THE Democracy of Warrick, in
their late County Convention, resoly-
ed in faver of the Government issuing
greenbacks sufficient to pay off all
bonds as fast as the law provides, and
they ''abhor and condemn the policy
of Congress in discriminating be
tween the creditors of the Govern
ment in contracting to pay gold to the
rich and wealthy class, and compel
ing the soldiers to take In payment
for their suferings and tolls, and in pay
for bounties and pensions granted, a
deprecated paper currency" AS the
Warrick Democracy abhor the above
proposition-which, by the way, is
the policy of the Administration since
the Democracy seduced it, and not
that of Congress-of course it will
vote against the nominees of the Ma
tional Democratic party unless they
stand upon platform which favors the
payment of the public debt in green
backs when it falls due, except where
it is provided in the law authorizing
their issue, that they are to be paid
in coin. None of the fve-twenty
bonds, are specifically ordered to be
redeemed with gold. We place this
on record, because we shall not be
surprised to see the rich Demo
cratic bondholders of New York and
Philadelphia, who have recently
brought out Gen. HANcecK tozkill. off
PENDLEToN, make the Democracy Of
Warrick do the. very things they pro-
fess to abhor. HANooCK is vas evil

In yesterdays impression we pub
lished the valedictory of Mr.. r. S.
Spfou1e, who has long been connected
with the Courier as its editor. He
stated that the reasons assigned by
the proprietors fer his retirement
from the paper were of a pecuniary
| nature, and as the statement, unac-
companicd by any explanat tions from
the pub blishers, may lead to false i'm
pressions as to the present financial
condition of the Courier, we desire to
say few words upon the subject.
During the long, continued low
stage of water in the Ohio, business
of all kinds has necessarily been very
dull. Merchants, the bulk Of whose
trade comes from the, towns along the
lower Ohio, the Cumberland and
Tennessee Rivers, fave not felt iusti-
fed in paying large advertising bills
when the mails and packets to that
section of country have been so ir-
regular and uncertain, and as
natural consequence, the dull times
have affected us In common with
all other classes of business. An
other thing which has com
PEELED us to economize in every
possible manner is, that we have
not received that support from the
Democracy that our position as the
chief organ of the party, in the First
District, merits. The circulation of
our paper in the city proper ought to
be at least one thousand copies, and
could easily be raised to that number
if our Democratic friends would give
US one day of good, earnest assist
ance. With a hearty and Jealous sup
port on the part Of our friends at
home, we would be enabled to employ
the best editorial ability, and add
greatly to the amount of reading mat
ter now published. Our desire is to
make the Courier in every respect a
first-class newspaper, and as soon as
we see a disposition on the part of
Democrats here in Evansville to aid
US In the undertaking, we are ready
to put into the concern a capital amply
adequate TO make the paper rank with
any of our Western Democratic CO.
temporaries.-COurier, 22d.
just so, precisely. Easily under
stood. Gentlemen Democrats, walk
up TO the Captains office and settle.
The organ squeaks badly. Its ma
chincry needs greasing. Seriously.
wouldn't it be better for the propr;-
etors of the Courier to make it paper
that Democrats couldn't do without,
than. to be whining about their neglect?
and subscribers usually
support those papers only which they
are satisfied gives them the worth of
their money.

THE Austin (Texas) Republican
says: No Conservative can any
longer hope to defeat the Convention
in Texas. There is only difference
Of nine thousand in favor of the
whites, so that FIVE thousand whites,
added to the colored voters, will give
US majority. But a0e haze at least
turenty, ,JfUe thousand a0h5te Repubii-
cans, and the Conservatives cannot
poll over thirty-fv thousand all told,
leaving Republican majority of
thirty thousand" That is what's the
matter in most of the Southern States.
The aohite Republicans are numbered
by thousands. IF the whites were
unanimous in opposition to negro suf-
frage they would have no difficulty in
defeating the negroesin every South
ern State, with, perhaps, one or two
exceptions.

q, GEN, BEAUREGARD says many of
the best Louisiana families are selling
out their effects and removing to
Maryland. Gen. Schofeld thinks this
kind of hegira will continue. He has
fond hopes that the whites will gravi-
tate Northward, and leave their
homes to the negro and his pimps.

There seems to be decided dispo-
sition on the part of many of our CO.
temporaries to curtail expenses. Their
necessities compel retrenchment. No
business feels the pressure of a close
money market so quickly and keenly
as journalism. Many business men
erroneouslyregard their patronage of
newspapers as a species of luxury,
the first to be cut of, when trade Ian
guislfes and money becomes scarce.
We notice that several papers in the
State have reduced their size in order
to effect reduction in their expenses.
Others are publishing less reading
matter. Our contemporaries in New
Albany seem to have entered into a
friendly rivalry as to which shall be
the least paper in size and contain the
smallest amount of reading matter.
This is all right. There is no reason
why newspapers should not represent
the business of the city in which they
are published. IF no business is done,
the columns Of the paper ought to,
and generally does, represent the
fact in its advertising, local and news
patronage.
Mr.. SPROULE is a clever fellow. and
we regret that the finances of the pa
per for which he has done faithful
service will not justify his retention
as editor. He is a ready and forcible
writer. and a politician Of large ex
perience. The Courier, we appre
