"MUsT RESULT IN GOOD"

That this movement, will work a reyOlu-
ton in this state, none can doubt. Whether
that revolution will accomplish the ends
aimed at, is another question, and that is
open to debate. 1t may fall far short of
what its friends anticipate. but it must
necessarily result in some good. 1t VIII, at
least, compel the political parties to no mi
nate good men for places of public trust +,
and has been growing so tearfully prevalent
in all departments of the government.
If harmony characterizes their meeting
in June, and wisdom prevails in its coun-
sells although they may not succeed in
electing the ticket then nominated the
opening will be made for a future and COM
piete success. 1t is possible ticket may
not be placed in the field, but the meeting
will go far toward shaping the action OF the
two political conventions called to meet
shortly afterwards. The mutteriDg of the
thunder is heard in the atmosphere and the
political skies are overloaded. A tempest
is coming. and the old gods will be swept
away The storm has been brewing for
several years. 1t may, probably, cul-
inmate this year. but the deluge may
this and other states next fall, it is prob
able they will aspire to control the presiden-
tial election of 1876. and the struggle for re-
form may thus reach INTO national affairs.
The call issued contemplates township,
county and district meetings for the purpose
of selecting delegates to the convention. In
the call to townships, ETC., the reformers are
warned to "gusrd vigilantly against the in
! trusion of any one not known to be in cor
dial sympathy with the objects OF this move
ment," and concludes by saying 1.-The sue
cess of this popular outbreak depends upon
seeking demagegaes."

FLAG.
From the Terre Haute Gazette.
There is trouble in camp over the farmers
| call for a state convention on the 10th day of
June next, an account of which, taken from
the Indianapolis Sentinel. was published in
the Gazette of yesterday. The Sentinel OF
this morning contains what purports to be
resolutioas adopted by the Grangers, yester-
day, declaring that the call for convention
published by the Sentinel was never made
by them. These latter resolutions the India
napolis Ie2rnal also published, and goes wild
this morning In its denunciation OF what 1t
calls the SentinePs fraud. The whole edi-
torial force seems to have been ordered to
take up the eudgel and belabor the Sentinel.
The work Is clumsiiy done. A plentiful
| lack of facts and a superabundanceo of venom
seems the especial weapons OF the Journal.
| FOR ltS6it In6 SouIlnel Sd tudt bu0 IoSOlu-
tions of denial which it publishes, and
which purport to come from meeting of
the grange, were sent into 1t without
names, or other authentic signs of coming
from the members of the grange remaining
/ in the city. 1t further declares that the
grange adjourned and the members scat
| tered to their several homes on the day
before the denial was Illuminated.
Moreover il declares that the call
which it published yesterday was
brought to it by lone of the highest Off
GERS in the agricultural societies ofthe state"
It's printing was requested by delegation
composed of the most trusted members OF
the grange; that hundreds of the calls were
stricken off and carried away by the farmers
to their homes for distribution. Whether or
not it may be called grange movement,
the Sentinel says it cannot tell, but asserts
roundly that it was the almost unanimous
resolve of the farmers attending the grange
meeting, though whetherit was In this capac-
ity as Grangers, or in the higher capacity as
men anI farmers, it does not know.
For ourselves, we confess we nsither
know nor care whether it was the
