MERCHANTS' ;. MEETING!

Committee Appointed to go to Wash ington City. MATTERS OF VITAL INTEREST A meeting of the business men of the city was held at .the Jioarcl ot Trade "Rooms.- yesterday afternoon. There was "a fair attendance, though not so "many as we expected to see." Those who were present were in earnest, however, and will use their full influence ia furthering the objects of this meeting. - The meeting ' organized by calling Judge John Law to the . Chair. The newspaper reporters were appointed Secretaries. , Judge Lav stated the object of the meeting to be to appoint a committee to go to Washington to use their in fluence to have Congress make this a port of entry, to' give U3 a Local Board. of Steamboat Inspectors, and to have a branch of the Federal Court established here. Ho gaid that New Albany, with a, much smaller population, and doing not half as much business a3 Evansville, was a port of entry, and we certainly were entitled to the same. ' . - . Philip Hornbrook, ' Surveyor of Customs, made an explanation in regard to the business thst was, transacted at the previous meeting, when Mr. Randall .was present. Colonel Hornbrook stated . that he had written to Secretary Boutwell some time since, principally in regard to the appointment of a Local Board of Inspectors. . He read tho reply of Mr. Boutwell to his communication, which stated that his suggestions had been taken , under' advisement, and asking for statistical information in regard to tho business and; shipping interests of our city. Col.'Hornbrook said he had writteu the following letter, which he would send to the Secretary of the Treasury, as 30on as he got the desired statistics: To tlie Hon. O. S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury: Agreeable to your request, "as per your letter of October 27th, 1SC9, I give you statistics of thin., port and city: , ; .... . I am well aware that the importance of this as a commercial point has never been made known to the Department. -- ; -The City of Evansville, Indiana, contains thirty thousand (30,000) inhabitants, and it' ranks third among the cities of this oontinent, iu point of commerce, for the number of its inhabitans. To" prove this I append three (3) certificates, viz.: 1. From the Board of Trade, showing the amount of produce and merchandise shipped from and received at this port, as also the amount of manufacturefi in the city, as well as the sales of produce and merchandisa. 2. The number of steamers that land at this port, and the aggregate of their under-deck tonnage; also the number that pass without landing, showing conclusively that this is an important commercial point. 3. The number of vessels enrolled at this port, and their aggregate ton nage. These proofs I tender in hope3 that you wilt use your inuuence at tne present session ot congress to have laws enacted that will, give this port what is essential to the protection of life and property, and give to this city what her commercial enterprise demands. 1. A Board of Local Inspectors of nulls. Boilers and Machinery ot Steamboats. We have nothing of the kind in the State. 2. To make this a port of entry as well as delivery, with a bonded route Irom the seaboard to this port. 6. Io aid in the passage ot a law that will give this city a branch of tho Federal Court for the District of Indiana. At this time the Federal Court 13 held in Indianapolis only; henca we are debarred from the benefits that would accrue provided a court was held in this place. The larire maritime interests cen treing at this point demands that we should have easy access to a court wherein vessels could be libeled and the interests of all parties be adjudi cated. Mr. Jame3 Phelan, of the firm of Mark Warren & Co., moved that a committee of three be appointed to goto Washington City. Mr. Henning moved to increase the committee to five. Mr. H. E. Read thought' that three would do as well as five. On the vote beinj taken, a commit tee of three was ordered. Before the committee were selected Dr. Morgan made,a speech, in which ha referred to tho fact that the matter of a Federal Court at this place had been under consideration in Washington City, ence before, but had been defeated by the Representatives from tho upper part of the State. He made some remarks of a political character ttat had nothing in common with the spirit ot the meeting. The committee were then appointed, and consisted of Col. Philip Horn brook, Thos. EI Garvin, and John Ingle, Jr. - Col. Hornbrook took occasion ?o say that Mr. Niblack, our present Re presentative, had promised his aid in all matters that would beneht our ey.' - . - '"' . It was stated by a gentleman pros ent that Evansville, in proportion to population, was the third commercial city: in the United States. New York was first, and San Francisco wa3 sec ond. . Mr. Whittlesey moved that Colonel Denby and Wm. Baker be added' to the committee, and if Mr. . Baker could not go, that Colo no J. W. Fos ter take hid place, which motion was adopted. - . ' Major Blythe Hyne3 : eail that cs the committee were expected to use their influence to sccuro a branch of of the. Federal Court at this place, he would move that General Shackelford and Colonel Batterfield bo appointed a committee to prepare the necessary psipers. The motion wa? carried unanimously. Mr. Hencing said he thought that an address, to be signed by the citi-

zees of Evansville, should be prepared, and read the following, which he had written, as partly conveying his idea: ' To Messrs. Philip Hornbrook, Thomes E. Garvin. John Ingle, Jr., Charles Denby and NVni. Baker: We, the undersigned, citizens of Evansville, deeply feeling our great

need of haviDg the Government Vestablish at this port. First A Local Board of Inspec tors; Second Of making this a Port of Entry 53 well as a Port of Delivery, which it only now is; ' Third To give us a branch of the Federal Court at this city, . Respectfully request that you represent us ?md our necessities at Washington. We feel, however, that, in order to succeed, you will require great assistance from those holding the offices of, the Everal States and Government, who alone have the power to grant our petitions, although based, as they are, on simple justice. We, therefore, recommend you to the favorable notice of our distinguished Senators, Oliver P. Morton and Daniel D. Pratt, also our honored Representative, Wm. E. Niblack. These much esteemed citizens of Indiana will doubtless understand and appreciate the importaEce of our city, commercially, and our right to them as great as that of Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, or other Western cities." and the influence of these gen tlemen obtained, will also secure you the co-operation ot Senators and Itepresentatives from other otates, who will doubtless aid us in obtaining what will eeem to them & necessity, warranted by the facts which you are enabled to present to them for their consideration. - - - - And, in conclusion, allow us, through you, to assure all who shall so justly and kindly assist us, that their services will be appreciated and remembered by us, tho undersigned. The above, on motion, was referred to Messrs. Shackelford and Butterfield . On motion, Mr. Henning was added to the committee to act with Messrs. Shackelford and Butterfield. ' Hiram E.; Read referred to the Green River navigation difficultiep, and expressed the opinion . that if some action was taken or expression of opinion given, it might do good. He thought, perhaps, that it might be a good idea to draft resolutions and express our grievances. On motion, Messrs. Jas. Phelan, M. Henning and A. T. Whittlesey were appointed a committee to appear before the City Council and ask an appropriation to pay tho expenses 01 the delegation to Washington City. As will be noticed by our Council proceedings, the committee performed their duty and asked for a dona tion of $2,000. This seemed a large amount, and a motion was made, but not seconded, to give $750. Another motion was made appointing a committee to find out how much money is needed. Gen. Shackelford moved to instruct the delegates to use their influence for an appropriation of $100,000 by Congress to improve our harbor, which motion prevailed unanimously. come general talk ensued, alter which tho meeting adjourned.

An Izittri'tiit'S Session. Council Chamber, 1 Evansville, Nov. m, Iat9. Council met, pursuant to adjournment. Present II13 Honor Mayer Walker aijd Councilmen Steinbaeh, Hopkins, Semonin, Orr, Stumpf, Ilodson, Wiltshire, and Doughty. t The minutes of several previous meetings read and approved. Messrs. Henning, Phelan and Whittlesey appeared before the Council, as a Cftriimittee from the " Business Men's Meeticg yesterday, and asked that an appropriation bo made to defray the expenses of the Committee of Five, that bad been appointed to go to Washington City, on business of great interest to our city. Mr, Henning stated the object of the visit of the Committee, and Mr. Whittlesey made some extended remarks on the subject. . Mr. Phelan stated that the Committee were also directed to ask for an appropriation of . $100,000 to improve our harbor, lie asked . the Council to appropriate $2,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to defray the expenses of the Committee. Mr. Wiltshire asked Mr. Whittlesey the object in sendicg so many. Mr. Whittlesey said perhaps some of them could not 6tay very long, and would have to come home to attend to business, and it was desirable to have part of the Committee present all the time. James Swanson, Sr., said it looked like a wholesale business sending so many. He was opposed to appropriating so much money for such a purpose, f Whittlesey mado a speech in reply to Mr. Swanson, and spoke in favor of the appropriation. The Mayor ajked if the Council was prepared to act. Mr. Hopkins said he was prepared to act, but he did not understand how the money was to be got. The city's finances were in a contracted condition, and he wanted to do -justice to all. He would, therefore, move: to appropriate $750. Mr. Semonin said that the delegation would not leave until after the next meeting of the Council, and moved that a committee be appointed to ascertain the least amount that could be got along with. Semonin, Orr and Hopkins were appointed the committee. ; Mr. Steinbaeh said he was opposed, in tho present condition of the city finances, to give one dollar. He believed ia donations being mado by those who would be directly benefitted.

Semonin, Hopkins and Steinbaeh were appointed a committee to examine and receive the Pest House. Tho bili of J. J. Chandler, for $50, for legal services, was ordered paid, if found correct. On motion Mary A. Dodd was ordered to be refunded $1, paid for poll tax. Mr. Hopkins said that heavy wagons, in passing over the new cisterns, had cut ruts, and if not attended to, would destroy the cistern tops. The Street Commissioner was directed to take a couple of carts and haul brickbats and 6tones and deposit them over the tops of the same. Mr. Steinbaeh made the following report in regard to a petition asking that certain sisns be prohibited: " Paragraph 20 in Sectiou 30 of the charter of the city of Evansville, empowers the Common Council to declare what shall be deemed a nuissance. It is tho opinion of your Committee that everything ghould .be called a nuisance which may endan- i ger life and limb, health and property of tbe people. As there hardly i can be two opinions as to the proba-1 bility that large, flapping signs," stretched across the streets, such as are referred to in said petition, may and will caus3 the destruction of lite and property, we therefore, deem it our duty to recommend to tbeCouacil the passage of an order declaring all such signs as public nuisances, and instructing the Marshal tohave them removed forthwith." " It was stated that it would bo neccs sary to pass an ordinance declaring these signs a nuisance, before they could be ordered removed. The matter was refeired to Mr. Steinbaeh for consultation with the City Attorney on the subject. f Viets's wharf report showed collections of $83 25. Havelin'a wharf report amounted to $80. The Central Market report amounted to $5 20 for outside collections. Messrs. Wiltshire and Steinbaeh made the following report: " The undersigned Committee, appointed to report as to the advisability of removing Mr. Brinkmeyer's house, on Ann Street, don't think the necessity of such removal urgent enoueh to have it ordered iu the present financial condition of the city. But if Mr. Brinkmeyer would consent to remove the house at present, without any compensation, he. would increase his popularity with hi3 neighbors immensely." The following report was submitted : To the Mayor and Common Couacll: Gentlemen Councilman Steineker having stated beforejrour honorable body that thecity's money had been squandered iu filling up Third Street Sewer, under my supervision, even specifying that the filling up had cost Jone dollar fper yard of earth, 1 have applied to the Committee on Streets and Alleys to have the matter ivnestigated, the result of which I hereby lay before your honorable body. - You will find hereto annexed a certificate from the City Surveyor, which 1

shows that tbe actual amount of earth

filled into the Third Street Sewer is 1.090 yards. You also find herewith an affidavit, sworn to and signed by myself, stating the number of bands, carts and days, and also the work done. -By comparing, you will find that the filling up of said sewer has cost the city rather below than above fifteen" cents per yard. I hold it to be my duty to vindicate myself, as well as the party which appointed me, from spending the city's money unnecessarily. Respectfully, Fred. Eberhard, Superintendent.
