THE GREENBACKERs.-Theh heat had de-
pressing effect on the Greenbackers last night,
and but SO all told gathered in Congress Hall
to hear Mr.. Swan of Mechani, Falls. The
best thing about the meeting was the astonish-
ing amoant of money displayed by the orator,
he having in his possession samples of the
currency of this distracted republic, COM

q five dollar bill This unexpected display
goes far in contradiction Of the re-
port that the Greenback party treasury is
empty. Such richness is certainly pretty good

FEEDING INFANT5.-While Portland is agi-
tated over the Sunday question Biddeford is
discussing the proper mode of bringing up l
fants. The point in dispute is the number of
times day they should be fed. The contro.
versy originated in this way: Some time ago
child died there and rumor alleged that it had
starved to death. The story found its way into
the newspapers and of course the parents were
compelled to defend themselves. This they
did by publishing card In which they stated
that because of the excessive mortality among
infants, which many eminent physicians attri-
buted to over-feediug, they were lead to inaug-
urate the system of three meals a day, though
they increased the number to five subsequently
in Difference to public opinion. Perhaps they
reasoned like some of cur Sunday contributors.
A brute doesn't keep any Sunday, then why
should man. A calf is allowed generally to
eat but three times day, then why should an
infant be permitted more. While the child
lived the parents say it was marvel of COM
fort and perfect ease, and that it died of in1am-
nation of the bowels. The explanation doesn't
seem to have been satisfactory and ever since it
appeared there has been a bitter controversy
between the advocates of rival systems of in
FAINT feeding. The three mealers, and the five
mealers. those who believe in meals at all
fed every time it cries (probably because it
can't cry and eat at the same time) have all
had something to say and the end is not yet.
The general public have doubtless begun to
wish that this particular infant had never been
born or that it had been struck by lightning,
sunstruck or taken off in some way that could
not have given rise to dispute.
RECEPTION TO BISHOP HEALY.-At an early
hour last evening Kavanagh Hall was crowded
to witness the rece ion rendered to Rt. Rev.
James A. Healy by the st. Teresa Literary
Society. The programme consisted of French
and English addresses, a drama in three acts,
entitled "The Breton Cottage, or Mothers
Curse" vocal and instrumental music, recita-
tions, etc.. all of which were rendered in the
most satisfactory manner and ELECTED the
hearty applause of the audience. AT the close
of the entertainment the Rt Rev. Bishop
thanked the young ladies in behalf of the audi
ence for the very successful and interesting
manner ia which the programme was produced
and hoped they would continue in their literary

CalIeuder,s Minslrels.

The audience at the entertainment given by
Callender's Georgia Minstrels last evening
though of goodly number was not SO large as
the excellence of the programme and the ex-
tremely fine rendering Of it deserved. In the
management of the troupe Mr.. Calendar has
recognized the fact that the public will appre-
ciate good music as well as the threatbare
conundrums and vulgar gags Of the old time
burnt cork minstrels There was, of this last
element too much last evening, yet, the
splendid vocal music of Messrs. JOKES,
Devonear and Little compensated for the
hackneyed end men jokes Perhaps the best
feature of the programme last evening was the
quartette singing of the Hamptown Students,
SO good that the burlesque name seemed un-
necessary to secure recognition. Lyle's mper-
sonations were good, and of Tom Mcintosh
he has the grandest mouth that any endman,
blackEor white, has ever borught to this city.

A Religious Controversy in
Georgia.

The religious sensation 10 Georgia Is
the trial of Deacon Frank E. Block, OF
the Central Presbyterian church Law.
reuceville, for allowing some young
visitors to enjoy dance in bis parlol
on the 9th of December last.
MIR. Block was arraigned before the
elders of the church to answer q charge
Of having violated the laws of the b..
bic and of the church in permitting
round and square dances in bis house,
and was suspended from membership by
. vote Of four to three.
The deacon was not satisfied bowev-
er, to allow this decision to remain &
nal, and be appealed to the At.ant,
Presbytery.
The issue raised by the pleadings is;
First is dancing wrong per Sc &C.
cording to Biblical law, and, second, II
dancing entirely prohibited by the de.
liverances of the Presbyterian General
Assemblies, or are lascivious and pro
miscuous dances only forbiddent"
The defendant admits that be allow
ed and encouraged dancing on the 90.
casion in question, but asserts that the
dancing was neither promiscuous dor
lascivious in it's nature

Judge Lynch, of Western Kansas,
not only condems and hangs the un-
wary sinner, but pins an epitsph upon

week horses had been stolen the coun-

Nebraska, AMI the excitement in Belle
vile ran high. On April Odd DIR.
Hancock having lost team of horses,
called his neighbors to gcther and set
out on the trail, riding hard to over
take the thief On Swan Creek the
poor wretch was captured and then he
was taken to Jail. He pleaded guilty
and was committed for trial. At night
a mob broke into the Jail and carried
off the horse thief; and the next morn
ing he was found hanging upon a
butchers derrick half mile from town
On the back of the corpse was a card
with this grim epitaph: "'Tis said
man is the mobiles. work of God, but in
this case it was a failure. Horse
thieves beware! Take notice of your
doom. Shipped By lightning express
to a damned eternity"

IF taken into court, to answer a
charge, You would expect that the
natural right to prove your innocence
and bring a counter charge against
your informant would not for a mo
ment be denied you and if denied
YOU. the feeling could not be kept
down that the inherent rights that
belong to men should be resorted to,
to give protection. You could not
help declaring that the court that
would be so one-sided as to hear ey!-
dence only on one side, could be only
pretended court of justice, in which
to defeat the ends of justice herself
As with men, and district, and circuit
courts, SO with nations, States, and
parties. The Democrats In the
Lower House of Congress, under the
whip of such men as Blair and
Black. have been trying to play the
one-sided court, to set in Judgment
on the vote cast in the States of
Florida and Louisiana for President.
BY resolution they have decided that
the vote cast for Hayes in the States
mentioned shall be Investigated, but
that further than the Hayes vote in
those two States go, there shall be
no investigation. No fair man shrinks
from a fair Investigation, but the pro
posal for such unfair work is dis
honor to all concerned in it. Such a
proposal would not be made by the
dumbest and most obscure justice OF
the peace in the country. All efforts
that were made to induce the revolu-
tionists to give all parties charged
with unfair work chance to prove
and disprove the charges, were dis
regarded; and thus the world is wit
ness to a spectacle of parcel of
freemen deliberately voting to disre
gard the first principles of freedom
that every man is entitled to-a full
hearing an1 fair trial

We are at last informed of the Dem
ocratic programme. 1t is, after the

control Of the Senate and House, &C
refuse to recognize the Presiden.-te
decline to recognize the Vice President
as the presiding officer of the Senate,
and to seat the President pro TEN. oi
that body, who will be President of the
United States By virtue of President
Hayes ejectment. In no event, it Is
now believed by Democrats who are
constitutional lawyers, can Mr.. Tilden
reach the Presidency by the ejectment
Of Hayes. There will be a vacancy
created BY that act, which the Vice
President alone can fill Thus we have
the plan of revolution clearly and bold
ly laid down and announced ln the
meantime how about the election of a
new house n view OF this scheme TO
sntagonize the country, to sieze its
Government By fraud i'll one effort and
revolution in the other, the Democracy
calculate without their host. The elec
tion of 1878 will have some jurisdiction
IN this new movement, and the choice
of representatives to the next Congress
will, We have no doubt, frustrate the
plans Of the Democracy. The people
will have ample time to study the situ-
alton, and III the meantime the Repab-
lican minority in the House will resist
the initial step to this usurpation.-

Fiactuatlops OF wcalfff.

From the ST. LOUIS GlJbs-DemOcr2t.
10 1869 Edward Wuerpel was sp-
pointed Cashier Of the Peoples Saving
Institution, and gave bond in the sum
of $50, 600, with SIX sufeties, who
were considered among the most solid
men of the city. Three years ago
Wusrpel disappeared and with him 4
large amount of tie assets Of the bank
The bank was compelled to close, and
an assignee was appointed to wind up
its affairs. Suits we're instituted
against the securltie9 on their bond
and are still pending. Yesterday the
assignee presented . petition asking
permission to compromise with the
bondsmsn for the sum of $4,000, and
stating that it is extremely doubtful
whether even this small amount csu be
collected by legal process.
One of the bondsmen has gone
through bankruptcy, another has all his
property in his wife's name, two are ex-
ecution proof, and the rest are worth
nothing. Five years ago these bonds
men were considered worth over a mil
lion, and we're all active business men.
