RAILROAUS AND THE WHEA
MARKET.

A short time since the wheat syndi
cate which was buying wheat in the
-'r-'s;1uornooa CT ST. Croix, Wisconsin,
III the intercs. Of the railroad men. re.
fused to give but IS cents per bushel;
whcreupon the Grangesappointed men
to by where necessity coinpelle,t1ar
'ners SO sell, and otherwise store wheat
until better prices were offered by
buyers for transportation. They in
structed their agents to pay 80 cents
instead Of IS, as offered by the syndi-
cate. The spectators immediately.
thcreupon offered 95 cents.
Now, were the spectators swindling
the farmers when they refused to pay
more than q cents, OF did they deter
mine to lose money when they decided
to pay 50 cants-an advance OF nearly
~ per cent! If it had not been for
the Grange organization, the farmers
about st. Croix would have been com
;@iled to sacrifice their grain at 20 per
cent. less than its value. A similar
class OF facts will be found to exist in
every farming locality throughout the
Union. Nothing but a close organiza-
ion Ike the Grange has been found
sufficiently powerful to break down
sach oppression.

TIE LEGISLATURE.

1t does not seem to us that this BODY
is making much progress in useful and
important legislation 50 far. The bust.
ness thus far proposed is Of a petty
AMI rather small description. We had
INDUCED tbs Lope from the high. char.
acter Of tho gentlemen composing the
present legislative assembly that
measures Of paramount importance to
the interests Of the people would be
proposed and enacted. .-We confess to
a degree of1disappointment in he ac-
to4so far Of cur law mixers. THY
have little over three weeks in which
TO perfect bills. and We sincerely trust
thatthc remainder of their time will
be more profitably employed than has
been he case in the last eighteen DAYS
Of lis session. The people expect some
real and substantial legislation devel-
orinS the resources of the Territory
and aiding the interests of all classes.
Unless something of the Kind is done.
there will be great disappointment.

Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry,
states that there are, at present, four
teen hundred Oranges in the State,
with anayerage membership exceeding
fifty to the Grange, which would seem
to indicate something extraordinary in
the. way of growth since the last re-
ports, and, doubtless, Missouri must
rank somewhere near the head of the
States in it's Grange population. On
the first Wednesday, the 4th of Febru-
airy next, the National Grange will
hold a convention In st. Louis, when
every State. in the Union will be repre-

AND PROSPECTING En- -
PEDITION.

We give in to-day's paper full re-
ports OF the action of the Excessive
Committee of this Association, by
which it will he seen that great activity
prevails in getting up this important
enterprise. There exists on the part
Of all our citizens the fullest confidence
in its success, and they are coming for

They believe much good is to result
from the expedition. Circulars have
been sent to Madison county setting
forth the objects and an invitation for
cooperation, and we are assured the
people over there are taking good
deal of interest, and it is expected that
a good many from that county will
come over and join the expedition,
which will start early in February fully
-outfitted with wagons, arms, ammu<
milton, provisions, cattle and horses.
The supplies are intended for six
months, and all may rely upon all the
promises made by the Association III
that respect. The gentlemen who are
active in getting off this expedition in
good shape, arc the best. class of our
citizens Of high responsibility and they
ting Of the same. They intend every
thing to be in good shape. We are
gGatilied to find that our friends in the
country are coming up with liberal
contributions, and there is not citi-
zen in the county who will not be benc-
fitted by this important undertaking;
therefore all should throw in their
mite, and give it helping hand. A
title from each makes large aggre-
gate. The committee are busi:y at
work and will visit all portions Of the
county in order to afford every one an
to contribute. We trust
here will lie no hesitation on the part
f any one in coming forward and con-
literally to this expedition
y which the whole country will be
