-1SThe main object of attack which
has been made by the Courier upon
Captain DARLING and the other coun-,
~ officials, is to direct attention from
its candidatefor sheriff, JAKE MILL
Err. The issue as 1t had been made
up by the two parties was, for the De-
mocracy, too plainly one between the
Soldiers and the Copperheads-be-
tween the friends of the country and
those who in the dark, days of war
were at heart confederate with the
rebels. The prospect for MILLER's
defeat in such contest by an over
whelming majority was too evident.
So this great cry of defrauding the
County Treasury was raised, just on
the eve of the election, in order to.
draw off the attention of voters from
the real issue in the contest. But
Captain DARLING did not finch for a
day from such warfare; and with a
consciousness of his official integrity,
the very morning after the appearance
of the charges, he met them in the
public papers and answered every item
OF the charges against him. ALL cans.
did men, who have read both the
attack and his reply, agree that he has
fc]f$ indicated himself. s
This being done, let us not lose
sight OF the great issue in the contest.
between him and MILLER. The party ;.
which under all circumstances,
through every trial, and when nearly
overwhelmed with defeat, stood. by
the Government during the war r of

It Declines to Prove It.

Lit will be remem bered that the~edi-
tor of es.Coursisar stated that sWe
(the editofsof the Courier had been
told by respectable and prominent
Republican. gentlemeneeof this city
that this matter of the plumber of the
County Treasury had been known
to the JOURNAL for sometime; that
the Journal hadproniised, and after
wards failed, to publish it, and that
: ! the task was literally forced upon us
(the Courier by prominent and re-
spectacle, and as-strong Republicans
asthere were in the County of Van
derburgh." Theiwhole of the Cour-
reinstatement in this connection, as
farras it related to US, we denied in
the most positive terms, and expressed
the belief that-no Republican had ever
had any conference with the editor Of
that sheet2 .And(8ith this fat denial
we, challenged hin, to che preafs He,
saw fit to make public a charge which
affected our standipg as a,reapeqtablei
journal, and gave narrative lpf, a con-
ference which. he alleged had taken
place between himselfrand f'hrespect--
able and prominent Republicans, N
which would most seriously compro-
mise them with theird POLITICAL asa
isociates, if true. Having voluntarily
given the statements publicity, and
being fatty denied by u.s. under all
the rules iofl faira Controversy a4d
manly and ingenious jpurnalisn, it
was his duty to have, esta blished the
truth of it, if truth it was, by the
gentlemen themselves!
n But so far from doing this, the ed
itor declines even to give the names
of the respectable Republicans,
who had the conversation with him,
and g forced" him to make the ex-a
position. He even has not the un-
scrupulous hardihood to repeat the
story as he gave it in the previous is
sue of the Courier. He says it is not
his duty to, hunt up, these gentle- /
men," Itcertainly is, or stand COM
mitted before this communitysof hav- !
ing fabricated malicious falsehood.
We do not believe there is any per-
son in Vanderburgh County calling
himself Republican, certainly no " re-
spectacle and prominent member
'of'the party; who would go to this
Copperhead editor of an opposition
newspaper, and make statements to
him so deliberately false and of such
character as those published IN the
Courier. IF there is such, we hope,
for the good of the Republi can party, ]

FROM THE Official RECORDS"
The exposition of democratic

The editor Of the Coarief, 1T will
be remembered, made a purely gratu-
itous and totally unprovoked attack
upon HIRAM NELSON. Esq, the
worthy City Recorder. The recep-
ton which the. citizensEof Evansville
gave it was one of supreme contempt
for the man who, for base partisan pur-
poses, would seek to blacken the
character Of one Of our Oldest and
most highly respected citizens, against
@hen. during a residence of more
than thirty years in this community,
not the slightest-spspicien of dishon-l
estS bad been breathed.
We have, as far as it was possible,
avoide d any reference to individuals
in the present campaigns but Record
er NELSON has suggested to US that.
as the editor of the iCouriernhas been
very partial during the past few days
TO Tthe publication of "o6fcia5 re-
cords" he has an o'sof6cialirecord Fat
his office which it would be interest
ing for that gentleman to see. This
"record "owe cannot avoid publish
ing, ia justice to Recorder NELSON,
and,so explain uths malignity of the.
