Of the Council. and Mayor pro tenn,
at the meeting. on Monday evening,
gravely declared that I'VE had mooted
abroad that We were q city of 10000.

the various manufactures. which are be-

the census taker didn't fall short Of the
task assigned him blythe Evansville
Finance Committee much more than
the Committee itselfin its department.
Tsoenty-four millions Of tarables was
the high mark at which it aimed,
and we must say it did its level best
to bring the property up to those
figures. We don't know but what il
would have succeeded had it not been
for the desire Of the Committee to be
as easy as possible on the wealthy
real estate owners on Main and NORTH
First Streets. As it is. according tc
the Courier, the Committee falls shor
about thirty three per cent. The cen
sus man didn't do quite SO we'll, ant

fifty per cent. But the difference i

The indianapolis journal has had
secession to refer on various occasions
to some of the peculiar traits of char
acter which render Mr.. Buskirk an
improper person to be Supreme
Judge of Indians It seems also that
the Hon. John Petit. whom Benton
dubbed Dirty Dog, and who is now
candidate on the Democratic State
ticket for Supreme Judge, is not very
lovely character in the eyes of his
immediate constituents. The follow
ing Communication, written by Cath
Ole clergyman, gives a short chapter
in Mr.. Pettit's life. Ifany one doubts
the truth Of the statement, the JourR-
al advises them to inquire of Bishop
Luers. Of Fort Wayne. and Rev. J.
A. Stevens and Rev. G A. Hamilton,
of Lafayette.
THE AfoDEL JUDGE. - The Hon. John
Petit. OF Lafayette, was engaged In the
case of W. B. Davis, deceased, who left his
property to the Church and orphans. He
made few motions which affected the
case neither the one nor the other side
spoke in all some ten or fifteen minutes.
For this hercuIean task he demanded the
small sum of five hundred dollars. When
Rev. g. A. Hamilton, the executor, told
him that such q charge was unreasonable
and beyond all bounds, he went right of
and sued him for the claim. Having the
terror OF the Democratic party before his
eyes, this Cerftabts and dtsfa crested friend
cJthe orphans was at last prevailed upon TO
be satisfied with half his claim.
And this individual is running now for
Judge of the Supreme Court OF indiana.

THE editor of the Courier regrets
that the proprietors Of that paper do
not hold city bonds to large amount.
He says: ne hold not a dollar of
city bonds" We presume those best
acquainted with the editor would new
or think of accusing him Of being a
bondholder. As for the proprietors
Of that paper. doubtless, they don't
hold bonds in as large amounts as
they viii by the time they get through
bleeding the city. Their ideas of
large amounts have been wonderfully
enlarged since they have ascertainea
that all that is required by the pres
ent Council is to have the bills big.
For instance, an amount that would
seem large if charged against a bust
ness house for advertising, dwindfes
into insignifcanco when charged to
the city, because the principle ON
which claims against the city are
based, is, who cares for expenses =
Therefore, when it is asserted that
the proprietors aforesaid don't hold

don't hold as many as they expect to.
