CTS possess to make anything like show at iiding their meanuess. The govern meut has had small bodies of troops sta toned in different parts of the State ever since the close of the war, but We have yet to hear of their being called orf to do anything more than to arrest some few individuals, which could have done as well by the civil officers.
 But here is the true secret of the mat ter. In the third paragraph of the above article he is particularly anxious that suf- ficient power be given commanders to arrest those who, he says, are evidently engaged in exciting rebellion, and that there should be no hesitation or compunc- ton in closing out their concerns. The galled jade winccs. He would crush out everything in opposition, as he cannot live where there is any competition al lowed. And then must he be snubbed by those who once were rebels?

The Evansville Journal, in common ting on the remarks of the COURIER in reference to the proposed "Pendleton Escort" is pleased to say that
 Ut is evident the COURIER is not for Pendleton much to speak of
 We cannot see that the Journal could iegitmately draw such an inference from the article which is quoted from our columns. We think itwould have been more logical to have reached B different conclusion from our remarks We deprecated the action of certain friends of Mr. Pendleton as calculated, in our judgment, to injure, and not to benefit him. We would have equally regretted to see the friends of any of tho other gentlemen whose names are prominent for nomination by the Democratic Convention makeany effort unduly to influence the party.
 Our attitude toward Mp. Pendleton is easily deined. We recognize in him a statesman whom we can w@rinly and heartily support as the nominee of the convention. We recognize in him the patriot who has been ndorsed by the Democratic convention of Kentucky as the first choice of the Democrats of the state, Ne would have preferred ii tho delegates to the National Con- vention had been left unirammeled by instructions to support Mir. Pendelton or any other candidate. We think that the largest latitude should have been left 10 the delegates from all the States. But, as the Kentucky eonven- ton deemed it proper to give express ion to their preferences in . very deci- dcd form, we certainly have no dispcsi- ton to take exceptions to their action now. We expect the delegates appoin- ted to act in accordance With the inr structions they have received, giving their influence to secure the nomination of Mir. Pendieton as long as he shall be deemed the best choice of the Democ- raey. But if, aftera fun interchange

 There was much excitement here to- day on the occasion of framing the new city government, certificates of election having been given to the Republicans, and the retiring Mayor having given certificates to the Conservatives. The two equally divided bodies met in the Aldermanic Chamber, and each having elected presiding officer, much confa- sion ensued, and the presence of a strong police force alone prevented violence. A Radical member of the committee, appointed to canvass the votes, announced the election of Sayles J. Bowen, by S3 votes. This was per- sistently denied by the opposition.
 Bowen appeared and was sworn in by a Justice of the Peace, when MT. Bowen, acting under legal advice, sent a force of blaeksmiths who opened the doors, and he now has full possession.
 Commissioner of Internal Revenue Rollins has written letter 10 the Sec retary of the Treasury, resigning his position, the resignation to take effect on the confirmation of his successor.
 The Conservative members of the  Board of Aldermen have entered on the journal protest of what they char aeterizc an illegal proceeding of a mi nority of the joint Convention, in declaring Sayles J. Bowen Mayor elect They further protest against the two negroes as members of the First Ward, as none but white male
