“Patrons of Husbandry.”

LETTER FROM THE GENERAL OF THE NATIONAL GRANGE. Gouvernetr, N. Y., May 33! To the Editor of the Utica Morning Herald! Having seen an editorial in the 1 braid opposing the Order of Patrons of Husbandly as Wicked or tyrannical, and many times having had my attention called to the fact that others Of lika, im--port had appeared, I write you. It is evident that you are not aware wliat our border is. The discussion of partisan politics is forbidden by our constitution, yet we believe that we,.as men, (not as Patrons of Husbandry) should, as a duty, scan very closely the acts of our public servants; that we, as producers, while we furnish the food for the millions, fight our nation’s battles; defend its liberties in time of danger; should, of a right, have an equal share as such in the making of those laws by which all are governed; that we have a right to demand that in all things, whether political or otherwise, the principles of common honesty shall not be wholly ignored, and to place ourselves in a position to enforce that demand. We acknowledge the fact that mind will always triumph over matter, and that an active mind whose whole thought is to gain the profits of our toil will always be successful so long as we, like the ox, depend only on our muscular power; but we find that the Great Ruler has given us brains also, and if He has given us them, it was that we might use them; true, we have men of active minds and of great wealth arrayed against ns. be we begin to realize the fact that they cannot eat their money, and hope that ere many years pass away we will be able to show the great kings of monopoly that there Is in our order a most noble conception, that a principle is about to be born that to him or to her who labors belongs the pay. Yes, even farmers are beginning to believe that they can, in a measure fly their own kite, ana perhaps soar as high and continue as long on the Wing as though we should continue to bang at the tail of kites of others. We see a vast river of wealth continually flowing from the hands of the needy into the bands of the few who already possess their millions. Now, we mean to stop those „ waters by legislation if we can; if not, by ' some other honorable means. We know no party; but we consider it the dutjr of all connected with us to, outside of toe grange, see to it that the candidates

of all parties be men of Integrity, whose interest is the w elfare of the people, and not political ring-masters. Men profit from knowledge gained from others ; the steam engine was not brought to perfection by one man, but each of its Inventors took hold the former left off. So, too, with rascality ; each has token hold where the former left off, until it seems to have outstripped in perfection the steam engine; but single-handed, man could not have made rascality such a science but they have combined —combined to fleece those who earn their bread ; and there remains no safety for the producer but to combine also, and, too, as thoroughly as those arrayed against him. Yet our society is not for the farmer<nlonc, but for all whose interest is with us. In the Grange also we are taught to advance the interests of education. In short, the Grange of Patrons of Husbandry is for the elevation of the masses socially, mentally, morally and financially,• and we hope that the press of no political party will so oppose us that we. shall be compelled to regard them as our enemies.

The Railroads and the New Illinois Law.

A repotter from the Inter-Ocean called yesterday upon several prominent railway officials of the different roads centering in G’liicago, and from them learned that the steps which led to the abolition of the, pass system received its first momentns from a clause in section 3 of the act becoming a law on the Ist prox. This clause prohibits any discrimination in regard to persons or freiglits, yet allows the corporation to issue commutation, excursion or thousand-mile, tickets,. as heretofore. Railway companies can fix upon any commutation, half-fare, excursion, or other rates; but they must grant no special rights to one individual not to be enjoyed by ail. The pass system lias been a heavy burden upon the railway companies, and it was witli great alacrity _that they.sought refuge behind the sheltering clause of the new' law and abolished it. This burden lias been heavier upon some Toads than upon others. The Superintendent of the St. Louis Railway stated yesterday that ten per cent, of their passenger travel was composed of persons traveling upon free passes. The location of the State capital upon this road increases the “dead-head” travel to a large per cent.; but each of the heads of the various roads visited state that a large per cent, of their ravel is also free. The rumor that gained considerable credence in railway circles in regard to the “pooling’’ of the earnings of the Milwaukee, St. Paul & Chicago and Northwestern roads, it is claimed, has no significance. This question would be settled by the Executive Board of the different roads whose headquarters are in the city ofNew York. The officers of the Northwestern Railway say that a change of this importance would involve a revolution in the entire management of the roads interested, and no information having been received from New York, the rumor is not heeded. They state that had sucli change been effected, immediate notice would have been given the companies interested. The most important question of all, what rates to charge and how to adjust them under the new law, is still unsettled and affords a subject for lively discussion and prolonged consultation. Under the old law-, or the law which Is supplanted by that going into operation on July 1, the railways were allowed to adjust their passenger and freight tariff rates so that they might he enabled to compete with railways affording a short and more direct route. Take the Rock Island Railway, for instance, and the point to which the goods arc to be shipped— Peoria. Under the existing law the roads were allowed to have a certain fixed rate for each and all points on their line between Chicago and Peoria, and yet, if in competing with other roads, irregular or rates less than schedule rates were allowed, it was in perfect accordance with the letter and spirit of the law. And after having unloaded the cars of their freight at the destination, rather than haul back empty cars, a still lower rate might be fixed by the company for the transportaof goods to Chicago from Peoria. But by the law taking eflect on the Ist prox., these concessions by the roads to merchants,and this, opportunity to compete with rival routes by means of cheaper rates, is entirely eut off. The new' law requires the same discrimination in regard to freight tlqjf it does in the case of passengers. It distinctly states that no road shall “make any unjust discrimination in its rates or charges or compensation for the transportation of passengers or freight of any description.” * * * And further, “no railway shall charge, collect, or receive for the transportation of any passenger, or freight of any discriptiori, upon its railway, for any distance within this State, the" same or a greater amount of compensation than is at the same time charged, collected, or received for the transportation in the same direction of any passenger or like quantity of freight of the same class over a greater distance of the same railway;” or, in other words, no railway can charge a certain rate for freight to ah intermediate station, but it must charge the same proportionate rate from the shipping point to the,destination. This questhe officers have found it difficult to settle so that they may conform to the law and yet do themselves justice. So far, the most practical way of accomplishing this seemed to be by means of distance tariffs; that is, gradually increasing rates in accordance with additional mileage. The plan determines the rate to a given point, and decreases in charge per mile as the distance increases; so that when the traveler has reached his destination he will be charged with a greater amount, but will really have paid a lesser sum per mile considering the entire distance. The same principle applies to freight. This plan would seriously interfere with the business of the nofth and south lines, because all the traffic would be token from them at every competing point. The schedules and opinions upon them are being prepared, and will be considered and definitely settled at the next general meeting. The railway men say that, in case this plan goes into operation, it will seriously impair the business of Chicago. The intersecting lines traveling eastward will take over their routes all business to and from the East, because their lines are shorter, and consequently cheaper. Thus they say, the Chicago merchant will be neglected for the New' Yorlt and other Eastern merchants, and traffic will be shipped without benefiting Chicago. In regard Jo the pass system the officials state that as the abolition of the-entire system is required by law it will very likely be of permanent duration. They are glad that the law has done,for them, in so short a time, what they have been so long trying in vain to effect for want of unanimity of action. Railway men say that Illinois has set an excellent example, one which will be followed throughout the entire country Without doubt, The railway officials are goirig to enforce the new law in every jot and tittle. They acknowledge the existence of many evils which it will, be beyond the power of any law to eradicate, but propose to do" everything in their power to regulate the running of their roads to the new* law. The new schedule of rates now ljeing prepared will be observed, said a prominent railway official yesterday, until some road begins to cut rates and provoke retaliation from, the other roads.— -Chicago InterOcean, June 5.

THE TWO TRAVELERS AND THE OYSTER. Two tratbi.krs. in times of yore, Paused Hear the sea one (lay. And »aw by chance where on the shore * * A stranded oyster lay. / To seize It one directly ran, And all his muscles strained, But past him pushed the other man, And so the prize obtained. “The fish is mine,” the other cried; “I saw it first, I'd swear." “Before you saw," his friend replied, "I smelt It lying there.” “Then with the emell remain content. And yield the taste to me.” And thus they wrangled as they went Whose should the oyster he. But ’mid their strife, at length they spiod A stranger drawing near,! Of aspect grave and dignified As of a Judge severe. To him the quarrel they referred. Which patiently enough was hoard, And then the judgment came. 1I« took the oyster in his hand, -■.* ' And opened it with care; While both his face Intently scanned To read his purpose there. 1 Then much, I ween, to their surprise, Ere they had seen it well, He ate the fish before their eyes, And handed each a shell. “This judgment doth the court award," He said with accent gay, . .“And bids yon live in good accord;” Then wished the pair good day. By litigation a dispute Grows oft from bad to worse; The gold is swallowed in the suit; You gain an empty purse.

The President’s Proclamation and Louisiana.

The madness of the Louisiana Democracy is of. such a nature as to admit of no easy cure. To those who remonstrate with them in all kindness upon the imprudence of tlieir course, who would stop them in that cruel policy which is destroying the poor remains of their commerce and wealth left by tlie rebellion, whose only desire is to secure them ease and prosperity, they reply with insults, and rejeet—their friendly counsel with scorn. They seem resolute to persecute the colored race, who are the only resource for the cultivation of their laud, and to drive off Northern capital and enterprise* which can alone save Louisiana from ruin. It is stated that they have made the visit of the Congressional Committee to New Orleans so uncomfortable by their bad manners and childish petulance as to hasten its departure, that they met the Congressmen with insolent remarks, and gave them such a Welcome as can not fail to leave no friendly recollections behind it. Yet Louisiana is a persistent applicant for the bounty of the whole country. A low, marshy: strip of land seated along the mouths of the Mississippi, thinly peopled, impoverished, and decaying, its only hope of improvement or even of preservation lies, wtyire told in the message of one of its Governors, in the. repair of its levees. These embankments that line the river alone save the State from complete submersion. They require constant repairs. Many millions have already been expended upon them since the war. But their condition is still dangerous; they crumble away with each rising flood; they are threatened with total destruction; nor is it incredible that should they still remain neglected they may be wholly swept away, and thc richest land of Louisiana be sunk beneath the Mississippi. In such an event, the Governor’s message assures us New Orleans might still be saved, although even this he thinks not altogether certain. To provide help to secure their levees, therefore, the planters are begging aid from the National Government. Another project for which New Orleans is asking assistance from the North and West is the deepening of the mouth of the Mississippi. * * * * * * * * Such is the condition of this unlucky State. With an extravagant debt, a heavy taxation, small resources, and no help from Immigration, instead of giving all its'errergies to peaceful labor. Hit; madness of its Democratic politicians has nearly plunged it into a civil war. The origin of this contest is one of the'ihost shameful passages iu our history. Those—and we fear there are too few—who have studied carefully the Congressional reports on the Ku-Klux conspiracy will find there the source of the woes of Louisiana. In 1808, the “White Brotherhood.” or the Ku-Klux, began their murderous attempt to convert the Republican population to Democracy. In the spring of that year the elections showed a large Republican majority; in the autumn, so successful had been the efforts of the murderous associations that but a few thousand votes in the, whole State were given for General Grant. In one parish, where the Republican majority was large, no Republican vote was offered. The State was almost unanimous for Seymour and Blair. Yet the horrible means by which the victory was achieved might well bring a blush to the cheek of every Northern supporterof the opposition candidates. Two thousand negroes were murdered or maimed to secure the terrible result. The sworn testimony of many witnesses proves the number and the crime. The “Knights of the White Camellia” rode through the rural parishes inflicting atrocities that are altogether unparalleled. In the famous Bossier negro hunt alone it is shown that nearly two hundred peaceable colored men were killed in one raid. The desired effect was gained. No colored man in many districts dared vote for Grant and Colfax. But from that moment a stain has rested upon Louisiana that not all the floods of the Mississippi can ever wash away. The outrages were continued withvarying intensity through the succeeding elections. We do not believe that many of the merchants -or the planters looked upon them with but horror and dread, yet they made no effort to save the colored population. They have never dared even to rebttke the murderers; and in the last election of 1872,we are told, whole parishes were carried for the Democracy by similar acts of violence. Even Mr. Carpenter was forced to admit that had the vote been fairly taken, Kellogg would have been chosen by a large majority; arid the real question "now to be decided in Louisiana is not whether Kellogg or McEnery is the legal Governor, hut whether the supporters of McEnery are not actual rebels who have endeavored to deprive their fellowcitizens by violence* of the right of voting, and who under the Constitution and the Enforcement act have become outlaws and the enemies of the nation. If the party of McEnery obtained a nominal majority, at the recent election by means as desperate and unlawful as those employed by Seymour and Blair in 1868, when two thousand victims suffered in order that the rights of the people might be overridden and destroyed; if, as the colored citizens told Mr. Carpenter, they were afraid to vote; if the massacre at Colfax properly represents the impulses of that desperate faction which is laboring for the ruin of Louisiana, and seeks to place McEnery in power—we think tha safety of the colored population and the honor of the Union demand the retention of the Kellogg Government. Rejecting the fraudulent returns and the returns of parishes where no free election could be held, Kellogg was certainly chosen. No decision of Congress or of courts could confer legality on the blood-stained election of his opponent. The employment of violence or intimidation in politics is a crime So great as to be inexpiable. We trust that the people of Louisiana will soon learn to think it so. If the white

r-" 1 " ■■ 111 1 population of that State have not sufficient courage to protect the liberties of * all their, people, we hope the aid of the National Government will not prove ineffective — Harper's Weekly.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

—Com Meal Cakes. —Take one quart of sweet milk, and boil with half a cup of sugar and half a cup of buttqr. Add enough of Indian or Southern corn meal to make a stiff batter. Beat three eggs to a foam; add a little pinch of salt, and bake in shallow pans for half an hour. —Rice Griddle Cakes.—Take a coffeecupful of/iold boiled rice, add to it the same amount of wheat flour—thin it to a batter with cold, sw’eet milk —beat up one egg to a froth, and a pinch of salt, and stir into the cakes. Fry on a hot grkldle, and you will always boil enough rice for dinner upon one day to give you a cupful for cakes for ttnrnext morning’s breakfast. An Antidote.—ln cases of accidental poisoning, it is well to have a simple remedy at hand. Poisons of any description which have been intentionally or accidentally swallowed, may be rendered almost instantly harmless by simply swallowing two gills *of sweet oil. An individual with a strong constitution might take more. The oil will neutralize every form of vegetable, animal, or mineral poisons. —Temperature of the Air in Making Butter.-—Recent experiments indicate that the best temperature of the air, as well as of the cream, for rapid churning of butter, is from fifty-four to fifty-nine degrees, instead of the average of sixty-six degrees, as generally taken. A cellar, with temperature regulated by means of a thermometer, seems most suitable for the purpose, especially in summer. —Pea Bugs.—A Jersey man writes to the Country Gentleman that in his neighborhood the pea bug had been gotten rid of by thrashing peas, cleaning them, then putting them in a heap on the barn floor and sprinkling them, at the rate of a quart to five or six bushels, with spirits of turpentine. Leave the peas a few days to dry, after shoveling the heap over to mix their wall with the turpentine. Barrel them, and the bugs are never heard of again. — —— —Late Plowing of Clover Fields.—A correspondent of the Cincinnat i Gazette details several experiments which show that when clover sod is turned in May, after the clover is up some inches, corn planted thereon is far less liable to be troubled by the cut worm, than if the land were plowed the fall before or early in spring. The worms feed on the clover instead of the com. Besides, if the clover is in rank, growing condition when turned under, and the roots full of sap, it will be more rotten at August than if plowed earlier, when the roots are not full of sap. —To Hull Corn—Take one quart of strong lye, prepared by pouring warm water upon a peck or more of ashes; add two quarts of boiling water to it, and put in the corn; let it boil until the hulls begin to start, which you can determine by taking out a few kernels and washing them in cold water. Skim out all the corn; rinse it in two or three waters; put it into cold water, and let it boil up; turn off that water so as to extract all the lye; fill up with boiling water, arid cook for four hours slowly; add salt to your taste; let it boil half an hour more, and serve. It must cook a great while to be palatable.— Country Gentleman.

Small Fruits on the Farm.

Thorough preparation of the soil anti clean culture always pay in any locality with the commonest farm crops. In the orchard, a proper preparation of the soil before planting is especially needed, and in the garden, not only thorough preparation of the soil but subsequent good cul ture are absolutely necessary to success. Take small fruits, the berries for instance; one man, by care and constant working, will produce large and uniform crops of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, while others, by the let-alone process, never get enough fruit to pay ground rent, to say nothing of Qultiyation. Strawberries are usually planted out, hap-hazard, and allowed to take care of themselves. This, if the soil be toleraable, they are pretty apt to do, and usually cover tlie ground so thickly with runners as to give small returns in fruit, while, if a little care and attention had been paid to keeping the runners down, and the plants confined to hills, large stools would have been formed,, and a full crop of extra berries would have been realized. So with the other small fruits, as raspberries and blackberries. They should have plenty of room. The old wood of tlie preceding year, already dead, should have been eut out and the now wood topped to three or four feet. This being done, we should have stocky, branching canes, loaded with fruit. Again, take currants and gooseberries. Too often they are allowed to ramble at will, and overgrow the whole surface of the gromd together with the weeds, when by a little judieious pruning they would have been kept in shape and furnished plenty of new wood upon which to have borne fruit. Grapes, on the .other hand, are allowed either to grow at will or else they are pruned so severely that" nothing is left upon which to bear fruit, when one or two canes, according to the strength of the vine, pruned as to the laterals to three or four buds, would give a full crop of superior, fruit. In the spring all small fruits should be gone over, the ground thoroughly cleaned, and the plants brought into shape, and if thereafter they are properly attended to according to their special wants, which any common-sense man may soon find, we should cease to hear the stereotyped cry that small fruits don’t pay. Thero is nothing about the farm garden you do that will pay better, so far at least as the wants of the family are concerned, than fruit, and especially the so-called small fruits, All that is necessary is to give, them proper attention, at the proper time, and it will be found that the added comfort to the family will pay a hundred per cent, on the cost, to say nothing of the improved general health of the family and the consequent saving on doctors’ bills.— West mi Rural. Editorial Notices are so common that it is almost impossible for an editor to express his honest opinion of the merits of any article without being suspected of interested motives. This fact, (however, shall not deter us from saying what we think of a new addition to the Materia Medica to which our attention has been recently directed. We refer to Da J. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters, a remedy which is making its way into more families just now than all the other advertised medicines put together. Its popularity, so far as we eau judge, is not based on empty preten sion. There seems to be no question about the potency of its tonic and alterative properties, while It possesses the great negative recommendations of containing _ neither alcohol nor mineral poison. That it is a specific for Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, and many complaints of nervous origin, we have reason to know; and we are assured on good authority that as a., general invigorant, regulating and purifying medicine, it has no equal. It is stated that its ingredients (obtained from the wilds of California) are new to the medical world; and its extraordinary effects certainly warrant the conclusion that it is a compound of agentfe hitherto unknown. If popularity is anv criterion, there can be no doubt of the efficiency of the Vinegar Bitters, for the sale of the article is immense and coptinually increasing. Our Readers should be careful to notice that Procter & Gamble’s Stamp is upon the bars of the Mottled German Soap, as all good articles are imitated, and this Soap being so popular, other manufacturers have copied their stamp.

Ask for Pruasing’a Cider Vinegar and take ,no other. Warranted to preserve Pickles. Consumption.— For tlie cure of this distressing disease there has been no medicine yet discovered that can show more evidence of real merit than Allen’s Lung Balsam. This unequaled expectorant for curing consumption, and all diseases leading to it, such as affections of the throat, lungs, and all diseases of the pulmonary organs, is introduced to the suffering public after its merits for the cure of Buch diseases have been fully tested by the medical faculty. The Balsam is, consequently, recommended by physicians who have become acquainted with its great success. See, in another column, the advertisement headed “/ will help any man."

Robbed of Health.

The richest of us is poor indeed. The summer, pleasant and enjoyable as it Is, is very apt to lay us open to this kind of depredation. The high temperature weakens the body and impairs itß vitality, and as the strength and energy of the system decline, disease following in the trail of debility, obtains a foothold somewhere in the frame, in the stomach, perhaps, or the liver, or the head, or the bowels, or the nerves. In summer, therefore, it is of great importance to keep the body strong, and all its functions in healthy activity. To promote, or rather to insure this condition of the human machine, llostettor’s Stomach Bitters, the standard tonic of the age, is the one thing needful. As a wholesome invigorant H stands at the head of all medicines of the class to which it belongs. Burt this is only one of its many valuable properties. Its mild and painless cathartic action, its anti-bilious properties, and the certainty with which it eliminates from the blood and other animal fluids all acrid matter that tends to produce or foster disease, almost entitle this wonderful pieventive and curative, to the much abused appellation, a universal medicine. It is so harmless that the most delicate female invalid may take it with safety,-yet so powerful that no form of bilious disease, no phase of indigestion, no case of chronic constipation, no type of intermittent fever, can resist its sanitary operation. Headache, Languor and Melancholy generally spring from a Disordered Stomach, Costiveness, or a Torpid Liver. Each may be readily removed by Dr. D. Jayne’s Sanative Mils, a few doses of which will be found to stimulate the Liver and Stomach to healthy action, removing all Biliousness, and producing regular evacuations of the bowels. ' ' Best and Oldest Family Medicine.— Sanford's Liver Invigorator—o purely Vegetable Cathartic and Tonic— for Dyspepsia, Constipation, Debility, Sick Headache, Bilious Attacks, and all derangements ol Liver, Stomach and Bowels. Ask your Druggist foi It. Beware of imitations Chills and Fevee can only be cured by a removal of the ctluse, Shallenberger’s Pills do this Instantly, and vigorous health is sure to follow.

|g|| Dr. «T. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the ’native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada nttmntains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is. almost daily asked, “What is the cause of tho unparalleled success of Vinegar Bitters?” Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recovers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing tho remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing the sick of every disease man is heir to. They aro a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion, or Inflammation of tho Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. The properties of Dr. Walker’s Vinbgar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Alterative, and Anti-Bilious. Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters tbe most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. Bilions, Remittent and lifter-., mittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, TenuesseOj Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, liio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the. Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, aro invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these, various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the darkcolored viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache’, Pam in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitatatiou of the Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoimp are tlie offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. • A. ■ ■ Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Seek, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old.
