Encouraged by the remarks OF the Hon.
Rev. Delamatyr, Murch Of Maine. elected to
Congress jointly by the Democrats and Greene
hackers OF that State, has come out as q
thorough and earnest Greenbacker, and talks
about that new party as II 1t was destined
for a long career OF success and victory. The
Greenback party. he says, is to have regu-
lar congressional caucus next winter, which
will decide upon the policy to be pursued by
It's MEMBERS not only in financial but in all
matters that come before Congress All those
members elected by the aid Of Greenback
votes are to be invited to this caucus: In 1t
they are to be gradually weaned from
the old parties to which sley have hitherto
belonged, and which they may show dispo
sitlon to vote with again on party questions
Murch, however is willing to form eompro-
mise with the Democrats IN the preside initial
election Of 1880: he thinks that this union Is the
only hope for the Democrats and Greenback
ers. Unless tho Democrats will come over to
the Greenbackers. and adopt their platform In
full, It will be useless for them to enter the
presidential canvass at all. Murch counts on
the Greenbackers starting out with CAUCUS
OF sixteen members; he hopes to get new re-
cruits when the Greenback caucus Is well
under way.

The New York Sun has learned from gen
tlernan Of South Carolina, friend OF Wade
Hampton and q lifelong Democrat. that the
negroes of the sea coast district Of South Car
olna, disheartened by their overwhelming de-
feat in November, have determined to call q
convention in order to petition Congress to
disfranchise them and to reduce the reprcsen-
tation Of the South proportionately. Those
who know the negro well know the pleasure
and enjoyment he takes In voting. 1t Is one
of the privileges he cherishes most and which
he will never voluntarily give up under any
circumstances. Still 1t is possible that the
SUNS story may be true. The Republican
leaders, Blaine Page II Co, have lately taken
no the negro Acknowledgement question as o
political issue. and convention Of negroes
begging to have their rights and privileges
taken from them would be indeed touching
and pteous sight to present to the Northern
Radical It Is rs,re than probable that Blaine
and his party will bring about negro dis
franchisement convention, but we venture to
prophesy that If the negroes In that very con-
vention are only given fair show each one OF
them will cast balot-box full Of votes.

Ta1mages example is proving infectious
and is communicating all New York and Its en-
yirons. He has now dozen imitators, visit
ing grog-shops and dancing halls during the
week days and preaching thereon on Sunday.
The latest minister to catch the infection is
the Rev. H. Harcourt, of the Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal Church Of Jersey City. This
reverend gentleman reviewed "thc dark side
OF Jersey City life" but not wishing TO pa-
giarize Talmage too closely. chose for his
especial subject the morgue, which he pro
ceeded TO describe with the most revolving
and disgusting minuteness, fairly revealing In
'dead bodies" "scum, collins, filth" etc.
The audience as usual. was highly delighted
with this filth, and predict that their pastor
will yet become worthy rival Of Talmage.
III this sort of thing goes on, It will soon be-
come a grave question what the duties of a
minister are. In New York, just now, the
popular idea OF minister seems TO be that
he is purveyor OF filth, whose duty 1t is.
whenever he sees anything particularly dis
gusting, to bring it to his church and expose
It to his audience for their investigation.

number 81 large sugar importers and re-

A number Of large sugar importers and re-
finers CT New York consulted Hon. David A..
Wells s5t year on the subject OF the assess
ment and collection of the duties on sugar.
Mr.. Wells has just given his views on the
sugar question In quite lengthy pamphlet.
The position taken by him is directly against
the interests of the government, against the
planters of Louisiana and In favor of the New
York refiuers. Sugar can now be refined in
the United States, he says, cheaper than any
where else In the world; the business OF sugar
refining has become of such colossal proper
tons In this country, and gives promise of
such future development, that 1t is matter
Of the first Importance for the government to
foster it, He thinks therefore that the duty
on sugar, especially on the lower grades,
should be greatly reduced, 50 as to help along
the New York refiners. There seems to be no
reason to doubt that these reiners will endeav-
or to persuade Congress to adopt some such
action, as Wells proposes. The determination
OF the government to prevent frauds in the
importation OF sugar in future has cut off one
large source of revenue from the -efiners, and
| they would like to have the duty on raw
sugar lowered. SO as to enable them to make
I up this deficiency. 1t is hardly probable

The New York Times is evidently giving
out OF outrage stories, and has to resort to
the absurdest drivel and nonsense. The only
bloody shirt story 1t could muster up for its
edition Of November 80 was based on X
mark affidavit OF an ignorant negro named
johnson, whose romance Is as follows
"During my absence from home on visit to
nv father, November 8, my house was
burned. | was told by Mrs. Munday that
she saw a party OF red-shirt cavalry
going and coming from the house, and that
Immediately after they came away the fire

outbuildings OF colored Republican burned
because he would not become a Democrat.
The Republicans carried Beaufort county, In
which this fire occurred they cast Al. 900 votes

fIuential and unimportant negro and burned

over ? The story is too fiimsy for even the

ASSASSINATION.
A Lending vtrginian Murdered by Wad-
man, who Commits suicide After
WAriiR.

FARMvILLE, Va, Dec. IA shocking TRACE
dy occurred here to-day. Col Vim. Ran
dolph Berkeley, an eminent lawyer OF this
place. was seated in his Office, conversing
with Mr.. Alfred Moth, cashier OF the English
and American Bank, when knock was heard
at the door, and Col. Berkeley got up to
answer it. On opening the door q shot was
fired from without, and the Colonel fell back
with bali in his temple. Immediately after
the Office, and stepping behind Col.
Berkeleys desk, placed pistol TO his own
was a remark of Capt. Kennedy as he first
fired, which intimated that he had some
that Kennedy made three prevous at
tempts on his own life. and for q long time
had been in moody and Respondent condi-
ton Col. Berkeley died instantly. He leaves
firm Of Berkeley d Berkeley, of Richmond.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec At assassination
of Col. Berkeley created the widest excite
ment here, and the club-houses where he was
popular and well known arecrowded with his
friends, who are discussing the terrible affair.
Col. Berkeley was to have given grand party
tonight and many society people had
already gone from Richmond. Petersburg and
ether cities To attend 1t.
The cause of the assassination Is unknown.
Kennedy belonged to heightened family,
too. and was much esteemed in social circles.
Late to-day coroner's jury was impan-
elled to hold an inquest over Berkeley, but
adjourned until tomorrow morning. An in
quest will also be held over Kennedy to-mor-
row.
The excitement in Farmrvile IS terrible,
and all business was suspended this after
noon. The motive of the assassin is still q
matter of conjecture. Ii is reported that
the trouble grew out of q lawsuit, but many
are inclined to think tho cause was of q diff
ferent and more serious nature. Berkeley is
a descendant of Lord Berkeley of colonial
fame, and at the grand oiconial ball held in
this city, in January of last year, he figured
largely, personating his iliustrious sire.

Tlce ON Frost
Cincinnati Enuuirer.I

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 27-Prof. Tice, the
weather man, is temporarily in the city, and
was sounded this morning on the prospects
for frost It was part Of his observation that
when the weather was cold in Europe it was
warm here, and vice versa. For illustration:
The SHOWS of the Balkan Mountains have
been heavy and the weather severe, and that's
the reason of mild weather in this country.
Last year the first half of winter was special
" mild in Europe. In England the birds
we're building nests in the hedgerows, while
here we were in the midst of the severest
weather. About the Goth of january there
came change, the winter from that time on
in this country was mild, and in Europe be
came quite severe. | expect change here
about the 9th of January-it may come two
az three days before. 1t will probably begin
with storm snow storm-and then the cold
Ana northwest it will be intensely cold and
cutting. It all depends on the way the ba-
rometer swings in + 1t swings from n the
trame : Everything, however indicates cold
weather after that date january 6.
