Editor PIcAYUNE:-Your rustic correspondent "DimokraV hits the mark with vigor and precision. The Dispatch Green back editor is merciessly dispatch ed. "tIoist with his own pctard' he sadly sets mp type, softly saying all the while "What mercy to oth- CTS I did not show, that mercy show to me.n "Dimokrat's" caustic truths and scatlIing satire have cxas perated the local GrcenbacI; clique. Residents in glass houses ought to throw stones. Ner, ous politi- clans should observe ciyility. Courtesy in political or any war fare begets courtesy. Professional political puguiists must cXacct a hard time. Professional literary assassins no quarter; professional scribes, seized with mtmdacious cacoethes scribendi pitiless diSsec. ton.
 The shonts of Greenhack merri- ment that greeted editor Ansley's insane cry, Woe unto ya, law ycrs,' are changed to cries Of ven geance. They writhe beneath the fiery whip of naked truth, where with they were chastised. They thought their castle of lies iinpreg- nablc, it's sly commander General Bombastcs Furioso Ansley, inv;n- cible. Alas! for political halluci- nations, their castle is in ruins, the hombastic General on crutchcs. Certain Greenbackprs, incensed at the calamity, volubly resent it with the audacity of mngwump and the cfiroutcry of a Courtezau.
 Whence thc orjgn, whitEer the destiny of Greenbackjsm? It is insubordinatc, lawIess Democracy. It's watchword, better to reign in bell than in heaveu.' It's policy, the end instifaS the means, This ! PoIit!ca! toandIing wears Democi at clothing. It's existence is painful 1 ly precarious, it refuses solid food, 1 its only noarjsiimeut since bilth !, sucking wind. Cunning devices have been had t0 l:ol 2G is E. Greenbackcrs Anl Republicans join hands at the ballot box. Aristoc- racy anl communism lovingly en- brace. II is an unholH, inceatuoHs alliance. Political deceney frowns upon 1t. Political morality de Aounccs It. Pure Democracy ab- hors il. Let every living, think ing, acting, speaking Demo crat, move on with vim to it's discomti turc. Green5acliism is dying-thc undertaken is on hand, and Chap lain Reeves is expected with ap- propriate emotion, to conduct its burial service. Yours,

Speaking at LeckIand Springs.

Friday the people in the neigh h0rhood of Lackland Springs en. joyed picnic there. There was a small turnout, bat all enjoyed the nice picnic dinner. We were pres ent, aud enjoyed the day.
 Soon after dinner Messrs. o. s. Jones, G. w. Reeves. J. M. Pitt man and c. c. Hamby made speeches on political matters.
 MT. o. s. Jones was tho first speaker. He reiterated the old cry of Garland and Ansley:-That the industrial classes were being oppressed and on the verge ot slavery on the European plan;- bard times, caused by contraction of currency; no difference between the two old parties, etc. He was loudly applauded at close-by two persons, Messrs. Jno. H. Pittma, and Matt White.
 Rev. c. w. Reeves answert q O s. Jones in a fine speech. Said tn, cry of oppression and hard time. were old and threadhear argu ments, and were used simply t. ride into office. That the bitter attack on the record of the Demo erats "a bright and glorious recort

Editor PICAYUNE:-In the prim- tive ages, the mechanical genius of man had not been developed. EvcrN thing whs in q crade state, and we may readily believe that even in catching game, the "deaG fall" was utilized to it's fullest ex- tent. Modern inventions have given 10 the trapper and hunter q more sure way of securing their coveted prize This age is a pro- gressiyc one, and q large majority of mankind are accepting it's re- suits, and being benefited by it's inventions and discoveries. But occasionally an old fogle ndheres to the "dead fall" for trapping pur- poses, and Ancient Sparta for the purpose of teaching finance. Well, nS the DutGhman says, You pays your money, you takes your choice" Ansley has taken his, probably caused hy contraction of the money volume" and be cause ''spot cash" is not the man ner of conducting business at the Dispatch office, and ''dead falls are cheap. He says that l was picking crumbs around the "dcad fall" If so, l was doing my best for crumbs is all a man could eX- pect around a "dcad fall" where Ansley furnished the bait, and from his own admission crumbs are getting very scarce, and wind will soon, if it has not already, supp'ant anything of tangible nature, in and around the Dispatch office. Our opinion is that he may be caught in his own trap, and that after the approaching election he he wit realize that his 'fali'' was a "deadn one, sure enough, and that his bait wlH crumbs that failed t0 meet thc public appetite.

was natural for the defeated; was sorry the Greenbackers had no record to attack. The cry of slavery, starvation, etc. was false 10 the coTe-this country is all tie while improving; ahead of all oth- or countries. Mir. Jones bad mis. represented about the money in circulation: report of Secretary of Treasury showed there is S2I.G0 per capita in circulation instead of 5000 as he stated. Said the ex- emptioa laws caused hard times more than anything else, that the anacOnda mortgage was creature of these laws. Democrats can | undo bad laws in ono nor several years, thati it took the Republican party nearly quarter of centn try to enact. Difference between Republicans and Democrats was this: former is a init for continu. ance Of bonded indebtedness and nationa! banks: latter notall in ia. vor of this. That he was 'unlik e Jones used to Do when in Demo. cratic party, voted for waller dog'-glad he was not that kind ot a Democrat.
 John Nj. Pittman used similar language to Jones'. Compared Grcenback leaders to Christ and his apostles. Said R. W. Johnson favored grcenbacks and contended that there was not half enough money in circulation. His attempt. ed speech was a rambling, hGlting talk.
 c. c. Hamby closed thc debate in good, telling speech. Said il was not surprising to see snci statesmen (Y as Jones and Pittman out making speeches-they wanted a good, fat office. It was false charge that the Democrats had done nothing in Congress this year: they had caused the forfeit ure of fraudulent railroad land grabs; had kept silver as our stan. dard coin; it had the nerve to veto private pension bills, saving thons ands of dollars annually to the country. Saii his Greenback friends ignored the fact that the Republican party favored gold alone and against silver, to fight Democrats. Currency question did not cause revolution in France as Jones conteuded, but taxation without representation eansed it. That Jones theory of raying of pnblic debt was simply Indirect re. pudiation.. Only three ways to get money-steal il, work for it or sell something for it. Impossible to keep money evenly divided. Il three men were pat on an island one would soon own all or nearly all of everything. Jefferson op- posed the paper money theory oI tho Grochbackers.
 Reeves and Hamby completely wound up their adversaries. Mir Reeves captured the entire audi, cnce-was often cheercd oii all sides. We learn there were a number of persons convinced Ot the truths uttered by these two gentlemen, and will hereafter vote with the DpmOcratS

dumping a Graveyard.

One Of the most novel ejectment
suits ever brought into any court in
the Territory, was commenced in
Butte last week. It seems a deposit
of brick clay was discovered in the
cemetery belonging to the Masons
and Odd Fellows, and the property
was jumped as mineral ground, turn
ed into brickyard and about doz-
en- men put to work On hearing of
it the societies named sent a joint
committee TO the graveyard and pro-
tested against the ashes of Butte's
dead being moulded into brick The
jumpers were very Independent and
replied that while they had no present
intention Of desecrating the graves
they would If they wanted to, go right
in among them to get material for
making brick. As no amicable set
tlement of the difficulty could be ar
rived at, the lokges concerned held
meeting and decided to commence an
Indictment suit at once.

held in Denver, Col, next September.
The exact date Of its convention is
not yet settled. but it will probably be
about the middle Of the month This
will be the first time the Forestry
Congress has ever moved out Of the
eastern states to hold its sessions, and
the coming meeting will be a notable
one on that account. Matters per
tanning to the vast but rapidly de-
creasing forest reserves of the Great
West will be considered. and the
question Of promoting tree growth in
places now devoid Of timber and pre-
serving it in already existing forests
will be fully Investigated
The President of the Forestry AS
sociation, Mr.. Geo. II. Parsons, in
transmitting the invitation of his
society, says: eve hope that you
will come with a strong force, to
whom we will give a fitting and
enthusiastic reception. In no field
can your labors bear better fruit than
here, for the forests, OF some substi-
tute for them, are necessity Of our
existence, and public attention must
be aroused to that fact. Herald.
