There will be disposition mani
tested to-day by the Copperheads 10
trade votes. There is no earthly
prospect Of the election Of any of
their State officers or their candidates
for the Legislature. They think
there il no danger Of the defeat Of
NIBLAoK, and they hope by fraud,
m representation, and SANDER TO
secure enough votes to defeat Col.
RHEIHLAEDER. And 10 obtain votes
for LUNKENnEIMER they will sell
out any other Of their candi-
dates. We say to all true Union
men, make no such unholy alliance.
Sacrifice nothing against DEBRULER
or RHEINLAEDER, or any other Of the
candidates Oft Union Ticket, and re-
fuse all trading whatever. We have
nominated our men and they have con-
scented to make the race for us, as the
representatives Of our principles.
Every one Of them from the highest
TO the lowest IN entitled TO the honest
and united support Of the Union
party. We can give all Of them a
handsome majority in old Wander
burgh. Let the Ticket Of the Stars
and Stripes, Of the Red, White and
Blue, the Ticket Of Loyalty, the Tick
ct of Congress aud our Country, go into
the Ballot Box without scratch or
mar upon it. No compromise with
rebels.

The Freedmen's Bureau for Poor
ta .si Whites or the South. ~
a. We have heard much during the
canvass Of the Freedmens Bureau,
which the Cop9erheads say was estabr
llshsd by a Radical Congress to sup
port lazy negroes in idleness, The
C6prier yesterday, IN the Extra cireur
lated gratuit0nsly over the city, was
illustrated with a low eat Designed TO
represent ID, aud was filed with lying
appeals to the baser passions Of men.
Under the entWas the following; Let
negroes earn their food and clothing
as white men have 10 earn them"
We have heretofore shown that the
Freedmen's Bureau was doing more
to feed the poor white people Of the
South than the negroes, and the statis-
tics show il. La the very issue Of the
Go4fief which contained these base
appeals, and which charged that the
Bureau was feeding the lazy. worth
less negroes Of the South, who would
not work. we find in the telegraphie
columns synopsis Of the official re-
ports from Alabama and Arkansas,
received at Washington City, from
which we make the following extract;
\ The Assistant Commissioner of the Blu
rean la the State Of Alabama reports that
during the month OF August 1910 rations
were issued 70 l5,059 refugees, at COST OF
sa4,sIbI e26l2 ratiohs were issued 20 0,00s
freedmen, al a COST ofsie.6s4, af ""ii
The Assistant Commissioner Of Arlkanr
sas states that ia the same month he Isl
sued 6.90a rations 10 40s freedmen, ana
6,04s rationa were issued 70 4l0refagees.
Here We Gnd In the columns Of the
Courier that Ia Arkansas more
white people are fed by the Blu
reau than negroes, and In Alabama
more than twice as many whites as
negroes.
II will DO seen, also. by reference to
the last message Of Governor ORR 10
the South Carolina Legislature, that
he uses the following language
Tho embarrassment Of Supplying food
for the needy will be greatly increased af-
ter this firat of October, when the Freed
mems Bureau will cease TO furnish rations
for the INDECENT aud HELPLESS WHITES
and freedmen who have been heretofore
furnished with subsiatenee.-rGoV. Orr, Of
South Carolina. 10 mes. o. LeOtsiafWTe
The fact about II is, that there Is Il
great amount of restitution and star
walton in the South, brought about by
the late rebellion, and the Bureau IL
doing nothing but a work Of common
humanity in saving the poor and
helpless people from starvation, both
white and black. But the official re-
cords show that the greater proper
ton are white people, most of them
soldiers, of the late rebel armies, and
their families, The Bureau Ia saving
from death the disloyal whites and the
loyal blacks If common humanity
requires that tho Government should
do the former, common justice GER
tainly would require the latter.

were so many doubtful men as there
are-to-day. But one Of the best fea-

The unscrupulous character Of the
Oopperhead organ Of this .eity is 30
well established, that we do etalwayp
think II necessary TO notice its attacks
upon worthy citizens During tho
past week Il has been engaged 10 b
persistent effort to yillify the private
characters Of JoHss. HOPKINS and
EMIL BlseHoF. It charges them with
being ayowed atheists, bitter oppo
nents of the Christian religion, haters
Of the Church, and the enemies Of
morality and education. To every
man, who knows the character Of
either Of these gentlemen, the
ISLANDERS react upon the man and party
which utter them, But, lest stran-
gers may accept, as the truth, these
oft repeated lies, we desire simply to
state what is known 10 every old resi-
dent Of this city. ansr.rta.
There is no truth in the attacks
made upon the religious opinions Of
either Of these gentlemen, While IL
may be true that neither Of them could
fully subscribe 10 the HThirty .hine
Articles" the ''Westminister Con-
fession Of Faith or any other Of the
creeds of the Churches, they are both
believers In the Bible, the Christian
religion, and the teachings Of Christ.
Mr.. HoPKINs and family are mem
bers Of the Methodist and Episcopal
Congregations, and contribute to the
support Of both churches. Mr..
BIseHoF and family are attendants Of
81. Johns German Protestant and the
Walnut Street Presbyterian Churches,
and he is a pew hold or and sustains
both churches by liberal contrfbu-
tons. His children are regular aud
devoted members of the Sabbath
School. So much for their religious
views and opposition TO the church.
II they are TO be judged by the broad
standard of Christian excellence es-
tablished by the great founder of the
church himself, by their fruits ye
shall know them, we are willing that
they be judged by the community in
which they have lived for so many
years. Both of them have been
among the foremost in the support of
our Common Schools aud all enter
prises of morality and charity.
The Union party in selecting their
candidates did not make mans pc
ouliar theological views test Of fitness
for office, but they did inquire into
their standing as honest and worthy
citizens, into their loyalty, and their
ability to properly represent the i'm
portant interests of Vanderburgh
County; and such men they found in
john $. HOPKINS and EMIL BIsoHoF,
against whom no dishonesty, no i'm
morality, no disloyalty can be truth
fully established. IL il Notifying to
think that men who stand so high in
the esteem Of this community, should
require this much from us on this
subject; but in the opinion of some
persons it was thought best that we
should publicly deny the ISLANDERS and
misrepresentation of the Copperhead
organ Of this city We are confident
that the people of this county will
to-day Indignantly repudiate and give
the lie to such base charges by elect
