The new Code which goes into eff
feet next month is pretty severe in its
penalties against selling or giving
away intoxicating liquors TO minors
and intoxicated persons or those in
the habit of becoming 80. The exact
language of the statute is that 'sit shall
be unlawful for any person to sell or
give away, by agent or otherwise, any

person violating the provisions of this
section shall forfeit and pay to the

The New Party Convention.

From time to time the question of
turning the Changers of this county
into . political party has been discuss
cd within the Grange and outside of it
among its members. The good sense
Of . majority. and as we understand,
an overwhelming majority of the
Grange meeting in this city has OPP
posed such step, and voted it down.
So much has clearly leaked OUT
However this may be, certain spirits
who labored for this proposition in the
Grange have not been satisfied, bxt
fsiling iD their efforts, they have made
use of whatever means they could
through the Grange Organization an d
out Of it, to organize a party which
they call the Peoples party, and which
in the State Convention call is known
as the anti-Monopoly party, and in
such counties as Mahaska and Marion,
where the delegates were elected BY
the Oranges, and sent a. delegates from
Oranges, and not from townships. it
may properly be called the Grange
party pure. @
No matter how these results have
some about, primarily they had their
origin from the same source in whole
or In part. In this county the District
organizer Of Oranges throughout this

bring abont Grange party; that he
failed was not because he did not make

displayed In this regard.
While all this has been the case, and
well known to the cavilers aud revi-
lers themselves, there are those who
hate us, and have, in times past, and
!. still continue TO report all manner of
evil and false accusations against us !;
they do it wilfnlly, and they may have
4 led some honest men for q time astray,
but we are satisficd that in the end.
we will be vindicated, and we only ask
that the files Of our paper shall be IA.
ken as the. best evidence. aud they
are open to the inspection of all who
viii look Ut them.
We ask for no credit for what we
have done for the Order. We desire
none, save the candid judgment of
Changers, but we do believe that the
information we have tried to give up.
on the subject OF railroad tariff legis-
lation has been beneficial to the
Grange, and that our views upon the
question of politics in the Grange has
also been useful. Right here we think
is the secret of the hate and falsehoods
that have been uttered against u.s.
Feeling the influence of the COURIER
in its efforts to prevent the Grange
from being totally wrecked and de-
destroyed, by transferring it as body
into political party, we have incurred
the hate of certain Changers, many OF
whom are unworthy the name Of
Changers, We say, feeling the CouR-
HERS influence, these men seek to de-
stroy that influence by nisrepresent-
| ing us. We pity them for they are the
party most injured in the end. We
have never held the Grange organiza.
ton as responsible for the peoples OF
apti-monopoly, movements, or any
other political movements, but, on the
contrary, have said that the good sense
Of the Changers had led them to pro.
nounce against the Grange as body
entering into any political party. We
hsve, however, deprecated. and scourg.
ed as we expect to scourge the men
who have sought to control the Grange
for partisan purposes, and have made
use OF their position ss Changers SO to
do.
We beg pardon for saying this much
upon this subject bat the article Of
"IowA Granger" led us to think that
perhaps W were not awars how much
We were bsing miarsprsssntsd, and
ought to make some statement In de-
! Tense of ourselves.

The AcdlGnche, in lengthy article OPP
posing the funding of The past due indebt-
edness of the State, says:
"Tbe bin which has passed the Senate
provides for the funding Of the $5,791.OOO
bonds issued for the Confederate Military
Board, ard whose assumption is expressly
prohibited by an amendment % the Consti-
tuition of the United States"
To those who have read the Senate bill,
it is unnecessary to say that it does not
provide for funding the military bonds, nor
any other Confederate securities or obliga-
tons. No such bill has been introduced;
no such project has been suggested in either
House of the Legislature. The twelfth
section of the Senate bill, of which the 40
GLdnche speaks, is as follows:
Be it further enacted, That the bonds and
coupons thereto attached, issued by author
ity of the General Assembly Of the State,
ia compliance with law enacted and in force
at the time of their issuance, whether they
were Issued preuio1S to the 9th day Of May,
1851, or subsequent to the reorganization of
the State Government, on the Sd day of
April, 1865, may be funded or registered
according to the provisions of this act; Pro-
Ujded, that all bonds ana coupons thereto
attached, issued by the authority, or pre-
tended authority of the General assembly;
or by the authority or pretended authority
ofdRg body or dSsembldge Of men pretend
ing, or claiming to be the General Assem-
big of the State of Tennessee, on and after
the 6th day Of May, 1851, up TO the Sd day
of ApriL, 1866, t0hen the government of the
State Of Tennessee 11dS recognized under
the constitution, and schedule thereto, rdti-
fed and adopted by the people on the 22d
day Of February, 1865, and all bonds or u
abilities issued for tvGr purposes, shall be
and are hereby expressly excepted from the
provisions OF this act, as hereinbe0re de-
fined; and prOuided further, that the pro-
visions of this act, shall not embrace, but
expressly exclude any and all bonds known
TO have been stolen or purloined from the
State, or bonds which were fraudulently
issued or obtained.
Tie Avalanche in the same article says
that these S5,791 900, bonds issued to the
Military Board 'appear in every official re-
port as part of the just debts Of the State"
Again the AuGlGnche is mistaken. In no
official report since the war 10 they appear
Gas part of the just debts of the State"
They constitute no part of the S20,966,-
352.l9 "total State debt" reported by
Comptroller Pennebaker. The interest
upon them form no part of the past due
coupons proposed to be funded.

deal fairly by their mother earth, making
full and just restitution for all crops bar
vested, or in any way gathered, as we'll as
deal honestly with one another? Moral
science is as applicable TO agriculture as 10
any other human action. A "bad habit" In
farming extended. and widely multiplied,
will desolate a continent, and ruin great
republic. That this wrong is done
through ignoranes, does not abate the evil
or lessen the injury q particle. That the
soil loses elements Of fruitfuiness by tilage
and the re moval of crops, all cultiyators see
and believe; but how much of plant food
is really lost, and how the loss can be best
compensated in the depleted soil, are ques-i
tions of fact not yet decided. We COM
plain of Congress and of State Legislatures,
who ought to represent the agricultural in
terests fairly and intelligently, that they do
nothing tc aid rs in restoring the essen
tials of crops to the land which the nation,
as whole, has impoverished. The inhab-
itants OF cities and villages could not live
without the wheat, corn, meat and
other provisions, taken from
country landed estates. These town
people are profoundly indifer-
ent whether our estates are made unpro-
ductive and vaIueless or not. They are
willing to apply arith netic to mercantile,
commercial, ban king and manufacturing
operations, but NOT to the increase and de-
crease of the substances in the soil that
form their most in portant staples. 1t is
enough for ten million farmers in nearly
fifty States and territories to have one
man in Washington to guess at the annual
increase and decrease of crops, to give ex-
act knowledge on this subject, which q
mathematical people re quire! Weights and
measures and arithmetic were not made to
enlighten the business OF tillage and hus-
bandry. Hence we have no use for the
maps and engineering tools Of Washing

The House bill to lay off the State into
ten Congressional districts yesterday passed
the Senate On its third and last reading
without amendments. The districts are
not such as we would have preferred. We
especially regret the placing of Robertson
county in the fourth district. The bill now
only awaits the Governors signature to
make it TIE law for the remainder of this
decade.
