United states Prisoners.
The Attorney General has decided
that hereafter all United States priso.
uers sentenced in the Western States
for life or long term of years, shall be
taken to Albany, N. Y. Hitherto they
have been distributed among the
prisons of the various States east and
west. All the criminals in the New
England and the Southern States viii
be sent to Albany. In the Middle
States existing contracts will be car
ried out. The reason for this action IS
an arrangement with the Albany an
thorities to maintain the criminals fol
their labor and without any expense tt
the Government. Attorney General
Devens has been in negotiation to this
end for several years, and his sue
cess will save thousand OF dollars to
the Government.

An Unsafe Prop.

The Greenback press and speakers are
branded as false prophets because they
prophesied that resumption would produce
great disturbance in the money market,
but TO show how we'll their prophesies were
grounded, it is only necessary to cite ad-
mitied facts.

says:
The bank. received large amounts of
money from the treasury on account of the
gold arriving from Europe; but- at the
same time they paid considerable into the
treasury for 4 per cent. bonds, and send
large amounts of currency to the interior.
II it had not been for these arrivals of gold
from Europe there would have been a
great disturbance in the money market.
| Nothing then, but the failure of the
crops in Europe, and an abundant harvest
in America, which no human sagacity or
wisdom could have foretold, prevented all

advocates saw impending. And of this

We understand the Hon. Curtis
Trovinger passed through this morn
ing en- route for New Lexington to
attend the Democratic meeting to be
held there this evening. This would
be fitting opportunity for him to
elevate his symmetrical form and
open his charmingly expressive
mouth and tell the people why he
voted for the Tramp Law to oppress
a poor, unfortunate class, nine out of
ten of which are his superiors, men,
tally and physically. He might, also,
explain why he voted against the Per-
kins School bill, the object of which
was to reduce the price of school
books by taking the monopoly out of
the hands of ring. He also, while
on the stand exposing his intellectual
countenance, might state why he
lodged the vote on the New Straits
vile school house bonds, and at the
same place and time he should, with
clarion voice, tell the crowd why he
voted to discriminate in freights; and
then he should wind up with his rec
ord on the local option bill. In all
sincetity, we ask the citizens of Perry
county-a county that is attracting
the attention of the whole State in re-
gard to its wealth and great future
if Mr.. Trovinger is fit man to rep
resent this county? Has he been
anything but mere tool, a regular
stoughton-bottle, sitting there waiting
to be told how to vote, doing the bid
ding Of his superiors, whether right
or wrong, not daring or knowing what
or when to do unless told by leader

OHIO STATE PLATFORM.
Of the National Greenback Labor Par
ty, Adopted at Olumbus, June
4th 1879.

WHEREAS, We recognize the deplora-
our country as something appalling to con-
template, and unhesitatingly charge this
suffering and degradation as the result OF
the legislation of the past quarter century
being solely in the interest of a moneyed
aristocracy and corrupt corporations.
We hold both the Republican and
Democratic parties equally responsible for
the nefarious and ruinous policy that has
been pursued, and point to their record as
full and complete evidence to the people
that it is folly to hope for relief from eth.
er, and therefore declare:
S1st. In the recognition and distribution
of civil and political rights and privileges,
there should be no favoritism on account
of birth, color, creed or financial condition
2. The General Government should
issue an ample volume of full legal tender
currency to meet the business needs Of the
country and to promptly pay all it's debts.
3. The funding of the National debt
into long time bonds to be paid over and
over in the form of interest, absorbing the
wealth of the nation, making business
prosperity an impossibility, reducing the
laborer to condition of servile slavery
and rendering the welfare of Ethe nation
subservient to the interests of the bond
holding class, is an outrage 30 monstrous
that any political party that sanctions it is
unworthy the support of intelligent and
honest men.
4. We demand the immediate calling
n and payment of all United States bonds
in full legal tender money.
s. We are inhexibly opposed to the
issue by Government of interest bearing
bonds Of any description, for any purpose
whatever.
6. The National banking system should
be Immediately abolished.
7. A tariff amply suficien, for the
protection of American industries should
be maintained until true financial system
| may have shown it to be unnecessary to
tax labor for the support Of capital.
g. All internal revenue taxes should be
dispensed with and graduated income
tax be substituted.
g. While any resident of another
country of sufficient intelligence and en-
terprise to desire to better her or his con
dition by making q home on American
soil, must be welcomed, the importation
of servile labor from any quarter, under
any pretense whatever, to compete will
American free labor, should be prohibited
under the severest penalties.
10. That the elevation of labor to il
proper sphere and the education of tn
Iaasses TO correct appreciation of It's i'm
portance in the affairs of :men should b.
one of the principal aims and objects o
this party.
IL. We demand an equalization O
bounties for soldiers.
II. That prison labor should be utiliz
ed by the State.
13. That eight hours shall be a lega
days work.
IA. We denounce all reference TO on
late civil war of a malicious and insult
ing nature as revolutionary and who'll
inconsistent with the principles of fret
government and antaeonistic to the resto
ration of the old motto, "United we stan,
divided we fall"

be observed that as it appears in this pa
per, il occupies not more than half the

gave il. The swindle is obvious, and we
forego further comment, believing that the
tax payers will readily see it.

the anniversary celebration in this
city on the evening of April 25th
The only other occasion when 20
eminent member of the Order
visited Los Angeles was in 1869,
when Mr.. Farnsworth, of Tennes-
see, at that time Grand Sire, was
present, we believe, on a similar oc-
casion. The anniversary exercises
will take place at the hall of the
Order, and will consist of an grafton
by the Grand Sire, reading and
music by some of the most eminent
amateurs of the city. The celebra-
ton will conclude with q grand
ball at Turn Verein Hall on the
Monday evening following.
We are Informed by gentleman
critical and learned in wines that
much of the clamor against the
old Mission grape as basis for the
vintage Is undeserved. Wines of
a rare excellence have been made
in Los Angeles county from this
grape, and can be again If the Wig
nsrons will simply seek to inform
themselves of the right methods.
One thing is certain, viz, a local
wine and brandy revival in Los
Angeles county is inevitable in the
near future, from the simple reason
that the Eastern demand, with all
the present transportation draw
backs, is increasing, day by day, to
such an extent that there is now
no properly made wine in the coun-
ty which has not been contracted
for. AS Los Angeles county has
the capacity to make twenty mil
lions of dollars worth of wines and
brandies yearly, her delivery is not
far ahead, especially with several
continental railways below the
snow belt pointing her way, and
assuring cheaper facilities for the
products of both her vineyards and
orange groves.

Adopting English Customs and Fashions The

[Appleton's Journal.1
The etiquette Of English houses
differs very little from that of
American houses. About twenty
five years ago American gentleman
began to dress like the English, and
since that time they have also
adopted most Of the English social
customs. The American ladies

American ladies are only eXoep-

fashions so quickly. 1t requires
two seasons to introduce new
mode de Paris into England; a
single season suffices for the United
States. The distance between Paris
and London, in fashion as in every
thing else, is about two years. But
London sets the fashion for Amer-
can gentlemen. "The fellows who
