Political.

The Greenback party in Wisconsin have begun
to make separate nominations for Congress. the
attempted coalition with the democrats having
been abandoned.
The party of the Discontinued is known vari-
ously as Labor Reform, Greenbsck and National,
but more appropriate name woald be Assistant
Democratic. 1t simply affords au opportunity to
cast LEFT handed democratic ticket Tribune.
Those indignant democrats who are berating
republicans for making political assessments or
rather soliciting contributions, are invited to turn
their attention to Indiana. where the democratic
candidate has been assessed $1,000 of $40. 900
salary for campaign purposes.
The Chairman of the Democratic County Com
mittee in Indianapolis, Ind, asserts that he has
been cheated out of some $l.5OO-mopey ad.
vanced out Of his own pocket-and he brings suit
against the other members of the committee to
recover the amount, and threatens to tell what he
knows about democratic frauds in the Tilden cam
paign of 1876.
More good men in Congress is what the country
needs, according to the Congregstionalist. Gail
Hamilton" probably thinks that good men are
more needed in the editorial rooms of religious
papers--men that have the honesty and msnliness
not to invent SANDER, or that having inadyertent.

A Greenback Discussion.

greenback discussion occurred on Bowdon-

Messrs. Costelow, Drew and Gardiner, of Rich
mond, the challenging party and representatives
Of Gieenbsckism, and j. l.. Browne and S. Ad.
ans of Bowdoinham, the advocates of hard mon
ey. Both sides of the question were canvassed
by their respective defenders, and our Greenbsck
friends must have retired with the feeling that the
prospect of a Greenbsck harvest in Bowdoinham
was rather below par.
Not only was hard money ably represented and
defended by Browne and Adams. but able re
marks were made in support of hard money by
DR.. Elliott of Bowdonham, showing its intrinsic
value and the dependence Of all paper issue upon

We regret to fnd that the greenback organs are
not only given 10 lying, but to persistent. wilfu
and deliberate lying Among the communicated
articles which appear on the seventh page of The
Weekly Times, under the heading of "Agricul-
tural," there appeared on April %, 1877, q dis
QUESTION on "the employment OF capital in agri-
culture" portions OF which the Labor Greenback
journals have repeatedly quoted as the "edtoral"
utterances of Tue Times. We have frequently
assured these organs that the editorial opinions Of
The Times are published unless specially marked
and quoted elsewhere, its fourth page, and that
rs little responsible for the views of our
correspondents about an impending change of
ownership in the soil, We are for the soundness
of their advice about washing sheep or growing
pumpkins. The once conservative State OF Maine
appears to have given birth to a peculiarly pesti
lent and impudent variety of the greenback news
paper. and though we hardly expect that the New
Era OF the Bangor tribune will admit our right to
know our own opinions and our own business, we
trust that this final explanation of the matter will
satisfy our friends of the wisdom of allowing such

Ambitious Shipments.

The ambition of Chicago is to open up
direct trade with Europe, and one
enterprising shipowner has undertaken
to CRAFTY it. He has fitted out the
schooner White Cloud for a voyage to
Marseilles by way of the Welland canal
and the St. Lawrence river. II he can
get an outward-bound cargo ga return
cargo of fruit is guaranteed" But he
wants to charge for cargo, principally
of alcohol, more than it would cost to
send 1t to Now York by rail and ship
1t thence to France. As a matter of To-
cal pride 1t is possible that the Chicago
shipbers may give him the rate per bar
rel that he asks. 1t will then be in or
der to announce with a flourish of tram
pets that Chicago had established direct
trade with Europe. This, however, is
not the first time that enterprising peo-
pie have made the attempt without the
success that would have warranted its
continuance. Moreover, in the present
case as In the past, "one swallow does
not m AXE q summer"
