TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. Daily Joarnal, per year,. .. 7 SO by in weK, -15 wri;Ii?jÄ i So CITY OF EV ANSVILLE. TUESDAY MORNING,:::::::::APRIL 3. 03T We commence the publication today j of the General Banking law, which we found in last Friday's State Journal. It will be concluded to-morrow. . COT We do uot give our usual rariety of reading matter to-day, yesterday bein& "election day," and the columns of the Journal being pretty much filled up with a document of general interest. Pellf Knmiijr. We have heard from sereral sources that n desperate effort was made Ustwcek by a few enemies of the Journal among the Germans of this city, to induce German subsribera of this paper to stop taking it. Germans themselves have told us this. The ar gument offered to induce business men of this city to atop taking a paper, which is the only paper in the city of real practical use .to them, for markets, rirer articles &c, was, that the Journal dld'nt like Germans and the editor la a Know INothing. . We need not 'say that the foolish men who made these charges, are men who do not read th Journal, but form their opinion of it, and of its publisher entirely from the rascally articles about us, which have lately been disgracing the Enquirer and Reform. Those Germans who are continual readers of the Journal, and we are happy to say there are a great num berof such in this city, know that we occupy the same position now towards their countrymen we always did and the very same position we did whsn we were defending them against the malicions attacks of the Enquirer, the identical paper which has for the last two weeks been so attentively softsoaping the Germans. We hive but one policy in this matter, and that is, to make so distinction between American citizens,tnd we appeal to the files of the Journal and challenge any citizen to point out d'slinction we have made to the detriment of those who are foreign born. We have no fear of losing patronage to any-serious extent, by the misrepresentation of enemies. With all the ef forts made to Injure the Daily Journal subscription last week, the result was Lower Route, Germans stopped. 2 Upper " German subscribed. 1 ' Total loss -1 If the Journal has not done enough to mer it the warm support of the Germans of this city, we advise them to give it to their gen - eral (before election) friend, the Enquirer. We have do protestations of fidelity to make. If our course don't euit any class of the community, why we can't help it but there is no class whom we shall descend to court. For nearly six yeara we have been daily addressing ourselves to the citizens of Evanaville. If in all this time we have not suc ceeded in making even very dull teadera familiar with our policy, it is a pity indeed. We know at all eventa we have succeeded in making a very good paper, and if any subscriber thinks he is not getting the worth of his money in the Daily Journal, we advise him te stop taking it. That ia precisely what we should very likely do were we in his place. Only ne nnn. The election yesterday, notwithstanding the excitement on the issue of Know Nothingism, passed off generally peaceably. Almost without exception, there appeared tobe an earnest determination on the part of citizens to preserve peace. The only fight a knock down which occurred while the polls were open, was caused by a mouse. The innocent little animal running across the floor at the Pbcenix Engine House, where the lower wards were voting, occasioned ome remarks, and Sheriff Gavitt made an offensive comparison on the subject of Know NothingUm. A citizen named Mosely standing by, took up the remark, when Mr. Gavitt used some insulting expression, and was promptly knocked down by Mr. M. therefor. We would here remark, and we regret to be called upon to make such a remark, that the only disturbance at the polls during the day, was caused by Mr. Gavitt, -Sheriff ol Vanderburgh county, and he not a citizen of Evansville, and therefore having no riht to interfere at our polls in a purely city election. The Judge of e lection at the Neptune was compelled to threat en him with dismissI from the room at one time, for noisy interference in his duties. We have no commeats to make. Aa a man. his conduct was "tde and out of place aa a civil officer, it Wk unpardonable.
