We do not propose to have the
Courier bolt the instructions of the
Democratic State Convention, at this
early stage of the canvass, without
entering a vigorous protest. Mr..
PENDLEToN has been our candidate
from the start, and we design looking
after his interests in this part of the
State. That the Courier intends to
slaughter him, if possible, is manifest
ed by paragraphs, like the following,
which appeared in that paper of Sat
urday:
The resolution expressing prefer
ence FOR the Hon. Geo H Pendleton
for President, was not intended by
the author, or understood by the
Conventio to be in the nature of an
instruction to the delegates to the
National Convention So the dele
gates are left to go to the Convention
unhampered by instructions which
might, under certain contingencies,
place Indiana's delegation in opposi-
ton to the interests and claims Of our
own great statesman.
Again, In commenting on q remark
of ours to the effect that the Democ-
racy of this District did Mt like to en-
dorse PENDLEToN, the Courier uses
the following language:
The Democracy of this district OBJ
iected to endorsing Pendleton, simply
because they did not want the dele
gates to the National Convention to
be embarrassed with Instructions for
any one. So far as we know the SEN
timent of the delegates from this dis
trict, they refused to express prefer
enee for Mr.. Pendleton, not because
of any objection to him as candi-
date, nor because. the editors Of the
JOURNAL distinctly announced,
mouths ago, that they were for him
as the Democratic candidate" 1t
could not possibly affect the choice of
the Democracy of this district, if they
have a choice, whether the JOURNAL
endorses him or denounces him.
The Democracy of this District
refused to express preference " for
Mr.. PENDLEToN, but the Convention
itself did not. The Indianapolis
Herald expressly censures the Gin
cinnati Enquirer for publishing an
unreliable and incorrect report, in
that it left out the words land
preference" in the resolution re.
ferring to Mr.. PENDLEToN, which
omission" says the Herald, " destroys
its force" In addition to this fact,
it was understood that the real fight

for PENDLETON, IN the Convention,
was made over the selection Of =
Chairman for the State Central Com
mittee. The triumph of Mr.. DEvE
LIN, of the Herald, was triumph OF
the friends of Mr.. PENDLEToN.
But as We said before, the Democ-
racy in this part of the State need
close watching. 1t is evident they
design treachery. The Convention
voted preference for Mr.. Pen
DLEToN. IF the delegates to the Ma
tional Convention vote that prefer
ence " in the Convention, it will be
all he asks at their hands. IF, how
ever-at the dictation of Eastern
bankers and bondholders, backed by
the efforts of Secretary McCULLocH
and his particular friend, Mr.. HEN
DRICKs-they disregard the prefer
ence " Of the State Convention and
support SEYMOUR or HANCOCK, they
will have violated the wishes of their
constituents.
Thata most vigorous and persistent
effort will be made to defeat the NOM
ination of Nj. PENDLETON, is already
apparent. The Cincinnati Enquirer
utters timely warning, in advance Of
the assembling Of the Convention.
that a strong effort would be made by
the bondholders to control the Con-
vention. Subsequent events demon
strated the correctness of its fears.
We shall continue to insist that the
Courier, in good faith. manifest The

for Mr.. PENDLEToN.

In the canvass of 1866, in answer
to the inquiries which we propounded
to Mr.. NIBLACK, in regard to his sup
port of the Act of the Thirty ninth
CONGRESS increasing the salary of
Members of Congress to $1,000, and
voting themselves back pay, he stated
that he was opposed to the bill. and
only voted for it because he was com
PEELED to do so, in order to secure the
passage of the Soldiers Bounty Act.
We proved the falsity of his reply
and thoroughly exposed his hypoc-
racy, at the time, by reference to the
Congressional Globe; to which neither
he nor the newspapers of his party at
tempted rejoinder.
Mr.. NIBLACK, however, has recently
embraced another opportunity of es-
tablishing the truth of our charge
that he never fails to add to his pay
or perquisites, and that while he and
bls partisans are crying loudly in IA
chance to put money in his own
pocket at the expense Of the public
treasury. II will be remem-
bered that few mouths age an
article went the rounds Of the press
containing long list of articles,
such as pen-knives, kid gloves, and
other fancy articles drawn by Con-
gressmen at the expense of the Gov
eminent. These appropriations were
procured under cover of the appro-
priation. nominally, for stationery.
Just before the adjournment, this al
lowance was struck from the Appro-
priation Bill by the Senate, and was
sent back to the House for concur
renee. On the question of strik-
ing out the appropriation for
stationery, (pen- knives and kid
Gloves, the vote stood So yeas
to Al nays. Among the nays we find
the name of WILLIAM E. NIBLAcK,
the Representative from the First
District OF Indiana. so 1t appears
that the gentleman who voted himself
the comfortable salary of $1,000, and
large amount of back pay, was so
poor that he could not afford to buy
his own pen-knives and kid gloves,
but must ask the Government to pay
for these necessary appendages of a

Gen. Thomas on the South.

General Thomas, than whom no
man stands higher in the estimation
of the loyal people of the country,
has recently made report Of the
condition of affairs in his command,
which should commend itself to the
attention Of all who are seeking to
arrive at a correct understanding of
the situation
General THOMAS says that near the
close of 1866 he sent his Assistant
Adjutant General on tour through
Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, to
reportas to the expediency Of Keeping
troops in the late insurrectionary
States. He found everywhere bitter
rebel animus, disloyal press for the
most part, and frequent eases of out
rage and persecution Of Union men.
La Tennessee, certain counties are men
toned in which loyalty to the Gov
eminent never was considered re-
spectacle, Union men and negroes
being in constant danger of their
lives" In Kentucky it has been still
worse. In both States, he lays, speak
ing of the present time, the admins
tration of justice in the country dis
tricts largely depends on color. IF
a white man commits an Outrage
against the negro, redress is difficult
and sometimes impossible to obtain;
but when the reverse complaint comes
into court. the utmost zeal and energy
is displayed in bringing the negro
offender to justice, and the efforts OF
civil authorities are then worthy of
the highest admiration In the large
cities there is more impartiality, but
this exception is m4nifestly not very
extensive.
General THOMAS adds that out
RACES are not now so prevalent as
formerly ''-thanks to his own vigilant
military administration but the
feeling of the people does not warm
in love for the Government or its
flag" If this is the case, then, in
Kentucky and Tennessee one Of

more Southern and rebel sections of
the late Confederacy Would it
be safe to regard them all as still COM
plete States in the Union, withdraw
the military, and remit the freedmen
and the Union people entirely to the
tender mercies of the men who
would revive the State Governments
into which Mr.. JOHNSON assumed |
to breathe the breath of life? What
would GEORGE H. THOMAS say to that
proposition? What viii every other
sensible man say?
