CITY OF EVANSVILLE. TUESDAY M0R1NG,:::::::::::::::FEB. 5. Where belongs the Eesponaibilityt Yesterday we notified our readers of the election of Speaker of the House of Representatives, and gave full abstract telegraphic reports of proceedings immediately preceding the election. The Republicans succeeded in electing their man. We notice that many of the Democratic Representatives are endeavoring to excuse themselves to their constituents for the long delay in the election of Speaker, and are seeking to throw the resposibility upon others. Our own Representative has at last found time to write a letter home for publication, in which he thinks the Republicans are altogether to blame, because they have the majority, as he says. There is a slight error in this. The Republicans like the Democrats, xcept to not so great an extent, are in the minority in the House. They had to have aid from some quarter to elect a Speaker, with full House present. They stuck to the principles under which they were elected, and having a number nearly equal to that of the Americans and Democrats combined, it could not have been seriously expected, nor was it their duty, to compromise for the election of either an American or Democrat. We say this, at the same time our feelings were with the National Americans. We are glad to perceive that bitter enemy of the Republicans, the Louisville Democrat, maintains the same position. In the Democrat of one day last week, we find the following: The Black Republicans have an object which their party sent them there to accomplish; arc they to blame for consistency for doing what they promised? If they should now face about and help put a man in the Chair who would oppose all their schemes and thwart all their purposes, it would be a strange and demoraliz ing spectacle. It would show a disregard of principle that would shock the moral sense of all men. lo 1 sure it would be an infinite advantage to the country if such a party were swept out of existence; but such a mode of do ing it, as that of a whole party disregarding all its professions, would be uisojustin;. It ' would be purchasing peace at too high a price. But if any one party is more to blame than another for this long delay, it is the Administration party. At the start they threw out a defiant caucus resolution declaring against all compromise, and signifying ia plain language the Speaker had to be elected without their help,' unless he were a Democrat. They selected a man more objectionable to the Republicans than any other man in the House, inasmuch as he had been the champion and leader in carrying the Kansas-Nebraska Bill through the House in 1854. Thus the Democratic minority blocked the way for any compromise, and folding their arms, refused any practical aid in solving the difficulty. And yet they were representing the Administration which had everything to gain and nothing to lose by an early organization. Standing thus, and a small minority, everything demanded ompromise from them first. But so deter"""Had were they to have Richardson and nooody else, than they refused to compromise by electing another Democrat, Smith, of Virginia, when they had a chance to do so. Smith was less objectionable to the Republicans, and he received one time outside votes enough to have elected him, had the Democrats sustained him cordially. Finally, they were obliged to give up Mr. Richardson. His old views on the Wilmot Proviso, &c, were brought up, and it became a matter of necessity to have some other candidate. Aiken, of South Carolina, was united upon, but with the understanding, as a compromise to get American votes, that he. did not stand upon the Democratic caucus platform. Thus things stood when the Plurality vote passed. We think that all parties were more or less to blame for the delay, but the Democracy the most, as being least compromise and as representing the administration. A Bad Fire. Last Saturday night about 11 o'clock, a destructive fire, occurred at Mr. John Butler's plantation in Kentucky, a mile and a.half above the Evansville ferry. It consumed Mr. Butler's barn, stable, cribs and stock house destroying 5000 bushels of corn, 1000 bushls of oats, 10 or 12 tons of hay; harness, &c, Sec. The ccrn had been sold, to be paid foron delivery, and of course the loss falls on Mr. B. Ho has teen perfectly cleaned out, having not a bushel of corn left to grind up for his negroes. Mr. Butler is a very youns: man, brother to Mrs. Trafton of this city, and bears the char acter of a hard working, industrious man. He had worked indefatigably planting and gathering in his crops, and now all is gone. The fire was undoubtedly the work of some incen diary. fj7"A beautiful Irish muss came off last Sunday evening in a little house in the En quirer neighborhood on I irst street. Table legs moved about lively, without the aid of any other spirits than old "red eye," and five Irish gentleman were counted flat on the floor at one time. The performances were highly exilerating to the whole neighborhood, but might have been rendered more pleasant to outsiders if a few police officers could have mingled in the affair. C7"The weather yesterday moning, by our thermometer, was just precisely of the same temperature as Sunday morning; at 8 o'clock the thermometer stood 13 deg., below zero. xne inermomeier stood aeg., below zero.

The Engine Sale. I

As the Enquirer took an editorial position yesterday in favor of the sale of the Washington Emrine to the citr. we do not think our friends of the Washington Co. have any right to object to the Journal's publication of a communication in opposition to such sale. We would here say, that whenever the columns of the Journal are opened to one side of any discussion outside of politics, the same columns i--r tenn tkanth are JUSl a lree WM,Duuuuu.aiiviu mo viuvi side And most certainly, having admitted a communication against this sale, are we ready r , ... to offer our columns for the use of those mamtaming different opinions. Writing as Incog . hi uuaicu iiu!h:.m i v m uu. auu as axv u.vimivui .rr . . . . ' . for the good of the city, and not in any perso- " . ' r ... nal animosity, we had no right to refuse publi cation to his article, nor have wo any apologies .

to make for having grantedhim a hearing. In ; We respectfully refer the above to our Evthe absence, however, of any communication ;gra,,joug repy. So that the weakness of tak- ansville ladies, hoping that if they find their in reply to his remarks, we have this much to jng a husband's name has no place in the pro- "rood things" frozen, thev will try the exper-

say in justice to the Company. We are assured by a member ofthe Company, for whom we have the highest personal regard, and in whose sentiments we place implicit confidence, that the members of the Company honestly believe the engine to be a good one. and not liaa . 1 .. 1 .1T ble to the objections urged against u Dy incog, : and that they are perfectly willing to keep the machine, if the city is not just as willing to purchase her. We are informed that a large proportion of the members of this Company are Germans. We are sure that some of these members are entirely mistaken, in thinking their nationality has had anything whatsoever to do with the feeling among our citizens against this proposed sale. In leed the objec tions do not seem to be against the Company at all, but against their engine. We would pro po e to this Company, that they shall permit their engine tobe before the public six or twelve months longer, and if, after the trials of this time, she prove herself such a machine as her owners claim she is, then we presume there would be no great objection to the city's purchasing her. In this connectien we wish to make a remark or two otherwise. The Enquirer says: As to the capacity of this engine, the statement made by the Journal is ail wrong. The statement made by the Journal was merely to give the measure, as made by one oj the Committee appointed to examine the capabilities of the engine, of her throwing one particular daj'. The Enquirer again says: To gratify the spleen of some members of the rseptune engine, who are in the Council, the interests of the city and of the fire department are to be sacrificed. This is all wrong. There is but one active member of the Neptune's in the Council, and we do not presume he would permit "spleen' make him sacrifice the interests of the city and fire department. There are three mem bers of the Washington Co. in the Council, wo believe The Evansville Journal complains that the "Old Liners" at the eth of January Conven tion did'nt nominate any man who had ever been a Whig for a State office. Well, what Whig did the Fusionists nominate for a State office in 1854? Was it Collins, or Talbott, or Nofsinger, or Mills? According to the best of our recollection, three of these men were renegade Democrats, and the fourth a Free Soiler. State Sentinel. Exactly so and yet the difference is this: The Old Line party have been begging and pleading for the votes of old Whigs, kindly forgiving all their past errors and uttering sick ly eulogies upon the late Whig party. They have boasted that thousands and tens of thousands of old Whigs in this State, were going with the Whig party's old foes this year and the Old Liners have offered them every induce ment but one to do so. Yet a St&te Democratic Convention is held, and not ore old Whig put upon the ticket which Whigs are beseeched to be so kind as to swallow. True to their in stincts, the Old Line leaders parcel out the offi ces among themselves. They onlv want old Whig votes, taking precious good care they shall have no share in the division of offices. The "Fusionists" made their appeals for Dem ocratic votes, not for Whig votes, for those they had, and although we did not approve of giving Fusion Democrats the lion's share, yet the fact of their obtaining it, is ample evidence that the "Fusion" party, while they asked for Dem ocratic votes, intended to give Democrats an equal interest in the honors and emoluments of party success. What Dickess Does'nt Write. It has been the popular habit to attribute all the best papers in Household Words to Dickens, but the London Literary Journal says that this is a great mistake. The writers for that periodical all imitate his style, but there is rarely anything from his pen published in its pleas ant pages. Somj of the tales of the Holly Tree Inn," the new Christmas book, are very much in his style, but the same authority says that he did not even write the delightful little story of the childish runaway match to Gretna Green. It was from the pen of Mr. G. A. Sa la. A series of "Twelve Xew Stories, by C Dickens," collected from Household Words, has lately been translated and published in Paris and eight of the twelve were by other writers. The privilege oi maKing use oi uickens'namoon Household Words is a valuable one. for which he is doubtless paid handsomely; but there are probably a dozen others who write more regularly and more frequently for it than he does. A New Dodge. The next steamer from New York for Nicaragua, will carry out a number of delicate young men. The New York Post says, "these invaliiis are to seek a mild climate for the benefit of their shattered constitutions, which have been impaired by the UiHlanee of the U. S.

A bill has been introduced nto the Ohio Legislature to fix the salaries of some of the officials of Hamilton county at certain specified sums. The Cincinnati Ga zette is credibly informed that the five leading offices in that county yield the following enor mous profiits: TreuKurer S-IOWO Clerk. i.VUWI Auditor 18,000 30, H 0 5 U U Sheriff frub.lu Judge. Tatal .1 18,(00 07" The railway from Moscow to Peters burg is to be protected by redoubts placed at ntervales along the line. Each recoubt is to be occupied by a battillion of militia, who used to be responsible for the line within their lim its, to the extent of guarding it against any surprize by the enemy. Qj Napoleon has presented to Queen Vic toria, as a New Year's gift, an album containing water-color paintings by the most eminent artists, each picture representing some incident in the Queen's visit to Paris. To the Empress he has presented a costly and ingeniously dovised ssrvice of plate. Texas o TnE Presidency. The Ameri cans of Indianola, Texas, have instructed their Delegates to the State Convention, which is to elect delegates to Philadelphia, to vote for such men for delegates only as are favorable to Millard Fillmore for President, and Sam Houston for Vice. 0OThe republicans of Michigan have elect ed their canididate for judge of the supreme court, Mr. Bacon, over Ex-Gov. Ransom, the Pierce candidate. fj5 By direction of the Postmaster General all newspapers containing circulars, handbills, and "extras" are to be charged letter post 05" The avenge salaries of New England Methodist preachers are found, on calculation, to be about $600 a year. 07"It is understood that the eight delegates from Iowa to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to support Douglas. 07"The following ministers died in Indi ana during the year 1855: Philip Lindsley, D. D. (Presb.) New Albany, Ind. James It. Smith, (Presb.) Cannelton, Ind. Francis Montfort, (Presb.) Grecnsburgh, Ind. L. Spofford, (Presb.) Rockport, Ind. The Longest Trip on Record. We learn that the steamer Tiber is now lying aground up the Arkansas river, and has been there about seven months. She left Cincinnati in the month of June, 1855, and managed to run aground where she has lain ever since. She was not alone in her misfortunes, for there were others in the same interesting fix. One or two other boats are now up that stream which have been there ever since the birth of the oldest inhabitant. One boat (the name not recollected) is said to have gone up there when the Arkansas was a little creek; but as the river grew larger and deeper the boat did not float ofF. when upon examination it was found that the grass and weeds had grown up through the hull, and there she remains to this day.
