Cinct, city, town, county, Congressional
district and State organizations for
the same end. We also invite all Green
back and labor clubs, by whomsoeyer
organized and chartered, to place them
selves in communication with their re-
spectiye county and State organizations,
through them with the headquarters
Of the National Executive Committee at
Washington, ID. G. We earnestly cau-
ton suffering against all who seek TO in
spire 10 disloyal acts, or even threats
The treason would be madness,
because the ballots are IN
our hands. The administration is
what the votes of the people have
made it and within two years they can
change il by the same peaceful process.
We seek relief only through the ballot.
The future is full OF hope. Our party
has gained more than a million votes IN
the last year and we are assured from all
parts OF the nation that the momentum
which gave us that unparalleled adj
vance is so increasing AS to make success
in 1880 certain. Therefore let not the
suffering yield to despair nor the justly
indignant resort to violence.

WASHINGTON, February -. - The
danger OF an extra session Oi Congress
grows beautifully less, AMI now all
serious apprehension Of there being one
has been allaycd. The passage OF the
Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill by the
House to-day, under n suspension OF the
rules, leaves the Legislative Bill the
only appropriation bin yet 10 be- dis
posed OF by the House. The Senate
also disposed OF the Army Bill, which
puts il in readiness to 20 ahead with the
Legislative Bill wheu the House gets
through with it. The difference he
tween the two Houses on the Internal
Revenue Bill, it is thought, will be
reconcilcd by the South reccding from
the section with reference Ia reCtiiiers,
the House yielding the point with rc-
spCCt 10 matches, and a new section
less sweeping, being substituted with
reference To the tax on savings banks
and banks of deposit. There Is no pos
sibility OF any Of the railroad schemes
being acted on. The Texas Pacific Sub
sidy will not even get consideration III
tho House. The Brazilian Mail Subsidy
may get through the House, hut If II
does, it will he u close vote. -S-.-
