NibIack and the Courier.

The Courier declines to make a de-
Tense of Mr.. NIBLACK's vote in Con
gress, whereby he sought to continue
the allowance for stationery, in addi-
ton to his salary under cover of which
he has been accustomed to receive at
the public expense his share of such
little superfuities as pen knives, kid
gloves, and other fancy appendices Of
a Democratic Congressman We do
not know what has wea kened the devo-
ton of the leading organ of the party
in the First District, but there, is in
the following paragraph, very strong
evidence Of the current report
that it does not desire the return Of
Mr.. N1BLACK to Congress, but is
quietly working in the interest of an
other prominent aspirant for his seat !;
but as its favorite candidate for the
position will appreciate, as fully as
Mr.. NIBLACK can, the perquisites o.
kid gloves, it would be well to make
a defense of our Representative, to
maintain the precedent and as a mat
ter of principle. The only reply
which the Courier has made to our
charge is the following:
Judge Niblack is not before the
people tor any Office at present. If
the Democracy should see fit TO MONT
mite b IN for Office in the future. t
VIII then be time enough to diecnss
his record. 1t seems to Us that tie
.JournoL will have quite as much rs :
can do to defend its party agaiast tle
charges of fraud and corruption whica
hive been brought against it, al
should not as'empt to dodge the issues
of the hour by an attack on a gentle
man. who not only is not before the
people as q candidate. but does not
propose to be for some time to come.

How They Regard Greenbacks.

The opinion entertained by the DE
mocracy, during the war, in reference
to our National currency, is well
known. 1t has not been forgotten
how the greenbacks were denounced
in this city and all over the country
as worthless rags. as an illegal issue,
as destined to depreciation below the
Continental currency, and put forth
by the Government without any
thought of their redemption. But
now we have this same party seeking
to make themselves the especial
champions of the National currency,
and one Of their most prominent can
didates for the Presidency pleads his
attachment to greenbacks as his
strongest claim for the nomination.
The New York Ffeenaan's Jour
nal, professedly religious news
paper, but which has always been
recognized as an unqualified, undis-
guised, thick and thin partisan of the
rebellion from first to last, in advo-
eating the nomination of PENDLEToN
as against Elk Governor SEYMOUR, of
New York, takes occasion to show
why he should be preferred to the
candidate of the New York Democ-
racy, because Of the latter's unsound-
ness on the currency question. From
one of its bitter articles we make the
following extract;
2 Mr.. Pendleton, with MS very high
reputation as man of untarnished
personal character, of thorough states
manship. and of substantial wealth to
be affected by the prosperity or by the
misery of the country, has thrown
himself forward as the exponent of
this most just and equitabl plan of
paying an Objectionable debt. Those
New EnGlanders who always have to
find mawral argument in favor
of their stealings are maWrally"
down on Mr. Pendleton. 1t is true
that these scoundrels openly advocated
the making of this greenba trash a
legal tender for all debts incurred in
gold They considered it Uery dis-
loyal" when we told them the filthy
scctbs were not money in the meaning
of the Constitution. But these scoun-
drcls pitched US into the middle
of the greenback mud We elect
to loode through 1t, and thus
come out on the other side. We do
not Choose to l0dde back at the call of
our bondholding neighbors Now
that they have made gold debts to us
payable in greenbacks, we will resist,
10 blood, if necessary, the paying of
greenback debts to them in gold
Democrats in New York and Penn
sylvania are fast Weakening up to the
Importance of this issue. A great
many Democratic papers in these
States have already spoken out. It is
time that all of them should take
their proper position. We are en-
titled TO know who are the willing
servants of the bondholders. and who
are the friends of the community of
peoples that, by the gold pay ment of
these greenback bonds. will be re-
duced to the condition Of bond men

GUY FAWKES AT WASHINGTON.

The communication sent as a warning
by Superintendent of Police Kennedy o
New York to the Superintendent of Pc
lice in Washington which appears in th'
overland dispatches which we publish
this morning, leads to the inference tha
" history is repeating ITSELF in thai
the present troubles, like those of Eng
i,ud in 1905, have induced plot which
las for its object the blowing up OF the
Capitol and the dispersion of " the
Eump by the expansive force o.
gunpowder, the agency sought to be
employed by Guy Fawkes and his fellow
coaspirntors in the destruction Of the
Tarl;ament Buildings, but by that still
stronger explosive material, nitro ely
cerine. OF course the Copperheads will
laugh at this story of Superintendent
KeuIedy's just as they used to pooh
pooh at the sometime apprehensions
tha. President Lincoln would be assas-
sinatsd, just as they hoo;ed at the idea
of Dr.. Blackburn $ attempt to introduce
Il pesiilence into New York, and in the
same spirit with which they effected
incredibly Of the Indiana conspiracy
and the hotel burning plot in Northern
cities. And while there may be nothing
II this but its OWE purely sensational ap-
pearance, still it will be well 10 act upon
ths hin: which it conveys and adopt
slch precautions as will defeat the exc
cut;on of any such Infamous schemes.
II is TO be presumed that this devilment,
.f couteu plated, ct all, had it's origin
in the mind of some one of Fernando |
Woods constituents aud that the
bloody minded villain would at least
have grace and consistency enough to |
give Fernandy and his brother Copper
heads due waning to " stand from uu.
der" when the grand blow-up should
axe place. But the march of events
\ i'll demonstrate to the Democr that
