The CONGRESSIONAL EXCURSION
The New Albany Commercial opposes
the appropriation of $500, as re-
quested by the Congressional Excur-
sion Committee, for the grand trip to
New Orleans. 1t says:
The city treasury is empty, the city
is borrowing the money she is now
using, or has been using. and an ap-
priation of fifty dollars to clean the
many utterly filthy streets and alleys
of the city cannot be obtained. I'm
der such a condition of affairs the
Council have no right to vote away
the peoples money for an object from
which New Albany will never derive
the slightest benefit. We sincerely
trust the appropriation asked will be
laid on the table, not to again be call
ed up.

Pen and Ink sketch of Louisville,

Mr.. GEORGE G.. HARDING, city
editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel,
writes the following for his literary
paper, the Mirror. The likeness will
be recognized by readers familiar
with the upper crust of that city:
There are numerous little villages
with high sounding names-Memphis,
Vienna, and such l~ike-between Sey-
mour and the river, but we observed
nothing particularly noteworthy in APP
pearance. Jacksonville is a humor-
Gus place, with an unsavory smell, a
large educational and industrial in
stitution situated there or there
abouts. Louisville, across the river,
is a big joke. With every natural
advantage it has sullenly accepted
such prosperity as has been forced
upon it, and could not be avoided by
the stupid obstinacy of its citizens,
while its rival up the river has out
grown all rivalry, by the sheer force
of enterprise. Louisville Is at the
" head of navigation" though there
are a dozen heads of navigation
between Pittsburg and the Gulf, and
every town of FIVE hundred in
habitants, including, Napoleon, Ar
kansas, considers itself a head of
navigation" Louisville obstinately
clings to old ideas, and even to this
day is found hugging the shell of
slavery, long after the substance has
rotted away. Elegant gentlemen !"
live in Louisville, and two thirds of
the population aspire to be elegant
gentlemen" The idea of an elegant
gentlemen differs with different aspir-
ants. With many it is to spend
money freely at Rulers, carry a
goldheaded cane and a pair of Der
ringers, drink large quantities of
Bourbon or Robertson County, and
be heightened. To be heightened is
to be jovial, good-natured, generous,
and generally magnanimous, but oc-
some trivial matter, and eviscerate
some other elegant gentlemen" by
way of keeping up your reputation for
courage is a leading idea in Louis
vile. The elegant gentlemen of that
city cultivate a ~ferceness and
unquailing steadiness of gaze,
which eventually becomes chronic, and
they regard each other ever while tax
ing a friendly drink at the bar, as pro-
spective targets for the terrible Der
but with all their faults, there
is something attractive about the
hearty, genial sociality of the Louis
vile man, and the wholesome beauty
of the Louisville women. The men
drink too much whisky, and are a
little to ready with the trigger, but
they arc a companionabIe set never
theIess. And having once tasted
their whisky. we blame them less for
drinking a great deal of it. A Louis
vile gentleman would as soon think
of drinking coal oil as the Internal
and corrosive liquid with which the
Cincinnatian crisps his bowels.
They wear ruf1ed shirts and long
hair in Louisville. And the ladies
equally lawless, but in much bet
ter taste, as regards the mode.

BLOWING n Al and Cold.

The Radical or ans tell us that the
election ofGrant aad Colfax is a fixed
fact-that nothi ng can prevent it,.
But at the same time they are raising
vast sums OF m oney, sending out all
their stump speakers, and making
most desperate efforts on behalf of
their elected" candidates. Their
actions belle their words, and prove
that they themselves have no faith in
what they profess.-Stdte Sentinel.
The Republicans don't propose to
be satisfied with the election of
GRANT and CoLFAx, simply. They
desire to bury the defunct Democracy
beneath majorities mountain high
That is why we are sending out speak
ers, and carrying on the campaign
with vigor and zeal. We do not ex-
pect the Sentinel to feel pleasant
about it, but we cannot help that.

What a Meant.

FRANK BLAIR's indiscreet and
dangerous threat at st. Louis, on the
10th inst, has again pat the Democ-
racy upon the defensive. 1t is plain
Iy seen, since the October elections,
that his revolutionary programme has
brought hopeless defeat to the party,
which may be its final death. And
while the leaders were busy in de-
vising a scheme whereby the dead
load Of his candidsey might be thrown
off, he, in his drunken abandon, ap-
pears before the public aud makes
the threat that General GRANT, "if
elected, aoiU aeUer ledUe the Presiden-
tial mansion alive" The people
have, naturally enough, construed the
language to convey a threat of assas-
sination, but his party friends are
loud in a disclaimer Of any such
threat, just as they sought to avoid
the plain language of his BRoDHEAD
letter. They insist that BLAIR in
tended to make the assertion that
General GRANT, if elected, would
make himself a permanent dictator,
aud never leave the Presidential man
sion until the end of his natural life.
We have published that portion of
his speech in full, and give the d.
mocracy the benefit of their explana-
zion. Our readers can form their
own opinions.

nnr city Finances.

The laundering editor of the COW-
,ier. who is totally ignorant of our
local matters or city affairs, is anxious
10 provoke US into a discussion of the
present management of municipal
finances. We are prepared to show,
to the satisfaction of every taxpayer,
that such a wretched condition and
policy of city finances have not been
inflicted upon uisinee the first organ
izatiou Of the municipality, and that
if the system OF Encouragement and
reckless expenditure for no substan-
tial benefit, which has marked the
city government for the past six
months becomes the settled policy,
the city finances will, at no distant
day, be submerged in hopeless bank
ruptcy.
But this is not the time to expose
the folly and want of business
tact which is displayed. We are
just upon the eve of the long-delayed
period for the collection of city
taxes. 1t is the largest assessment
v e levied, and it will bear heavily
upon the people to pay it. And yet,
by the present foolish financial policy
OF our municipal officers, it has been
made necessary to be collected, 10
order to save, evea IN part, N city
credit. We are not disposed to throw
obstacles in the way of its collection.
We hope u citizens will yield to the
unfortunate necessity, and pay up
their taxes, hard as it may be. The
dilemma is upon US, and we cannot
avoid it by repudiating the onerous
assessment. We want to do nothing
that will even remotely prevent the
collection of the tax duplicate, and
woald therefore prefer to postpone an
exposition of city financial man.
agement for a few weeks. And
it would be we'll if Mayor
WALKER or Councilman REITZ
would step down to the C0ar-
Ter office and inject a little prudence
and common sense into the empty
headed noodle Of that establishment.
The popular motto, Let us have
peace" should be the Mayors cry
until the 81 40 taxes are paid. The
city treasury is in no condition to
stand a shower of injunctions and
law suits. We join now with the
Mayor in the urgent request to the
people to pay up their taxes promptly
and fully.
La a little while we will give the
Courier and the Democratic city off
cials abundant occupation in the dis
cussion Of city finances. The people
willed it las Spring to make the ex-
pertinent of a change of administra
ton and policy, and we propose in due
time to show what are some of its
blessed fruits. Let us for the present
bear the ills we have" by paying up
the onerous Eve will not say illegal)
taxation, than fly to others which
we know not of" by abandoning ever
an imbecile administration to count
less litigations and hopeless bank
ruptey.

Bakers majority. and in doing so

Gated readers, who lost a considerable
sam of money. Starting cut by in
sisting that HENDRICKS was elected,
they next had to concede his defeat,
but placed BAKERS maj ority at 2O5;
then it went up to 244; then to GIG,
and finally the Sentinel ~confesses that
it will reach 974. tits not improbable
that a day or two longer of arduous
figuring on its part will make the

money on the many private tele-
grams I" received at the Courier Office

figures, feel very sore, but we know
no way by which they can avenge
themselves except by voting for
GRANT and COLFAx.

The returns from Ohio, Indiana,
and Pennsylvania recall an anecdote
which is found in PHELPs's Life of
the distinguished General:
Late in the afternoon, Grant,
standing on a little knoll, saw the LIST

the field. One of our regiments, in
line Of battle, had been SO thinned
aud weakened that it was evident
that it must give way soon.
although fighting to drive the
enemy from one of the last important
positions which they held. Grant saw
the time for the final blow had come:
he instantly halted the regiment and
showed himself to the men, who re-
ceived him with ringing cheers.
Drawing his sword, he placed himself
at their head, and shouting, Now 8

The Chicago Journal says the ILL.,
nois Democratic State Central Com
mittec has just issued an address to
the terrified, assuring them that
" viewing the late elections in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, and Indiana in their
proper light, there is nothing in them
to depress, but much to encourage"
The principal encouragement, says
this address, is that these elections
" have won for us a tactical position,
which, combined with the justice of
our cause, should, and no doubt will,
with proper effort, insure u ultimate
success" For cool impudence this
has few equals. This tactical posi-
ton" is similar to the one General
MCCLERNAND, Chairman of the Com
mittee, took before Vicksburg, and
which involved his command in i'm
I%ninent peril, and would, had it not
been for the genius of GRANT, have
proved a most terrible disaster.

on having won a tactical position"

SHORTLY after the battle of Five
Forks, the storming of Petersburgh,
and the occupation of Richmond by
the Union army, General GRANT sent
the following letter to General LEE:
APRIL z, 1865.
GENERAL: The result of the last
week must convince you of the hope
lessness of further resistance on the
part of the Army of Northern Vir-
gtnia In this struggle. feel that it is
SO, and regard it as my duty to shift
from myself the responsibility of any
further efusion of blood by asking Of
you the surrender of that portion of
the Confederate States Army known
as the Army of Northern Virginia"
US. GRANT, Lieut.. Gen.
GENERAL R. E. LEE.
By substituting the Democratic par
ty where the Army of Northern
Virginia is named, the letter is es-
pecialIy applicable to the present
phase of the political struggle. We
have no doubt were General GRANT
to send a similar epistle to HoRATIo
SEYMOUR, that like General LEE, he
would make the surrender demanded.

We heartily endorse the opinion
expressed by General BLAIR previous
to the recent elections, to the effect
that unless the Democracy carry
Pennsylvania by a large majority there
is no possible hope of success" The
efforts made by the Democrats to
carry the State demonstrated that
they shared his convictions on that
point, and this fact is further con-
frmcd by the panic that resulted
from the overwhelming defeat of the
party. There is no use in ~contending
against fate. The party might as well
be still and die as easy as possible.
