The action. of the Greenback conven-
ton, held in Marion, the other day, indi-

the circuit, as shown by the election last
fall. is 3,443. The determination Of the
convention to consolidate that vote as nearly
as may be upon the candidates named,

them by majority OF 1000 votes.
About one or two o'clock yesterday
morning several shots we're fired in rapid
succession in the vicinity of Swoboda &
Schultz's "Sharp corners" Officers Cain
and Duncker promptly repairing to the
spot, and seeing no one abroad, concluded
that the firing was nothing more than
warm greeting extended to the feline vo
calsts of that neighborhood, that are gu
every night and all night, sixty and sevent,
