“CONNECTICUT POLITICS, The Greenback Craze in the Nutmeg State. PICTURE OF PERPLEXED POLITICIANS. Remarkable Interview with an Ex-Governor. The Land of Steady Habits Be- fogged in Inflation. BOERS Nuw Haven, Sept 13, 1378. The news from Maine has been a great godsend to the greenback party in this State, It has stiffened Up ite vertebrwe and made it carry {ts bead high aud hopeful, “It ia a bigger party to-day by many bun- dreds than it was a week ago, and its Jeaders talk of electing their State ticket and controlling, or at least holding, the balance of power in the Legisiature. The Pilgrim fathers found no more barren soil to sustain themselves, when they skipped off the Mayflower at Piymouth Rock and tanded in Massachusetts, thin did the greenback pioneers who settled down here a few years ago to sow the seeds of their financial ber- egies, with the hope of seeing them grow up and flour- \sn like the elm trees that surround and Adorn Yale College, rhe people of the State of steady habits—cutest people avywhere— were tho last, it was thought, in the country by gene admission to be caught by the Plausible theories of the greenback evangelists, These would do well enough for the crude, uncultured grangers of the West, but for the proudly intellectual, Bel!-poised and independent-thinking citizens of this sonceited little Commonwealth, suo an idea was ab- surdity itself, No more conservative community in the countyy could be selected to experiment upon with such @ financial innovation. It is made up of a variety of industries, and in the thousands of mills and factories that cover the soil of the State the pres- ence of capital ig seen and felt, In Maine, where tho Peopie are chiefly engaged im agricultural pursuits, there ig no such sitivenoss to the agitation of the money question, A couple of hundred mill- fons more, oF less, injected into tho’ pros- ent volume of paper currency would cause no con- cern to the bucolic mind, but to the army of factory owners and employors in this Szate, the prices of whose daily productions and the wages of whose help ‘would be at once affected by inflation and u rise in the tate of gold, the question has a most direct and seri- ousimport., Nevertueless, the greenback movement has taken root in Connecticut, vot only among people of the working and small trading classes, but among largo and wealthy manufacturers, until it bas become she one great source of talk and speculation among reflecting men, The politicians of both parties hardly know what to say in prosence of this new factor io politics, SENATOR EATON’S MISTAKE.

If We are to succeed in this State,” continued His Houor, “wo must recognizo facts, and this party is a tact, though not a surprising one.” “Do you think, Mr. Mayor,’?

He instanced tho parabie of the good Samaritan and tue Good Shepierd, wi lett the ninety-oime sheop to seek the lust one. The poor and unfortunate man wallowing in the gutters was a brother in Christ, stamped with Ais image, aud that was enough to enlist our feelings of compassion and urge us to put forth every endeavor to rescue him from rain and degradation.
