Some of the Greenback conventions row against the ourrent of their doctrines by repudiating tho expressions of their more advanced leaders. This is useless labor. The most pronounoed greenbaoker has not uttered a sentiment, however outrageously full of communism, that does not logically follow from the principies held by the most conservative one. In fact the very flrst principio, namely that a bond payable at a certain date with interest, shall be paid ia full by another note, drawing no interest, and never payable, is only a way of seizing and confiscating private property, and does not differ in principie from effecting "land limitations," by seizing the excess any man may have, above a certain quantity, and giving it to a tramp who has none. We remember when the new EepubIican party used to repudiate the abolitionists in the same way, but we all know the result. Could the "NationalLabor-Greenback party" obtain the same power, nothing would be able to restrain it from atteinpting to carry out a general overthrow, and re-orgauization of society. Success would compel it to carry its principies to their logical conclusions. - Tpsilanti Sent nel. - Tho school house in District No. 4, in Texas Kalamazoo county, was set on fire and burned on the 4th.
