Pai rish, the murderer of Wires, has been sentenced by the New Albany Circuit Court to imprisonment tor life. The Commertat says the-' Jiry certainly erred on the side of humanity when they did not hang him. The claims allowed by the Morgan Raid Commission amount to $400,000. The Inlanapalis Heralti thinks the claimants will be much older and grayer before they receive the funds. On Wednesday night an elderly lady attempted to jump from a train in motion, in the UrdonJJepot, aIndyapa.oUspiwlen her hoops caught, and she was thrown partly under the cars. She was dragged some distance, but :fortu'nateiy! escaped with only slight hurts. The Commercial says when the Louisville and Jeflersonville bridge In finished ,18 accordance with the plans, "New Albany wlli be one of the most desirable places for a residence in the whole West healthy, quiet, and retired, yel within a few minutes' ride of a large city." Quiet anal relired no doubt of it. 1 The New Albany Ledger says over one thousand fine salmon were caught in the Ohio River, in front of that city, on Tuesday. About one hundred ' person were engaged in catching them. We rather expect they were what the boys used to call blind salmcn." , - . HEMltKVJTEMS.

One cf the great wants long felt and generally acknowledged, not only by our own citizens but by visitors to our city, is a compilation of reliable and comprehensive statistics of the trade, commerce, and manufactures of Evansville, our population, growth, advantages of location, and prospective future. Our merchants who are conversant with the extent of business transacted, and our citizens, who daily see-the thrift and substantial growth, are fully impressed with the important position which Evansville cccup.es; compared with the other cities of Indiana and the West. But away from home there is no city of iiaif its 5ze in the Ohio or Mississippi valley which is so little known. Even in our own State its growth and business arq imperfectly understood. Outside of out" own immediate locality we are met with amazement and incredulity when wet assert that Evansville is the second city in populatiod and the-1ir8 'in commercial importance in Indiana. Throughout the country, except in' a few mercantile circles, whose interest it is to cultivate . intimate relations with our wholesale dealers", our city is almost unknown. Visitors and travelers, in passing through or spending a few days in our midst, are struck with .our prosperity, and yet we have no reliable" data upon which to base our t representations to them of the amount of business and increase of population. WTe have done almost nothing to mate known our importance abroad, except the individual efforts of a few enterprising iri'eYchahts, seeking to push but their trade into new channels. We are ufTerinJ3 greatly jn . the lack pf capiUj ,i;opi. abrpad, . whicJv. would seek .nvcvjncp.t jhece.' if pur , importance w? infer known.

It is the province of the Board of Trade. in its organized capacity to

compile these statisticsa'nd circulate the information -.so. much needed. Only one such lleport has ever been published f in Evansville, and that ten years ago. The present disorganized condition of the Board of Trade, and the absence "of money from its treasury, makes it difficult to accomplish the work so much desired by all. But a project has been devised, by authority of the President ofihe Board, and with, the. hearty approval of , a number of our leading merchants, whereby it is proposed to prepare; complete statistics of trade, manufactures and commerce fo the past year, together with a sketch of the history of -the city, its location and natuial resources, the amount of-building and improvement for the year, an estimate of population and value of real and personal property, and a notice of our social advantages, fcc. It is designed to make it as comprehensive an exhibt of our various interests, resources and prospective future as possible, published in substantial pamphlet or book form, illustrated with a map of the city, with its river snd railroad connections, and also with engravings of the most attractive: of our churches and publio buildings bo that it will , be a work which all our citizens will take a pride and interest in sending abroad. . , A circular explaining in cetail its design and character, has been addressed to a number of our business men, and it is hoped they will give the matter their careful attention, and, if they approve of the project, their substantial aid in such a'.way as will not only greatly benefit the general interests of the city, but also their own private business. Any who desire to see the circular, and have not received it, can obtain a copy by application at the ! Journal Counting Kdotn.. fIt is desijable, if the, work is to be prepared, that it be commenced at once, as the labor necessary to collect arrange,' and prepare for publitia-i I tion. the statistics, is very considera-i ble, and will require care and timej With the hearty co-operation of our mercantile' community, the proposed report will be made a success, and will drrTrrity--"atr--'inealculable amouniot fd0&.XXQ A The Louisville Democrat is sounding an alarm because the "Kentucky negroes propose to hold a convention, in Louisville, some time this month. It says General Brisbin, Geo. D. Blakey. and General Bcrbridge are dangerous men, and In placing themselves at the head of the negro movement, seriously threaten the peace and quiet of Kentucky. It makes a similar charge against a Mr. Woodward, of Louisville, declaring that he becomes as furious at everything savoring of rebels, as a bull at scarlet, and is very active and diligent in exciting the blacks. -J It is strange that no effort is made by the so-called Conservatives to neutralize the influence of such men among the negroes. Wh en the question of . negro suffrage in the South was ' first , mooted the Democracy boastingly affirmed that the former slaves had become so, obedient to the superior intelligence of their late masters, that the latter would -experience ( no. difficulty o voting them as they desired. We believe had a proper course been pursued by the former slave owners, that such a result would have followed the enfranchisement of,the negroes, and the votes of the latter would have been so divided as to occasion the whites no difficulty in maintaining their ascendency in the States. But blinded by the policy of Andrew "Johnson and the position taken by the Democratic party in the Northern States, the whites of the South manifested their hatred for the negro, and their opposition to. his enjoying any ot the rights guaranteed by the " laws of Congress to such an extent as to lose all their influence over him, and force him to unite with LhiaXellows in-close alliance QfoiTeiice and defence. In this attitude, without leaders and anxious for direction by white men, the negroes are easily influenced for good or evil by such men a& 'HuNNicuit aitdl Brisbin, whom, they have come to regard as firm friends, and accept as political advisers. Jlj jaj tirn.e', vICeitncky is compelled to experieuce what has just been witnessed in irgin ia. no blame can attach to any but the Democratic politicians, who by their expressions and actions have demonstrated to the negroes that they regard ' them with a bitter hatred and a persecuting ppirit. -

A T : SATURDAY NOVEMBER 2 1867.

The Evansville Courier is terribly excited over the fact that in the late rebel States' negroes serve' oh juries It makes., frantic appeals to EepublicausLtd.ircow how they would like to have negroes to decide cases in which they were interested, and insists that they should do to others . as they would like to be done by, and all that. The Courier can't remember the fact that loyal white men in this country stand in a different relationship to the Government from - those who rebelled against its authorityand sought to destroy its power; that those who have forfeited all their rights, except to be tried and jmnished for treason, must not. expert the same jprivileges with those who have always obeyed the Jaws. Neither can it remember that 'the "loyalty of the slave, while his master was a traitor, also reversed the positions they occupied previous to the rebellion. The people of this country believe that a loyal black man stands higher in the estimation of the Government . than- a disloyal white man, and they would prefer to have cases in which the interests of the Government are at stake, tried by a loyal black- jury than a disloyal white one. The Courier forgets, also, but the people do not, that oaths were made a mockery by the rebel whites oaths of fidelity to the constitution and laws; oaths not to violate 'paroles; o'athsj hot to give aid and comfort to guerrillas, before and during the war, and that such men are not likely to make very good jurors. When the people of the Northern"- States : in; like manner commit universal and wholesale perjury,' it will be time to talk -of supplanting them as jurymen, not before. The Leuisville Courier is in favor of permitting negroes to testify in the Courts.. The Democrat, of that city, can't' see any very great distinction between admitting negroes to testify than admitting them into the jury bdx It says ' one is as responsible as the other. One capable of deciding what is truth and telling it as a witness, can do the same through a jury verdict; and one incompetent to act as a juryman is unfit to be a witnessi" ' Here,-then, we have one rad ical Democratio paper advocating the privilege of permitting negroes to testify in Courts, and another '. claiming that they should, with the same propriety, be made jurymen. The Courier may side with either -of its friends, we care not which. Not until December next will the place of holding the next Republican National Convention be selected. Chicago, New York, and St. Louis all present their claims ; but as yet no inference even can be drawn as to the respective chances, the members of the body with whom the decision rests being scattered from Maine to California. We very decidedly raise our voices in behalf of Indianapolis. Why not have it there? A more central point than either Chicago, New York or St. Louis. If the following is genuine, it is a blessing in the' shape of a receipt to cure the felon : As soon as the part begins to swell, wrap . the part affected with 'a cloth thoroughly saturated with tincture of lobelia, and the felon is- dead. An old physician says he knows it to. have cured scores of cases, and it never fails if applied in season. The Democratic chances for the nomination against Grant or Chase, lie, as we think, in the order named, between Horatio Sevmour. of v -York Pendleton, of Ohio, and Gen eral iUcLlellan. As to General Sherman, he has too many peculiar crotchets of his own to serve the political purposes of either Dartv. and L so be may be counted out. ; The ex-rebel General Longstreet manifests the right spirit in regard to reconstruction. In cautioning the South against affiliation with Northern Copperheads, he says tersely, that the Democratic party, " has no issues save those which were staked in the tear and lost."
