A piece of coin worth the Govern- mentstamp on it was the true standard of value. However, the Government stamp did pot constitute the value of this plece of coin; i merely certified to its value, indicating that it contaiued a certain number of grains of metal of a certsin fincness of quality. The necessity for a specie basis was impera- 1ive, because specie was the only medium of ex- change.

As for €S 10 the front s¢ats, and the proceedings | the disreputible Democrats, none appeared, and no unnleasqntyow marred the proceedings. £ Guovrge Schillioz, the Socialistic candidate or Coneress in the Second District, was the * first speaker. He referred to the causes, social and political, whichejus- tifled, in his opinion, the oranization” of the Socialistic Labor party, and denied the charges urged against it that f aimed at a de- struction of property, the aisruption of socicty, the breakine down of the family relation, and the turning upside down of things generally. What they did desire most of all, outside of a reduction of the hours of labor, which would only be 4 temporary remedy for existivg evils, was the ‘complete aonihilation of the competi- tive system or private capitalistic system of production. [Applause.] After another campslen song the meeting was addressed by Mr. J. T. Morgan, who criticised the other political parties for devoting so much attention to the election of a Sherifl, and solittle attention to the importance of electing honert law-makers. ‘The reason for this was, in his opinion, quite characteristic of tlie capitalistic classes, consisting as 1t did in the desirc o ob- tain the spoils of office. Having exoressed bimself on this point, Mr. Morean proceeded to a-zeneral discussion of the subject of labor re- forms and the greenback issne. He freely de- nounced the theories of the Greenback party as a clitterine baable intended to please the laboring-men of the country, and endeavored to show that it was not the want of the greenback, but the tyranny of a universal capitalistic system, that had caused the - misery and poverty of the working classes. {n Ireland it wag 8 few Lord Leitrims.

They apparewtly did, to judze from the ap- plause which followed. “The speaker urged them not to vote at the cowmlng election for .a contipuation of this system of slavery,—this cursed system (hat was responsible for unsewered streels in the DoOr quarters, for the fact that a Biler avenue ana a Wabash avenue were close together, and for untold ¢vils, They should protest arainst it by joining the Socialistic Lavor party, by stand- ing shoulder to shoulder with that orzanization, and by rasing the Red Fiag, emblematic of a universal brotherhood, wnd typical of the blood of the human beart. [Tremendous applause.] With the laboriug people united, not all the Gatlinz guns of the Board el Trade, nor the power of the Emperor of Russin, nor of B g:;srck, could stop the progress of tie Socialistic idea. Mr. Moremn sat down amidst deafening ap- plause.

They had issued a fiat that all candidates who had not paid their assess- ents-ub to noon.yesterday'should -be hounced from the Greenback ticket, and nevermore would receive ‘Brick” Pomeroy’s and Billy MeNally’s praise. ‘They had fived an assess- ment as follows: Sheriff Kern, $500. e paid his fee like a little Major. Members of Congress, - $200 each. Little Doolit- tle shelled out two $100 bills The Exccutive Committee smiled. County Commissioners $100 each. Horton paid up, and he was voted a good fellow. Mulloy contrib- uted $10, and he was voted a traud. The Clerk of the Appellate Court was put down for $100. Olat Reichel was the mav. He pleaded pov- eriv. The Legislative candidates were assessed $25 each and the Senatorizl 350. The only other Congressional candidate besides Doglittie who allowed himself to be bled is Condon.

Olaf Reichel made a lonz speceh, pleadine his cause 1o the thirtecn and a half men. He told them of his joys and sorrows, of bis trials and tribulations; all about the flood, Jonan and Noah, and the fossils on the Democratic Cam- paign Cominittee, e cried for succor as out in the wilderness. He was kept on for charity's sake, and allowed to cheek it through on gen- eral principles. ‘The Chair_avpointed Bergh, McCarthy, Cochrane, and Rocheford a Special Committee to see the candidates who badn't bled. During the afternoon Condon and Kern picked 3 bonc. e sent Kern the following polite nate: Chartes fern, Feg.: Please take notice that at 4p. m. this Sotarday, Nov. 2, 1878, I shall de- mand the removal of your name from the Green- back tickets for the acts of your Deputics, clerks, and Balliffs.

He reported back that it was received with “‘sneers,” snd there was a trial in the . cockloft of 77 Clark strcet at 4 o'clock. Condow’s witnesses ‘were examined, and they all testified that Kern and his friends said that Condon was crazy. Condon_was angry, but the Committee dcclded tolet Kern, Condon, and Kehoe alone. Tliey adjourned until 8 o’clock last night, and then a man named Clark tried to get up a quarrel with McNally, and, filing in_that, endeavored to have a fight with Tie TRIBUNE reporcer. After sitting down og the man Clark, the Com- Imittee adjourned until 10 o’clock this mor: when the assessment collection will be insisted on. 1LOOK OUT FOR REPEATERS. Tuformation has been received at Republican Headquarters, from a gource the reliability of which is unquestioned, to theeflect that the pestiferous gangs of repeaters who bave cursed this city for some years past with their ores- ence and their nefarious practices arc organiz- ing in full force with the intcution of getting ju zh%ir work at the polis next Tuesday.” The io- Tormation states definitely that thicre are on an average 100 illezal voters remistered from Tacant lots and other **sufde™ residences in nearly every precinct in the city, and particu- larly those in the First, Second, Ninth, Teath, and Eighteenth Wards. There is also in posscs- sion of the Couaty Campaign Committee a list of over 100 of ihe gang, and there is every as- surance that they will be iwatched, and that their attempts at any-illezal voting will be in- glorionsly nipped in the bud. The idea among the gany is that a light vote will be polled, and that by etting fn 2 emal votes through the repeating schemes with which they are con- versant; they may be gble to foree the election {ue way i which they would have it co. - It be- hooves all good citizens, of whatever political following, to keep a_ strict watch on any at- temupts at this sort of work, and, -by prevent- ing its cohsummation, to rid this election of a blight whict ias attached 1o many in the past.

Mr. Keogh sald that the Executive Committee had lnsulted the First Ward by.this action, and that, too, while they were ali working hard for the eneral ticket.

The respect paid 10 courage by the warifke tribes of the Anglo-Indlan border is strikingly illnstrated by an episode of Napler's famous campaizn fn Seinde. A detachment bad been seut against one of the Dravest of the native tribes, almost every warrior of which bore the proof of his valor i the great thread tied around his wrist,a baage more prized by the **niil men " than the Cross of the Legion of Houor by a French soldier. In the course of the skir- mishing that eusued, 20 Enclish Sergeant and eleven of his mes, mistaking tho orders giveu them, advanced up a parrow guily, waere they suddenly found themselves confrontea by more thon 100 of the enemy. The gallant handtul charged without a moment's hesitation, and were slain to a man, after killine ncarly thirty of their onponents. “When the last Eniishman had fallen, the cld Chief of the trive, vne of the most_renowned warriors of Northern India,- turned to bis men, and sald: % How sav ye, my s0ns¢ were those Feringhees [‘Enmpmnafbmv- men®’ Ine bravest we bave ever mot,"” an- swered the mountaincers with owe voice. “Then,” cried the old mao, taking the precious thread from his own wrist and_fastening it 1o that of the dead Serzeant, “ bind the wreen thread upon them all, and oot sround one srist only, but around both. Unbelievers_tho: the¥ be, there are no braver souls in Heaven; and it may be that wheu God sees how we have decorated them He will grudge such beroes to Shaitaun [Satan] and give thein a place beside His throne.” ————— Origin of Cards. ‘The orizin of cards {s wrupt in obscurity. Neither the Bible nor classical writers bave any allusion, reprimand, or account of cards aud card-playing; castivg lots and dice seem to have been the only gumblivg methods known to Greck, Jew, and” Roman sports. Some claim that the Chinese and Hindoos were -the inventors of cards. Certain it I3 that cards and card-playing are of great antiquiry among these ‘peoples, but thelr cards and games bear littia or no resembianee to the cards of civilized peaple. The better opinion is that they were brought into Spain by the Moors, and thence carried to France, Italy, and Englaad. The stmfluil{ of nomenclature corroborates this view, as wefl us the fact of their simultancous introduction. ‘The cards of Hindoostan have no queen, sumd the king has a0 umbrella over his head: as an insienia of royalty, while the vizier (thera is ouv jack) is ropresented as seated on a borse, camel, or tizer. The cards of the Chinese are called siche-pae,” or paper tickets. Three are called superior cards, ‘The rest are in suites of niuw, and the entlre pack hos only tbirty cards. Per- Dbaps the earliest record of card-pliying 13 that recorded in the Staatbuch of Augeberg, 1275, which gays, ** King Rudolpe spent much time fn. splaying cards.”” It was not until the fifteenti century that Germany cut muchifigure In the card busiuess.
