TnE Illinois State Grange meets

THE Illinois State Grange meets
at Bloomington on the l4th of April,
and the Chicago Tribune takes occa-
sion to say:
''The Grange, It must be under
stood, is not political; indeed, Adj
ministration newspaper organs are
particular to have this constantly
stated. But, says the Freeport Bat
letin:
'.If the Republican party had adj
hered to its original purpose. and
its destiny controlled by honest men,
and not gone after strange gods
plunder-there would have been no
occasion for the order now known as
the Patrons Of Husbandry."

To THE PoINT.-An exchange
says: Compare the publisher, Of a
newspaper, who has to go all around
the country to collect his pay, to q
farmer who sells his wheat on cred
it, and not more than o bushel to
any person. IL any farmer will try
the experiment Of distributing the
proceeds of his labor over two or
three distant States. for one year,
we will guarantee that he will never,
after that years experience, ask q
publisher TO supply him with pa
per year or two without the pay
for it."

WEDNESDAY, MARCH %. 1874.
IMPORTANT ELECTION.


In pursuance of sections 46 and "A
or an act passed by the Legisla-
ture- of Tennessee, on March 9th,
1873. the directors of Morristown
School District, No. IL. have APP
pointed Saturday next, the 28th day
of March, the time, and the Court
house the place, for holding an cleo
ton 90 see whether the people Of
Ehfs district will have Free School.
There has been no question sub
mitted to our people of more vital
Importance to all. nor will there
euer be. The result of Saturdays
election is fraught with interest to
every man, woman and child in the
district, and win tell, for veal or
woe, upon the future prosperity of
our town. What we need and must
have, is q neat, substantial and conf
naodiOus Free School house, and a
corps or energetic. competent educa-
tors, TO conduct what, under the
proper management, will be one of
the best free schools in the State.
The material for 3 frst-class
school is here In our very midst, and
the means to carry it on are even at
our dOers. Then where is the prop.
erty-holder who would not willingly
give the pitiable sum of 8 mills on.
the dollar to build up a school that
will raise from state of ignorance
and degradation, and make useful
members of Church and State, many
youth who is now cropping his way
in darkness, unable even to see the
light. Voters of Morristown, come
up to the ballot-box like men, like
benefactors of the human race, and
give one vote, the only one perhaps
in your life, specially for the little
children. What matters it If there
are some features of the school law
that you do not like? The law will
do good to countless millions, if you
will but do your duty. In your zeal
for the promotion of the happiness
of the rising generation lose sight
Of all foolish and fastidious criticism
of law intended to do good, re-
Numbering that humanity knows no
perfection.
Remember that Saturday next is
the day, the Courthouse the place,
the vote ''For Tax or No Tax"
Go, and, as you love your children
and would promote their happiness
and prosperity in after years, cast
your vote that they, and all others,
may be educated free; and thereby
act your reasonable part in raising
our fair East Tennessee from the
slough of ignorance and place her
upon level with her sister States.

MEETING OF DIRECTORS OF
" q R. E.

1.-The Directors Of this Road were
in session yesterday at the Company
Shops. A dividend of six per cent.
was declared payable to the Stock
holders. in equal instaliments, April
lst and October LIST, next. All ar
rears of the lease money due by the
Richmond and Danville Railroad
was paid up, and after the transac-
tien of some minor business the
meeting adjourned. "-C Crescent.
We clip the above as the only
news to give our readers in regard
to consolidation. 1t appears that
the North Carolina Road is flush
with money, and this would look
like some guarantee for the building
of the road West.
1t seems that the Directors have
| been careful to conceal their senti-
ments upon the consolidation bill,
but this may mean business. and we
are net disposed to dictate any
special mode of action. From con-
versations with gentlemen from va
rious parts of the State, we believe
that a decided opinion is growing in
faver OF the great scheme. The
Western portion of the State has
recently been making its distressed
condition known, and our friends in
other portions of the State are wax
ing up in regard to our interest.
They see o determination on our
part to no longer submit to . bluff
game.
Quite a number suppose that some
swindling ring is yet to swallow the
whole enterprise, but we hope for
better things. Can it be true. that
any man occupying a high position
now in the State would ultimately
compel US to cry out, land thou too,
Brutus ?? We hope better now for
our leaders. The swindling of the
past has very naturally given rise to
unlimited suspicion-this is to be
expected. And in this point Of view
it is not strange that members III
the Legislature should act with grea'
caution. They very properly felt
the necessity of such safeguards as
would prevent the recurrence OF SIM
liar swindles in the future.
The bill presented to the North
Carolina Road gives all the power
necessary to bnild this great thor
oughfare, as we believe. and stick
ling now on small matters will not
give satisfaction to the people. The
men who now prove recreant may
expect to meet the uprising indig.

tains, scarcely less destructive than
the threatened volcanic fires that
now seem to be bursting into fury.
We are informed, however, that g

n. q. Road will meet within the
next thirty days to consider the con
solidation bill. -Ashecitie EGPoSitOr

THE TEMPERANCE MOVE
MENT.

AS no one subject is exciting more
interest throughout the country at
this time than that Of temperance, it
is gratifying to US to be able to chron-
icle the fact that the cause is in q
very healthy state in Morristown.
The series of prayer meetings has
been kept up every night for three
weeks. The attendance has been
remarkably large. The tone Of the
leaders in all the talks and exhOr-
taEions has been earnest, but calm
No extreme measures have at any
time been recommended. Two
thoughts have been steadily kept
prominent: The concentration of
all the moral element in the COM
munity in order to mitigate the evil
as much as possible, while the law
permits liquor to be sold. and the
development Of such sentiment in
the State that the next Legislature
will pass an "Option law, and the
Governor, who ever he may be, t0II
not dare Ueto the bill.
Ladies' have thoroughly canvass
ed the town, and nine out Of ten OF
the voters, together with the women
and children. have signed the pledge,
binding themselves in all prudent
ways to use their influence to secure
the passage Of an "OptiOn law"
Since the agitation OF the subject,
we have heard no one defend the ter
rible traffic. We feel proud Of our
people. They favor the utter eradi-
cation Of the evil. Already such q
feeling exists that some men are
afraid to be seen publicly going into
a saloon.
We hope it will not appear tc

The christian people, continue the
union prayer meetings. Much good
haa. already been accomplished
much more, we think, than the sen
sual observers see-but the good
results in every respect will be in
caIculable if these meetings be con
tinued, as heretofore, in the spirit Of
humility and brotherly kindness.

The CAMPAIGN. - All over the
State active preparations are being
made for the Fall campaign. Judg-
ing from the tone Of the press gem
orally, there is one point that is
pretty well settled. That is that
there is to be nothing like disorgan-
ization in the ranks Of the Democra-
cy. The convention system will be
strictly adhered to and disorgaizers
choled off. The disasters Of last
year were not without their lessons
and will not be repeated. The pa
pers which opposed conventions then,
are now the warmest advocates OF
the system.-Ripley NeaCs.
