phy and his staff publicly announced,
on the streets of Cornwall on Tuesday,
the character of the evidence adduced.
It is not very damaging.
Gov. Tod,- This gentleman says
the Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette has authorized
his friends to say, that the use of his
name as one of the Vice Presidents of
the Johnson National Union Club, so
called, was without his authority or
consent, and that he gave no authority
or license whatever to any one for
using his name as Vice President or
otherwise of any Johnson Clubj or
meeting; and further, that he has no
sympathy for any organization of reb
f els, Copperheads, or . men of doubtful
political character, -and disturbers tf
I- the harmony of our country.
Gov. , Tod Is the fourth or fifth gen -
! tleman who has publicly, repudiated
Mr..' Montgomery. Blair's Johnson
Club. Nothing shows the impudence
of the Blairs so clearly as this ap
pointment of. men as Vice Presidents
, of an Association which they do not
indorse, and' that, toowith out "their
consent," and even withouT consulting
-" Nothing can be devised Tnore fatal

An effort, is being made to consoli
date the Paducah Railroad with the
Mobile & Ohio Road, with the inten
tion of extending that thoroughfare
from Paducah to-Vincennes. We do
not know what prospect of success the
proposed consolidation thas,- but we
are fully conscious that if successful
and the Vincennes road is built, Ev
ansville fll Jbave received,; a severe
blow. It will be wisdom on the part
of our large real estite owners, mer
chants and manufacturers to antici
pate this movement by taking hold of
the Henderson & Nashville Road and
putting it through immediately. 'We
are surprised at theindifferejacff fiiani

prise upon which their future pros
perity must so largely depend. , With
out a southern railroad outlet Evans

her growth',' and realize that her pros
perity is on the ebb. Cities usually
go ' backwards which fail to take the
tide in their affairs at the flood. We
should like to see more animation on
matters that so manifestly affect our
future. -The mere- taking hold j of
great enterprises like water works,
hotels, public halls and railroads, will
of itself attract to our city a popula

able to insure th& completion of those

The Confederate Democratic press of
the North.', as well as Vthe South are
very generally taking the position that
the Union meriof the North are sole-
ly responsible for the .late war for the
preservation. of; the Union. The con
verse, if ' their premises are correct,
is that the"peopIef of the South were
justifiable in JrebelHng against the
Government and in . endeavoring to
destroy it. It has taken a good, deal
of "educating up " to enable some of
our mostieonservative Democratic pa
lers to take this position, but they
have pretty generally brought them
selves tO it. . ; : v .. i
" It is true that not .one.of these; pa
pers believe their own declarations on
this, subject, but they count so largely
on the ignorance of the masses that
they hope to gain cred.ence f among
their party-followers and thus hpist
themselves into power ,. , !

and we do not believe they will suc
ceed. j
We print on our second page
this morning, ; an article from the
Evansville Courier of Sunday last.
We hope every reader of the Joub,
NALwiU look .. at"' it carefully and
thoughtfully litis the most unblush
ing laudation of traitors that has ever
disgraced our city. We are pleased
to have tbe Courier oisplay its " hoi;ns,
hoofs and tail " so recklessly. Such
manifestations ,of admiration for reb
els, who have been foiled in their; ef
forts ta'destrbyL the Government, ia
not exactly the kiiid of Democracy
many of our people have been in the
habit of indorsing, and they are ;not
prepared to indorse it now. ;', 1

Democratic papers all over the
country have been echoing the, Couri-n

claim the result as a Democratic vic
tory. ! '!-
, Noble, of the Paducah Herald,, says
he teas a secessionist, but he has been
" reconstructed." His reconstruction
seems to consist mainly of intensified
hatred of -loyal men and those who
stand by Congress in it efforts to pre
vent the restoration of rebels to civil
power under the Government. That
Noble should abuse Gen. John A.
Logan is: a" compliment of which that
gentleman should feel proud. The
editor of the; Louisville ' Democrat,
who, perhaps, has enjoyed as good an
opportunity of knowing the character
of the editor of the 'Paducah ' Herald
as'any other gentleman in Kentucky,
has pronounced him a- contemptible
liar. - We have seen nothing?Jn the

the Democrat's statement. On the

- The Exchange Question
Edii tors "Journal: , - i
It seems a matter of surprise and
perplexity to a number of your read
ers that the writer of your monetary
articles continues so persistently to
misrepresent the Exchange market of
Evansville, and without presuming to
give, youany, ..advice, would, suggest
that it tends very muck to impair the
Teputatioti of your journal for veracity,
when it is patent to all who daily read
your .valuable paper that such state
ments are grossly incorrect, for the
proof of which, in your article ' of
April 6th, I find "New m York Ex
change continues scare with an active
demand, butiio change in the Tate has
as yet been established. , We give the
quotations par buying," and 1:10 pre
mium selling." Again, April 10th:
" Exchange on New York ia very firm
at par buying trad 1-10 selling." t , .
The foregoing examples are suffi
cient to show the general tenor of your
reoorts, which have been nearly sy-,
onimous for the past sixty days. The
writer is cognizant of the fact, and he
knows whereof he affirms, that at
least one of our banks has created
more' Exchange than "ifc6uld "carry
several times since the 1st of January
last, and irj order to meet the demand
for icurrericjr jgt supply its customers,
has on three several occasions "tele
graphed to Cincinnati for currency by
Exprss,and also sold Exchange' to a
neighboripg ba'nk " at SOvi pet M dis
count, which proves there has been no
scarcity, and very naturally causes the
unprejudiced reader to infer that Ex
change has no;been so "very firm.'''
In this connection it will not be
out of : place to give a little attention
(it don t require much), to the article
by "Candor," in - your isae of yester
day. He says: . "Every intelligent
business man knows that Banking,
like other business, must .-be so -con-ductcd.
as ,tp pay. or prove a failure."
Admitted ; but as a general rule do
"intelligent business men" make a
practice cdf broelaiminff their; profits
frotn the "house-tops?" I modestly
think not., it Is uot "the, intention ot
the writer to prolong thiscontroversy,
as it will -be obyioua to every one that
journalism is not his forte, bufcin con
clusion would say that he has some
times thought that there, must .be a
fascination about it, -judging -by the
readiness with which some of our
savans have been rushing into print,
but showing it is .not 'always carried
on "without that rancor which often
manifests itself in our community;"
or like J ohn in the Isle of Patmos
something prompts to "write,"- and
write they must. Cheapside.
