A lew weeks ago, Jonathan C. Fincher,of East Mauch Chunk, ex member of the LegiS' laturo, and factotum of tho Greenback party In this county, called at this office for an estimate for the publication of a Greenback organ in Carbon county. Wo gave him the figures for which wo were willing to furnish tho paper weekly for six months, viz : from the first Tuesday in July till tho last Tues day of December. Ho expressed himself highly satisfied with the price namcdjndocd wondored how wo could do it for so low a figure. He left us promising to give a de cided answer to tho agreement in a few days, which part of tho bargain ho faithfully kept, and had ho done so with tho rest of the bar gain thero would have been no call for this article. Here is the letter we got from him accepting the terms and authorizing us to proceed with tho work : East Maccii Ciiu.vc, June 17, 1878. Mr. H. V. Mortihuer, Dear Sir. Expecting to see you Tester day, I neglected dropping you aline, hence do so now. I desiro to get out tho first numer of tho paper by Tuesday, July 2d, and then I will skip a week, and tho regular issues com- inenco on Thursday, 18th following. That will give mo a chance to get my clubs, ad vert'sing and collections in fair shape. Of the first issue I will require 1000 copies, and will settle the bill on Saturday of each week of issue. I last night had a club of over a score put their names to an agreement, that if I was short at any time for my weekly payments tuey bio to supply tneaeiiiciency. They formed a fund for that nurnose. aud elected a Treasurer, so that I am sure of backiuc if it is required. How how soon do you require copy to get out the first No. by tho 2nd or 3rd of July. I will want a few printed blanks for sub scriptions, of which 1 will send you copy in a aay or two. itespcciiuny yours, J. C. IixcntB, Upon receipt of tho foregoing letter, we went to Philadelphia and purchased the ex- 4rS"jnatcrial we needed to get outthe Green- lacker, as per contract, and on the 2d day of July delivered 1000 copies of the papcr.thus fulfilling our part of the contract to the let ter. On the following Saturday we,ofcourse; expected to get our pay, but no, that was their side of tho bargain, and being friends and supporters of the rights of labor, they concluded that labor could wait ; but on tho following Saturday, they paid us an iustal xnent of $20, being all they could raise, Fin Cher's club failing to pay in their levicsind on Tuesday, July 10th, wo printed them tho 2d number of tho paper, thus giving them every chance to get up clubs and raise money, but tho following Saturday came and, went without a sign of pay for tho work done. By this time we had set up and printed the out side of No. 3, but seeing that we were being ttuck by theso working men's friends, every week deeper and deeper, we determined to sacrifice what we were already in for, rath' er than run further risk with such a class of political dodgers and tricksters. On the fol lowing Monday, the hon. gentleman who edited the paper put in an appearance, and desired to know what copy was required when he was imformcd that wo needed green backs before we wanted more Greenbacker copy. When, after some conversation was decided that the paper should stand over until after the Convention on the following Friday, and that Issue niake its appearance on Saturday j that be would at that conven tion raise the money and pay us for the work done. In that Convention, he inform ed ui, that the immense turn of two dollars teas collated I On Saturday he put In an op- pearance about half-past four o'clock In the ftftoneoa with, $20 mere, whan we run off o. 3, nntl thalsstcdltlonoftho Orccnbackcr printed at this office, Finchcr saw the County Committee would meet tho follow ing wock, when ho would make nrrnngo nienta for tho amount of our bill, aud n euro thing for the prompt payment therenfter, or stop the paper. Tho Committee or soma of them met, and this la lyncher's card to us I East Macou Ciidsi, Aug. 3d, 187S. Dkab Sir. Commlttco nrransed for pay ment of bill, soou nsfirrtnssessmeiit collected. No provision for futuio distribute standing matter. I am out for a job, ink slinging or file driving. Respectfully, J. r InCHER. Since that time we have received $20 from the County CommlttoTrcasurcr,Thos. Carr, of Mauch Chunk. There is yet a bal ance due ua of $25.39, which if paid will about make us even for the amount wo paid out for labor and paper on tho Grcenbackcr, leaving us minus about $100 invested in tho purchase of additional material (and for which wo have no use) to get out tho paper. Wo have sent and called for this $25 Boveral times, aud they say we will get it sometime, but they are poorj yet they could take our money, (rightfully duo us,) and pay for a bastard sheet printed partly in New York City and partly in Monroe county. This is the treatment these great lovers of tho working man has dealt out to us wo claim to bo a workingman and from this, their first effort of financcring, we would ask our fellow working men what they expect to calu should theso political mountebanks succeed in being elected to office? Just noth. ing at all their only effort would bo to bc- como "bloated bondholders," whom they now effect to despise ; if elected they would undoubtedly, as Kearney 6ays, " legislate for themselves," and their dupes, tho working men, might goto Hell crtown or anywhere else for all they would care. Worklugmcn, bewaro of them, and leave them severely alono 1 Speaking of Dennis Kearney as an ora tor, the New York Sun, sums him up as follows : When a man unbridles his tongue and gives vent to unmeasured denunciation and abuse, ho is liable to suddenly acquire a reputation for talent, merely because his style of oratory is novel and startling. There is reason to believe such has been tho case with Mr. Dennis Kearney. His violent language could hardly fall to arrest tho at tention of the public. But when we look for ideas in his speeches, they aro not to bo found. He talks, in vague and general terms, and unlntclllgently, about evils for which he proposes no definito remedy. Ho raves, l'eoplo may continue, lor a little while, to flock to hear Mr. Kearney. Ho may draw great crowds if ho comes to this city. Still, we think thero must be a gen eral feeling of disappointment in him. He simply proposes to tear down without any project of rebuilding better. He is a wild destructive. Those who havo sincerely at heart tho cause of the laboring man find it impossible to seo how it is tobcaided by the present efforts of Mr. Dennis Kearney. -The Associated Press, on Saturday, says that Receiving Teller Underwood, ot the Re demption Agency at Washingron, furnishes tho following in regard to tho $5 counterfeit on tho First National Bank of Tamaqua, Pa. which shows how widely it is circulated and how easy it is oven for bank tellers to be mistaken regarding the genuineness of a note. The first counterfeit was received at tho Redemption Agency on tho 22d of last September, since which over eighty have been received. This counterfeit has been received from thirty-six cities and towns and twenty-four States. Its detection is a matter of certainty, as so far not ono has been seen with tho correct charter number, which is 1219, and which is printed across the faco of the note in large red figures. The counterfeiters in this case did not know the significance of the charter number, as 23 numbers havo appeared on this note, and ten notes have been branded that have higher number than 2S00, whilst the high est number of any genuine bank note is 2391. At a meeting of tho officers of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the United States, held in Baltimore, on Saturday, it was de cided to hold the next session of tho Grand Lodge on tho third Monday of September next, in Baltimore, instead of Austin, Texas, as at first projioscd.
