The Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Courier Journal, makes this

eEOne of the fatal errors OF those
who would make "more greenbacks" the
paramount issue of the Presidential cam
paign, is their obstinate refusal to recog-
nize the logic Of events. After an ex
haustive discussion, and ample time for
mature consideration, the "greenback
doctrine as it is termed, does not com
,nand mai arity of either party in more
than Eve States in the Union, and it is
Questionable whether it commands ma
jority of all the voters in three States at
this time.
That it is vending its way toward the
cemetery OF dead issues is to US as plain
as pikestaf. Itis following exactly in
the wake Of the proposition to pay the
bonds in greenbacks, although it has
never possessed one 1.-THE of the strength
and vitality which that unfortunate pro-
ject had. es.-.sz...
As matter of right and justice and
equity the bond policy appesled even
more forcibly to the people than does the
sgreenback" policy, aud it is as defensi
BILE today. Yet who is wild enough to
insist upon stalking the campaign upon

HWhatis there .sinsinuatfug" about
our statement That the resolutions of the
minority Of the comaittee at Cincinnati
we're reported by . salafs ssgrabbera Its
not gentle hint, it is not ae-Sk allusion
ii is aplain, open statement Of notori-
ous fact. '';3.,j s,
The Steubenville Gazette chooses not
only to characterize it as an '.insinuating
attack" but adds that such attacks are
simply dissraceful as emanating from a
journal calling itself Democratic. "
Let us see about this. We might have
used circumlocution, and avoided the use
of the phrase "salary -grabber;;" but that
phrase is the one in almost universal use.
II it has beendecided to employ more
flattering terms, when paper aHudes to
a member Of its own partys aEessare not
advised of 1t. ri ~ Il; as,Ssss.; Peg ss3
The law authorizing slsssss ssas n I! Z, raised
such storm Of indignatiohsshde the next
Congress FASTENED to repeal sJy:ss Ess Many va
of the members felt constrained to return
the money obtained others aid not The
Gazette, we do not doubt added to the
storm raised against the ach and General
MoReAN chung to his money. ~ + rs
If the Gazette thinks that Democratic
papers should be silent when the repre-
sentatives of the party honor salary
grabbing 1--WE can't find a more tender
word J Democrat, and compound for the
dereliction by more vigorously denounc-
ing Republicans, why, in that CASE the
Gazette code differs from ours.
We believe it to be the obvious duty Of
every paper of every party to deprecate
every attempt to honor and magnify any
Ioficial who carries in his pocket public
money i.lesitimateiy obtained. BelieV
| ing thus, we will no more aequiesoe, BY
silence, in the misdeeds of Democrats
than in the misdeeds Of Republicans
The '.harmony" produced by such silence
sayors too much Of the "harmony'
among the Washington rings.
! We have an abiding cenviction'that th'
best method Of making The Democrat
party acceptable, is to make it worthy 0
esteem, and this cannot be done by shel
tering and honoring Democratic offend
ers. II pursuing the course here indica
. ted puts us in "disgrace' witR,s;tae. Ga
zette, we are willing to share that "dis

kEWhen urging contraction as .
mesDsto resumption, the Commercials
scorn for debtors was something sub
lime. Now that it has elected itself chief
manager Of the silver question, it has de-
cided that ssthe debt paying people shall
have fair play"
After much violent oscillation the
Commercially head seems TO be settling
down to a dead level. 5.

CINCINNATI on the 18th inst, by the largest
Convention of Democrats ever assem-
.blcd in Ohio? Surely Jerry must he off
the track, else he would be in better AZ.
cord with his party.
But Jerry says he can s,see other i'm
portant matters, besides the currency,
loudly calling for reform" So do we,
but do they conflict with the reform in
the currency which Democracy de-
mands If not, let u7 attend to them
also. But il they stand in the way Of
giving relief to our depressed and almost
ruined business interests we demand that
they shall he postponed for the final adj
!justment Of this g-eatestof all questions

It is not imp ,ssible that Bro Jerry

financial views, and our disapproval ha
been often and emphatically expressed.
} But Bro. JONES provokes smile whe
he says, "Surely JERRY must DC off tn
track, eelse he would be in better accor
with his party" The only suspicion {
our political orthodoxy arises from tt
fact that our financial views so nearly co
respond with those of Bro. JONES Ce
tainly in all the States except three {

Yesterday evening Detectives HeaIy
and Dllks, of the Broadway squad, We're
accosted by the keeper of a restaurant IN
Tenth street, near Broadway, who said
that two Young ladies were IN his place,
and that IN his opinion they required
protection. The officers found the ladies
to be about seventeen years old, very at
tractivc, well dressed and of refined
manners. As they refused to give an
account o. themselves, but ut Tn" same
time appeared glad to find some one 10
take care of them, they were escorted to
the Central Office, where they confessed
that they belonged to one Of tn" first
families IN Albany. \. I. and that they
had been induced to leave home by n
wealthy resident of that place They
looked upon the elopement at first in the
light OF a jolly escapade. but when they
arrived in this city they partly rea'
lied their position, and, when
sccosted by the officers, were
devising place to communicate
with their families. \ room was fitted
ND for their accommodation, and Ser
geant Kealey telegraphed to their rCIs-
tivcs. The police refuse for reasons that
can be appreciated to give the names OF
| the fugitives.
