THE Courier reads us lecture on
the T" diguities of Journalism" Every
reader Of the JOURNAL knows that
the application of the Bunkum
Museum " and its principal character,
Mr. Mullett, to the young Council
man from the Second Ward, was
solely because Of the all-absorbing
prominence he assumes to take in the
Council. and the supercilious manner
in which he is disposed to snub such
men as William Heilman. In the
same breath that the Courier lectures
US and lauds Mr.. Van Ripper, it says
of William Heilman:
We fully acknowledge Mr.. Heilman
TO be public spirited eeRtleman--a
citizen of importance to our growing
Gritty, and-aside from politics-he
is a fair man. But we regret to say
that his partisan prejudices are so
intense as to warp his judgment In
relation to men, and to influence his
action as public servant.
We assert, in reply, that while we
recognize Mr.. Van Ripper as +" a gen
tleman in his demeanor, thorough
man of business in his employment,
a true friend in his personal relations,
we regret to say that his partisan
prejudices are so intense as to warp
his judgment in relation to men, and
to influence his action as a public
servant" As we copy the language
Of the Courier, perhaps it will not be
denounced as beneath tho dignity
of an honorable journalist" IF the
rejection of the nomination of Mr..
Sausom is not case in point we never
saw one. Nothing in William He'll
mans political history will furnish
parallel to it for littleness and party
malevolence.
To show still further tho Courier's
peculiar fitness as an essayist on jour
nalistic dignity, We copy sentence
from another article in the same
paper, whence we obtain our reproof.
Speaking of the steam fire engine in
Reitz Il Haney's shop for repairs, the
following language is used:
Any man who says that al engine
with three fues plugged up is in good
order is simply scouadreJ or fool.
This engine had three hues plugged
up at both ends, and two of them
were burned off in the middle, the
hues and the engine are now to be
seen in the foundry of Reitz & Haney,
and still these Black Republican,
scOuadrels will insist that she was In
good order, Gin hopes that she might
explode and kill some Democrat en-
ployed to supercede the old offlcials).
The Scripture injunction is answer
a-well-an individual destitute of
the common powers of understanding
(the usual word is shorter but we are
anxious to sustain the dignity of
Journalism according to his folly,
but it is not often that tho aforesaid
destitute individual answers him
self so satisfactorily and appropriately
as the Courier replies to its charge Of
want of journalistic dignity on our
part, in the paragraph we have
quoted

SAUNDERs SAMSON was defeated for
City Treasurer by ono legged SOL
der, who, previous to the election,
avowed continually to Republicans at
least, that he was Republican. The
Democrats supported him because
they thought they could use him to
defeat Mr.. SAMSON, and that nobody
but Republican soldier, disabled in
the service, could accomplish that
end. Now the Courier justifes the
partisan meanness of the Democratic
Council, in refusing to approve Mr..
Sansom's appointment as Deputy
Clerk, on the ground that he was de-
feated for Treasurer. Mr.. SAMSON is
physically unable to labor. He is
amply qualified for the position Of
Deputy Clerk. At least Mr.. Helder
so regards him, and is willing to as
sumo all the responsibility of his
appointment. But Mr.. Van Ripper
says no, and the other Democratic
Councilman, with Mr.. Carpenter-not-
withstanding his hypooritical pro-
fessions Of being no partisan, previous
to the election-join in the crusade
against the poor soldier. These gen.
tIemen-as Mr.. Van Ripper said, with
reference to the water WOODSTOCK
the responsibility of the rejection of
the lame soldier, and we are disposed
TO give them all the credit of their
heroic and maguanimous proceeding.
The Courier's defense Of the Coun-
ell only adds insult to the injury
done Mr.. SAMSON. 1t also proves
that, while it regards the action of
tho Council as needing apology, sat-
isiactory explanation can not be
given.

As we have often said, this trade
legitimately belongs to Paducah, and
it only needs the right kind of
effort to secure it to Paducah. A
prominent merchant of our city who
has just returned from a lengthy tour
up the Tennessee says that Evans
Vile stock is at a discount up that
river, and that Paducah merchants
who are making proper exertions to
build up a trade In that direction are
succeeding admirably.
Evansville is fighting for it with all
the enterprise and vigor which dis
tinguishes her in her efforts to eX-
tend her trade, and now has three or
four regular packets in the trade and
more building. The Evansville pack
cts are all losing money, and some of
them have TO take up produce, etc, to
sell to get loads. But this only shows
that Evansville is determined to gain
this trade and keep it if in her power.
1t remains now for US to see that she
don't keep it. Our little home pack.
ct, the Ollie Sullivan, is making mon
ey, aud this shows that Paducah is
doing something, and can do more IT
she will. Let every man do his part,
aud the Tennessee River trade is
ours.-PadHcah Kentackian.
Is it not a little remarkable that
with three orfour regular packets in
the trade, and all losing money, that
Evansville should have more build
ing. We suspect the Kentuckian
don't see that its logic has a back ac
tiou. Our Knowledge Of the Evans
vile merchants don't incline us to
believe that they will persist any great
length Of time in any enterprise in
which they are continually losing
money. They regard the Tennessee
River trade as desirable because it is
profitable. When the packets all lose
money, We presume several of them
will withdraw and hunt more proiita.

From the Cincinnati Price Current.I
financial and Commercial Summary
for the Past Week, ending Tuesday
Evening, April 20.
There has been but a limited de-
mand for money, and the market has
been quite easy at SOLO per cent. for
acceptable paper, between bankers
and their customers. But little good
paper found outside. Notwithstand-
ing the general complaints made
about the dizziness of trade, we find
the aggregate income returns made to
the Assessors In this city. for 1869,
are nearly equal to those of the pre-
vious year. The returns were not
published this year, because the Sec
rotary prohibited the publication.
This was wise, because it was evident
that the publication has been of no
service, but was great source of an
noyance to parties making them. 1t
is likely that the new bill authorizing
q continuance of this tax, now before
Congress, will change the rates radi-
cally. Indeed a great deal has been
said In favor of abolishiDg the tax al
together, and much In favor of con-
tinuing it. In one sense, the tax Is
reasonable one, because those who
have incomes, as a rule, are best able
to pay taxes; still it is clear that
many are compelled to pay tax on in
comes which, in justice, they ought not
to pay. For instance, an individ-
ual may have an income this year
of ten to twenty thousand dollars,
and may lose thirty thousand dollars
next year, so that, averaging the two
years, there was no net income, but,
on the contrary, a heavy loss. Many
persons paid taxes on incomes, since
1863, who were utterly ruined in that
time and it is in this consisted the
great injustice of the law. The aver
age of three or four years ought to be
taken, from time to time, In order to
get a Just basis for assessing the tax:
otherwise there must be many cases
in which citizens are taxed upon that
which they do not possess.
The gold market has been quite
steady. the daily changes 10 New York

gross

[Rome Correspondence N. Y. TrIbune.]
1t is time to turn to the history of
the Council, and the disgraceful
scene in the Congregation Of the 22d
Of March requires another word.
Such a scene, say some America
Bishops, was never witnessed in Con-
gress. The Holy Fathers surrounded
the pulpit, using menaLes and clench-
ing their fists, while Cardinal Cataldi
assembled the stairs to tell Strossmayer
that the bell had been rung four
times, and to make him come down.
On the morning following, the err
ing Father demanded of the Car
dinals Legate by what right be
had interfered with him? 1t appears
that his ofFense was double First
In having defended Protestants
against anathemas. Second: In hav-
ing demanded a categorical answer to
the question whether dogmas were to
be defined by majority. A serious
misunderstanding unfortunately oc-
Cured between Bishop Stress mayer
and Cardinal Schwartzenberg, the
latter declaring that Strossmayer had
been too violent, and that he, the Car
dinal, could no longer act with him;
but the quarrel was afterward made
up. All the Prelates of the 0pposi-
ton called on Strossmayer to express
their sympathy and admiration, and
at the next meeting of the Interna-
tional Committee, on his making his
appearance, the Prelates, both French
and German, rose and embraced
him.

The German Denlokrat very frankly
comedies the partisan meanness of
the Council in rejecting the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Sansom as Deputy Clerk,
but justifes it on the ground that the
act is essentially Democratic. The

mendable as the act Of the Council is
