The news By telegraph from Europe
is Of highly exciting character. War
against Prussia was yesterday declared
By the Corps Lsgislatif of France,
and the tread of martial hosts are
now heard all over Western Europe.
II is difficult to say what may be the
result, as two Of the most powerful
nations Of Western Europe-both
able and prepared to put vast armies
in the 6eld-and each flushed with
the prestige of recent achievements.
are marching against each other, and
one or the other possessing the SYM
pathies Of the other nations Of Eu-
rope, and it is not improbable that
the whole continent will be involved
in such a war as the world has never
witnessed.
We gave in the JOURNAL Extra, Z"
at an early hour yesterday afternoon.
the dispatches 10 full up to 3 Pm.
The news produced a profound sensa-
tion among our people. many of whom
are natives Of the countries involved !,
and who have relatives there. The
effect Of the news upon American Sc
curities abroad, and the money, stock
and produc, market at home. is
marked and significant. Further ex
citing news will be found in the tele-
graphic columns of the JOURNAL
this morning, whick will be read with
eager interest.

addressed the delegates on objects OF the
Convention: ship transportation by canal,
the lakes. Fox River, Mississippi River

Sands exposed the drawback put upon our
business prospect, by the tniquttous fogy-
ism that prevails in the MANAGEMENT of

for 1.-THE txtention of the Erie Canal, an

Work has been suspended on the
new Union Depot and hotel at Vim
cennes. We are told that this sus-
pension is due to negotiations in pro-
gress between the Pennsylvania Cen
trail and the e. IL G. roads for the
control of the southern portion of the
latter by the former. 1t will be re-
membered that the Pennsylvania
Central already has control of the /.
& v. and the Evansville, Henderson
& Nashville lines. That the same
company should try to complete their
southern connection by leasing that
part of the Il. & G. road extending
from Viucennes to Evansville, seems
very probable.-E FL. Erpress.
The report that the Pennsylvania
Central Road had secured the control
of the e. & @. Road by purchase of
stock, originated with the Vincennes
correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette. We don't know what authority
he has for his statement. We hope,
for the sake Of Vincennes, that the
hotel and depot project will not be
abandoned.

Editors Journal:
Could it not be as we'll for our
importers and those of our citi-
zens who have the prosperity Of Ev-
ansville at heart. to build or provide
a suitable building for bonded ware
house?
Instructions have been received at
this port from the Secretary of the
Treasury, that from the fact that there
is no bonded warehouse at this port,
the duty on all importdti0ns must be
paid O7t dFriU1l.
To receive all the benefits that may
accrue from this port being made a
port of entry, a suitable building
should be provided without delay, in
which imported merchandise could
be put in bond.
Merchandise can remain in bond
one year without additional duty
After one year an addition of ten pei
cent. is made on the duty.
The warehouse system was adopted
FOR the benefit of the importer, giving
him a credit on the duty until the
merchandise is withdrawn for con
s..:nption.
All interested will perceive the ne
cessity OF providing a suitable build
ing without further delay. H.

Water Works Again /!

The Courier charges that our criti-
cisms upon the Weir Van Ripper
Water Works Contract are prompted
by bitter partisanship. We do not
propose to defend our motives. The
point with the people is. are our crit
icisms justified by the facts of the
contract itself. which we have pub
lished in full, and urged our readers
to examine for themselves. The
Courier has been unable to meet the
points of objection to which we have
called attention. It's only effort has
been to defame every body who OBJ
jected to the contract and the manner
in which it was made. We insisted
that the contract contemplated the
location of the Water Works in the
lower part of the city, and pointed
cut the clause in the contract which
justified that conclusion. The Courier
has repeatedly stated that the Water
Works Com mittee had no such inten.
ton, bat the Committee has taken
particular pains not to endorse the
Courier's statements. In this we
credit the Committee with shrewd-
ness.
In answer to our statement that
the water mains designated the loca :
tion ofthe works, aud with reference to
the difference In the cost of the "drift"
pipe leading to the we'll from the riv-
err. the Courier of yesterday responds
as follows:
Mr.. Weir's contract specifies just
how much pipe he is TO furnish. How
then, could he be the loser should
the location of the works above the
city require more pipe than their To-
cation below would require? LII the
JOURNALS assumption that more
pipe will be necessary for the works
above than below the city be true,
would that not be sufficient reason
why Mr.. Weir should hold to the con-
tract, rather than release it, since, IN
| furnishing extra pipe, he would, OF
course, reap extra profits.
Well, if it has been the intention of
the committee all the time to locate
the Water Works up town, why did
it perform the farce of specifying IN
the contract that the main water pipes
should be down town? Was it fol
the express purpose of enabling Mr..
Weir to furnish extra pipe and rear
extra profits? How much that extra
pipe will cost. we have already ;nti-
mated. It is no small sum of money
Il was one of our prominent objec-
tions to the contract. that it provided
several opportunities for extras.
Now the Courier comes forward and
admits that the very first change con
templates bill OF extras by increas-
ing the amount Of pipe. In the name
of common sense, when are we to
arrive at anything like correct esti-
mate of the cost of these Water
Works? How much expense will the
city be put to for the various changes
which the committee reserved to itseh
the right to maker

they have advertised, they have now
a chance. In the meantime, while
