The Ohio Greeubacka.

COLUMBUS, Sept. 12.-About 40 gentlemen.
representing various parts of Ohio, met here to-
day as greenback convention After cousid-
cradle discussion it was decided not put state
ticket ia the field Gen. Samuel Cary was
present. and spoke against state ticket, claim
ing that as many of the prominent greenback
men of the state had participated in the late
Democratic convention which adopted green
back plank iE its platform it would be unwise
to 90 back on that platform. Reuben Clark of
Mahoning county, and G. E. Edison of Preble,
were chosen electors at large, aud committee
was appointed to appoint the other electors.
Re % outious were adopted favorine the restora-

out theology and where we should be glad to
have the opportunity of beating little into
you" "Ah, sir, said the Professor, 'If were
here should give you novel theology, If not
so sound" 81 have no doubt of its being
sound" replied the doctor. Finally the pecu-
liar construction of the seats in the theologi-
cal department suddenly seemed to strike the
English apostle of evolution, and be immedi-
ately evolved this from his inuer conscious
ness: "You seem to have twist in the desk
appendages to the seats, see, DOCTOR 'Yes;
bat 1T is not so bad as the twist which you put
into the occupants, and which we are trying to
work out. II hope we keep you employed"
said Prof. Huxley, and the laughing admis-
sion that they did was taken as truce.

Heavy FOrgeries.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 12.-Reports have been cir
culating here since Sunday that heavy for.
gerry had been committed ON one of our city
banks. 1t now appears that a young man
formerly living in Howard county, in this state,
but now doing business here, forged the names
of the proper officers to some blank Howard
county bonds and borrowed money ON them as
collateral. From one bank in this city the
forger is said to have obtained upwards of
$50, 1000, but this is not definitely known. 1t is
known, however. that he got $500 here on
1900 worth of bonds and it is believed he
raised some SIS 900 in one of the eastern cities,
Supposed to be New York. The bonds were pro.
cured from Studley & Co. of this city,
who had printed the bonds nfor Howard Co,
but it appears tt plate had not been destroyed.
Under what representations the bonds were oh.
tained has not transpired. 1t is said the young
man intended to take the forged bonds up, be
having issued them merely to meet business
emergency. At all events the bank here has
been made good by the forger himself and there
will be no prosecution.

Reductions in the Post Ofice Department..
WASHINGTON. Sept 12.-The reductions in
the appropriations for the PostiOfice Depart
ment are so large that the Postmaster General
will be compelled to send circulars this week to
300 towns which have made application for
money-order offices, stating that owing to re-
duced appropriations, their requests cannot be
granted. Considerable force is necessary to
conduct the book keeping of this branch of the
service. The House has SO reduced the num-
Der of clerks that it is scarcely possible to keep
up books for the number of offices now exist
ing 1t will be necessary to reduce expenses in
connection with the dead letter Office service,
owing to the same cause. 1t is probable that
the Postmaster General will discontinue the
return of dead letters which do not contain
money. This is the only branch of the service
that can be reduced without diminishing the
revenue.
