In prool of these allegations of the history anil acts of past political parties, wo submit to tlio pcoplo tho following fuels: They have established a system of finance am! ospionago, making tho rich richer and tho poor pooror, which has already forced tho toiling millions into pauperism and aorvitude to a monied oligarchy more exacting in its demands and cruelly oppressive in its operations than any form of civiliied despotic government recorded on the pago of the history of tho world. They Live created a mnltitudo of new of ficers and sent among tho people swarms of ollicial thieves to cat out their substancc.corrnpt rcpreiwnlativos untl the people in furlhoronco of their schemes to rob, plunder and oppress tho tho people ol their leisure They have rendered the military independent of and superior to tho civil power by dissolving Houses of Itcprcscntutivos nt tho point of tho bayonet, for op posing invasions on the rights of the people, and the rights of tho States, imprisoning cil irons In military prisons without trial by jury, or even a mili tary court martial. They have Im posed liuitleiistimo taxes on the people without their consent ; abolished our most vnlnablo laws and radically changed tho fundamental powers of our own free government. J iiey nave destroyed our cominerreand prostrated tho industries of tho people ny en couraging tho exportation of our precious metuls to foreign countries, thereby preventlnrr, even if desirable, n return to specie payment ; increased the premium on gold to such sn extent as to greatly enhance the price of tho necessaries oi 1110, winlo at the same time reducing the price of labor below the standard paid for It In (Jroat Brit ain. Theso and many other charges nt high crimes and misdemeanors which might bo onumorutod havo been perpetuated upon a fruo people until ornearance nas oeasea to ue a vinuo. 1. That this government is a com pact between its citiions, not a corpo ration as designing monopolists and politicians would make us believe ; that all have equal interests in the compact and equal rights under it,and should enjoy equal rights In Its man' ngomcnt. 2. J list the only safety to tho la boring classes is in restoring this gov eminent to tho solid principles bo quoathod to us by our fathers, the So nior cons ot u, and to tho ond ol pre- pi., nig tue Tiny iu tuia, we tun dorse the pro.xjsed conference at Cin cinnatl, September, 1875, as brlgtfiajly pinnnoq Dy iioraee u. nay, ot Jow York, and modified mid adopted by tho Anti-Monopoly Convention held at Harrisbiirg, i'a., March 2. a and 4, 1875, and we advise all workinir men and womon in this country to givo it tneir eorutai support. 3. That wo consider the present fi nancial system as the potent cause of the present industrial derangement and depression of trade and commerce, as well as tho causa of the serfdom ol labor to capital, and that wo consider us on tiro abolition und the substitution of an unlightonod system of financiul management in harmony with the in terests of tho producing massos. of ub soluto importance and us tho only means of averting coming disaster to mo industrial and commercial interests. That in the name. of Almighty (iod, lor ine sane ol common humanity, lib erty and decaying independence, wo appeal io our brother working men throughout this land in all avocations, to arouse and unite und act tor our common safety against tho power of monopolies, tlio growing power of ag gregated capital, and tlio threatened further enslavement of labor, by using their ballot to placo in otllco men from our own ranks, imbued with our idois, tiuigni in our principles, schooled in our youth, and through them and our own ett'orU, backed by intelligence and honesty of purposo, wo muy eventual ly curb tbo power that is now crush ing us und robbing us of our vested rights hulonging Ui a free people. That we believe tho time bus coioo when tho interests of labor demand the pro fessional oflieo seeker should he cast asido, and when the producing musses themselves should take Into their hands tho administration of governments. tho making of lows, and the dictation and execution of such measures and policies in finances, trado and internal development as our interests and the interests ot tho people of the nation ticmand. 4. That wo deem it the true policy of our order, for the present, to leave m. question it government rovonuo lo tue dtlterout cougresaionul districts. when the pcoplo themselves can have a better opportunity to decide tor their own interests. 5. That this is a irovcriiiiiont of tho icoplo, for tho pcoplo and bv the Poo- de, and whenever a representative of tlio pcoplo lads to represent their wish os ho should promptly resign, and any representative found vuiltv of accent ing a bribe or engaged in Credit Mo bilier or other steals, or increasing his own salary at the expense of the peo ple should be branded on tho cheek as a thiol and lorover thereafter be barred from holding any position of honor, trust or profit, and turned over to the scorn and contempt of every honest person. Ii. 1 hut this convention and order can have no affiliation with any politi cal movement inaugurated, managed and manipulated by any class of poli ticians who base their hopes of suc cess upon a singlo issuo, and who are not openly anil bonantfoly opposed to all oppressive and unjust corporate monopolies, railroad or otherwiso. 7. 1 hat it is with sincere regret that wo look upon tho sufferings and desti tution of the labor-producing clusses ot this Republic caused by the finan cial panic, and wo do most emphati- ally declare that tho veto ol Presi dent (irant, at the dictation of tho Jow York gold ring, ot the currency bill passed by the last Congress, has boon the cause of continuing our fi nancial arrangement and the suffer ings of the toiling masses. B. 1 hat the omcials ot this Statu in oncouraging the toilers of this Com monwealth to enter tlio military ser vico for tho purpose of shooting their fellow toilers, at tho arrogant demand of ovcrgrowu monopolies, who nro itriiggliug for their tiod-given rights to earn bread tor thoir suffering fiimi- los. are deserving ot tho severest cen sure of all good citizens. v. that the state hxecutivo Com- niilfo, if in its judgmont it should think proper, is authorized to call a Stato Convention, invitinir to its coun cils representatives of all labor associ ations, reform and furniers associa tions in tho State, and place in nomi nation candidates for (iovornor and State Treasurer. How Boss (Jramt Provides kor his Relations. The President somo timo ago gave bis brother, Orvillo L. Grant, a monopoly of trading prlviligos ovor nroad oxiont ol the Indian Torri orv. A Bismarck f Dakota Territorvi letter says Orvillo L. (.rant Is Interested not only in all the Indian agencies, but in somo of the military traderships also, me proms oi winch are simply Immense. The letter referred to sums up some of tho Presidential brother's sources of income, as follows: "Orvillo U (Irant receives $:100 per month for his trad ing privileges at Fort Pock ; Cheyonne Agency and Standing Jlock are worth such as much more ; Ilorthold pays 1150 per month, and Kort Steven son I UK) ; Forts A. Lincoln and Huf'ord are each worth f 100 per month. Tho piofils at each of those posts will reach ?u,uuu per annum, the sales ot whiskey nlono, at twenty-five cents a drink, for a wook after payday will average 1500 nor day, and sometimes reach !00. ForU Kico. Rullv and ltandall. the latter a rnrv imivnHfliit post, are also controlled by the ring; and lako it all in all, Orvillo L. Grant has about as good a thing as tho Pres ident In tho way of an Income." Trnly, it s nice to oe a rrcsnientn brother, especially If that President bo such a generous soul (wilh other peoples money) as riysscs 8 Grant. Ono of the saddest thin-ra aliout human nature le, that a man may guide others in the path of life without walking in It himself; that He may lie a pilot and yet a cast away.

Uy this they moan that whut are called tho "liiU'stutu .Laws of tli State of Pennsylvania mako a suf ficiently fair and proper disposition of tue property or a,y person who dies "intostnnto" that is to say without having made a will. lu general tonus tins is truo. I lid laws are in tho main just laws, and yet tho disposition of the properly ot an ''intestate' as niado by tbu laws, is nut always suck as tlio uocensed person would uuvo prolorred, nor is it always an oquitublo dispose tion. In this article we propose to tell in a ifcneml wsv. and lor the benefit of general rem It how taW,'inteMtato .Laws operate in tho case of most fro quont oocurroneo. There are two prin cipal clusses of property, as to the de scent ot which tho "Intestine Laws make a broad distinction, and this dis tinction must bo kept in mind. There is "real estate," which means (broadly) nouses and iitnus: und "personal tato," which means money, bonds, stock, goods, merchandise, furniture, jewelry, ond, gonorally, nil valuables mat are "movubio." "Jteul estate" is subject to one kind of disposition by tue law, aim "personal estate to miotli or. i hen a person possessed of prop erly dies, the first claim against tho property is the payment of tho just duuis ol the deceased and tho legal charges against the cstulo. If there ho no will und no marriage settlement tho romaidcr, after tho debts are paid is disposed of by tho law as follows : vi here tho deceased person has left a widow and a child or children, the widow is onltlled to one-third part of mo personal proporty ubsoliitely (that is, to dispose of in any wny she thinks p roper and to ono-thlrd ol the real criUUo for tho term of her lite. Tho other two-thirds of both the personal and rcul estate becomes tho proportv of hischildorehildren, andtho descend ants of any child or ohildren that may be deceased. The remaining one-third of the real estate, in which tlio widow bus a life estate, also descends at her de cease to tho child or children, or the dosceuduudu of any doceased child or children or to their heirs. Where tho deceased person has made no will, and has left a widow but no child, and no descendant ot any do ceased child, but has left what tho law calls "collateral heirs," father, mother, sister, nephew, niece, or other kindred tho law makes the following disposal of tho property : One-half part of tho personal property goes absolutely to lather and mother of tho deceused per son, it they ho living, or to tho survi vor, ii one ol them is dead, and they take a lilb interest of the widow in ono-half of it j but, in this iustance.tho loo-simplo to the real ostuto descends to and vests in tho brothers and sisters. If both litthor and mother he dead, then tbe remaining half of the pnntruml property and the real estate, subject to tho willow's one-bulf life interest, go to the brothers and sisters, or brother or sistor of tho "whole blood," or tho de scendants of any deceased brother or sistur ol tho "whole blood. It none of these be living, then tlio titlo to the real cslale goes back to the lather and mother or the survivor: anil, if they be dead, then the brothor or sistur of the "half blood" come in. If none of theso bo living tlio "next ol kin "comes in, but us tho description of tho descent to these would go too much into de tails, we omit further mention of it at this time. Whore a woman dies ossessud of property and makes no will, the luw disposes ol her estate as follows: If she leaves a husband and a child or children, or the descendants of any do. ceased child or children, her personal property goes to tbo husband, and tho child or children share and share alike tho descendant of any deccasod child tuning me snare winch such child would be entitled to if living. Tho rcul estate descends to tho child or children and to the descendants of any deceased child : but the husband is en- tiUod to tho income of tho real estate during the term of hia life. Where a woman dios possessed of property and without malting a will, and leaves a husband, but no Jul,!, and no descendant of any child, but leaves "collateral heirs," as above described, tho personal nronertv noes to the has. band absolutely, and ho takes also the incomo of the real estate tor tho term of his life as abovo described. The real estate subject to tho husband's life interest, goes for a life term to the father and mother of tho deceased wo man or to tho survivor, if one bo dead ; but tho feo simplo titlo descends to und vosts in her sisters and brothers of the whole blood." If neither father nor mother ho living, then tho real estate goes to tho brothers and sisters and de scendants of any deceased brother or sister oi tbo deceased woman in the or der already mentioned. If no brother or sistur or descendant of any sister or brother of tho "wholo blood" be living, tho fee simplo title of tho real estate goes back to tho fathor and mothor as eforo mentioned. Wherustich woman leaves neither hiisbund nor child nor lUicrndtint in any degree, kcr fathor and mother (or the surviveX Uiko a mo interest in her eslato, tho feo sun tho other half of tbo porsonal proporty, and full titlo to the real estate, which sho. perhaps, had as lurge a part in accumulating as ker deceased husband hud. Similar disability hapMins iu the case oi a husband whose wile makes no will. If sho dios loavinrr no child or descend. ant of uny child, and no latiior or mortbor, sister or brother, the husband gets the personal estate only, and but a life interest in the real estate, and thon the law mukoa the search above recited among bur nephews, neices, and others "collateral heirs," aunts, uncles, cousins, etc., before tho husband can take a full fee simple titlo to her rcul estate. , Theso lust-mentioned instances are among those which show the strongest necessity on the part of every man and woman possessed of property mak ing a will, because thov show that the "IntAistuut laws,", wiauly 1 rained and equitable na tboy are, do not always muko the fairest distribution of pro- eriy. xvot. jjeaytr. . TWER CATVJ1INQ. Somo of tho perils nnd difficulties thatbeset tho professional tiger-catchor are inns aut forth by I bnrles Jamrach, a London dealer in wild animals : r nil grown tigers nro very seldom captured, because tho trnnsjiort of mem is very costly, and tho fanciers in jsurope do not hko them. Large tigers, fresh from tho jungle, cannot bo tamed; they hlto the wooden narts of their cages, Bit down in the comers and growl, nnd do not show thorn solves much. They get swellings on their hind legs from lying and squat ting so much j tbo back gets bent and tho animal loses his good looks. I g ivo my shickurcos Btrict orders to catch tigers from four to six months old. When a pair of tigers have made a lair, tho shicknrees observe that tho mnlo goes out alone. Ho then lies in wnit tor him, and before the father has come to say irood niorninrr to his young ones, he is treuonillv killed, his head severed from Lis body, and taken to the kutcberee, where a government official pays the shickaroe fifty rnpoes for it. Tho female and her cubs are then watched. When tho shickaroe knows that tho young ones can do without their mother, which he discovers by hor indifference, sho is generally killed, aud tho young ones are easily caught, ns they mostly koep mv liiu uuuj' t tneir muiucr and cry. II or head, like that of hor lord, it taken to tho kutcberee, whore lifly mpoes are again paid, and the young ones are taken to Calcutta. The journey on foot generally occupies two or throe months. , Tho change of teeth is the critical period with tigers, as with all the leline species, so that I generally koep them in Calcutta until it is over, and havo special oare taken of them. Thov are thon secured in cages and taken to Europe. 1 have sent seventy-live tigers to Europe, out of one hundred and twenty-two that had been caught The Sultan has been my bust customer, and ho has the best specimens.

You may got from 120 to fie going to her sisters and brothers, f both father and mother bo dead. then her estato goes to hor brothers and sisters and the descendants ol any deceased brother or sister. If nono of these bo living then the titlo goes back to the fathor and mothor, and if they bo dead, then to tho sisters and broth ers of tbo "half blood." In default ol all these, then tho estato goes to tho "next of kin," umong graiid-nophews, grand-nieces, uncles, auats, cousins, otc, and tho courts frequently havo consid erable difficulty in deciding, what is next oi Kin.

Tho machinery, so" far as I havo been permitted to examine, Is run en tirely by a power whoso working force ia contained within the space of a cow's horn, uso neither wood nor wnter, und is run entirely by tlio subtle fluid from whence it derives its name. It is simple in construction, it is entirely devoid ol tne complicntod working ap paratus of the locomotive, and, unlike tbe locomotive, the power can bo ap pliod instantaneously to each individn ul car if necessary, thus giving the driver the control of all parU of his train without tho necessity of blowing off or on brakes whonovor it is desira ble to start off or to stop.

Tho tublo is the place whore tho family meet, and there should bo tho freest nnd most unrestrained inter course. We eat to live ; but the more animal necessity is lifted up and glori fied when tho charms of pleasant con versation nnd of mutual courtesy sur rounded tho custom. So far at tho sustaining of lifo is concerned, that ob ject may bo reached if each took his bread and retired to n closet to eat it alone. Hut there is a spiritual life that is to be fed and sustained, and it is starved whero there it no craco. not only before, but during a meal. 1 ho great trouble with our A moncati lifo ia that it is too gloomy. Wo take no timo to entertain and amuse each other. Not seldom docs it happen in somo houses that a meal progresses in dead silonce, oxcept whan it is neces sary to speak about tho dishes, or to help somo ono to potatoes or pio. Th is is almost ns had as rudeness or quar- mg. Thoro ought to bo briirht. see there is the tabernacle, or house of! 8parKiing milt in which the children Bhould be allowed to join. There is no sense, whatever, in compelling an intel ligent child to sit like a deaf mute at the tablo ; though, on tho othor hand, children should not monopolize the conversation, nor be allowed to ask strings of irrevelent questions. Each ono should prepare for it by some simplo process of dressing. The hair should be smooth, the hands washed, tho general appearance of oach should try to be ns agreeable as possible to each othor. It is quits wonderful how a littlo refreshing ot tho toilet freshens up the soul as well as tho face. So far wo all ought to bo luxurious. If the mothor Bees to it, thnt her school-boy sons always cotno to dinner with clean hands and nails, and that hor daugh ters never dwadlo into tawdry finory or soiled wrappers, sho will do more than sho dreams of in tho work of making them grow into real trentlemeu and ladies. The table itself ought to hare a fes- tivo look. Flowers have a special grace on tho breakfast board. A dish of fruit niculy arranged, pleases the eyo as well as tho palate at dinner. Clean linen, even though coarse, and wholo plates and cups, with bright glass and sjlvor, help the appetite along. A few woll cooked dishes, nicely served, will promote health and happi ness better than a great variety ruined in tho preparation. Some honsckcepors, with an eye to saving trouble on washing day, havo adopted tho murblo oil cloth, instead of the white damask for ordinary uso. For our part wo would prefer economy in almost any other wny. A fine white table cloth, or a buff or crimson ono occasionally for breakfast or tea, will furnish tho family feast much more beautifully. - M . FA TTENINd HOG.SON GRAPES.

Doubting on onr part ed to investigation into the theory of fat and flesh production, and though still unwilling to behove that a hundred poundt of grapes will make twonty jiounds of pork about what corn will do when properly led wo cannot bnt admit that they may prove vory profit able for feeding, and as this gentleman informs us that hia hoga will leave bar ley or wheat to eat grapes, wo would recommend thoso parties who, because wine making has not been a success with them, and their common grapes are not tho things for raisins, have meditated rooting out their vines, to try tkit motlo of disposing of their crop.
