Grcenbackers I'm Consultation.

Grcenbacke in Consultation.
New YORK, February "a.
Nearly all the G~reenbackers elected to
the next House are in Washington, in con-
sultation. They expect to number about
20, which will be the balance OF power.
According to the present programme, they
will nominate one of their own number as
a candidate for Speaker, and will vote for
him to the bitter end. He can, of course,
only be defeated by a breaking up, in a
measure, of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties and, in any event, they say
the result means success for the National
party here.
The "World's'' correspondent says that
the Greenbackers count up their members
by including Wright, Of Pennsylvania,
Allen, and others, who are sure to remain
with the Democracy. Besides the action
OF the House, showing a large falling OF In
the anti-resumption vote, has dampened
the Greenback ardor not a little.
Archbishop PurceII's Troubles.
CINCINNATI, February "a.
The financial troubles of Archbishop
Purcell appear to increase by late develop
ments. TIL Trustees appointed some time
since to receive and audit claims, decline
to make public a statement of the amount
already fled but at a recent meeting of
the clergy, at which the Archbishop pre-
sided, he stated that claims had already
been filed amounting to 50, 100000. All
schemes for his relief having apparently
failed, an effort will be made by a commit
tee of Roman Catholic clergy to have the
State laws modified, so that a lottery
scheme will be ~inaugurated for his relief.
Their success, however, is considered
doubtful. The Irish Catholics also COM
plain that no relief has been rendered the
Archbishop from the German churches,
while the latter ask that a full statement of
his wants be made public first.
