Arrangements as last mentioned. Boonvllle, Warrick County, August 3Lst, at 1 p.m. Kapubllcan papers of the First District, 1 will please cepy.l Wz Icarn from Mr. Boyd that we vrere ia error in our reference to the i !au3 and specifications for the Water Works building, a3 referred to in the Journal of Wednesday. The draw ings and specifications, upon which tLe contract was based, were prepared bv them on a design furnished by Ilr. Weir. After his return from an examination of the Dayton Water Works, Mr. Boyd also prepared a deei jafor a building, which the Comn ittea, for some reason, did not adopt. It is this latter design which was adopted by the Council at its last meeting, and for which the contractor charges an increase of fire thousand dollars. We are still unable to discover what new light the committee has received vrith reference to Mr. Boyd'a plan that it did not possess when it awardel the oontract. We also do know that the contractor could ezaot his own price for the proposed change, as there was no possible chance for competition. But, as competition had teen excluded trom tbe outset, we Lave no way of estimating the extent of the profit on the proposed change. Water Works Bonds. Our resureotion of Mr, Van Riper's fledge that the Water Works Ban ds should not be sold for eighty-five or eighty-seven and a half cents m the dollar, greatly troubles that gentleman, who attempts to divert attention from it by a column of abuse in the Covrier of yesterday. It is designated as an attack upon his veracity. He don't deny the fact, yet our quoting it is an attack upon his veracity. Worse and more of it, quoting Mr. Van Riper' fl publicly given pledge, as chairman of the Finance Committee, to the effect that the bonds should not be sold at jighty-five cents, is, " by implication," also an attack upon the veracity of Mr. Isaac Keen, who negotiated their sale. How artfully, and profoundly the little Dogberry argues I The Journal did not assail the disposition of the bonds. In so asserting the Courier simply lies, as usual. In view of the mountains of debt Ossa piled on Pelion imposed upon our city by the present Democratic Council, we think the sale of the bonds a good one and very creditable to the financial skill of Mr. Keen. We regard his employment as one of the very few sensible things done by the Finance Committee. We are gratified to learn that the Committee had sense enough to recognize the want of ability on the part of their Chairman, and to select somebody that was equal to tbe emergency of selling the bonds. The wbolo transaction shows that Mr. Isaao Keen, and not Mr. Van itiper, is the proper man for the Democracy to run for Mayor next Spricg. We hope, how ever, that it was not ioucd mcessary to mortgage the Water Works to bo cure the payment of the bonds as was done in thi case of the lots pur chased of Mr. Amory in order to make them bring 85 cents. We pre sume Mr. Keen was too shrewd a finan cier to do anything of that kind. Yes, we think, under the circumstances, Mr. Keen did better than wo had any right to expect, and is entitled to all the more credit. Indeed, his success, hampered and harrassed as he was by the bungling of the City Finance Committee, was really marvelous. Another paragraph from the Cow rier Dogberry reassures us. He says: .With an Indebtedness of nearly a million and three-quarters actual and prospective, hanging over the city, Its credit ia to-day better in the money markets than when that indebtedness did not exceed six hundred dollars. We have for some time been endeavoring to comprehend the philosophy governing the Finance Committe in its operations, and now we have it. The more the city owet the belter will he its credit. Could anything be more satifactory? Bunsby never originated anything half so profound. We call the attention of our business men to this revolution in the laws of finance. Is the credit of any merchant impaired? The way to improve it is to run still deeper in debt. The simple rules of addition and substraction are not easier comprehended. This, tco, satisfactorily accounts for the recklessness with which the Council is spending money and multiplying the bonds the greater the indebtedness the better the credit of the city. . Criticisms on such folly and stupidity are summarily disposed of by denunciation and vituperation. All who object to the new principle of finance, and declare their preference for the old rale, that the best way to preserve credit is to keep out of debt as much as possible, are denounced as injuring the credit of the city. So we go. Verily Van Riper is our Napoleon the Third, and infallibility is the distinguishing characteristic of all his conduct.

the Cry or "Stop Thief." The tactics of the professional pickpocket, who joins in the hue and cry of "stop thief" after some imaginary rogue, while, at the same time, he chuckles over the ill-gotten

gains in his own pocket, are as old aa the business he follows. The City Council seem to have adopted the same strategy ia their simulated indignation over the decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, by which those who sell ia market are required to pay a tax to the Government. It will be remembered that at the last meeting of the Council, Mr. Van Riper, with mock indignation, introduced the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of the City Council of Evansville, Indiana, that the recent attempt to levy and collect a tax (of the government) of $10 from each and every farmer or gardener, who bring3 to our city his wagon load ot vegetables, is at once an outrage on the producer and consumer, and we cannot think it way duly considered nor intended by Congress; and Kewhed, That we hereby request the Assessor and Collector of Internal Revenue to suspend the collection of this tax from the honest farmer, until they ean properly lay the matter before the proper authorities, as we feel that, inasmuch as said tax has not been collected during the past three years, it seems to us that it is over zeal to serve the government that prompts its collection at this time, when the law authorizing its collection is about drawing to a close: and. Resolved, That a special committee of three (3) be appointed by this Council to prepare an address to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, praying that the execution of this ob noxious law be suspended until the representations of the people can be heard, which we feel will insure its repeal. Now one would naturally conclude, on reading the above resolutions, that the present Democratic Council would do, and were doing, all it possibly could to lift the burdens of taxation from the farmers and gardeners But what are the facts in the case? Why, the present Democratic Coun cil, which resolves that an attempt to levy and collect a Government tax of $10 per year, from every farmer who brirgj to our city his wagon load of vegetables, is an outrage upon the producer and the consumer has actually increased the taxes on the farmers for doing that same thing, to more than that amount. Last year the average tax levied upon farmers and gardeners for stalls under cover, was forty dollars per stall. The present Council rained the price to an average of Fifty-one Dollars, or an in crease of EUven Dollars per year . Last year the gardeners who used the curbstone, backing their wagons against the same, were charged fifteen cents per mcrning for the privilege. The present Democratic Council, which is so outraged over a government tax of "ten dollars," charges these same gardeners for the same privilege thirtysix to twelve dollara per year an inX TT crease ot over use iiundued rjsa CENT. JNow, it taxation is such an outrage upon producers and consum ers, why did the Council pile it on to the farmers and gardeners eo steep for merely backing pgiinst the curbstone? If the Council is so ter ribly outraged because of the government tax, why not come down somewhat in its demands. We dare Bay the government authorities would very cheerfully take hilf of the increase of the rents of stalls, as fixed by the present Council, and give the farmers clear receipts. But if the present Council doubles the taxation on the farmers and gardeners, with w hat consistency can it cry "thief," at the government, and denounce its collection of revenue as an outrage on producers and consumers? Communicated. Wm. M, French, Esq., supervisor of internal revenue, is in this city, and is going to Dubois county to-day, with a view to rcpublicaniza that Gibraltar of Democracy, and is to be accompa nied by Jas. II. McNeely, Esq , of this city. Their real object in Dubois is to smell out some illicit whisky mills that they fancy have an existence up there. The more radical spies that visit Dubois county on such errands the more Democratic votes she will poll. Courier, It would be very difficult, if not im possible, for the Courier to act fairly toward Government officials. The writer of the above item, being an old friend of both the persons above named, was told in a friendly way of their contemplated movements on revenue business, and could not re frain from making apolitical thrust at them, because they were so unfortu nate as to be in the service of " this abolition government." The facta are, Mr. French is a dis tillery surveyor, whose business it" i3 to assist the Assessor in determining the capacity of those establishments for purposes of internal revenue tax ation. Very few people, except those inveterate opp3er3 of the Adminis tration who herd about the Courier ofSoJ, object to taxing whisky and fruit brandy. The more tax that is put upon these commodities, the less will be taken from industrial and utilitarian sources. The more strineent the surveillance over illicit dis tilleries, the better for honest distil lers and the community in general. Bnt the writer of the above kne w, or ought to have known, that , the business of the officials named was not of a detective character. They go into several counties to survey dis tilleries, according to notice duly giv en, so that they may be operated un der the law. They hops not to find any illicit stilld. It certainly is not their business to hunt them. To the credit of the Dubois County fruit distillers, and distillers in general, they were disposed last year to comply with the law, and we doubt not they will do so this season. They will make more money, and have more satisfaction in doing so, than to work regardless of the law. The rules governing fruit distillers are modified this season, so they have no excuse to violate the law and treasury regulations. M.

Courier. Certainly I And we have no doubt that the very same reason may be urged in justification of every bill of extras which the Council will be called upon to foot. We stated weeks ago that the "extras" would figure largely in the bill of ex penditures, but we hardly supposed that the thing would open out quite bo heavily as five thousand dollars at a lick. One of these days we will be informed that the change in the location of the works in volves an increase of large pipe whicn is very expensive. The Courier will then come forward and be keen to wager a sew hat that the new pipe is. worth more than the difference in the cost. We ndver knew bills for extras that were not apologized for in just that way. But, in the meantime, how much will the Water Works cost the city of Evansville when the deficiencies in the contract are all made good, and on the contractors' own terms? We leave the problem with the tax payers, who may solve it during the long nights of the approaching winter. The Canal Swindle. We alluded yesterday to the statement of the New Albany Ledger that "General Milroy was the only candidate on either side that favored the swindle of taking back the Wabash and Erie canal." We put the brand upon the aspersion of General Milroy, and enlarged the operation by trans ferring the advocacy of the swindle to the Democratio candidate for Attorney General. He hai openly advocated it, though he is not the only Democrat that favors it. We will enlighten the Ledger little. Oa the 7th day of March, 1867, (see Brevier Reports, page 412), came up in the State Senate the question of amending the State Constitution, so as to prevent the peo ple from ever being burthened by a corrupt legislative majority, wu a new debt of $7,500,000. The first form of the proposed amendment prohibited the State from assuming any liability whatever on account ot tbe Wabash and Erie Canal. Several Republi cans objected to this form, that there were old bonds, issued in lodb, out standing, and they were honest debts, still unpaid, and it would be repudiation to interfere with their payment. Then the amendment teas amended by a proviso, offered by senator J. R. Cravens, of Jefferson, that "this pro vision should not be construed as affecting the rights of persons who were not parties to the adjustment of the State debts made by the acts of 1846 and 1847." This amendment made all honest old debts safe, and excluded the assumption only of those fully paid by the Wabash and .brie Canal. ilark here the state ot tne question. It was now in such a shape that no claims ccu'.d be affected but the canal stock bought ud by Democrats at five and ten cents on the dollar. All others were protected, and there could be no repudiation in refusing to pay what had already been paid. In this state of the question. Senator Bayless W. TT . ir: : 1 nnnill. ing to propose a Constitutional amendment that repudiates part of the State debt. If there is not some covered design to repudiate some portion of the debt somehow, what is the use of the amendment?" (See page 412. second column). The "covered design was open enough. It was to keep a lot of Democratio speculators from fastening another debt of seven millions and a half upon us, and to provide for it in such a way as to make bribery out of the questionmake it powerless by putting the gripe of the Constitution on its infamous throat. This, Bays the Democratio candidate for Attorney General, "is repudiation." So said the Democratic State Convention last Winter in refusing to resolve for a Constitutional amendment. So says the State Sentinel in opposing that amendment, because it sees its interest in opposition. Remember what Mr. Ilanna said, the position he holds, what the Sentinel has said, and think what may be done by the party they represent when it gets the power. We shall have that canal debt, already twenty four years paid, to pay again. Another Democratic swindle for Republicans to settle. Indianapolis Journal. From the Saturday ReviewMr, -Charles Dickens' Will "Ihe Frlde Which Apes Hamillty." Mr. Dickens' will stands on different grounds, and as the world's judgment has been invoked on its merits, we must say that it strikes us as being rather a painful document. Tbe natural reluctance to eay this is diminished by the fact that the will was written to the world. Mr. Dickens' last charge to mankind is of the nature of a Boleinn rescript, urbietorbi, quite as much as a testamentary document. It is a piece justificative; which implies that there is something to justify. It is not the first time that Mr. Dickens has invited the whole world to survey his private and domestic concerns. Uis will is the complement ot that strange document which Messrs. Bradbury & Evans would not allow to be published in a periodical of which he was the editor and they were proprietors when he separated from his wife. As to the rights or wrongs of that separation, or rather of what led to it, we pronounce no judgment, because we have no means of forming a judgment. Anyhow the incident furnished a remarkable absence of good taste, and, as mo9t people thought, of good feeliDg, and all on one side. Mr. Dickens paraded his domestic life to the world; Mrs. Dickens, from that day to this, has kept a modest and creditable silence. That Mr. Dickens had wrongs we shall neither deny nor affirm ; that Mrs. Dickens had none it would be hard to believe. One wrong she certainly had; she was aBsailed by her husband in public Mr. Dickens might have had justice all on his side -we do not say that he had not; but generosity on that occasion he did not display. And generosity he has not displayed in his dying testament. With the worst taste, Mr. Dickens, when in the vigor of life, affronted his wife by making his married life public property; and, dyiag, he has repeated the wrong and cflense. Profuse and unctions and stilted in his expressions of gratitude to his wife's 6ister, liberal in the provision that he - made for that lady, not forgetful of another lady, be has reduced his wife's income by one-half after his death, with something of a self laudatory announcement that he has already been far too

generous to her during his life. He leaves to hia wife, as an annuity, the interest of 8,000, coupled with the boastful reminder that he has since their separation allowed her 600 a year. We hardly call this "brave" or "arnesr." Tf Mr 7i;Ua VA kaan

Great Battle to be Foazht at Chalons. Prussians to Attack with 500.000 Man and 1.400 Cannon. Berlin, August 18. 11 A.M. The following official news has been made public here this morning: PONT-A-MOUSSON, 7 Wednesday Eve., Aug. 17. j Gen. Alvenstem advanced yester day with the Ihird Uorps towards the east side of Metz, on the line of the enemy's retreat towards Verdun. He encountered severe fighting with the divisions of Generals De Coen, L'Admirault, brossard, (Janrobert and the Imperial Guaid. Gen. Alvenstein was sustained successively by the Tenth Army Corps, and by detachments of the Eighth and INinth Uorps, commanded by Prince Frederick Ubarles. The enemy was driven upon Metz, in spite of his great superiority of forces, after a severe combat of twelve hours. The losses on both sides were very heavy. The Prussian Generals Doering and Widel were killed, and Gen erals Pacsch and Gruscher wounded. King William to-day halted the troops on the field of battle, which is gloriously maintained. London, August 13 Telegrams from Paris this morning, give the following resume of events since Sunday last: On that day, the French army engaged the Prussians before Metz. The latter suffered heavy losses. The French retreated on Verdun. On Monday, tbe Emperor was at Grarellotte, with 60,000 men. Subsequently occurred engagements at Longueville and at other places, the I rench constantly fighting and retreating, contesting every step. Oa Tuesday, the Emperor passed through Verdun and reached Rheims, where he now is. The Paris Presse says the report that the Prussians had demanded an armistice in order to bury the dead is fully confirmed, and praises Marshal Baziine for not according it. The peasants must bury the dead, and the army continue its work ef annihilating the enemy. The French forces are increasing and the Prussians are decressing. The hour of complete victory for France is near. There is great activity on the fortifications of Paris ; thousands of men are at work putting the defenses in a better condition. London, August 18 A telegram from Briey, a town fourteen miles west of Metz, has the following: An obstinate struggle occurred near Mars la Tour, yesterday, it is supposed thrt the engagement was general, as large numbers of wounded of both armies are arriving at Briey. Travelers report that a vast body of Prussians have been thrown back upon the Moselle, by the Imperial Guard. The Prussian artillery was entrenched between Briey and St. Jean. New York, Augu3t 18. By the arrival ot the schooner Tampico, Capr. Lombard, from Para, we learn that a collision occurred about July 25th, on the Amazon River, Brazil, between two steamers, one of which sunk within half an hour, with 2C0 passengers on board, 160 of whom were lost. She had a cargo on board valued at $450,000, without insurance on the vessel or cargo. The accident occurred at the mouth of the Madara, one of the tributaries of the Amazon. A Cuba correspondent notices that while the war between the Spaniards and Cubans languished, hostilities have broken out between a new set of belligerents. In Havana, the French and German loungers in the Louvre, came in conflict, on Monday evening of last week, and rained glasses and bottles upon each other until the police interfered. A correspondent writes that in Havana and throughout the Island, the Spaniards unanimously sympathiza with the Prussians, while the Cubans as unanimously uphold the cause of France, believing that Spain must

sooner or later, become a party to the war and fight against France.

Gen. De Rodas is of the same opin ion. New York, August 18. The World's London special savs there are continual reports of engagements, but they refer obviously to a series of conflicts which necessity entails up on the two armies by their vast numbers, and the extent of the lines by which they are moving. The Prussians will doubtless Ieve Verdun, behind them, as they have Metz Thionvule, Bitsch, btrasbourg and other fortified places. It is believed on the best authority that the French will concentrate at Chalons with 300,000 men and 1,000 euns, and that the Prussians will attack with ouu.uuu men ana i.-iuuguns. All actions of this week must be considered merely preliminary to one of the greatest conflicts the world has ever seen. It is thought here to be imperative upon both annie3 to bring on a decisive battle as soon as possible, for political rather than military reasons. The French capital is in a condition of ill suppressed revolution. It is understood that if Prussia wins, she will demand the expenses of the war, with the cessions of Lorraine and Alsace ; and upon this understandicg rests fears of European complications. Russia is beginiog to press the English government for an under standing, to maintain a balance of power. There are rumors of agitation among the Germans of Baltic-Russia and of the mobilization of the Rus sian army for the Prussian frontiers. Everything for tbe movement depends upon the result of the Bazaine battle near Chalons. : No news can be expected, for the armies are maneuvering off the lines of railways and telegraph, and where they are not cut, are absolutely controlled by the military.

" Schench's Pulmonic Btrup," for the cure of Ccnghs, Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Consumption. The peculiar action of this medicine ripens the nloers In the lungs, promotes the discharge of the corrupt matter by expectoration. Purifies the blood, and thus cures Consumption, when every other remedy falls. "Sohenck's Sea-Weed Tonio" for the cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all diseases arising from debility. This tonio Invigorates the digestive organs, supplies the plaoe of the gastric Juice when that Is deficient, and then enables the patient to digest the most nutrlolous food. It Is a sovereign remedy for all oases of indigestion. " Schenck's Mandrake Pills," one of tbe most valuable medicines ever discovered being a vegetable substitute for calomel, and having all the useful propert!4 ascribed to that mineral, without producing any of Its injurious effects. To these three medicines Dr. J. H Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his nn. rivaled success in the Treatment of Pul monic Consumption. Tbe Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter, discharges it, and purifies the blood. Tbe Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, remove all obstructions therefrom, . give the organ a healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint, Which is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. The Sea- Weed Tonic Invigorates the powers of the stomach, and by strengthen, ing the digestion and bringing it to a normal and healthy condition.
