change HOtei-They Await a Letter from
General BuIIer.

The Greenback State Committee met at the
rooms OF the Executive Committee of the
Democratic State COMMITTEES ia the Merchants
Exchange Hotel, yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock. The Call under which the committee
met read as follows:
"The committee desire to effect cordial
union of the entire Greenback party of the
State, all acting harmonioasly for a common
purpose, within one organization.
We respectfully invite all who think favora.
Oily OF the OBJECT, to meet the committee at the
ABOVE named Time and place, to consult with
them as to the best means to promote harmony
and strength in the coming election
The call was signed by 1. T. Quimby, chair.
man, and Q. S. GurRey, secretary. Not any of
the Scion Chase wing responded to thescal, but
the Eaton wing was alone represented. There
were six out of ten counties whose members of
the committee appeared viz: Androseoggin, S.
Il York; Cumberland, Isaac f. Quimby; Knox
Oliver Otis; Lincoln Isaac r. Hobson; Oxford,
Judge r. A. Frye; York, Caleb S. Quincy.
There ara only four other counties that have
members on the state committee: Kennebec,
Penobscot, Pitcataquis and Waldo. These
counties were not represented by gentlemen
at the meeting, but known, Greenbackers were
appointed to fill the places. Among other
prominent Greenbaekers present were John
M. Todd of Portland, FL. B. Eaton of Camden,
| candidate for governor, Col. Emerson of the
National Committee and Elliot King.
The meeting was called to order Dy Chair
man Quimby and long discussion resulted on
the attitude of the Greenback party in thu pre-
sent campaign. 1t was voted to make vigor-
GUS and aggressive effort The position of Gen.
Benjamin K. Butler was anxiously inquired
after and it was stated by Col Emerson, who
produced letters from sources said to be relia-

didate and that he would issue a letter of &C.
ceptsnce in few days after the letters of Mr.
Blaine and Gov. Cleveland had been publish
ed; probably the second week in August.
1t was also voted that the members of the
state committee in each district, should call the
district conventions, and the first district con-
vention was called for August 9TH at Portland,
at some place to be hereafter decided, but not
at Congress Hall as stated in yesterdays Ar
| gus.
The feeling expressed at the neeting was
that in all the large Greenback districts the
| Greenbackers, as between Blaine and Cleye-
land, were in favor of Blaine. Part of this
was due to state pride; part to the feeling that
Mr.. Cleveland had no special sympathy with
the masses, and that Mr.. Blaine had. Some
| reports had been made that Mr. Hobson of
| Wiscasset had said he would not vote for
Blaine. Mr.. Hobson says he shall vote for

New Tanning Bark.

The tannekaya bark, which comes
from New Zealand, and is new agent
in tanning, is one of the novelties of
commerce. This discovery is very
recent. In 1873 the whole export from
New Zealand was fifteen tons, but last
year it was 375 tons. The greater part
Of the export is taken to Grenoble,
France, where it is used in dressing
leather for gloves. The price of this
bark in it's native country is $40 per
ton, and the freight is as much more.
Hence it has been proposed to make
the tree one of our own products, since
the bark has at times been worth $3.50
per ton. It contains 1896 per cent. of
tannin, whereas oak bark contains only
8.95 and hemlock 9.5. The tannekaya
tree is very beautiful, and, as it's timber
is very useful, it has every point of
value. Being of the fir species, it is
we'll adapted to the light soil of the
South, and might do much to enrich
that part of the Union.

Stint the supply of salt therefore, and
neither will the bile be able properly tc
