They contain a Statement of the tax paid by our City National Banks, Hog statistics. Our Special New York Letter, and reports from the important Markets of America and Europe. Tte National Bunk Tax. - .We publish this morning .in bur Commercial columns a statement of he amount of taxes paid into the Government Treasury, by - the . three National Banks of : this city. "We have two objects in view in the publi cation fil'st, as an item of the financial business of the city, and, second, to silence the ignorant and false clamor which is made by Democratic newspaper and speakers about the exemptions of our ' National Jianks from , taxation. .;; The ,fact" established by,, the exhibit ' this , morning, is thatt the National , .Banks of Evansville alone are paying more money, in the ' way of taxes, into the National Treasurythan all the Democratic politicians, io the.State -of Indiana. .The men who make the most complaint about; the. enormous burdens of taxation are the gentry who pay the least, if anything, whateVeiv We hope id see the Statement published by our Democratic City cotemporaries, i),, 1 New Music We thank Hon. Will. Ccmback, President of the Senate and Acting Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, for a beautiful duett for two soprano voices, the poetry of which he is the author. The music is by Mrs. Sallie M. Parser, of Greensburgh, an accomplished lady of high musical culture. This beautiful song is worthy to be sung at every fireside in the land. The title of the song is "Pray for Me," and is published by J. A. Butterfield & Co., Indianapolis. We copy the first lines of the poem: " When heavy clouds of doubt and gloom Hang o'er me like a pall ; When faith is weak and hope is faint, " And in despair I fall : When 'mid the angry waves I'm tossed On Life's tempestuous sea. Lift up you hearts, ye faiihful souls, 1 . And pray, oh. pray for met" , : t Revolutionary Spirit at Indianapolis. Our special dispatches from Indianapolis this morning are important. They indicate that the Democracy in the Legislature have resolved, if they can not dictate to the majority the character of the legislation, that they will adopt the revolutionary measure of breaking a quorum, either by bolting or resigning, This can be accomplished if seventeen out of the nineteen Democrat.3 in, the Senate unite in the movement, and our correspondent has what he deems authentic information that eighteen members are pledged to each other to do' so. If they carry out their threats, we are fully satisfied that the people will hols! them' to a strict account. ,. If the Democratic leaders of Indiana are desirous of more completely and forever bringing their party beneath the waves: of popular condemnation, the course indicated is the one which will surely accomplish that result., The Apportionment bill, which we published tm Saturday, is in the main just, and we find no valid cause for stepping the course of legislation' in this revolutionary manner. When the former Apportionment bill was passed the Democrats were in power, and they so arranged the Districts as to gi ve the Whigs only one Congressman, wheu the aggregate opposition vote was proportionately as large ; -yet the Whigs submitted to it. They should learn a lesson from the history which their own party has made. One of the Democratic organs of this city, in an editorial on the subject yesterterday, says: Abuse of the Republicans in this matter is simple nonsense they are only doing what they are entitled tq do. Were the Democrats in power, perhaps they might see it in the same light, and be as desirous of giving that "equal representation to the people of the several districts," which would insure its continued Democratic power. And this is tho view which every reasonable Democrat should taku o it. The Democracy, in caucus, ha v ' a ) so agreed upon an apportion t

which they present as a substitute lor the one offered by the Republicans. We have both of the maps before us, and we challenge any honest man to say that the Democratic arrangement has any advantages of contiguity of territory, or , community of interest, over that presented by the Republicans. Of it the Lafayette Courier justly says: ; : : ., The Democracy, have fixed up an apportionment bill of their own, and we shall not be surprised if they get it through! Itf is a beauty. It makes The map of Indiana look very much like the battle .of Gettysburg, or the fight in the Wilderness. . Had Bayless Hanna dipped a spideriri a red inn bottle and sent him on a skirmish with a horsefly all over the map he could not have procured a more" unsightly' looking apportionment. The Union plan, on tlje othee hand, is in regular lines, and right angles. The counties are connected in regular, order and perfect, uniformity.' . We do not believe the Republicans in the Legislature will suffer themselves to be driven from their purpose to make a just, and equitable apportionment by these Copperhead threats. Hughes's Bolting Bill will Come up to-day, and we hope will pass the Senate, and that will settle the question of bolting. If they , want to resign, let them do so," and the people will send better men in their places, who will.be willing, to submit to the rule of the majority. ' 1 v 1

The Library Association. We publish this morning on the second page a communication from an intelligent gentleman of this city, on the subject of Libraries, which is worthy the perusal of all our readers. Tha suggestions which are -made in reference to the Evansville Library Association appear to us, in the main, practical, and such as should be carried into effect as far as compatible with the Articles of Incorporation. One thing is very evident to any one who has given the subject any attentionthat, our Library Association needs an' infusion of new life, and, possibly, a re-organization. It' has not accomplished what its original founders designed it should, and what it bid fair in the first years of its. history to attain. During the war, there were some causes for it3 decline, or, at least, its 'want of progress, but such reasons, do not now exist. It is not creditable , to - the intelligence , and commercial importance of Evansville that' it should longer remain in its present languishing condition'. The city which boasts of the first School system in the State, should not allow a Public Library to die for want of support. ! ' ........... The Association doubtless needs money which is indispensable to its success. But there is something which it needs more than money. It needs life, it needs more of the interest and sympathy of the people, it needs pop ularization. The Communication is in the right direction. It attempts to awaken the public to the value and importance of such an Association, and the credit which it will reflect upon the community, as well as the good it will do. The suggestion that the ladies take the matter in hand is a good one. They could doubtless in the way indicated 'do much to relieve 1 its . depleted finances; but their, interest in the movement ould b of greater value. They would thus be the means offdirecting public attention more generally to the Library, and would, we doubt hot," lead our citizens to build it up. and establish it on a popular and substantial foundation. It is worthy of their aid. The poor are to be (ied and clothed, it is true; ana the churches are not to be neglected.' But if we would provide a place of healthful and profitable amusement for the young, and useful entertainment for all, we must not let the Library Association languish, and eventually die. We hope the subject will be agitated until measures are inaugurated, which will place the Evansville Library Association in a more healthy and prosperous existence. The Chicago papers, and the public generally, since the drawing, are satisfied that the Crosby Opera House Lottery was a wicked humbug, a pure gambling cheat, whereby the proprietor made several hundred thousand dollars, and the ticket hol lers, even the lucky ones, received gifts hardly more valuable, with few exceptions, than are distributed by Gomez, the reputed owuer of the "Educated Pig." The Tribune of that city says: "It is our opinion decidedly that there was nothing iu the attendant circumstances of the late Opera house rafle, or art. association as it was delicately termed, to nvike it any more or less ' i 1 lt imHiuir opera tiou on a large --, ' iti' 1 in. violation of law

and to the prejudice of good morals." It is generally believed that the reported drawing of the Opera House by Lee, and the reported sale for $200,000, is all gammon. . It is stated that Potter Palmer, one of the wealthiest merchants of Chicago, had previously offered Mr. Lee $350,000 cash. The result of this gigantic affair will, it is loped, have the effect to pftt a stop to such enterprises, which have a very deleterious effect upon the-public, begetting-a spirit for chance mvesnnents which leads to the greater evils of pure gambling. ,

, One of the , meanest , acts of, the Administration' is 'the insult lately offered to Nr. MoTL'f.r, our Minister at Vienna, through , the Secretary .of State. , Sorje low-bred American, having enjoyed the hospitalities of theMinister, wrote Mr, Sewaud a letter, giving wbst he claims to be the con. versation vhich occurred at his table. The Secretary of State sent a opy of the letter to ; Mr. Motley demanding an explanation, who denies all the essential allegations; but he was a gettleman of too much . self-respect and good breeding, to submit to the insui't of the Secretary, and therefore tendered his resignation. .That was just what the President desired, as it provided a good place for Cowas, who had just been rejected by the people of his State for , his treachery to the party. The Junction Eating House. We find an item in the Vinrcnnes Gazette, which will be good news to the traveling public of Evansville: We will state,, for the advantage of the traveling community, that. the Junction House has changed hands and will be fitted up in complete order. The property is now owned by the well kuowu Capt. Mass. . We will guarantee that the Captain will make a great improvement in that establishment, and meet the wants of travelers in a satisfactory manner. We know him to have been one of the best judges of a good " square meal " there was in the Union army,' and he can't do otherwise than 'set a. good table for his friends and the public' The Nashville Press and Times has the following hit upon the Presidential Moses: ,' Moses and the Children of Is rael.- A considerable number of eclored cittzens occupied the northem gallery of the House of Representatives, yesterday, and listened with apparent interest to the proceedings. A portrait of the President hangs in tae centre of the gallery. A pious, Clod-fearing member, looking up, observed that the gallery looked like a panorama of the children of Israel crossing the Eed Sea with Moses in the van. AEW ADVERTISEMENTS. A.
