We present this record to the people Of Ohio for
their consideration. With all these difficulties and
debts thrown upon us by the men who had squan-
dered the money, the affairs Of the State have
been well managed, and every interest carefully
guarded. The total amount Of taxes levied las!
year, as shown by the report Of the Auditor Of
State, was s944,997 81 less than that Of the
year previous, and the taxes of this season will be
less than they last year. The actual expenditures
for 1855 we're sSso,665 II less than that Of the
1855. which was the last year Of LOcofOcO rule
although there was no Legislature in that year,
whereas there was a session with all its atten
dant expenses in 1856.

In the Democratic State of South Carolina the

call good society down there. These are stubborn
facts, but lOcofoco politicians have happy faculty

THE PLUNDERINGs OF THE TREASURY
FACTS FROM THE RECORDS.

The late Developments relative to the manage
ment Of tho Treasury Of this State are but fit
finish to the series offrauds and pupderings which
have dsgraced the administration of the LOcOfocO
party in Ohio. They show that corruption is not
confined 10 CSs or two departments, but that it
extended to almost every branch of the State ser.
vice. Let US for moment refer to facts which
have become part Of our history.
For a series Of years prior to 1856, the LOeofoeo
party had entire control Of all branches of The
State government. Under the biennial system
there was no session of the Legislature in the win
Ter Of 1s54-5. During the year 1855 the officers
Of State should have conducted the affairs Of gov
eminent with the appropriations of the previous
wear. But, with presentment that this was
their lest grab at the Treasury these men squan-
dered the peoples money to an unprecedented
amount By reference to the official reports the
following facts are made manifest:
The total amount of expenditures OF l864-6
beyond the appropriations, and which were cl
course totally unauthorized, was S6l7,S7S. II
was in substance aud reality debt of that amount
contracted by the LOcOfoco oficialsand was thrown
upon the Republicans to pay. Our opponents had
spent the money, squandered it, stole it, used il
up in various ways and we were left the privilege
of coming in and footing their bills. The details
of this expenditure are given in the message o
Gov. Chase, January 9Th. 1857, and in the repor
of the Auditor of State, and are as follows:
Disbursements of 1856, to pay debts incurred
prior to Nov. I5 1866.

Tn addition, the Auditor of State reports that
there are from 100000 to $4,000 of debts
vet unpaid. Ofthis sum. 100000 are claims for
work upon the State H,use.
Such are the sums squandered by our opponents
'beyond the amounts appropriated by the last Lo'
.cOfocO Legislature. 1t was legacy bequeathed
to the new party, not in the shape Of cash to ex

AN APRIL SNOW STORM Northeast storm,
accompanied with rain and sleet, commenced
here on Monday the Goth, about9 O'Clock A. NJ,
and continued through the day. In the conrse
of the night the rain changed to snow, and at
sunrise on Tuesday morning, there was some two
or three inches of snow upon the ground, the
wind blowing fresh from the Northeast. The
storm continued with undated violence through

judge that from eight to ten inches Of snow had
fallen. Out door business was entirely suspend

from Salem, Mass, under date of April 20, 1921,
says:

covered with snow, which had fallen during the
preceding night. This was but the prelude 10 one
OF the severest storms of the past winter. 1t re-

most of the succeeding night, with a violent

The DIANA GRAPE.-Dear Sir Il send
you painting of the Diana Grape, believing
it will be acceptable to the readers of the Hor.
ticultarist, and particularly to those who are
wishing for grape " earlier than the Isabel
la, and better than the Catawba."
Seven years since, the exquisite perception
and unerring judgment of A. J. Downing,
after two seasons acquaintance with its fruit,
unhesitatingly pronounced it the best of
American grapes" Time has not only affirm.
ed the decision, but more fully developed its
surprising excellences and beauty. In habit
and appearance, it strongly resembles the Ca
tawba. and is undoubtedly the offspring of
that fine grape, but is much more vigorous
glover, and, in consequence of ripening its
wood much earlier, it is much more hardy,
and its fruit is not, like the Catawba, liable
to occasional mi ury by "rot." To exhibit its
excellence, it requires such treatment as all
other grapes need soil deeply worked, dry,
and generously, but not excessively enriched,
tull exposure to the sun, and breadth of bor-
der propoIuoned to its rampant growth. 1t is
not dainty, but does not tolerate i'll usage
Its berries are slightly less in size than
those of Catawba, of the same globular form
punches very compact and heavy-conieal-
not properly shouldered; but The main bunch
has generally small one appended by long
branch In color, itresembles its parent, but
Is subaued by delicate tinge Of lilac, which
gives an exceeding loneliness of tone that
seems to invite the expectation of its superior
flavor. The berries adhere strongly to the
peduncle, which is woody, and consequently
fitted for long keeping, which is one ofits val
liable characteristics.
Towards the last Of August, in this vicinity
(ifty miles North Of New York;, it has made
considerable progress in ripening, and has be-
come "good . to eat, being very sweet and
juicy, with but little toughness or acidity in
its pulp. AT this period. it has something of
the ioxiness that characterizes the Itabella and
Catawba. This is fully two weeks before the
Isabella arrives at the eatable stage, and be-
lore the Catawba has begun to color
AS the season advances, it parts with all of
its toxiness and the acidity in its pulp, but re-
tanning vestige of its toughness scarcely per-
ceptibe, it becomes exceedingly sweet, juicy,
rich, and vinous. and delightfully."- aromatic
In pure, high, vinous flavor, it greatly sur
passes the Catawba, in its best state, and ri
pens two degrees oflatitude further North than
the Isabella. Although it ripens early it is
not injured by hanging late on the vines, and
severe frosts destroy none OF its vinous life or
aroma. C, w. &,
