Our Cemeteries.

The subject Of the Cemeteries has
very properly been attracting a por-
ton of the attention of the City
Council recently. We notice that at
their meeting on Tuesday night a
committee was appointed to report
rules for the thorough remodeling Of
the rules governing the Cemeteries"
The last Council adopted an Ordi.
nance placing the Cemeteries under
the management of Board of Com
missioners elected by the Council.
This act of the Council was heartily
approved by all the city papers and
generally commended by the people,
as it had IN view the placing Of the
Cemeteries under some permanent
control, and removing it from politi-
cal and temporary influences. If
there is any one interest of the city
which should be sacredly preserved
from local, temporary, or political in
huences it is the management and
adornment of our Cemeteries. We
think this committee and the Council
in this regard can do no more wise
thing than to ratify and follow the
action Of the old Council II
the present Cemetery Commissioners
are unwilling to act, (Which we hope
is not the case) let them select others
and let us have the entire revenue oil
the Cemeteries expended in their
adornment and improvement. Oak
Hill, under the superintendent Of
Mr.. John $. Goodge, is already the
pride of our city; but if all its rev.
enues are annually spent upon its i'm
provement, it can be made much
more beautiful aud attractive year
by year. We are informed that las
year the Cemetery receipts were over
two thousand dollars, and the ex
penditures only few hundred. The
balance was consumed in the genera
expenses of the city. This should
not be. Les every dollar of the Gem
etery funds be sacredly set sside fo
its establishment, under the contro
of gentlemen, appointed for a tern
of years, who will have some system
and remain in Office long enough Il
be able to carry it out. Let the mis-
appropriation Of these funds cease
We hope will be the decision of thi
committee and the Council.

Nr. George Finch and the Negroes
Mr.. George Finch, of Armstrong
Township. has called upon US and
denies that he had anything to do
with the threats of violence against
Mr.. Bixler, in 1868, and that the
statement of the case as appeared in
the local columns Of the JOURNAL, Of
Tuesday. is not correct, and does him
great injustice. We cheerfully pub
lish that portion of a lengthy card,
published by Mr.. Finch in the Cou-
rier, which relates to his denial and
statement Of the facts, having no
disposition to do him injustice He
says:
In answer to the false accusation
made by the JOURNAL, am Obliged
to state that there is no Jacob Bixler
in Armstrong Township, so far as I
know, and was not In 1863. There is,
however, one Mr.. John Bixler, a res.
ident there, who is a we'll to do farmer.
Several years ago he employed a num-
Der of eolored persons to work
for him. One Mr.. Wolfe. q
school teacher, then residing in
the neighborhood, filed an afida.
Wit before Esquire Harness, a JUS
tiee of Armstrong Township, against
MIR. Bixler for a violation of the State
law, which prohibited negroes and
mulattoes from coming into the State,
and provided for a penalty against
persons giving them employment.
The trial attracted general neighbor
hood attention and among Others I
attended. During its progress Major
A. l.. Robinson. attorney for Mr..
Bixler, set up as a defense that the
colored persons employed by his client
were not negroes or mulattoes. but

A dispatch from Washington City
says that Senator Trumbull has put
the Western Port Of Entry bill, so
called, into shape to move as an
amendment to the tax bill, and pre-
sented it Tuesday. He and General
Sehurz will vigorously press its adOp-
ton, and it will undoubtedly have
the support of other Western Sena-
tors. They are reasonably confident
of being able to carry it through the
Senate.
We are not informed as to whether
Evansville is to be included In the
list. but we trust no movement will
receive the support of our Indiana
Senators that does not enhance Ev-
ansville. This State is without port
of entry, and it is the unanimous
opinion of our Congressional delega-
ton, that Evansville should be made
one. There has been manifested on
the part of some of the larger cities a
disposition to ignore it in the west
ern movement for ports of entry, but
we trust our National Representatives
will look closely after our interests,
which are the interests of the whole
State In this matter.

Evansville ImprOVements-The Now
Great Want.

Monday last may we'll be called a
field day" for Evansville, if all is
satisfactorily accomplished which was
projected or acted upon. The local
events of that day lock 10 the early
completion of the Southern Illinois
Railroad; the agreement of the Coun-
Gil to a contract for the erection Of
Water Works. greatly needed and
much desired improvement. however
Objectionable its management; definite
shape given to a proposition to finish
the old Straight Line Railroad, a pro-
ject which has been before the people
for the past twelve or fifteen years;
and the assurance received from
Washington City that Evansville was
to have the benefits of United States
District and Circuit Courts.
When all these projects arc success
fully realized, Evansville will be
able to take rank with the leading
cities of the country. But one thing
more remains to be done before we
can claim to be fully worthy the name
and rank Of a city, and that is the
erection of a first. class hotel. We
have written so much AID so often
upon this unwelcome subject that
hardly anything remains for us to say /;
but we cannot let the occasion pass
without urging cur capitalists and
leading citizens to take hold Of the
matter anew, with earnestness, and re-
move from Evansville the reproach
which she has abroad, and supply the
great want, from the absence of
which we suffer at home.
We are assured that there are re-
sposible gentlemen in this city ready
to go forward at once with this enter
prise, if the right location can be Sc
cured al a reasonable price, and if our
citizens will respond with becoming
liberality in aid Of it. We hope that
some one of our large property hold
ers will avail himself of this op.
portunity to have erected a worthy
monument to his name and public
spirit, and not seek to speculate off
the necessities of the city. Let us
now in this opportune time of Evans
ville's advancement push forward the
hotel enterprise.

POLITICAL NOTES.

DAN. VOORHEES, is to be renomi-
mated for Congress by the Democratic
District Convention at Terrs Haute
to-day.
THE canvass in North Carolina is
about to open earnestly; nearly all
candidates for office at the August
election having taken the stump.
WIN. HENNING seems to be the
coming man for the Democratic
nomination for Circuit Prosecutor.
He has made such record" during
his present term as to eminently fit
him for a Democratic nomination.
A DAYTON correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette predicts that there
is to be once more the same old fight
between Schenck and Vallandigham
in the Third Congressional District cf
Ohio.
GENERAL BUTLER probably has no
other object in view in reporting
general amnesty act at this time than
to test the sense of the House upon
the propriety of passing such meas
ure. Congress should make haste
slowly in this very important matter.
TIE appointment of the judicial
Convention for the Third District at
Princeton has been recalled, Chair
man Whittlesey having yielded to the
pressure. He now wants it at Evans
Vile, in order that the local pressure
may be brought to bear in favor of
the nomination of Mr.. Dyer.
The st. Louis Democrat dominates
Gratz Brown for the Office of Govern
or of Missouri. Mr.. Brown favors
the Constitutional Amendment to en-
franchise rebels, which will be sub.
mitted to the people at the Fall cleo
ton. The other most prominently
mentioned gentlemen in connection
with this office are Gov. McClurg,
present incumbent; Liet. Gov. Stan
ard, of st. Louis; Col. Benjamin,
Congressman from the Eighth Dis
trict: and Col. Van Horn. Congress
man from the Sixth District.

far the most Influential Republican in

do much to settle the difficulty in our
party. In the name of the Repub.

The English papers which have
been received by mail, containing the
particulars of the death of Charles
Dickens, do not differ materially from
those received by cable, although
more prominence is given to a state
ment that his health had been in o.
precarious state for some time prior
to the fatal attack, and that his med
ical attend ant had warned him a year
since of the development of spoplec-
tic tendencies. The most inter
esting fact contained in the papers is
q letter, written on the day Of his
death, which has peculiar interest,
both from that fact, and also that it
throws light upon q question which is
just now being considerably discussed
his religious views. The letter is
