The Greenback party is evidently te be resolved into its original elements in the het fight waging between the two great antagonistic parties. Without a particle of prospect of success even in a single state, the Greenback organization can have no influence except as it maybe used for the benefit of one or the ether of the real parties in the contest. -Ner can it have any hope for greater strength in the future by preserving its separate organization and keeping in the field its electoral ticket. There is nothing in the signs of the times te premise it any con version of voters. It has seen its best days; and the monetary situation which brought it into existence having left it stranded high and dry, its wrecked form is certain te disappear very seen under the shifting sands. It must cease te be known of men after the election ; and its leaders, exercising ordinary sagacity and a human impulse te abandon a hope less wreck, are new prompted te hand ever what fragment is left of their power te one or the ether of the parties which may be capable of rewarding their ser. vice. Weaver, the candidate for president, proposes te take his chances with the Re publicans, being himself an original Re publican, and the mass of these with Republican sympathies among his fol lowers will fellow his example. The Democratic portion will return te theif first love ; and in our own state Frank Hughes plainly intimates that lie does net propose te let Weaver use the Green back party as a tail te the Republican kite. The correspondence which has just taken place between these two Greenback leaders shows already hew their sympathies run and hew they stand as between. Garfield and Hancock. Weaver has shown by his interference in Maine te prevent the fusion of the Democratic and Greenback electoral tickets, that he aims te help Garfield. An independent electoral ticket there would give the state te the Republicans, and Mr. Hughes aptly says te him that he does net desire te give him credit for less intelligence than belongs te the ordi nary human being, who is supposed te intend what his action is clearly adapted te bring about. When a separate electO' tral ticket will give Maine te the Re publicans Weaver desires te help them by advising that it be kept in the field. As the campaign progresses Mr. Hughes and his fellows of Democratic antece dents will be forced by the logic of the situation te come out from the Green back party and give their votes te Han. cock; seeing that by remaining in it they de net save their own ticket but help the Republican, which they de net want te de. They cannot have their first love and would be foolish in the vain strife for it te sacrifice their second choice. Every Greenbackermust cheese between the two principal parties if he would make his vote count as he wishes it te de. The rank and file may be sure that their leaders will be sagacious enough te de this and that they will be left in the cold if they desire te stick te their hopeless ticket. It is net even a forlorn hope that they would cling te. The least wise of them must see that in the present con dition of business, and in that which will exist for a number of years, there is no possible chance for the popular en dorsement of their theories. However right they may think them, this is net the era in which te seek their recogni tion. Thej' must postpone their efforts te a mere convenient season, and mean while take a half leaf as better than no bread, and cheese between the is sues and the men that are represented by the two parties of which one is bound te be successful, as they Avell knew. The World of. te-day publishes an ad. dress of a number of Southern Republi cans which gives their reason, for sup porting Hancock. The address should be read by every fair-minded man. In ad dition te the information given by the World, we can state that Geerge Williamson, one of the signers of it, is a native of Seuth Carolina, and a graduate of the college of that state. He served in the war en the staff of General Polk. Soen after hostilities ended he joined the Republicans, because he believed it was the true policy He could have been governor of Louisiana, but refused te accept. He is well known and has a host of friends from the Carolinas te Texas. Alex. White, of Alabama, another signer, is a man distinguished for his legal knowledge, his literary culture and unquestioned eloquence in the forum and en the stump. In the Republican party he has few equals and no superior. David P. Lewis, the last Republican governor of Alabama, who also approves the address, is a lawyer of ability, a man of gieat worth and of high social stand ing. When such men leave the Republican party it is plain there is something wrong and the Seuth is net solid without a geed cause. Tue " business men" of the Eastern cities must be getting terribly alarmed ever the prospect of Hancock;s election. Here are two sample paragraphs from a private letter received at this office : " In Philadelphia I called at a leading publishing house. Of five members of the firm, all Republicans, four will vote for Hancock." " In a notion house in New Yerk city in which there are 38 salesmen and book keepers, and of which I buy regularly, there are usually 20 Democrats and 18 Republicans. This year they will vote : 37 for Hancock, 1 for Garfield." Skxatei: Jenks, of Xevada, denies that he has abandoned the rotten Re publican ship and come en beard the staunch and seaworthy Hancock bark. This will be a disappointment te the sil ver senator's well-wishers, who were congratulating him en his lucky escape from the disaster that is sure te come upon him and his companions when the gales of November shall lash the turbid waters of the political ocean and sink the notoriously unseawerthy Garfield craft beyond hope of resuffectien. Mr. Jenes, like Ephraim, alas! is joined te bis idols. Mb. Wm. H. Sikpsek, whilem the staunch Democratic editor of the Belfast (Me.) Journal, but who fell from grace a couple of years since and carried his newspaper with him along ever te the Republican fold, has retired from Ins position as leading editorial writer and proprietor of that new rank Republican organ. We are glad te have the assur ance of Editor Simpsen in his retire ment that the Ixtelligexcer is mis taken in supposing that there has been any intention en the part of Governer Davis te "suppress enough of the Dem ocratic vote te re-elect himself, " and that that individual " has no mere con trol ever the election returns than the editor of the Ixtelligenxer." The Journal has the honesty te admit that Gen. Plaisted has a plurality of the votes and declares its conviction that he will be seated as governor, nas the Exam iner heard the news from Maine yet ? Say ? Ex-Gov. Ccktix has been nominated for Congress this year by the Democracy of his district with a much mere hearty acquiescence by the rank and file of the party than before. His selection was accomplished with a marked degree of spontaneity and without any of the outside interference which was se bitter ly resented years age. Moreover, Curtin seems te be giving his time and best talents te the general cause of the De mocracy, and under these circumstances he will be heartily supported and tri umphantly elected. The Republicans of this city paraded some eight hundred of their alleged voters the ether night, and the Demo crats saw them last night and went about thousand better. New the Re publicans propose te try it again and we shall be glad te see them again. M MINOR TOPICS. Tun public debt statement for Septem ber shows a reduction of $8,974,801. Tue U.

TnE woman suffrage canvass of Albany county, N. Y., was opened at Knowcrs Knewcrs Knowcrs ville yesterday, with a crowded meeting. Many clergyman and leading citizens were present, and a number of signatures -were given te a memorial in favor of the An drews bill "te prohibit disfranchisement." Tin: Philadelphia Bulletin notes that the people up in Lancaster count y arc much interested, just new, in the pulpit perform ance of a preacher who preaches his most eloquent sermons while his asleep. This method of evangelizing the word has at least the merit of ncvelty. The common practice has been for the preacher te put the congregation te sleep." A Buoeklyn clergyman went out of town last Monday afternoon te sheet some little birds. Contrary te the luck of most clergymen who go with guus and sheet UMthing, litis doctor ei uiviuity oreugnt down feathered beauties te the number of fifty-two. Had he done this deed te-day, October the first, it would have becu legal. As it was, a cruel constable laid held of him as he was carrying his game home and by taking him before a justice of the peace reminded him of the illegality of his sport. The law provides a fine of live dollars for each bird thus slaughtered out of season. The fact that the dominie was just four days tee early with his sheeting will cost him two hundred and sixty dollars, which is a high figure for a dish of birds. Next year this geed mau will let the birds fatten for at least four days mere. Time. PERSONAL. In accordance with authority contained in the deficiency appropriation bill which passed June 16. 1880, the treasury of the United States has paid te the daughter of ex-President Zaciiaary Tavleii $16,000, being the balance of the salary which Gen. Tayler would have received had he lived until his term of office expired. The eightieth birthday of Gkekci: Ban croft, the historian, will be celebrated to-merrew at his summer residence in Newport, R. I. A few of his most inti mate friends will call upon him, aud he will mark the event by having finished his "History of the United States " as far as the formation and history of the federal constitution is concerned. Damei. Dougherty, esq., who en Tues day received the nomination of the Dem ocratic convention of the Second congres sional district, yesterday replied by letter te the committee notifying him of the ac tion of the convention, expressing his grateful appreciation of the compliment, but declining the proffered honor, stating as his reason for doing se that it had always been his desire te avoid running for any political office. Ex-Judge HiLTON.ef New Yerk,has been nominated as a candidate for Congress from the Twentieth congressional district by a Democratic convention in Johnstown, X. Y. , Judge Hilten says that he at once declined inasmuch as his business interests must preclude all thought of accepting. The nomination was at the instance of the Saratoga delegation in return for the bene fits conferred upon their village by the large hotels and ether improvements created there by the judge. Stage Bobbers. A stage coach was stepped by six masked highwaymen in Pierce county, Me., en Wednesday last, and the passen gers, eleven men and one wemau, were robbed of their money and valvables. About $900 iu cash was taken, of which A. P. Mann, assistant engineer en the St. Leuis & San Francisce railroad, lest $270, and A. H. Champliu, his clerk, $175. Mr. Champlin attempted te draw a re volver, but was admonished te keep quiet by one of the robbers putting a bullet through his coat sleeve. The ether pas sengers threw away their pocketbooks containing $1,500, when the stage was stepped, and recovered them after the robbers left. i m The Babe Betrayed Them. William H. Fairchild, who has borne several aliases and served terms in the pen itentiaries of Michigan and Ohie, was ar rested in Chicago, yesterday, for the mur der of an old man Richard French. It is alleged that French was enticed te Kansas by Fairchild 'and his wife in 1878, under pretenseef being taken care of by them, and was there 'murdered in cold blecd. The crime was disceveree by the chief of police of Teledo, Ohie, through the prat tling of Fairchild's little girl. A Contrast. ,. ' Baltimore Garette. A few years age no public man in the country was held in higher or mere een cral esteem than William M. -Evarts. Thoughtful member of both parties re garded him as a politician of elevated ami independent views, who if called upon te" fill an important cabinet position would net fail te exhibit the best virtues of the statesman and the patriot. Only four years age 3Ir. Evarts, in hi3 famous Centennial oration, breathed the lefty sentiment of one who placed his coau ceau try's geed above party weal or wee, and had he retired from public life at that mo ment he would have left behind the fairest of reputations. But unfortunately within six months thereafter he was called upon te defend before the bar of public opinion one of the gravest crimes against popular liberty that was ever committed the monstrous electoral fraud of 1870. With shameful alacrity Mr. Evarts descended from his lefty pedestal te wade in the mud and filth of that disgraceful struggle. As the advocate of Hayes before the electoral tribunal he labored with all the casuistry of the shrewdest and most unscrupulous of barristers, apparcntlyjfergetting altogether these elevated precepts of political moral ity which he had inculcated in his Centen nial oration of only a few short months before. Mr. Evarts's cause triumphed through forgery and theft. As his reward he secured the office of secretary of state under the fraudulent president, appar ently his connection with that outrage has dulled his conscience ; for we new find him apologizing for the very things which he once se earnestly condemned. In his speech in New Yerk en Wednesday night Mr. Evarts deliberately aud elaborately stulti fied himself by making the narrowest par t'sin argumentthathas yet emanated from any Republican speaker in this campaign. His address, in fact, abounded with state ments which arc maliciously false and un fair, and his reference te Mr. English was worthy of the meanest of stalwart editors. The worst of it all is that Mr. Everts knows perfectly well Jthat there is net the ghost of a chaance for the Republican cause, and that, therefore, his veluntary'surrender of his political virtue is as unnecessary, even en the score of self-interest, as it is base and wicked. Democrats have no cause te harass themselves ever Mr.Evarts'soeurse, however; for he himself has provided a con clusive answer te his own labored periods, and all Democrats need de in order te ex hibit his gross insincerity in vivid colors is te place his Centennial oration and his New Yerk speech side by side and then say te the peeple: "Loek upon this picture and en this."

Elaborate Preparation ler a tirand Event, The details for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of Balti mere are nearly completed, ilic decora tion of the city, it is believed, will be general, the entire population having joined in the effort te make it a grand suc cess. The arrangements for the proces preces sions include representations of almost every branch of industry, as well as so cieties and organizations, civil and military. The U. S. steamers Kcarsarge and Vanda- lia have been directed by the navy depart ment te take part in the celebration. Ex cursien tickets, geed from the 10th te the 20th inst., will be issued by the railroads te and from Baltimore, aud a "committee en public comfort" will have an office op posite the Sun building, where visitors de siring beard ana accommodation during celebration week can receive information. They mayor and city councils of Balti mere and Mr. Rebert Garrett, in behalf of the Baltimore & Ohie railroad, have given a special invitation te the venerable Peter Cooper, of New Yerk, te attend the appreacdiug celebration of Baltimore's 150th anniversary. In their letter of invi tation they say : " It is desired te testify net only the respect that is entertained for your personal worth and deservedly high character, but the deep sense of obligation for the service you rendered when, in the summer of 1830, yen demonstrated en the Baltimore & Ohie railroad, 'that it high curvatures'te we the words of chief en gineer, 'would net prevent the successful application of the locomotive engine,' and I although with our present lights we won der that such a demonstration was then deemed necessary, you are none the less entitled te the credit of being the pio neer in the application of steam te Ameri can railways." Should Mr. Cooper accept the invitation, the president's car " Mary land" will convey him from Jersey City te Baltimore, where he will be received with special honors and made the guest of the city and the railroad company. Answered. Hancock, in publicly declaring that he will, if elected, veto all bills looking te the payment of rebel claims, shows that ne understands hew much his party is dis trusted. Ne one has thought of asking Garfield or any ether Republican candidate te make such a declaration. Reading Timet and Dispatch. It's entirely unnecessary te ask General Garfield's views en the subject as .his record has been made se decidedly that none can misinterpret it. He voted for one hundred millions of Southern war claims, which were paid te that extent while the Republicans controlled Congress, and he couldn't declare new that all such bills would be vetoed if he should be elect ed president.

GEN. ADAM E. KING. EepubUcan .Meeting at the Court Heuse. There was a geed audience at the court house last niffht te hear Gen. Adam L. King, of Baltimore. The general is a nu ent speaker, and was listened te atten tively for two hours.. He began by divid ing the Democrats into three classes . rt War Democrats, Copperheads and Seuth ern Democrats. The first he praised high ly, and was surprised they should stay "in such cucsed bad company. In the second he included the great mass of Northern Democrats, and he denounced them with out stint, as "doughfaces, false te them selves te their country and te Ged." The third class he could excuse ; " the Southerners were educated en wrong principles and were very geed fellows and tar be it from me te say aught against them." He alleged that the Southern Democrats have the brain, skill and nerve of the party, and insisted that Hancock, it elected, would be powerless te resist their demauds and hence Southern claims would have te be paid. He justified the electoral fraud of 187P, and bitterly denounced the Tilden and Re form movement and asserted that the sup porters of Tilden were composed of the rcr worst elements of the country. On the tariff he was quite eloquent, but said nothing new. It was the old stock in trade argument. The bloody ishirt was net waved much, but the general said, "In the Seuth 10,000 men were killed for opinion sake and would rise up as witnesses before the bar of Ged en the last day." The general closed with an appeal te the old soldiers te rally areuud the flag. He spoke highly of Hancock, and re gretted that political principles compelled him te refuse the general his support. Of Gen. Garfield he said but little, aud never pretended te defend him against the many charges made by the Democrats. It was a well prepared, and well deliv ered speech, interwoven with touching ep isodes and witty illustrations, but it was without point or argument. The general knew his part well, for he "had been speak ing -10 days in Maine" and probably repeat ing the same thing. May the success he met in Maine attend him as he gees West ward te rally the boys. Had Mr. King's speech net been se long Hay Brown could have had a chance. But he hadn't; and as the audience preferred seeing the Democratic parade te hearing him, his explanation of why he brought S3.000 te Lancaster te secure instruc tiens for Grant and Quay had te be pest pencd.

Twe Hundred Mounted Men. It is no exaggeration te say that the (de monstration of the Democracy of Lancas ter, witnessed in this city last evening, was tbe most brilliant event of the kind that has ever been seen here. The present is confessedly the most exciting and enthn siastie campaign ever experienced here and however respectable the late Republi can parade was, it scarcely amounted te one half the number in line last evening, the first general turn-out of the city Democracy this year, which is yet likely te be paral leled by the same party before the cam. paign is ended. The uniform geed ap pearance of the men, the illumination of the city, the enthusiasm all along the route, the fireworks, and the admirable order preserved throughout,speak volumes for the efficient organization of the local Democracy aud the popular interest mani fested in their success. All afternoon yes terday there was a bustle throughout the city, occasioned by the active preparations going en in every quarter of the city, and by nightfall the movement of uniformed men toward headquarters could be seen in every ward. nag Presentation. Prier te the march of the Ninth ward club te the place of formatieu of the line, the club, headed by the Eden band, marched from the headquarters at Arneld Haas's saloeu around Lemen street, te the residence of Cant. Jacob Pentz, where the lady friends of the club had as sembled te present its members with a flag. The club was drawn up iu line ou West Lemen, joined by the club of Frank lin aud Marshall college, and, addressing them from the steps of Mr. Pentz's resi dence, Mr. W. 17. Ilcnsel presented te the Ninth ward club, in the name of the mem bers lady friends, a handsome bunting flag, eight feet by five, en a stafT. Mr. Elim G. Snyder, president of the club, received it iu a neat and eloquent address of thanks, and the club moved off with three cheers for the Democratic ladies of the Ninth ward. Formation of the Parade. In accordance with Cel. Fordney's direc tions, the clubs proceeded te the places of formation assigned them promptly at the appointed hour, and when the bugle seuuded for the advance every street be tween the depot aud Centre Square was a blaze of light. At the first note the "six teen big men," who were te lead the line, caught step with the music and marched quickly down North Queen te lead off iu the advance ever the route fixed.

Anether count at another point in the route by a prominent Republican in the city was 1,811 ; ether counts run from 1,794 te 1,860. In round numbers it may safely be asserted that there were 1,800 in line, of whom the col lege club, mostly non-residents, the 7th ward juveniles, tba visitors from near the city asd the hersesea from the country numbered abeat 350, leaving a net total of 1,550 actual Democratic voters of.Laneas ef.Laneas ter city in the parade. - As the precession' moved off through the dense crowd gathered in Centre square te see its start, past the Intelligences building, gaily decorated with Chinese lanterns, the fireworks committee, under direction of J. Lr Steinmetz, esq., sent a shower of Reman candles and rockets from the reef. Colored lights were burned at the corner, irradiating the square and the streets for squares around. The scene was one of rare brilliancy and enthusiasm, which was taken up and renewed at every point in the route. Frem the wagons, in tbe precession,with fireworks there was an incessant display and the multitude ou the curbstone made the air ring with shouts of greeting. The illumination was very brilliant all along the route, and as it would be tee lengthy te publish the list of all whose residences were lighted up, se it would be invidious te particularize among the hun dreds who vied, te the common advantage, in the brilliancy of their special decora tions. Flags, banners, portraits, mot toes, Chinese lanterns and rows of candles greeted one at every turn. Stately mansions and humble homes at tested te the equal fervor of tlieir occu pants in showing their zeal iu the geed cause. Helman's new houses en East King street ; Messrs. Hear and McNabb's, J. B. Kaufman's, Henry Wolfs, Mrs. B. Fitzpatrick's, Hugh Dougherty's, D. 31c Mullen's, James Stewart's, S. H. Rey nold's, S. P. Eby's, H. E. Slaymaker's, H. B. Swarr's, A. C. Flinn's, R. II. Brubak er's, N. Lightner's, H. E. Lcman's, P. C. Noet's 3Irs. Jehn Ruth's North Christian near Frederick, M. V. B. Cehe's, Peter McConemy's and many ethers were notable. Frederick street, between James and North Queen, was beautifully illuminated and there were rows of an almost uninterrupted succes sion en James and Mulberry of decorated houses. In Maner aud Derwart streets there seemed te be a universal decoration and some of the finest devices wrought in colored papers and with significant in scriptions were seen in the Eighth ward, which had geed reason te be proud of its boys last night. Their fine appearance, orderly marching and manly bearing at tracted general attention. The finest sight of the occasion was af forded when the parade filed out Maner street into West King and began its march toward Centre Square. The torches glit tered "like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid" as they came down the hill, aud when the calcium light was turned this direction it threw a golden haze ever the whole line, through which the precession moved en and reached the top of the East King street hill before the ether end had passed Mauer street corner. The splendid design of Cel. Fordney te show the whole line in one stretch was then manifest, and hundreds of delighted spectators applauded its successful execu tion. During the passage of the parade through the square there wasjanether gen eral display of colored lights and fireworks from the Intelligences building. This was repeated when the line counter marched te Centre square and the veterans drew up in line in the south side and re ceived the ether clubs who filed off te their respective headquarters in the best of geed order. The whole affair was characterized by promptness of action and completeness of detail that reflected credit en Commander Fordney, his staffs aud aids and the rank and file of the clubs. It was a great pageaut and had a royal welcome wherc- ever it displayed itself. - Ketes and lucldcuts. Peter Weeds bravely carried the Third ward banuer from oue end of the reute te the ether and no coon dared te molest him or make him afraid. Matthew M. Diggs, Ninth ward banner carrier, was also a notable figure in the line. Mr. Edw. Bookmyer, bugler of the parade, was bugler of Ce. I, of the 12th Pennsylvania cavalry, served in the army three ycars,and blew that same bugle at the battle of Gettysburg. Newton Lightncr, esq., hail his house handsomely illuminated, but, for some uuexplained cause, the gas went out just as the parade reached his residence and only the third story decorations were plainly seen. A remarkably large number of the pa raders wcre made the proud recipients of handsome floral testimonials at the hands of fair lady friends. Many of the bouquets wcre real beauties and added te the fine effect of the precession. The nebby button-helo bouquets of the Fourth ward club attracted considerable attention. A RUNAWAY ACCIDKNT.

Tbe Tobacco Market. -J. S. Gan&'s Sen Jc Ces monthly circu lar, speaking of the New Yerk market says: Notwithstanding the "Bearish" procliv ities of our manufacturers, and we may say nearly a total abstinence of expert de mand, a geed business has been done ; 1379 crop or all kinds that contain geed useful wrappers has been dealt in ana full figures were realized, particulars of which will be found in our list of sales below. We trust that none of our friends im agine that we favor high prices, en the contrary, for years we have tried te im press upon all the necessity of buying the crops at moderate figures, but alas, in vain; had such been done last season our mar ket would te-day present a different ap pearance, although at the present time with the segar trade flourishing aud man ufacturers fn but few instances supplied with 1S79 tobaccos, the outlook for dealers is enceuragiug. r ine goods must rule higher, whilst ter common and low grades the chances are poorer, and te all holders of the latter classes we say " de net miss any opportu nities te dispose of these sorts." Aneth r important fact looms up te the astonishment of many, namely the greatly overestimated yielding qualities of the 1879 crop ; this is, of course, an incentive te manufacturers te press prices, but en the ether hand a great benefit te holders ; without a large expert outlet, our surplus, at the time the 1S80 crop will be in condi tion te work, will by no means be as large as many predict. bupplv aud demand regulate all things, while statistics usually lead operators astray. Of the new crop ('SO), we can hardly speak definitely te-day the production has been very larce but of its quality ana soundness our reports are very conflicting. but rather mere untavorable than other wise. A Bully Whipped. This morning Jake Bcrtz, aloud-mouthed Republican bully of the Niuth ward, re ceived a geed treuueiug from a young Democrat named Harry Bable. Bcrtz be gan talking te an old man named Herr about the parade last night, anf became very abusive. Herr walked away from him, net desiring te quarrel. Bable was standing near by and he told Bcrtz that he ought te be ashamed te talk in that style te an old man. At this Bert z became very angry and asked Bable whether he wanted te take Herr's part. Bable told him that he did net want te fight. Bertz walked up an alley near where they had been talking and drew a mark with his feet, at. the same time bantering Bable te light. He asked the latter whether he would clear him of the law in case he whipped him. Bable still said he did net wish te fight, but assured him that there would be no law suit if he did. Bertz was net satisfied and appeared te be anxious te tight, se he walked ever aud struck Bable. who received the blew en one arm and knocked Jake down with the ether hand. He allowed him te get up, and when he renewed the fight he again sent him te grass. He then proceed ed te whip him which he did in a very artistic manner and in a very short time. A number of persons witnessed the fight and all t-aid that it served Bcrtz exactly right. A Distiui;uis!ied Litterateur. Bosten Transcript. Mr. Osca i F.

Further rartlcularnCeiiecriilug It Since yesterday we have learned addi tional particular, concerning the death of young Swisher, who was silVecr.tDd in a limekilu. en the farm of Isaac Mont gomery, near Quarryville yesterday. It appears that he and his father, Patrick Swisher, were engaged at picking "core" from the top of the kiln, out of which about 25 bushels of lime had been taken muhe days before. While at work the lime suddenly sank and car ried the young man with it. He was com pletely covered with lime, and when he was taken from the kiln he was found te be dead.
