Hard 10 Satisfy.

AN OFFENDER WHO THOUGHT SQUIRE
HAGANY WAS TOO EASY.
In Esquire Hagany's Court, this morn
ing, the case of State VS.. Wilhelmina
Crisden, col, for assault and battery on
Anna Jones, COL, was tried.
Wilhelmlna was arraigned for knock
ing down the complainant, Anna JONES'
who was one of her near neighbors in
Christiana street, on the western dechvi-
ty of Quaker Hill. Upon the chrrge
being made known to the defendant, and
the question asked whether she was
guilty or not guilty, she very promptly
answered that she was guilty of kuock-
ing her down, and that such little pas
times were nothing new to her. She never
allowed any darkies to meddle with her
or her children. She said she had been
sued many time before, that she come
up in knocking down times, and was al
ways ready for good old knock down.
The Squire informed her that such sport
was costly, and that she would have to
pay 30 cents and costs-$2 80 in all While
her husband was fishing in his pockets
for the money, he advised her to bring a
counter suit against Anna Jones, which
she agreed to do, but she did not want
to bring the suit before Esquire Hagany
"for," she said, "the Squire is too easy. ,
She thought the Squire had been very
easy with her, and she did not want hin
to let Anna off so lightly. Finally she
became convinced that the 'Squlre's jus
tice would be stern enough, and war
rant was accordingly issaed for Anna
arrest. The trial will come off this even
ing.

The Greenbackers.
ANOTHER WINDY MEETING-sTILL NO
COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE TWO

IANoTHER WINDY MEETING-sTILL Nc
COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE two
WINGS.
The Liberal League end of the Nahona
Greenback Labor Party, which does moi
admit that it Is the "fag-end," by a long
I,ways, held meeting in S;enger Hall, on
Fourth street, below Walnut, last even
ling, tor the purpose of discussing the
political situation.
Mr.. Moore, who was enc of the com.
mittee to confer with the other wing OF
the party, relative to a consolidation
made report that the committee fro II
the other side seemed dispo, ,ed to run
things their own way, whereupon he
stopped all furlhrr communication with
| them, and left the conferences.
MIR. James Leary moved that the re-
port be accepted and the committee dis
charged, which motion gave an opportu-
nifty to several members to give vent to
their pent-up opinions upon greenbacks
and greenbackers in general. Finaly the
motion wps carried
Then Mr.. Leary shot in another motion
for the appointment of another commit
tee of three to confer with similar COM
mittee from the other wing of the party.
This motion created a lively discussion.
Mr.. Moore opposing itiu lively manner
and arging that the meeting had better
proceed with the work of organizing it
self in the various wards.
Mr.. Learys motion, however, was
adopted, and Messrs James Leary, Ir n
els Scheu and John Doyle were appoint
ed the committee.
Having no further business b fore it.,
the meeuug began to talk, and continued
it for well on to an hour. In the course
of the debate the newspapers came in for
share of attention, and were somewhat
abused though not i'll the most approved
Kearney fashion.
Mr.. Francis Scheu, publisher of the
Deidodre Pioneer (German), and Sunday
DtSpdtch, stated that he would add to his
list of publications penny daily, advo-
eating the principles of the National
Greenback Labor Party, if he could oh
tain adequate encouragement and sup
port.
Mr.. Doyle was the warmest in his at
tack upon the press and sternly insisted
that the papers were all subsidized he
ended by tiercely asserting that the press
OF the city chad better let US alone" Mr..
Doyle's remarks seemed to strike re-
sponsive chord in the hearts Of his hear
ers, and he was loudly applauded.
Labor Reformer Crawford reminded
MI Doyle that the city papers had been
rather kind TO the Greenback Party and
besides giving fair reports of its proceed
lngs, had given many gratuitous notices
of meetings to be held
The newspapers continued to be the
theme of discussion for about a quarter
of an hour, when the meeting adjourn
ed.
The Greenback movement in this city
is getting very much demoralized and it
is hard to tell what it will result in. Be-
sides being split into two small frag-
ments, it is divided in relation to the
vote of the party at the city election
some insisting that the fifty-two votes
then cast were only miserable exhibi,
ton of the party's weakness, while 9TH
ers maintain that these fifty-two votes
are substantial nucleus around which
shall gather a party whose strength and
Influence will be plainly felt IN the State
campaign.

That depraved blatherskite. Dennis
Kearney, has been "recuperating" for
several days in New York. He visited
Brighton Beach and other Coney Island
resorts on Thursday and enjoyed him
self like real nobleman or coupon
clipper. 1t is rather expensive business
living at fine hotels ond knocking about
at fashionable watering places and it is to
be hoped that the poor and oppressed
worklngman will bear this in mind when
when they are next requested to pool
their earnings in Mr.. Kearney's old hat.

The Coinage Congress.

--.-,4-.----...-..a= LONDON, Sept. Z, 1878. 2
The international Congress of weight,
measures and coinage, now sitting at
Paris, has adopted motion in favor of
universal standard of one-tenth alloy
for gold coins. Votes were equally bal
anced a. to whether the same standard is
applicable to silver.
THE FREEDOM OF MINTs
The proposal for the freedom of mints
to coin gold or silver according to the
demand was rejected. 1t was decided
that the right to melt or export coins
should be unlimited that no fixed ratio
be established between gold and silver,
and that silver should not be legal ten
der for debt of over f10.
THE TEN FRANC PIECE.
The Congress UNANIMOUSLY resolved
that the best mode of arriving at an in
ternational monetary unit would be to
give legal currency to the ten franc piece.
The Congress Is attended by some of the
best authorities and is considered likely
to bear a practical result.

THE MORTALITY IN INDIA.

Fragmentary statements made from
time to time indicate in some degree the
vast extent of the destruction wrought
by the famine in India. A return just

shows that from October 1876 to Noyem-
ber, 1877, there were 925, JOB deaths in a
population of over 13,000,000. The
deaths reported in 1915 were 340,545,
