The Greenbackers intend holding
another conference next week, to
agree upon some plan for future ac-
ton. They admit being in slight
quandary. 1t is hard for them to de-
termine what course to pursue. If
RESUMPTION is a success they are
forced to admit that the greenback
factor in the country's politics will
dWindle to very fine point, or dis
appear alt 'gether. If it is not sue
cesSful, which all Greenbackers
predict-not at the same time wholly
believing their predictions, however
they know that their theories will
be popularized, and the party
strengthened greatly. While waiting
for resumption to succeed or fail, the
grpenbacker does not really know
what to do. He wants to keep his
party before the country, but there
being no chance for inflatOnist legis
lation this session, he does not know
how to go about it. The only finan-
cial legislation that can be agitated
by the party appears to be war on
the national banks. This war has
already been commenced somewhat
feebly, and will not, it is predicted
by members Of Congress, amount to
anything more potent than a great
deal of talk. From the present out
look things, therefore, have a rather
blue appearance for the greenbacke
even taking into consideration the
thirteen or fourteen men with which
the party claims it will hold the bal
ance of power in the next House.
Unless some new plan can be hit up
on to bring their ideas prominently
before the people, greenbackers must
wait for resumption to be put in OPP
Grafton, and if successful be content
to see their ranks reduced to a corpo-
RAILS guand; or if failure, 'prepare
to contest the politics of this coun-
try" as leading greenbacker said
last evening. - Washington Star.

Local Option Prohibition Party.

The temperance city convention
met last night at Temperance Tenn
pie, on Gay street, Summerfield
Baldwin, president, and Robt. Ire
land, secretary. William Daniel,
president of the State Temperance
Alliance, moved that the name of
the Temperance party be charged to
local option party, or local option
prohibition party. The local option
movement was stronger politically,
than the temperance movement, and
more would vote for it. Its real
meaning was prohibition through To-
cal option. After discussion it was
unanimously resolved that the name
of local option party should be adop-
ted. Mr.. Daniel said the success Of
the local option movement in the
counties had been very encouraging.
They had now six counties, and one
half of another, except three election
districts. The success in Kent and
Dorchester counties had been re-
markable at the last election, especi-
ally among the celored voters. In
the five years of its existence the
Temperance Alliance had gained
over one>fourth the State for local
option. Mr.. Baldwin spoke most
favorably of the work of the women's,
national temperance convention. He
was no advocate of female suffrage.
but thought the time would come
when women would cast their ballots.
to protect their homes from saloons.
He thought it strange that there was
no mention Of temperance in the
message of President Hayes.-BdttO.

Fiat Ideas in Operation.


Our ef1ulgent contemporary, the
New York SIN, is lost in wonder at
the business practices of the AdrOcdte,
the once great National Greenback
organ, to whose moribund condition
we referred few days ago. The Sun
sums up a long and grave list Of the
offences committed by the managers
Ct the AdUOcate. They stopped the
circulation of the paper throughout
the country several months back, but
since then they have been soliciting
and receiving country subscriptions
accompanied by the money. They
haye also taken orders and payment
for sewing machines that they have
not got, and when applied to for the
machines or return of the money,
they have referred their cOrrespOn-
dents to company with which they
never had any connection, and which
owes them nothing. By such means
they have got in their hands con-
siderable amount of other peoples
funds, which, it is pretty safe to say.
they will hold ON to. All this is
very wrong, but we do not see why
the Sun should be amazed about it.
Is il not an excellent practical ex!
emplification of Greenhack and repU-
diatiOn doctrines? Where is the
moral difference between Offering
the people dishonest and irredeem-
aoIe dollar and taking their money
for a supposititious consideration
which is never to be rendered ? Does
it not come to the same thing
whether an individual proposes to
sell and accepts the money for sew
ing machine that he has not got and
nd does not expect to have, or
whether that individual takes part
in movement to defraud the holders
of Government securities out of a
portion of the return which it was
stipulated to make them? The fiat
idea fits the case to nicely. If the
people can imagine that they have
dollar in paper promise-to-pay
one hundred cents which is not to be
redeemed, why cannot the patrons
of the AdU0cdte conjure up fiat
newspaper or sewing machine as the
consideration for their cash? The
AdUOcdte folks have really only put
the initiation notion into practical
operation indeed, they seem to have
learned lesson from the Rev. Pc
troleum Nasby's plan of creating
plenty 0fcurrency at the Cross Roads.
We have great deal of sympathy
for the victims, although their mis-
fortunes might be looked upon as in
some sort retribution for allowing
themselves to be persuaded into fol-
lowing after the igJ1jS .fat,t,ts, other
wise known as the rag-baby. If
they will lay to heart the teachings
of their personal experience, they
may be converted into friends of good
and hard money,-Bolto. american.

Senator Blame went to Senator
Thurman yesterday and asked him
why he insisted that his (Blaine's(
resolution to investigate the recent
election should go over. for a day.
Mr.. Thurman intimated that he
thought the resolution Of the Senator
from Maine was BANKED nonsense.
"You misunderstood the object of
my resolution" said Mr.. Blaine; Il
don't care about investigating the
elections in South Carolina and Lou
isiana but my friend, Ben Butler,
has said that there was intimidation
in Massachusetts that the factory
owners prevented their operatives
from voting for the peoples candi-
date. If that is so, want to find it
out. The purity of the ballot in
Massachusetts must and shall be pre-
served" Mr.. Thurman did not re-
ply. He gently rubbed the tip of his
nose with his red bandanna hand
kerchief and dropped the outer corner
of his right eye. Mr.. Blaine, also
overcome with emotion, stepped
rapidly over to the republican side of
the chamber Washington Star, Sd.

The Way to True Reconciliation.

Under this caption the Detroit
Post INDUCES in some irony, which
may serve to give the people slight
idea Of what will certainly satisfy
the South, and make its people COM
Portable. The sum and substance of
the whole is, that the North shall
bear all the labor and expense of
supporting the government, while
the South shall hold all the offices
and do as they may please:
AS to United States MarshaIs and
Deputy Marshals going about the
South arreSting good Democrats
merely for such little jokes as stuffing
ballot-boXes with tissue paper
tickets, refusing TO count Republican
votes, forging false returns, break
ing up Republican meetings, and
that sort Of thing, why everybody
can see that this isn't Cancellation.
1t is clearly interfering with South.
ern home government. 1t is an at
tempt to force the Northern idea that
there ought to be honesty of elections
and a purity and sacredness of the
ballot box upon the reluctant South.
1t doesn't make any difference that
this is no longer done by soldiers
the attempt to do it at all is what the
South wants to get rid of. Hence,
the only law which can Dlacate and
reconcile the South is a law that no
United States laws of az y kind shall
be enforced in the South.
We put it to candid world that
it is the business of the North to pay
all the national taxes, and support
the mails, and obey the laws, and all
that sort of thing. The North is
rich, industrious, prosperous, and
used to paying but the South hates
to pay, and is net rich or industrious.
The North is in the habit of obeying
the laws, and it does not hurt its
feelings to do so the South isn't use
to it, and it oughtn't to be expected
of a heightened ard chiYalric pOpu-
lation. Evidently the fair thing to
do, the only thing which in reason
can be expected to produce entire
Cancellation, to abolish sectional feel.
ing, and produce lraternal peace and
quietness all over the country, is to
divide reSponSibilities-let the South
rule the Republic and the North pay
the taxes; let the South have the
benefits and the North pay the bills ;
excuse the North from any further
bother and worry in conducting the
government, and excuse the South
from obeying any of the national
laws. This is what the Southern
Democracy really want; and if Con-
gress can only establish this admir-
able and satisfactory compromise,
Instead of puttering with bills to
prevent the use OF the Army in exc
cutting the laws, and nibbling little
crumbs out of the national authority
here and there, the entire people
South of the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers, besides Maryland and Mis-
sour, Arkansas and Texas, will rise
up and call it blessed.

Persons well versed in Cuban af-
fairs state that there is great danger
of an uprising among the slaves in
the districts OF Colon, Cardenas, and
Sagua in that island. The slaves in
these districts have notified their
owners thai after the LIST of January
they must be paid for their labor, or
they will stop work. These slaves
have good reason to feel aggrieved
at the manner in which general
amnesty has been carried out, for
while thousands of their class who
were engaged in the instruction were
given their liberty, those who re-
manned on the plantations are still
held in bondage. 1t is on account of
this injustice that they have deter.
mined to make an effort at the be-
ginning of the new year to liberate
themselves. In addition to this,
trouble of another kind is apprehen-
ded. Large numbers of eXiles who
have been residing in the United
States are returning to Cuba aud
availlng themselves of the provisions

The visit of Fred Douglass to his
old home at CASTOR, Maryland, re-
Gently, affords the Easton Gazette a
theme for a column editorial, in
which it says of Mr.. Douglass:
"The contrast Of his going out from
among US and his coming back is as
wonderful as any told in Eastern
story. He left our country under
compulsiOn he left the State by
stealth. He comes hack by invita-
ton, openly and freely, not to re-
ceive blows, but an ovation not to
ask pardon Of those whom he had
disobeyed, but to extend pardon to
those by whom he had been Wronged.
He left us fugitive, he returns
guest he left us with mind darker
than the skin he bore, he comes back
to us radiant with an intelligence
that his white and venerable head
most fifty symbolizes he went out
from us crushed, cringing, submits
sive, humble, he returns to us full Of
dignity and courage; he left us a
slaYe without rights, without coun-
try, he comes back our equal before
the law and our fellow-citizen. with
ali which that implies he left us a
chattle, he comes back man.

Col. j. Parran Crane, who was the
Republican candidate for Congress in
the Fifth district, has served notice
of contest on Mr.. Henkle, who was
declared elected, and whose majority
was obtained from Anne Arundel
county and the seveMteenth ward of
this city, the returns from which
places are well known to be mere
fancy amounts. The averments con-
tanned in the notice of contest make
a strong case, and although a Dem
ocratic House with a slim majority
will be hardly likely to unseat a
member of the party in any event,
the facts brought out will be valuable
information for the people.-Bdito.

Mr.. ClarksCn n. Potter, a member
of the Committee on Reform in the
Civil Service, is engaged in prepar-
ing report on the bill offered by
Mr.. Springer at the last session pro-
hibiting by constitutional amend
ment special legislation by Congress.
Mr.. Potter has given the subject a
great deal Of attention, and will pre-
sent an exhaustive report in favor of
the proposed amendment. The prop.
OSition meets the approval also of
Mr.. j. ID. Cox, of Ohio, and Carter
Harrison, chairman of the commit
tee. There will probably be a unani-
nous report Of the committee in favor
of the amendment. The committee
will take action on the subject, so
that the bill can go to the House
early in the session. The proposed
amendments provide that Congress
shall not pass any special law where
the object can be accomplished by
general enactment, and that Con-
gress shall establish courts of uniform
Jurisdiction, in which all claims
against the Government shall be adj
Indicated.

In the suit of Whalen against
Gen. Sheridan, at New York, for the
recovery of over 100000 loss on
crops, stock, etc.. Of a Louisiana
plantation, seized by Gen. Sheridan
under the reconstruction acts, the
counsel for Sheridan Tuesday con-
fronted Whalen with sundry affida-
Wits which Whalen had made on a
previous occasion, and which fatty
contradicted the direct testimony
given by him on this trial. His de-
tense was that he believed parties
wanted to swindle him, and felt JUS
tilted in swearing to the affidavits.

of the Amnesty act. They will make
a strong effort to control the February
election. On the ether hand, the
Spanish party are determined to re-
tain their present control, and as the
animosities of the war have not yet
been forgotten, it will take but little
to cause this combustible material to
break out in a conflagration. Should
there be an uprising among the
slaves in January, it is impossible to
tell what its effects will be on the
February elections.

A Bloody Chasm Bridged.

At a dinner given to the eminent
actor, Mr.. John Mccullough, in
Washington, on Saturday night, at
which General Sherman and mum
Der of prominent person were pres
ent. the following most remarkable
scene was enacted when, in response
to the toast to the legislative branch,
Senator Blaine and Congressman
Blackburn, illustrating respectively
the extreme wings and factions of
the two great political parties, clasp
ed hands across the table and inter-
changed expressions of the warmest
cOrGiality and friendship amid the
widest enthusiasm.
This result was brought about by
some felicitous observations of Mr..
Blaine, suggested by what the guest
Of the evening had said on the sub
iect ofhis receiving so much assistance
in his early career through the in
tellectual force of his patron and pre-
ceptor, the late Edwin Forrest.
Mr.. Blaine was glad to say that,
with the end of the war, his hostility
to the South had ended completely,
and he entertained now for every
man, woman and child of that region
the most benevolent feelings. He
had nothing whatever of personal
hostility to anybody from the South.
So far as he was concerned he would
encourage the development of the in
telligence of the South, and cultivate
and assist its men of intellect. APP
plause.
He was followed by Mr.. Black
burn, who was his Elsa us at the
long table and to whom he had direc-
ted his eyes when he spoke of men of
intellect. Mr.. Blackburn took Iup
the gage of friendship thus thrown
down to him and reciprocated in
elegant language every good wish OF
the Senator from Maine.
AS if by a common impulse the
two gentlemen extended their arms
across the table and shook hands,
whereupon the rest of the party rose
to their feet and for few moments
INDUCED in YCciferous cheering.
Now, if never. was the bloody chasm
bridged and the unhappy memories
of the war buried in utter oblivion.
Some of the more respectable gentle
men were affected to tears during
this thrilling episode. The festivities
were then resumed, and We're pro-
tracted until nearly daylight.

A nail gun has been invented by a
New Zealander, to be employed in
mailing down flooring boards. 1t is
not unlike a gun in shape and size.
The nail islplaced, point downwards,
at the top and slides down to the
bottom, when the operator draws up
a rod, and by one downward stroke
of this the nail is clearly driven into
the boards beneath. A practised
hand, by this simple contrivance,
can do the work of half a dozen men.

Colonel Forney, in the lastnumber
of Progress, sums up the European
situation in few words: Europe
is in the most disturbed position.
The safest of the old governments is
France, the republic. In all the
Others there is either distress among
the people or terror among the mon
archs. England has just embarked
in what may widen into great Old
Worlds war, Willie Germany, Italy
and Spain are beset with secret socie-
ties, threatening the lives of amiable
and liberdble Kings. The United
States is reaching solid ground in
her finances and industries. 1t seems
as if the republican ideal is the best
for mankind"
