The Erie Railway Company have
lust put on their line two handsome
sleeping coaches. for the through
trains from New York to Cleveland,
Cincinnati, and the West, named re-
spectiVely the Evening Star" and
Morning Star"
They are furnished inside in the
most elegant style. Seats are most
superbly upholstered, the floors are
covered with carpets of the finest
Brussels, the woodwork is of polished
black walnut, and carved or gilded In
an artistic manner.
Windows Of plate glass, With cut
patters, and state-roOms for ladies.
with new and approved sleeping
bertbs. make up a complete Palace
Car of the most luxurious outfit. 1t
has been our privilege to travel many
thousand miles in DraWiDg-room
Cars, upon all the principal railroads
of the country, and we have been
amazed at the great advance made In
the Improvement of sleeping coaches
everywhere, but are free to admit that
this new line is far in advance Of sll
others in comfort, elegance, and in
terror finish. Nothing can be more
enjoyable than a ride Of 500 or 1000
miles In one Of these easy-moving
coaches. where one really feels as
much at ease as in his drawing room
at heme.
These coaches cost about $25, 900
apiece. and the Company expect to
place twenty-five more of the same
pattern on all their trains; thus max
ing their road as celebrated for su-
perior accommodations to travellers as
they have always been in liberality
and readiness TO adopt public con-
veniences to benefit their patrons.
These cars are now heated by steam
and lighted by gas. and nothing seems
to have been overlooked to make the
outfit complete.--N Y. Independent.

which secret sessions may ba neees-
aary and proper. but they Are exceed
ingly rare. Our impression is that
the business transacted hyN the Coun-
oil in secret sessions in the past has
not as a general thing resulted either
to the honor or advantage Of the city.
Still more are we suspicious of that
business which is 50 delicate that il
viii not be proper to bring it before
the Council until it has been first
manipulated BY or strained through q
partisan or clique committee. We have
observed that when a very mean job
is to be crowded through legislative
body, the frst aim Of the eonspirators
is to get it into the hands Of the right
kind of men, as a committee. This
accomplished, they regard their VIC
tory as more than half secured. Job
after job, fairly dripping with official
corruption, is thus smuggled through
Couacils, Legislatures and Congress-
which, if submitted 60 either Of those
bodies on its own merits. would have
been ANONYMOUSLY and unceremoni-
ously kicked out, without division
1t is high time this policy was
changed, aud we are gratifed to know
that the Council had The good sense

Mr.. Van Riper's proposition to sus-
tain the Hulrs Hill Committee in
awarding a contract without first sub.
mitting it for the approval or rejection
Of the Council. We trust this may
prove premonitory of willingness to
shake off clique management.

The Onnrlar RackslIaes.

reading the Courier of Sunday, to
learn that il had broken its good reso-
lutions Of Saturday, for which we
Complimented it Monday. It prom
ised on Saturday to cease its in
fernal abuse of men who were labor
ing to build up Evansville. but on
Sunday It's promise is broken, and it
abuses William Heilman as in
fernally as it knows how. By refer
ence to the Council proceedings,
however, which appears in the same
paper, we learn that the Council
again decided against its Committee,
and in favor Of giving out the con-
tract to the lowest bidder. We also
learn that By Mr.. Heilman's watch
falness, two cents and a half per Gu
bic yare were saved to the city. For
this zeal in looking after the interests
Of the tax payers. the Courier heaps
its internal abuse upon Mr.. He'll
man without stint. We regret TO see
that the depraVity Of that paper is so
confirmed that it cannot stick to good
resolution for twenty-fou hours in
a1ceession.

The Wabasb River ImDrOyement.

The engineer in charge of the pre-
liminary survey of the Wabash River,
under the orders of the War Depart
meut, arrived here on Tuesday last,
having examined the river from the
town of Wabash down. to this point.
Early next month he will resume
work and examine hence to the
mouth Of the river. He expresses
great faith ia the practicability of the
Improvement of the river, and in the
favorable action of Congress when
the facts are laid before them. Mil
lions of dollars have been ex-
pended under appropriations by Con-
gress, for the improvement of streams
in various parts Of the United States,
of far less importance than the Wa
bash, and there is no good reason
why that should not receive the fos-
tering care of the Government, and
be made one Of the thoroughfares Of
trade and traffic. Memorials to Con-
gress on the subject have aleady been
largely signed at nearly all the princi-
pal places along the Wabash Valley.
and will be laid before that body
simultaneously with the report of the
survey Nincennes Times.

CLIQUE Management.


The developments with regard to
the letting of-the contract for cutting
down HuIrs Hill. and filling up the
canal for two blocks, naturally direct
attention to the general policy adopted
by the present Council in the tran
saotioa Of the business of the city.
All who have watched its proceed
ings with any care must have OBJ
served the extraordinary preeaution
which vas taken at the beginning of
the municipal year. and has been pre-
served every since to have all the
important business of the city tran
sacted BY small cIiques, or rings, com
posed Of a few CounciImen. Of such
a character have been most of
the financial arrangements, the
Water Works contract, and the rail-
road interests Of the city, and the
thing has now progressed SO far that
committees are appointed. it seems, to
receive bids and award contracts.
This system IS a very bad one for any
city, and if persisted in for any length
Of time, viii prove ruinous to its
credit. What necessity can there be
for deputising a committee to receive
bids and award contracts2 Why not
stand By the old regulation and policy
Of advertising for bids, and then
opening them publicly in the presence
Of the Council and the bid.
ders. and awarding the contract
to the lowest responsible bid
der No fair-minded Council
man could object to this arrange
ment, and the departure from a rule,
the good sense and equity of which
has been demonstrated by years OF
successful trial in all parts of the
country, is ominous Of danger to the
corporation. and provocative of sus-
piciOn against those who bring about
the undesirableNchange.
The readers of the JOURNAL are
familiar with the manner in which the
Water Works contract was made.
There was no advertising and open
ing of bids. The whole thing was
placed in the hands of a small clique
or ring, and managed as it desired.
When it was demonstrated that re-
sponsible parties were willing and
anxious to bid on the work, and take
it at q saving Of many thousands of
dollars to the city. they were assailed
By the Ring and its friends with all
manner of internal abuse and con-
tumely. and the fire against them is
still kept up.
As in the Water Water Works con-
tract, 50 with other important mu-
nicipal transactions. But little bust
ness is done by the Council until it is
first made to pass through the hands
Of committees, and then only in such
manner as suits said committees. We
are aware that committees are neces-
sary; but they are mainly necessary to
ascertain facts, and report the same
TO the Council, so that it may act in.
telligently. We insist that the POLICY
OF clothing these committees with the
power to receive and open bids and
award contracts is dangerous and
vicious, and the tax payers will SO re-
alize before many months have passed
away.

the transaction Of the peoples bust
