A GREENBACK TICKET IN VERMONT
G. {. MARTIN FOR GOVERNOR.

IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBOSE.l
ST. AIBANs, VT, Aug. 22.-The National Green
back State Convention assembled here this morn
ing for the purpose ofnominating State ticket
committee of one from each county was elected to
present State ticket. At the afternoon session
General Horace b. Sargent was introduced and adj
dressed the convention. The Committee on Nom
nations reported as follows:
For Gorernor-C. c. Martin, of Ferrysburg
Iieutendnt- 6 OranOr-J. w. Currier, of Troy.
TroasmeT-Fletcher 1Orbee, Of Swanton.
Mr. Martin accepted the nomination for Governor
in a brief speech. He said he believes in honest
money and equal taxation, therefore he is Green
hacker Other brief speeches were made and minor
details arranged and the convention adjourned.
The following is the concluding part OF General
Sargent's speech:
u we do not remedy the present condition OF things
we shall have lost "A republic. II We prevent WORKING
men from setting homesteads and legsate solely for
the bOndhOder, the musket ana bayOnet VIII ONerlnIoW

candidate of the Nationals. 1t is possible that he
may unite the Republicans, the American Alliance,
and the Workingmen's parties in his support. This
district is composed of the Parishes of ST. James,
st. Charles st. Johns and Jefferson, and the north
ern portion of the City of New-Orleans. The four
parishes are Enthusiastically Republican by large
majOrities, the population being almost entirely
cOlored. II the movement for q union Of the sew
eral factions which have fallen away from the
Democracy with the Republicans is successful the
election of Judge Cullom will be rendered almost
certain.
One feature of the political situation in Louisiana,
however. which involves the whole question of sue
cess or defeat gives reasons for grave apprehen-
sions. The state of terrorism into which the coored
voters were plunged during the recent years of vio-
ence and boOdshed still exists and it will require
the strenuous exertiOns of all those who are opposed
to the Democracy to reassure the cOlOred Republi-
sufficiently to get them up to the polls ON cleo
ton day. The Democrats in the parishes appreciate
this fact and there recent indications that syste
matte efforts will be attempted in order to main
tain and even increase the present state OF
alarm. The hanging of four negro prisoners Oy
mob in the Parish of Monroe on the 3lst oil jury
was an effort in this direction. Two OF the pflsOh-
eTs had already been tried and were aWaltlng seE-
tence; the others were awaiting trial. They were
in safe custody, and there was not the shghtesJI
reason in the world for suspicion that they would
not meet their Just deserts. Yet, as reminder OF
darker days, a mob of nght-riders from another
parish came into Monroe and hanged all the prls-
oners. Another case of mob law occurred on
the LIST day of July in Point Cou-
pee. DR.. Archer, practising physician, and
bitter Democrat claims that while riding home one
night some one shot at him from out of the swamp
through which his road lay. DR.. Archer, as the
story is told rode into the village and reported the
fact. crowd was gathered, and hye colored men,
whom DIR. Archer named, were hunted up, seized,
and hanged without trial or wellfounded suspi-
ciOn of guilt.
These two instances of mob law were gwen by the
gentleman referred 10 above in illustration of the
plan of operations which, Republican residents are
convinced the Democrats intend TO pursue In order
70 show colored men that their old masters still
have the power and will TO do any deed OF violence
necessary TO effect their purposes.
