HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; see what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. Ifsamples can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants so
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where; The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
There-no matter where
you are-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
riagc than the money you
save in the price. .....

New CASTLE, Sept. 2s.-Ex-Clerk OF the
Peace, John Z. Springer, ESD, was over yes
terday to look after the mistakes alleged to
have been made in the assessments during
the March term of the Levy Court. While it
turns out that some clerical errors have
occurred in transcribing names from the
minutes of the Levy Court to the assessments
and which are now being corrected. it also
turns ont that quite as many of those
omitted are Democrats as Republicans so
that while Il certain paper has been
getting mp n howl and crying fraud and
threatening the ex-clerk with the most con-
dign punishment, it appears that the errors
were not made Intentionally or with partisan
purposes but We're just as likely to occur in
any other place under the same circumstances,
and that the Democratic party in this county
would lose quite as much as the Republicans
by the error.

The Situation in Maine.

The Republicans Of Maine have finally
taken such action as was necessary, IN ordci
to bring to a distinct issue the question be
tween the parties to the remarkable contro-
versy now existing in that State. Two
Legislatures, or bodies claiming to he such,
have now organized-one consisting of mem
bers nearly third of whom were not elected
but who hold Illegal certificates to their seats
the whole not constituting quorum Of the
House; the other composed in about equa
proportion of members lawfully elected and
entitled TO seats, b ut from whom their Ger
ticates were illegally withheld by the
Governor and Council and who therefor,
were unable to regularly qualify. The Su
preme Court Of the State will now have Il
determine which Of these is the true Legisla
ture of Maine If the court should fail IL
determine the question, it would then he left
to the National Administration to decide
which is to be recognized. But We do moi
suppose that the Administration will be call
cd on. The court will doubtless speedily de
eide the question and its decision will have
to be respected.

/ To say that the meeting of the Green
hackers in Washington is like bear garden
would family describe the confusion which
| rcigns in that remarkable gathering. A con
vention presided over by Representative
| Murch, Of Maine, and Dennis Kcarncy. OF
! California, must needs he characterized by
fire and fury. Nominally, this convention
was for the purpose Of formulating opinions
and taking counsel, preparatory to the Ma
tional Greenback Convention, which is TO be
! held in Chicago, next June. Every variety
Of ism was brought out and braudishcd aloft
before the first day 5 session was fairly begun.
Among the more prominent matters brought
| forward are the following The eight hour
law, the formation Of a National bureau OF
labor statistics, fusion with Democratic
or Republican organizations, the admis-
sion of Utah as State, the repeal OF
| the postal regulations concerning lottery cir
culars and immoral publications, sympathy
with Parncl, female suffrage, the size and
shape of the grccnhack the weight of silver
and gold ingots a graded income tax, So
cialism, the Congrs, sionai Record for every
voter in the land, "A new Declaration of indie
pcndencc civil service reform, and II few
other things upon which all advanced think
ers have opinions
At the very outset, Chairman Murch raised
a storm lay inviting the Rev. Gilbert DE La
Matyr, the Indiana Grccnback Representa-
tive, TO open the convention with prayer.
lrrcvcrcnt remarks, To the effect that the
delegates could do their own praying, and
that every nan IL his trade was good
motto for the convention, greeted this sug
gcstion. Amid a storm of hisscs the rcvcr-
end Grccnhackcr rose, and the Chairman, at
ter making an humble apology for asking
Mr. DE La Maiyr to offer prayer, put the
question 10 the convention, and, amid much
confusion, it was voted that the prayer should
be admitted. Another storm arose when "a
letter was read from the venerable Peter
Cooper This gentlemen suggested the name
OF Allen &. Thurman as the Grccnhack can

misses, the voice of the reader of
the lnccndiary document being drowned

ton that Congressman Weaver of Iowa,
or B. +. Butler of Massachusetts, would be a
great name for the National Grcenback Pres
Identlal ticket, won unboundcd applause.
The delegates were not quite sure where
Thurman can be found ON leading financial
questions. They know where to look for
Weaver and Butler. As for the Republicans,
it was declared by various speakers that they
were welded TO imperialism and the money
power, while the Democrats had no prin-

clplcs worth mentioning but II was notice
able that the fiercest denounccrs were dis
posed to go lightly over the Democracy.
1t was evident that the Greenbackers find the
Democratic field congenial one. To he sure,
Denis kearney, in a torrent of his customary
blackguardism, declared that the Republican
party is run by iron-hoofcd scoundrcls,
shod in the hot place, and the Democratic
party by their tools'-that is to say, the
tools of the iron-hoofed scoundrcls, and
that both parties were made up of thieves
and vagabonds. But the mental confu-
sion of the convention was best Illustrated
when Chairman Murch attempted to find
out whether the delegates were unanimous
" in favor of Mr.. Viewers bill TO issue
$500 000,00 in grcenbacks. for the
nominal purpose of indemnifying the soldiers
ard sailors for the depreciation Of the cur
rcncy in which they were paid. The Chair
man declared that the vote in favor of in
dorSing this insane proposition was unani-
NOUS Whereupon the convention with in
dcscrbahle confusion. rose up and denied
the statement, and the alleged unanimous
vote was finally defeated. 1t seems tolerably
clear that the majority of the delegates,
though in favor of an unlimited issue Of
greenhacks, are not in favor of paying them
out for the benefit of the soldiers and sailors
of the late war. Probably. Mr.. Weaver
does not favor this part of his scheme, but,
like one of the New England delegates, he
considers his bill valuable as means ITO
get Grcenback principles before the coun-
try"
The Grccnhack Convention appears to be
largely composed of unatics. kearney toiu
the delegates that they were the mudslils
and mutton-hcads of society. and tins COM
plimenlary allusiOn was not resented by
ANYBODY. But when the regular convention
had been adjourned from the thraldom OF
Murch and DE La Maiyr. and an impromptu
| meeting organized, with kearney in the
| chair, the long supprcsscd bedam broke
loose. Every maniac made speech, and
all spoke at once, the music for the occasion
being furnished by a venerable Mr.. BeeswaX,
who recitcd poem on the thrilling subject
of National banks The Grcenback party is
now Il species of Cave of Adullam, into which

right their wrongs, furnish them with money,
and make all things even. 1t being assumed
that the sovereign remedy for all material
ills is more money, and that the Government
is bound to print the money all the rest IS

PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

The friends OF Elhu L. Washburnc will
cndeavor 10 secure for him the nomination
for Governor Of Illinois.
1t is the New York World that says. The
tall tall; of Senator Morgan of Alabama in
the Senate about the ignorant shop keep
ers' of New York, reminds a good many
people of the wild gabble of the ante-bellum
days about the 'mudsills' of society,"
The Charleston. South Carolina, Ne,cs dAd
Courier remarks that "the hest thing that
can happen, for the Democratic party, is that
the Maine Legislature shall nil the vacant
seats and drop everything savoring Of Mcxi-
caniza,ion." Fraud that turns the stomach
of a South Carolina Democrat must be some
thing out of the common.
Political animosities are 50 strong in Viz

and Rand Powder Company's works at Oak
Ridge, blew up this morning Two men,
Fowler and Morrill,, were hurled through the

fatally injured This is the third explosion
within three wears on the same spot. The
cause OF the explosion was that the nitro
