The fifth annual entertain

ateur Dramatic Association, at
Firemcn's Hall, on Thursday
evening last, was pronounced
success whether we regard it in
the dramatic talent cvinccd by
the several ladies and gentle
men in the east, or by the large
and brilliant audience which
did honor to the occasion. Ba-
keTs four act drama, "Better
than Cold" was rendered with
strong effect, the several char
actcrs being sustained Withmorc
than usual evidences Ct careful
study and correct interpret;,-
ton. \ song by Mr.. G. Brown
and Miss julia COIN elicitrd
warm appreciation, and appear
ed, as is il were, u brilliant jew
ell, set amid the cluster Of gems
offered Upon the occasion. For
the want OF time and space we
are unable to do The Justice to
the Association and 10 the in
diyidlalmcmbcrS thereof which
their very mcritoriOus perform
mco really deserves, Success,

WARRINGTON, December 2s. = The
Greenback party expects to be . party oi
prominence in the next Congress. Ia
members have heretofore never held well
together. The Greenbsckers OF Demo-
cratic proclivity voted with the Demo
cratic pSrty and Greenbackers Of Republi.
can proclivity voted with the Republican
party when questions OF national import
arce were before the house. On questions
OF finance alone the members have acted
with q united purpose. Itisthe intention
OF the leaders now to manage the Green
hackers in the next House as compact
body between two great parties and to
squeeze whatever advantage can be OBJ
tanned from each.
The Republican estimate OF the compo.
sition OF the next House and the Green.
back estimate differ slightly. The Repub.
licans estimate l4s members, including
the vacancy in New Hampshire, which Is
filed by o Republican, and ]. Hyatt
Smith, and Mr.. Brumm, OF Pennsylvania.
They concede 1877 Democrats and eight
Greenbackers. The Greenbackers claim
both smith and Brumm, raising their
number to ten and decreasing the Repub.
licans to 146. The Greenback programme
is to nominate Mr.. Kelly, OF Pennsylya-
mia, for the Speakership, further reducing
the Republican strength to l45. Proyid.
