GREENBACK CONVENTION.
ON Soft M0ney-A Full
Ticket Nominated.
the American Press Association,

BY the American Press Association,
MERIDEN, Ct., March GA Green
back Mass Convention assembled to-
day in the Grand Army Hall. Quite a
large representation was present from all
parts OF the State. The convention was
called to order by Il. Gillett, of Hartford,
who was made permanent President. T..
+. Lamb, New Haven, and II. G. LOOMS, all
OF Hartford, were elected secretaries. Mr..
Gillett on taking the chair made speech
of thanks for the honor conferred
The Committee on Resolutions was an
pointed and retired for consultation. Dur
ing their absence quite number of
speeches were made expressing great con-
fidence and hope in the movement.
The Committee on Resolutions presented
platform, which was adopted. The plat
form demands economical government, dis
courag1ng monopolies, enacting laws for
the benefit Of the whole people, and It de-
e4afes that fixing an arbitrary date for the
resumption of specie payments has paral-
yzed enterprises and industry generally.
and thus postpone sswhen it shall be posi-
BILE to maintain our paper money'at par with
coin. They, therefore, ask the immediate
repeal OF the resumption act. Tho Govern
ment should not dishonor its own promises.
nor issue full legal tender for all public and
National Bank notes, which should be
gradually reduced from circulation, and
the general government should have moth
ing whatever to do with banking or banks
of discount and deposit. No paper money
should be allowed in circulation, except
that issued directly by the United States
Government. Should exchange legal tend
crs for interconvertible bonds bearing low
rate of interest, but sufficiently high to
maintain them at par with gold coin. When.
ever currency becomes in excess, surplus
would then flow into bonds, and whenever
currency becomes too scarce bonds would
be converted into currency.
They demand that the State Legislature
enact laws for the better protection of me-
| chanics and laborers, and that the lepal
rate of interest be fixed at six per cent.
| The following nominations were made !:
For Governor, Hon. Charlss Atwater, of
New Haven; for Lieutenant Governor,
Francis Gillett, of Hartford; for Secretary
of State, Lucien V. Penny, of Winsted; for
Treasurer, L. F. Judge, of New Britain: for
Comptroller, j. A. Reak, of Naugatuck.
The Executive Committee was empowered
to fill any vacancy that might occur in the
ticket. A committee was appointed to wait
upon Mr.. Atwater and notify him of his
nomination. They did so to-day, and he
accepted the nomination.

The Approach of Winter.

The weather prophets predict 8 cold winter-good news for some classes, but bad news for others. Skaters, ice dealers and those who are fond of sleigh ing rejoice in the prospect, but it is not welcome to those who have to buy coal and overcoats and who find their ex- penses increase with the fall of the ther- mometer. Winter constitutes state of siege for large part of the population of a great city. Last year the season was unusually mild, and yet the poor suffered extremely, and their misfor- tunes were aggravated by the general depression of trade. How will it be with them in 1876-7, if we arc to have from November till March reign of ice and snow, and a chilly temperature oc- casionallY falling to zero9 We shall see repeated in an opposite form the mis- fortunes of last summer, when the death rate rose to an alarming heightand thou sands of children perished in a few weeks. The intense heat of July and August had the effect of pestilence among the poorer classes who were un. able to escape from the crowded districts and confined streets of the city. Reliei was afforded them by the free excursions on the rivers and the bay, and hundreds of little children were saved from deatl by our charitable societies. The many noble associations for the relief of tho poor of New York will not be idle thil winter, but their own resources are limit ed, and they will soon be required to asl for public assistance. The metropoli
 which has answered the cry for help iron Savannah and other cities of the Soutl will not be deaf to the call of it's owl poor, and now is the time to provide fo
 their necessities. es.-NeaU York Herald.

What Came from the We'll.

The Salisbury (Del) Sentinel says . Mir. Samuel J. Turner drew up from his we'll, in the water bucket, most curious reptile. The thing, which looks some thing like huge lizard, is about twelve inches long, and is of a dark brown or leaden color, with dull yellow spots over the entire body. It has head like frog, is white under the throa-, it's breathing holes are situated on it's upper jaw, in the same manner as 8 DOT poise's. It has four legs and large fiat tail, about the same length as the body. the water at very rapid rate. It is by some supposed to be triton or water newt, but Dick says that it is a spring feeder, and that if he is removed from the we'll, the well will go dry, as his mission is to keep the springs open, and they generally go in pairs.

The Indian Problem,

General R. H. Milroy believes that all the Indians in this country can be civilized, Christianized and made good citizens in one generation. His plan is for the government to adopt system of compulsory education and strenuously enforce it. All Indian children over five years old should be taken from under the authority of their savage parents and placed wholly under the control of white male and female teachers, pos sessing the proper qualifications as to capacity, industry, frmness, kindness, pure morality, zealous missionary spirit, etc., who would train up these children to habits of industry, Christianity, cleanliness, economy, 8 knowledge ot the English language and elementary branches of education. Many suppose that the Indians have governments of their own which afford them protection. Dr. Williamson most emphatically de nies this, and says: "I have been inti- mately acquainted with the red men for more than forty years, most of that time residing among them and convers- ing with them daily, and in all that time I never heard of one of their chiefs at, tempting to punish one of his people for injuring another"
