EX-SENATOR M. c. HAMILTON of Texas
who was recently in Washington, spoke of
the people of the South as follows: "You
OF the North are the most unseeng men in
the world; you accept the loyal professions
OF the Southern leaders as genuine and
made in good faith. You are utterly de-
ceived. Not man of them has changed his
principles. Their change is in means and
tactics alone. If by the aid of the Northern
Democrats they can secure the control of
the government and.manage it about as they
would have governed the Confederacy, had
they succeeded, they will be loyal and re-
main in the Union. If they cannot they
will rebel again, and, as old as you are, you
will probably live to see it. You and your
people of the North are short-sighted and
blind in this matter to an extent that is per-
fectly amazing"

The Greenback Electoral Conven-
tiOnS

tions.
The Greenback State Convention held in
this city yesterday was troubled by dissen-
sions. The majority of its delegates ratified
the bargain made last summer and resolved
to support the Fusion electoral ticket. The
minority, headed by Solon Chase, resisted
this resolve; then withdrew and nominated
straight Weaver ticket. How many votes
the straight Greenbackers can command at
tie November election remains to be seem
The greater portion of the Greenback party
in this State came from the Democratic
ranks. Most if not all of these men will
vote for Hancock. They went into the new
movement with the purpose of getting control
OF its machinery in order to further the in
terests OF the National Democracy. They
have succeeded. The convention YESTERDAY
was really Hancock convention and ma
nipulated in his favor. With these original
Democrats will go not few Greenbackers
of Republican antecedents, who left their
old party with view to proft-not with an
eye to principle. They care nothing about
the currency question. They care much
about the spoils. The others, those whose
professed adherence to Greenbackism is a
thing of conviction, and not of policy mere
ly, who are fighting both the old parties and
favoring neither, will follow Solons Chase.
and stand aloof in the fight between the
old woman and the bear, Their number.
We are inclined to believe, is inconsderable.
They are the men who perceive that Fusion
leads directly to the Democratic camp and
destroys their political identity. Other pro-
fessed Greenbackers perceive this also, but
rejoice in it. Perhaps there may be others
who really believe they are promoting the
fortunes of Weaver and the organization of
which he is the nominal head but which he
does not lead, by aiding the election of Han
cock. But their sincerity will be gravely
questioned

ACCORDING to the Democratic press, the
Fourteenth Amen dment to the Constitution
effectually bars the payment of pensions to
rebels. Senator Edmunds, on the other
hand, says that a pension does not fall with
in the description of ''any debt or obliga-
ton" and is not within the prohibition of
the Fourteenth Amendment. The question
is, Who knows the Constitution best, Sena-
tor Edmunds or the Democratic editors? A
Democratic Congress, out of gratitude, could
vote pension to every man who followed
Lee and Jackson on the battlefield.

In Judge Tourgee's new book, The Invisi-

with instructions, the superintendent pre-

THE Situation

The indications are that Gen. Plaisted has
a small plurality; but the result is greatly
IN doubt and can only be settled, probably,
by the official count. In 80 close a contest
aud so large vote the very small per centage
OF errors in the telegraphic reports is sufi-
cient to turn the scale. The returns of
town clerks received at Augusta, are so in
complete that no estimates based upon them
are yet of value. Even those somi-official
returns, designed to give early information
to the people, will not settle an election
where score or two of votes more or less.

The Democrats continue to make much
ado over the Hancock Veterans and the
number of soldiers who will vote for
him. They forget that Mcclellan, who was
vastly more popular with the soldier element
than Hancock is and who was the personal
representative of the cry of "Give us back
our old Commander" received but little
mere than one-fourth of the soldiers vote
in 1854, while the rest went to Lincoln.

A Young Lndy's Terrtble Death.
Coolbaugh township, Luzerne county,
was the scene Of a shocking occurrence
last Thursday night, eliminating in
the death of Nellie Staples, daughter Of
Frederick Staples, of Scranton. She
was visiting at the house of her aunt,
Mrs. Warner, and the family, having
been lusy soapboiling, worked rather
late. Miss Staples assisted at the work,
and going too close to the furnace,
while engaged in playful chat with
Mrs. Warner, her clothing caught fire.
The terrified girl ran cut Of the house
with the flames all about her and her
cries attracted the attention Of the
neighbors. She seemed frantic with
pain and fear, and fed to the neigh
boring woods, followed by her aunt and
others. After an exciteing race, the
girl fell, utterly exhausted. Her means
were heartrsnding. Mrs. Warmers
clothing caught fire in the effort to save
her, and the devoted woman received
severe injuries. Miss Staples died soon
after she fell. She was burned to q
crisp on some portions Of her body.
