The English Conservatives have had q drop
of beer aud two crumbs of comfort during the
past week. The drop was the defeat OF Sir
William HarcOurt in Oxford, and the crumbs
were the apologies of the POstmaster-General
and the Premier. The Conservative journals
naturally have O keen relish for little bread
and beer after prolonged diet of NORWOOD
and sghs In his review Of the political events
of the week our London correspondent shows
precisely how much stress is to be laid upon
these three incidents, and especially upon Mr..
G,adstone's letter. The Premier is surprised
that his note of apology has excited so much
attention. and insists that it was not tclegraphed
to Vienna until he had extracted from the Aus
TRAN Minister a most important pledge. 1t is
undoubtedly true that the apology has led to
an exchange Of condolences between the two
courts The Austrian Minister seems 10 have
given Lord Granville positive assurances that
the alliance between Vienna and Berlin means
peace i'll Southeastern Europe and good will to
Great Britain. The new Foreign Secretary, Ill
his turn has admitted that Austria may be Of
use in checking the ambitious aims OF Russia,
and while he reteratcs the Liberal faith i'll the
benefcent results of self-govemment III the
Balkan peninsula, he contends that the public
law of Europe must be riGidly enforced. This
is pointed reminder that the Treaty of Berlin
does not sanction permanent occupation OF the
Bosnian provinces. Whether Mr.. Gladstone
has carried personal humility to the verge OF
Ministerial humiliation, and whether the Aus
trian Minister has committed his Government to
an incOnvenient policy, may be regarded ms
open questions, but one thing is plain these
explanations have promoted good feeling i'll
Vienna and London.

Mr.. Garfield does not 60 beyond September.
He predicts that il Congress remains in session
until that time 1000 bills will be added
to the LOO now pending, without the passage
of single law. He has not taken the full
measure of Democratic incompetence. The
present House might sit out its present term
without rising and then adjourn without having
done anything whatever. Mark Twain's recent
study of the industrious ants and the dead
grasshOpper-leg which they kept swinging
arourd the circle, can readily be turned into a
political satire on the legislative habits of
Democratic statesmen.
Mr.. Smalley confirms in his cable dispatch the

DON'T DENY II.

The "editor of the Statesman" en-
deavors to dispose of his attempt at
sharp practice in the recent Demo-
cratic mass convention, by an as
sumed indifference as to the dis
graceful character of it. He would
gladly dismiss it with a snap of his
finger. But it will not down. The
broad fact still remains that he has
not and will not squarely and en-
phatically deny that he had
selected delegates to be appointed
before the meeting was called. But
the close corner in which he has
been put is seen and acknowledged
by all save himself, and the sum-
mary manner in which he was sat
down upon is a guarantee that he
will not try it second time.

Greenhack Platform.

The following are the resolutions
passed by the Greenback State Com
mittee, last winter, at Parkersburg,
and readopted at the recent State
Convention at Charleston:
Resolued LIST. We demand that
the greenback be made a full legal
tender for the payment of all debts,
public and private, and the exclusive
paper money of the country, and
that the greenback dollar and me-
tallic dollar shall be made by law on
a par with each other.
End. That the bonds shall be paid
according TO the original contract.
3rd. That the National Bank cir
culation be abolished and greenbacks
substituted therefor.
4th. That silver be coined on the
same terms and conditions as gold.
9Th. That the railroads and other
monopolies which are now absorb
ing an undue portion of the sub
stance of the producing classes, and
have inaugurated policy of consol-
idation, of corruption and conquest,
which threatens the liberties, as well
as the highest interests of the peO-
pie, shall be limited, restrained and
controlled by legislation.
9Th. That measures be provided
that the wage laborers of the coun.
try who are receiving but small
moiety of the value of their produce
tons shall get the full earnings OF
their labor.
18th. That we are in favor of a
graded income tax.
9Th. We recommend that Con-
gress pass General Weaver's soldiers
and sailors bill, also the homestead
and loan bill of Judge Wright, of
Pennsylvania.

THE CENSUS.

The first day of June the enumer-
ators commenced the work Of taking
the census for 1880. In the country
the entire month will be devoted to
it, while in cities having 10000 in
habitants and over, it will be limited
to two weeks. We take the follow
ing from the Baltimore Gazette,
which at this time certainly will be
interesting to our readers:
SIN the first place the enumerators
have to ascertain the number of per-
sons living in every dwelling or place
of abode the name, age, sex, color,
physical condition and occupation of
every member of the family, and the
number of births or deaths in the
family if any, during the year. A
refusal to answer any one of these
questions is punishable with a fine
not exceeding one hundred dollars.
In taking the census in 1870, howev-
er, it was found necessary to resort
to this expedient to force unwilling
persons to answer in only two or
three instances throughout the
whole United States. In addition to
ascertaining the facts as to popula-
ton the enumerators are required to
obtain full statistics of agriculture
and manufactures, and the questions
covering these subjects are numer-
Gus and searching. Our people are
said to be more favorably disposed
toward the census than any other
and, as a rule, respond cheerfully to
the questions Of the enumerator. 1t
would be well for every responsible
member of a family to think over in
the next day or two the questions to
be asked so that he can give Iprompt
and accurate answers to the census
taker when he arrives. A feeling of
national pride, if not of individual

CHICAGO CONVENTION.

We had hoped to give the result of
the action of the Chicago convention
in this issue, but up to the hour of
going to press, the convention had
made no nomination. The fight be-
tween the Grant and anti-Grant fac
tions is unparalleled in the history
of national conventions. The best
powers of the brilliant leaders on
both sides are brought into play,
and the contest from the very be-
ginning has been close and stubborn.
Our opinion was that the Grant men
would win an easy victory. In this
we were mistaken. The tactics
of his brilliant leaders have been
fully met and matched by the equally
able and shrewd leaders of the oppo-
sition, and at this writing the
chances seem to be running against
the nomination of Grant. 1t seems
now almost impossible that his
friends can succeed in pushing him
through. In case Of his defeat,
which now seems assured, it is prob
able that the Grant forces, though
defeated, will still have power to de-
feat their most prominent and stub
born antagonist, Senator Blaine.
There is no doubt they will do it if
they can. If Blaine is defeated, the
probabilities are that the Grant men
will take up Edmunds, but if they
have not strength enough to nomi-

WHAT. ALREADY


The Morgantown Post, seemingly
unoble to find one spot or blemish in
the political record of Mr.. Faulkner
seeks to console its readers by at
lacking him personally and calling
him and "old aristocrat. This sort
of stuff may pass current in the
mountains, it will nevertheless be
considered the veriest trash and
buncombe here where that gentle
man is best known. No man is more
free from aristocratic tendencies and
feelings than Mr.. Faulkner, and in
long public career which is open
to the world, he might safely defy
any enemy of his to point to one
single vote that he ever gave, or
measure that he ever advocated, that
did not look to the comfort and in
terest of the laboring man. Show
it Mr.. Post, if you can. Perhaps we
can not better dispose of this idle
and ridiculous imputation than by
giving the following extract from
published letter, over his own sigma
ture, recently written by mechanic

thereof. This is the man and this

9wo hundred delegates present, all
the counties being represented but
two. Hon. CD. Faulkner was made

a spirited and ringing address, which
was received with outbursts of ap-

were entirely harmonious. The DEL
egates elected were, Hon. H. G.. Da-

of Marion, and w. L. Wilson. Esq,
of Jefferson, for the District. The
delegates were not instructed.
