the Congressional Convention.


We hope the Republicans will bear
in mind that the Republican Conven-
ton, for the First Congressional Dis
trict, will meet at Princeton, next
Thursday. June 10Th, at one o'clock
P. NJ. The District is composed of
the counties of Posey, Vanderburgh,
Warrick, Spencer, Perry, Gibson,
Pike, Knox and Daviess.
In addition to the nomination of
candidate for Congress. it may be
deemed advisable to nominate candi-
dates for Judge and Prosecuting At
torney for the Third and Fifteenth
judicial Circuits, provided that Mar
tin and Dubois Counties, belonging to
the former, and Crawford, to the lat
ter, are represented on the occasion.
It is desirable that there be large
attendance. The price Of steamboat
fare from above and below is reduced
one fourth. and of railroad fare on
the 4. & G. Railroad one-half.
Princeton is very pleasant place to
visit, and has adequate aceommoda-
tions for visitors. The weather will
probably be pleasant, and the occa-
sion may be made one of enjoyment
and recreation, as well as of duty.
Those who go up from here can
leave either on the early aceommoda-
ton train. or on the mail train, as
they prefer. and return on the mail,
leaving Princeton at z O'Clock. IF
they wish. they can stay till next day,
and return then on the first train.

Editors Journal:
By the minutes Of the City Council.
as published in the JOURNAL. it ap-
pears that bonds Of the city, to the
amount of three hundred thousand
dollars have been ordered to be is
sued, to be used in the construction
of Water Works, and that. although
the custody of all bonds of the city
legally issued belongs by law to the
Council, In this case, the bonds are
placed under the control of a COM
mittee. This is significant, in view Of
the fact that the amount ordered to
be issued and placed in the custody
and control of the committee, is nearly
double that Of the first estimate of the
cost of the works, and considerably
in excess of any estimate heretofore
made. 1t is significant. also, In view
of the other fact that this committee
is composed mainly of the same per-
sons who constitute that other com
mittee who sold some twenty odd
thousand dollars of city bonds at
seventy FIVE cents on the dollar. sfter
il was known that they were worth,
and were selling for, eighty FIVE cents
On the dollar.
But the principal object cf this
communication, is to inquire whether
it is the purpose of the Council OF
the committee to cause the works tc
be constructed, and paid for out o.
