During an excursion from this city to
Niagara falls, and while at leveland,
an incident occurred which will never
be forgotten by those who heard of it.
The Kennord House, in that city, was
crowded when druggist OF Sihnhficld
street appeared late at night at the
hotel office and demanded bed. The
clerk replied that there were only two
vacant beds in the house lone wherein
was quartered a Pittsbur9 morning
newspaper mai, and the other room
wherein was d Pittsburgh evening
newspaper man, who were with the
excursion. "To tell the truth, they
are both pretty drunk, so you may take
your choice as to which room you will
sleep in.;' The druggist said that on
| general principles he would take his
chances with the evening newspaper
| journalist, as he would doubtless be SO
drunk that he woald lie dormantly
quiet all night. He went to bed and
was soon sound asleep. The journalist;
however, awakened about 12 o'clock,
AID, thinking it a long time between
drinks, dressed himself unconscieusly
ih the druggists clothes, and sailed out
to make night OF it. Ever and anon
he muttered, as lie treated all present,
Funniest thing l ever heard of
When went to bed last night | only
had % cents to my name, and now l've
got over 500, showing corpuleut roll
of bills; and Pm bound to spend every

for his failure to meet his obligations,
arose to speak. The subject for the
evening was, "What shall do to be
saved ?'' Commencing IN measured tones
he quoted the passage, "What shall I
do to be saved % Again, with in

JAcKsOS, Mss, Jan. :, 1880
The Greenback members Of the Legisla-
ture met in conference in the state House.
T. y. Davis was called to the chair, and S
y. Pollard requested to act as Secretary.
The following preamble and resolutions
were read and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Pres. and Leaders Of the
Democratic party seem much exercised
touching the propriety OF inviting the
members of the legislature, commonly
known a. Greenbackers, 10 the hDspitalltits
Of their legislative caucuses; some assu-
ming that our presence will demoralize the
party, Others, that il will infuse into their
organization progressive spirit Of reform,
and all acting with one accord upon the a.
sumption that our presence or absence is
entirely optiouary with them; and
WHEREAS, History furnishes abundant
examples Of such evidences Of organized
,elfsufiicency with the bcwildering attrac-
ton Of unfading glory; and
WHEREAS, 1t l. thought that such hon
or- when rendered by them cannot be de-
clined by any person endowed with rea-
sOnable degree OF ldeality; and
WHEREAS, It's is not usual in well reg
ulated societies to deny Inequalities I'M
asked, or to publicly discuss the proprety
Of extending the same, but when dore by
supreme authority has always been tolera-
ted, therefore
BE it reso'red, That we being fully iden-
tilted with our Democratic friends in all
that affects our social and political welfare,
and not believing that they have any de.
signs against the peace and dignity of the
State, and having assurances that our pOliti-
caI virtue is sufficiently strong TO success
fully resist any efforts Of theirs to thrust
upon US the high and lucrative Offices Of
the country, such for instance as that of L.
5. Senator, and being imbued with a love
Of generous hospitality, cordially invite
all Democratic members Of the Legislature
to seats in our Greenback conferences, who
are in good standing in their own party
and care in love and charity with their
ncighbors" and intend in good faith ia
abolish the National Banks, extinguish the
National Debt, reduce the Tariff repeal the
Internal Revenue Laws maintain and
increase our Trune Currency Of gold, silver
and paper, and protect the ballot box
against theft, violence and all other corrup-
ton, that each vote may possess the virtue
Of individual sovereignty, shining "like
apples Of gold in pictures Of silver"
Routrcd, That the Secretary Of this meet
ing is hereby directed to request the news
papers Of the city of Jackson irrespective
of color or previous conditionsof servitude, -
to publish these proceedings, that all Of our
said Democratic friends may be invited at
the same time, so that there shall be nc
