Lieut.. Greedy and men are pro-
crossing favorably; Greelv less so, per-
hapS, than the others. Yesterday he
exhibited symptoms of great fatigue
and weakness. He is talking too
much, and the constant interviewing
operates unfavorably. He was taken
for drive yesterday up to Valley
Ford bridge, and gloated on the beau
tiful, fertile summer prospect, in such
marked contrast to the bleak sterility
of his cabin home IN the Arctic
"These trees" he said with exuberant
enthusiasm, "look so beautiful to an
eye that has seen no vegetation for
over three years. The green fields
give me new life" Greedy is the guest

an answer, to-day, to the conspiracy
suits of which he is one OF the de-

fraudulent use of money, or knowl-

over-drafts were drawn by some of
the directors-a matter over which he
had no control.

A New PARTY.

PITTsBURG, PA, July 19.-Hon
Thos. A. Armstrong, elector of ths
labor tribune, was interviewed to-day
He said movement was on foot by
the bodies of the anti-monopoly and
greenback parties to inaugurate a
new boom for Butler, which may re-
suit in the organization OF new
party, and which will be composed of
anti-monopolists, greenbackers and
dissatisfied democrats and republicans.
The exact mode of procedure is not
yet determined on. The plan was
to have committee of representative
men organized for the occasion, and
to call a national convention by
means of a circular letter; and an
other to have Gen. Butler, after Cleve
lands letter of acceptance is pub
lished, to write a letter to the people
of the country, which will, in itself,
call convention.
The headquarters of the movement
are in Chicago, and the leaders are
confident of its success.

who may be disposed to under-rate the

be well to state that their population

we do from Europe. But the result
of the whole American trade is, in a

the exports were less than
one hundred and twenty-five millions,
showing balance against us of more
than S100,OO0,000, but the money does
not go to Spanish America. We send
