 The Conn. Catholic gives extracts from a re- cent pamphlet by Lady Wilde on the "Amer- ican Irish" Probably no class of emigrants come to this country with so thorough dis like of monarchical government as the Irish. It is pleasant. also, to see that the liberal treatment of foreigners on their arrival here is appreciated by them. Says Lady Wilde: p
 It is singular that the Irish may live for years in England, yet they never acquire the English manner-calm, grave and self posses. sed nor the English habits of order and rou. tine nor even the English accent-while in America they rapidly become Americanized, bold in speech, audacious in enterprise self asserting in manner, and above all, republican in sentiment. No Irishman returns from America loyal to monarchy. On the contrary he laughs to scorn the old bonds of servile leu dalism, with all it's superstitions of class worship; and his opinions soon gain many fol. lowers a The American flag holds the place of honor at all popular demonstrations in Ireland, and is always greeted with enthusiastic cheers, while the flag of England is nowhere seen."

THE HOPEFUL GREENBACRFRS.

The Greenback party in the new Congress
has not yet perfected its census, but its
leaders-and in this tenn the whole party is
included-are still confident of holding the
balance of power; and with them that means
the power itself. There is, and has been
from the start. something exceedingly en-
tertaining in the plans and purposes
of these gentlemen, and the confident
air with which they put forth their pro-
grammes. Never did SO few people succeed
in making so much of themselves. Ever since
they achieved their great success in Maine in
September last they have carried themselves
as though they had both parties and the coun-
try already between finger and thumb. The
month of September, 1873, with its Maine
victory and the capture of the Massachusetts
Democratic Convention by General Butler, was
all their own. They proceeded to forecast
the future by the past, and, upon cOmputa-
tons on the basis of Maine, to calculate on
carrying the next Congress and elcctng
the next President. For few weeks they
had things pretty much their own way.
The leaders looked wise and talked conf
dently. aud old party managers began to
be timid, to dlstrust their own figures,
and to talk great deal about the new
factor IN the political problem that dis
turbed all calculations. That was n
very brief experience. Before the first Octo-
Der election the party had eliminated, and by
November it was fairly discounted. The wave
began to recede and though the loud and
active leaders kept up their bluster and
maintained their confidence, everybody else
saw that it certainly had no future, and that
it was very doubtful if there would be enough
of theparty in the XLVIth Congress to make
an independent organization. TO say nothing
of controlling affairs as balance of power.
Resumption IN January finished the business.
But the leaders who have been elected to
Congress manage to keep up the show of a
political force, notwithstanding With the be-
ginning of the late short session of Congress-
they met at Wasbington-that is, Murch of
Maine, and De La Matyr, of Indiana, did,
and there may have been others-to take steps
TO organize the party for the coming Congress,
and conclude arrangements for dividing the
official spoils with their natural alhes the
Democrats. For the past three months they
have been counting largely, and of course
with absolute confidence, upon having
strength enough in the House to compel the
Democrats to come to their terms, and they
have conducted themselves like statesmen
upon whom rested tremendous responsibilities
Mr.. De La Matyr's journeyings and Mr..
Murch's utterances have been recorded with
circumstance and detail, and both have car
ried themselves as undisputed heads of a

II NAV he judicious sometimes, amid so much
talk of retrenchment in the schools, to con-
slider some of the arguments advanced in the
effort to reduce teachers salaries. That one

generally are lowered that it doesn't cost SO
much to live as 1t did ten years ago, and that
therefore teachers should be content TO go
back to their former receipts. This theOsy, which
may be proper enough when applied to other
trades, does not fit with that Of the teacher who
was paid starvation prices before tile war. HIS
