yesterday afternoon. There are in Maine
,vo greenback State committees

iec,ed an executive committee of five to
confer with Scion Chase's followers. They

Emerson of Auburn. The unadulterated
creenbackers consisted Of Scion Chase. X.
NJ. Springer of Portland, w. F. Eaton of
Cane Elizabeth, and J. +. Turner Of Port
land. The conference was informal, as the
delegates from the main wing of the party
were not empowered to make overtures to
Scion Chase and his faction. The sage of
Chase's Mills was as firm as ever his back
bone was as rigid as a crowbar. He sub
mitted as his utimatum that there should be
no entangling alliances with either of the old
parties On this basis he would do his best
to reorganze the greenback hosts in the
State and lead them on to victory. He
asserted that he would fight fusion as vigor-

past He spurncd an alliance with a dying
party, such as the democrats unqucstionably

with unexpected favor by all present. The
executive committee decided that they had no
authority to conclude an agreement with Mr..
Chase, but would cali another conference at
Augusta or the day of the meeting of the
Maine State Temperance Society. 1t was
thought that on that day measures could be
taken to cut adrift from the democrats, and
build new greenback party from the ruins.
It was unanimously decided to have the

"COME UP HIGHER. !"
Rev. Mr. Ecob's New York Call.

From what we learn from the Albany, n.
Y, newspapers, there is a fixed determine
ton on the part of the members OF the Sec
ond PRESBYTERIAN church in that city, to Sc
cure the pastor of the South Congregational
church, Rev. Mr.. Ecob. The publishers of
the Albany dailies--the Journal and Argus
have sent Us copies of their papers containing
marked articles relating to the subject.
The Journal says: REV. J. ii. Ecob,
m able and accomplished divine
of Augusta, Maine, has been rendered
call by the Second Presbyterian
church of this city, to fill the pulpit made
vacant by DIR. Upson's accepting Professor
ship in the Auburn Theological Seminary.
Mr.. Ecob has not yet accepted the call, but
ii is hoped that he may. not only by the
church, but by many of our citizens, who
have listened to his scholarly and devotional
preaching. Although still a young man, vet
he has already taken high rank among the
clergymen of his denomination, and he would
no doubt augment by his culture, eloqpence
and pety, the ministerial force and power of
our city. He was strongly recommended to
the church by DR.. Epson and other eminent
professors. Some Misrepresentation having
been made in regard to the uDanimity of the
call, DIR. HALEY the moderator and Mr.. 1rv-
ing Browne the secretary of the meeting,
have signed circular, certifying, substan-
TALLY. to the following facts: That two
meetings Of the church were held, on Dec.
%, 1880, and Jan. 3, 1884, for the purpose of
eecting pastor. At the first meeting ont
ofs4 votes cast 50 were for Rev. Mr.. EcOb,
seven against him. and the remainder scatter
ing or blank. At the second meeting, out of
.? votes cast, 81 we're for Mr.. Ecob, and five
opposed
We learn that Mr.. Ecob has decided to ac-
cept the flatterng call, and will soon leave
Augusta for this new field of labor. While
wereeret losing so able and learned divine
from our Maine pulpit. We feel that he is emf
nently qualified for the new field, and in this

have fuller scope. The church over
