For GREENBACKERs. - The advanced
Greenbackers-the long haired, frce-love,
communistic, Hat money sort-are OF course
as dissatisfied as ever, and will continue To
keep up their foolish aud futile agitation.
But the Greenbackers who wanted green
back as good rs gold; who demanded the
same dollar for the workingman and the
bondholder; who insisted on the speedy
payment OF the public debt-have they not
been granted all they asked! Thanks to
resumption, brought about by a Republican
administration, We have greenback as
good as gold, We have an honest dollar for
the laborer and the rich man, and the de-
crease OF the public debt during the first
four months Of the calendar year has
amounted to the enormous sum OF 49,
4S3, 75l, or more than two per cent. o! the
net debt as il stood on the first OF January.
Thirty-nine millions OF this decrease has
been In the bonded debt,-23 l-2 millions
in bonds bearing six per cent. interest,
and 10 l-2 millions In fives, effecting an
actual saving in annual interest amounting
to nearly 80. 200. 600 which was more than
2 l-2 per cent OF the interest OF the debt
as 1t stood at the beginning Of the year
Another thing was demanded-more mon
ey. That demand also has been complied
with; not In an irredeemable paper cur
rency, but In substantial gold and silver
The value Of gold coined In April alone
was nearly seven millions.

The oxford Democrat man Is laboring
under the impression that the last district

cally called as Blaine convention, and
that any speeches made thereat were nee
essarily Blaine speeches Such Is not
the fact The call was addressed To "Re-

we know OF was an intimation by the chair
man that whoever may be nominated At

follow the standard, upon whoever may
devolve the honor OF carrying the flag. -

Bro. Shorey garbles his own speech, in
order to prove tina, he did not favor Mr..

method of quoting we shall prove that
he considered Names candidate in a
favorable light Here is an extract from
his speech, as Chairman of the conyen-
ton:
The choice shall fall upon your own dis
tinguished Senator, for whom the vote OF
Maine will most likely be recorded.

We can assure the GreenbackerS Of
one thing II Mr. Fogg had been elected a
member OF the Legislature and taken an
oath OF Office in the Legal Legislature, he
would never have taken part In rebel
Legislature and help 70 give Il the appear
ance OF legality. no matter what personal
interest he might have had in the matter
Auburn ChrONicis.
Mr.. Fogg did publish an extra sheet,
and issue it with his paper, which he
declared contained the public laws OF
the State of Maine passed by the fifty
ninth Legislature. 1880" Thus he
acknowledged the legality Of this Legs
lature for a fee Of ten dollars. Perhaps,
however, that was not for MS own per
sonal interest" as he now has a partner,
who may need the money, while Fogg
has grown rich by becoming an agitator.
If Fogg had been a member of the Leg
isla,ure, We apprehend he would, like
Perry, have demanded his salary of his
constituents, or have drawn it from the
State as a member Of the ''rebel Legs
lature."

A WOMAN KILLS A WILDcAT.-For sew
eral days past IL has been reported that
wildcat was roaming the woods In the
neighborhood or Shandaken In the Catsklll
region, New York. Two or three persons
had seen the animal, but, being unarmed'
did not dare venture TO attack him. On
Saturday afternoon last, as the four-year-
old child Of Chas. Schooumaker, who lives
on the mountain bordering on Greene Co,
was playing near the house, its mother
heard 1t scream for help. Raining from
the house she found that the child was be-
Ing attacked by some wild animal. Selling
heavy stick, she went To the child's a.
sistance. The wildcat for such it was J,
with eyes sparkling like fire, jumped FOR
the mother and fastened its claws In one OF
her arms. Being strong and courageous
woman, she managed to hurl the animal
from her, and, by few well-directed blows,
10 end its life. II measured over five feet
from its head to tip OF tail, and weighed
twenty-seven pounds. The child was bad
ly scratched, and but for the prompt arriy-
al OF its mother, would have been killed.

The Netc- York Age. In this same chopfer
the correspondence is substantially the
same as that which actually passed between
the author and Gen. Abbott Many OF the
passages correspond word for word. (Mr.

Is almost an exact copy OF theoriginal. The
answer also follows the original reply al
most word for word. As is related in the
book, the letter to the Tribune was repub-
lished In one OF the local papers, and excit-
ed the indignation OF the people. Those
who participated In this crime were well
known, and made claims To responsibility.
There were outrages committed by the
Ku-Klux In those days that were usxer

they were perpetrated. John Burlison-

them expressed doubt II there were any In

said he had been one and, you aud you

were sitting around. When Towcser was
a candidate for Congress in 1873, Burlison

Mr.. F. l.. Dingley, junior editor OF
the Lewiston journal, is visiting the
Southern States. His letters to the
Journal are of unusual interest. Many
of our people have, doubtless, often wish
ed to visit the South and learn for them
selves of the society and politics of that
section. Few of US are able 10 do so /;
but we find in Mr.. Dingley's letters a
6rst-class substitute for such visit. He
has not travelled as superficial observer,
but has conversed with men from all
classes of society, both whites and blacks.
His testimony is that bulldozing and
intimidation are not newspaper fabrica-
tons, but actual facts. 1t is well known
that the Journal has been ''concilia-
ton paper, but Mr.. Dingley's expert
ences and observation will doubtless i'm
part to it more stalwart tone hereafter,
as it becomes more evident to its man
ayers that gross injustice is being done to
Southern citizens.

the life OF a white Republican In the South
Is a hard one, and that he Is In continual

AN HONOR AND A DISGRACE.

The State Of Maine has had the credit of
furnishing many names which are entered
on the nations 'roll Of honor" At re-
cent period there were two or three L. ,.
Senators besides our own who were ma
tives or Maine. Some OF the best and
most prominent men OF 1.-THE great west
have been natives of this State. During
the war no State Of her size contributed a
longer or more brilliant list OF brave and
skillful military leaders.
Today the State or Maine plays a con-
spicuous part In the public history OF Cal
ifornia, In being the BIRTH place OF two OF
the most prominent political figures In that
State. Maine was the birth place Of Cali
fornia's present governor, and the mayor
Of San Francisco. In this case We shah
be obliged to take the bad with the good.
A few years ago, II we are not misinfOrm-
ed, the present Governor Perkins Of Cali
fornia ieft the town Of KennebunkpOrt be-
fore the mast OF Kennebunk vessel. To-
day he Is the respected chief magistrate or
one Of the most enterprising and loyal
States Of the Union, an honor to the place
OF his nativity and to the State Of his
adoption.
On the other hand, q few years ago |. 5.
Kalloch left the city OF Rockland, TO dis
grace the cause Of religion and moral de-
cency in Massachusetts, then to achieve
still further unenviable fame I'm Kansas
and finally to pitch his tent in California,
where he has succeeded In pilIng sttll more
shame upon his already dishonored name
However, the honor OF one Governor
Perkins will Offset the disgrace Of several
Kallochs, so we may not feel very much
hurt in the present circumstance.-Reaps'
