CITY OF EVANSVILLE. FRIDAY MORNING,: :::::::::::::FEB. 8. : "Absorbing Baces" Amalgamation, &o. äl DUUlw VUttUlO nub CUstUUO JUIUIVI USllLJ of fame or of infamy, it will not be because . 1 W .

As some of our readers may doubt that any editor could have deliberately . made such a charge, we make an extract from his remarks: . What! our daughters, our sisters, our rela- . tives, receive the addresses of a negro'. . What an abominable idea! What a bestial proposition! And yet and yet, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Banks, has publicly avowed it as his matured conviction, that this wide spread amalgamation must take place; or to use his own words, that "the stronger race must absorb the weaker." This revolting doctrine may be received with much gusto in fanatical Massachusetts, but we pledge ourselfj that outside the boundaries of that excrcscense on the body politic, it will be met as it deserves, with execration and disgust. : ., i In this connection, the editor makes an appeal to Southern ladies, to "hurl back on this direct impugner of their modesty and refinement with the only weapon which Providence has avouched to them (where's Cato?) that resentment which lacerated feelings can draw f jrth." We hope that lacerated faces will not give evidence they have used that other wo man's weapon, finger nails. Mr. Banks, in reply to interrogatories put to him and other candidates for the Speakership, used the following language, speaking at the time of the white and black races: ' ' "He had adopted the idea that when there is a weaker race in existence it must succumb and be absorbed in the stronger race. This he considered a universal law as regarded the races, and he proposed to wait until , time should determine the superiority of the black or the white race by one of them absorbing the other." The vulgar idea given to absorbing, by the learned commentator whose ideas we have given above this last extract, is entirely his own, and should be patented as such to prevent others using it without recompensing the inventor. We have heard of the white race absorbing the Indian race, and the race Caucasian absorbing barbarian races innumerable, and all that, but never before understood it to mean an amalgamation of the races, by which a black race would in time pass through all the shades of color till it reached the perfect white, or the white gradually deepen with passing generationstill it become jet black. We had thought that "absorbing" in this connection meant swallowing up, or . overwhelming, or gradually wasting away. We have no particu lar affection for either Mr. Banks or some of his political feelings, but we think he and his friends will be considerably astonished to learn that in speaking of one race absorbing another, he has been offering "a bestial proposition," and requesting "our daughters, our sisters, our relatives to receive the addresses of a negro.'" It is astonishing that directly after a man had made such a '"bestial proposition," he should receive the votes of 103 of the people's Representatives to rule themselves! Old Lineism is literally teeming with originality at this time, but we have seen nothing before quite so original as this idea of absorbing races. Something about Presses. Our old friend Mr. Rappelyea yesterday brought us an admirable and ingenious little proof-press, which he kindly tendered us as a present, at least so far as his labor is concerned. It is of his own invention, and works just as well as any of the patented proof-presses, which are sold at enormous prices in comparison to their real cost. This is very simple, strong, and not liable to get out of order. It works admirably, and answers the whole object ofit3 make. Mr. R. has exhibited a great deal of ingenuity in the manufacture of different kinds ot machinery, especially for the manufacture of tobacco. We have given him an order, the success of which we shall in due time renort to our brother typoes. We have long believed that a simple and cheap press could be made, to take the place of the ordinary hand press, saving the expense and vexation of a roller boy, and performing more work than the old mixhine in the same time and in better style. Our old friend feels confident he can accomplish the job, and we believe he can. We believe he can make a press to be worked by one personi which will do nearly twice the work of the ordinary hand press, and cost not half the price. He has the liberty of trying at our expense, so confident are we of his success. In the mean time we thank him for his kindness in supply, ing us with a proof-press. A Nation Without a Language. The Swiss, being descended from French, Italian, and German refugees, have no distinctive language of their own. Four languages, Italian, German, Retier and French, are spoken by different portions of the nation, and three of them German, French and Italian, are declared by law to be national languages. German-is spoken by seventy per cent of the people, French by twenty-three per cent; Italian by five per cent, and Ketier Dy two per cent, ui uus pop ulation about three-fifUn ar Protestant and , two-tUlh Catholic.

He boldly proclaims there is but one vital, ! living issue before the people Freedom or Slavery." It is not to be expected that a man who cramps the whole vitality of the Union into a single question, and who is determined to see no other "living issue" but this question, and can neither look above nor be- j yond it will recognize even the existence of ; a party which will not touch nor even regard j as a proper subject for agitation, the question upon which he is a monomaniac. We can as sure Mr. Garber that there is an American party in this State, and that without its aid, the ticket nominated by the "People's Party Convention" may have no expectation of success. It ill becomes him, if he earnestly desires the "People's Party" should be successful at the October election, to insult those upon whom more or less dependence must be placed for this success. While some of us are laboring to bring about that unity , which alone can secure a victory over Old Lineism, he is endeavoring to defeat, the object, or if be has not that motive directly in view, the effect is the same. We deem his course unwise and impolitic, unless he is secretly laboring for the Old Line party. The "People's Party'.' will suffer more injury from such friends as the editor of the Courier, than from all its enemies. Men "run hard on one question, no matter what that question is, can be of but little practical uenefit to a party. But we trust the efforts of the American party to realize the old maxim "in unity there is strength," will not be weakened by the labors of either Old Line editors or Fu sion editors to prevent such the formation of such unity. - ; Solitary and Arrest. A man named Frank Rock was arrested by our officers last Wednesday in Lamasco, on the charge of robbing Mr. Pfinkston of sixty-two dollars. He was examined by Squire Walker, and in default of $1000 bail, committed to jail. The facts of the case are these: Mr. P. lives four miles above Evansville, on a farm in "the bottom." ' He had recently sold his corn, but instead of keeping the money in his house, had disposed of all but the above sum. Last Saturday night a litrle after 10 o'clock after he and his wife had retired, he was called by name from without. 'He inquired who was there, and the name of a neighbor was given in reply. . The outsider plead for admittance, stating he was nearly frozen. The door was opened, when Mr. P. saw he had been deceived. While picking up a stick of wood, this man Rock, according to his statement, knocked him down twice with a pair of brass-knuckles, while a companion by threats with a knife, prevented Mrs. P. from calling help, and made her go back to bed. She plead for the life of her husband, and told them they might have all the money in the house if they would spare his life. The key of a trunk was given them, and they went to where it was hidden, evidently knowing its position, and hauled it from its place of concealment. They took out the money, and deliberately sat down before the embers and counted it, holding downMr. P. by the hair of his head. The villains were evidently afraid to trust each other to count the money. After this, they threatened the woman to make her give up more, but she explained why there was not more in the housi to their satisfaction. They declared they belonged to a large gang, and if Mr. and Mrs. P, peached on them, their house would be burn ed down and he would be shot. These are the circumstances. Rock's companion is supposed to be named Brooks, and has not yet been ar rested. " This was a most daring outrage, and it is to be hoped the other villain will be se cured 07"The Italian journals have frequently de scribed in tonus of enthusiasmhe performances of a blind Sardinian shepherd, named Picco, on an instrument they call the Tibia-Pastoral; to wit a half penny whistle of the rudest and most primitive construction, with only three holes, and its length not exceeding that of a finger; yet upon this barbarous instrument he has performed at the San Carlos and La Scala, and the Neapolitan and other papers affirm that the blind musician draws sounds as dulcet as those of the sweetest flute, and that his execution upon it is still more marvellous. This poor Italian minstrel has arrived in Paris, and was to perform at the Italian Opera. Military. Some gentlemen in Syracuse, N. York, desirous, no doubt, of getting a little money for themselves and glory for the military, propose to give a watch worth $500 to the best drilled company in the United btates, not in the army. The inducements are as follows: ' ' : "' ; The likeness of the , winning company will be engraved upon one side of the "watch, and that of the officers upon the reverse the captain to own the watch.

Let me rather entreat them to write anonymously. They cannot lose much charby writin? anonvmouslr. while thev mav beCome general butts of ridicule by writing over thejr own names. I have entirely too much m0jCsty to appear over my real namet.,, I have the warning before before me of nine gentlemen who have exposed themselves to very general contempt and ridicule by doing precisely what they have advised me to do. Incog is directly charged M ith making at least four misstatements. All I can say is, that if in my former communication I made a single statement not true, it was unintentional on my part, and probably because I thought statements so generally passing about this community as facts, could not well be untrue. I shall, briefly as possible, touch upon these and other things. I believe my" eight amusing friends are slightly mistaken as to the Mayor's remark, which is said to have brought about this sale proposition. I have if from about as good authority as the Mayor himself, that his remark was if the city had of control the engines at that fire, the Court House would not have burned down. But his remark is immaterial. He was not the city of Evansville, nor was Mr. DeGarmo the Washington Fire Co., or its engine either. The inference is, that in snatching so greedily at a remark made by the May or to one individual, and on the strength of this at once making a formal proposition to sell their engine, the company showed themselves exceeilinghj anxious to make a sale. Yet, unininterested and indifferent individuals, they do not want to sell at all, and never did! These gentlemen say the reputation of no other engine 'has ever reached the same height." I presume the reputation of no other ever will, unless it be owned by eight just such sick and verdant gentlemen as those who purchased this, and equally as ambitious to figure in newspapers. But they adduce as proof of this reputation, that she once threw 228 feet and some inches. They should have said, that when she made this throw she was supplied by three engines, which makes just all the difference in tho world. We have seen specimens of her throwing here. She may once have been a good engine, but I am talking about what she is now. She has made no such throw as the above here, and she cannot make it and I'll wager my hat, that after making a fair thrdw, she cannot be taken a square distant and be made to throw half as far as her first effort. Something will be out of order by that time! I know the ol 1 craft. I know that she was the only row-boat engine ever owned by Cincinnati, and the only one that ever will be owned there. She was a costly experiment and failed, and so signal was the failure, that she was sold to simple gentlemen of Evansville for less than half her original est. I was in error in stating she had been sold to a corporation, proved a failure and returned a most grievous error, for she was only sold to Nashville, tried at Cincinnati, and not taken j away! I do hope my informant has got hold of the facts this time. Finally, I am charged with doing very wrong in calling her old and worthless. Now one fact about this. Messrs. Hunnel and Walker were appointed a committee to visit Cincinnati to purchase an engine. They bore a letter of introduction to Mr. Miles Green wood, Chief Engineer. Mr. G. told this com mittec he would not recommend this engine to any corporation; that she was too heavy and old. For that reason, because from Mr. G.'s observation, made in the face of the fact that Cincinnati was strongly desirous of selling this engine, they knew she must be worthless for all practical purposes. After circumstances have proven that Mr. G. knew (lie engine. Thus much have I said, Mr. Editor, in justifi cation of my former positions. If the engine is worth anything, and when I say worth anything I mean worth anytning like the sum paid for her she has yet to prove it. She has not done so here. Even if she could succeed in making one squirt of 250 feet, that alone would not establish the fact. She must prove that she is not liable to get out of order fre quently that she will not have to visit the engine shop after every fire that she is relia ble in time of danger. Let her prove this, and that she is really a good engine, and Incog will withdraw his objections. But as it is, judg ing by her performances here, I say she is worthless for all practical good more than worthless, for she is occupying room that might be better filled, and engaging the atten tion of a band of strong and willing men, who might be interested in a better engine. But, Mr. Editor, I do not know that these remarks are necessary. A committee of five disinterested citizens, appointed to investigate evejy thing appertaining to the engine, have reported unanimously against the purchase. If aft?r this, the Council should Tote for the

'purchase, there would be no epithet too etrong

to apply to their unwise course. They would be made to feel the indignation of an insulted and outraged community. J. Now, I charge, that these gentlemen instead j of having no desire to sell this engine as they i state, have proven by all their actions they .ar nnyiniA in Ainnnaa nf ha Vmf rVov "-f" w .w, uu w..j ..... never intended to exrmnrl th monpv nwMjarv - r- . for her purchase without expectation of reime . bursement I charge, that if the engine had 0 , --v ...v kq.uv COme UP tO expectations thev intended "ivin" w Mpvwuuua, tucjf iiu.euut.u0iviii0 a lancy public trial, and then take up a seneJ r ' v f " n"" ral subscription to reimburse the eentlemen r 4 jJv.uvii..ui,ii Who Purchased her r I charge, that when they found they could nou ao mis, mey uenoerat v set to work; to make a sale of her to the city, and that in their zealous efforts to affect this sale, they have used trickery and bullying. 1 charge, that knowing the report of the Committe, they were determined if possible to pass the sale through Council over this report, and went to the Council chamber for that purpose. I charge, that instigated by the one man who leads them by ! the nose, and who has been attempting in this ! affair to lead the Council in the same manner, ! they have rightly secured the condemnation! , . . . . I of the community for tryin to force the city J 0 J J into the purchase of this engine. I charge, that this man made a gross and wilful. mistatement before Council, as to the cost of this engine, to obtain the city's endorsement to his and others notes. I charge, that the whole ill feeling existing in the Fire Department at this time, is owing to the starting of this particular company under the peculiar circumstances which marked its origin and progress, and that those men who first conceived the scheme, as one great object started it to injurs the other companies, and that they did injure those companies. These charges I make deliberately, and I dare those against whom they are made to contradict them. When they do this, it will be time to bring forward the proof. I have it ready. These gentlemen need have no delicacy in this case about contending with an anonymous writer. They would not suffer in character, by personal familiarity with me, and if they do by public intercourse, it will be their own fault. As for Mr. Ivratz's communication I think his mother does know he's out. So great a calf could scarcely be absent from the side of his mother without her knowledge. incog! SPECIAL NOTICES.
