POLITICAL NOTES.
FROM EXCHANGES.

The Greenback authorities of Mis-
souri, are discouraged at discovering
il their State treasury a worthless
bank check for S296,OO0, which the
treasurer has for years been carrying
forward as cash on hand. Why, isn't
it all right, according to greenback
reasoning, The check is in regular
form throughout, and is irredeema-
bic. What more do they ask for p
LoweH Courier.
From South Carolina Orator.
Each of you represents 5000 ;
you would have brought that sum in
1860. You were freed without our
consent, and now, if you will vote
the Democratic ticket, we will make
the Yankees pay for you, and then
we will give you half the money.
There stands old Uncle jim. He has
wife and eight children, for which
the North will have to pay me $4,000,
one-half Of which 1 viii give him,
and tie balance l will keep. Then
he viii be independent, and not de-
pendent upon the cold charities of
the world This, my dear colored
friends, is a practical solution of the
forty acres and a mule question, and
you will some day be lifted from your
poverty by your old masters. Only
vote the Democratic ticket, and we
will soon be Independent of the con-
temptible Yankees"
kearney got five dollars in his col
lection at st. Louis. 1t looks as
though he would have to discharge
his private secretary.
"Men who are simply demagogues
can never be consistent They are
as fickel as the wind and unstable as
water. The Republican party has
given the country a circulating me-
dunn unsurpassed for it's safety and
accommodation the peoples wants.
That party is the author of the green
back circulation. When it proposed
this circulation. which was then an
in the national struggle for
many of the men who
would now ride into power on the
greenback hobby, most bitterly an
it. Frank Hughes, the
greenback leader in Pennsylvania,
and who hopes to get into the United
