with its own quarters, could be formed, aud q
general headquarters established.

THE GREEsBACKERs.
half-dozen self-sacri6cing patriots lowered
over lamp in q Clark-street office last evening
for several hours with view to doing some
thing whereby the corpse Of the Independent
OF Grcenback party might be revived in this
city. The gathering called itself IN Executive
Committee, but it dishonored its name BY fail
ing to do anything. Several Of those present
tried to enthuse the others with long speeches
and cheap promises, but the spirit was
wanting. In fact, the trouble appeared
to be that no one bad any money,
and no one knew anybody with any who could
be gotten hold OF for use in the Independent
cause. This was perplexing in the extreme,
and the question Ut deserving the sinking or
sunken ship WIS for time uppcr1nost. In the
midst Of the discussion on this point, member
said TINT the Committee had boxed the compass
aud made id fools Ut themselves, etc. It was
finally agreed, however, to unite their speeches
and wealth In q desperate effort to rally the In
dependent fu-ces, and to that end meeting is
to be held somewhere in the Fourteenth Ward
Tuesday evening.
