THE GREENBACK LUNATICs. -tDanville
Register.-A greenback movement has been
started in Mecklenburg county. On last
court-day a meeting was held at Boydton
and string Of resolutions was adopted,
which went as far for paper currency as the
EXTREMIST greenbacker Of the West could
desire. We should have taken the pro-
ceedings to be burlesque had there not
been unmistakable signs of sincerity and
earnestness on their face. The resolutions
propose, among other things, that the re-
sumption act be.repealed; that the banking
system be discontinued; that the Govern
ment issue not less than fifty dollars
per capita of population in greenbacks,
which would be equivalent to two thousand
millions Of dollars, and distribute among
the States five hundred millions OF dollars.

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

A FEARFUL explosion occurred in Evans's
colliery, near st. Helen's, Lancashire. Three
hundred persons reported killed.
A GALVESTON Nesrs special from Eagle
Pass says: News from the other side
states that General Escobedo attacked a
paymaster's train from Monterey to Piedras
Megrass, but was beaten off. No casualties
are reported. Escobedo is now eneamped
near Piedras Megras, organizing strong
force and preparing for more formidable
operations.

POLITICAL ASSASSINATION.

When the news of the assassination of
President Lincoln reached Europe, says
the New York Commercial, it caused the
greatest surprise, for European states
men and ordinary people thought there
was no depth in the hatred of Southern
ers against Northerners. Americans
are liable to fall into a similar error Of
Judgment when they hear of a second
attempt made against the life of EN-
peror Wilhelm. 1t is not yet ascertained
in this case, as in that of Kullman and
Hoedel, whether the assassin's arm was
directed by clerical, Socialistic, or Par
ticularist tendencies. There are indica-
tions, indeed, pointing in all these direc-
tions at the same time. Hoedel was a
peddler for the so-called "Christian
Socialists Kullman had always been
under the control of ultramontane
priests, and finally, copies of the Ger
mania, the clerical German paper, were
found in the pockets of the assassin
DIR. Modelling. Moreover, every one Of
the three latest political would be muir
derers in Germany was more or les:
connected with Socialism, and hence the
difficulty of exactly determining the
cause which turned them into awfu
criminals. Let us observe, however
that a third point of view has beer
completely overlooked in the search o.
the motives for the conduct of Kullman
Hoedel and MODELLING. 1t has been for
gotten that not one of these men was |
Prussian, but Bavarian or Saxon; tina
is to say, they belonged to States form
erly sovereign, which have been de
prived of their independent and "par
ticular" rights by Prussia. The muco
beloved Emperor William may hav
paid, or may be called to pay, as to
often happens, for the exaggeration
written in governmental newspapers b.
people who have not so much to lose a
the Kaiser, or by the ferocity of IRE
sponsible judges, whose lives or propert
will never be in danger, but who, as i
the case just reported in regard to tn
famous Russian lady, Vera Sassoulitcf
carelessly increase the dangers of Cza
Alexander III.
