Ben Butler has written a letter accepting the nomination for gov ernor of the National Greenback Labor party of Massachusetts. Their action, lie says, affords him much pleasure as a mark of their appreciation of his labors in be half ol the Greenback party, and the laboring man. The green back, he says, has become abso lutely the currency of the United States in the several different forms in which the government is sues its money. E very silver and gold certificate and every postal note is essentially greenback; that is, naner currency based on a guarantee of the natioirs goodj faith. If all the gold and silver j uselessly piled up in the vaults of die treasury were taken away, still the notes of the United States will be just as good. Upon that question the Greenbackcrs have won their fight, after a long and j severe struggle, commencing in obliging and ending in victory, lie attempted, he says, in what he wrote to the officers of the con vention of the Greenback party last year, to pay this compliment. But his and their enemies took ad vantage of the language in which it was couched, to twist it to their nefarious purposes, lie trusts he has now made plain what he meant. The party still has a higher and nobler mission before it of establishing relations between labor and capital which shall be just and profitable to both, and of restraining lawful monopolies, such as the transportation of freight and passengers with it the purposes for which they re ceived the sanction of law. Or ganizations under the forms of law which give any undue advant age by which the rich are made richer, and the poor poorer, ought to be strongly dealt with. A few years ago our currency and our public debt were such contriv ances. Let us abolish all other contrivances, such as watering stocks, bogus mortgages on rail roads and fictitious valuation of the property of incorporated com panies, by which money, without proper equivalent for it, is taken from one and given to another. We are not enemies of honest cap ital we are its true friends; be cause if capital suffers itself to become the oppressor of an edu cated, intelligent and true people, such oppressor will be surely swept away, and who shall say that in such case it ought not to be? The pacing record has been car ried past the best trotting time for the fourth time in the history of the turf by a horse with the ro mantic name of Johnston. Old Pocahontas first put the pacers ahead by distancing Tacony to wagon in 2:17, and the first trot ting horse to beat this time was Dexter, who went to saddle in 2:17. Then Billy Boyce paced to saddle in and he was in turn outtrotted by Goldsmith Maid, in 2:14. The trotting rec ord then reverted to Rarus in 2:13, and afterward to St. Julien in 2:12f, but these were soon beaten by the pacer Sleepy Tom, who lowered the fastest mile time to 2:12 which was unbiokon un til Maud S. trotted in 2:11 Now the same mare's 2:10 is left be hind by the pacer Johnston's 2:10, and next season the great task for Maud S. and Jay-Eye-See will not be so much to win laurels from each other as to bring the trotters once more in the van by beating this pacer. Ax exchange says that "H. B. Hayes is making pumpkin pies in Ohio.5' Hayes Hayes; who is Hayes, any how? No Demand for American Wooden Ships. Attention has already been called to the fact that the ship building industry on the Pacific coast is not as prosperous as it has been and that ship carpenters are the only class of mechanics whose services are not in good demand. There is one cause connected with this stagnation in the trade which is both instructive and interesting, because it shows how great the preference is which is given to for eign over American, and to iron over wooden ships. The geueral public is, perhaps, already aware the present season has been and continues to beau unprofitable one for deep-water vessels, which has forced many of them into idleness at this port. It is not necessary here to point out the effects of this condition of things upon the ship builders" and repairers trade. The facts which are of more uicercst to the reader concerned in the welfare of the American merchant marine are that there are in the port of San Francisco at this moment 117 deep-water vessels, of which 45 arc under cnja;;ement and 72 are disenjraired. Of the former num ber 34 are iron vessels and 11 are constructed of wood, 32 sail under the British flag and only 9 under the American flag. Of the disen- rarrril Ilnnr nil tln nr.hflr liniifl. hilt h"a , j S are iron vessels .and 04 are wood en ships, T)4 are. American and 1G belong to Great Britain. Nothing could more strikingly demonstrate the preference which is given Eng lish iron over American wooden ships than theso figures concern ing the California wheat fleet now in the port of San Francisco. They certainly are not encouraging to American ship builders and own ers. Some of these American ships have been in port since De cember last, and been a steady drain upon the purses of their owners. One of them has been here for nearly two years, for the owners are stubborn and refuse io charter her below a rate which they think she ought to bring. On the other hand the earliest date of ar rival of the disengaged iron ships is August Gth. The difficulty is not the American owners are more unwilling to accept the prevailing charter rates than the English iron vessels. The latter are given the preference by the exporter even as the sailor will give vessels of that nationality the preference, because he receives better treatment when sailing under the flag of Great Britain. San Francisco l-Iiran-ivle. Tub Astoriax complains of California packing establishments using Columbia river brands on inferior packages of salmon, and recommends as a ; matter of self preservation that some steps be taken to prevent this dishonesty. It is well known that Columbia river salmon is the very best in the world, and the packers on the Columbia have an honorable pride in putting up the Gsh in the very best manner, whether it be salted or canned. Mr. Schwatka, when in Baltimore, years ago, saw some fine Columbia salmon as he was walking through a market build ing and glad we suppose to see anything to remind him of Oregon said to the man in charge, "Fine fish 'that?' "Yes its California salmon, caught in the Columbia river." So with our best flour, it has been found re-labled with California brands. "Willamette Farmer. The Washington Territorial leg islature has divided Spokane coun ty. The new county has been named Sprague, and Assotin is designated as the county seat, A Washington dispatch says: Commissioner MoFarland, of ithe general land oflice, is continu ing the vigorous crusade inaugu rated against what are known as land cruisers. Upon the report of special agents thirteen entries of public lands in Washington Territory were yesterday held for cancellation. The commissioner says all the parties in these cases appear to have combined in the commission of the frauds, the com bination even extending to the notary who witnessed the papers. All the entries upon confirmation were transferred to one individual. A I'osC Washington dispatch says on good authority that Gen eral Hancock favors the nomina tion of an old Democratic presi dential ticket, but does not want the ticket to be too old; in fact, he would be really be glad to have j Hancock and English renomina ted.
