got scooped.
AtConshoshocken, Penn, the Greenback-
ers did. well--about 40 majority is the well
did they did.
PLAINS, Luzerne county, Penn, elected
entire Greenback ticket against the COM
bined old parties. That's the way to do
it.
IT is the mountain pass, now held by
the Greenback army, which the enemy
will attempt to force on his march of in.
vasion to other and more distant fields in
1880.
SPRTNGroRT, Cayuga county, Now York,
distributed its votes on supervisor as fol-
lows: Greenback, go; Republican, l2G;
Democrat, ILL., The old parties had bet,
ter unite.
l'PAETA went Greenback two to one.
Dead, did you say? Sunlmerhlll did the
same. What is this patent method Of
bringing dead parties to life? Hardware
has the floor for personal explanation.
The National Greenback Labor party
elected its entire ticket at Girardvllle,
Pennsylvania last week. Joseph D. Davis
was chosen burgess. The old parties
tried to upset the ticket by stirring up the
distinction ofnationalities, but failed.
Like teeth for children, or wings for
birds, nature never permits genius to con-
struct until man is ripe for the product.
The combined labor Of man with all tine
improved machinery ever invented are not
able to produce more than the race would
ho glad to consume, were the facilities
and means of distribution as ample as
those of production.
ONE Of the chief contests over the sen.
ate committee is the attempt of western
Democrats to make the committee on
finance soft money. They agree that
Bayard must be made chairman, but they
desire to reduce the number Of Republi-
cans one below the former number OF
Democrats and so leave room for one
more soft money man to offset Bayard' S

be welcomed in Wall street, but who car

cluntry'Generally? The D.cd Scott de-
cision precipitated the downfall of slavery
nnd the extinction of twenty-five hundred
millions of dollars worth of the slave
property which the court bad invested
with extra constitutional sanctity. The
money lenders, and the banking interests
and the capitalists generally may perhaps
on reflection, understand that judicial de
cislons do not always succeed in taking
matters out of politics.
