MeetinE of the Greemback Members
Of the Legislature.
JACKSON. MISS. LIN Z

JACKSON, MISS, Jan. 7.
The Grecnback members of the
Legislature met in conference in the
Statchouse. Senator Davis was call
cd to the chair, and S. ID. Pollard was
requested to act as Secretary.
The following preamble and resolu-
lions woro read and unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, the press, and leaders of
the Democratic party, seem much ex-
ercised touching the propriety of in
viting the members of the Legislature,
commonly known as Greenbackers,
to the Inequalities of their Legislative
caucuses; some assuming that our
presence will demoralize the party;
others, that it will infuse into their
organization progressive spirit of
reform, and all acting with one accord
upon the assumption that our presence
or absence is entirely optionary with
them, and,
WHEREAS, history furnishes abund-
ant examples of such evidences of |
organized self-sutliciency with the
bewildering attraction of unfadcd
glory; and,
WHEREAS, it is thought that such
honors when rendered by them can
not be declined by any person en-
lowed with Il reasonable degree of
ideatity, and,
WHEREAS, it is not usual in we'll
regulated societies, to deny hospital
tiles unasked, or to publicly discuss
The propriety of extending the same,
but when done by supreme authority
has always been tolerated Therefore,
BE it resolved, That we being
ully identified with our. DEM
'cratic friends, in all that
Effects our social and political |
Welfare, and not believing that they ,
ave any designs against the peace
md dignity of the State, and having
ssurance that our political virtue is !
efficiently strong to successfully re- /
list any efforts of theirs to thrust t
pon us the high and lucrative offices /
f the country. Such, for instance, as Il
hat of United States Senator; and =
eing imbued with the love of u gem e
rous hospitality, cordially invite all u
members of the Legisla-
Ire to seats in our Greenback confer a
'rences who are in good standing
| their own party, and "are in love O
nd charity with their neighbors," y
nd intend in good faith, to abolish IL
he national banks, eXtinguish the
ltional debt, reduce the tariff, repeal pi
e internal revenue laws, maintain u
I'd increase our triune currency of is
I'd, silver and paper, and protect the hi
Hot box against theft, violence and j.
other corruption, that each vote Sc

would do well to follow such suggestions

CONTRACT CLOSED AND THE ROAD TO BE RI
MING IN FOURTEEN MONTHS.

CONTRACT CLOSED AND THE ROAD TO BE RUN
MING IN FOURTEEN MONTHS.
Last Tuesday there was closed at Estill-
Vile contract that secures the speedy CON-
pleton Of the Bristol Coal and Iron Mar
row. Gauge railroad from this point TO Big
Stone gap. The Pittsburgh Company, rep
resented by General Imboden, undertake
all OF 1t which the Narrow.tiauge Company
are unable to do. The onsequences OF this
movement will be so grand In their devel-
opment, not only OF Bristol but OF South
west Virginia and East Tennessee, that one
having the points In his possession can
scarcely contemplate anything else. The
salient points OF the contract are these:
The Bristol Coal aud Iron Narrow.Gauge
Company agree to furnish the right OF way,
and the engineering for the entire line Of
sixty.one miles, and to complete the grading
as far as Speer's Ferry, at Ciinch river, dis
tant forty miles from Bristol. The Pitts
burgh Company agree to complete the grad.
ing 10 Big Stone Gap, and to do all the ma.
sonry, trestling, bridging, to put down the
ties and rails, and 10 equip the road with
four trains Mt once. These are all to be done
and the road In operation against October,
1881. As soon rs the grading reaches EstilI.
vile they are to put on two daily trains.
The Goth Of next month they are to COM
mence the bridge across the North Fork Of
Holston, near MENDOZA, and to press it to
completion. The rails will be OF steel,
thirty-dve pounds per yard. The ties will
be Of the best quality, and the road capable
Of the highest grade Of service. In the mean
time the coal and iron mines at the Gap
will be opened and connected by tramways,
so that q powerful tonnage will be thrown
upon the road at once on Its complexion

Archbishop PurceIT's Debts.
HIS CREDITORS PREPARING TO SEND A PETITIo
TO ROME FOR PAPAL AID.

HIS GRE D1T0RS PREPARING TO SEND A PETITION
TO ROME FOR PAPAL AID.
A special dispatch from Cincinnati, o.,
says: The creditors OF Archbishop Purcell
have called meeting to prepare statement
of their grievances TO send to Rome, With
the hope OF interesting the Pope in behalf
of the diocesan debt OF S3,500,000.
They maintain that the Pope has con-
troll Of the large revenue coming to him
as Peters pence, or IN the shape OF
heavy contributions, from all parts OF the
world. A great proportion OF this
money goes 10 the support OF foreign mis-
sions and the maintenance OF new churches
and charitable institutions. Still they say
he receives private donations and personal
gifts nearly every day from the faithful,
and thus he is enabled TO contribute TO diff
ferent charities. The late Pope Plus TX.
left very large personal estate, amounting
to several million dollars in value, though
be was generous almost to the extreme.
They Judge from these facts that the present
Pope might, il so inclined, do great
deal toward the alienation OF the finan-
cial suffering in bis diocese. He has para
mount influence over the Catholic poten-
tates Of Europe, and in an urgent case like
the present might, they say, easily persuade
them TO contribute, and thus remove what
has generally appeared to be serious blot
on The fair name OF the Church. Bishop
Elder finds so many other things to engage
his attention In the diocese that he seems
unable TO do anything to pay of the great
debt. At least, he Is not disposed to move
until the question OF liability Of the Church
property Is settled in the courts.
