Missouri has her Harry White inst the
same as Pennsylvania. His name is John
T. Crisp, and he too is running for Con-
Eress. As Whites soul yearns for the
Consmaugh and the kiskiminetas, so
Crisp's heart bleeds for the Missouri, and
he says to the voters OF his district 'Elect
me to Congress and will make a channel
in that mighty stream twenty feet deep
from the Yellowstone to the mouth. aud

THE delegates to the Democratic State
Convention of Massachusetts who refused
to take part in Ben Buffers political circus
at Worcester, met at Faneuil Hail. in Bos-
ton, on last Wednesday week, and nnmina-
ted full State ticket, headed by Judge
Abbott for Governor. They have thus
asserted their own integrity and maintain
ed the regular organization Of their party,
which is far more important and infinitely
more honorable than any temporary success
they might have achieved under the lea
dership of political buccaneer like Butler.
We are fally prepared for the development
of some rich ard rare results in several
States at the November election, but we
will not conclude that the end of all earth
y things is about 20 happen, even if in the
boiling Of the political cauldron the hero
OF Fort Fisher should float to the surface
as the next Govern IT of the old Bay State.
He seems just now to have under his con-
troll some of the most powerful elements of
success, and that it IS SO is one of the
greatest wonders of tbe day. We are
aware that the political sins of the people
of Massachusetts have been great, and it
may be that in obedience to tie mysterious
ways of Providence they can only be suffi-
ciently atoned for by visitation of But
lerism in its worst and most aggravated
form.

F. p. devices, Chairman of the Green
back State Committee, and Francis w.
Hughes, the Gamaliel of the Greenback
party in this State, both reside in Potts
vile, and both of them having travelled ex.
tensively oveI the State since the com
mencement Of the present campaign, ought
to be able, from what they have seen and
heard, to form a reasonably intelligent
opinion OF the relative strength of the
thrce candidates for Governor-DTl, Hoyt
aud Mason. They are as wide apart, how
ever, as the north and south poles. When
Devices returns from 3he interior of the
State to the Girard House, in Philadelphia,
he does not hesitate to say that the contest
is between Dill and Mason, and that Hoyt
is practically out of ,he race. On the very
same day, Mr.. Hughes makes the state
ment to a newspaper reporter in the oil re-
giOn, that either Hoyt or Mason will be
elected, and that Dill will be distanced,
coming out the hiudmost of the three
We have here a very remarkable difference
Of opinion between two Greenback leaders,
whose opportunities for obtaining reliable
information have been precisely the same,
and the conclusion is irresistible that the
estimate of neither of them is worth a row
of pins. No two intelligent Democrats,
nor any two intelligent Republicans in the
State, would express opinions so directly
in conflict with each other. Last year,
Devices, who was then as now the official
head of his party, predicted Greenback
vote in Philadelphia of at least thirty
thousand, whereas il was only little over
fire thousand, while Hughes claimed one
hundred and fifty thousand in the State,
and only got one third of it. As prophets
they labor under the same disability that
Cassandra did at the siege of Troy.

LiLIy's Lie Nailed and Ctinched

Two years ago last March, William Lilly,
I Of Washington, was examined as witness
before the House Judiciary Committee,
then investigatinga charge against Charles
! Hayes. a member from Alabama, OF haV-
/ ing received several hundred dollars Tor
! appointing a young man named Beardsler,
/ from New York, to a Cadetship at West
/ Point. One Of Lilly's specialiiies was that
/ of buv;ng Cadetships from members OF the
! House, and he was to swear the charge
! against Hayes through before the COM
mittee In the course Of his testimony be
| stated that about twelve years before that
he had paid A. II. CoffrOth, then mem
Der. sir eight or nine hundred dollars to
appoint young man to the Naval Ac-
cademy at Annapolis that he had received
81, 200 from the young mans friends with
hich to purchase the appointment that
be never saw the young man; that he
could not tell his name, but that he resided
in New York, or in it's vicinity. The
editor OF the Johnstown Tribune rolled
this story of Lilly's under his tongue as a
sweet Dorsel, and scattered several thOus-
sand copies Of his paper containing it
throughout this Congressional district, in
order to injure Gen. Coffroth aud defeat
his election. The name of the naval cadet
appointed by Gen. Coffroth was Edward
J. Berwind, who then resided at Saxton,
in Bedford county, and gentleman named
John Fulton, then also living in Saxton,
but now a resident of JoEnstown, gave
him ,Berwind) a letter of introduction to
Gen. Coffroth, urging his appointment,
and it was made. We now ask any honest
man TO turn to another part of our paper
and read the letters from Edward j. Ber-
wind aud his brother, Charles F. BeIwind,
to Dir. Fulton, in reference to this matter,
and then tell us what they think Of Lilly
and his sponsor, the Johnstown Tribune.
We knew and said it was a lie at the very
outset, and both the Berwinds show that
it is without shadow of foundation. And
thus has this balloon of Lilly's, inflated
with perjury, when pricked with the pin
Of truth, collapsed and fallen fiat to the
earth. OF course we do not expect that
the Tribune will retract the libel, its editor
no. being a man of that kind, but look for
him to reaffirm it as it suits him from now
until the election. He delights in such
low arts, and in the work of defaming a
political opponent knows no such word as
fail. But it is now harmless for mischief,
and having, like spurious coin, been nailed
to the counter, there it will remain.

ON Tuesday next the election in Ohio,
Indiana and Iowa will take place. Con-
gressmen EiIl be elected in each State,
while in the two latter States members of
the Legislature will also be elected. AS
the Greenback party is in the contest fully
squipped with its candidates, we will not
attempt to express an opinion as to the re-
suits. At best it would only be a mere
guess. Whatever may be the complexion
OF the Legislature in Indiana, it is admit
tel that Daniel w. voorhees, has made the
most brilliant campaign ever known in that
S'Ate, and that as a stump speaker he
stands unrivalled in the great West, which
has produced So many we'll known men of
that type. He has IabOred both night aud
day-has addressed over seventy-five mass
meetings, as we'll as numerous township
meetings in close couuties-and if he does
not win success, he has shown that he en-
ineutly deserves it. The race, however,

THE veuomous assaults of the Johnstown
7-iBune in its weekly edition upon Gen.
Coffroth are growing small by degrees and
beautifully less. 1t commenced three
weeks ago with a broadsde of almost
eighteen columns but was only able last
Friday to- furnish an instaIlment of three.
II its editor perseveres in repeating his
charges, it may be that eventually he will
believe in them himself, for some men are
- peculiarly constituted as to esteem lie
we'll stuck to as good as the truth. How
many votes the Tribune will succeed in
making for Coffroth is question which
the Republicans in this section of the
county are just now anxiously discussing.
i. certainly will not drive any votes away
from him, for as an old and knowing negro
in GreenvilIe, South Carolina, said TO a

TRAVELLERS TO NEW YORK will be glad to
notice the re-opening Of the providence Line"
of steamers, on April 20, as announced in our
Paper to-day. For many reasons this line proved
etvedy popular last season. The steamers are
really magnificent, with dining rooms on the
main deck, and offer delightful sail through the
beautiful Nsrragansett Bay by daylight. There
are but AZ miles of railroad travel from Boston to
Providence, and no intermediate landings between
that point and New York. Tickets and State
Rooms, by this favorite line, can be had at the
Compsnys office. pa Washington Street, Boston !;
or at Boston and Providence Railroad Station in
that city.
