the consideration of the State Grange They
were read aud referred to the committee on r1s-
OlutiOns, who after mature deliberation and a
careful revision, reported the following as EN-
bOdying the best expression of views of the rep
resentatiyes Of the State Grange. They were
adopted with hardly dissenting voice:
RAILROADS AND TRANSPORTATION
Whereas, We look with alarm upon the power
which mOnied monopolies are welding in our
land, and that we feel that the greatest danger
To our Republican institutions is in the undue
influence which is exerted by them aud where
as, railroads, like public highways. should be
conducted for the benefit and convenience of the
people; and whereas, they are conducted for the
benefit of capitalist, regardless of the public
good, therefore,
ResoIred, That it is the duty of the Govern
ment, National and State, tn interpose on behalf
of the people, that full justice may be done. IL
is the duty of the Legislature under the Consti-
tuition, To provide for a uniform aud equal rate
of assessment and taxation, and we call upon the
Legislature to railroads rs farms are asses
sed, according to value, regardless of incDme
Rcs0fred, That the present method of taxing
the property of railroads in our State by which
thrr property is not taxed one fourth as high as
the property of the poor man, is unjust, oppres-
siye, and frand upon the people and we de-
Inand the passage Of law, by which justice shall
be dealt out alike to the rich and poor, making
taxation uniform.
Rcsolrcd, That wc are in favor Of and deem IL
of vital Importance to the people of our State.
that law shall he passed regulating the freight
and passage tariff upon ali the railroads in our
State.

FEES AND SALARIES.

Resoirca, That in view of the fact that great
portion of the people of our State, who labor the
hardest are unable to pay taxes, which have be-
come burden grevious to- be borne, We are in
favor Of the strict, honest and economical admin
istration of our National and State Governments,
and of reduction IF the salaries and fees of ali
National, State and county officers.

The Herald under the head of 1.-THE Fu-
sion of the Bourbon Interests" says:
CouLt de Chambord has, as we are inform
ed from Vienna, again accepted the throne of
Frame. The tender was made to him by a
deputation of French legitimists some short
time since. He has now directly replied, ac-
cepting. He always and ever accepts; it is
according to dynastic rule and in accordance.
with the creed of Divine right. Whether the
King de jure will be more lucky in his crown
realizations just at present than he has been
heretofore remains for solution. He argues
his case with great ingenuity, as will be seen
elsewhere in the columns of the Herald.
From Vienna we learn that the Count
aforesaid, who hopes to be Henry the FIlt1,
has politely returned the visit of the Coun' ae
Paris. The interview, we are told lasleu c an
hour. 1t is said that the Count de rariS iol,
mally acknowledged the Cotins qe OIaiuoolu
to he the head Of the house OF BOURBON and
of tbe roval line of France. 1t becomes evil
dent that for time at least, reconciliation,
SO far as the two princes concerned, has been
ofyacted, Looked at from royal standpoint,
= o,econciliation of the heads of the two houses
the elder and the younger-is, in present
circumstances, the one thing needful. De
Chambord, though married, is childless. and
there is every reason to believe that he will
be the last representative of the elder branch
of the Bourbons. At his death De Paris will
be the recognized head of the Bourbon family.
1t has long been the desire of the French roy
allsts to bring about reconciliation-the plan
being that De Chambord shall take the throne,
De Paris being recognized as heir apparent.
De Chambord is fifty-three years of age and
De Paris is thirty five. 1t is no longer doubt
full that MacMahon favors fusion of the in
terests of the two houses; and MacMahon,
more than any other man to-day, is master Of
the situation in France. The imperiasts are
understood to be more or less in favor of the
restoration, the Prince Imperial being yet TOO

THIS has gone far enough. Sothern, the
actor, has inflicted himself in various forms
upon the public for months back, as joker,
fighter, etc., all by way of advertising him
self; and now the New York Times devotes
an entire column of editorial matter to him.
The Times puffs Sothern in very amusing
manner, however, and before proceeding to
condemn it for thus prostituting its columns,
this extract may be offered in proof of the as
sertion:
As a concoctor of puffs, Mr.. Sothern ought
to have wax figure of himself in his native
city-at Mme Tussaudss. Large fortunes
have been made in all trades by judicious and
| systematic advertising, and Mr.. Sothern has
| acquired, by long practice, mastery over the
art. You read down half the paragraph be-
| fore you discover that it is the same old yarn
| by the same old hand. 1t is like French cook
| ery-it disguises the taste of the original ar
ticle. You think at first you have never seen
1t bsfore-whereas you have had it on your
table every day. Had Mr.. Sothern's talents
| for we suppose he has talents, or of course
! the intelligent public would not 60 to see him
led him to invent quack pill, or soothing
cordial, or pectoral syrup, he would havo
made it a success, for he would have kept it
constantly under the noses or eyes of the pub
|
quack pill, He is always standing at the
corner of the street and calling our attention
to its virtues and properties. He is always
begging us to take little more Sothern-the
only geuniDe cure-all. -.,
He is always sending little "notices" of Il
to the papers and sticking placards about It
ON the walls, and distributing in immense
numbers beautiful portraits Of the inventor.
| The next he shows us a series of dissolving
views of Sothern assisting bereaved family,
'Sothern giving bottle OF Burgundy to q
starving man, Sothern preventing a child from
eating green apple, Sethern rubbing the
stomach of black man seized with cramps,
Sothern ladling out cough-mixture to a baby
| with cold, or benevolently wiping the nose
| of a little boy who has lost his pocket-hand-
kerchief In some form or other be is forever
thrusting himself before the public. He is
like the lastsnew liniment-always In the
way. We have not the slightest doubt that
he will gladly embrace the opportunity Of
writing few score OF letters about this article,
and paste il inside his friends hats-for .
man Of his kind naturally prefers 'notice"
ofany sort to no notice at all.

There are few periods In life more critical
than that in which sensibilities and strong
feeling begin to develop themselves in young
people. The question is about to be decided
whether what is at present merely romantic
feeling is to become generous devotion, and
to end by maturing into self-denial, or wheth-
er it is to remain only sickly sentiment,
and, by reaction, degenerate into bitter and
sneering tone.-Robertson.

 A simplifed pot-hook, which you can unfold, and it makes nice spring bon net for your wife; and it is equally easy to turn 1t into an overcoat, or you can use it for 8 handkerchief or standing collar.
 A compound toothpick, which will pick anything out of a hollow tooth from shoulder of meat to a toothache You unfold it and behold you have a step-ladder; give it another twist, and then you have aone-horse dray reverse it, and you have cottage with three rooms and an acre lot.
 An umbrella, so antagonistic to water that, if you should fall in the river with it, you would come out perfectly dry. It is altogether unnecessary even to hold it over you in a storm. Fold it up and it is a walking cane, press on a spring and it is coal 'scuttle; turn it inside out and it is a plug hat turn it again and you have pair of boots. Everybody gets dry who carries it. af..
