reason, until qTJ

notice of tbe

dournal denied IbtT county bad acted uci'j or. to use Its o had not "swindled that, or any ether matter of bounties.” however, that the

regiment have been swindled by some one In this county, acting tn au official capacity, and representing olllclal authorities. If those soldiers have dieen cheated out of their just rights by either the city or county authorities, good faith demands that the contract with them should be Jultillcd. The Evansville Courier, professing to understand the merits of the case, charges, directly, that the soldiers of the Seventeenth Regiment were swindled by the authorities of this ciiy, and that upon a contract with Mayor Cavkh for |400 apiece bounty, they only received §< r >0. If such be the lact, and there are no extenuating circumstances, the professed friends of the soldiers should hang their heads with sbame for this attempt to cheat tbe “ boys in blue.” We reproduce what tho Evansville Courier says upon tbe subject. It first quotes the followextract from tho Journal and then comments

thereupon •

‘•As Mr. Voorhees may yet conclude to essay the fooli-h experiment of trying to fortify tho c opperhead libels against our county by bringing tho threatened suit, we will not enter upon a history of this Seven teeth Regiment claim,but content ourselves by flatly denying the charge that ‘‘the radical authorities of Marion county” have swindled the soldiers of that or any other regiment, in the matter of bounties. We say further that tbe authorities of Marion county made no contract with the members of tbedeventeuth Regiment, and consequently could not have vitiated an obligation they never assumed. Every dollar of bounty promised by our county commissioners to volunteers was paid, not in depredated county orders as in many Democratic counties, but In

cash.”

This is a most contemptible dodge and quibble. The contract was not made, strictly speakimr. by “tho authorities of Marlon county,” hut with Caven, the radical mayor of Indianapolis, for tbe benefit of the city of Indianapolis, and tho county of Marion. We have seen with our own eyes tho dispatch from Mator Caven to the revimont, offering them $400 a man tf they would re-enlist and credit ihemsdves to tho city of Indianapolis and Marlon county. The regiment accepted the proposition 'hus made them—re-enlisted and credited tin m'dves to Marion county — and received a portion of tbe amount tendered, to wit: $od each. The pa> ment of this first instalment whs an acknowledgment—a final ratification of the contract on the part of the authorities of the city and county. But tbe remaining $350 apiece have not been paid but are repudiated by tho radical authorities of this exceedingly loyal city and coHnty. These arc the facts of the ca-.e, into which the Journal for very good rc^ons declines to enter, and we d ire tho editors of that sheet to deny them. Wecan prove every word of our statement by the soldiers of Ibis gallant regiment, the most of whom are Republicans. They have time and again recited the facts to us. Just as we have related them, and they all tell the same story. More tlian this the original telegraphic dispatch from Mayor Caven is in their possession. The Journal need give itself no doubt about Mr. Voorhees’ action in this matter. One thing it can rely upon. The suit or suits will be brought and tbe disgraceful, swindling conductor its authorities fully ventilated. Depend

on this.

Pretty friends of the soldiers these fellows are, Indeed! The Journal knows that the soldiers of tbe Seventeenth Regiment were swindled by the radical authorities of tbe city of Indianapolis and Marlon county, but it takes their sides against the “ boys In blue.” and tries to sneak out of tbe charge brought against them by the contemptible quibble that tbe countv authorities did not make the contract with ibe regiment. They knew that tbe contract, though made by tbe radical mayor of Indianapolis, was made for the benefit of tbe people of tbe county, and that either tbe city or county authorities, or both, are liable for the amount promised in the contract. They knew that the people of the city and county received the benefit of the re-enlist-ment of the regiment, and were thus saved from a draft. They knew that Mayor Caven, their radical ma. or, contracted with the regiment to be credited to Marlon county for $400 apiece, and that they have only received |50. All these things, we repeat, the State organ of Indiana radicalism knew, and yet In the fare of these facts, that audacious sheet, par excellence the soldiers’ friend! has not a word of condemnation of the outrageous and disgraceful swindle perpetrated upon these gallant soldiers, but defends and excuses the' swindle! Commend us to such friendship—sued love as this!

The silence of tbe Hkrald on this matter bee been tbe subject of much comment among Democrat* and, at their request, we call tbe editor’s attention to

It.- Evcumillt Courier.

We give oar Evansville cotemperary the full benefit of all It calls upon the Hrrald to consider, and we have considered as rsqoest. ed. la tbe first place tbe failure to notice tbe recommendation of tbe nine gentlemen who conatltute the Democratic' Central Committee of tbe First Congressional District of Indiana, In regard to tbe place for holding the next National Democratic Convention, waa solely an Inadvertance, aad without any Intention of disregarding any suggestion which those highly respectable gentlemen may make upon that or any other subject. And If anything we can aay will have any influence In thematter, we trust that Mr. Harrington and the other members of the National Executive Committee will give due consideration to the suggestions of the “nine gentlemen” referred to. In regard to tbe place for holding tbe next Democratic National Convention we nave no especial choice, but we think It should be of easy access, at some railroad center, with ample accommodations for the large numbers that will probably attend it. No doubt Louis, vine will accommodate our Evansville friends and a large section of the country, snd It may be tbe most proper place. If the committee should so decide, after surveying the field, we ■hall not only be content, but will congratulate tbe “Dine gentlemen” upon their forethought and sagacity. But we ask our amiable and energetic cotemperary, who so faithfully represents the ‘mine gentlemen” If it would not have been just aa well to have called our attention to the alleged delinquency by a private letter, instead of making It the subject of a carping editorial ? And we, also, Inquire of our talented cotemporary. If he has not just about all he can well do to edit his very valuable sheet, without undertaking the management of the editorial columns of the Herald.

Resumption ef Specie Payments. The Cincinnati Gazette expresses tbs opinion that the country can not carry over two hundred millions of currency upon specie payment, and that U is probable that the currency would havo to be reduced below that point before specie payments could be established. And It thus comments upon the conditions that will be necessary before specie payments cm be successfully resumed and maintained: “The only way to specie payment Is by a reduction of tbe currency to about tbe amount that experience has shown can be kept afloat, and to create an Inflow of gold. The country never yet resumed speote payment without creating conditions that caused an Inflow of gold. This reduction of the currency will reduce prices in the same ratio that they were raised by the currency expansion, and this will in tbe same ratio raise tbe value of all indebteness, both public and private. This fall oi prices can not be without paralyzing trade and causing general distress. This grinding pressure, which will have to be continued for years, would cauie tbe export of everything that would realize money abroad. Inevitably It abroad all eur gold bearing the debt sbal< ail bo funded we shall havo < rested a demand ^BMiebundred and fifty or one hundred and sixty millions of gold a year to go abroad to pay interest. This would be on top of monetary conditions that, as we have shown, would cause a rapid export of gold to pay tbe balance of trade. Besides this we should have about 2,500 millions of gold bonds In Europe, bold over our money market, and ready to be thrown upon it, to realize in coin, In caee of any disturbance of money matters In Europe or America. We very well know tbat even tbe comparatively Insignificant amount of fifty millions of bonds thrown upon a mixed currency of speols sod specie paying notes, would throw tbe money market Into a panic and cause a suspension. Tbersfors ws have to say tbat the plan of Introducing specie payment, with but • reduction of one or two bundrod million greenbacks, as Mr. McCulloch thought he could do, and with over 2,000 millions of bonds (which ho proposes to mmo to par by this resumption) hanging over our money market, le ae wild ae any ebnuera that ever entered Into the Imagination of man. It to Impoeslble. Tbe attempt would only bring

ruin.”

on the 8th day of January, 1808.

The Democracy of Miami county extend a cordial invitation to every voter in Miami county, without regard to past political dllferences, and who believe that the United States of America should be governed by white men, and who don’t believe in negro voting anywhere in these States; and who don’t believe In the doctrine of “rags for the people,” and gold for tho bondholders; and all who do believe In the doctrine of paving off our Government debt with tbe same kind of money that the bondholders paid for those bonds; all who believe In the doctrine that money that is good enough to pay tbe mechanic, the farmer, the artizan and merchant, is good enough to pay the bondholder—are invited to meet with us In convention, on Saturday, the 14th day of December, at half-past one o’clock, p. m., at the court house.

„ H. Dutton, Chairman. Peru, Indiana, November 19,1&67. —A New York correspondent says tbat Chase has been in thst city deeply plotting with tbe bank and bondholding Interests, but he had a diseatlfied look. —It is stated that the Democrats of New York City propose to raise the sum of f2.50,000 to start a new daily paper, which is to advocate tbe claims of the Hon. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, for the presidency, Negro Rule.—Tbe Chicago Ttmee says: “Now let It be understood that either the white men or the negroes of the South have got to rule. If the people have declared anything In the election* of this fall, they have declared that the negroes shall not rule. Any scheme disfranchising so large a number of tbe whites as to give the political supremacy to the blacks will be condemed by tbe people. No christening which can be given to such a scheme will save It from tbe popular reprobation. Political cant is fast losing its power to deceive. If It be true that “a rose by any other name will smell m sweet,” It Is equally true that a skunk by any other name will atink as strong. The nostrils of tbe public will seent negro supremacy, under any sounding title which mey be devised for it.”

That tbe nation shall be relieved of tbe mighty burden of maintaining military despotisms in ten States of tbe Union, the enormous additional expenM of tbe disgraceftil farce, by which radicalism is endeavoring to find, in white dlsfrancbiMment and negro supremacy, a refuge from just retribution *ud

inevitable extinction.

That we demand the reetoration of the Union, which was preserved by the Union army and navy, but since destroyed by the machinations of ambitious partisans. Tbat we demand a true obedience to the Constitution, in all Its limitation of power;

and we oppose all usurpations of powers not granted—by Congress, or any other branch of tbe Government, as treasonable, and destructive to the whole fabric of law and order upon which the existence and glory of our country

depends.

That, now more than ever, In the view of the enormous debt—the leading object of a tariff, should be revenue—not special protection to classes, at the expense of the people. 2. Tbat we cherish the deepest gratitude to the brave soldiers and sailors, who not only won for our country immortal honor for military prowess, but proved their disinterested patriotism and love for the Union and tbe Constitution. They will never, knowin ;^-, countenance tbe subversion of political intrigue, of what they periled their lives to save. And we declare It to be the duty of statesmen and legislators to stop tbe waste and corruption which now puts two hundred millions of tbe people’s annust tribute Into the pockets of swindlers, and so laqi as it is to be raiMd from the people, to apply it to pension and

bounty purposes.

3. That conferring suffrage upon tbemasa of negroes, must result in the subversion of our system of government, and we oppose It. 4. Tbat the financial policy of the government should cause tbe burdens snd blessing*

thereof to rest equally upon all.

6. That, whereas, Northern Indiana is entitled to a representative on the State ticker, the Democracy of Noble country point with proud satisfaction to her silted son, S. E Alvord, E-q., as a man eminently gifted to fill any posttien within the girt of the people, and we therefore ask and ln»truct our delegates this day appointed to use ail honorable means to secure his nomination as tbe Democratic can-

didate tor Lieutenant Governor.

6. Tbat we heartily commend tbe Xational Banner, edited by 8. B. Stoll, as a true and able advocate ot correct principles, and agood family newspaper; and earnestly urge upon all Democrats and conservative citizens the Importance and duty of giving It the greatest possible circulation and pecuniary support; and tbat all Democrats should labor to extend the circulation of tbe Indiana Herald, published at Indianapolis, as tbe leading organ of our policy, and fully equal, in all the qualities of a first class political journal, to the beat in

tbe country.

committee was unani-

mously agreed to, and tbe above named gentlemen constitute tbe delegates and alternates to tbe Democratic State convention, to be held at Indianapolis on the 8th of January next. S. E. Alvord, Esq., was called upon to address the convention. Mr. Alvord responded tn an able and eloquent speech of an hoar and a half In length, In which he reviewed tbe course of tbe radical party during tbe last six year*. He sbowd that under radical misrule millions of dollars had been stolen by corrupt officials, and that although tha people ere heavily oppressed by taxation, a very small proportion of these moneys ever find their way Into tbe public treasuir. He dwelt at some length upon the radical reconstruction policy, and closed with a glowing eulogy on tbe grand achievements of the Democratic party, and expressed bis belief that tbat grand old party would yet succeed ia restoring every State of the Union to their proper relation wGh the General Government. At tbe conclusion of Mr. Alvord’s eloquent oration, J. B. Stoll waa called upon to address the meeting. Mr. Stoll briefly referred to the position respectively occupied by tbe two contending parties, clearly demonatrating that whilst tbe radical party attempted to subvert tbe Institutions of our country by acknowledged unconstitutional legialation, the Democratic party had but one object la view—tbe restoration of the Union. He predicted a glorious Democratic victory in the next presides-. tial election, end urged upon the Democracy of Noble county to immediately effect a thorough organization in every township—to place Democratic papers and documents Into the hands of all who felt disposed to seek the truth aad the path to peace aad prosperity. If this ws* done everywhere no earthly power could stay the onward march of Democracy, upon tbe success of whose principles <*— tbe existence of the American Repul On motion, the convention adjourned.

Justice may be cheated for a time, but she generally makes it convenient to hold her own. AN Exemplary Thief.—A Crawfordsville correspondent of the Lafayette Courier thus speaks of Samuel M. Donley, a young man who about three years since stole $13,000 from James S. Breckenridge, a Clinton county stock dealer: Will you permit the testimony of one who has known the young man that appropriated Brekenridge’e money, moat intimately for the past two yean? I but speak the sentiments of the town people, the full body of students and the entire faculty of W abash College, when I say that a more exemplary person as to morffia and conduct, so far m their knowledge of him is extended. had never before been within the walls of the institution. I have no doubt there are many who will ascribe tbe goodness with which he has conducted himself since tbe commission of tbe set to a cold, calculating and deep-wrought policy of concealment—with no higher motive than that of personal safety, controlling his actions. This, I am confident, is not the com. On more than one occMion, when neither the study of books nor of nature kept me awake, I have seen him burning the midnight oil, while pouring over the pages containing his next day’s lessons; and the records of the college classes prove that he spent all hie time to a better purpose than most of his companions. Was he a hypocrite? Let the following fact Mt tbat charge at rest: Last winter, when the reviving influences of religion shook very nearly the last vestige of sin from the hearts of Wabash students, when, I believe, every one of his classmates bad connected themselves with one or another of the churches, they earnestly requested him to do the same. Why shouldn’t he! He lived an exemplary life, never caroused or used profane language; was high-minded and honorable in all nts dealings; was an earnest student, and beloved by all of bis companions? To these Importunities—sometimes with tears in his eyes—he told them he could not do it; thst there was something pressing on his heart snd mind, which, until removed, would forever prevent him taking so solemn s step. Would not s thief snd a hypocrite at heart have eagerly seized this other opportunity of appearing still more upright before hts fellow men? A miecegewasiBg Elopement. Charleston South Carolina, is much excited over an elopement case, the guilty parties being the wife of a white grocer and a black man in the neighborhood, who kept a small wheelwright shop, and went by the name of Sergeant Major Overton. The latter Is said to have been a member ot tbe Thirty-first Reg - ment of colored troops. On being mustered out of service, he Mt up as a wheelwright in a small shed in Cbsrieston,for some time pMt.it Is reported, bM been taking his meals in the same house with the grocer and his wife. From report it appears that the parties had become very familiar. Several love letters which had passed between them bave been discovered since their departure. The correspondence shows tbat be has been urging his inamorato for some time pMt to fly away with him, promising that she should never want for anything that could contribute to her present or future happiness. A few days since the grocer went to Summerville for the purpoM of collecting some rest due him, leaving, m usual, an old colored woman, employed m cook, to keep company with his wife. The latter, however, told the cook that she would not be wanted tbat night, and might go home. During tbe night the wife appears to have packed up every portable article of value about the houM, and with her black lover left the city on the four o’clock train. The parties carried with them $800 in specie, $300 In greenbacks, s gold watch valued at $200, some other articles of jewelry and tbe clothing of the deserted husband. On the grocer’s return from Summerville, about eight o’clock the next day, m soon as informed of what had occurred, telegraphed to various quarters, including Augusta, Columbia, and Wilmington. The parties were arrested at Wilmington tbe next night.
