WoRKINGMEN's PARTY.

The recent labor connection, and what APP
pears to have been a rather unexpected success
of a worxingmen's ticket at the municipal
election in Louisville week ago, have given
anew impetus to the Workingman,s Party, over
which Trcycllck, Bradelugh and other COM
munistic leaders have been busted some years
without meeting with much success lncited
by the Louisville success the party held

mated a state ticket for Ohio another conven-
ton is called 1T Columbus 10 nominate coun-
ty ticket; big meeting has been held in Phil
adclphia, at which ponderous platform was
formulated; and general movement on the
works at the polls this fall ssolemnly forshad
owed from number of directions.
1t is needless to say, that though as demo
Gratis our every sympathy is with the working
men and favor ofwhatever in practical measure
can be suggested to promote their welfare, we
have no faith in the success OF this attempted
independent political movement One idea
parties are always in the nature of things
forcdoomed failures. The idea may live, but
the party inevitably sinks into mere ma
chine of the politicians, falls into dsrcpute, and
dies. 1t was 40 with the abolition party. 1t

as machine for Office getting bv the baser sort
of politicians its "onc idea" itself being essen
tally vicious, the party went down ignomin-
ously and in disgrace In a word, these or
CARNATIONS of classes to obtain their own az

tional party. There can of course be no fault
found with the workingmen meeting, having
speeches and lectures, and forming their soci-

GREENBACK CLUB.

BY a paragraph in our local columns it will
be seen that Ottawa has finally fully orga-
nized, full-iledged Greenback Club. The or
ganization has come into being without much
apparent effort or previous drumming up of re-
cruits, and weimagine its projectors found moth.
ing of the sort necessary. For that matter it
might us well have taken the name of Demo.
cratic Club, for we doubt whether there is
Il democrat in town who is not in some sense,
and we imagine fully in the sense intended
by the projectors of this Grecnback Club-a
grpcnlacker; that is, in favor of ultimately hav-
ing no other paper money in the country but
greenbacks, or currency issued from the ma
tional treasury, receivable for all government
dues, whether tariff or internal revenue tax
es, and always kept at par with and redeem
able in gold and silver, or government 3ls or
4 per cent bonds Then again 10 call it Dem
ocratic Club might be Objectionable, because
there are many republicans who are as hon
csily grcenbackers as the democrats, and such
might be frightened away by the word dem
ocratc"
BY all means let the grccnback club prosper
1t is the ultimate to which all the currency
in this country is tending Gold
and silver the basis, with greenbacks the con-
venient vehicle With this contamination, we
shall have reached the currency Utopia.

of three days finally on Friday nominated

the absurdly large number of delegates com

did their work well. Mr.. Halliday is gradu-

ANOTHER BLOODY INDIAN FIGHT.

The last week has brought some more cXclt
ing news from the scene of Indian warfare in
Montana. Gen Gibbon, who was mentioned
in our last as hunting for Jos eph and his band
from the east white Howard was pursuing
him from the west found him on the morning
of the 9th at place called Big Hole, where
the stream of that name cuts its way through
the mountains. The Indians were quietly en-.
camped, with women and children and four
hundred warriors, while Gibbon had but 1872
men of whom 33 were citizen volunteers.
Gibbon boldly charged the camp, throwing
the Indians into some confusion, but they
soon rallied and then for two hours there was
a hot battle, when Gibbon, having lost half his
men, fell back and cntrcnchcd, The Indians
kept up dcsutory fire during the balance of
the day, but at night withdrew. Gibbon was
too badly cut up TO follow, and after burying
his dead, retired to Deer Lodge taking his
wounded with him. Two days later General
Howard came up with force of about 800, the
scouts reporting that the Indians were then
about 30 miles away, and moving slowly, ap
parently towards the head waters Of the Sal
mon. Howard has started in pursuit, and as
the Indians move SLOWLY" there is danger
that Howard may tumble into their hands.
Gibbons casualties in the affair on the 9th
were 3 officers and 90 men killed and oti.
GERS and 33 men wounded.

announced few weeks ago, suddenly returned

the people, and of Gen. Grant on his travels,
but offered no explanation of his sudden ~
