T 1t is rot little singular, indeed,
says the Springfield Republican, how the
old Democratic leaders are getting pos
session of the modern Republican party.
In 1860, General Grant was an obscure.
retired army officer, working on small
salary in leather store in Galena, Ills,
and only known in politics as an ardent
Douglas Democrat; at the same time
General Butler. now the leading repre-
sentative of the Administration in Con-
gl less, was voting for jeff Davis nomin-
alton for the Presidency in the Charles
ton Convention, and Caleb Gushing,
just appointed minister to Spain by a
Republican Administration, was presid-
ing over the same convention. Truly,
the times change, and we change with
them.

The ORANGES. From all parts of Mis-
souri, we hear the most fattering account
of the Oranges. Thus far the members
of this organization have conducted
themselves so as to win the respect of
all classes; and we believe the majority
of the different professions and calliIgs
concede that the farmers have the same
right to work together and organize and
work in harmony that the bankers, mer
chants, lawyers, physicians, and other
classes have. We hear the most fatter-
ing accounts everywhere of the growth
of the Order. Now that the autumnal
evenings are upon us, we expect to hear
of hundreds and thousands uniting to-
gether in the strongest brotherhood
known to modern times. Everything
is working in favor of the Order. No
one has yet regretted joining it. No
one has yet been back-s]ider. Every
member is working earnestly to increase
the membership. Old and young, male
and female, are pleased with it, and
laboring for it. Cur State is now sec
ond in number of Oranges and of mem.
bers. If the membership increases for
year as it has for the past six months.
Missouri will stand at the head.-Cole
