F&IDAY. AUGUST 28. tSIC. REPU BLICAN RALLY i II OX. O. r. MOBTON Will aSdresj his fellow citizens at Evansville, on THURSDAY, SEPT. 1st., at the Crescent City Springs, at 1 o'clock, P Ji, HALF-FARE RATES Will be charged from all points below Vincennes, on the E. & 0- Railroad. Lai there be a Grand Xsxlly of the people to honor oar distin guished Senator aDd statesman. Ths first number of the Banner, a new German Republican paper, made its appearance in Terra Haute on Tuesday. We are indebted to Mr. Preaua, Secretary of the Posey County Agricultcral Society, for tickets to their Twelfth Annual Fair, at New Harmony. These fairs are the most popular of any held in this part of the State, and w? are assured that the exhibition this year will be more than usually interesting. We aho acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. William Milliken, for a complimentary tioket to the Paducah and McCracken County Fair. This, too, promises to be more than usually interestirg. A ssobt article from the New York World, which we print this morning, shows very conclusively with which side, in the Franco-Prussian war, are the sympathies and hopes of the great organ of the Democratic party. Any one who will read our daily dispatches, and carefully observe the special dispatches to that paper, can not resist the conclusion that the de feat of the German armies, and the desolation of their country, is the wish nearest the heart of the Democratic World. The paper, it is hardly necessary to add, only reflects the feelings of the great mass of its party Squandering Money. The allowance, by the City Council, ot one hundred and fifty dollar to Messrs. Bippus and Mann, was the grossest misapplication of the public funds to reward party favorites. The purpose for which they were employed was discreditable, the mannner in which they attempted to misrepresent the accounts of an honest officer most shameful, and their pay ment excessive and an outrage upon the tax-payers. It is not surprising that the value of real estate has to be increased fifty per cent, when euoh contemptible jobs have to be provided for. Mr. Greek had settled with the proper authorities, and his accounts declared to be all right. But, in order to throw discredit upon the former Council, Bippus and Mann wore employed to noso over that settlement and see if they could nut emell something out of which a little party capital might be manufactured. These amiaMe and honest young gen tlemen, understanding the wishes of their employers, reported a defalcation in Mr. Greek's accounts, amounting to some hundreds of dollars. Mr. Greek met their report by demonstrating that they were either asses or dishonest, and that, by their own showing, the oity was actually indebted to him. To this reply, the Smelling Committee attempted a rejoinder weak and contemptible. The whole matter was then referred to a Committee of the Council, who, after looking into it, threw the report of Bippus and Mann aside, as furnishing no evidence whatever against Mr. Greek or the correctness of his settlement with the city. So, at least, we are informed by a member of the committee. Yet, for this mean attempt, by mean instrumentalities, to injure the reputation of a Republican official, and the Republican Council with whom he settled, the tax-payers are compelled to "fork over" one hundred and fifty dollart. By taking notice to expenditures of this character, the people will be better able to understand the necessity of adding from twenty-five to fifty per cent, to their taxes. Inequality In Taxation. We have heard some few partisans who are determined to believe that the Van Hiper Council ia infallible, and cannot commit a blunder or do a wrong assert that the excess in the valuation of the Real Estate will work no hardship for said excess in the appraisement will be more than equalized by a reduction in the rate ot taxation. Iadeed.it seems to be the intention cf the present Council to make a good showing for the sale of bonds by swelling the appraisement of real estate, and at the same time reducing the per cent, of taxation. Succeeding in this design they will say to dealers in bonds: "Evansville is a growing and prosperous city. In one year its taxables have increased from $13,000,000 to $2i,000,000. At the same time the rate of taxation has decreased from one and one fifth per cent, to one per cent. Thus, while our property is rapidly enhancing in value, the rate of taxation is steadily declining. Oar bonds, therefore, are among the very best in the market for permanent investment, because they can aot do otherwise than steadily increase in value." This theory looks plausible enough, but, practicably, is unjust and vicious in the extreme. We desire to direot attention to some of its defects. ' We have two classes of taxables Real Estate and Personal Property. Under ths law, Personal Property is assessed by the owners thereof, and is beyond the control of the Council in any shape or form. That body can

oot go bemud the bc'ueuule ftiraislicd by the property holder, whatever they may think of its correctness. Practically, Personal Property is never given in at more than one-third, or one-half its value, at the outside. We

state a fact known to every tax-payer who has taken the pain3 to look over the assessor's returns. We are conndent that more than one-half the personal property owned and held in the city escapes taxation. Ine reai eastate. on the other hand, is at the mercy cf the City Council. The houses and lots cannot hide nor can they run away. Their owners are not permitted to assess their value, "or the purpose of taxation, even upon oath. Now let us examine the practical working of the new theory of taxation introduced by the nrescnt Council. A and B each own $5,000 worth of property. A is known as a liberal liver. He has his money invested in fine horses and bugjies, gold watches, diamond riDgs, &c.,with a reserve in cash for speculative purposes. B, a laboring man, with a growing family, has his Barillas earnings invested in a house and Jot, which he is endeavoring to im prove and by its improvement add to the beauty and importance of the city. The Assessor oalls upon A for a list of taxables, and he gives in hi3 $5,000 worth of personal property at $2.500v and thereby cains the credit of being unusually conscientious. The Counnil. in the meantime, appraises B's little homestead at its fall value $5,000. The rate of taxation is fixed at li per cent. The result is, A pays $37 50, and B $75 00- or double A's, by virtue of having his money invested in real estate instead of fancy horses and jewelry. One would think this inequality was sufficient for all practical purposes. But now comes the Van Riper Council, with their new theory of taxation a reduction of the rate by an increase of the valuation. A3 A s pioperty is beyond their reach, it aeain arDcars on' the daDlicate at $2,500. Bat B's house is raised from $5,000 to $7,500. or fifty per tent. The rate cf taxation is reduced, we will say, from one and a half to one per cent. Now how does it work? Why, A. oa his $2,500. representing $5,000, pays only $25, while B, on his $7,500 valuation representing $J,000, pays $75. or thrice what A pays. Does it not strike every sensible man that nobody can afford to hold real estate with suoh UDjust discriminations against it? This new policy of taxation, besides being unjust, is ruinous to the growth of the city. A city is always estimated by the appearance of its real estate and improvements. The rule never varies. Strangers are favorably or unfavorably impressed as they behold fine buildings or Ehabby and cheap houses. Now, what capitalist will bo so insane as to erect a ten or twentv thnnsand dollar hnihlinf. when he can make a. live or ten thou sand dollar edifice answer his purpose, if the fystem of taxing real estate fifty per. cent, mora than it is ac tually worth, is to be inaugurated and become the rule? This is a practical matter for the consideration of tax payers. We regard the re-appraisement of real estate by the present council as a direct blow at the prosperity of the city. Unless it is diverted or changed, our mechanics will find that some of them, at least, had better begin to look for home3 in a city where a more sensible system of taxation prevails. We can assure them that hereafter only a cheap order of bouses, and not a great number of them, will be erected, once it' is understood that money so invested is to be taxed 75 per cent, higher than when invested in any other species of property. The Crown Prince of Prussia. Mr. King, the war correspondent of the Boston Journal, several of whose interesting letters we have already published, gives a graphic description of his visit to the headquarters of Princa Frederick William, jast preceding his invasion of Francs and the battle of Weissenburg. We copy his description as follows: Sunday, however, hardly existed for us. From the hights of Heidelberg, yea, even from the great tower of MKcenigstuhl," the "King's seat," we surveyed the plain through whioh we were to travel at the risk of getting ucLweeu imu uio vi iwd armies, xne Neckar wound away a silvery thread, in sinuous sunshine, with tranquil bargemen sintfiDtr and floating their cratt between the flowery banks, unconscious of war, and afar off, where me mists oi aistance lent enchantment, we could low and then see a flash of the Rhine. Yonder lay the Pialz, the battle ground. Yonder were the four towers of the grand old cathedril of Speyer, the "tomb of the Emperors," the home of Barbarossa. We changed horses that afternoon and rattled away to Speyer. Here the Bavarian troops were crowding the way, and we began at once to feel the annoyance of following a great army. Sometimes we came upon a bivouac where hundreds of sturdy cavalrymen were sprawling among their horses, and sometimes on a line of the blue-coated infantry, sweltering and drooping under their heavy weights. By and by the marshy banks of the Rhine came in sight; we caw the Bavarian flag fluttering over house tops. Just as we were crossing tho Rhine bridge a modest vehicle, with a moon-faced Bavarian post-boy whipping his horses, overtook us. The two gentlemen in the carriage gravely saluted, and we saw at a glance that the elder and graver was the Crown Prince of Prussia, coming to his command. So we were at headquarters, and the "field" was evidently close at hand. Tho Crown Prince is a handsome, quiet-faced gentleman, past his first youth, full of military ardor and knowledge, and is quite conscious of the tremendous task devolving upon him ts commander of the Southern army. His Btake, too, is the largest in Prussia, for he plays to win or lose a throne, and a rule over a united German people. Nothing coald be simpler than his tenue de campagne the plain blue coat with the red collar, which every offiaar wears, and a light cap and cloak.. The Bavarians

receieJ Litu enthusiastically, and Le installed himself- for the evening in a large, antique mansion, very like the Washington house at Cambridge. A visit to the .headquarters convinced cs that no move was to be made toward the front that night (July 31). A huge dinner was on the tapis, and the officers of the staff, amounting to more than one hundred, were to be inspired by a 6peech from the heir to the throne. The most noticeable feature of the Prince's ar

rival was the love the Bavarians, so lately his enemies, seemed to manifest towatd him, although many of the staff officers were decorated with medals from the 1SC6 campaign, given for whipping the soldiers ot Jiavana. Although tne people ot tne town were, and still are, making active preparations to receive the thousands of wounded that must 60oacome to their doors, they found tima to rejoice in the innumerable beer gardens, and to 6icg the songs of unity with loud voices. All night the soldiers, billeted in the mansions as well as tbe little inns, kept up a harmonious thun der of song. Next morning, early, there was an immense movement of troops through the town. The Bavarian infantry, among whom was a large proportion of raw recruits, were marched toward Landau as fast as they could be got into the ranks, and the bitter heat made savage work among them. These soldiers are evidently not so good fighters as the Prussians, and the large proportion of youths from eighteen to twenty among them make it doubtful whether their flanking the French will be very successful. The cavalry is superb, and probably the most effective army of tbe Southern service. How it will fare in this new and terrible warring with the "coffeepot mitrailleuse " remains to be seen. The fate of most of the oavalry in European armies is to be decided within the next few weeks. If their uselessness, as many claim, can be demonstrated in one or two gigantic tattles, a thorough reform will follow in all the armies. The Bavarian forces.which I suspect moved through this town toward the strong quadrilateral's other angle, number as follows: infantry 50,000 men; cavalry 5.800 men; artillery 7,000 men, with 192 guns, mainly four, six and twelve pound rifled guns. The remainder of the southern forces are, the Baden infantry, 10,600 men; cavalry 2,800; artillery 1,800,, with 54 guns. The Wurtemburg infantry 16,000 men: cavalry 2.200; artillery 1.800 with 54 guns. We learn here, too, at headquarters, that the whole force distinctly known as "Prussians" amounts at present, first, to 394,000 infantry, 53,500 cavalry, 51,000 artillery, with 1,212 guns. In addition there are 20,000 pioneers, and the baggage train foroes are not counted. These figures are taken from very reliable eouroes, and I cannot imagine why they are so freely given, and the whole force is now nearly in position, and a battle is hourly expected. Indeed, I cannot understand at all the freedom with which we are allowed to pass everywhere, and even to climb upon and wander around the fortifications. Yesterday we ran suddenly into the fag end of the line marching into Landau. The officers were swearing fiercely, and forcing the tired men down from the wagons. We expected to be hustled into a neighboring ditch, because a party of the Fifth corps hussars were coming like demons kicked in end from the other direction. But no! an orderly comes back to us and inquires our names, so that, if we were of sufficient importance, we may pass. We do not think we are, but the wagons and weary men switch off, and wc rattle through, as at Wiesbaden the other dav. Mr. orderly touching nis nat. and the grave cli officers smiling welcome. In five minutes we are in Landau. Base Ball. The national game seems to be gaining admirers in our State. The following from the Indianapolis Journal shows the. rapidly increasing interest in the game, at the State Capital : The spirit that has been awakened lately in reference to base ball in our midst, has induced a number of persons to think that a first-class professional club of the very first ability might be made to pay ia this oity. Steps are now being taken by a number of our busioess men that will secure to Indianapolis for the season of 1871, a base ball club, first-class in every respect, and, if possible, tbe lest club in the United States. This is no idle boast or mere chimera. The men are ready and willing to enter into an arrangement of this sort. Then thero is no doubt but that if it is carried to a sucoess it will be of great benefit to Indianapolis. Tbe Red Stockings are worth $200,000 a year to the business men and citizens of Cincinnati, because when a big game is played there the town is filled to overflowing with visitors along the line of the different railroads leading into the city. We hope to see the matter successfully, carried throngh, and in a few days to give our readers something more definite. The Campaign in a Xntshell. It is three weeks to-day since Kirg William left Berlin to head his troops. In that time the Prussians have had one unbroken succession of victories, telegraphic and other, and by the aid of these triumphs have progressed into France for some fifty miles from the border. The progress, further, haB been made prior to the 15th instant, since which date there has been constant fighting, and even more than the usual number of telegraphic viotories, with no known progress for the Prussians at all. Now, if progression be the Prussian plan of campaign, and last week's hammering at Bazaina has resulted ia no progression, it is evident that the substantial victory in all this desperate fighting is not with the Prussians, but with Bazaine. While he remains on the line chosen by him between Met z and Verdun, no force can march upon Paris without exposing its flank to his assault ; and to obviate such an exposure Steinmetz and Princa FredericChsrlea, with the flower of the Prussian army, have been desperately seeking to break that line every day for a week. It is still held held as a matter of course with heavy losses; but heads have been broken on the Prussian side, too, and there is no reason to suppose but that with losses anything like equal Bazaine is as goo i to hold as his opponents are to assail his line another week. Put into a nutshell, the campaign since the 15th inst. is, that the Prussians have been seeking to pass, by breaking Bazaino's line, and as they have not passed, that line is still intact. As to the dispatches about the Emperor and Empress, we find that Napoleon, who was dead, was dying, was about to abdicate, was ea rouse to London, had a febrile monomania, whatever that is, and was crying out night and day, "I am betrayed," is really alive, in ordinary health, still sovereign of France, at Chalons, not London, and has no monomania beyond the highly proper

him come up from Chalons at the '

head of the quarter of a million of . it i . men, one-tmra veterans, there gatti ered, and join Bazaine. snd one fruit of the junction will be such a turning of the tablets as will lead to a victory not perhaps altogether telegraphic. As for the Empress, whose jewels, Louia included, were in London, whose health was gone, whose head was turned, and whose trunks were all in marching order, there she is in Pans, still Regent, working for h ranee by sitting in the Council, and by preparing each necessity and comfort for the wounded from the field. m As to the Committee of Safety, the irreconcilable rising, the plentiful lack of chassepots and rations, these respectable bugbears have amiably quit burdening the telegraph. France, say the school books, is the most powerful military government in Europe, and as yet it is not necessary to rewrite that statement for the better information of youth. When King William completes his programme by signing articles of peace in the Tuilenes with the Count de Paris will be the day .N. Y. World. Afternoon XMspatclies. THE WAR IN EUROPE.

London. Aueu3t 25 Noon. The entire command of McMahon left Rheims on Monday, hoping to protect Jraris. Prussian scouting parties are near Unalocs and 1 roves. Montmedy advices to the 23d, Tues day, mention nothing whatever of Ba zaine's junction with McMahon. Ba zaine's reports find no credit. Prussian detachments are reported at Chaumont and Brienne. The Paris committee of defense has given an order for ths destruction of crops and food in tho departments of the Mam and ceine, as the Prussians approach. London, August 25. Strasbourg is well defended. According to a tele graDhio correspondent the de tensive fire had destroyed all property witmn range ot tne guns. The Frenoh armies are now well supplied with provisions of all kinds A Paris letter says the great fear of the iraruiaas is, taatsome success of Drench arms may enable the Jjmperor to regain Fans. Correspondents cf London news papers concur that the French au thorities will only treat for peace be yond the Rhine. Dense fogs still cover the battle field. It is believed in Strasbourg that Marshal Bazaine has been severed from the main French army, and his power completelylparalyzed. Chalons has been abandoned, and it is said tho Crown Prince will to-day enter that city as well as Rheims, meeting with no resistance, while Prince Frederick Charles moves on Paris direct. The Liberie, refeiriog to the infor mation received from private sources. says the siege of Paris is altogether improbable now. The Fatrie repeats formally that the Prussians were defeated in the battle of Smday. Miscellaneous Kuropesa Intelligence New York, August 25. The Courier des EtaU ITnis' Paris special telegraphs that a decided change is apparent in ear military situation within the last forty-eight hours. We look back on ourselves after three weeks of disappointment and defeat, and tomorrow perhaps we shall take the offensive; such at least is the opinion which prevails at the War Department and throughout official circles. This is the intellur2nce which 1 have obtained: After the defeat of iroschwileer, the debriioi the corps engaged, retreated in pretty good order npon Saverne and Nancy .whence they were transported to Chalons by the Strasbourg Railroad as rapidly as the diaorgaoizad service of that line would permit. On the other hand, a part of the troops encamped in the center and south of Alsace, as well as the large garrison of Belfont, were sent forward to Chalons by Paris and Montmedy; at the same time the expeditionary force concentrated at Cherbourg in order to operate on the shores of the Baltic, and nearly forty thousand troops of the line, were also dispatched to Chalons, where they all arrived in five days. These fcices, added to the 15,000 regulars from Paris and the frontier town3 of Belgium, made up an effective army of" 100,000 ; 35,000 of the Gardes Mohila were added to them. under the able direction of General Trochu. These forces, lately entirely distinct, have not been slow to con solidate into an army, homogeneons and unused to war, with all the neces sary material for the campaign. After completing the formation of thia army. General Trochu went to

new army, after having rallied, with

considerable loss, the last detachment of tbe corps beaten inthe battleof the 6th of August. McMahon has arrived at Chalons and has been placed at the head of the army raised by Trochu. His first care was to secure his communication with Bazaine, who had been almost hemmed in at Metz by the Prussians. He succeeded, I am assured, and his advanced posts are extended as far as Meziers and Montmedy, and cover the Arden Railroad, and a line parallel with the frontier, after which it proves that communications with Metz were intact. There was an arrival yesterday, at Soissons, of a great number of Prussians made prisoners at Grayellotte. Another convoy is also on its way. This fact proves that this day, so fiercely disputed, was not without glory for us since wo have leisure to make and guard prisoners. As for the plans for McMahon, nothing is published. I know the Ministry is inflexible on this point. The Prince Royal of Prussia seems to realize the risks which he is running, anda will try, eventually, to go to the aid ot" his confederates, in camping, for it is affirmed here that he has retraced his steps, and retreated on .St. Michael. It maybe true, however, according to another report, that he continues his march on Paris by the valley of Auber. In any case, we are ready to receive them. A battle occurred at Metz on Sunday, which ended in our favor. Something decisive is preparing in that quarter. New York, August 25. A competent1 observer, who arrived ia Perciene from Paris, on Monday, thus describes the state of feeling in that city regarding the war: "I was a witness of much that occurred after the defeat ot McMahon and the retreat of brossard. Xbe French believe that the Prussians de liberatelv. wantonly and faithlessly insulted France. They wane to fight and mean to, as long as physical pow er remains. ."In all the gatherings 1 saw 1 never beard once, a Bat Napoleon, or V Em verevr. I often heard.

It is well understood in France that the war was not a Bonaparte war: that the Emperor's personal wishos were for an European agreement to reduce tbe war establishment ot the differ ent powers. "The French are surprised at the Prussian proclivities of the English Public opinion as to the alliance with Ecgland has always been most honest on the part of France. The necessity and nse of it has been keenly felt by the Emperor, and its cordiality has been to a great extent his personal work.

"This is the first war of the Empire to which the Faubourge St. Germain, tbe old legitimists, have sent their sons. Tbe Orleans Princes desired service, even as volunteers, so that the socialists' party may see in the defeat of France a means of realizing a solidarity of humanity is possible, and that if emutes occur or conspiracies exist, the work is theirs.
