We publish this morning the call for a State Convffntfori pf ;the Union men of Kentucky. We direct the at tention of "our '.Kentucky' readers to it. While the true and faithful loy alists of Southwestern Kentucky are greatly in the .nuAority, it is no cause why they &hdul'd"not: be represented in' the Stata Convention:, it is rathcr the greater reasouwhythey should be there, and counsel with their friends, and participate. the nomination of State officers. ""The' Union" "men of these cbuntiie will fail id their duty to the State and Nation if they do not send uy ;de;legatrqos-of intelligent and fearless men, who are "willing to iv'oV itheir pticiples( jit, has be6n J decided with great unanimity at Frankfort that the time for half-way ipetir;end conciliatidn has" passed,' ind that the Union party of the State should maintain an independent and thorough. loyal organization upon th'e' Vbasis ,',pf-? the..' .. Constitutional Amendmeut nd, the support" of Con gress. The Navigation of Green Klvcr- Im v - nnrtnnf tn V tr a n c ir 1 1 1 a - ' 1 PUIIUHI V IM I MHO f ltlV The Governor of Kentucky, in his Message to the Legislature, recommended the sale or lease of thetjfreen River and Kentucky River navigation improvements; and the subject is now before the committees of that body, to the end that proper legislation may

be devised to carry out the recommendation. , This is a matter of much importance to Evansville, as the trade of that fertile region is now and should continue one of the most valuable which we receive. Anything which tends to improve the navigation of that stream and develop the resources of that valley, so rich in i its agricultural and mineral resources and tnanu facturing facilities, should receive hearty encouragement from our business men and citizens generally. The State expenditures for the improvement of Green and Barren rivers has been over eight hundred thousand dollars; and yet from 1&40 to 18G5, the current expenditures have exceeded the receipts by $4,800, being an aclual expense to the State, in addition to the? interest-on the first enormous cost for the Improvement. ; i. Jsoiic, . ?

Upon" this showing the State will do wellif it can induce any responsible parties to receive the works. It is only the almost uniform history of improvement managed by public officials., In the hands of a private company it would doubtless be made, to pay a handsome "revenue, and be kept in much more navigable, condition. Gen, D.'C. BtJELL, now a citizen of Muhlenburg County," Ky., who is interesting himself in the mattery has Written" letter.'giviDg eoineVery cogent reasons why the. recommendation of phe Gov

ernor should be promptly carried out.' It is contended,- by General Bdell and the friends of the measure, that the) improvements,' under the manage'-. ment of private enterprise, would result in imparting new life to the sections coursed by this stream, and result in profitable development of fine mineral and agricultural regions of our State. In the hands of private parties, every effort would be put forth to build up towns, manufactories, open mines, concentrate and ship to market all the surplus products of the country contiguous to the river. The interest of parties will lead them to offer inducements for colonizing, settling, and developing the rich valley of Green and Barren Rivers, and add to the wealth and population of the State. The interest and enterprise of private parties would soon double triple and probably- quadruple the business on the river. BowlingGreen, Greenville, Rumsey and other towns and villages' could be made to take on a new life, -and still other towns and villages i would spring up along the banks of the rivers. :, The increased, population and .increased yalue" of : property would, repay the State for all her. outlay. irY '. j ;,re. earnestly hope that the Legtsla-. its present session, take' such action upon! the sulaect'aa '. wilLrestore to 'aol tive. ife. (jtrXd vigor. theast.tesQurcea of this region, which are unsurpassed by feytvif any, of the valleys of the West.. And it is important to the commercial interests of Evansville that we keep:awake to whatever is done, and stand ready to assist in all movements which tend to the .Improvement of the navigation of Green River and the development of its material resources. 2 S ; FJIOM Till! CAPITAJL. ' Indianapolis, Jan. 22, 18G7. Editors Journal : n." The Senate met in session during the forenoon. . T I The House met at 9 A. M. A' large number of bills were introduced and appropriately referred. The Committee of Ways and Means reported back the Senate bill appropriating $75,000 to pay the expenses of this General Assembly, with amendments "appropriating various sums for the maintenance of penal and benevolent institutions. Nearly two hundred bills have been presented in both Houses since the session opened. 4 Peele, of Wayne, read an extract from the Indianapolis correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette, charging bribery and-corruption on officers and attaches ;of the.A Legislators Eand" moved the appointment of a special committee to investigate the subject. After debate, fcY; Pe ele, Hughes and Kizer, frVKV proposed an amendment . Being required" to reduce his amendment to writing, and that feat being beyond the reach. of his accomplishments, he withdrew the proposed amendment, but. continued to disgust the House with an . issue- of vile slang in his usual vein. The resolution was finally amended so ,as . to require the committee to first examine the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette under oath, and in this shape it was passed. On motion of Newcomb, of Marion, the House went into committee of the whole on the Governor's Message, Mr. IIiggins in the Chair. Newcomb offered a resolution, appropriately referring to the several portions of the Governor's Message, which, after some debate, was adopted, and the Committee rose and reported to the House. Another Congressional apportionment bill was presented. It makes the First District the same as now, less Dubois and Martin. Referred to Committee of Congressional Apportionment, j On motion of the gentleman from Vigo, the special order was taken up. It was Joint Resolution No. 2, instructing our Senators and requesting our Representatives, in Congress, to use their influence to have the interest bearing portion of our public debt paid first. Muqhes,- of Monroe,

spoke against the resolution. Its passage would be useless. The Secretary of the Treasury had given conclusive evidence of the greatest ability as a financier. No Finance minister, since 'Albert' Gallatin, had displayed guch ability.. 1 i Belford spoke in favor of the resolution. Hedenounced McCuLLpcir, a3 the worst' enemy the" nation " ever .hr.d.j ?If his policy "were not reversed, the Republic would be ruined and the party hurled from power. The Secretary of : the Treasury was a stock jobber in the money market. His policy is to strike the hard-pan at one blow of the pick and if he persists in hurrying the resumption of specie payment, he will bring ruin and desolation on the land, and the Union party will be flat on its back in 18G8. He had no respect for McCdlloch as a financier or a politician. McFadden, of Cass, spoke in vindication of Secretory McCulloch. He favored the speedy return to hard money. There is gold and silver enough in the country. We should not legislate for parties, but for the good of the country. t Shuet spoke against the policy of McCulloch. He thought that the people of Indiana could not influence Hugh McCulloch, nor the little drunken luminary around which he revolved. He earnestly favored the resolution. He accused McCulloch of spleen to kill off the National Banks, and then to revive the old Bank of the State of Indiana, with himself at its head. He was opposed

to McCulloch and all he had done. KizEr, who' claims that he is one of the most faithful of the " venereal " Democracy,' made a v characteristic I speech, applauding McCulloch's policy. " Hugh McCulloch,' he said," had. more honor in one day than the gentleman, from Elkhart, and all JEJlkhart County, .ever had, ji ; jbiu" ' Mr. Hughes spoke again against the resolution.1 We are attempting to take charge of matters that legitimately belong to othei3. If the' majority in Congress can not attend to this matter, we can not be of great Bervic o"ihem. 2-Mr Johnson: did not appoint Mr.; McCulloch.. He was Mr: Lincoln's appointee, and he is still the accomplished financier as when he took charge of that Department. 1 No 'stain 'of ' corruption had ever, rested upon his garments. : He defended him from the .charges of stock -gambling and gold speculations. Such charges ought- not to be made on this floor. Could the gentlemen prove their charges? If called before the Committee of Investigation now in session at Washington, cbrJd they substantiate such charges? Do the people of Indiana oppose specie payment? Are they opposed to having solid money in their pockets, as in the good old times?" . : CBANEj-pf Vigo, 6poke effectively in favor of the resolution. After some further debate, the resolution was made the' special order for next Tuesday at two o'clock. At 12 M. at which hour I close this letter the House will proceed to the election of United States Senator. I will telegraph the result to-night. M. T. . ,'.-. v j j " " "' 1 t i V.KENTUCKY IJilOX STATE C0.WEXAt Frankfort, Tuesday, Feb. 2f, 1867. Wuereas, The Union members of the Kentucky Legislature, and many of the prominent Union men from various parts of the State, met in tho Senate Chamber in Frankfort, on the 9th of January, 1867, and passed resolutions placing the Union party of Kentucky in harmony with the great Union party of the Nation, and calling a State Convention to nominate a full ticket of State officers, to be voted for at the approaching August election; A State Convention of the Union party of Kentucky, favoring the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as proposed by Congress, is hereby called to meet at Frankfort, Kentucky, on Tuesday, February 2G, 18G7, for the purpose of a full organization of that party, and the nomination of a full State ticket for the August election. It is earnestly recommended that meetings be held at once in every county in the State, and delegates appointed to the Union State Convention. This general notice is given By order of the Union Meeting. O. W. OSBORNE, ORNAMENTAL, SIGN and BANNER a i.i. Kiwna or iir u:TTiti. XJl on Ulass done to order, at 27 Locust StareeU JunUdtim.
