gIse GreeRbacE Candidate for President
has Il spasm.
CHICAGO, July 2d.-General K B. Weaver,
tireenback candidate for President, has writ
ten letter of over column, in which he
expresses an intention of taking the stump in
behalf of his party. The letter is Chiefly an
elaboration of the Greenback platform at
Chicago; denunciatory of the Republican
and Democratic parties. especially the latter
promises great reforms under the Greenback
party rule: dwelis on the miserable state of
the nations finances, the grasping banking
and railroad corporations declares that the
Door laboring man and poor soldier have no
chance for advancement, and are fast retro
trading into yassalage asserts that the pub
lie debt Is being refunded to perpetuate the
tanking fraud, and grind the people to ruin
declares that emigrants from other shores
are left destitute and homeless here, because
she public domain is not sacredly preserved
fJr actual settlers. The only allusun to the
Chinese question is the following rather insig-
nifcant paragraph: THE emigration of per-
sons from foreign countries, seeking homes
and desiring TO become citizens of the United
States, should be encouraged, but the i'm
portation of Chinese servile laborers should
be prohibited by stringent laws.
Congressman Berry Mixed Up In sean.
dal.
WASHINGTON, July 2d.-The following dis
patch is said, on the authority of the Ereliag
Star, to have been sent to Pittsburg paper
"'There has been considerable talk here for
the past few days about another Congress
sional scandal that is in embryo. The mem
Der now charged by the woman with being
the father of her child is Representative
Berry, a Democrat in the California delega-
ton. The woman has employed counsel and
swears that she must have money to support
the child. The charges made against him
came 60 Berry's ear before he left for Califor-
mia. He promptly branded it as false, and
said the woman was a blackmaiier and that
he even did not know her."
The Campaign in Alabama.
NEW YoRK, July 2d-The T5ibune's
Montgomery (Ala.) dispatch reads: A few
days after the Chicago Convention, a Gar
field ratification meeting, held in this city, was
broken up by mob of Democrats, who at
tackled the speakers with rotten eggs Last
Saturday the Republicans of this city finally
succeeded in holding ratification meeting
under great difficulties. Before the meeting
began, Democratic roughs gathered about the
stand. Several rotten eggs were thrown, and
during the progress of the meeting the speak
ers were insulted in the most outrageous
manner.
Railroad Matters in sfexico.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Department
of State has just received dispatch from the
Minister Of the United States at the City of
Mexico, in relation to the projected railroads
in that Republic, which states that the sub
ject has lately seriously engaged the atten-
ton of the Mexican people and Congress,
and it cannot but correspondingly inter st
the capitalists of the United States, for they
will probably be called upon TO furnish the
means for these enterprises. The valuable
concession made to Camacho and Others in
1874, to construct a broad-gauge railroad and
telegraph line from the City of Mexico to
Leon. in Guanaiuato, was declared forfeited
in December 1876, by the supreme authority
of that State This contract. with enlarged
concessions. was transferred by the President
to Simon Il Co., April 3, 1850. Previously,
however, in November, 1877, w. j. Palmer
K Co had entered into an agreement with the
Minister of Public Works to huild net
work of narrow gauge roads from the City OF
Mexico to the Pacific on one side, and to the
frontier of the United States on the other.
Consequently, as the subject demanded
gress, its session, which has just
closed, has been agitated by the
respective claims of these two companies.
AS compromise the question of which shall
enjoy the right has been referred by Congress
TO the decision of the President of the Re-
public. The Mexican people, from being de-
aidedly opposed few years ago to the con-
sruction Of these railroads, are now most
earnestly in favor of them. Their construc-
an will cost many millions of dollars, much
L. which, as before mentioned, will probably
me from American sources. The following
oortant facts and suggestions are therefore
,.esented for the information of the people
Haaher Of the companies to which the con-
:Faet may be awarded will be entitled to a
s.lhsidy from the Government. The subsidy
20 Simon & Co. would be larger, better Sc
sxared and more onerous upon the Govern
trent than that of Palmer & Co, but whether
she subsidy will ever be paid-indeed,
szhetler the concession will be considered o
