Our Representative in Congress,
Mr.. NIBLACK, has been quite chary
of his favors to US since the last can
vass, and therefore when we are so
fortunate as to get crumb we are
the better able to appreciate it, He
has not deigned to. send us single
Patent Office Report or other interest
ing public documents during the SEES
sion; but the other morning we we're
made the happy recipients of large
Government envelope under the gen.
uine frank of " WILLIAM e. NIBLAoK,
NJ. c." and upon opening it found it
contained copy of the Congressional
Globe. Very naturally presuming
that it contained some record of Mr..
NIBLAoK's Congressional conduct of
which he must be proud, and which
he desired us to see and publish to
our readers, we made a thorough ex-
animation of its contents to ascer-
tain what our Representative had
been doing. All that we could dis
cover relating to Mr.. NIBLACK or
of interest to our readers was the con-
tested election case from the Second
Kentucky District, and the speech of
JOHN YOUNG BROWN, the rejected
applicant. In the final vote the yeas
and nays are recorded, aud we fad
the name of VIM. E. NIBLACK re
corded among those who voted in
favor of his admission to a seat in the
Congress of the United States. Mr..
NIBLACK is apparently proud of his
vote in the case, and is anxious to
have US inform his constituents of his
action.
Our readers understand pretty
fully the merits of the case of JOHN
YOU'VE Brown, noted rebel civilian
| of Kentucky, who was elected by the
rebel Democracy of the Henderson
District as their representative in the
Congress of the United States. In
the early stages of the late war of the
rebellioh, Brown did all he could, by
his speeches in different parts of the
State, to array Kentucky against the

THE Crescent City Silver Band have

What motive our namesake has for

mine. This Band, In the trying po-
litical canvasses of the past, con tribu-
ted much toward strengthening the
Union party upon which the Indianap-
oils Journal has been pensioned. The
Band has been as noted for its pat
riotism as for the magnifcence of its
music, and it has never higgled about

party or any benevolent enterprise

We publish this morning letter
from General THos. G. PITCHER, Su-
perrin tendent of the United States
Military Academy at West Point, ad-
dressed to his old comrade-in-arms,
Major A. L. ROBINSON, of this city.
lin reply to a communication which
lirst appeared in the Chicago Tribune,
some weeks ago. The Tribune article
has had a wide circulation through
put the country, and its tendency was
seriously to injure the reputation of
the Military Academy. We are glad
Ito be able to make an authorized and
reliable denial Of the statements con
ltained in the communication referred
To. In this State, and especially in
Ithis city and District, where General
PITCHER has been known from child
hood, no one would believe that he,
las Superintendent of the Academy,
would tolerate any of the Irregular
tiles and immoralities alleged to have
IAN existence there. We trust that
\the press of the country viii give the
tGeneral's denial as wide publicity as
WAS given the communication in the

THE MORALS AT WEST POINT.
Letter From the Superintendent
Gen. I. G. Pitcher.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Feb. Is, 1858.
Hon. Al. Robinson, Evansville, Indtana:
My DEAR SIR: Yours of the oath
ult., with newspaper slip, was duly
received, and would have received
earlier attention but for my absence
from my post. Permit me to thank
you for the interest you manifest in
the Military Academy, and may not
the Superintendent appropriate a
small share of it to himself, as on
former occasions you have been
pleased to express more or less inter
est in my success? As | said before,
I am gratif ID that you take so much
interest in the Academy. and I regret
that the people generally do not take
more, as well as some pains to ac-
quaint themselves with the history
and organization of an Institu-
ton, In which all are interested,
but about which so little is
known. l am satisfied If they did,
there would be less prejudice against
West Point, and that respectable
journals would cease to fill their col
umns with sensation articles on the
morals Of its students.
The letter which you sent me re-
gard as one of those periodical attacks
which the Academy has. ever since its
establishment been subject to. It is
not believed by any one here to have
been written by graduate of the
Academy, as it purportsi to have been !;
but is rather supposed to be the o.
duction of one of the many who at :
nually fail to pass their examinations,
and are discharged in conseqge nee,
and who takes this method of crafty
ing feeling of revenge for a suppos-
ed Injustice done him. But be the
author whom he may, 1 pronounce it

PendIetOn, the Delinquent Tax Payer

We believe one of the Pendleton
maxims is equal taxation, more
particularly aiming at the bond barons,
or holders of United States securities.
Alas how few doctors take their own
medicine. George H. Pendleton fig
ures, among many other leading Dem
ocrats, in the Cincinnati papers as a
man who refuses to pay the tax levied
upon his National Bank stock.-Ne10
York Tribune.
Mr.. Pendleton last year paid his tax
upon the small National Bank invest
ment which he holds. The tax was
refunded to him, because a Republi-
can Supreme Court has decided that
it was unconstitutional. The matter is
now whore II was left by the Repub-
lican Conergt7s aqd the Republican
Supreme Court. Mr.. Pehdleton pays
all taxes which they decide to be le-
gal. Would the Tribune have him
pay tax which has been refunded
him?-C Cincinnati Enquirer.
Will the JOURNAL please copy?-
EUdnsUiLie Courier.
The facts are that, owing to tech
nical defect in the first law passed by
the Ohio Legislature taxing National
Banks, the Supreme Court of Ohio
decided it (not unconstitutionaD, bat
not in conformity to the Act of Con-
,gress creating the National Banks.
On this account, Mr.. PENDLEToN,
who is so anxious for equal taxation,
escaped the payment of his National
Bank tax for that year But the Re-
publican Legislature Of Ohio at its
next session very promptly passed a
tax law to conform to the National
Bank Act, aud to avoid the technical
objection raised by Mr.. PENDLETON
and the rest of the Bank stockhold-
ers, termed By the Cdlsiter = the Shy
locks" 1t is this second law, passed
for the purpose of reaching the Ma
tional Bank stockholders such as
Mr.. PENDLEToN, which the Demo-
cratic aspirant for the Presidency is
now resisting. It is a matter of legal
record, which the Courier will not
deny, that the County Treasurer of
Hamilton County (Cincinnati) has
instituted legal proceedings against
GEORGE FL. sPENDLEroN, National
Bank Stakeholder and Director. for
the taxes due upon his Bank stock /,
and that Re refuses to pay the same,
and proposes to contest the suit to
the last o{urtoo of appeal. Such is the
consistency of the Democratic cham
pion Of equal taxation and anti-mon-
onolies.. 1900 y
