.s Marshal sBazaipe Found Gutlty.s

After a long deliberation, the Judges, on
the 10th inst. declared Marshal B.zaine
guilty for the capitulation Of Metz, and Of
the army in the open field, without doing all
that was prescribed by his honor and duty to
avoid the surrender. The court condemn
ed him to death and to be degraded from
his rank previous to the execution. After
judgment, the members Of the court signed
an appeal for mercy, and the Duke de
Aumale' the Judge who pronounced the
sentence, conveyed the appeal in person to
President Mcmahon. The President COM
muted the sentence to twenty years seclu-
sion, and to be degraded in rank, without
going through the humiliating ceremony
of degradation. The island of ST. Mar
gueritte, off earns, has been selected as
the place Of confinement.
the Marshal writes to his counsel to
take no further steps in his behalf He

receiving and reading resolutions which
were referred to appropriate committees

minds, motives and feelings Of others. We
are very apt to distrust the man whose mo-
tives we do not understand. Farmers
have lived too much apart, and in their
ignorance of one another, it would not be
at all to be wondered at if they distrusted
each other; and not being intimate enough
to be interested in, that they should be
jealous Of each other. But the Grange is
doing away with this; men are brought in a
closer relationship they are brought to
understand each others feelings and mo-
tives, and feelings of friendship spring up
to take the place of old distrusts and
j9alousies.
Patrons should struggle to keep all such
feelings far from them, and the man who
will say. do or write anything designedly
to awaken distrust or jealousy among the
members should be looked upon as one Of
the very worst enemies to the Order,
whether inside or out, and if inside Of the
Order, should be reprimanded, and if re-
form is not worked the offending brother
should be forever cut off from association
with the members.
jealous man is more dangerous than q
rattle snake, and more unreasoning than a
mad dog. The enemies Of the Order will
no doubt try to get up disputes and hard
feelings. Such attempts should be resist
ed, spurned, and their authors ostracised.
Of all things let US avoid petty jeal-
ousies and jealousy of every shape.
The Grange advance., 1873-12-17
Jealousy.

We have 1t constantly thrown in
our teeth that the formers can never ac-
complish anything because they are 50
jealous and distrustful Of one another.
These assertions do not always come from
the enemies of the farmers movement, but
are made in all sincerity by persons who
sympathize with the farmers and wish them
to succeed in their efforts for reform and
the elevation of their calling.
Now farmers, is there any truth in this
charge? There is nothing so destructive
Of all good, and nothing that will so utterly
destroy all business and retard any cause
as jealousy. And when such charges are
made, it is we'll to examine our lives, our
conduct toward, and our thoughts and.
words about our brothers, to see whether
any Of these miserable feelings are in any
way influencing us. Jealousy and distrust,
We believe, very often come from want of
acquaintance and familiarity with the
MIR. Colder referred to the necessity of
opening the mouth Of the Mississippi for
sea-going vessels in the carrying trade
This work should be done by the general
Government. 1t would materially cheaper
transportation. A greater question than
that Of transportation. is the question Of
tariff and currency, but as Patrons differ
so widely on these matters he would not
discuss them.
at the conclusion of the address COM.
mittees were announced, and the conven-
ton adjourned until the next morning,
when resolution was adopted requesting
all members and agents Of the Order not
to buy any machinery from plow manufac-
turers who at meeting in Chicago resolved
not to sell to Changers at discount or
from their agents. J.. T.. - ~.

The Dailies on the War Question.

The Dispatch is the only paper in the State
that we have seen that has kept up its
steady war whoop. Blood has been in its
eye from the very first news of the capture
Of the Virginius. Vengeance upon Cuba
and death to certain Indian agents and con-
tractors have about equally shared its
columns. We hope the Dispatch will feel
better soon.
The Press was opposed to war until the
news came that Spain was unable to con-
troll the Cuban Spaniards and compel them
to perform the conditions of the settlement
between our Government and Spain, and
then it howled for war as Justify as the
Dispatch.
The Tribune was very onsartin'' wheth-
er it was in favor Of war or peace until
after it read Charles Summers letter on the
subject, and then it discovered that there
was not the least occasion for war, and
never had been.
We do not know what position the Even-
ing Times has taken.
The Pioneer has, in our opinion, main
tanned the soundest, most honorable; and
straight forward position of any paper we
have seen, and we notice that the last mum.
Der of Harper's Weekly gives as edito-
rial matter a rehash Of the arguments
used by the Pioneer two weeks ago. One
Of these arguments is, that it is not every
vessel that may sail under American colors
that is entitled to American protection {:
otherwise every pirate that should choose
to unfurl the American flag would be pro.
tected by it, and would not be liable to CAP
ture. This would be degradation of our
national emblem, in comparison with which
an unpunished insult or outrage upon it
would be trifling. 1t is only when a vessel
is legally and rightfully sailing under our
flag that she is entitled to the protection
which, thank God, that flag can give.

The Illinois State Gran9e.

The third annual meeting of the Illinois
State Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry,
composed of Masters of subordinate
Oranges, met at Bloomington on the 9th
inst, between six and seven .. m.. there
being 700 delegates present. 1t was
thought that the body is too large for ef-
fective work and it will probably be cut
down This grange was organized March
5th, 1871, the subordinate Oranges then
numbering 20; they now number over
800. The Master If the State Grange, Mr..
Colder, delivered an address, reciting the
history of the organization, and deprecat-
ing the fact that some Of the subordinate
Oranges, contrary to the prohibition of the
National Grange, have acted with political
organizations. He is not opposed to the
Farmers Association, but thinks that it
should not interfere with the Grange organ
ization. The former is largely committed to
political action. The best plan for preventing
the extortions Of middle men, he thinks,

Grange patronage, both in purchase and

enterprises are being established in the
interest Of the farmers to a limited extent.
Complaint has been made that the Gov
ernor and State Senate paid no attention to
The wishes Of the Grange as expressed in
its last annual meeting, in reference to the
appointment Of the Railroad Commission,
He thinks this disregard of their wishes
will continue until the farming class, by
intelligence, and by vigilance over the con-
duct of officials, will show to them that they
cannot evade proper punishment for cor
ruption or inefhciency. The Order is not
divided in opinion as to the right Of the
State to control chartered monopolies when
they are Of a public character.

etreetS crOWOed with teams. Mercnants
and everybody else are unusually busy
Eastern papers are full Of congratulations
on the improvement Of the money market.
The Chicago Tribune says:
The improvement in the aspect Of finan-
cial affairs and the increase Of business in
all parts of the country have been very de-
cided during the past week, and the pro-
gress winds up with an important rise in
the i prices Of Western products:
Sober minded people, who see that money
is rapidly becoming abundant as confidence
in the general solvency Of the trading and
manufacturing classes revives, think it
would be the height Of folly to initiate the
currency now, when we have got so near
down to the ':bard pan," that the change
to a specie basis could be made with less
Gus time since the war
The supply Of money in this market is
steadily increasing. The pork-packers and
lumber dealers still require large accommo-
dations at the banks, but there is very little
demand from other departments Of trade
In the open market the supply of money in
creases more rapidly than in the banks, but
prime commercial paper is very scarce.
Money has been loaned in some instances,
in the last few days, at 10 per cent. per an
mum on demand loans, which it is tacitly
understood by both parties will be allowed
to run several months. For specified time
loans of 60 and 80 days, however. IL per
cent. is asked yet, though the supply at
that rate is in excess of the demand.

PETIT1oN.-To the Honorable Members
of the Legislature Of the State Of Mime
sofa, Sixteenth Session: The petition Of
your petitioners respectfully shows that,
WHEREAS, Chapter eighteenth of the
Revised Statutes Of Minnesota contains
what in our opinion is q good and whole
some fence law: and whereas the last Ler-
islature saw fit to excuse certain persons
improving lands in Goodhue Co. from the
operations Of that law, making thereby, in
our opinion, an unjust discrimination and
whereas that act is recorded in Chapter
ninety-nine Of the acts Of the last Legisla-
ture, we, therefore, legal voters and resi-
dents Of Goodhue County, pray your hon.
orable body to repeal said Chapter ninety
nine Of the General acts Of the Legislature
Of the Fifteenth Session. 8
Dated vt Goodhue Co., Dec, 1873.
The above is copy Of the petition being
circulated hy Rev. J. G. Johnson on behalf
OF the Featherstone Grange for the repeal
Of the amendment to the fence law pass ed
last winter, affecting Goodhue County. By
mistake we called it in our last issue the
cattle law. 1t is the amendment to the
fence law that our brothers of Featherstone
wish repealed. The Featherstone Grange
respectfully invite the Oranges of the
County to unite with them in this petition.
and to that end to copy the above petition,
circulate the same, and after obtaining all
the signers possible, to send the same with
the names to the Office of The GRANGE AD-
VANCE.

The Grange Advance, Of Red Wing, has
cut off the Tribune from its exchange list.
This is something of hardship, as we
would like to see what Brother D0nnelly
has to say, and we have no other resource,
as the paper hasn't subscriber, that we
can hear of, north Of the Minnesota river
Minneapolis Tribune.
The Tribune could not lie, and would not
lie, and never does lie, except-well-ex-
cept when it does not speak the truth. A
great many people believe: this exception
usually covers about four pages Of its daily
issue, but we do not think 80, for we never
knew man who did not tell the truth
sometimes. even if it was by mistake or
accident.
The Tribune never was upon the exchange
list Of The GRANGE ADVANCE, still, it seems
We have cut it off. 1t isn't everybody that
can accomplish such feat. 1t is next in
sinuated that Mr.. Donnelly is running The
GRANGE ADVANCE. The Tribune should
not quote from libeler Perkins, without
giving him credit. This is not fair. Hon
or among-what do you call them-you
know. But, ah! here's the meat of the
thing: '' The paper hasn't subscriber, that
sre can hear Of, north Of the Minnesota river. I"
This is consoling to the little jealous
soul of the writer. The ugly fact, howev-
er, remains that we have got nice list of
subscribers right in Hennepin county, and
even in Minneapolis. The Tribune needn't
have taken pains to inform its readers that
it does not hear Of events that take place
right under its nose, within six weeks
thereafter. That's old to them.

witness the amount Of toadying the DR.. sees
fit, or is compelled to perform. He is now
going to write a series Of letters to Jesse

to be published in the Sunday School -Aduo-

Minneapolis wants another Government
al appropriation of $500, GOO to put into the
Falls When will they be done wanting up
there? They seem to have no idea that any
other part Of the State is entitled to any
thing of this kind If it is proper to ap-
prcpriate Government money to build up
water powers, we can see no reason why
similar appropriations should not be made
in aid Of steam powers. We have no doubt
the same amount Of money judiciously en-
ployed in building up home manufacturing
interests in other parts Of the State would
be Of hundred fold more benefit to the
State at large than to use it in chinking
dams and broken tunnels at Minneapolis.
Wo do not want to be understood as favor
ing that kind Of appropriations, but if any
more such are to be made for this State,
just let Minneapolis stand back for awhile.

The committee on Resolutions reported the
following, which were unanimously passed;
RESOLVED, That the principles of the re-
publican party, as heretofore expressed in its
conventions. in regard to State and national
affairs, are re-afiirmed; it is declared that
events have proved that their practical en-
forcement is essential to the welfare of the
State and nation, and the maintenance of the
interests, rights and liberties of the people.
RESOLVED, That in view of the fact that
the republican party has so met the vital is
sues of the past twelve years as to secure the
support of a vast preponderance of the patrl'
otism and intelligence of the nation, it has
fairly won for itself the right to the title OF
being the true reform party of the country.
RESOLVED, That the republicans of Maine
demand at the hands of those they have cho-
sen to conduct the affairs of the nation and
State, rigid economy, to the end that taxes
may be reduced as rapidly as is consistent
with good government.
RESOLVED, That this convention protests
against the granting of another acre of the
public domain to railroad or other corpora
tons; and we further declare against any
grant of the National credit for, or National
participation in, the building of canals or
railroads, believing that policy is toward
prodigality and corruption.
RESOLVED, That we heartily applaud the
active measures of the late Congress in fer
reting out and exposing corruption, and We
have seen with profound regret, in the dis
closures made thereby, evidence of politica
and official corruption, and the abuse of re
sponsible positions by men Of all politica
parties, and we demand pure official conduc
