The citizens of Vanderburgh county who

Federal Administration, to the extension of
slavery into the Territories, and to the cor
rupt and venal administration of our State

and who are in favor of preserving the in
tegrity of the Union, and the supremacy of
the Constitution, and the laws passed in
pursuance thereof, against the treason of
any sectional party, are invited to meet in
Convention at the Court House, on the eve
ning' of Tuesday, the 7th day of February,
1SG0, to consider as to the best course to be
pursued in reference to the approaching

Bayard Taylor's Lecture.
It is unnecessary to say anything in com
mendation of Mr. Taylor's lecture to-morrow
night. The simple announcement of
his lecture will crowd a much larger hall
than can be found in this city. He is per
haps the most popular lecturer in this coun
try. As an author, perhaps his books have
been more widely read than those of any
other man ineither continent, within the last
ten years, containing the richness of thought
and observation obtained from a world-wide
travel, with the lieauty and simplicity of his
style, and the elegance and grace of his de
livery, he makes his lecture one of the de
lights of a man's lifetime. The subject of
the lecture to-morrow evening is " Moscow, "
a subject which gathers around it many ob
jects of interest in history and travel; it is jj
siioken of by our exchanges as one of his
best. The lecture will be delivered in
Marble Hall, which will not hold more than
five hundred persons, so that those who want
teats must go at an early hour.
In order to accommodate several of the
churches, whose congregations hold their
prayer meetings on Wednesday evenings,
the lecture committee have postponed the
hour for the commencement of Mr. Taylor's
lecture to a quarter beore eight. This has
been done so that the lecture will not inter
fere with uny other service, as there is a
general desire to hear it, especially among
the ladies, with whom he. is a great favorite.
The doors will, however, be open at half
past sh; in order to give those who come
early an opportunity to get good seats.
Fire. About 3 oclock Sunday after
noon a fire broke out in the carpenter shop
of Mr. Sanders Sansom, on Seventh street,
and the whole building was quickly envel
oped in flames. The neighbors flocked to
the assistance of their friend, and worked
earnestly to save his dwelling, which was
in the most imminent danger. It caught
fire, but, through the united efforts of the
citizens with buckets, and the timely arri
val of the little engine " Sis," the flames
on the dwelling were extinguished before
the building was very badly damaged. The
shop, with its contents, is a total loss.
Mr. Sansom had takon, during the winter,
some large contracts a new engine honse
and school house among the number and
had a good portion of the work, such as
window and door frame3, &c, already com
pleted. He is out of pocket so rue- 1,500
which he has expended for labor alone. In
addition to this, there were some 10,000
fett of lumber destroyed, worth about $300;
seveu chests of tools, a lot of hay, corn, &c,
which, with the building, will make in the
aggregate from $2,000 to $2,500 worth of
property consumed, on which there was no
insurance'. Mr. Sansom is one of our most
energetic' and honorable builders, and this
loss, under the present circumstances, will
prove disastrous to him, unless be meets
with some assistance. We understand that
steps were to be taken to relieve him, which
we hope will prove successful, and that a
part, at least, of his heavy loss, will be re
paired. The steam engine was taken out in the
evening to complete the extinguishment of
the fire, it being feaied that some of the
houses miaht catch from the sparks. The
Unioa Fire Company, we should state, ar
rived at the fire in time to do some goe.1
work.
We have heard some pretty sharp com-
ments on the failure of the steam fire en
gine to apiear at the fire when she was
needed. Home said the horses were out on
pasture, and some that the engineer was out
i tif town. The engine was needed there if
I (,ver sh will be ; the ground was sufficiently
! ! i
fit in fur it to have run with ease ; there was
( jentv of water- and hose. What wan the
UK AUIXti
reason that the steamer did not go into ser
vice ? Those having charge of it will do
well to satisfy the public in this matter.
The Opposition Call.
A Call is published in to-day's Journal
for a convention of the Opposition of Van
derburgh county ts meet at the Court-house
on Tuesday evening, February 7th, " to
consider as' to the best course to be pur
sued in reference to the approaching State
and National elections."
This Call emanates from gentlemen com
prising among their number some of our
very best citizens the bone and sinew of
the county. They represent all the ele
ments of which the Opposition in this
county is composed old lino Whigs, Amer
icans, Republicans, popular sovereignty
Democrats, and men who have for year3
acted independently of all parties. ' The
Call is the spontaneous expression of men
representing all the shades of the Opposi
tion, inviting their fellow-citizens opposed
to the Federal Administration, to meet with
them, and assist in marking out a course of
policy to overthrow the corruptionist3 and
tyrants now in power in State and Nation.
It i3 unnecessary to say that we cordially
endorse this movement. We see in it most
wholesome results, and hail it as the initia
tory step in a movement which is destined
to revolutionize the politics of this portion
of Indiana.
We would warmly urge every voter who
approves of the objects set forth in the Call,
to be at the Court-house at the appointed
time, and to give his voice and countenance
to this movement. Let there be a "rous
ing" turn-out one that shall cause a shak
ing among the dry bones of Lecomptouism.
Plenty of other names jiiiglit have been
easily obtained, but the persons who circu
lated the Call deemed those now attached
amply sufficient to lend character to the
movement, and to give it a start. With
such an impetus, it is bound to go ahead.
JBSf On Friday last, John Shultzr, a lad
17 years of age, met with a fatal accident in
the coal mines. lie wa3 engaged in blast
ing coal, and after firing his fuse, it failing
to explode, he thought it had gone out. He
then run in a long iron called " a needle,"
w&en the train exploded, burning him in
the face and on the arms in a horrible man
net. He lingered in great agony until Sat
urday, when he expired. His funeral took
plaee-on Sunday, the miners attending in a
body.
J"An Irishman was taken out of the
river just below the old blue warehouse on
Sunday. The probability is that he was a
deck hand ou some steamboat, and falling
overboard, was drowned. An inquest was
held on Sunday. We did not hear the
verdict of the jury.
Dellniincut Tax Sale.
All.persons interested will liear in mind
that the sale of lots, &c., by the City Collec
tor, for delinquent city taxes, willfiommence
nt the Court House door, to-day, January
31st, at 9 o'clock A. m., to bo continued from
day to day, in pursuance of advertisement,
till all are sold.
A Card. The relatives and friends of tho
late Mrs. O. A. Kendall, return their sin
cere thanks to tho Rev. Mr. M. C. Hobbs, for
the very ablo and appropriate funeral ser
mon delivered at Ingle street church on
Sunday last. M.
Attention! Storm Fire Co., No. 4.
You are hereby notified to meet at the In
surance Office, No. 1, Marble Hall Building,
this (Tuesday) evening, Jan. 31st, at seven
o'clock. A full attendance is requested, as
business of the greatest inyiortanee is to be
transacted.
Messrs. F. Shakpe & Co., a young and en
terprising firm, have a fine assortment of
agricultural implements which they propose
selling on terms to please purchasers. They
invite an inspection of their stock at their
new house in Posey's Block.
8S We learn from the Enquirer that
there was a fire in Henderson ou Sunday
evening. An old butcher shop was burned.
Loss small.
There is perhafts no art in which so
many improvements are made as in the
Daguerreetype Art, and the tastes of the
people are to an extent keeping pace with
them hence ii is that so many would, be
artists are breaking down, while those who
possess real artistic merit re appreciated
and patronized more than -ever. A fuvr
years ago it was thought that the only
thing necessary to learn in order to be an
artist, was the mechanical part of the pro
cess, and that one who could perform that
part could take a picture as well asanotherj
but not so now. Whoever goes to City
Gallery, 45 Main Street, and sees with what
ease and grace Mr. Elliot sits his subjects,
can then judge of the difference between
pictures produced by a man who has arlixtic
talent and those made by a mere mechanic.
His Phofv graphs cannot be beaten, and he
sells them cheap, whole size for a dollar each
where a number are wanted. jan31-ld
Q?Meesrs. John and Daniel Stanton have

Southern Illinois Railway is to extend from
Vincennes to Mound City, a distance of 150

XXXVI CONGRESS FIRST SESSION,
Washington, Jan. 30, m. House. The
galleries were more densely crowded than at
any lormer period during the session. By 10
o'clock not a seat was to be had, and crowds
were wedged in all the doorways, while the
lobbies were alike uncomfortable, with per
son3 of both sexes. The seats especially set
apart for the diplomatic corps, with the ex
ception of the first tier, were occupied by
ladies. Members and others were gathered
in groups on the floor. The general scene
was characterized by unusual excitement
Many strangers have arrived since Saturday
to witness the proceedings consequent upon
the selection of Speaker.
The Rev. Mr. Kennard, in the course of
his prayer, invoked the Almighty to come
to the deliverance of tho country in its pre
sent excitement and danger, and to renew
the bond of confidence which formerly ex
isted as to our confederacy.
The Clerk stated the pending question to
be on the motion made by Mr. Winslow on
I riday, to proceed to a vote, viva voce.
Mr. Davidson asked leave to offer a reso
lution that the doorkeeper be directed to
exclude, all persons not entitled to the priv
ileges, under the rules of the House, except
employees actually engaged in the Hall,
Mr. Clemen3 gallantly asked Mr. Davidson
to except the ladies from the operation of the
resolution.
Mr. Smith of Va., also desired the ladies
now on the lloor to remain.
Mr. Stanton remarked that if they per
mitted them to remain, others would claim
the privilege.
Mr. V aliandingnam said it persons were
here contrary to the rules, they were liable
to expulsion by the doorkeeper ; but it was
too late to exclude the ladies, as they had
been invited here.
This debate was continued at some length
some in favor of the ladies remaining,
some for excluding them. Finally, the ladies
voluntarily withdrew, and the unprivileged
males wero ejected. Whereupon a call of
the House was made, and all the members
found present except Brown, of Kentucky,
C. U. Cochrane, and Stall worth.
An effort was made to pair tho absent
members, but in vain.
The House then decided to ballot for
Speaker.
Mr. Sherman, in a lengthy address, re
turned thanks to those who had supported
him, vindicated his party, and withdrew his
name aa a candidate for Speaker.
A ballot was then taken, with the follow
ing result :
Whole number of votes 231. Necessary
to a choice 118. Pennington received 115,
Smith, of N. C, 113; scattering, C.
Another ballot was then taken as fol
lows :
Whole number of votes, 232. Necessary
to a choice 1 1 7. Pennington, 115 ; Smith,
113; Davis, of Md., 2; Allen, 1 ; Bocock,
1. Pennington and Smith did not vote.
A motion to adjourn failed.
Another vote was taken as follows:
Necessary to a choice 117. Pennington,
115; Smith, 113; scattering, 3.
Riggs, of N. J., voted for Tenningtan.
Briggs, of N. Y., voted for Smith, according
to his party pledge, but said the time would
come when he could vote for Pennington.
Adjourned without another vote.
Senate. Nicholson made a Southern
speech, arguing for independence in Jcaso
all the warnings of the South were disre
garded. The Senate adjourned.
Washington, Jan. 29. u. There have
been many private conferences to-day among
members of the different parties, with a
view of perfecting arrangements for to-morrow
regarding the Speakership. The pros
pect is, that if the Republicans unite all the
Sherman vote on Mr. Pennington, he will
receive some accessions from the Anti-Lc-compton
Democrats, including Adrain, IIol
man, Davis, of Ind., and Allen, of Ohio.
The three dissenting Western Democrats
have not yielded to the persuasions of their
friends to vote for Smith, nor is it probable
they will.
According to what is considered reliable
information, on Friday, some gentlemen
have been making special investigations
into the political antecedents of Smith, with
the design of damaging his position as a
candidate for Speaker.
There is no data for an assertion as to the
result of the contest, further than that it
promises to be decided within the present
week, perhaps to-morrow.

Death ot Kev. llobert Parrett.
The Bask of the State op Indiana,
Branch at Evansville, Jan. 30, 1860,
At a meeting of the Board of Directors
held this day, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, Since the last meeting of this
Board, death has removed from us the Rev.
Robert Parrett, a member of this Board,
And Whereas, The death of our late col
league is esteemed as not alone the loss of
an able and useful business associate, but
comes home to us as the loss of a generous
mend, a good citizen, and true man, who
filled all the relations of lifo with faithful
ness, and adorned every position in which
he was placed : therefore,
Resolved, That this Board record this tes
timony of their appreciation of hi3 worth
while living, and ot his loss when dead
and desire to tender to his sorrowing family
the assurance of their earnest sympathy in
this, their great bereavement.
Resolved, That the President communi
cate to his family this expression of our re
spect and esteem for him who was so near
to them in life, and whose decease they now
deplore.
Resolved, That as a last tribute of respect
to the deceased, this Board will, as a body,
with the officers of the Bank, attend tho
funeral to-morrow.
Resolved,- That a copy of these proceed
ings be placed upon the minutes, and be
published in tho city papers.
A true copy from the minutes.

Hard Upon Douglas. The Atlanta (Ga.)
Southern Confederacy thus refers to Judge
Douglas :
We may have misconceived the true posi
tion, the object and aims of Senator Doug
las, but with our present understanding of
his heresies we would shun his touch as
that of a leper. We have repeatedly said,
and say again, that if he is the nominee of
the Charleston Convention, we canuotjsup
port him. Judge Douglas must recant, re
tract and repudiate his Territorial and popu
lar sovereignty dogmas before he can be re
ceived in full fellowship into the democratic
church. When he does that, and is willing
to be taken upon probation, and proves by
his acts that he is a democrat in fact and in
truth, we have no objection to his reception
again into the confidence ot tho party. But
withal, we shall always look upon him with
suspicion.
A Second Vice Presidint. The protrac
ted and unsuccessful effort of the House of
Representatives to organize, at a time, too,
when there is danger of one department of
tho Government absolutely coming to a dead
lock lor want ol the necessary appropria
tions to support it, has suggested the ques
tion to the mind of man', whether some
radical changa in the mode of appointing
the Speaker is not required. It has been
suggested, as a proper remedy for the grow
infr abuse of a failure to organize, that the
Constitution be so amended as to create the
office of a second Vice President, elective
by the people, and whose duty it shall be
to preside over the popular ' branch of Con
gress.
New York, Jan. 29. Among the passen

States and the Paraguay Navigation Com
pany, whose claim is to bo tried before a
commission to be organized within twelve
months alter the exchange of ratifications.
The plan of the Illinois Central Company

No one remedy is louder called for by the ucce- '

cure for Fever and Ague. Such a remedy we are j
now enabled to oner, with a perfect certainty that '
it will eradicate the disease, and wit Ii assurance,
founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its

That which protects from or prevents this disor

in the reach of everybody ; aud in billious districts '
where Fever aud Ague prevails, every body should
