The bondholders want gold —

greenuacKs aro not good enough for that class of bondhuldtrs rcpreiented by the Lafayette

tier money of tho country. Now, if Edgerten, a bondholder, Is willing to take greenbacks for the bonds he bolds, he deserves credit therefor, and isjust the man the people of Indiana ought to elect for Lieutenant

Governor.—forf Wayne Democrat.

We understand that Mr. Edgerton ls*s largo bondholder. Now we ask him, respectfully, through tho/Jemocraf, or any other public source, to state if he would be willing to have the Interest on his bonds slopped, and the principal paid him In non-interest paying greenbacks, the payment to be made out of the 91.700,000,000 new Issue proposed by hts

„ . , . . . . , .party? In other words, is Mr, Edgerton wlllthe course of tho speech referred to by him | jn ^ t() Ht y cents In greenbacks Governor Morton said: i for one dollar’s preseut worth of greenbacks ••Hern Mr. Lincoln, just before his death, | bearing six per cent.

1 more of his lionds for the good of hu conntry. Tiiis would lie patriotic; but does Mr. Edgerton think it would bo very honorable in the Government who borrowed his money to

compel him to make such sacrifice?

We venture tn predict that the Democratic candidate for Lteulenat Governor, the mo. ment be sees bis policy about to prevail,

He says It was submitted to every member If his Cabinet—and who were the members If his Cabinet at this time? Chief Justice Chai|<, F. iwln M. Stanton and William II. Seward wore among them, and surely the Indorsement, of such men as these must give add Hint),

at weight to any measure.”

Mr. Johnson has honestly and faithfully ( ltempted to administer that policy, which h d (lueatbed by that mao around whose grafe vholo world has gathered as mourners.” j And Governor Morton went a little further. He Indorsed the policy of Mr. JohmnON most fully. Following the paragraph we have just quoted, we lind the following strong

words from him:

“I refer to these facts for tho purpose [if showing that Mr. Johnson’s policy Is not| a new one. hut. that he is simply carrying out the policy left hint by his lamented i>rederessor—a policy that hail been tnjursed by the n'hole.nation in the re-election of Mr. Linodn, and nad been promulgated to tbe whole world nearly one year before tbe time of iis

lust election.”

Does not this look like a complete Indurtement of tho President's policy? And tberals not a doubt but that policy would have Ixrn vilhered to. if It would have radicalized fie .Southern States, if it had reconstructed thim Into the Republican parly. Governor MortUn says that policy was Indorsed by the whole nation In tho re-election of Mr. Lincoln. Why was it not adhered to? Tho Southern States promptly reorganized under that policy and placed every guarantee in their new constitution* whjch was demanded of them, among which were tho abolition of negro slavery and the repudiation of tbe rebel debt. Did not justice demand that the nation should keep its faith toward those who had accepted the terms of amnesty and reconstruction Imposed upon

fall upon other and aofter beads. This whole miserable greenback scheme Is gotten up to catch votes, and no man of Hendricks’ or Kdgertoi.’s sense intends, if It should ever he reduced to practice, to be caught with bonds, or even the present issue of greenbacks and national bank notes In thdr bands.—/.afap-

ette Journal.

It seems the Lafayette Journal and many other Republican papers In the State Insist upon making me a “largo bondholder.” Their purpose Is to show that a Hated State* bondholder ought not to bo a candidate of the Democratic party; or, if he perslste In being a candidate, it must be at tho sacrifice of his personal intorests. Taking the position assigned me, of a bondholder, and being a candidate of the Democratic party and standing on its platform of January 8, 1808, 1 will treat the questions presented from a Democratic bondholder’s and candidate’s stand point. It may be stated that a Democrat not connected with the government for tho past seven years’ and not Interested In any “rings” in Congress or any contracts out of It, might legitimately have had some property, and some money to invest in “paying securities;” and. It may be assumed, that he applied to his Investments the average inte^lgcnce cf men who had accumulated property by years of labor, and not suddenly, by government contracts. Finding himself in possession of money ho desired to Invest at paying rates of Interest, he goes Into market to seek satisfactory securities. He finds his government In the market as a borrower. He may have bad bis own Ideas aa to the necessities of the government, and as to whether they were not occasioned jby reckleas expenditures, and frauds and peculations; and as to wbctherlt was neccessary or politic to create a funded

them? But the will of the nation as expressed i dcbl all—especially a funded debt in the re-election of Mr. I,INCOLN was defeated I* 10 bo sustained and paid by the by a partizan Congress and for party aggran- I lni !s lri » l pursuits of the country

disement. If tho States had been restored under the President's policy they may not have identified themselves with the ruling faction, but the exhibition of generosity, of liberality and the fulfillment of plighted faith, might have accomplished through a !t»n«n of gratitudo what faithlessness and military desj otlsm have failed to do. It can not but be patent to every thinking man that what Is known as the congressional policy of reconstruction has been based throughout upon partisan hate, and the single

.purpose of making the ten excluded Stiles

tails to tho Republican kite—to lore* them j by the exercise of arbitrary power. Into tha radical ranks, and make thorn subservient to tbe ends of tbo radical leaders, regardless of its

It dug powerless to effect any change In the policy of theUovcrnmcnt, or tn.tho existing state ot things, he “accepts tbe situation,” and In 1801, Inveats $100,1)00 In gold in Government securities, which be obtained at prices varying from I02>£ to 2o0*i far bis gold, the average being 198; that is, bo obtained $198,000 in Government securities for his $100,000 tn gold—the bonds bearing six per cent. Interest, payable tn gold semi-annually, aud exempt from all taxes. He could have sold, if be had managed a little closer, bis gold on the 7th of July for 273 —on tbo 11th for 232— which would have paid still better. Such an Investment, for the purpose of income, was decide diy^advantageous as long as tho GiB’crnment could afford to pay tho interest. But,

It was uuderstood it the time these loans were put upon the market, that some change would be made in their character after a designated time. Doubtless there were false representations made to some, in the sales of these securities, by those ready to profit by wrong doing; and, It is possible, that Government agents went outside of their authority and deceived some purchasers. But the great body ot purchasers were not deceived, for It was patent that Congress could change the loan. In what manner, and to what extent the change would be made, it was left to the fu-

whatever Congress might do, abundant opportunity would bo afforded to make the change without loss.

We have seldom seen a stage figure »o perfectly beautiful in luxuriant life.”

of the Secretary, why apply to him, subsequently, for bis opinion r In tbo absence of any positive law, he referred to tho practice n( the Government, and gave an opinion upon which has been culled tbe gold paying argument. The practice of the Government was not Its Kw, nor could it become a precedent to be followed where millions,not borrowed— never received from tho Government—were to be taken from au overtaxed people, it was a national wrong, tn a case of doubt, to give a construction to a law or to assume a condition of things against the tax payers and In favor of the bondholders. If there were doubts, w hy make them dollars to be taken trom the people to go into tho pockets of those from w hose pockets the dollars never came? That the people have made an Issue upon this queslion, and aro construing all the doubts In their favor, ts every day demonstrated. The Secretary of tho Treasury, in hls last report, says, “some live hundred and fifteen millions of live-twenty bonds are now redeemable according to their tenor.” The Democratic party of Indiana propose to redeem them according to their tenor. It proposes to give mo for uiy $100,000 In gold, loaned In 1804. $198,000 in legal tender notes, which I can to-day convert into $140,480 in gold; or If I prefer to hold the legal tenders, I can use them In all tbe business relations of Ilf*, la addition to the $140,480 In gold,

which could he obtained fur my |100;000 ] loaned, I bsve received tbs Interest semlm- ! Dually, in gold, and bave been exempt from all taxes upon my bonds. Now the question is asked me, am I willing to receive tne $198,000 In legal tender notes? f answer, T am. Is there any reason why I sbould be paid $108,000 in gold? What taxpayer Is willing to be taxed to pay me this sum in gold? Hut It may be asked, Wby pay me anything at this time? Why change my relation to tbe Government aa one of Ita bondholders? If my Interest only were to be consulted, no payment would be necessary, for I must be very unreasonable not to be satisfied with the semi-annual Interest in gold on my $103,000, and the entire exemption of that sum from taxation,with tbe asaurance that tbia condition of things is to continue for twenty years, at least, and my bonds to be all the time equivalent to gold. But there are other interests In tbe nation to be watched over and protected, and tho tax-payers, who have the debt to pay. propose to consult their Interests and pay it now, as they have the right to do; and hence they say to me, Y'ou can accept payment or not; wo do not propose to pay you Interest any longer, nor do we propose to pay you $198,000 In gold. I propose to accept the greenbacks. The Secretary of the Treasury asks, “How would the Government of tho United Statci stand before the world—how would It stand In tho estimation of Its own people—If It should decline to pay, according to agreement, the money it borrowed when IU very existence was In peril, and without which it could not have prosecuted the war, on the ground that the lenders took advantage of Its necessities and purchased Its securities at less than tholr value?” . _ It will not be denied that during all the war there was a combination of moneyed men—money lenders—peralatent tn their efforts to depreciate tbe Government eecuritiea for tho purpose of purchasing at less than their value, and yet our Government, unlike any other on earth, in a time of war, permitted these combinations to exist and Its securities to bo depreciated, and dare not exercise the high prerogative of a government to take the money ot Ibeoe loyal cltlzena wUen It was dally, by force, taking the lives of thousands. In nothing dad jthe Lincoln administration exhibit Its weakness moro than in this. Now, these loyal, gold exacting money lenders propose to take the property left by those whose lives were sacrificed for their country. To tbe lender of money to tho Government when Its existence was in peril, no one hat over proposed to doless than to return to him the “money borrowed," and ita Interest, according to agreement. To him who “took advantage of the nteestiUtt of hit Government and purchased Us securities at test than their value,” we propose to do tbe same thing; pay according to tbe law. Now as every man wants hie inveatmenta to be sure, undisturbed and paying, would It not be wisdom is tbo holder of !i-20’i > matured and maturing, to accept payment while he can make money by so doing, as I have demonstrated, instead of endeavoring to force tbe the people to acquiesce lu an unjust and Illegal demand ? Having answered the question asked by the Journal, from tho position of a bondholder, which It bad assigned me, 1 will add a few words more; Tbo class of money lenders, to which the Secretary of the Treasury refers, who take advaotagno! the necessities ol their government, and “ purchase Its securities at lesa than their value,” arc, of all others, the most clamorous for gold, and the loudeat In their protestation of loyalty and of their •acrlflces for tbe Government. Government is supported hy taxes. Tbo blood and the money of the people sustain It. 1’ay those men In gold, as they demand, and where Is their sacrifice for their Government? Who sold Government securities at less than their value, and why were they so sold? Did honest, loyal money lenders and tax payers demand tbe aacrifice? Was it not rather that class of men who created governmental necessities, for tbe purpose of dishonestly supplying 41 and taking advantage of them,' 1 who opposed a just system of taxation, because It would bave brought to the knowledge of the people the extent of their robberies; and who, by all the appliances of money to corrupt legislation, secured the funding of non-interest paying legal tender* into a Government security which exempted the bolder from taxation; Which security, when offered In tho market, they Immediately sought to depreciate, until tn possession, “ at less than its value;” and new seek to appreciate hy forced construction of the law and by the oontinuatlon of an unjust and unequal system of taxation? The charges of bad faith against the advocates of tbe early redemption ot tbe matured and maturing 5-90's, according to law, come from this class of bondholders. They will raise this or any other cry which they think will enable them to hold their wealth exempt from ail taxation. They want tbe Industrial and producing classes of the country to make tbclr bojds worth dollar for dollar in gold. They demand that all laws shall be such as their interests dictate. Ills this class of mcr, blind to their own interest", really, as well as hostile to the interest of tbe tax payer, and every man engaged in active buslncse, which seems anxious to create.a moneyed aristocracv to own a mortgage on tho nation; to be paid, principal and interest, by the producing masses; a thing which can not exist in a free government without destroying its character. It Is easy to foresee what, In this country, where but a small fraction of the people are bondholders, must be tbo consequence of such efforts. Bondholders should not deceive themselves os to what the people ask. Now they ask that tbe mortgage uiion their property and their laber shall be paid, when due, as provided in the bond, and this Just demand Is met with denunciation and misrepresentation. But bondboldrs will learn that tbe people know what they ask ; that no sophistry can longer deceive them; that no party lines or platforms can hind an overtaxed people Jn their support, especially when Injustice, In some form, has surcharged almost every aet'ffT legislation of the party In power.

I'ovrearomiencc Indianapolis Daily Herald. Cincinnati, January 27. Tho power of Ink and typo la well demon■trsted In this city, as we have three Republican dallies aud one Demojratlo, with weeklies and monthlies almost sufficient to stock a

State.

Tbe Commercial has the credit of possessing the greatest enterprise—and of being the most Independent and readable paper, while the Gazette has about it the dignity and stiffness of Us ultra radical proclivities, but, wliball, often leads off', both in the amount as well as freshness of Its intelligence. The Times, as an evening paper, pushes up Us pretensions with a vim and life power Indicating no small amount of energy and enterprise. It Is decidedly radical, however, yet rather weak in tho tone and spirit of Its political leaders. Tbe Enquirer is the only Democratic dally In the city and Is rapidly gaining in public favor. Rumor says we are soon to have an addition to our dally family newspapers, one Republican, tbe other Democratic. Though 1 can not vouch lor the latter clause of the rumor, yet It has been talked of and may probably be realized. Another Republican journal In this city, It seems 4o me, would be giving the people too much of a good thing, and then the territory Is certainly already occupied by papers which are all well established. To start a new paper here now of either party will require a big sum of monoy and a vast amount ofitalent,energy and financial skill, if it is made a success. But adventurers make fortunes—sometimes—and let those try It who may. For a year or more the trade of the city has been largely cramped, and much of It hae been “over tbo left,” and but few of the business houses have tbo satisfaction to know that they h»ve made money. It is noticeable In the list published that only five houses run up to one million m tbe sales of the last eight months. John Shlllcto’s bouse is tbe only one which rues over two millions. Under the pressure of the present times tbe rents of the city are much higher than the people can stand. They must come down, or thousands will leave the city, or be compelled to seek some ebstper habitations. The greed of landlordi •mount* to exorbltsney, and If ther* Is not

soon some let down Iff It, there will be ^n anti high rent rebellion, which will wake kip the natives. The oppression cl the money %d men of the country will arrsy the o«c class rB»'nst the other. Whenever this comes to ps w, the poor being the majority, must and will'' pre-

vail.

Indeed here, and In most of our ci'.1e* of late years, since we have built suuii tin* churches, the poor seem to be too generally Ignored in tbcfr rights, associations and recognitions. Wo have a respectable amount of church piety, but not enough of that universal charity—that pity for the poor—that democratic humanity, which Is the essential genius of Christianity, and which should bo the open, visible spirit of all our churches. Many of the pastors are anxious for a groat revival, and this anxiety has hoen manifested In the numerous prayer and inquiring meetings which they have held. I do not doubt their honesty or sincerity, but their plans and systems of operation aro too narrow, sectarian and partial—consequently fall to reach only the favored and select few. What the public wants Isa In-ouci Church — an intelligent, liberal, tolerattve Christianity which will convert men Into one genuine brotherhood of love, ol peace and honor and chanty. Such a revival as this would probably break down the walls of church distinctions and deprive some of tholr sectarian dominion; but It would ffll the land with a glorious harmony, with fraternal unity, and give to all honest hearts that missionary sympathy which would bunt up every poor wandering pensioner of Jehovah’s bounty, no matter where found or how fallen. In this city wo bave not less thankee hundred houses of 111 fame, in which may be found many who are there because at the proper time no one cared for theip. They were poor, and, perhaps, as beautiful as poor. They must live, and the foul tempter came and offered them j gold for crime and they stepped out to be forever fallen. I say forever fallen because the eburrh chiclly trios to save. In | these days, tbe respectable, the wealthy, tbe ! influential. Foor fallen devils, male imu female, must save themselves or perish. These are tacts which no Intelligent or honest man 1 can gainsay or deny. The skating rinks, tho theaters and iilnc os : of our city attract the multitudes and bll up the mea-urc of their hopes and enjoyment', it seem', far better than the churches, tbe lyccums or the lecture rooms. They no doubt loel that life is short and they wish to enjoy it white U lasts. Then mou are social beings and they uaturally go where there is fcjlow- , ship and pleasure, whetjer it makes them I better or worse. The staid stiffness of mere 1 church worshippers di'gusts them and they , turn away to more congenial associations • and enjoyments. / 1 But as politics, with a great mzr.y, has been the moat oommon a* well aa tbe moat fashionable religion for aeveral years, l may, perhaps, be more Interesting If I close thisle.ier with | a few words upon nat subject. That most of our cltizeus tblnk much sbout politics will readily bo admitted, ard therefore It is not at ail *t r apge that many are becoming disatisfled with the radical policy of Republican legislation. Instead of laboring to unite the lilaUa and restore tbe ancient I feeling which so long prevailed between the North and the South, (hay are trying to reconstruct the Southern States on a system of negro exultation and equality, which insults all of the old prijn iicea of the North, and tramples Into the dust of contempt, the dignity and b->»t hopes of thejwbtlei of the South. Then they see that their legislators Instead of giving thcm-elves to the work of relieving the putdlc by proper hnanolal legislation, aro dally exhibiting their bitter vlndlctlvenes—by robbing tbe Fresldcntof bis power-lotteriog the Supreme Court and Instituting a military despotism over thcHouth. Such legislation tbeoountry has never seen before and many who voted for them moatraincerely aunlybope they will neveiwee again. They ace that it demoralize! the country and destroy a the confidence of the peeple both in the stability and purity of our public tnsittUtions. ' But one thing Is sure the masses of the i American people are waking up to a full knowledge of the wicked ambition of these men, and they will move upon their works with the Indignation which their course excites. It It too late for them now to either retract or repent, and as there is no disposition manifested forjhe one or the other, certain defeat awaits them at tbe coming eleci tions. Jefferson.

ters In Congress of former times. • That good gra? hea l which all men knew” and wnich reminds those who have seen the Roman’s porirait of the head of Gciar, towered so grandly, ami the tones In which Mr, Johnson’s convictions were made Known were so-tree from passion, yet so full of noble fervor, that notwithstanding hiselucutlonaray infelicities, he constrained the attention of Senators iTnd tbe audtruce in the galleries until tbe close. The baldrrdasb ju»t previously mouthed by Senator Wilson bad bcon forgotten by everbody before Mr. Johnson had spoken fifty words, but when the latter concluded not even Senator Morton’s studied effort was recofccted very distinctly in any way, except that it had been courteously and serenely dpmollsbed. Hard Slis-iects —Theodore Tilton, editor of that religlousjuurnal, the New York Independent. who spent two days in Washington recently, and told publicly what he saw,

says;

“Occaalmally a presidential cindidatc Is seen fuddled in tbe streets; but. as this happens only on a Sunday, it can not bo said to interfere with public business, and does not strikingly challenge public attention.” And, in view cf the possibilities cf the future, adds: “One glass of wine poured down tho throat of the next President of the United States, and making a hell In hls blood, may glvo this whole nation the delirium tremens.” He, therefore, suggests “a prohibitory law, to take effect in nominating conventions, and a temperance pledge to bo signed by their nominees.” We suspect all that will have about as much effect on tho Chicago Convention and Its nominees, as quoting Latin to one of tbe Congo conventions at tbe South would have In Influencing its deliberations.

•—In Congress, on the 22 1 instant; T'bad. Stevens stated that members of that sweet scented rump have actually procured “shaving soap enough to last them for years,” under the name of “itntlqnery." What better could be expected of men who have been shaving the people for the last seven years? These radical rumpers see that the people are going to have no farther use of them after next election, and are trying to steal enough soap to keep their dirty carcasses «loan the

balance of their lives.

- The New Yo.. *'ren, edi.ed by •■...des O'Reilly,” says that ii General Grant casts hls lot with Congress “ho will be tbo most disgracefully beaten candidate for the Presidency that ever ran In tho United States.” There is little or no doubt about that. “Miles O’Reilly” Is Major Halpio, the present Auditor of New York city, to which office ho was elected J by the aid and approbation ot the whole Republican party. He was a gallant soldier In the war under General Grant. ' —Here Is another item of AYashington go?- ' sip: ‘‘That the present condition of tho presj identlal question is regarded with uncommon ! Interest by the rival aspirant*, we need only ; refer to their *oci*l relation* for confirmation. The receptions of General Grant are open to the public. They arc popular entertainment* ; to which acoes* I* gained without the usual conventional exactions. They are as free to theChief Justice as to the populace; but ho does not avail himself of his social advantage, and hls accomplished daughters, Mrs, Senator Sprague and Mlsa Chase, decline to grace the receptions of tho future dictator. The receptions of Judga Chase are somewhat exclusive, and aro attended by the courtly people of the capital. On the days appointed, tho street in front of his mansion Is thronged with carriages with liveried drivers and footmen; but the Grant turnout Is never among them. And so we infer that tho presidential rivalry has

created a social coolness.”

—AVe have had three years of peace. During all that time tho people of the South have been unarmed and defenceless. Not a hand ha* been lifted there against the Federal Government. Its authority and the supremacy of the Constitution have been acknowledged by all who favored tbe rebellion. And now Congress passes an act to loll let a despotism bill, a bayonet bill, upon a people defenceless and starving. It proposes to put them, men and women, under tbe thumbs of tholr negroes. It proposes to put millions of white men, and women, and children, the cultivated and the refined, under uihlection to ignorant and 111 smelling Africans. The whele thing is cowardly. It Is brutal. It Is horrible. It Is devilish. It Is an accursed crime against mankind. It is a revolting sin against God. Senator Johnson’s Speech.—AVashhlogton correspondent writes as follows: The compliment wnlcb the Senator from Maryland bestowed on Senator Morton, of Indiana, would certainly bo superfluous If applied to Senator Reverdy Johnson in tho presence of any person who had the rare good fortune to listen to bis speech. It woe Mr. Johnson who,‘of all the statesmen now ocupying seats In the Senate Chamber, perfectly illustrated to-day the gractousneas and dignity of bearing, tha careful utiereoco and the commanding force of argument, which were natural to and employed by the greet debe-
