The'Eyansville Journal gujreests
among other names for the office of
Lieutenant Governor, that of Conrad
Baker, Esq., of Evansville. Mr. Baker
would undoubtedly fill the place with
honor to himself and State, but we are
opposed at present to Mr. Baker, for tbe
office of Lieutenant Governor, and in-
favor of him for Judge of the Supreme
Court. His legal attainments, sound
judgment and incorruptible integrity
fit him particularly for the position, and
our people 7ilHnsist upon hisbeing nom
inated for that above all others. We
could, and would cheerfully support him
for any office he might be nominated for
on the State ticket, but hope he will be
selected for the one above named. To
eav that he would be an improvement on
the present incumbent from this District
(Supreme) would be a very poor compli
ment, for any change would be an im
provement on the present Supreme Court,
but with a court composed of such men
as Mr. Baker, the Supreme Court of In
diana would again take the proud posi
tion it occupied in the days of Blackford,
Dewey and Sullivan. In connection with
the Supreme Court we have also heard
Wo. H. H. Terrell mentioned as the
probable nominee of the Union Conven
tion for the office of Clerk, and altl ouh
we had previously mentioned his name
in connection with the office of Secre
tary of State, we believe he would come
nearer tilling tlie hill for Cleric ot tue
Supreme Court than any man in the
Stats. His education atid long service
in a Clerk's office, qualify him for the
place. The present incumbent Mr. Jones
declines a re-election and we know of no
better man for the successorship ;than
Buck Terrell. Vincennes Gazette.
Col. Baker is one cf those peculiar
men who fill with dignity, urbanity and
efficiency, any position to which the par
tiality of their friends may assign them.
We are confident that his acceptance of
any place on the State ticket, will be at
a pecuniary sacrifice of his private inter
ests; but we are equally certain the First
Congressional District will regard the
Union ticket as very incomplete without
his name on it for some one of the more
important offices.
. The Supreme Court of Indiana has
been the laughing stock of the more emi
nent lawyers for several years past. In
tellectually, it is the weakest Bench found
in any loyal State. It is composed of the
very smallest specimens of pot-house,
cross-roads politicians
nni T ,
ine juages ot
which it is made up were elected, not be
cause they were men of superior legal
ability and integrity, but because they
were partisans of so low a grade that
they would not hesitate to prostitute their
official positions to aid in sustaining and
building up their party. The opinion
entertained of them by those who elect
ed them, in this respect, was well
founded. They hava failed their party
in no instance. No matter what the
character of the decision required, or
how repugnant it might be to truth, fair
dealing or justice, it was always ready
when called for. Not content with de.
ciding questions in favor of their party,
accidently brought before them, some of
ihe members of the Bench actually al
tend democratic caucuses, and have lh
policy of partisan conventions predicated
upon decisions they v. ould render to sus
tain their action. The Vigo county Au
ditor controversy, is a caae of this
kind in point
The salaries allowed Supreme Judges
are small too small. Yet, some of the
present incumbents have amassed for :
tunes. They began their career poor, they
will lay aside the ermine all soiled and
filthy, rich. That this wealth could
1 be accumulated out of the small salaries !
allowed, is a marvel to all who have giv
a I
: en the matter a thought, and are chart, j
. table enough to exonerate them from i
; suspicions cf having accepted bribes.
Our Supreme Court needs re-organiza-j
tiou and elevation. It must be lifted
from the mire of politics and placed upon
the rock of justice. Its reputation for
impartiality and integrity must be such
that the poorest in the State will
have no hesitation in taking their cause
I before it, and appealing to it for protec
: tion against the injustice and rapacity of
i the rich. As the Court is now constitu
ted, that poor man is a fool who would
appeal a case from the verdict of 12
jurors, however palpably wrong it might
appear, if his opponent should, per
chance, be a man of wealth. Wealthy
corporations, apparently, have it all their
own way with the present Judges, and
none possessing less wealth dare put
their transactions to a judicial test
If the Union party can nominate and
elect (they will elect if they make ju
dicious nominations) a Supreme Court
composed of such men as Col. Conrad
Baker, a new judicial era will dawn up
on our State. The Court will " assume
the position," as the Gazette remarks,
" it did in the days of Blackford, Dewey,
and Sullivan." It will be the dwelling
place of Justice, a munition of rocks to
the oppressed.
If Judge Baker places himself at the
disposal of his fritnds in the convention,
he will meet with an enthusiastic sup
port, either for the position of Lieut.
Governor or Supreme Judge.
The Twenty-Fourth Indiana.
We have received a couple of let
ters from this gallant regiment which
charge the Journal with neglect. Of
course, we plead not guilty. we
greedily lay hold of every item we
see afloat, relative to the loca
tion and doings of our boys, and if we
do not publish as much concerning them
as is their due, it is because they neglect
to furnish us with information.
From the letters mentioned, we learn
that the 24th, in company with the 11th
and 46th Indiana, is located at New Ibe
ria, La. The regiments, it 13 supposed,
will spend the winter there. The boys
are reported to be in excellent health
and exuberant spirits. They had just
received the news of Gen. Grant's victo
ry at Chattanooga, for which they gave
their old and popular commander three
rousing cheers and a tiger.
The 24th is still under the command
of CoL W. F. Spicely, an experienced
and gallant officer.
We would publish the letters received,
but one of them contains severe reflec
tions upon another regiment from this
State. We are satisfied the writer, upon
reflection, will thank us for not publish
ing his letter in full. The reputation of
the 24th has been achieved on many
bloody fields and wearisome marches,
but that reputation will not be enhanced
by sneering at, or underrating the pluck
of others. "Company F," we are sure,
with its record at Champion Hill, is in no
dauger of being eclipsed or forgotten.
No, no, boys, rival each other in seeing
who can inflict the most damage upon
the enemies of your country.
Tbe Origin and End of Christmas
We clip the following history of the
institution of the Christmas festival from
the Missouri Democrat:
The institution of the Christmas festi"
val is attributed to Pope Telesphorusi
who died A. D. 108, and throughout the
subsequent history of the Church it has
been one of the most noted of Christian
solemnities. At first it was celebrated
by the Eastern churches in the months of
April and May; but in the fourth cen
tury an investigation was made by the
theologians, by order of Pope Julius I,
and the 25th of December agreed upon
as the nativity of Christ In the middle
ages, Christmas was celebrated by gro
tesque spectacles, masquerades and dra
matic mysteries aad moralities. Among
the revels were the so-called feasts of
fools and of asses, sometimes termed
" December Liberties," in which every
thing serious was burlesqued, infe
riors personified their superiors, and
great men became frolicsome and fa
miliar. The family festivals of the
"Christmas Tree," now very common
in this country, originated in Germany,
and is there called the "Children's Fes
tival." A large erergreen bough is
erected in the parlor, lighted with wax
taper, and hung with numerous gifts,
each marked with the name of the per
son for whom it is intended. The distri
bution of these gifts to the assembled
juveniles creates intense excitement
amongst them, and unbounded joy.
Christmas has always been at once a re
ligious, domestic and merry-making fes
tival in England, for every rank and
every age. The revels used to begin on
Christmas eve, and continue often until
Candlemas, (February 2,) every day be
ing a hohdaytill twelfth .Nightman, b.)
In the houses of the nobles a "lord of mis
rule," or "abbot of unreason" was ap
pointed, whose office was "to make the
rarest pastimes, to delight tbe beholder,"
and whose dominion lasted from All
hallow eve (October 31) till Christmas
day. The common custom of decking
the houses and churches at Christmas
with evergreens is derived from ancient
Druid practices. Ii was an old belief
that syvan spirits might flock to the ev
erereens. and remain unninned bv frost
m i . ' ' . -
, till a milder season
The hull V iTV TO-
r
senarv, bavs, laurel and mistletoe furn
ished the favorite trimmings, which were
not removed till Candlemas. In the
L nited States Christmas is celebrated in
'all sorts of ways." In New England,
where the old Puritans rebuked all kinds
of pastimes, Christmas is not so gener
ally celebrated as in the other States.
In the V,rest, it is a great day for balls,
weddings, hoe-downs, sleigh-rides, and
other jollifications; and there is one
practice (more honored in the breach
than the observance,") which might well
be dispensed with; and that is getting
"gloriously corned" in honor of the day.

Editors Journal:
A3 many inquiries are made as to
: whether men who volunteered from this
county last summer and fall are credited
I to the different townships, the following
statement, furnished by CoL Conrad
Bakf.i:, A. A. P. M. G., is published for
the information of all concerned:
On the 12th day of Sept. 1863, there
i was a settlement with the Adjutant Gen-
eral of the State, in which all men furn
i ished by this State up to that date, were
credited according to the data given by
the muster-in rolls, which only showed
from which Congressional District the
men came. When the apportionment
published by the Governor was made up,
on the 23d day of October, 18i3, seven
hundred and eighty-seven roiruits, ob
tained in the entire State,
l..,...-o ' to
aau
12th day of September and the 23d of
October, 1863, were also credited and
the residue of the quota of this State, ap
portioned. It will, therefore, do no good to seek j
information as to credits prior to October
23d, 183, but it is important to see that
all recruits since that time are properly
given. vi nr. hynkf.

Rditors Journal :
In the Journal of the 22d inst. I no
tice an article giving an account of the
shooting of Mr. John Stockton, the bar
keeper of the Armada, by Private Ro
sins, of the 35th Kentucky Volunteers,
at this post. In the article referred to,
you say that "you are told that the mili
tary authorities refused to arrest the sol
dier who did the shooting."
Permit me to say that your informa
tion is not correct I was informed of
the shooting very Boon after it took
place, procured a physician for the
wounded man myself, and ordered the
immediate arrest of the offender. Capt.
Baker, to whose company the soldier be
longs, mounted his horse and pursued
Rosins (who had fled) some four miles,
but failed to overtake him ; since which
time we have heard nothing of hitn.
Should we succeed in arresting him, I
shall turn him over to the civil authori
ties, as provided by the Regulations.
I should not have asked the favor of
occupying your columns for this expla
nation, but that ray friends in your city
know I am in command here; and the
article, inadvertently I am persuaded,
does me great injustice.
Very respectfully,
