MANIFESTATIONS or HUMANITY. -z
The New Albany Ledger Of Friday
gives a portraiture Of the humanity
that abounds at that growing city. A
poor negro, suffering with small pox,
was turned out of his boarding house,
and wandered about the city for day
and a night, covering the upper part
of his body and head with an old col
fee sack, and finally took shelter IN
an old uooecupied building in the
creek bottom, which bad no windows
NO fire. and only a part Of a floor,
where he remliued for two days, his
cries and meanings being heard bat
not needed. At length a humane
lady hearing Of the case, attempted to
render some relief. The Led er did
not know whether the poor wretch
vas dead or alive on Friday. Have
they no Township Trustees in New
Albany?
The Vineannes GlzeHe notices a
like manifestation of humanity in that
vicinity - only the subjects were
white people. 1t says:
a terrible cas- of restitution aud
suffering occurred last week. within
one mile of this city. A family who
had removed to this county, were Ia
ken sick the man and his wife were
unable to rise or assist each other
and the man died without care or at
tention, and when some neighbors
went to the house they found the man
dead and the woman nearly so.
We are told the family referred to
moved from this city, and have rela
tives here in comfortable circum-
stances, who have been appealed to for
all, but with what success is not
known.

THE LECTURE To NIGHT. - We
hope 40 one will forget the Lecture
Of Mr. Henry Vincent, the great
English lecturer, at the Opera House
this evening, under the auspices of
the Evansville Library Association.
The Directors have secured MIR. Vim
cent for two of his lectures, and all
who attend will acquire a knowledge
that will be Of some practical benefit
to them. Mr.. Vincent will discourse
on a theme in which a great many are
interested-on the English Statesmen
of the Present Day-of men with
whom he has associated in the field
of politics. No person can fail to be
interested, and we hope to see the
Opera House crowded. The proceeds
of the Lectures will be devoted to
the Library, aud every friend Of that
excellent institution should make it
a point to be present. The price of
admission is only fifty cents.

RECORDERS CoURT.-The City Re-
corder was very busy. yesterday, set
ting up the many fights and DRINKS
that had occurred on Saturday night.
The first namesson the mourners'
roll were Mamie Williams, Mamie
Reed, and Kate Darnell, members
of the den1i-monde, who had been
arrested for being disorderly and
quarrelsome, with a small modicum
Of drunk" They were each fined
SO so, which was paid by the two
first named, but Kate Darnell, not
having the wherewithal to balance
accounts, was remanded to the Lock
up.
The next IN order was Lon. Wat
son, who was tried on three affidavits-
two for assault and battery, and one
for being drunk. He was fined S25
in the three cases.
Jim Mulligan was next, on the
charge of being drunk and disorderly,
and was taxed 81 80, which he paid.
But we fear Mulligan IS incorrigible,
as he was back again in the Lookup
within three hours.
John McCarty was drunk, and was
fined So 10. Had no money, and was
sent to the rear.
Two young gentlemen, who have
v,o+ 6rrrra6 in DoIiea o5roInS boforo

request, were charged s. 60 each for
being drunks which they paid.
Harry Porter was charged with be-

A VERY C0NTEMPTIBLE Tack
We are credibly informed that certain
vile tools of the Democracy hired a
number of negro children to 60 to one
of the public schools yesterday, to
claim admission to the school. A
moro infamous exhibition of partisan
malice could not be imagined, and the
authors, if known, should be held up
10 public scorn. The Democracy, by
such acts, confess themselves driven
to desperation.

REPUBLICAN RALLY IN THE SIXTH
WARD.-Au enthusiastic Republican
meeting was held in the Sixth Ward
last night, at John Scantlin's tin
shop. Il was the largest meeting
ever held ia that Ward. Prof Buck 5
C)Tnet Bind was in attendance, and
played some of their choicest selec-
tons. James Swanson Sr., was
chosen Chairman, and Dr. IT. NJ.
Harvey appointed Secretary. Major
Madison, being present, was called
upon for a speech. and responded in
his iuimitable manner, contrasting
the promises made by the present
Democratic administration with their
performance Of the same. After
showing up the facts and figures, and
exposing the corruptions Of the DEM
ocratic administration, he closed with
a glowing eulogy upon the candidates
on the Republican ticket. Short and
pointed speeches were also made by
Colonel j. f. Grill, John Hodson,
candidate for Councilman, and Syl-
vester Deeds, after which the meet
ing adjourned, to meet next Satur-
day night at the same place, to

A SORRY JoKE.-The teachers ana
children of the Ninth Street School
were very much annoyed yesterday
morning by the silly report that
negro children were to be admitted
into the Public Schools. Sueh Jokes
upon the children in the schools are
not very funny, when they serve TO in
terrupt the schools in any way. There
IS no such law, nor is there the slight
est probability that any such will no
passed, nor would such change meet
with the appreciation of the adthori.
ties connected with the schools. Such
silly sells upon children reflect ne
credit upon their authors. Thos,
parents who have been sold by sucl
stuff had better learn to put less con
fdence In children s talk.

Nc LoIIOWIng DIE Were aIIoWcd:

The committee appointed by the
special meeting held last Thursday
evening. to whom was referred the
bids for hOwldering or grading Main
and Sycamore Streets, reported thai
the bid Of Jacob S. Lowry, for bowl
dering Main Street was the lowest
and the sid Of Sebastian Kuhn, ior
graveling Sycamore Street, was the
lowest, end recommended that the
contract be awarded to them.
Mr.. Reitz said that Mr. Kuhn OBJ
jected to the contract being given to
Mr.. Lowry, as he did not think he
was the lowest bidder, and said there
seemed to be mistake as I'd the nun
Der Of square yards of work to be
done Mr. Reitz said that the City
Surveyor had made an estimate on
| the work, and said there was over
1000 yards, but Mr.. Kuhn had agreed
to take it at 1900 yards, thereby max
ing his bid some two or three hundred
dollars lower than Mr.. Lowry's.
Mr.. Kuhn was present, and said
that the Surveyor did not know how
many yards there were in the work
proposed to be done, and that he only
guessed at il.
Mr. Saunders replied that a proper
measurement would show nearer ), 00C
than 3 1000 yards.
Mr.. Lowry w3s also present and
stated to the Council that, as Mr.
Kuhn had been allowed to make q
second bid, he also had the same
privilege, aud said that he had an
other proposition to make, and that
was, that be would Go the work foI
$500 less than Mr. Kuhu's bid.
Mr.. Reitz did not believe IN doing
this way He wanted to do no in
justice to any one, and suggested that
IL would be coed idea to put the job
up at auction and sell 1t to the lowest
bidder.
Considerable discussion ensued, but
a motion was finally made that the
matter be laid over for a special meet
ing next Thursday night, and that the
City Surveyor take al actual meas
urement of the same In the mean
time, and submit his report to the
Council on tha1 evening, which mo-
ton prevailed.
o. motion, the Council agreed to
receive new bids for the work on
both streets.
On motion, ordered that w. 4.
Corwiae be refunded amount paid for
erroneous taxation.
Mr.. Willard Carpenter appeared
before the Council. and stated that
he had made an assignment Of all his
personal property, in 1861, while alb
sent ia Greeu County, and during
that time had been assessed on S45, 900
personal property, when he had none.
He asked chat his papers be referred
to the Committee on Erroneous
Taxes, as he thought the assessment
should be expuuged from the tax
duplicate, as it stood delinquent
against him.
The matter was so referred.
| was ordered that the City Col
lect0r be instructed to appoint Deputy
COLLECTORS TO receive taxes at the vari-
Gus election precincts, on election day.
Ga motion, the City Surveyor was
ordered TO establish grade on

and now says he, bring in your
friends sometimes, and take a drink

The WAY IT GoEs.-It will be
seen, by reference to the Council
proceedings, that the sum Of nine
hundred and ttoe7oe dollars and SERENITY
foe cents was allowed for one week 5
work on the streets. Think of that,
We tax payers, and see where the
money goes tel Nearly a thousand
dollars Ia one week. One hundred
and thirty three men were engaged
during the week, and bill is sent in
for the hard working tax payer TO
foot. 1t rained nearly half OF last
week, but that don't seem to make
any difference. The true reason OF
so many being at work, is to secure
their votes at the next election. That
is the dodge, and if the hard listed
poor laboring Taxpayer would rem
edy this, let him repudiate the pres
ent corrupt City Administration
Don't elect such men as Van Ripper,
who never done a hard days work
but elect men who can appreciate the
wants of rhe poor man.
