A correspondent at Bryant's Pond
writes as follows: 'sAt the election,
Monday. the Greenback party threw
one-third as many votes as the two
old parties combined. The chairman
of the board we elected, or at least
the best end Of him. We should have
elected the whole bOard-the only
reason we did not was the lack of
v,t's! When we have another elec-
tion, we shall endeavor to elect both
ends ofour candidates. Still, we feel
satisfied, it being the first attempt,
and We are marching on with our
sharp-shooters, always ready to do
execution"
At Starks the Greenback party
made a clean sweep in electing the
town officers, to-day. The ballot for
first selectman stood as follows: 1.
L. Corsvn. (Greenhacker) l25; Hon.
Judge. Williams, Democrat and Re-
publican) 81. 1t is with no ordinary
degree of satisfaction and thanksgiv-
ing that we announce to your many
readers the great Greenback victory
in our town election. 1t shows that
during the past year the people have
been enlightened, and the result
shows that it is not decaying or
death struck party. but Il lively, Wig
orous and united organization, which
is to win victories in years to come
as grand and more decisive than the
one in our town has been. The vote
of to-day shows that the farmers are
determined to throw off the yoke of
bondage and assert their legal rights
in spite of all the moneyed monopo-
lies and their hirelings. Let us rejoice
over the great and important victory
not in the spirit of exultation at the
defeat of our political opponents, but
because of the triumph of principle.
The officers elected were: l. L.
Corson, Simon Tupper, NJ. w.
Fredric, Selectmen and Assessors;
John Greenleaf, Treas; G. W. Spin
ney, Supervisor Of Schools.

Paul Globe, for this startling an
nouncement:
The Republican situation in this
congressional district is growing in
teresting. Though DR.. Stewart is
entitled to denomination on the
general principle which is in vogue
among the Republicans, than he has
held but one term, he is going to have
a severe contest to obtain it. w. D..
Washbnrn is squarely in the field and
as the dark horse of the contest Alex.
Ramsey is said to be on the track. In
fact it is believed by some well posted
politicians that the contest for the
nomination will be between Ramsey
and Washburn, in which event Ram
sey will be likely to win. Ramsey,
as usual, disclaims being candidate,
but it is positively known that he is
setting up his pins in the district.
Gen. Averill is probably the only
Republican who can take the nomina-
tion away from Ramsey, but his CAN
didacy is uncertain. He is being
strongly urged to enter the lists, and
may be persuaded to do so. If he
should, both Washburn and Ramsey
might as we'll retire from the con-
test.

The southern newspapers are NUT
tering wrathful imprecations against
the men who have plunged the coun.
.ry into bankruptcy and ruin. AS a
sample utterance we give the follow.
ing from the Missouri J.Aersoniun
We are now on the eve of another
war, and such another as the world
never before witnessed, else Liberty
is gone forever; for, nothing so far
suggested by any parry, or any plan
of relief proposed for poverty
stricken people, can answer the pur-
pose.
The eastern politicians, with the
only exception Of Ben. Butler are
solid against any measure Of relief,
and even the Greenback Convention
assembled at Toledo the other day.
proposed no remedy that is applica-
bic to the demands Of reason or the
wants of mankind.
Therefore, the people must prepare
for state OF anarchy and war. else
they mus. sit quietly and silently
down and await the chains of slavery
and poverty that has been brought
about by the rascality of bondholders
and moneyed despots.
We trust matters have not reached
such desperate pass as is here sug-
gested. Minnesota at least, thanks
to her sparse population and large
crops, is infinitely better off than the
rest Of the nation. But there can be
no doubt that the country has been
previously misgoverned.

Wonders Will never cease.
Two years ago the Greenbackers in
their National Convention held at In
dianapolis, resolved in favor Of the
reconciliation of silver. The pr0p0-
siton was met with sneers and scOffilg.
Now silver Is remonetized, and Secre-
tary Sherman admits that he was mis-
taken in its effects. Gold has fallen,
bonds have risen and glimpse of
hope appears in the hearts Of the peO-
pie.
At that same convention the Green
hackers resolved that greenbacks
ought to be received in payment for
United States bonds and not be dis.
eliminated against.
And now after two years of suffer
ing, John Sherman, in an interview
with the Finance Committee of the
United States Senate, admits that this
should be done. lie says:
Senator Morrill, will now ask yon
this question. How can the policy Of
resumption be aided by congress!

newspaper clippings which illustrate
this:
A train of fifteen cars. containing a
large number of emigrantS from Wis
conSin, Iowa and Canada, together with
horses, cattle and household goods
belonging to these parties, leaves to-
day for Fishers Landing. Some of
these immigrants are destined for
Manitoba. though most of them will
settle in Minnesota and Dakota.
Trains are daily leaving this city on
all the roads leading to the west and
south, that in point of carrying Ca
pacity and general equipment would
do no discredit to any of the thickly

would have prophesied that such a

for Fishers Landing, would be a mat.

A canvass of a train returning

land hunters on board, who had 10.

Ninety passengers on Monday night

There was but one thing wanting
to our felicity: Liberty Hall did not
abuse us. We feared that his very
silence might be regarded as reflec-
ton upon our character; and when we
beheld him praising the leaders Of lhe
Book Ring in the House, and u,tering
not one word against ourself, we
trembled for the consequences to our
reputation as an honest man.
But happily that peril is now past.
Liberty seiZes moment in the midst
of his efforts to prevent the Grand Ju-
ry of Ramsey county from indicting
him, to call us by several endearing
epithets. He designates us as "the

lieved the grasshopper sufferings Of
Mr.. Brandt with a $4,000 greenback.
and he says we are "a notorious liar
and an Infamous slanderer 7"
We feel endorsed! Let no man
hereafter ever doubt us, since Liberty
has abused us.
And then lie says:
He says we did not. as might have
been expected, abandon our opposi-
ton to the bill after Mr.. Brandt had
displayed the $50 before the House;
but he did not think it expedient to

that after the committee Of investiga-
tion had been appointed he, the hon

to a friend Of ours, member of that
committee, to have the whole matter
