Evansville Daily Journal, Volume 17, Evansville, Vanderburgh County, 9 November 1865 — Page 2

NOVEMBER 9. We present our readers, thia morning, with the JotjasiL in an enlarged form. For some weeks past oar adf erUsements ' have gradually curtailed the reading matter in our paper, until we found it impossible to publish oar nsual variety of editorial, local, news, and miscella neons reading, and at the same time ac commodate all who manifested a desire to advertise with ns. We think our paper is now of a size that will secure . both there results. . r We cannot but feel a just prid e in the Journal in its present dimensions, not alone because it is an evidence of the kindness and favor oar hnmble efforts ' have met with at the hands of a liberal people, but also because it is a manifestation of the rapid growth and prosper! ty of our city. Several years have made an astonishing change in Evansville. To those who have lived here during that time, the cLr n- i -not so perceptible, because, while it has been rapid, it has also been gradual. But strangers who saw our city then and look upon it now , would not recognize it as . the sme place. Jufct now, too, the changes in onr business and manufacturing interests are marked and flattering. The rush from other cities is marvelous, and the demand for business rooms and residenc es is "moat astonishing far beyond the supply. - While hat two other papers in our State one at the capital and the other at Lafayette are as large as the Journal, a marked difference between them and our paper is observable, in that their adertising columns are largely occupied with advertisements foreign to the localities in which they are published, while our patronage is almost exclusively a home trade. From the first we have persistently ' refused to canvass other cities for advertisements, believing that by confining onr entire attention to advocating the interests of per merchants and manufacturers, and seeking to draw trade to them, instead of directing it to other and rival cities, we should ultimately .- baild up ourselves more successfully than if we pursued an opposite policy. Our expecta' ions have not been disap-J pointed. That our confidence in the . growth of the business of the city, and the liberality of our merchants and manufacturers, has not been misplaced, is evident in glancing over our columns. In- conclusion, while returning our hearty thanks for past favors, wa pledge onr undivided efforts to still further en- ' hance the interests of our commerce ' and manufactures. So long as we are sustained as we have been, we are resolved that the Journal shall be a faithful sentinel on the walla, jealous of the encroachments of rival cities, sounding the alarm at the appearance of any and every project antagonistic to our inter ests, and encouraging by cheering words every public or private enterprise that promises to add to the growth and pros perity of onr city. In fjhese endeavors, we solicit the hearty co-operation of onr people. Soldiers' Home. The Indianapolis Journal having re commended that application be made to the General Government to turn over the hospitals at Jefferson ville, Indiana, to the State authorities, and that they be fitted up for a Soldiers' Home, the Mad ison Courier endorses the recommenda- ; tion, and says that was the plan it always favored. It thinks the Journal is beginning to see the impracticability of establishing the kind of a Soldiers' Home advocated by the leading citizens of the capital a short time ago. The ' Courier declares, further, that, " had the same persons who labored '. in behalf of individual donations for the purchase of grounds, buildings, and so forth, devoted but one-half .their labor for the donation by the Ov rr.n;f!it cf 80mj of its hospitals for a ' Soldiers' aud'Seamen's Home,' that they did fp? their Utopian enterprise, some of them would now be , in possession of the State for that purpose. The Genral Government prompttnrflSAvr to the State of Ohio, the SSpital situated near . Columbus, upon the application of the lamented Governor Brough. Could not the Governor of Indiana have done as much for his State?" We rather agree with the Courier that the zeal of our friends at the capital so largely outran their discretion that it soon got out of breath. . . . J V The Cairo people are exercising themselves, just now, when not occupied with the chills and fever, in agitating the propriety of reviving and building the Illinois Southern Railroad. They are chattering about the enterprise vigorously, but we anticipate that, for some time yet, nothing will be accomplished beyond a good deal of miscellaneous talking. We trust, however, that the enterprise rny go through, for Evansville would like to tap the contemplated road very much.; . . ; " The Rockport Democrat devotes aearly a columu to telling what the Democratic party has not done. Suppose, now, it , inform its readers what that party has done, namely, that, failing to control the administration of the Government and use it in building ap the institution of slavery, it plunged the - country into civil war, sacrificed nearly a million of valuable lives, filled the land with sorrow and woe, and heaped up a debt of near three, thousand millions, which the people have yet to pay. The las' issue of the Franklin Democrat, a Copperhead sheet of the rankest and most .unscrupulous type, contains a paragraph in regard to Governor Morton and "a brother of the Chris tian Commission," bo mean and contemptible in its character, that we are surprised that the band which penned the article was not paralyzed. The editor of the Democrat is a liar and dirty poltroon "a fetid fattener on the gatb- . of thou sh t," whose braiot is lumir.oaswith the phosphorescent glimmer ' '-ness -a man a .beast a dog. i;. . - j - '""i saying, but we, .

At least twenty-four kinds of wine were drank, and the price of some of the brands, the Imperial Tokay for instance, was 150 per bottle. Such criminal waste of money, when there is so much suffering in the world to be relieved, will not i on nnrnhuked n The New Orleans papers describe wandering, penniless pensioner npon the bounty of his friends, daily seen in the streets of that city, who, a few years ago, was upon the pinnacle of prosperity, and on one occasion entertained bis friends with a supper similar in extravagance to that recently served up at Delmonico's to such sterling advocates of econ omy, frugality, and industry as Horace Greeley. The New Orleans voluptuary has lived to see the folly and wickedness of his extravagance; it may be that many of the gentlemen participating in. the Delmonico demonstration wilel taught a similar lesson. . . j Markets in pork seem to be a little unsettled. On Monday there was a heavy decline in mess in New York. It sold as low as $31.25, but later in the day recovered f 1 per barrel. In Cincinnati the price declined to $30, at which first-class city brands sold. Bacon sides sold at 15c , a heavy decline. The feeling in regard to hogs was much depressed. There was little disposition to operate, on the part of packers. On Thursday, the 9th instant, the voters of North Carolina will be called up on to express their views npon the fol lowing matters;, "1. For the ratifica tion or rejection of An Ormnance De claring Null and Void the Ordinance of May the 20th, 1861. 2. For the ratification or rejection of 'An Ordinance Prohibiting Slavery in the'State of North Carolina.' 3. For a Governor and Members of the General Assembly. 4. For seven Members of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States. 5. For Clerks aj?'d Sheriffs 6f the respective counties." A Good ,Wobd fob the J ews An exchange says the Jews as a body, have shown a full share of patriotism. They have sent about 40,000 soldiers into the field during the late war. They have, also, given of their wealth to the soldiers. They have, established five asylums for disabled soldiers, their widows and orphans, the benefits of which are limited to no faith or creed one at New York, one at Philadelphia, one at Cincinnati, one at Chicago and one at St. Louis. In the Common Pleas Court last week, judgment was rendered against the city for payment of the bounty to. those soldiers who enlisted nnder the call for volunteers from the city with the promise of $200 bounty. Messrs. Blakely. k Co., who bought up these claims, received yesterday $13,614 75. Louis title Press. Served her right! The volunteers ought to"have been paid, and the city ought to be ashamed of herself for trying to cheat the men out of their bounty. State or the Public Debt We are indebted to the Hon. Hugh McCuIloch, Secretary of the Treasury, for a statement of the condition of the public indebtedness on the 31st of Octo ber, which shows a further decrease of $4,092,967, in the national li ibilities since the close of September. The total debt on Tuesday last was $2,740,854,759, as against $2,744,947,726 a month ago, and $2,757,689,571 on the 3Ist.of Augustshowing a clear reduction of $16,834,812 within the last two months or at the rate of $101,003,872 a year. The debt on the 31st of October stood as foU lows: Coin-bearing, $1,161,137,692, and currency bearing, $1,191,819,787; the annual interest charge on which is given at $67,670,341 in coin, and $71,267,738 in lawful money; making the total of the yearly interest, $138,938,079. In the coin-bearing portion of the debt, an increase is discernable, and in the currency interest portion, a corresponding contraction, traceable to the recent funding of compound interest notes into five twenty gold bearing bonds. The caBh balance remaining to the credit of the Treasury in the various depositories of the public moneys at the close of October, is eiven at $68,355,-' 579, including $34,554,987 in com, (equal, with gold at 145, to $50,104,723 in currency, and $33,800,592 in lawful money) The outstanding legal-tender issues of the Government at the beginning of the current week amounted to $633,709,581, as against $679,126,940 at the close of the preceding month, showing a reduction of nearly forty-four and a half million dollars in this important item, within the past four weeks, or at the rate of eleven million dollars a week. Altogether the last debt exhibit, published elsewhere to day, is eminently conservative and encouraging. The country has cause for congratulation that the management of the Treasury is in the hands of so able and sound a financier as Hugh McCulloch. Ind. Journal. - ... ... .-t .. v " Time Honored Principles." " At " a " Democratic " procession in -Syracuse, on the 17th day of August, of last year, on the occasion of . a Democratic State Convention; whereat Vallandigham, Fernando Wood, and other leading Democratic orators harrangued' the assembled mul.itnde, banners bearing the following .inscriptions were prominently displayed: " No more victims for slaughter pens. Not a man not a dollar." f " Lincoln . has , murdered' three "white men to free one negro.';. f - " , "Free ballots or free' bullets. . Crush the tyrant Lincoln before be crushes you." : -r , , " The Constitution we would obey, bat arbitrary arrests we will resist unto death." "The people are ready to take vengeance on the advocates of civil war." "A despot has his parasites, and liberty hath her avenger." . : "American soil scourged by an unconditional despot in Abraham Lincoln." The : gentlemen who carried these banners are the same who are now shouting huzzas for the soldiers, and talking long and loud abont their admiration of the President Were they in earnest then, or are they now only at- j tempting to deceive the people in order to obtain the offices and violate their obligations as did Horatio Seymour and bis friends in 1862? Have they changed their principles, or are they traitors still. Ind. Journal The London Lancet, speaking of the cholera, remarks that the experience of previous epidemics proves that several local outbreaks of the disease in autumn and winter have preceded the great epidemio irruption in the following year. This was the case in 1848-'49, and in 1853-'54. Another English journal remarks that King Cholera hates soap, and abominates water and cleanliness; but give him stinking sewers, heaps of offal, and ill-policed streets and quays, and his Majesty will hold full court even in a Republic.

i 6 Ml. Aclgbbnrs an i Ik lWg through t.-utral. and ; boutnern munii" i-i"uiit, -"on ..u.w...,; ... , ,. ..n . . ., from the soutn, we ieu morunea at me bare, comfortless and tasteless appearance of too many of the Indiana farmera' houses In the South the most insignificant country house looks cool and comfortable or warm and cosy, accordmfs u iu lua uituuuuu,K of magnificent caks and other forest or fruit trees., While the grounds were laid out with a view to please the eye, the large houses were not without pretentions to architecture, skill and beauty. Little trouble or expense is required to indicate refinement within farm resi dences, yet, we are sorry to say, those of our State are not so characterized. Evi dence of a lack of a cultivated love of beauty prevails to an extent that is pain ful to witness among such an intelligent and industrious population. We observed several new and even fine houses planted in the center of rich farms, which, from the want of those graceful additions, wore such an appearance as to' hurt the sensibilities of a person of tasteof one who wishes ' to, see our agricultural population not. merely pecuniarily "well off," butj also mentally superior. The farm reei-i dences we say looked naked, sad, and comfortless. It seemed as if the inhabitants could have no pleasing enjoyments in summer, other than those of a coarse, animal nature, and must be sad and sorrowful in winter, unless the neighboring grocery assisted them in lt way. A few, it is true, had numbers of dwarfish , evergreens, nnder. which mice and rats might burrow, but those were wretched substitutes for the shade ot the natural forest and fruit trees. . By the way, Indianapolis is fast becoming an o.-namental city, and a credit to the State. - Its inhabitants are doing their utmost towards architectural adornment, fanciful decorations, and display. The shops and store windows, too, and the exhibition of goods are of the most rtcherclit and enticing style. I noticed also the opening of a number of haadsome, new. stores in the leather, dry goods, and grocery wholesale lines, with apparently extensive stocks going in. The Evansville folks must bestir themselves and "consider." That trade will find its level is' true, bat railroads are now-, the chief channels by which the streams of commerce flow, and they will find their way wherever these lead and nowhere else. W e must add to our naturaladvantages what we can of those artificial, as well as diligently and wisely use the former, or we shall lose the prestige of locality and fall behind the position we might occupy. We mast occupy as well as possess the various routes, or others will for us, and thus would Evansville lose much of that trade which it looks upon as its natural right. Littlo effort and money is needed to retain and increase the districts depending on us, but once lost, they can never be . regained. Look to it. The rivers are not open to ns alone. Facilities and convenience, but a little more than we offer, can lead the trade past our shores, or stop it short, or turn it aside from us. In ..large or fine buildings we cannot excel in any telling degree. ' But in judicious employment of capital in aid of natural advantages we may place ourselves upon a superior footing. Evansville should noi be left entirely on one side of the great lines of transit. It must have Southern rail extension. It should endeavor to become not only a point of transit, but a centre of trade and manufacture, which would be the natural result cf home-sustained diverging lines, but not without. Foreign capital is jut as apt to establish a shipyard or dock, for instance, or other .enterprise, at Madison, Mound City, or Paducah, as at this place. Natural advantages count for much; but along the Ohio River, art and the wise employment ot capital must determine the precedence of one place over another in . the long run. If the Crawfordsville road and the canal, with its prospects in the beginning, had terminated at Mount Vernon

or Newburgh, who can doubt "that ther5"""

two places would now occupy reverse positions in the scale of commercial importance? And in the same manner is the competitive progress of larger places governed. : . It is true of . cities, as of individuals, that Nature helps those most who help themselves, and that trade will find its level by the easiest, most reliable, and convenient channels. .; At Indianapolis, we sojourned at the Spencer House, a most excellent hotel. Remarkably so, considering its moderate charges. A not unattractive feature of the dining tables, is a dozen or two of good looking waiters. Attentive and noiseless, they seemed to us much more suitably ;employed than would a lot of lazy, clumsy men. B. K. D. Important Revenue DeclslonCablnet Makers Interested. The following letter has been addressed by Commissioner Rollins, to an As sessor of Internal Revenue: - Tbeasokt Department, Officb of Internal Revenue ... Washington, Oct 20, 1865. - Sib: Your letter of October 2btb. with one inclosure in relation to furniture, has been received. - In answer, I have to say that the manufacturer is liable to a duty of 6 per cent on the entire value of all furniture (including-mattresses, feather bedding, bureaus, tables, washstands, chairs, etc.) he makes, when the same is sold, or removed for sale, use or delivery. ..When-he buys articles on which the duty has been paid, and more completely finishes them for use or sale, by upholstering, painting, varnishing, oiling, etc., he is liable to a duty of six per cent. n.thg increased value only thereof. " '-No deduction csnJbe allowed on the sale, of marble-top furniture for the cost of the marble tops, though the duty may have been paid thereon. ::. .- -When a pieoe of - carving, becomes a part of an "article of furniture on which no duty has been paid, its value cannot be deducted from the value of such articles of furniture, though the duty may have been paid on the piece of carving. The increase of value given an article by finishing ' is the price at which it is sold; less the cost of the original article before finisaing, . . ... , "For example: A cabinet maker buys a bureau, on which, the duty has been paid, for twenty dollars, paints, varnishes or more completely finishes it, and sells it for thirty dollars. The increased value of this bureau is ten dollars. "" When a manufacturer buys an article on which the duty has been paid, and sells them' in the same condition, they were in when bought, he is not required to return them as manufactures, . but when such sales exceed one thousand dollars per annum he is liable to a dealtr's license. . , - . . . , I believe all the Questions raised in. the letters inclosed by yours are answer-, ed above.
