Mr.. VAN RIPPER, in his circular
gotten up last Spring, to deceive deal
ars in stocks and securities, asserted
that the taxable property of the city
Of Evansville had increased from $751;
100000 to $24, 100000 in a single year.
he knew this was not true. The in
crease In the value of real estate has
been very small-hardly pereeptible
to the naked eye. Yet. in order to
make his statement good, he deliber-
ately proceeds to re-value the real es-
tate Of the city, adding from fifty to
one hundred per cent. to the previous
appraisements, and the Council has
not the manhood to resist his folly.
The Courier endorses it, and insists
that it is administering the affairs of
the city with equal and exact Justice
to all. 1t hasn't the brains to compre-
nend, or the honesty to acknowledge,
chad even though the tax levy may
be lower than last year, it will be out
rageously unjust to owners of real
estate. because it will be discrimi-
mating IN favor of personal property.
It also seems to be unable to compre
bend that the surest way to precipi-
tate financial disaster and ruin upon
the city, is to attempt to force the
collection of taxes upon an illegal ap-
praisement. 1t is because We desire
to avert the calamity of protest, bank
ruptcy, and reputation, that We pro-
test against, and denounce, this un-
lawful appraisement of the Second
Ward carpet Dagger"
But, says the Courier. Messrs.
Heilman and Sehaum admit that per-
feet and exact justice has been done
to all classes of citizens in this ap-
praisement. These gentlemen admit
no such thing. Mr.. Heilman has re-
peatedly said that the real estate was
appraised, in his opinion, uniformly
but uniformly too high Both gem
tlemen have opposed the high ap-

THE Courier declares that the blu
introduced by Senator Sumner. which
sleeps quietly in the Senate Judiciary
Committee. is designed to break down
all distinctions between the white and
black races. 1t waileth a melanchol-
ly wall, as follows:
Under the severest penalties the white
man is compelled to endure the association
Of negroes when travelling by land or
water. He must sit by the side of the ne
gro at the steamboat and hotel tsble, in
the lecture room, in church, at the theater
and all other places of amusement and
public instruction. The white mans
child is forced to receive his education in
the school-room, side by side with negro
children. No private corporation can be
formed, from the privileges of which the
negroes can be debarred. Go where you
VIII, act as you will, think as you will,
the forced association with negroes is the
D ortion roseted out to you by the stern
mandate of the law, under penalty Of
heavy fines and even imprisonment.
We think our readers will agree
With US that the above is rich NOR
sci to emanate from the pen Of man
who, few short months ago, volun-
tarily invited and urged a negro to
partake of the inequalities of his
family and home; to sit by the side
Of his wife and children at his own
Preside, and enjoy all the privileges of
a greatly admired and distinguished
guest. Not only so, but the editor
aforesaid seemed to be greatly grieved
because some prominent Republicans
deemed it in better taste - and
more in accordance with the wishes
Of the distinguished colored man
to have him stay with those of his
own color while he remained in the
city. We say for "cheekiness" the
above paragraph. coming from the
source it does, cannot be surpassed
within the boundary lines of this
vast continent.

sition amount to. when Mr.. Van Ri
per and the Council had deliberately
set out to make the appraisement
fifty per cent higher, so as to have the
duplicate Of the city correspond with
the circular issued by him shortly ai-
ter he became the head of the Finance
Committee.
The Courier's defence of the Coun-

of that body is utterly indefensible.

The usual complimentary resolu-

the Conference was over and we we're

was sung and Rev. James Hill led In
prayer.
Alter appropriate remarks, which
were extended to some length, the list
was received with deep interest. not
only by the preachers. but by the
large audience which flied every part
of the church.
Of course, as the reading progress

appointments. Each preacher 81

up to God for help to perform it
faithfully and well. Deep emotion

The end was reached. A motion
to adjourn was carried. Out of the
hush and stiffness arose the doxology.

THE JOURNAL repeats the stale cry that
there was Democratic Board OF Commits
sioners when the Salt Well bridge was or
dered to be built. Upon the principle that
Iohn TYLER made good Whig President
after the death of General Harrison, and
that Andrew johnson continued Rad
zeal Republican after Mr. Lincoln was
k1lled. we suppose the JOURNAL is right!
But viewed from any other standpoint our
neIghbor is sadly in the wrong. The De-
mocracy dlsclaim any stock IN the control
of that Board. We had one true Demo

Hawkins previous to his election had
