The Transportation Committee to the
Oranges.

The select committee of the Sen
ate on transportation, which has
been doing great deal Of work
since the adjournment of Congress,
in collecting facts and statistics up.
on which to base intelligent legisla-
ton by Congress upon the subject,
has through its chairman, Hon.
VIM. Windham, of MIMI, address
ed the following letter to the State
Oranges of the Patrons of Husband
ry, inviting their cooperation in the
labors assigned to the committee:
"Thc Senate of the United States,
at it's last session appointed a select
committee which is charged with
the duty of investigating the sub
ject of transportation between the
interior and the seaboard. This
duty embraces a wide and difficult
field of. inquiry and involves certain
questions in which the farmers of
the country are deeply interested.
Knowing that the Patrons of Hus-
bandry have :..ven much attention
to this matter, ind believing that,
through their organization, very
valuable assistance may be obtained
in aid Of our work, l have the hon
or to request that you will, after
consulting with the Oranges in your
jurisdiction, select suitable person,
who will appear before the commit
tee at convenient time and place to
be hereafter mar ed, and present the
views of the farmers of your State
in regard to tie defects, abuses,
and grievances alleged to exist un-
der the present system Of transpor-
tation, and also any suggestion they
may desire to make as to the rem
edy required. Should you deem
it advisable to arrange for the con-
ference suggested, please inform
me Of your action, and l will give
you due notice of the proposed
meeting. Communications similar
to this have been addressed to the
Masters Of all State Oranges, and l
venture to express the hope that the
committee may be favored with the
valuable assistance and cooperation
of your organization"
The idea and appointment of the
above committee are due to a Re-
publican Senate; and a majority of
its members, including its able and
efficient chairman, are Republicans.
Its work is regarded as Of the great
est Importance, being preparatory
to the only legislation which will
adequately and effectually meet the
question of cheap transportation,
and relieve the producers of the
country from the burdens which

Extraordinary Growth of the Grange.

= A dispatch from Washington an
nouncing that the headquarters Of
the National Grange of the Patrons
of Husbandry will soon be removed
from Georgetown to Washington,
where the Secretary's office will
hereafter be located, contains also
the following interesting statement
regarding the remarkable growth of
the order:
Since the first instant about $50
subordinate Oranges have been or
/ ganized, making the total number
of Oranges in operation to date,
Bower 4;70o with an aggregate mem
bership of about 100000. The Or
der seems to be growing most
rapidly in the States of Iowa (Which
has now seventeen hundred and fiji
ty Granges), Missouri, Indiana, Hi
nois, Minnesota, Nebraska, and
l Wisconsin. In response to requests
)kfrom different States, several addl-
. tional General Deputies have re-

Cypress them. The zeal and indus
try displayed by the committee in
the prosecution Of it's labors, show
that its heart is in the work; and so
much progress has been made, that
the needed Legislation by Congress
will be possible much sooner than
the most sanguine has dared to hope
for. And yet, in the face Of these
facts, and others which go to show
that the Republican party is in hear
ty accord with the demands of
the producing interests, sundry lit
tie convocations, composed OF sore
heads, office seekers, Liberals, and
Democrats in Iowa, are solemnly
resolving with parrot-like itera-
ton, that it Is useless to expect a
redress Of these grievances from
the Republican party. This Trans
portatation committee is the longest
step yet taken for reform and relief
in the matter of railroad abuses, and
for it the Republican party are sole
ly responsible.

Governor Carpenter and the Rankin
Bond.

The Democratic papers are, of
course, doing everything in their
power to place the action of Gov.
Carpenter, regarding the Rankin
defalcation, III a sinister light. The
fact that his name appears as surety
on an old bond given by Rankin, is
being used as point against him,
while the facts concerning it really
rebound to his honor and credit.
This bond was given by Rankin in
December 1870, to cover the term
of his office as Treasurer of the As-
ricultural College, which expired in
December 1871, some months before
the defalcation. AT the time it was
signed, no man in the State stood
higher than Rankin, and it would
not have been found difficult to have
gotten any number Of tirst-class
sureties on his bond. Gov. Carpen-
ter signed it without hesitation, and
dismissed the matter from his men,
Dry. After the defalcatlon of Ran
kin came to light, Gov. Carpenter,
in searching the State archives for
bond which would indemnify the
College, came across this old bond,
which, according to its terms, ex-
pired some months previous. To
his surprise, he found his own name
among others, attached as surety.
He sought to evade no responsible
ity, however, on account Of the pre-
sumed expiration of the bond, but
Immediately dispatched it to the At
torney General, with instructions to
that officer to examine it, and if
found still in force, to proceed to
enforce it against the signers. The
following is the material portion of
Gov. Carpenters letter to the Attor-
ney General. We ask our readers
to peruse it, and then say if it
sounds like the words of dishon-
est man.
cit has always been a conviction
with }hof ho,, n
public trust his official duties are
above his private and personal in
terest; therefore, desire to say
now that if you regard this bond
as valid and as covering any por-
ton of Rankin's defalcation, l hope
you will take prompt steps to col
lect upon it, and should you be in
doubt as to it's legal effect, in view
of the time which has elapsed since
it was given, l desire you to give
the State the benefit Of the doubt, and
proceed to the collection, or, at least
to the determination of the doubt
through the courts. The only thing
that will give us administration Of
public affairs in the interest of
pure government, is to promptly
expose every delinquency, no mat
ter who it may involve, and to rig
idly enforce the law in the collec-
ton of forfeited securities, no mat
ter who may suffer; and notwith-
standing my circumstances are such
that the payment of any considera-
BILE sum would take all l have, yet
it will not hurt me any more than
any body else in the same situation,
and / desire to see the law enforced
to the end"

THE only advice which the Clin-
ton dye, one of the leading Demo
cratic papers in Iowa, has to give
to its party in its present emergency
is contained in the following mixed
paragraph. 1t illustrates the fear
full plight to which the party is re-
duced:
"And now if no State nominations
shall be made by our party, we trust
every Democrat will 60 where he
"can do the most good" Then when
all of us shall have tired of running
after strange gods, we have no
doubt we shall return to the inimit-
able principles Of Democracy, no
matter what may be the name of the
organization which shall carry the
old banner"
Taking the -igo at its word, many
honest men in the Democratic party
will think that they "can do the
most good" to the State by voting
the Republican ticket.

In the inception of the farmers
movement the Inter- Ocean took the
ground that it was the duty Of the
Republican party, controlling as it
did not only national affairs but
large majority of the State govern
ments, to respond promptly to the
cry of distress which went up from
the producers Of the West. The
justice of the demand for relief from
railway abuses was so clear, the
wrongs against which the farmers
protested were so patent to the most
casual observation, that it scarcely
required argument to demonstrate
the ovcrshadowing Importance of
the question suddenly raised by the
producing classes. We did not
hesitate then to declare that all ec-
onomic questions must soon give
place to that Of transpc ration,
which touches not only producers
but consumers, and 50 involves the
entire community. The Republi-
can party is responding nobly to
the pressing necessity for relief,
backed by the earenst appeals Of
the agricultural class, which felt
first the calling oppression. The
Republican Conventions Of Ohio,
Iowa, Maine, and Minnesota have
planted themselves squarely on the
Issue made by the railway reform
ers, taking the side Of the people,
and pledging all the political power
of those great States TO the new en-
ancipation proclamation of 1873, the
emancipation of tae industrial inter-
ests Of the country from the tyranny
of moneyed monopolies.
To those who predicted that the
Republican party had lost its vigor,
that it would bow before the laugh
ty dictation of the railway power,
its present attitude affords signal
contradiction. 1t is as courageous
as when it met full armed REBEL
ion; as sternly just as when it called
Andrew johnson before the bar of
the Senate to answer to the charge
Of high misdemeanors. 1t is as
prompt now to call to account the
railway men of the country who
WELD the seductive and aggressive
power of s3,50O,OoO,Oo0 capital as
it was in the time of Abraham Lin
coin to strike the shacklcs from
three millions of bondmen.-Hater

the engineer suddenly saw rail
move from its place about so feet
ahead of the engine. He instantly
reversed his engine and applied
the air brake, and while in the act
Of doing so, bullets came pelting in
to the engine like hail.
The engine ran into the bank and
turned over, throwing out the en-
gineer and fireman, the former fall
ing upon the latter dead. 1t is sup
posed that he was killed by concus-
sion, as no bullet wound was found
upon his body. The fireman cs-
capped unhurt.
The train being very heavy ran
about 100 feet and stopped. The
two baggage cars were badly
smashed. AS soon as the train
stopped six large, athletic men,
masked in full Ku Klux style, APP
peared at the express car in which
were seated the Conductor William
Smith, Superintendent Royce, the
express messenger, John burgess,
and three other persons, and COM
menced firing rapidly into the car,
yelling, "Gct out, there, d-n ye,
get out of there" Two bullets
passed through the clothes of the
conductor, one grazed the skull Of
the baggageman, and another
the side Of the express messengers
head. The inmates jumped out
when they were ordered to the rear,
under cover of half dozen navy
revolvers. Two Of the robbers
marched up and down the train,
threatening to shoot any person who
showed his head on the train, say
ing, ''get down out Of sight, d-n
ye, or we'll shoot ye."
The robbers then took about ST.
600 from the express safe, cut open
the mail bags but took no letters,
and mounted each horse and rode
off across the prairie in a southerly
direction, the whole being done in
less than ten minutes.
They failed to cut the telegraph
wires, and word was at once sent
in all directions to intercept the rob.
bers. Their dress, voice and man
ners indicate that they were bush
whackcrs, and they evidently in
tended to get the usual valuable ex-
press matter by this route Mon
days, but which went through on an
express train Sunday night.
The robbers had during the day
stolen Il spike bar and hammer
from q hand car house at the near
est station. They drew the spikes
from one end of the rail and fas-
tened a small cord to the other end,
and secreted themselves several
rods away. AS the engine APP
preached they pulled the rail out of
place, but the promptness Of the
engineer and the air brakes saved
the passengers from harm, as not
one Of them Vas injured. The track
was at once laid around the
wrecked cars and the train resumed
its trip, arriving here at 1880 this
morning, bringing the dead body of
the engineer, who resides here, and
who leaves wife and three child
rem.
The managers of the Rock Island
road offer q reward Of $4,000 for
the detection of the fends who
wrecked the train near Adair.

REPUBLICANS who are induced to

ali this in the face of the most de-
termined and bitter opposition OF
1.-THE Democratic party is yet SO cor
rupt that only an infusion of Demo

\ logic OF the new party movement is
that it will not do for the country to
rtrust it's friends, but that reform and
ktood government and justice are only
TO be had by alliance with the party
! which has always been the enemy
of reform and good government and
Justice. 1t would be well if those
Republicans who yet profess adhe'
france to the principles OF the party
but who have been caught in the
"reform" net, to inquire whether
their integrity requires such an adj
mixture as this, to make it perfect,
and also whether reform is more

DR.. A. TRASK'S
MAGNETIC OINTMENT
FOR THE CURE OF
INFLAMMAToRY DISEASES.

DR.. TraSk was engaged for twenty years in
course Of experiments upon the medical prop
critics and power Of vegetables, separate and
combined. At the age Of seventy years he sue
ceeded in presenting TO the world as the result
of his experiments, combination of Vegetable
extracts, the power Of which in removing dis
eases is unequaled in the annals OF Medicine.
His discovery consists in a combina-
ton of these powerful Vegetable Extracts with
Electricity or Magnetism in the form of an ONT
ment.
Certain. It is, that the remarkable and
unprecedented success which has attended its
application in the cure of diseases, stamps il at
once as the greatest discovery of the age, and
calls for trial and close investigation Ct its
properties.
1t never fails, whilc there remains suf-
hcient life to restore natural and healthy &c
ton to the capillary vessels of the body, and
rqualize the circulation OF the blood. BY this
means controlling power is gained over the
most malignant forms Of disease, which cannot
be obtained from any other remedy.
Such IL tho power Of this combinn.
ton, that it penetrates to every portion OF
the human frame; every bone and muscle, vein,
nerve and ligament is searched out and made
sensible Of its purifying and healing influence.
Hence it copes as readily with internal as ex-
;ernal disease.
Numerous instances are on record
where this remedy has restored health to pa.
tients so near the grave that the most powerful
internal remedies failed to produce any effect.
Such has frequently been the case in lnfiamma-
ton Of the Bowels.
No patient over need die with this
disease where the Magnetic Ointment can be OBJ
tanned.
For Infla mmatory Rheumatism
this Ointment il the most complete remedy ever
prepared. For Diphtheria or Putrid Sore Throat
It is unrivaled
In nincty.nlnc cases out Of
hundred it will afford entire relief to the worst
cases Of Nervous Headache in thirty minutes.
For Nervous Diseases this medicine Is
OF immense value. y
Affections Of inc Spine. Rheumatism,
I.ameness liberated Sore Throat, Bronchitis,
Pleurisy, Group Collie, Cholera Morbus, Ague in
the Face or Breast, Burns, Scald Head, ScrOfula,
