GREENBACKERS TALKING OUT
In COURT.

The Ohio Democrats announce that
greenbscks are the best currency ever
known in this country. Laboring men
are well enough satisfied with this pa
per money, and bondholders should be
more than satisfied to receive such
money for the privileged securities
upon which handsome profits have
been made. President Hayes must feel
satisfied that the governments money
is good enough for the redemption of
bonds, but it is distressing fact to
realize that he left the conduct of the
financial question entirely to Secretary
Sherman, who is undoubtedly under
the control of gold brokers and bond
holders, who direct the finances of the
country for their own selfish interests.
This being the case, and it is strongly
asserted in quarters where the best
information can be obtained, the
President should not hesitate to place
some one in harmony with the people
IN charge Of the office now held by
Sherman. The greenbackers begin TO
show themselves upon the surface of
agitation at the North, and the other
day we find them assembled at st.
Louis, and expressing themselves as
follows:
wEERKAs, The present conflict be-
tween labor and capital is the legiti'
mate result OF the legislation of the
Federal government; and
Whereas, The burdens imposed upon
the capital and labor invested in legit'
innate business have been so grievous
that they have been compelled TO rise
up against their oppressors TO save
| their families from starvation and des
titution; and
Whereas, II is important that the
cause Of the present discomfort should
be clearly pointed cut in order that the
people may knew who are the parties
responsible; and the people must de
mAnd that their agents, in Congress,
enforce their remedies,
We, therefore, do hereby declarl
that the primary causes Of the present
discomfort are 10 be found,

IT WAS NOT the railroad strikers who
committed the wanton destruction of
property at Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
Their programme has been to stop
freight trains until their reasonable de-
uLaLius are nIeL. ne baltimore aualr
was produced by promiscuous mob
whose object was resentment against
property at the expense even of life.
That at Pittsburgh was the work,
not of railroad strikers, but of mob
composed of all the idle elements of a
city. The strikers in most places have
taken charge of the property of the
railroads, and are carefully protect
ing it,

CONSTITUTION MAKING IN
GEORGIA.

Georgia's constitutional convention,
now sitting, has proceeded far enough
in its work to give some idea of the
character of its future organic law.
First and foremost, it will prohibit
State aid to railroads. The question
of moving the capital is an exciting
one, Milledgeville, the former capital,
Macon and Atlanta being the contes-
tants, with cbsnces IN favor of At
lanta. A homestead exemption is de-
manded, but opinion in the conven-
ton il against embodying such clause
in the constitution. The exemption
Of church property from taxation Is
agitated, and the probabilities are that
such a measure will be adopted.
A reduction in the number of members
of both houses of the Legislature is
contemplated, the most acceptable bill
being one in favor of seventy-fve for
the House and twenty-five for the Sen
ate. DOO IOOnOS Is tuSAOcl, anu IL
being necessary for him to preserve his
character, he would have the Senate
abolished, for which radical change
the convention is not prepared. Bien-
NAL sessions of the legislature will be
adopted, and it is thought the guber-
material term will be reduced from four
to two years, while it is proposed
to reduce the salaries of all State off.
GERS, and to take away from the gov,
ernor the pardoning power. A prohi-
bition on the Legislature to ever rec
ognize the disowned Bullock bonds
will be unanimously adopted. The
probabilities are that Georgia will Sc,
cure very good constitution. Toombs
is the greatest obstruction, but then
there is no Rutabaga johnson.

The STATESMAN presented its oppo-
sltion to the river certificate question
at a time when agitation of the mat
ter ought to have saved the State the
existence of law radically wrong. 1t
exposed the bill in its inception, when
such exposure should have resulted in
good to the State, and at a time when
the Neaos took an opposite view of the
question. Nor does the STATESMAN,
after a law has been carried into ef-
feet and executive officers have, as far
as we are able to judge, acted honest
ly upon its provisions, propose, like
the Neios, to charge dishonesty against
any for acts that may be in conformity
with law. The question has now
passed beyond the province of news
papers, unless willful violation of law
can be proVen.

HENRY s. FooTE is destined to re =
main the father of still-born bantlIngs.
His last move Is for party of his OVID
creation, to be called the Union party,
which he insists is to be made up of
sufficient forces from the two houses of
Congress to maintain the balance of
power during the coming session. A
new party will certainly be created out
of the dissatisfied elements composing
old ones, but it must be under the
leadership of different man than Mr.
Foote.

The national cotton convention,
which lately met at White Sulphur
Springs, Virginia, seems to have ef-
fected little except to indorse, through
the advocacy of Gen. Busy, of New
Orleans, Tom Scouts railroad sabsid y
scheme. The vote on this question
stood 20 to 10. The cotton caterpillar
was also learnedly discussed, and State
agricultural bureaus were urged to
carry on an unrelenting war against
them. The question of specie pay
ments, now demanding the attention
of the whole country, was dishonored,
and bill for the better security OF
bills OF lading was adopted. 1t makes
bill of lsdlng, ware house receipt,
etc, paper in the character Of bank
note, coin, etc., transferable from hand
to hand. The selection of the place
of the next biennial meeting was left to
the executive council.

ny STELLA.

Ii was only woman. Rosv, j,y.
ous, loving, her hfe began. Her u.s.
cent was easy, and sll the charms OF
life accompanied. But st the summit
her sky darkened, aud instead of q
glorious sunlIt descent to her final rest,
step by step the gloom OF increasing
agonies strained tighter and tighter
the chords which held her to life. When
long before the place allotted 10 poor
woman to pass to her eternal crewn had
been reached in life's descent these
chords gave way, and, broken-hearted,
the bright Estelle passed to that rest
which crowns woman with Gods eter-
nal care. Every age has its Estelle,
and mans manhood's the cause,
"weary! weary! of this constant
pain" Read the poem.
WearyI weary OF this constant pain,
This wilaIy-throbblng heart:
Weary waiting for the love sgain
That was OF life part.
The voice Ioytu IN chlldhood,
When the rose wss on my check,
When meath the silv'ry moon We stood.
In accents soft, l heard him speak
Those rapturous tones are hngeringy
Round my lone, weary heart.
The charm Of that fond glance forget,
Ahl no. Twill ne'er depart.
Must see it to another given.
And seek in vain to find
One lingering ray like light from Heaven,
Loves accents once SO kindi
The dream Of youth SO sweet,
Like perfumed breath OF roses,
Like ripping waves upon the deep
Where the golden sun reposes.
Softly DER my spirits whisper,
Whisper OF bright Elysium,
Like the Weet and holy vesper
Blending Heaven with earthly vision.
SsC6red, alas! those sacred ties
By cruel, trcacherous hand.
Spirits beyond the eternal skies,
Once our hsppy household band.
Come with thy pure spirit wings,
Gently enfold the loved ones here;
Oh! reunite those broken strings,
Or bear the weary to brighter sphere.

The English homeopathists are
seeking reconciliation with the old
school practitioners. DR.. George
Wyld, vice president OF the British
Homeopathic Society, says that
British homeopathists have discarded
their globules and infnitesimals and
give doses OF tangible strength, su!H-
ciently large TO effect the object. T1ey
admit that Haknemann's views were
often extrayagant and incorrect; they
will accept the dictum Of HippocTatcs
that some diseases are to be cured by
similars and some by contraries, and
therefore" adds the doctor, 'ft Is
unwise and incorrect 70 assume the tI-
tie OF homeopathist." The old school
doctors, however, regard their hereti-
cal brethren with distTust, and will
not receive them into their fold save
upon full renunciation Of their errors
and a complete acceptance OF the
ancient doctrine.

THE San Francisco Chronicle tells
that the movement of Mormops has al
ready commenced to Slnaloa and
Sonora in Mexico. The first Mormon
colony has already reached Hermosilio,
the principal city of Sonora, and there
is now q chain Of Mormon settlements
extending through Arizona into
Mexico. The country in which they
are colonizing is fine field for the
propagation of polygamy, the female
being far in excess of the male popu-
lation.
