The Copperheads are very restless under
the dilatory movements of the President.
For months past they have been proclaiming
their support of his policy and their admira.
ton of his characte They have taken oc-
casion to endorse hSm in season and out OF
season, and renouncing all their affinities,
and abjuring all allegiance to every other
name and power, they have professed them
selves only "Johnson men," and nothing
less. They expected to have obtained all the
Offices within his gift long since, in consider
alton Of their disinterested devotion.
But months have passed by, the Cabinet
still remains intact and the Black Repub
cans 5" are still retained in Office, and others
of like stripe are being appointed and con-
frmea.
The Copperheads are growing despondent,
gloomy and reckless "Hope deferred

The editor of the Indianapolis Herald of

went on to Washington to see what was to
come of it, and here is the record of his dis
appointment in communication to his
paper:
'sThe Federal Government is slowly but
steadily building up Washington, now how
ever, surprisingly dull. But politics here are
an enigma. No one can tell you anything !;
no one seems to know anything; the Presi-
dent is for admitting Southern representation,
all understand thaE but he has no method of
accomplishing it. He makes little use Of his
patronage; he does what he thinks is right in
the line of his duty, when he is required to act.
He retains a cabinet hostile to his own views,
and allows each head of department to make
his own appointments to use the patronage
Of his department as he pleases. He does
not seem to be building up party of his own.

RE-oRGANIZING - LARGE UNION
MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT-THE
UNION MEN ARoUsED-There was a
large and enthusiastic Union meeting
held ON Saturday night, at Masonic
Hall. A large number of earnest
Union men were present, and much
enthusiasm prevailed The meeting
was strictly for business, and was
hastily called together. The very
large attendance gave the greatest en-
couragement to all present, and was
an earnest that the Union men were
awake to the Importance of the com
ing campaign and of their determin-
alton to do their whole aduty-to de-
feat the party that is laboring to hand
over the Government to traitors who,
for five years, with arms in their
hands, attempted its destruction.
Short, but .Eearnest and i effective.
speeches were made by Mr.. John j.
Chandler, Chairman Of the meeting
Major Blythe Hynes, Joseph P. Ell
lott, Charles E. Marsh, Capt. Reavis,
Victor Bisch, and others. tiaff
Preliminary steps were taken for
the reorganization of the great Union
party that achieved such signal vic-
tory in 1864 At the organization in
1864, only thirteen were present. On
Saturday night there were at least
two hundred present, and if the re-
suits of the present campaign are pro
portionate to that of "a, the allies of
the Southern rebels in Vanderburgh
will be buried SO deep that the hand
of resurrection will never reach them.
The meeting adjourned till Tuesday
night, when it is hoped that still
larger number will be present, and
the reorganization will be perfected,
The Copperhead, rebel-sympathizing,
Post Office hunting Democracy OF
Vanderburgh County may as well pre-
pare to go into liquidation. Their
political days are numbered

ESQUIRE STINsoN's CoURT.-As VIC
neared Justice Stinson's Office our
ears were greeted with loud talking,
and we supposed some legal limb was
holding forth on some important
case, but on entering the room we
found His Honor seated on the table
in the back room, frail fair one
seated to his right and his left, and
an aged female seated before him, de-
lineating the trials, tribulations and
Affections she had experienced in her
old days. She gave her age as being
seventy nine years, but she had lungs
like a member of Congress and a
voice like the sound of many waters,
and spoke her mind freely. 1t APP
peared there had been fuss in the
family, y and one of the boarders had
used abusive language, for which she
had been summoned to answer. Els
quife Stinson thought the whole mat
ter so trivial that he dismissed the
case at the plaintiff $ cost, and sent
the trio forth to fight it out.

were adjudicated ON Saturday before
His Honor, the Recorder, and most
of these of trivial character.
VIM. Rahm, Herman Wack and
Frederick Wentsel, paid five dollars
and five cents each for leaving vehi-
cles not in use on the streets.
James M. sTaymor, the old man who
on IN Friday made demonstration on
Main Street with a tobacco stick,
after a nights repose in Castle OAR
ling, was brought forth fol trial on a
charge of drunkenness, vagrancy, &c.
During his sojourn in the Castle he
had managed. to tear off his panta-
looms off, and was led forth IN his
under garments Being destitute of
money, home Or friends, he was
handed over to Chris Hedderich and
sent to the County House. As far as
any profit to the school fund or the
officers was concerned, it was de-
cidedly "a cold scald. "

A NARROW EscAPE.-On Saturday
a small boy was driving a blind horse,
attached to wagon loaded with rags,
to the wharf boat of Messrs. Cox &
Humphrey. AS he was descending
the levee, the harness broke, and
away went blind horse, wagon, rags
and boy at almost railroad speed, until
they brought up against the wharf
boat, between the hog7chains of the
stages. The boy was thrown from his
seat on the rags, and was caught be-
tween the front of the wagon and the
rear of the horse, in the water, with
his face downward. Joe Carr, late
agent of the Louisville Packet Line,
-espied the perilous condition of the
boy, and rushed boldly to the rescue.
He leaped from the wharf boat On to
the rags, which gave way, and Joe
with difficulty saved himself from a
ducking; but, recovering himself, he
soon rescued the boy from his danger
