A DEMOCRATIC FUNDING BILL.
The Democratic Council of the city
of Evansville has recently given the
A. time honored principles wrench
that they will not soon recover from
in that neck of woods. Finding that
under a Democratic administration Of
city affairs the city greenbaeks, known
as " orders" were fast depreciating in
value, they resolved to create a class
of T" bloated bondholoers " in Evans
vile, of genuine Democratic politics.
Hints were given to moneyed men
among the faithful that the Council
would fund the floating orders into
bonds, whereupon the knowing ones
proceeded to buy up all orders attain
able, at a discount of from ten to
twenty five per cent. This accomplish
ed, the Council passed an ordinance
for funding them in bonds, payable
in ten years, but redeemable at the
pleasure of the city in three years,
and bearing interest at the rate of ten
per cent. per annum. This was a nice
operation for the Democratic ring,
and it is a precious burlesque on their
harangues against bOudholders and
funding bills. A part of the orders
bore interest at six per cent,
some no interest at all; yet the men
who abuse Congress for funding obli-
cations bearing seven and three tenths
per cent. into six per cent. bonds,

to four and half per cent. bonds.

men justify themselves for creating
privileged aristocracy "a class of
bloated bondholders in that city?
What apology can they give to their
brethren in the bush for passing a
funding" bin to Cypress the bone
and sinew, the " laboring masses" "
the honest toilers," the " working
men of Evansville?
Shame on their treachery to Demo
cratic principles, as the same are ex-
pounded by Milligan and Brick Pome-
royl
Let the betrayed masses of Evans
vile Democracy raise the cry of re-
| peat, repeat, REPEAL!!l If city or
ders are good enough for poor men
who work on the streets, does not
Democracy say they are good enough
for the rich who buy them at dis
count? Shall the poor man sell the
order he gets for his days work at
eighty-fve cents on the dollar, and
the " bloated bondholder get par
for it, besides ten per cent. inter
est? Where is Whittlesey? We
insist that he shall demand in the
name of the insulted, robbed, down
trodden, and betrayed Democracy,
that these bonds be forthwith re-
deemed in city orders, and that if the
bondholders object, their bonds shall
be repudiated; and that hereafter, if
any man wants his city orders redeem
ed he shall be paid with other city
orders, fresh from the printing press.

THE Courier has not heard of the
recent election in New Albany.
SENATOR HENDRICKS recently
spoke in New Albany. At an cleo
ton for Mayor the next day, the Re-
publicans made a gain of700.
BLAIR and Seymour is the order in
which the Democratic candidates
stand in Southern regard.
EXTRA BILLY SMITH is stumping
Virginia against reconstruction.
SEYMOUR and Blair are bent on
revolution, but they viii be straight
ened by defeat.
THERE are Blair Knights in New
orleans; may their DAYS be long"
says the Boston Post. They'd better
keep dark, however.
MEN whom the Enquirer don't like
such Democrats as Logan. and
Grant, and Brough, and job M Ste
venson. who joined the grand Repuh-
liean party to.saye the Union.
THE popular will is sometimes
tyrannieal. That was the case when
it compelled the Enquire 10 Seem low
al in 1861, by requiring it to display
the Stars and Stripes.
SEMMEs, the great ship burner, is
in Washington, talking as defiantly
as if he were on the quarter deck Of
the Alabama, instead of in the capita
of the nation. He says that an out
break at the South would please him
much.
SEYMoUR's letter Of acceptance is
wordy and serpentine. Blair goes
straight to the mark, and hits the
Wade Hampton plank every time.
Tue New York San says: z The
Wade Hampton, Cobb and Teombs
speeches In favor of Seymour and
Blair are having the same effect upon
the Democratic bNrty that the guns
of Sumter had-a dissoiTing effect 70

has declared for Grant. He had up
to that IIrae been a strong Democrat.
Others will follow In his wake.
1T is reported that Frank Blair
will stump Ohio, Indiana, and ILL.,
nois next month. The effect which
] his presence in those States will pro-
ouce may be easily imagined.

The RIGHT OF SLAVES, UNDER WILL, Tc
ELECT TO BE FREE.-It will be remembered
that before the war the Court of Appeals OF
Virginia decided that slaves left by will
the privilege Of electing to be free were not
made free by said election. In one of these
cases, styled Timberlake ct al. Us. Timber
lake ct al., large slave property, rs well
as real estate, was sold about 1860, bya de-
cree of the Circuit Court of Louisa county,
for which bonds and security we're taken
by the commissioners.
Some time since the war the slaves IN the
case named brought suit in the United
States Circuit Court under the style of Tim
berlake, &c., Us. Timberlake, &C., alleging
that they were free under the will, and not
being parties to the suit in the State court
were not bound by its decision, and claim
ing the land devised to them under the will,
and asking that the purch asers at said sale
be enjoined and restrained from paying
the purchase money to said commissioners.
An injunction was granted by Judge Un-
derwood in accordance with the prayer of
the bill.
On Wednesday the defendants moved this
court to dissolve the injunction. The mo-
tion WAS argued by J. A. Jones, W. D.
Leake, John Howard, and Judge Gregory,
for the defendants, and A. R. Courtney, j.
n. Sands, and L. H. Chandler, for the
plaintiffs. The Chief Justice refused 10
dissolve the injunction, and took the case
for consideration.
