WnKEsBARRE. July 22-The leaders Of the
National party in the Southern counties Of New
York disclaim all sympathy with Communism and
deny all knowledge of its existence Their OBJ
ject in organizing new political party, as they
explained it to me in Elnira, is to secure what
they call financial and labor eforms. 1.-The coun-
try must have more currency and it must be full
legal tender for all dues-those of the govern
ment to the bondholder and those of the mer-
chant for duties" said James Wright Of Elmira,
TO me last week, and he is q sort of an oracle
among the Greenbsck men of Chemung, and ex-
poets to be their candidate for County Judge
II know of no organization here that proposes to
make war upon the established institutions Of So
ciety," he continued, "snd If there is any such,
the National party has nothing whatever to do
with It, The majority of us, though mechan MICS,
own little property, and any movement that en-
dangers the security Of that cannot succeed in
this part of the State. We are bringing in the
farmers by the score, and they would have moth
ing to do with us If We were Communists. !

Greenbackers in Convention.

The conventions Of Greenbackers held
at Gardiner yesterday, were much 'ss IN
numbers than had been anticipated, the
two conventions with Leo Miller to assist
them making but a beggarly show. The
county convention was exceedingly tame.
The congressional convention, however.
was quite lively affair, as our report OF
the proceedings will show. Tickets were
distributed in the convention for several
candidates, but the wires had been 80 sue
cessfuly laid by the managers for the
nomination OF Mr.. Phlbrick of Skowhe-
gan that he easily carried off the nominA-
ton.
Mr.. Philbrick was denounced openly IN
the convention as Il banker ot thsr,N wears
standing, and several of the delegates
vowed they would not support him. de
clarinc that il was too much To be asked
TO support bondholder aS n candidate
for governor. and man who had been
all his life in the banking business as
candidate for Congress.
Those who see our report will wonder
where the representatives of the laboring
class were that they did not appear upon
the committees.

The recent extraordinary fatality of the heat in
St. Louis is thus explained by General Myer OF
the weather bureau: The city is situated upon
lime rock and densely built. The rock and the
bricks get heated and make the air hot. Now in
dry air tho perspiration from the skin will evap-
orstc. But there the air is continually moist, aud
therefore does DOT carry of the surplus heat which
comes as perspirstion from the body. Besides
hot damp air is very unhealthy to breathe. Then
again, ST. Louis is situs'ed where there is very
little wind to cary away this fatal atmosphere.

The South the Ireland.

Ireland was long the victim OF rapacity
and Yindictivcness. But 1reland's deepest
injuries and woes were inflicted by her own
people-by their differences and their cor
ruptions. So the South has suffered and
sorrowed, and in the midst OF her greatest
trials the impracticability and discords Of
her own people baye brought upon her the
browning defeats and notifications. The
recent session Of Congress furnished some
marked instances OF this fact.
We complain very much of our northern
felow-citizens. We complain OF their illibe-
rafity ard OF their unconciliatory legisla-
ton: but we too often are taught to know
that our defeats are attributable to the I'M
reasonable and illogical crotchets Of some Of
our own people,. Upon a measure Of the
very greatest Importance to ourselves the
chances always are that il some impulsive
and peryerse southern man cannot fasten
upon it some idea or principle he thinks
important he will do all he can to defeat 1t.
Before the war The South was always put to
disadvantage in The, distribution of national
benefits by the absurd crotchets of some Of
her representatives. Wer regret to say that
this sort of southern folly has not died out.
Other sections can unite and stand firm, but
the South cannot purge herself of the politi-
cal cussedness Of personal conceit.

general vance. !,

as our Washington correspondent CEN
sured Hon. II. D. Vance, we copy the FOL
lowing from the Charlotte Observer: i.y
Mr.. Vance's was an amendment having
for it's object the relief of the people from
nm evil compared with which the tobacco
tax Is as but the small dust OF the balance.
Mr.. Vance represents district and State
which are overr;dden by brutal Federal OF
ficers, who commit their outrages, and upon
being indicted remove their cases into
the Federal courts, which are organized to
protect them from punishment. The pur-
pose OF his amendment was to put these
officers on a footing with other offenders
and force them to be tried, and II need be
convicted and punished, by the courts OF
the State, against the sovereignty Of which
they had offended. :Es.. -:
General Vance stated on the floor OF the
House that he was anxious for the reduction
of tbe tobacco tax. When informed that
his amendment to tue internalreVenue bill
was likely to imperil the tobacco-tax amend
ment be Withdrew it, thus removing what
the friends OF the tobacco-tax reduction
said was tue only obstacle in their way.
Still they failed to put their amend
ment through. after General Vance had sac
rifced his scheme for the benefit OF theirs.
Let them blame their own mlsmanagemen'
OF the majority which was against them IN
the Senate under the most favorable OF cir
cumstances. To attempt to put it upon
General Vance, in the face OF the fact thai
he withdrew when appealed to, is unjust
and ungenerous and miserable bubble.
