The Boston Advertiser, which was fear
full of the result in Maine at the opening oil
the canvass, has been looking the ground
over little more carefully, and now says;
1T is evident that there has been a revival
of Republican interest TO an extent that TAR
ly surprises the managers of the canvass
The meetings, of which many are held IN
various parts of the State, are attended ny
large crowds, and the speakers are well re-
ceived. These are not the only significant
facts in regard to the Republican meetings
Last year the assemblies were frequently in
terrupted by Greenbackers, who had learned
from the club organizers a few catch phrases,
and fancied themselves masters of the whole
sy stem of finance. This aggressvenesS has
wholly disappeared, not from lack OF dis
position to interrupt, but because there is
nothing to say. The Republicanshavem made
large and valuable gains in the shape OF re-
converted Republicans. They come openly
by scores in some towns, and in others,

The New York Tribune published the
other day summary of the bills introduced
in the House of Representatives by the
Greenbackers durin. the last session of Con
gress. The list is too long for our columns
They were for increasing the fractional cur
rency, for payment Of the public debt in
greenbacks; for rclremng the trade dollars
in greenbacks for paying municipal in
debtedness, and other schemes of initiation.
Had all of them become laws, the amount of
new greenbacks demanded would have been
50. 4G5, 600. 600 Add the existing volume.

of II, 1879, sol 9g4. The largest amount Of
paper currency ever outstanding in this coun-
try was $685., 3ls, Gsj in 1865. at the close of
the civil war. Now, in time of profound
peace, and when money is so abundant that
employment cannot be found for it, the
Greenhackers wanted to augment the volume
10 more than four times that sum. In order
to get this enormous mass of paper notes into
circulation one Of Mr.. DE La Matvr's bills
provides that it shall he loaned out to various
improvement companies or corporations ON
bonds running for fifty years. at first with
out interest, hut after five years at two per
cent! These people never stop 10 consider
what an irredccmablr paper dollar would be-
worth 10y the time they had got one-half of
the contemplated four billions into the hands
of the people. But everybody who has given
any attention To financial history and science
knows that initiation Of the sort desired by
Nr. DE La Matyr and his fellow lunatics
means depreciation. Before one billion of
the new grccnback currency could be put in
circulation it would require 500 Of it to Der
form the functions which : performs now.
There never was so little need of Green
back party as now. Currency is plenty, am
pie for all needs of business. \ paper dollar
is as good as a gold one, and better than a
silver one. The woIkingman's dollar will
buy more that he needs than before the war.
Greenbacks, being as good as gold, are re-
ceived for duties. All that is needed is to
let the currency alone and the financial
question will soon settle itself

GEENAS sULLDOZING OF AMERICAN CITIZENS
Az EFFECTUAL PROTEST.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Carl Gerhard
Boissellier, native OF Germany, became an
American citizen in 1siS and had two sons
born in st. Louis. While the boys were
minors the father took them to Germany but
before they came of age the sons returned TO
St. Louis where they ever since resided
For the last three years the father has been
subjected to various annoyances by the local
authorities of Germany because of the re-
fusal of the young men to report
themselves for enrolment in the German
army. The annoyances assumed the shape
OF threats OF prosecution, the imposition OF
penalties under the German military law and
their enforcement against the property OF
BOissellier in Germany These proceedings
eliminated in process served upon the
father stating that unless the sons should
appear in court on the 2d of July, 1873 they
would he prosecuted under the penal laws OF
of Germany and certain property OF the
father would be contiscated. Secretary
Evarts instructed the minister at Berlin TO
bring this subject to the attention of the
Imperial Government and express in strong
terms the desire of the American Govern
ment that any proceedings in regard 10 the
property of the father OF the two brothers
based upon their refusal to submit to the de-
mand for military service might at once be
put an end to. The result of the emphatic
and decisive action by Secretary Evarts was
a decision in favor of Boissellier
