IT is confidently expected that. in
less than a month. Alabama, being re-
organized under the Reconstruction
laws. will apply, with a full delega-
ton of duly elected Senators and Rep
resentatives. to be re- admitted to
Congress. Georgia and North Caro-
lima are likewise expected to apply for
re-admission at an early day. As soon
as all the seeded States shall have
thus applied and been admitted, the
work Of reconstruction will be COM
plete, and the insane howlings Of the
Copperheads will of necessity cease.

The Courier of yesterday regrets to
see the "pitiful' attempts made by
US to exhibit the inconsistency and
insincerity of the Democratic candi-
dates and platform upon the financial
questions. It attributes to US asser-
tions and language never used by US,
and therefrom deduces its conclusions.
By this method it establishes to its
own satisfaction the vindication of
Mr.. EDGERToN by the JOURNAL.
The Democratic party is making
grevious complaint that the great mass
of the money and capital of the coun-
try has been converted into Govern
ment Bonds, and that these Bonds
being exempt from taxation, the bur-
dens of supporting the Government
are thrown upon the mass of the peo-
pie who are not bondho ders and are
generally poor.
1t also complains that the National
Banks are grand monopolies for the
benefit of this same class of tax ex-
empted capitalists. Special advan-
tages, it is claimed, are given these
banks, and they, in a great measure,
escape taxation, thereby bringing ad-
ditional burdens upon the industrial
and non-wealthy classes of the coun-
try.
And yet while it declares crusade
against Bondholders and National
Banks, this party in Indiana has Sc
lected as its candidate for President,
for Governor, and Lieutenant Gov
eruor, large bondholders, National
Bank stockholders, and Bank direct
ors; men who are escaping the bur
dens Of taxation, and against one of
whom legal proceedings are being in
'sstituted to compel him to pay the taxes
dueto. theStateApon hissteck. These
are Inconsistencies which the Courier
does not deign to notice. And when

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. - En-

people in every particular Quite
recently we were called upon by an
agent of New York Bureau of
Correspondence" proposing to fur

letters from that city, Paris, London,
Mexico, and South America, and any
other part of the globe we should

very cheap offer understandable

We have received quite a number

Important railroad Suit.

The citizens of New Albany are
now involved in law suit, in which
they have our sympathy Evansville
has passed through the same ordeal
and been badly scorched. The suit
against New Albany is brought by
Judge BURKE, of Cleveland, Ohio.
and others. 1t seems that some years
ago the plaintiffs received a Judgment
in the Floyd Circuit Court against
the New Albany & Sandusky City
Railroad, now a very defunci institu-
ton, on Forfeiture of the bonds and
mortgages. Property was sold on ex-
ecution sufficient to reduce the judg
ment to $4,000, but no other property
could then be found, the company
being insolyent. The balance on
the judgment and the accrued in
terest now amounts to about SO, 000
When the road was first projected the
City of New Albany subscribed stock
to the amount of 100000, and issued
bonds to the Railroad Company there
for. It is alleged that some settlement
was afterwards made between the city
and the company, by which the debt
was extinguished and the bonds
cancelled. The other defendants to
the suit are citizens of New Albany,
who subscribed stock. and, it is alleg-
ed, never paid for it. The object of
the suit is to compel the City of New
Albany to pay a sufficient amount of
the subscriptions to the railroad to
extinguish the judgment. In case the
plaintiffs recover a Judgment, there
are other bondholders who will I'M
doubtedly bring suit. and in the end
New Albany will have to pay very
dearly for defunct railroad.

Tne Alabama ClalmS in England.

1t is becoming plain every day that
the people of England will soon force
a settlement of the Alabama claims
from their Government, and, if need
be, overthrow the existing Ministry
to bring the settlement about. The
speech of Mr.. MILNER GIBSON, re-
ported by the cable, few days since,
was very pointed in this behalf. He
said there were to be other Ministries
In the future, which would not be
bound by the decisions of Lord STAN
LEY, as Lord STANLEY had not been
bound by those of Earl RUSSELL
On the following day Rev. NEWMAN
HALL spoke in the same tone in Mr.

only to yield to the demand of the
United States, to submit the case,
except in a very partial and limited
form, to arbitration. Is the British
nation prepared to accept the respon-
sibility? To decline to comply with
the requisition of a foreign power be-
cause you consider it unreasonable is
one thing; to refuse to adopt the only
existing method, except war, of set
ting the dispute is quite another.
And it may well be asked whether, if
a question such as that of the recog-
milton of the South as belligerent, in
fiicting. as it did, serious loss and in
jury upon friendly State, be not
proper subject for arbitration, any
great question of foreign policy can
ever hereafter be decided by any
other than those time honored, but
somewhat illogical authorities, bullets
and cold steel.

COLLINS
PATENT SUN BURNERS
AT REDUCED PRICES.

Important to all lOho use . kerosene "
or Coal oil.
KRAVING SOLD MORE THAN A
IL Gross of Collins Patent san Burners
and knowing them to give perfect satisfac-
ton, we take pleasure in recommending
them to the pubic as possessing the fol-
lowing merits:
1. They are simple in construction and
the draft SO arranged as to prevent the
parts contiguous to the oil from beco ming
heated to cause the generation OF gas.
Therefore, 1t is non-exploSive.
z. The Glass Chimney can be removed
hand at the lower part without burn
ing the fingers.
3. 1t saves one-third the oil for the reason
that no light is hidden Glow the metallic
cone. Therefore, you obtain the whole
light: clear. white, and cheerful.
4. The Chimneys and Burners are much
the old style.
We have, also, the SOLAR BURNER
and good supply Of Lamps and Lamp
Stock, which we offer at reduced prices

IT is asserted by those who know,
that Commissioner ROLLINS sent the
names of twenty persons, Collectors
and Assessors of Internal Revenue,
to the President. charging them with
corruption, and recommending their
removal. So far as we know, these are
all johnson Democrats. 1t is our
opinion they are all of this class. OF
the twenty persons thus charged with
corruption, the President has removed
but one. The nineteen are retained in
Office in the face of the charges of cor
ruption officially preferred against
them.

Can a State Withdraw Its Ratifica.
tiOn?

The previous Legislature of Ohio
ratified the Constitutional Amend
ment, known as the 18th article. The
present Legislature has undertaken to
rescind that action. Both houses of
Congress were last week engaged in
the discussion of the subject, tn e
question being: Can State recon
slider its ratification Of a Constitu-
tional Amendment?
Mr.. SUMNER said the action of the
Legislature was Unprecedented. A
State having once given its assent to
an amendment to the Constitution
had no power to withdraw it.
REvERDY JOHNSON said Mr.. SUM
NER was right As Msssrs JOHNSON
and SUMNER represent both sides of
the House, the fate of the resembling
resolution is already sealed.

Mr.. Hendricks FlOOred OF HIS
Unconstitutional charge.

Extra. unconstitutional Chafge. 20
Our readers did not fail to notice,
in the perusal of Mr.. HENDRICK 5
speech which we published yester
dav the decided and unequivocal
manner in which he was called in
question for his assertion that the
Republicans of Congress claim
not to be controlled by the Consti-
tuition in the measures of Reconstruc-
ton. He referred to the foohshIahd
unauthorized expressions of THAD.
STEVENS, which Senator MORTON,
in his speech, most unqualifedly
condemned, and which has not been
endorsed by single Republican pa
per or public man of any Importance
in the country, and with the artful
ness Of the demagogue, which no one
more fully understands than the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor of
Indiana, claimed that the Re
publican party had repudiated the
controlling authority Of the Con-
stitution in their legislation. SeRa-
tor MORTON was not in his seat, but
be was promptly met by denial of
any such thought or purpose on the
part Of the Reconstruction Commit
tee, by Mr.. FEssENDEN, Mr.. HOWARD
and Mr.. CoNKLING. Thus abruptly
cut off in his premises, Mr.. HEN
BRICKS referred confidently to Senator
SUMNER to sustain his assertion that
the Republican party professed to act,
and did act, outside of the Consti-
tution;' but here, too, he was met by
a peremptory sdenial. 1t is not sur
prising that Mr.. HENDRICKS should
then have lost his temper, nor that he
should have labored during the hour
or more that he continued to speak
under the disagreeable consciousness
that his Grafton had been spoiled.
This witless phrase of Mr.. STEVENS
has become part of the Copperhead
literature of the day. It finds its way
into Copperhead platforms. and is as
familiar upon the lips of Democrats
as the indecencies of Brick PoMERoY
and HENRY CLAY DEAN. Poor VAL
LANDIGHAM is showed in the back
ground. His speeches in favor of
each mans liberty to be rebel, have
become stale; and THAD. STEVENS is
now the favorite commentator among
Democrats, because he has said that
the reconstruction acts of Congress
were outside of the Constitution.
This speech of Mr.. HENDRICKS was
intended to be the great gun of
the Indiana campaign, that from
which the Democratic orators and
were to take their texts
for the canvass. In this view of the
case it was unfortunate and very en-
barrassing that the distinguished Sem
ator should be so handsomely trip
ped up" on the floor of the Senate.
Almost every issue of the Courier has
contained this charge We hope after
the scene in. the Senate of Thursday
last it will remember to say it is the |
dietuna of one man, and that as far as
the Republican party can give it
denial or dissent it has been done.

The Hon. G. NJ Clay, Minister to

The return of Mr.. CLAY at this

ence felt. We notice that the Union
men of Lexington have already taken
steps to organize a Grant Club, and
to add to it every Union man in the
city. A Glee Club is to be organized
in connection with it, and efforts
made to arouse the spirits and enthu-

porting Union ticket made up of

than that at Lexington before the
