The Grown Prince on PrusaIa.

Mr.. King. the war correspondent of
the Boston Journal. several of whose
interesting letters we have already
published, gives a graphic description
of his visit to the headquarters of
Prince Frederick William, Just pre-
ceding his invasion of France and the
battle Of Weissenburg. We copy
his description as follows:

US. From the nights of Heidelberg.

saw at glance that the elder and

STA, coming to his command. So we
were at headquarters, and the field"
was evidently close at hand.
The Grown Prince is a handsome
qulet-taced gentleman, past his first
youth, full of military ardor and
knowledge, and is quite conscious of
the tremendous task devolying upon
him as commander of the Southern
army. His stake, too, is the largest
in Prussia, for he plays to win or lose
throne, and a rule over a united
German people. Nothing could be

We have heard some few ;partisans

and cannot commit blunde- or do a
Wrong-assert that the excess in
the valuation of the Real Estate will
work no hardship for said excess in
the appraisement will be more than
equalized by reduction in the rate
of taxation. Indeed it seems to be the
intention ef the present Coun oil to
make good showing for the sale of
bonds by swelling the appraisement
Of real estate, and at the same time
reducing the per cent. of taxation.
Succeeding in this design they will say
to dealers in bonds: Evansville
is a growing and prosperous city. In
one year its taxables have increased
from $18.000,0OO to 24,O0O, 900. At
the same time the rate Of taxation has
decreased from one and one fifth per
cent. 10 one per cent. Thus, while our
property is rapidly enhancing in value,
the rate Of taxation is steadily declin-
log. Our bonds. therefore, are among
the very best in the market for per
manent investment. because they can
Rot do otherwise than steadily in
crease in value" This theory looks
plausible enough, but, practically, is
unjust and vicious in the extreme.
We desire to direct attention to some
of its defects.

The Camnaign InnNnfahelI.

1t is three weeks to-day since King
William left Berlin to head his
troops. In that time the Prussians
have had one unbroken succession of
victories, telegraphic and other, and
by the aid of these triumphs have
progressed into France for some fifty
miles from the border. The progress,
further, has been made prior to the
18th instant, since which date there
has been constant lighting, and even
more than the usual number of tele-
graphic victories, with no known pro-
gress for the Prussians at all. Now,
if progression be the Prussian plan OF
ca npaign, and last weeks hammering
at Bazaine has resulted in no progress
sion, it is evident that the substantial
victory In all this desperate fighting
is not with the Prussians, but with
Bazaine. While he remains on the line
chosen by him between Metz and Yer
dun, no force can march upon Paris
without exposing its flank to his as

have been desperately seeking to break

still held-held as a matter of course
with heavy losses; but heads have
been broken on the Prussian side, too,
and there is no reason to suppose but
that with losses anything like equal
Bazaine is as good to hold as his op-
ponents are to assail his line another
week. Put into a nutshell, the cam
paign since the 10Th inst. is, that the
Prussians have been seeking to pass,
BY breaking Bazaine's line, and as
they have not passed. that line is still
intact.

GnnandnrIng Honey.

The allowance, by the City Council,
of one hundred and fifty dollars to
Mcssrs. Bippus and Mann, was the
grossest misapplication of the public
funds to reward party favorites. The
purpose for which they were employed
was discreditable. the manner
in which they attempted to mis-
represent the accounts of an honest
officer most shameful, and their pay
ment excessive and an outrage upon
the tax payers. It is not surprising
that the value of real estate has to be
increased fifty per cent. when such
contemplate jobs have to be provided
for. Mr.. Greek had settled with the
proper authorities, and his accounts
declared to be ell right. But, in or
der to throw discredit upon the for
'mer Council. Bippus and Mann
were employed to nose over that set
Element and see if they could not
smell something out of which little
party capital might be manufactured.
These amiahle and honest young gen.
tlemen, understanding the wishes of
their employers, reported a defalca-
ton in Mr.. Greeks accounts,
amounting to some hundreds
of dollars. Mr.. Greek met their
report by demonstrating that they
were either asses or dishonest,
and that, by their own showing, the
city was actually indebted to him. To
this reply. the Smelling Committee
attempted a reioinder-weak and con-
temptibIe. The whole matter was
then referred to a Committee of the
Council, who, after looking into it,
threw the report of Bippus and
Mann aside, as furnishing no
evidence whatever against Mr..
Greek or the correctness of
his settlement with the city. So, at
least, we are informed by a member of
the committee. Yet. for this mean
attempt, by mean instrumentalities, to
iDjure the reputation of Republican
official, and the Republican Council
with whom he settled, the taxpayers
are compelled to fork over" one hun
bred and fifty dollars.
BY taking notice to expenditures of
this character. the people will be bet
ter able to understand the necessity
of adding from twenty-five to fifty per
cent. to their taxes.

A sRoRT article from the New York
World, which We print this morning,
shows very conclusively with which
side, in the Franco Prussian war, are
the sympathies and hopes of the
great organ Of the Democratic party.
Any one who will read our daily dis
patches, and carefully observe the
special dispatches to that paper, can
not resist the conclusion that the de-
feat of the German armies, and the
desolation of their country, is the
wish nearest the heart Of the Demo
cratic World. The paper, it is hardly
necessary to add, only reflects the
feelings of the great mass of its party.

BASE BALL.-The national game

State. The following from the Indi-

increasing interest in the game, at the

The spirit that has been awakened

best club in the United States. This
is no idle boast or mere chimera. The

to an arrangement of this sort. Then
there is no doubt but that if it is car

benefit to indianapolis. The Red
