PUBLISH HO BY THI EYAXSVILLE JOIRXAL COMPANY, I9o6 I.ocut Street, EvjkikiJI l-.; TTKDXISDAY, MABC11 23, ISIO. Republican Illy icvcntlou. The Republicans cf the City of Evansvil'.e, and all who are in favor of a continuation of a piudcnt and economical administration of the affairs of the City, are requested to meet in mass convention at NATIONAL HALL, Corner of Vine and First Streets, on SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1870, AT 7 O'CLOCK, P. M., for the purpose of nominating candi dates for the various city offices to be filled at the election on Monday, April 4th, and transacting such other business as may be demanded by the interests of the party. IJy order of the Executive Committee. tfocIUn. Falsehoods. We cannot, for the life of u, un derstand what political capital can be made out of each foolish paragraphs as the following, which we clip from tho columns of yesterday's Courier: Tne Republicans were out In frill force on Baturaay night in all the Wards except the Third and sevemu.-Jroniai. Indeed I At the Second Ward mootinir thnro were iust eiaht Repub licans! Is that the "full force' of the Second Ward? If so, our amiable "friend ot other days. AI van John eon, Esq., may as well ' hang his harp " on tho willows. It is noticed, as a curious (?) fact, that ii.v Internal Revenue Inspector McNeely appointed the only set of delegates to the Republican L'itv Con vention! All the Wards, except the Second Ward, permitted all Repub

lioans to act as delegates who saw fit . to do so! But" Mack "had the right to judge of his own friends; and, as " ho had only eight of them present, he . undertook, in his quiet way, to run

all the machinery. And he did it successfully 1 Ex Mayor, now Councilman! John S. Hopkins, presided over the Second Ward Convention last Saturday night, and made a Bpeech to eight men I He wanted the Ward represented by a man who would be a suitable representative of tho Ward, frobably(?) but they selected Mr. lopkins's brother in-law, Alvah Johnson, Esq., who will be pretty certain to represent bat Mr. IIopTnEjtadicala of the Second Ward appointed regular delegates to their City Convention. . No other Ward came to time! And this Convention consisted of eight delegates only ! The delegation is composed of thirty-nine Dames the exact number of stripes laid upon American sailors' backs, by the old cat o' nine tail system. Of the thirty-nine delegates, one is a'Democrat, who will have to bear all the stripes in this instance. We suppose he was chosen for that purpose. Here, in five distinct articles, the editor of the Courier asserts that there were only eight Republicans present at the Second Ward meeting on Saturday night last. We are able to give the names of the following gentlemen who were present at that meeting, among others: Gen. J. M. Shackelford, John S. Hopkins, Matthew Henning, Reuben Davis, Henry Habenicht, John W. Foster, Thomas, McCorklc, Peter Zapp, John 13. Young, Wm. E. Hollingsworth, James H. McNeely.'John S. Goodge, Capt. Wm. lleavis, Jiimes D. Riggs, Joseph Turnock, Wm. C, Turnock, Barnabas Terkins, Dr. S. W. Thompson, Reub- , en A. Hart, Henry M. Swcetser, E. S. Babcock, Dr. Winans, Henry Adams, Edward Tabor, Thomas C. Smith, A. M. McGriff, J. J. Marlett, Marcus Sherwood, John H. McNeely. In addition to the above named Republicans were several others, and some Democrats. The Courier could not be ignorant of the attendance. We confess we are pleased rather than otherwise, with the tactics of that paper. No greater political blunder can ever be made than to underestimate tho strength of a polit ical opponent, and wo hope the Courier will alwaj-3 report tho Repub lican meetings precisely as it reported the Second Ward meeting. We apprehend that the Courier and Mr. Van Riper will find those eight Re publicans strongly magnified at the cloe of the polls on the evening of April 1th. Fioni the Cnlcago .Post. The Pope's Flank Movement. Pio Nono is a shrewd and sagacious old man. ilis arts exhibit more than mere cunning; they ehow diplomacy like that which LOU13 .Napoleon de v velored in '48. It is evident now that the estab lishment of his personal infallibility by a vote of the cardinals and bishops was the rxal purpose of the convoca tion of thi Council. As the early councils ct the church were held to determine the deitvship of Jesus, tho inspirations of certain Scriptures, the doctrine of the Trinity, the immaculateness of the Virgin, etc., so this was called to decide, under the cuidance of the Holy Ghost, the infal libility of the successor of the last of the Greeories and representative of St. Peter on earth. At the very threshold, the arubi- . tious Pontiff met with difficulty. The Ircnch Minister assured Cardinal Antonelli that France would "withdraw her troops from Rome in case of a declaration of infallibility," and on this the new French Minister insists. Bismarck and Beust promptly seconded Napoleon, and the civil powers of Germany are a unit both against infallibility and syllabus. The memorial asserting infallibility, was signed by some four or five hundred; and the counter-protest by some two or thr;e hundred; but the latest dispatch says that tho Pope now counts with certainty on 610 votes quite enough to insure the success of the dogma. Our American prelates have hitherto held slyly aloof, but the drift . "the tide has doubtless carried their s where their sympathies had al- ' gene, into alliance with the ulutar.es. bava said the Pope was show

ing all the sagacity his position calls .

for quite a carnal-tariff. In the' first place, he has, since the conven- ; ing of the Council, created ninety bishops irom the Jesuit priests who frequent his antechamber, and every one 01 their votes will count tor the infallibility ef their " creator." Then he has kept thr empty cardinals hat hanging on the walls 01 the chamber. and has postponed the appointment and consecration of those dignitaries until the infallibility vote shall reveal which or them is worthy. At least six of the American prelates have aa eye on the same hat, and it is not difficult to prognosticate tho com plexion of their ballots. lie has put iorin a ieariui t yuaous of twenty-one articles, full of denunciation of anti-Papal sinners and sending everybody straight to perdition who ventures to doubt that Pio Nono is the divine descendant of the impulsive Peter. He has refused to . 1 1 rt 1 -a grant the aemana 01 count Uaru, that a civil representative ot the French government be admitted to the Council, and the French ambassador has withdrawn from Roma in consequence, and tho Austrian Minister is packing his trunk. XT V U! 1? . t, V,: 1 .1. card to use the familiar language of the world. He puts forth a "scJiema" declaring that the successor of St. Peter was "endowed with plentitude of power," and "possesses supreme and complete primacy; that all questions of faith must be determined by him, and that fce can not err. ihe schema is to bo voted on in the Council, and the character of the vote will be likely to be aiTected by an intima tion, which the author has fclyly slipped in, that all "who dare to contravert the present definition" will be certain to incur the pains of hell, and be compelled to wrestle single handed with the superintendent of that sulphurous domain. To make assurance doubly sure. and finally checkmate the wicked op ponents of the scheme, the Pope has now issued a comprehensive indul gence, agreeing to forgive tho eina of all who will besiege heaven with sup . a a 1 1 SI WW plications in his behait. 111s coup detat is, in terms, as follows: Who' soever, while confessing and receivine the sacrament of the Lord's Sup per. shall repeat the Ave fifty times and the Lord's Prayer five times a day for a week, in hope of the Coun cil being brought to a successful issue, is to receive full absolution for his own sins or those of any dead person whom he may wish to benefit." This flank movement will be likely to rout the unbelieving foe. When the Sovereign Pontiff draws on the penitents ot two continents lor reinlorcements, he will be certain to bewilder the cismontane enemy and carry his point KANSAS C0I1BESF0XDX3CE. Near Waukarusa, Kansas.! Marcli, Ulh, 1S7U. Editors Journal : For fear some of your readers should be led into the error of BuppoBing that the above named "city' is a Dig thing realty, as it looks on paper, it will not be improper for me to inform them that " Waukarusa City" is a station oa the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fee Railroad, about twelve miles from the " Captol," and at the point where said A. T. & S Railroad crosses the Waukarusa It contains let me see one black smith shop, two 10x12 private mansions, built of pine lumber, set on end, unpainted and undressed, one of which is inhabited by a long, lean. ank, pumpkin-colored individual. from Southern Alabama, who fought in the late unpleasantness, against nigger equality, and who is the proud parent of a large litter of interesting little Alabams; the other is to let," no doubt, on reatonable terms; one two story building, built ditto, as above, and inhabited by two or three families, a number of railroad hands, a very brief grocery store, a hotel and numerous other persons too tedious to mention. This city is owned by a Topeka real estate firm, who are offering great in ducements to purchasers of corner lots." The aforesaid inhabitants thereof exultingly look forward to the time when Waukarusa City will suddenly become entirely too large for its ' britches," and it is roundly argued that it is foreordained to become a "great railroad centre," some thing on the style cf Indianapolis, as the said pumpkin-colored individual from southern Alabama, and the blacksmith shop are, even now, industriously engaged in the prospect ive construction of another railroad, which is to run, as the party of tho first part scientifically expresses it, catnwampusly " across tho city, and it is confidentially predicted that said R. R. will be in going order in a lew weeks if the want continues favorable. I learn, also, that the grocery store, before named, who is deeply interested in through lines and cheap freights, is anxious to have said railroad extended, in a direct line, to the Southern terminus of the Indiana North & South Road, and stroDg hopes arc entertained that Adam Young, who runs an engine in the latter place, will use his influence and eloquence to secure a mutually satisfactory connection between these two great thoroughfares. The only troublesome effect of such a measure, if successf ul, would be the necessary removal of Evansvillo nine miles further up the Ohio. As many of your readers have, no doubt, seen maps ot Waukarusa City, upon which every thing is set down :iL - - v - -1 1 wun so mucn precision, a la Uhuzziewit's Eden the court house, the theatre, the Waukarusa male and female universities, the railroad de pots, the public square, Broadwav, the Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, U. S. ' Brethren, Campbellite, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, and several other elegant Churches, where tall spires extend perpendicularly in an altitudinous direction that, to them, this extended description will bo worse .1 i A , . -r man buiuiuuuus. yet, 1 may mention, even for their-edification. the addmonai interesting tact that the blacksmith shop assents, with gusto and cuss words, that a no more suitable northeastern location for the National capital oould be selected this side of Washington, D. C, than this, and he has diagram ingeniously constructed, in tho shape of a horse shoe, by which he proves beyond any mathematical cavil, that Waukarusa is only one seventeenhundredth of a cubic inch removed from the exact centre of the United States. I think so myself. Waukarusa River is a fino little stream, not classic that I know of, but the "bottom lands" contiguous, are the richest in the world. World, includes a very largo portion of the earth, vet I won r. even on celibera tion, amend or restrict the preceedicg sentence a single syllable. Une hun dred bushel? of corn per acre is only a reasonable crop, aud by careful cul ture, fifty per cent, more could be producer;. This river, "like all other streams in ine btato, is lined with a the otato, 33 lined with narrow belt of timber, in some places

a mile v.Ice, whlfih adds greatly to the value ,f the lands. Bottom land on this stream is now valued at fifty dol

lars per acre, which for this new country. i3 considerably on the steep order The name of this river is accounted ! for by the following legend: " Once '. upon a time, on Indian girl, a be- i witching little savage, with black hair and taddle-colored complexion t rather good lookinsr, much on the j Pocahontas order, esoeciallv in that t she was an Indian, was crossing th: .i - 1 river on a pony, and, when about midway, she held up her beautiful little hands, elevated her artless eyebrows, and, and in her sweet Indian accents exclaimed, Wank a ruaa ugh!' In plain English, she said, 4 it is hip deep!' the immodest little hussy and meant by the pronunciation of the thiee last letters, " it is devilish cold. I tell you!" In my last letter to the Journal I promised to give, in a future letter, some account of (he Kansas Legislature. I find it difficult to comply with, my promise. I presumes it is very much nice otner oraie legisla tures, and will, no douot. compare favorably with those ot other western States in its general make-up Its proceedings thi3 Winter have been very much on tne monotonous oraer, and I have, like a dutiful subject, made no attempt to keep up with it. The Democratic members are scat tering and few between, yet they appear, like our ardent friend Whittlesey, ol the Uourur, ot your city, to be determined to not only keep even with their Keputlican antagonists, but if possible to go ahead of them in conferring favors and privileges, both political and social, uDon the colored man and brother. At the beginning or the session, a Democratic membtr of the House moved the election of a little nigger as one ot the pages, made a Drier speech in eulogy of the diminutive kinky headed candidate for omcial honors and emoluments, all of which was applauded and carried unanimously. The first four weeks of the session, the "new members" frequently exploded in tho most tcirifio burst of eloquence and patriotism, and the American Eagle and the Star Spangled Banner, the Declaration of independence, and our poor old fore-fathers, whose ashes are eo frequently and bo rudely disturbed, as usual, caught fits in the customary style; but, after each fellow had had his turn and had demonstrated to his constituency and the world that hcicould make a speech as well as the next man, things subsided into monotony and business. I dropped into the gallery of the House one drizzly Saturday afternoon and took a quiet survey of the mem bers Delow. 1 must comers, that as a crowd of men, they were not extra ordinarily prepossessing and maiy of them were even considerably on the contrary order. My first impulse was to think derogatorily of the mass of law makers below me, but 1 sud denly recollected our own Kizer, who a winter or so ago was wont to speak affectionately of his "venerable Democratic constituency." After that I could not find it in my heart to say or think aught in derogation. For once, at least, 1 attended to a voice that said, " You live in a glass house; be careful of your rocks." But still, I think I may venture the inquiry, why is it that State Legislatures arc the worst selected and worst paid 0 ul cers in the country? As a general rule, a man of respectable attainments and business, is unwilling to accept this olhcc; lor, it he is ionest, he is certain to come out at the small end of the horn. Finencially, a man had better bo a constable or afence viewer! 1 must insist upon it that this is a burning shame, and yet it is an evil prevalent, I believe, throughout tho Union. Among the leading Republican members of the Uou3e of Represen tees ot thi3 btate, is the lion, John Guthrie, formerly of Logansport, Ind a Captain in tho 40th lad. Vols., defeated Republican candidato for the Indiana State Legislature in 1SC1, and an emigrant to this btate in (Jo, He is now serving his third term as a member of the House, this session as Speaker, pro tern, which is sufficient proof ot his popularity and efficiency, He is a citizen of Topeka. and a law yer by profession. By the way, In diana is lully represented out here, on every side and in every department. Messrs. Jf omeroy, floss and Clarke, united btates benators and lie ore sentatives of this State, have come in for their full share of abuse, by the present Legislature. They must be bad men, even if th3 one hundreth part of ono per cent, of what is openly suid ot them be true No public man, or thoe ambitious to be so, .in the State, so far as 1 know, dares to speak favorably ot them. They literally have no friends. and, as it always happens, every body seems to think it is their especial du ty to give them a kick from behind. Senator Pomeroy is now openly charged with having, by letter, offered to vote against the impeachment of President Johnson for the exceed ingly cool sum of ono hundred thou sand dollars. Now. my theory of the matter is this: If Senator Pomeroy intended this as his ultimatum, ana was resolved and desperately fortified against being jewed down, 1 am un able to construe it into other than a compliment to his Roman integrity and invincibility. One hundred thousand dollars is a goodly gum, and a man s virtue must De a goodly vir turc ff it requires such a goodly sum to purchase it. lr we are to listen to the rumors that nil the air, most of our Congressmen act on a different principle from Senator Pomeroy. It is to get the most you can, but, by all means, get something. But here comes Senator Pomeroy, who deposes aud says: "My price is one hundred thousand dollars; take mc at that, or let me alone, and don t botuer me And lor this, the Kansas Legislature wants him-to resign. I say Pomeroy is a ltoman When I passed through the Capitol Duiidmg, on tne atoresaid dnzzlv baturday afternoon, I was astonished to find its various interior appartments in such good order and taste. I had formed my opinion of the building Dy its exterior which, however radically I may differ from a Topekan, is certainly ugly, it its authors intended to make a biz show, they have sue ceeded well. But if beauty was their aim, they have missed it more than a mile. Its interior, however, is well done, and, 1 dare say, is excelled by lew biate nouses in the Union. The House and Senate Chambers contain the old furniture, I believe, which don't look well, and these rooms are adorned with divers and sundry " picters " that are of doubtful excel lence. J.uis is only ono wing of the building, and yet this one wicg is magnificent in comparison with your whom Dag at lnuianapous Topeka is improving rapidly. A new and splendid bridge has been constructed across the Kaw .River, connecting the nortnern and southern portions 01 the city, which lakes the place if the old rickety pontoon. which was a disgrace ,to civilization ' This enterprise, whioh is said to have

cost more than one- hundred t'acu- ; sand dollars, was , consummated ; mainly by the energy, ioflurr.ee and , "spondulix" of a Mr. Mortimer; Cook, formerly of Ohio, who should i ! nertainlv be reckoned amonz the

benefactors of Topeka, if not of the J btate. 1 like to have said amonsr the benefactors of mankind," and I have half a mini to say so yet. Buildings of every description havo been going up all Winter, and not only a few, but a great many. It is astonishing, and while I franklv con -l: j t-1 T r 1 fess my inability to get at the logic of it, the fact stares me stubbornly in the face, and I am obliged to acknowledge the corn. Now, while Evansville is a city of thirty or more thousand inhabitants, old, fixed and established every way, surrounded by an agricultural country that has no superior, I'll venture the assertion that more than double the money has been spent for improvements in the former than ia the latter city. Topeka lacks in manufacturing establishments and ouitit, by all means, to be a tetter market for home produce. A few energetic, moneyed men, who would devote their attention to remedying these deficiencies, would be a great addition to the place. Topeka, which is login for potato, was founded in December, 1S54, by Col. C. K. Holliday and a few others. n torn the start, its launders nad an eye to making it tho capital of the State and everything was shaped to ward this result. Tecumseh, now in rums, and entirely abandoned as a town was founded and occupied by pro-slavery men and, for a long time, was the rival ot Topeka, which was occupied by freo State men. Tho former is only four miles from the latter place, situated lower down on the Kaw river. 1 visited lecumseh Only a few days ago, and it3 decay and ruin reminded mo forcibly of the present condition of the old advocates of slavery. Only a littlo more tnan a dczen years ago, no man who was not in favor ot the extension and per petuation of slavery could either own proper ty. or reside in lecumsen. Topeka is greatly indebted to her newspapers for her prosperity. They are a standing advertisement for her. They keep up a continual toot, not only upon her greatness, but upon the greatness ct the btate. JNewspa pers are never haif appreciated. Tho very men who are indebted to them for prosperity, often even pay their subscriptions grudgingly, and always consider money paid for advertising as an act of charity. It is a mystery how the Topeka dailies even live, much less grow and expand, as they do, like the cedars of Lebanon While they do not come up to metropolitan ability in their editorial de partments, tho newspapers of few cities of from thirty to fifty thousand inhabitants exoel them in mcchauica make-up, in sizo or in tho amount or variety of their reading matter. They are plainly a Ion? way ahead ot the city, and they may well repose upon their oars lor several years to come The Bpring immigration has already commenced in earnest. People are pouring into this State by hundreds and thousands. They come from al parts of the world. People at home in old Hoosier, who have settled down in their fixed ways, who never rush or push, cr grab for anything, don' half appreciate things out here. Here it is pell mell, hurry, skurry, jet out ot my way, there! inousanus 01 acrc3 ot land are changing hands and hundreds of homesteads and "claims" aro being taken every dy.- I really believe taat in less than two years there won't be a foot cf unclaimed land in the State worth a tinker s cuss. It is a shame that poor men, both married and single, will stay back where they arc compelled to almost beg lor a uvmg, when by a littlo en crgylthey could come out West, each procure a quarter section of good land and go to wore on it and in a few years be independent and wealthy Of course, the first year or so they would, if very poor, have to tug and 6weat and manage and twist and turn and "rough it through," but. while many of them have all these things to do at home, with no prospect fo tho future, here they would know that the end would come. Is it not a plain proposition that one huudre and sixty acres or good land, unen cumbered, and well located wil eventually make a man independent And after financial independence jomes wealth, luxury ,and influence ! This W inter has been exceedingly mud and pleasant, though this month has besn variable and sometimes quite cold. To-day it is very cold, has snowed some and blowed much. To morrow it may be contrary. The ru mor that Rev. J. F. Sc. Clair, was member of the present Legislature was false; he was a delegate to tho ltepublican Convention ono year ago irom uneroKee county. 1 noticed in my last letter to -the Journal a few typographical errors, but when tho cussedness of my penmanship is duly considered, 1 am not surprised.
