
show o large majority against them.
The only speeches made against the
proposition were made in the Town
ships Of Reeve, Barr, Van Buren,,
Madison and Bayard, and they gave
an aggregate majority of 815 votes
against the appropriation. Had
speeches been made against the ap-
preparation In all the townships, the
majority would have been increased
in proDortion.' The election in this
county does not indicate hostility
against Evansville. On the contrary
I am convinced that If a majority 0.
the votes of the people can be secured
in favor of an appropriation IN aid o
any road, at fair election, it will be
some road that will connect Us witt
! your city.
That electors might be informedl o
the amount proposed to be raised b.
taxation in aid of q railroad, judge o
their ability to pay il, and vote IN
: derstandingly, the statute wisely re
| duires that the Auditor shall Civ
notice that an election will be held t
take the votes of the electors upo
: the proposition, ito an amount to b
] specified IN such notice." yet til
i notice of our recent election strangel
failed to disclose the amount to b
appropriated.
Both the legality of the eleetiO
q and the constitutionality Of the la
will probably be tested, and if sui
tanned by our courts, will enable
minority to fasten upon an und0ubte

Rsadr for the Issue.

In the JOURNAL Of Wednesday we
propounded the following question to
the Courier:
Are you in favor Of repeating all
laws which recognize, and are de-
signed to perpetuate, Sunday as q
DISTINCT DAY for religious OBJ
servance and rest, thereby placing it
on level with the other six days of
the week.
This question the Courier Of yes
terday answers squarely in the affirm
ative. It says: " No special stat
ates should Be made :in favor of SIM
day more than any other day." e4t
We have already proven that the
Democratic party Of the State.
through their Representatives in the
State Legislature, squsrely endorsed
the Sunday Liquor Law, which has
been the occasion of the present con-
troversy. Therefore, when the
Courier speaks it does not speak for
its party. 1t may be, however. that
the party is ready for new depart
Ryen with the editor Of thu the aGgPpat tt5iffss
the position of that paper in favor of
the repeal Of all laws recognizing
Sunday as q peculiar day. IF so, we
are ready for the issue. Let the
Curriers' party pass resolutions, at its
City, County and State Conventions, in
favor of the abrogation of all Sunday
laws. We dare the candidates Of
that party to make that the issue at
the next city and county elections.
We dare the Democratic State Con-
vention to Epass a resolution of that
character. We do not believe that
the editor Of the Courier will so much
as dare TO present a resolution Of that
character for the consideration of the
Convention.
AS we have already asserted, the
JOURNAL recognizes the laws for the
preservation of quiet and rest on Sun
day as being founded in wisdom and
worthy of preservation, and will de-
fend them to the last extremity. We
are ready for the contest at any time
the opponents of the laws may see
proper TO begin the battle. The Con-
rier has selected the next city and
county elections as the appropriate
time. Very we'll. We are ready. Let
Its candidates be nominated on that
issue. Old party lines MAJ go under
doubtless within the struggle, but
no matter. We do not believe that
Evansville is ready to assume the in
famous distinction Of being the only
city in this Christian land which re-
pudiates the Christian Sabbath. II
this odious notoriety is to be ours, il

as any other time.

The North ana South Railroad In
DaViess County.

Editors Journal:
On Tuesday, the Both November,
an election was held In this (Daviess)
county upon the subject Of levying a
special tax of two per cent. on the
valuation Of all the real and personal
property in the county, liable % taxa
ton, as donation to aid in the con-
struetion Of the so called North and
south Railroad to some point on the
Ohio River aboYo Evansville. The
newspapers of our city affect to be
very exultant oyer the result, when in
truth and IN fact the election disoloses
the truth thata largo majority Of the
legal voters and Taxpayers of the
county are opposed to the enormous
increase OF taxation propesed as
donation to an uncertain ana doubtful
enterprise, and those in favor Of the
speculation are evidently greatly
chagrined at the result.
The Gazette Of the 4th claims a ma.

the additional tax, and you may read

which the vote of that county was
carried for the donation to the North

it carefully, and it seems to US
the principle trouble was, that the
opponents Of that enterprise we're not

nothing in the fact that there was nor

consolation. If the judges of the
precincts in Veale and Washington
Townships threw out tickets which
ought to have been counted, that
would be legitimate reason for con-
testing the legality of the election.
But our correspondent does not state
that enough tickets were thrown out,
because of inFormality, to materially
change the result.
We think the fears OF our cores
pondent that, By the vote, the county
will be taxed beyond the ability Of it,
people to pay are not well founded
Our honest conviction is that the
North and South Road will never d.
enough work in the county to entitl'
it the donation, unless the business
men Of Washington apply the none!

ever this may be. our correspondent
complaiuings look to US very muc
