The National Grange.

The secretary Of this organization
has prepared and printed a statement,
including brief history Of its rise and
progress, its objects, purposes, and
modes Of doing business, from which
the public will learn that it began in
1867, now numbers about 1850 subor-
dinate oranges, including total men,
bership of 325, 900 in all the States and
in Canada, and that its object is the
promotion Of the education and gener-
nj interests Of farmers. 4.
Political and religious discussions
are prohibited. Ii this feature shall
be adhered to successfully it may con-
tinmc 10 prosper, and the organization
result in great good to the farming
community. AS heretofore stated in
the Chronicle, no reason can be assign.
oil for the organization Of the members
of the learned professions, Of those
engaged in mercantile pursuits, i'm
transportation, and the prosecution OF
the mechanic arts not equally applica-
BILE to the cultivators of the soil.
That mistakes will occur and blum
ders be made from time to time must
be expected. Impcrfecti0n is an Incl
dent of human nature. But the great
danger which an organization SO nu-
merOus must necessarily encounter
will be the efforts of ambitious and
aspiring men to press it into the SER
vice Of political parties. Should it
strike on this rock II will inevitably 60
TO pieces.
The Democracy have already laid
their plans to entrap the oranges into
the committal Of this blunder. Their
organs are constantly appealing 10
them to make common cause against
the Republican party. The real friends
Of the Patrons Of Husbandry can not
be too watchful on this point.-Wash-

The R~ilroad Pass System.


The st. Louis Democrat has the fol-
lowing sensible comments on the pass
system;
''At recent meeting Of the railroad
magnates in Chicago, it was resolved
to abolish the pass system entirel y and
to make every person who patrOnize
railroads pay like every other person.
There lisa widespread impression that
the enforcement of such rule would
operate against the newspapers. Speak
ing for the Democrat and papers of its
class. we say this is exceedingly incor-
rect. AS the case stands to-day, the
railroads make more out of us than we
make out Of the railroads by the pass
system. The roads get more favors
from lis than we get from the roads,
But of the passes issued by the rail-
roads, not one in ten goes to news
paperor newspaper man ;and ofthose
charged up to the press, not one in ten
goes to q man who has any claim to the
account Of an editorial connection
The pass fiend is rarely connected with
a newspaper by a tenderer tic than
that Of an occasional correspondent,
who writes letters for the waste bask-
ct. Editors have little time 10 travel.
and when they do they are able and
willing to pay their way. With most
Of the good country editors, the case
stands on different footing. They
insert an advertisement for the railroad,
and the railroad pays them with pass,
which is all well enough, except that it
squints toward a reaction from money
to barter. But then, it is among the
hardships Of some counties to be obli-
gcd to take sOonskins and cord wood
as legal tender, and we can well I'M
derstand how under such circumstan-
ces, a railroad pass may have all the
glittering charms Of solid snrcie. /"

THE SALARY GRAB.


~
An Explicit statement and Some Curi-
Gus Disclosures.
The Washington correspondence of
the Boston Adrerttser contains the fol-
lowing:
Several members Of Congress in va
rious parts of the country are either
questioning the accuracy of the lists
lately printed in these dispatches of
those congressman who have returned
their back pay to the Treasury, or are
attempting TO create an impression
that because they have not actually
drawn their money 1t is still in the
Treasury.
The claim of many Senators and
members that they have notified the
disbursing officers of their respective
houses that they will not draw their
back day, simply amounts to leaving
the money where it can be drawn bv
these members at any time, nor do such
instructions cause the back pay OF those
giving them to remain in the Treasury.
congressman do not themselves draw
their pay from the Treasury, and could
not do SO If they wished. When the
appropriation bill containing the items
Of compensation and mileage goes into
effect, the entire sum appropriated be-
comes subject to the req QUESTIONS Of the
disbursing officers of the respective
houses and it il no longer in the Treas
ury, and any member OF Congress can
draw his share whenever he chooses
from the discussing officer.
| No portion Of the pay due any men,
Der can be placed beyond his control
except by his. drawing 1t and having it
returned to the Treasury, in which
case it is no longer subject TO the action
of appropriation bills or disbursing
officers warrants, but becomes again
available for the general purposes Of
the Government. Some OF the men,
bers are claiming that II they refrain
from drawing this back pay it will
lapse into the Treasury as unexpended
balances. This is not the case, as I'M
der the law as construed at the De-
paftment the certificates ofthc amounts
due each Senator, Representative or
Delegate, which the President Of the
Senate and the Speaker Of the House
are obliged to make out, are held to be
conclusive upon oil departments and
officers of the Government, and the
certificates passed as public accounts,
and the money can be drawn upon them
by Congressman, their heirs or execu-
tors, at any subsequent time.
The books of the Treasury Depart
mcnt show that Thomas Benton drew
back pay and constructive mileage five
years after he had denounced the bill
pronounc it as public robbery, and
notified the Disturbing officer that he
| would not have it. The books also
show that Andrew johnson drew for
mileage he had refused, and the receiv-
| ing Of which by others he had de.
nounced on the stump after he had
left Congress, served rs Governor OF
Tennessee, and afterward returned as
a member of another Congress. The
books also show that Robert j. Walk.
err, after the close Of the late war, drew
a sum due for constructive mileage
for attending the first session Of the
Senate in Folks administration, and
which at the time he had refused to
take from the disbursing officer.
