ADD. H. SANDERS, EDITOB. CITY OF EVANSVILLK THURSDAY MORNING: .JUNE 12 FOR PRESIDKttT, . MILLARD FILLMORE, Of NEW YORK. FOR YICK PRESIDENT, ANDREW JACKSON DONELSON, ' OF TEXNKSREE. Who is the Falsifier? The Sheriff's organ disputes every position of our editorial in Monday's issue relative to the proceedings of the Stringtown Convention, even so far as to denying that Lockhart was there "attending to his personal interests," and to bare-facedly state, that at this Convention "there was no movement made either in favor oracainst Judre Law!!" Our information came entire?; from Democrats who were in at tendance at the Convention, and if there have been "lies" told on the subject by any other paper than the Enquirer, the responsibility belongs to these Democrats. We arc satisfied that not single statement contained in our article was incorrect and more especially that particular one so objected to by our colemporary, as the organ of the "soul" involved, that ;,the Sheriff rather led the Convention by the nose." It will be observed, that the one man organ In its article of yesterday warmly supports LockMrt and this in the face of a late abusive article against us for charging that paper favored Lockhart. It has pretended to be strictly neutral between the candidates for the nomination. This particular article aptly illustrates the extent of its neutrality. As the organ of the Sheriff, and of nobody else, accuses us of being very much opposed to the nomination of Lockhart, we here take occasion to say it is entirely mistaken so far as our preferences are politically considered. We honestly believe that of the several candidates whose names have been mentioned in connection with the nomination of the Democracy of this District for Congress, Judge Lockhart is the only man who can be beaten, without a stronger effort is made than we have any idea will be undertaken. Politically, we shall be rejoiced to see him nominated. As a citizen, having deeply at heart the welfare of the people of this District, we should rather see Law nominated, because if elected, we should feel that the First District of Indiana, would be for the first time for many years, represented in Congress by a man of ability, or at least of ordinary intelligence and influence. Hon. Oliver P. Morton, Will address the people of Vanderburgh coun ty on Friday, the 20th inst, at Evansville, as will be seen by notice. The place of meeting will hereafter be made known. J udge Morton is a stranger in this part of the State, and we trust he will meet with that cordial welcome due an honored guest, and especially the man who is now distinguished as the People's candidate for Governor of Indiana. We are sure they will be well pleased with the man, and well entertained by Hie speaker. His other engagements will probably prevent him visiting this part of the State again during the canvass. Therefore no man who will have the privilege of casting a vote for Governor the coming election, should neglect the opportunity of hearing an expression of the political views of the People's candidate. Judge Morton is said to bo an able speaker, and we are sure those who have the pleasure of hearing his speech, will be highly pleased, however much they may differ with him politically. Judge Morton will address the citizens of Spencer county at Rockport on the 17th, and of Gibson county, at Princeton, on the 18lh. Give him big crowds! (t"7 George D. Trent'ce, of the Louisville 'Journal, and Add Sanders, of the Evansville I Journal, are charming specimens of the genus ! .homo, to be engaged in the work of traducing Kentucky gentlemen. But it's well. 1'raisk from such a source would damn a saint. Lou. Bern. Both Prentice and Sanders have damned many a "saint" of the Sag-Nicht party, but the object has not generally been accomplished by praise. If Harney be a saint, he probably best knows hjno the process is performed, as whether praise or condemnation were used in his ease, the question of general demnition in public opinion is not doubtful. Hard Pushed. A late number of the State Sentinel contained a letter signed by Thos. Dean, soundly berating" a People's Com ention held in Grant county, and abusing those who figured in it. Mr. Dean publishes a letter in the State Journal in which he declares he never wrote any such letter, and that his name was forged in signing it to any such rascally oeument. The Sentinel is certainly hard poshed for something out of which to to manufacture a little political capital. Such tricks as .this will doubtless be common with it during the .campaign. Fise Flock. Through the polite attention of Mr. Jacob P. Dunn, we have received a sack of sug flour manufactured at his mills. It was made from blue stemmed white wheat of his own raising, and the flou' is a compliment both to -the wheat and to the mills which ground it. We have not yet had an opportunity ?f trying this flour, but judging from its appea ranee and what we have heard from those who have, tried it, and the reputation of the brand, we sxe .sure no better flour is brought to the market. Mr. Dunn has this flour for sale at Mr. Hood's grocery on Second street. Families would do well to give it a trial. (gr Owing to the length of tie School Report and Council Proceedings, we kil to give to-day our usual variety of original matter.

Third Annual Beport of the Public Schools of

Evansville. To the Hon. the Mayor and Common Council of the City of Evansville, and citizens generally: The Trustees of the Public Schools of the city of Evansville would otfer the following re port of their condition and progress lor tue School year ending the first of July, 1S56. This is the third year of our Public Schools, and thus far they "have been highly prosperous and satisfactory. Less than three years ago, the Public Schools went into operation with about 1200 children in the city, and with less than 300 enrolled in our schools. Now we have over 1800, between the ages of live and twenty-one, and this year there have been enrolled in our Schools over 900 children, and the interest manifested, and the advancement of the scholars have been fully equal to the increase in numbers, and we can now boast of as good schools as can be found m Indiana. Children heretofore idling and loafing about our streets, vieing with each other in mischief and impudence, and measuring strength of muscle upon less vigorous urchins, are now measuring intellect and competing for the highest honor in school. We feel highly gratified in being able to report that the prosperity and prospects of our schools have at no time been so flattering as at the present. For the first two years we labored under many and great difficulties and disadvantages. We had neither school rooms, school furniture, or school apparatus, at all suitable for our schools. The city of Evansville did not own a school house or school room of any kind within her boundaries. But with a promptness, zeal and unanimity, highly commendable, the city has furnished the means to complete within the past year, one of the most convenient, substantial and capacious, if not the best school building in the State, larjre enough to accommodate from 80O to 900 children, with six large well ventilated school rooms and a recitation room attached to each. This building is designed for six distinctschools, with from 12 to IS teachers. It is covered with slate, and is placed in the middle of block 7, in the Eastern Enlargement. The land belonging to the school is 30'J feet in length, well fenced, affording ample play ground for all the scholars. The ground has been procured at a cost of about 4,000; the cost of the building and improvements have been $10,000, making the expense of the school lot and building 14,000, most of which has been paid by the city, during the past year; and for the erection of this building, now the proudest ornament of the city, we are greatly indebted to John S. Hop kins, then Mayor of the city; through his energy and devotedncss, every contract was promptly met. But while we with gratitude commend the promptness and unanimity of all in furnishing the means fur good buildings, and gool schools we must as heartily condemn the heedless, thoughtless course, pursued by too many parents, in not only permitting, but even requiring their children tobe absent from school upon the most flimsy excuse. Our schools are so graded, that every recitation in any school, is one step forward; that missed, the scholar is behind his class; two recitations missed, the scholar, if not very ambitious, becomes disheartened and discourag-jd. He cannot learn or understand the lessons of his class, having lost the former lessons, he thereby loses all interest in his studies, dislikes his teacher and his school, and leaves in disgust, to become a loafer and nuisance about the streets, and in the opinion of the parents the teacher is not fit to teach school. All this comes from John or Susan being required to remain from school to take care cf .the baby while the mother make3 a few calls, or from still more flimsy excuses. If parents would consider that each recitation in school forms a full complete link in that great cnain extending from the Primary to the High School, and that "from such a chain, whatever link you strike, tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike," they would assuredly put forth some little exertion to have their children more punctually and regularly at school. Without excep ion, our best scholars are the most punctual and regular in their attendance, advance the most rapidly, and they and their parents are the best pleased with our schools, while those irregular in their attendance are dissatisfied and fault-finding, and their parents with them. They injure themselves; they injure the schools; they injure the Teacher, and increase his labor four-fold. If parents do not correct this irregularity and abscnee from school, we shall be compelled, hereafter, to exclude many from cchool. They m-ty claim the right to do as they please with their chil dren, and we shall claim the right to protect our schools from injury and disturbance, and our teachers Irom so much extra labor. Many parents have already-seen the injury to their children, and injustice' to our Schools, by absences, and are correcting the same; hereafter, absence from school, except from absolute necessity, will exclude scholars from school. Scholars absenting themselves from examination will not be received into school thereafter, except upon the most satisfactory reasons. The schools are now well classified, and divided in four grades, as follows: The High School, the Grammar, the Intermediate and the Primary Schools. There are thirteen teachers, three males and ten females, with an average salary to each of less than $340 a year. IIIGII SCHOOL. The High School has been under the charge of Mr. B. P. Snow, a graduate of Bowdain College, Maine,for the past year. He has labored hard unceasingly and successfully, to make this school, what a high school should be, a model school, for admission into which the ambition and energies of all scholars are excited and constantly directed so to be the best scholar in that school, is worthy every exertion. The sfjirwiarti frir arlmissimn in tliic school is a thorough knowledge of reading, spelling, writin- s-eosraphr. mental and writ - ten arithmetic and a good knowledge of grammar. There have been admitted into this school during the year, 51 scholars. The average attendance has been about 40 scholars. The instruction has been thorough and tha; progress and deportment of the scho.ars have , bnpneraUyh.ghlysatis.actory From 20 to ; 30 scholars from the Grammar Schools will be; advanced to the Ihgh School, the comingyear, when an assistant teacher will become noccs-; sary. Ihere has been a superior philosophical and rihnmiivil iinnnrodm nr. n rost or OVftr procured for this school during the past year, we hesitate not to say the best in the State. The services of Mr. Snow have been secured for the next year. BOYS' GRASIMEB SBII00L. The boys' Grammar School has been under the charge of Mr. J. W. Knight, with Miss Emily Ronalds for au assistant. There have been admitted into the school during the year

142 scholars. The average attendance has been about 83. Mr. Knight has been long known here as a laborous and efficient teacher, one who spares neither time or labor to advance his pupils and whose whole energies are devoted to his calling. His school is highly satisfactory both for order and progress. Miss Renolds is an energetic and faithful assistant and will take charge of an intermediate school next year. GIRLS' GUAM 11 ER SCHOOL. The girls' Grammrr School, has been under the charge of Miss Fannie Fisher, with Miss Sarah Fisher as her assistant, during the past year. There have been admitted into this school during the year 105 scholars. The average attendance has been about 76.

Miss Fannie Fisher has had the charjre of this school for two years, and has given entire satisfaction.- She is energetic and devoted to teaching, and has the happy faculty of keeping an orderly school with little or no corporal punishment; her scholars both love and respect her and advance rapidly and understanding. Her assistant is energetic and devoted to her duties, and has riven rood satisfaction. The scholars in this and in the boys Grammer School have been taught to think, which is more than half of an education. ; boys' intermediate school. : The boys' Intermediate School has been under the charge of Mr. Thos. Redmond, with Miss Elizabeth Haff, as assistant. There have been admitted into this school during the year 144 scholars. The average attendance has been about 90. Mr. Redmond has kept an orderly school and his pupils have been well trained, and advanced as rapidly as any scholars attending our schools, and we think he has generally given good satisfaction. Mr. Redmond has resorted to corporal punishment oftener than is desirable, and hereafter such punishment will not be allowed except in extreme cases. If parents would half govern their children at home, and not permit them to bo prowling about the corners of the streets, absorbing vulgarity,impudcnce and wickedness till mid night from the lowest dregs and excrescences of society, corporal punishment would not be required at all in our schools. Miss Half has been a faithful assistant and has given good satisfaction. GIliLS' INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL. The girls' Intermediate School has been un der the charge of Miss 11. S. Clark with Miss Anna Chandler for assistant. There has been admitted into this school during the j'ear. ICO scholars. The average attendance has been about 87. Miss Clark has had charge of this school from the commencement of our Public Schools. This school has made good progress and given general satisfaction, and the children appear to be well satisfied and pleased with their teach ers. Miss Chandler is an energetic and em cient assistant and has had considerable experi ence in teaching. I-niMAUY SCHOOL. This school is composed of small girls and boys, and has been under the charge of Miss C. Hooker, with two assistants, Misses Mary Jane McKay and Eliza Kellogg. There has been enrolled in this school during the year, 228 scholars. The average attendance has been about 130. Miss Hooker has had a good deal of experience in teaching, and has taught a superior school during the past year. With not less than from 130 to 140 sm&ll children constantly under her charge, she has managed to keep a very orderly school, with little corporal punishment. She has labored hard and successfully, and given good satisfaction. Tnis school has exceeded our expectations. Miss Hooker's assistants have both labored hard and given good satisfaction. I'KIMABV SCHOOL, MEDICAL COLLEGE BUILDING. This school is composed of girls and boys, the 3'oungest attending our schools, and has been under the charge of Miss Rachael Street, for the past year. There have been enrolled on this school, 71 scholars. The average attendance has been about 43. This school was established in the Old Medical College building to accommodate the small children below Main street, we not being able to procure a suitable room nearer, and this may well be termed an infant school, as hardly a child knew its letters when admitted. Miss Street is an experienced teacher, and has the confidence of the parents and the love of the children. The Public Schools during the past year have been highly prosperous and successful. Harmon', and good order have prevailed, and our teachers have all labored hard and assiduously, and devoted their best energies for the advancement of the scholars and the promotion of the schools, and we feel gratified that so great success has crowned their efforts, and we trust that such faithful, unremitting labor and exertion will hereafter be appreciated by their pupils, if it by the parents. The Trustees have endeavored to act with impartiality, procuring the best teachers that could be found, and they invite comparison with any schools, teachers or scholars in the State, whether Public or Private. Our aim and that of the teachers from the commencement of our Free Schools, has been to elevate and raise their character and standing so high that the Free Schools of Evansville will become the Lighthouse of the whole city, not only to incite and guide the nobler faculties to higher and stronger efforts, but also to warn the rampant Young Americans of ten now swearing, smoking and fighting about our streets, that there is a distinction in honor and notoriety higher and more valuable than that of becoming God's runaway children, and the loathsome excresence of juvenile vagabonds.

How few ' would be found absent and tardy at school, and how many parents would bo present at all our school examinations.

During the past year some GO children have been transferred from Figeon Township and from I&masco to the city of Evansville for school purposes. The school now requires those transferred from one township to another to pay school tax for the support of the school, to which they are transferred. The Trustees of Pigeon township and of Lamaso, have levied and collected a school tax from those transfered to this city and refuse to pay over tha sum for the benefit of our schools. There has been already one school librar' sent to Pigeon township, and one to each township in the county, and there is now over $1300 worth of books for this township, and although this city ha ; tlnec times as many scholars as any township in the county. The School Trustees have not and cannot have the control of one library, but the Township Trustees must have the control of all the books already here and also those to come, even when they have met the disposition of pay, as the money we are entitled to for educating their children. Two thirds of the money expended for our schools during the past year was raised by direct tax on the property in Evansville, and GO scholars can receive the benefit of the same, without any return from Pigeon Township, except that of her Tiustees having the custody and control of the books which injustice belong to our schools. The expeatei of sustaining ourl'uLlic Schools for the nxt year, w ith the probable increase of scholars and teachers will be about $j70O,C0 The ucticit of this and last year will be 615.46 Slaking the amount required t;315,46 To enable the schools to continue therefore, there must be assessed 15 cents on each 100 in the city.and we respectfully ask that a tax of lo cents on each $100 be assessed for school purposes.
