MONDAY MAKCH at, ISifcl. ITEMS FOR TAXPAYERS. Democrats Pledges, and hair thej hsve been Fulfilled. ' First, tlo XJelcros. It will be remembered by the citizens of Evaosville, that ia the canvaw for city officea last SpriDg, the Democratic candidates and their frveada were profuse in promises a. t what they would do, iD case tho people entrusted the administration cf the affairs of the city to their hands They were laud in their charges of ex travaganee and incompetency against Mayor Baker and the Republican Council, and declared that if they could not "run the machine " at a far less expense and in a more satisfactory manner to the people, they would all resign. Le3t some of the voterhave forgotten these pledges, we pro pose to refresh their memories bj eopying from the Evansville Couriei of those days. It is profitable to call up these things, that we may compare Democratic performance with Democratic promise. Immediately after the city nominations, in March, the Courier opened he contest by firing the following shot. We copy from the number of March 27. In speaking of the Republican Convention, it says:

There was not that harmony in tht t proceedings, nor that judgment in tin " selection of candidates, which would justify any favorable conclusions asto the result of the pending canvass To these circumstances of discour agement may be added the great ant' , growing popularity of the Democratic candidate, Wm. II. Walker. Tin j best men in the Republican part) " 'begin to feel the necessity of a change in the administration of our munici pal affairs.' Corruption under Ridica auspices is wide-spread, powerful and .efiant, and the people are clamorous yjr change. juji It will Jbe seen by this that th . j Mayor and Council were directlx k'L charged with wide-spread, powerfu and defiant corruption. The sam , paper alleges that Mr. Klein wa t" defeated by the Convention for Mar shal because " ho had not run hi;hand into the 'public treasury and taken the people's money." In the Courier of March 28th, 18G3, is a report of a Democratic meeting ; . held at the Market House, in whicl ' Pbter Maier and Mayor Walkeh - were the speakers. Among othei - "; things said by the Mayor was the following significant sentence: After referring to somo acts of the . present Mayor, in which injudiciou -aud extravagant expenditures ot money were made that but partially accomplished the benefits to b8 secur ed to the public, promised tlvxt, if tlrcfal, Jie would not do better Jinan ciering th'tn exhibited in the instance. related, he toould resign the office. We give the language precisely awe find it in tho Couritr. In the Courier of March 29th w find the following gems, in an arlicK styled a defence df Mayor Baker: City Contracts. To those wh ' intimate that the city contracts have always been small, and always given out to the lowest bidder, we put it r. our denial, and assume, on the con trary, that they have generally, if no' always, been givon to good Union men and men of wealth, and even to imported contractors, at a good round price, knowing that poor labor -i ing men here at home, and especially Democrats and Conservatives, oould not be relied on, even at lower ; prices. The base charge of his re ' ' ceiving a portion of the profits arising . from these contraots, we consider too coarse br serious refutation. If, in deed, any refutation were necessary, we triumphantly refer the grumbler.- ; .to the Mayor's extreme poverty- and if this were not sufficient, we clinch the argument by the fact that he chal

lenges an examination oi tho city records; and surely no one can be so stupid as not to perceive at once that little peccadilloes of this kind would be PLAINLY REVEALED BY THE PCBLIC RECORDS. We simply pas3 on, with the inquiry, . . who has had the street contracts fo: the past year? Was it an imported contractor? Did he get good rouno prices, knowing that laboring men here at home, and especially Democrats and Conservatives, could not be relied on, at even lower prices? Fire-Engines. Then consider the perfection ot our means for extin- : guishing fires. Our worthy Mayor has taken great pains to see that fire " men are loyal, and that the horses that draw the machine, if not FAST, are at least strong and reliable; and whenever a company of firemen offer an independent opinion, they are disbanded. How can any man, or set of men, be expected to understand their affairs as well as ur great City Luminary? Let them take off their hats in his presence, or we say, OFF WITH their heads! Whose horses have drawn the fire engines during the past year? Were they the same that acted in that capacity last year? ir not fast, we suppose they are still strong and reliable. Yet again: -Thf Journal, anticipating that Mr. Walker's acknowledged "talent and economy" will soon be applied to the 'management of our municipal affairs," desires to know "how the citizens of Evansville fancy the anticipation." In the Courier of March 31, 1808, we find the following with referenco to street improvements: m Lest it should be inferred by mali- ; cious and disloyal persons that Mayor

o Duuurous statement, to assume all the credit for the " magnificent results which it announces, as a champion for the Baker administration, we take the liberty of adding that the improvements in question wero made at the expense ot the people who pay taxes, and under the frugal supervision of the clever and incorruptible gentlemen who disburse .ihem; that the "contracts" were given, under satisfactory conditions and at the highest rates, to applicants from. 8, r.?2i.;,.that the work was done -by "skillful" laborers "imported" from other places; and that all the

arrangements weroniado and tho ends

accomplished ui tuch a manner a to 1 enable " the high contracting parties" ! to satisfy every body but the suspicious, unreasonable ami exacting public which sullenly foots the bills. The belief populuily indulged that the contractors " made a good thing of it" is simply ridiculous; particularly if the supposition has reference to the character of the work. Contractors, as everybody knows, are incapapie of doing good work unless they conform strictly tgtlriTYjrins of the contract; and evefi then it requisita that that instrument shall bScurefully drawn. We simply ask againxwho had the street contracts last year, under Mr. Walker? Were the contrats carefully drawn? Were there, in many instances, any contracts at all until the work was about completed? In the same paper we find the following: Tub Council of Six. The Council, which has served the city partly, and their own individual interests altogether, may very appropriately ba styled the " Council of Six," for, although we have had three staunch and true Democrats oa tho Board, every measure which the Mayor and his partisans in the Coincil desired to pass has been passed, without regard to the protest of the Democratic members. We propose, from time to time during the present week, to give the public a view of the perfect disinterestedness which has character zed the support of certain measures by Republican Couacilmen. We wish ti vindicate lleilru.iii. Dean and others on the Board of Common Council, as well as Mayor Biker, from the charges that their own partisans have been making against them. We are determined that "Virtue" which finds its synonym in the names of I5aker, lleilman and others, who have become bankrupt in their efforts ror fh- "iihlic weal "shall have its reward." Ws there not a Council of six during the past year? We, too, propose from time to time, during the present week, to give the public a view of the perfect disinterestedness which has characterized the support of certain measures by Democratic Councilmcn. The following from the same paper is another lick at the imported Street Contractor: As to the deppTcable insinuation that our " imported " contractors took an unrighteous advantage of the elastic stipulations introduced info the contracrs, that is to be repelled o! course, ' with scorn and indiguation." u fact the charge cau ba repelled in no other way. It was for this reason, however, that is, in anticipation of the absurd calumny that the worthy Mayor sought his contractors and laborers elsewhere than in this city. He did not wish residents of this place to be assailed with imputations -o monstrous and unjust preterring that he alone should suffer, who. through " nine " long years of penury and toil had built up tho fortunes ot this city, and assisted ruanv of her leading citizens, as well as deserving speculators from other places, to lay op much good3 for many years. So much for to-day. We produce these extracts for the purpose' of showing how clearly the Democracy comprehended the short comings of the Republicans, and shall then pro ceed to exhibit the manner in which those delinquencies have been repaired aud how economy and provident man agement of tho city's affairs have in creased her credit at home aud abroad. Po-morrow we will copy further from the Courier. FROM WASlIlXGIOX.

Washington, D. C, March 15 Editors Journal: The throng of strangers is filling off, still there are many people here yet. Since the Inauguration and Cabi net excitements ceased, the current topic is, of course, the filling of the various positions under the Govern uieut. To-day, (Mouday,) it is ex pceted that a large number of nominations will be sent into the Senate for its action. A concurrent resolu tion having been passed by the House, fixing tho last Friday in March as the day of final adjournment, nominations will come " thick and fast." It is the opinion of many persons that the legislation necessary to bo transacted oannot be accomplished so soon, and that Congress will have to sit longer. Even if legislation should be com pleted, the Senate will continue in executive session some time longer, in order that nominations may be acted upon. It is still doubtful whether the Senate will consent to the repeal of the Tenure-of Office Law, although it is pretty certain that if not it will be modified so that the President can suspend an officer at his pleasure. It is in the hands of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and will be reported baok early this week. The truth of the matter is, that many Senators are extremely reluctant to unloose this halter by which they hold the Pi evident, whoever he may be. Many or all the Senators are extremely jealous of tho power andf influence of the Executive, and think it best to exercise a restraining influence over him. The strange freaks of the fate unitmental have taught them th. t there is safety only in keeping the reins tijht, although no fear is entertained that the present Executive will be guilty of any such "fantastic tricks " as the ooc lately retired to private life. The position of United Stat-.s Senator is one of great power and influence, and it is not to be wnnrlere.l ' at that those who fill it arc solicitous to retain any advantages that thev have gained. The situation is, however, favorable to the repeal of the law, as the President has Congress in a vise so far as appointments are concerned. Ho has simply to remain passive to refrain Irom making removals, and as eacu of j XL L 1 ! . I I me jxepuuncan congressmen lias many menus who can do placed in office only in the event of vacancies being made, there is a great and steady pressure on Congress f rom this fact which is calculated to bring about the repeal Between this desire to procuie the t-upersedure of incumbeuts by expectant friends and the inclination to keep the Executive under restraint as a principle applicable to I 1 1 ... imiucuis, me senate is dilemma. in a

The pressure of bu3inef8 upon the President is very severe, and the effect thereof is manifest in his worn and tired look. Each day, except Sundays and "Cabinet days " (Tuesdays and Fridays), he admits the people

tne unoiuciais, to his presence tor an hour in his private office, for the purpose of hearing their petitions and complaints, and giving them an opportunity to take his hand and pay their respects. On Saturday, wen the crowd was admitted, he stood with his It ft hand resting on a table, and his weight shifting from one leg to the other. In that position he shook hands and listened to what was said to him, giving appropriate replies. His face was care-worn, and his voice was weak. His countenance showed no signs of emotion, and bore a look of quiet indifference and resignation to the inevitable martyrdom which he, in common with all our Presidents, must undergo at the outset of their official career. If he doesn't completely succumb, in his physical vigor to this pressure I shall be surprised. It is likely that he will be compelled to refuse admission to all except officials and special visitors until the bulk of appointments are made. Flesh and blood can hardly endure the fatieue that he is undergoing. It would ruin a less hardy and sinewy constitution. The members of tho new Cabinet are all now acting except the Secretary of State, Hamilton Fish. He, it is understood, accepts, and will be here soou. In the meantime Mr. Washburne, the President's first appointee, acts iu that position. When Mr. Fish assumes control, Mr. Washburne will go home to Galena, to close up his private business, preparatory to taking his departuro as Minister to France. It ii useless to detail the rumors afloat iu regard to the probable appointments to foreiga missions, governorships of territories, etc. More than half are guesses, and those that are correct will reach you in theshaps of confirmatory telegrams before yon will set my letters by mail. Suffice it to says that Indiana will come outot the scramble, as she generally does in such matters, with a very small share of the " spoils of victory." Some of our prominent men are talked of tor divers srood positions, outside of the State, but they, have apparently few friends at court. Southern Indiana, especially the orphan districts, as they are called, having Democratic Representatives, will have a poor chance. 1 hc3e positions will be like ly to go where there are more Repub lican votes. Good enousrh lor tne Border." She has no business to ba so near the land of the " Losl Cause," where she can be flooded with Democratic votes. It is probable that, as Mas?achti setts has two members of the Cabinet, the Attorney General, Hoar, will in duo time be appointed as ono cf the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, provided that another one is authorized by a bill now pending. In such case it is probable that some man from the South or Far West will bo selected to fill the vacancy in the (Jabinut.J Jujge lteicl, ot Uonnersviiic, is here, and. it is understood, will con test Mr. Julian's seat vigorously the latter holding the certificate and hav ing posession, which is nine-tenths It seems to bo understood that Mr Carter will not contest Dan. Vnorhees s seat, although many think it ought to be done. Of our three out going Republican Representatives Messrs. Colfax, Hunter and Wash burne the first " steps up hishcr,' while the latter go back amongst the sovereign eople, unless they get appointments from the President. Ex-membcrs are very apt" to got the cozy places, as they "know the ropes, ' and can touch the secret springs of influence more deftly th in the uoitiated. Mr. Hendricks, the Democratic Ajax of Indiana, will return home to plan and scheme for the next Presidency. Fully half of our Hoosiers who have been attending the inauguration ceremonies have gone home. A number still remains and there arc fresh arrivals every day. Tho weather is extremely variable. About every alternate stranger one meets has a cold or is otherwise " out of gear." Nevertheless, as in Cairo, tho people here declare that it is a healthy place. How beautiful is Washington, with its v.ide avenues and streets; its magnificent public edifices; its parks, fountains and statues; its broad, saildotted Potomac; its undulating surface and noble amphitheatre of surrounding hills crowned with groves, elegant mansions, and benevolent institutions; and, grandest and most beautiful of all other edifices here, its Capitol. It is, indeed, the fitting political metropolis of this great country. The day may come when t he talked of removal of the Capital to a more central location will occur, but it will nor, I venture to say, during the present generation. Here, in the midst of theso historic scenes, is the appropriate seat of Government. Nowhore else on the continent are there so many elements of grandeur and beauty as here. This city is becoming more and more everyyear the place of residence of wealthy people of a political turn of mind, in time, I imagine, it will be what Paris is to France, Berlin to Prussia, Vienna to Austria, London to England, Rome to Italy mairnificent and majesfieal. Me. A WISCONSIN LETTER. Kenosha How a City may be Kulnrd idlers Democracy and Deterioration American bherry, Ac. Kenosha, Wis., March 15, 1SG9. Kd 1 tors .1 on r u ! : In a former letter I gave you an account of my journey hither; aud now, having sojourned here for sev eral months, I take the liberty of giviug you a acscripiion or the city and surrounding country. Kenosha is located on Lake Michigan, fifty miles north of Chicago and thirtyfive miles south of Milwaukee, aud is the only really good harbor between those two cities. It was settled about thirty years ago by speculating emigrants from the East, who built it very rapidly as Southport, from which its name was changed in 1847 to Kenosha, and the ambitious inhabitants, panting for greater facilities for making it a prain-exportmg market, projected the Kenosha & Rock Island Railroad, which, after being completed as far as Rockford, Illinois, proved a stupendous failure. leav . i . . . r " ing tn mg tho city of Kenosha resDonsiblo lor ?ouu,uuu, to which amount it had lent its credit to tho Railroad Company, a debt which the city has repudiated and resisted the collection of, but which has caused numerous judgments sgainst it until city property is almost worthless, and fully one quarter of what was formerly the business part of the city, having been from time to time burned, remains iD ruins, on account of the depressing effect of this impending debt. An association

hii3 been fjrme-d among the wealthier citizens for the purpose of buying up the claim3 which constitute the debt, but very little is hoped for from them No business prospers hero but malting and brewing; those branches succeed rather more than moderately, and a couple of - foundries only moderately. .All other business is in a lauguishicg condition. Even the churches arc scantily maintained, and the townseems to be cursed with considerably mor". ' lan its proportionate 6hare of loungot2. At all hours of the day, when the weather is fine, men of all ages, from tho octogenarian to the youth practicing on his first nauseating quid, may be seen ornamenting (?) some store-box or ranged in rows ou the stone curbing of the principal whisky or barber 6hop, idling away their time and practicing jokes and " sells " on each other, that they may be prepared for the first new comer among them. Of course this idleness is productive of mischief, and for want of good employment bad employment is rcadilv accepted, and the city has i's D. B. Club an lit C. D. Club, which the initiated know means the " dead beat " and " seedy " clubs, iH:o which an occasional unwary commercial "guerrilla" is occasionally decoyed and fleeced. Three of the churches have, for a considerate portion of the past year, been without occupant-s for their pulpits, viz.: the Congregational, the Unitarian, and the Episcopal, the Baptist being filled after nearly a year of uncertainty, by an enthusias tic young gentleman named laylor whose zeal and unassuming industry caused .him to become somewhat famous lash Summer, through the pictorial papers, by reason of having painted his own church &teente. Ie sides the churches named there are two Catholie and one Gorman Luthe ran aud one German Methodist, be sides the American Methodist Churches This city, like Galena. Illinois, an 1 all other places that have outlived the day of their prosperity, is under Democratic rule, all the city officers but the I rca3urer being oi that party lie ueine a one-atmed soldier, a gen tleman of education and popular with his countrymen tho Germans wa elected by a greater majority, las Sprinr, than any of the Democratic candidates. Kenosha, notwithstaud ing it is a Uemoeratic city, is very healthy. An obi ccntleman, last Sum mer, published the names ot over sixty men who were over sixty years and many of them over seventy, one of them being over one hundred years most of whom had livjd here for more than twenty years, and it is but fair to suppose there are a correspond inr number of old women. However that may be, the proportion of young men and yoang women are badiy nut ot ? opirtton, tor the city can boast a full nuota of beautiful girls, but alas! ' lull many a flower must bloom and blush" unmarried.for Chicago and other enterprising places entice the young men away those who arc pos essed ;of enterprise m proportion to their poverty at least and the youn.tr ladies are thus left blooming alone. with of course, some happy and some worthy exceptions, a number of whom have been carried off during the past inter, the most lively matrimonia Winter known iu these parts for ten or twelve years We have been handsomely enter tained by a home talent dramatic troupe during the past month or two who have, however, gone the way of all amateur dramatists cause, interna dissensions and the too common prevalence of a spirit of ambition, and the impecuniosity bolh.'s. t the compa ny and the citizen. The County of Kenosha h tho ex trcme southeastern county of Wiseon sin, a nne grazing country, wncre the attention of farmers is chiefly piven to butter, cheese and wool. I wo farm ers in the aojommg town ot Pleasant Prairie, alone keep a couple of hun dred cows each. B3sido these there are a score or more who keen from twenty to fifty, and Kenosha County butter and cheese is tast acquiring reputation to bo envied. There is no V inter wheat raised here, and not very excellent article of Spring wheat either, more attention being paid to brley and (for tho last year) hops i nere Demg several maic nouses m ivenosna, tne market tor baney is good, and eeveral breweries consume the hops. 1 no .malt houses and breweries exactly equal the churches in number, and nearly, if not quite, equal mem in innuenee hence our Democratic majority. In looking over the foregoing, I find that 1 have omitted mention of one branch of business that is not languishing wagon factories. There are live or six of them, small and great, one of which turns out sixty wagons per week, and is increasing its lacuities. lhere is also a good article of American sherry made here. said sherry being made from the cahoon or mammoth pieplant, this being the place where the cahoon plant was first prown, and to such au extent is this plant cultivated here. that one street tho most beautiful in this beautiful city is known by the sobriquet of " Pie plant Avenue," much to the dissrust of the present aristocratic owner of the old cahoon Place, which is also sometimes called Pie-plant Palace. The city election, which is now soon to take place, is casting its shadow before, and numerous aspirants in both parties arc talked of with as much earnestness and viaror as if the President of the United States was a small office compared with our Mayoralty. 1 do not expect to remain hpre loner enough to find material enouih for another letter, for that would take at least six months, and I shall not remain more than three or four weeks. The weekly arrival of the Journal is a great comlort to me here, and 1 wish yon all manner of prosperity, and should be glad to learn that your herculean efforts for the advancement of the cause of liberty met with the reward they so justly deserve unqualified success.
