MONDAY MORNING::::::::::::APRIL 2. The Election To-day-. We have no passionate appeal to make, as in old political times, to our fellow citizens on the occasion of the election of city officers to-day. We have treated this subject candidly and independently, and have sought more to impress upon our readers the importance of choosing the best man for every office to be filled, than to influence their passions or to arouse party feelings. It is true, we have ridiculed the course of the Old Liners here in the formation of their ticket, and declared it not such a ticket as the citizena of Evansville should support simply because we honestly believe it is not the right kind of ticket, nor formed upon the ri?ht principles. It is a ticket "cut and dried" by a few Old Line leaders and demagogues in Evansville. Knowing that put oat under, their own endorsement and direction alone, -and ran as an Old Line Democratic 'ticket, it could by no possibility sueceed,known and marked in this community as -these clique leaders are they called to their aid other elements, which they fused in an "anti-Know Nothing" meeting as they termed it, and had their cut and dried ticket introJaced to the community as the voice of the anti-Know Xothings" of the city, instead of the production of a set of men despised as politicians by their own party. Pretending that a secret order in our midst was try- ' ing to subvert the liberties of a portion of the people, and actually by their operations effecting serious injury upon the interest of " our city, they got up an issue upon the single question of Know Ncthingism, and upon the excitement' and false glare of it, rode their ticket through the meeting, and secured its endorsement, or the endorsement of those present who were not gagged and prevented from voting. By this coarse of deception, they have placed a regular Old Line Whisky ticket before the citizens of Evansville, as the production of this meeting, but which was concocted before the meeting by certain Old Line politicians. And now, they are claiming the vote of every msn opposed to the American party, for the ticket of an Old Line clique, who are the warm supporters of all the infamy of Old Lineism as represent ed in the late State Legislature, and who look to nothing but the election of men of their own feelings and destitution of principles to the control of thia city. If the : people of Evansville choose to be made tools '.of by such political things as these men, let them "vote the Old Line ticket otherwise let them prove themselves Americans, not by name, but by that independence of feel- , ing and action which every American should . be proud to assume and to exert. There is 'away of exhibiting their disgust at all such hypocrisy and deception, and that is by vot- . ing against the Old Line ticket. There are good men opposed to this ticket, for every office on it, and tickets containing all the names of candidates may easily be obtained. " We hope every man will exercise his free judgment and the independence of an American citizen in voting to-day. Be not misled . by . unprincipled demagogues, by men who ' make office seeking a trade, and wish to fill 'every office with their friends and toadies which they cannot secure for themselves. And see that these men be kept from intro ducing illegal votes, as they will most cer tainly try to do. Guard the purity of the ballot box, preserve order and decorum at the polls, but be firm in the discharge of your duty. 0 Stare bow yam wotel ' There is something extremely laughable in the idea, that at the very head of the anti-Know Nothing ticket, and supported by the German Reform, the German Volksbote and the German toady Enquirer, is the name of a young man who is probably more than suspected of being a Know Nothing him self! It is in vain he may now, under the bright influence of a prospective office.de clare himself opposed to Know Nothings, and rant and fume about them in that approved style necessary to secure the votes of those he is now courting. He may even publicly 3enj lo-day through his favorite orgtn that he is or ever has been a Know Nothinz. But whether he is or not, he is precisely the same young man who sympathized so warmly with the' Know Nothings of St. Louis in their fight with the Irish, who intimated so frequently that he had been engaged in this eame riot on the American side, and who re peatedly, when he bad no office in view, ex pressed the greatest love for the Know No . things, and made his friends here believe he was a. Know NothngJ This was when he had no thought of running for office in'this city, at least as an Old Liner. We have heard citizens say, who know him more intimately than we do, that they have no doubt he was lately a Know Nothing. He alone is to blame for such charges or suspicions, and if his opppnents now choose to hold him responsible for impressions he voluntarily made on them, Ae has no right to be dissatisfied. According to the oath of Know Nothings, as published in the Enquirer, every member swears, that he "will not under any circumstances, expose the name of any member of

order-" Now perhaps this oath alone !rri.wrnf4 the publicalion of documents 'Know Nothings in the Journal thia day, . . a

tnt;.ni1thiv that waiter dd loin . .w... '""'" . i . Walker as an ani-Know Nothing candidate, and perhaps some of them won't feel a little sheepish after the election, when the truth begins to gradually reveal itself ! P. S. Perhaps Mr. Walker would deny having brought several 'Know Nothing hats, to Evansville to present to his Know Nothing friends, last summer. What about those hats! (Todd's Capacity," The editor of the Enquirer says that he devoted one xchole hour to the examination of i the Tax Duplicate of this city for 1854, and has, after such long and patient investigation, found it incorrect! Now, is not this a terrible verdict againstTodd? John B.Hall, a man who has confessed that he could not make books of his own keeping balance with in hundreds of dollars, has in one brief hour convicted Todd of incompetency as an officer. How supremely ridiculous the idea, that such a man as Hall, known to be totally destitute ofinancial ability of any description, could tell even' after one year's examination wheth er the tax duplicate was correct or not. It is well known to every one experienced in such matters, to be a difficult job to make a tax duplicate and have it in every particular correct, even when there are no embarrassments in the way. We are informed by men who have the means of knowing, and the ability to discover the merits and defects of the document in question, that it is much more correct than those of former years, notwithstanding this wonderful discovery of an hour. Mr. Hall discloses nothing in his search except his own ignorance of the whole matter, by pretending that he has discovered errors in a single hour, which it would take a man of sense and an experienced accountant at least weeks to ferret out and correct. No, the object of this pretended examination was not to discover the defect of the tax duplicate, but simply to gain another pretext to abuse and vilify Todd. This was the sole object, and John B. Hall knows no more about the matter, in fact, than he knows about editing a paper decently. Bot Mr. Sorenson is again introduced by way of a certificate, which amounts to just nothing at all when understood. The facts about Mr. S. being applied to were these: When the Assessment Roll was returned, the time was found to be too short before the tax list would have to go into the hands of the Collector, for Mr. Todd to make it out without assistance. It was for this purpose that. Mr. Sorenson. waa, applied to. Mr. Crisp was subsequently employed to aid Mr. Todd. Mr. Hall asks nobody to take his word with regard to his statements, but to examine the books themselves. That is what Mr. Todd asks and has no fears of the result. Mr. Hall's word and his hour's search, are both unworthy of belief. But the biauty and consistency of all his charges and libels against Todd, are summed up in an eulogy upon the experience of Well Walker, Todd's competitor, "in such business." Now is not that rich! When and where did Well Walker get his experience "in such business!" Let the people answer to-day at the polls. City Surveyor. The Enquirer of Saturday gave its legal opinion that Mr. Chas. G. Olmstead, candi date for City Surveyor, is not eligible to the office. We have the opinions of five of the most prominent lawyers of Evansville, that Mr. O. is eligible, and can and will perform the duties of the office if eleeted. Wc more over endorse his entire competency and ex cellent charecter. He is an old residenter of Vanderburgh, and we hope he will receive votes enough to elect him. Of The Enquirer persists in calling us a Know Nothing, notwithstanding it knows we are not. If its editor ktiow the forms of oaths he published last Saturday, are used by the Know Nothings, as he says they are, he is more amenable to the charge of being a Know Nothing than we are, for we never heard anything similar to them used, and do not know that they belong to the Know No things. CCl" The Enquirer of Saturday had a very bold attack on some respectable ladies of this city. Attacking uomtn U an occupa tion so admirably adapted to the capacities and tastes of our neighbor, that we wonder he had not commenced the game a long time ago. It is well for him the ladies have not a paper of their own, or he might soon find himself as unsuccessful in abusing women as he has been in attacking men. We doubt whether any man in the city will vote for the Enquirer's favorite ticket to-day with the consent of bis wife, mother or sister. Columbia, Ia. This village, situated in Petoka Township, Gibson County, Indiana, has improved very much during the past year, and now contains nearly twj hundred lrnaouanis. it is handsomely located, on the line of the Evansville and Crawfordsvillo R. U and is surrounded bv a fine farming region settled with wealthy farmers, and must therefore continue to prosper. The Petoka river affords it fine water power for mius, several winch are successfully carried on. Columbia is ten miles distant from this place, and is the depot for most of the rail road freight designed for this section. Ml. Carmel leg.

OCT" Our late Representative, Mr. Hardin, called to see us last Saturday. We are glad to perceive he has almost entirely re covered from his severe indisposition. We thank him for a large lot of useful State documents. His friends in Evansville would be glad to see him here more frequently. Election 15 Kansas. The St. Louis News makes the following remarks on the election in Kansas, which takes place tomorrow: A Cloud m Kansas. There is a ' cloud hanging over the western frontier of Missouri and the eastern portion of Kansas, portcntious of coming trouble. The election of representatives tu the Territorial Legislature will take place next Friday, and then, if at all, this cloud will burst. The intensest excitement prevails, not only in Kansas, but all along the western part of this State, heigh tened and aggravated daily and hourly, as the crisis approaches which is to decide the relative strength of the slavery and antislavery parties in the Territory. There is but one issue, and that an important one shall Kansas be a free or a slave State. Both parties have made herculean efforts and sacrifices to accomplish their aimsthe Northern emigrants seeming as determined to attach Kansas to the anti slavery as the Missourians are to bind it to the South and Southern interest. For weeks past floods of emigrants have flowed pist our city to reach Kansas in time to vote at the Friday election . At the same time, swarms of settlers from Missouri have poured and aro now pouring across the Missouri river, arrayin? them selves as pro-slavery men, and determined to spare no efforts to triumph at the ballotbox. We fear that votes will not be the only weapons used on the election day. Neither party has lacked those who made it their duty to inflame their followers, add fuel to the flume of ill-feeling, and counsel crusades against the epposite party. If blood is shed , on their skirts will it fall, and on their heads rest the responsibility of its shedding. From tbs Memphis Whig or Mireh 26th. D1SASTE1COUS Cü.M LAGKATlOX Almost an entire Block in ashes Ix$$ estimated at 81U0.000 Forty-three Horses consumed The Appeal Office, two Livery Stables , and several Grocery Houses destroyed. Our city was visited on yesterday (Sunday) morning, by one of the largest and most disastrous fires that has occurred here for several years, educing almost the entire block between Monroe street rnd the alley north of it to ashes, and involving a loss of property amounting probably to over 8100,000. Between the hcurs of 3 and 4 o'clock, a fire was discovered in the rear of Messrs. Cockrell & Whitney's stable, in a portion of the stable where there was no light or fire used, evi dencing that the names was the vile work of an incendiary. The flames soon spread to the adjoining stable, belonging to Messrs. INewby &. May. Forty-three horses parisheu in me names. The buildings destroyed are as follows: On Main street the two expensive ttables occupied by Newby & May, owned by R. C. Unnkley, and the large staole of Cockrell & Whitney, owned by Mr. Parker. On Front Row, No. 19, occupied by Vaccaro & Co.. owned by William Armour, Nos. 17 and 18, owned by Iosby, and occupied by himself, Meacham & Galbrealb, and J. F. & J. W. MeKinney; Nos. 15 and 16 were also con siderably injured by fire and water. 1 he entire loss has not been ascertained. but will probably not fall short of 8100,000. of which a considerable portion is insured. We subjoin the following list of the Drincipal sufferers and their losses: U.C. Brinkley, two stables valued at S8.-000--no insurance. Cockrell & Whitney's loss is estimated at 6,000 no insurance. Mr. Armonr, builtlins estimated at S10.500 insured for 87,000. A. Vaccaro & Co., crrocers and liauor dealers, stock estimated at 830,000 insurance 810,0' 0 small portion of stock saved. Appeal omce saved most of their printing materials and stock lost their job office and mamoth Hoe press. Loss estimated at 85. 000 insured for 84,000. German paper saved nearly everything, but somewhat damaged by removal. Christian Advocate (Methodist) lost their enure omce. ljoss and insurance not known. öam juosby, two buildings estimated at 815,000, insured for 810,000. Stock of ffroceries light and mostly saved insured for S2.UUU. Meacham &. Galbreath, grocers and procuce aeaiers, naa neavy stock, mostly saved in a damaged condition insured for 83,000. J. F. &.J. W. MeKinney, furniture dealers stock estimated at S 17.000. Dartlv saved in a damaged condition insured or 810,000. Messrs. Copeland oiSangster, and Townsemi wray oiu., bad their stocks considerably injured by removing and water, but are amply insured to cover all damages. Mr. Slover, who was burned out at the Richmoud House last Thursday, but was temporarily occupying the bck portion that was saved, is quite a sufferer by this fire, naving oeen uurni out twice in less tüan a week. We did not learn the extent of the insurance, but it amounts to between 850,000 and 860,000, and is divided between the Memphis Insurance Company, the two Nosh ville agencies, and Jtna, Hartford, Conn., and the Home insurance Comrany, New York City. Our neighbors of the Appeal, with their accustomed energetic spirit, removed their effects to the Eagle and Enquirer office, and issued their morning paper, announcing the misfortune which had overtaken them. ,

TlieWny It Ended. A masquerade ball cä me off in Albany on Tuesday evening last. Among those pres. were Hob IJ - and Frank B -,of

this city. Bob is a marked crentleman, and a great favorite with the ladies; roues always are. . Bob left town under the plea that a 'sick uncle" was .dying, and that his services were indeed to "regulate the will." The ball, as we have already started, took place.on Tuesday evening last. Among the distinguished visitors who entered the room, as the sixth cotillion was being danced, were Bob and his friend Frank the former disguised as "Cardinal Woolsey," and the latter as a "brigand." Among' the ladies present was one whose beauty of contour, and delicately small ankles, produced an immediate impression on the pair. She wore a mask, and personated some lady of Italian extraction.. "That's a killing foot, Bob, isn't it!" "It isn't anything else, and then what a form who the deuc can she be!" "Can't say, but I intend to dance with her or perish in the attempt." After the "sixth cotillon" was finished, Frank crossed the room, drew a pair of lemon colored kids, "doubled up," and requested the honor of dancing the next set with the ! fair unknown. The fair unknown consented, and ins Tew moments afterwards the goodlooking brigand was doing a waltz in a manner that indicated that what such dancing lacked in grace it made up in hugging. Having acquitted himself of his waltz,; Frank seated bis fascinating partner, and ; jir-',rtr once more joined his friend Bob. Charming creature, isn't she! Waltzes like an angel, and has all the bewitchingness of a Spanish coquette." She has evidently made an impression on you, Frank did you do the same'' a,I rather think I did engaged for a ride up the Troy road, as soon as the ball is over if that is not an impression, I don't know what would be by the way, how can I find out who she is!" "Use stratagem bet me fifty dollars, and I'll ascertain that fact in twenty minutes." "I'll do it now go ahead." Bob did so, and in the course of a few min utes returned. "Well, what luck, Bob found out who she is?" . "Can't ay for certain; but I think I have. While sitting by her side, I drew her handkerchief from her pocket, and with it her card case. There it is open it on the sly, and see if it contains what you are in search of." Bob did as he desired, and made a discovery that rather astonished him. "Who do you think she is!" "Could not even guess." "Read that and take knowledge." Mrs. Robert! my wife! as I am a sinner. Get me a pistol I'll murder you and then take her life." The last seen of Bob and his friend, they were rushing down State street, the latter about four del in advance of Cardinal Wolscy's H oLiicfcfcLr. ii nib ucwaiuo VI iuir. , will be known when the next steamer arrives. Moral When you go to see a "sick uncle," take your wile along. Loneliness is very suggestive, and leads to more impropriety than Byron's poems. X. Y. Dutchman. CITY ELECTION.
