OFFICERS OF THE GRANGE AS
CANDIDATES FOR POLITICAL
PREFERMENT.

| PREFERMENT.
The Kansas Farmer opposes the
nomination of NJ. E. Hudson, Master of
the Kansas State Grange. as candidate
for Governor of that State.
We know nothing Of the circum-
stances Of the case or Of the fitness or
unftness of the gentleman named for
that position, but we should say upon
general principles that the Kan sas
Farmer is right. Official position in
the Grange should not be made STEP
ping stone to political preferment, and
SO far as possible we should avoid the
very appearance Of evil in this direc-
ton. We do not mean to say that
there may not be circumstances under
which it would be perfectly proper to
call upon State Master to resign that
position for the purpose of accepting
the gubernatorial Office, or any other
Office, but such occasions must be verv
rare indeed.
If the Master Of the State
Grange is we'll fitted for
the duties Of that high Office,
and is wholly acceptable to the subor-
dinate Oranges, he should retain that
position, and be satisfied with the honor
pertaining thereto. If the contrary be
true, a better man for Governor can be
found very easily.
lfthe Grange has one mission grander,
higher and nobler than another, it is
to stop this abominable scrambling for
office, from which arises q very large
portion of the corruption Of the age.
Men who have spent thousands of dol
lars in securing nomination and an
election are bound to reimburse them
selves when they get the Office, and
having once got their hand in, they are
not over particular about taking out
just the amount and no more; and,
besides, it comes easier to get it in the
next time. Many a man whose every
political act has been purchased, COM
menced this kind of business with a
view simply to get back his elec-
tioneering expenses; and were it
not for this, would never have
fallen from honest poverty to dishonest
wealth as accursed as that that pur.
chased the Potter's Field.
For heavens sake, let US keep our
skirts clear in the matter, and see to it
that we bring no disgrace upon our own
cause and professions. The State Mas
ter who enters the dirty arena to
scramble for official preferment dis
graces his high position and brings re-
proach upon cur order.
If the people of Kansas. or very
large majority of them, call upon Wor-
thy Master Hudson to take the helm
OF State, he is not only justified but
bound to respond to the call, but as to
entering upon a political contest for the
same, we feel sure he will do no such
thing.
See what the Worthy Master of the
National Grange says about this matter.
Here is his letter in response to sugges-
tions that he be made candidate for
Congress:
"WAUKox, Ia., June s, 1874.
FRIEND METcALF Various papers in this
district have mentioned my name in oonnec-
ton with Congressional honors this fall.
Please say to the public that this has been
done without my consent, as my time is
fully occupied in a work more agreeable, and
hope more useful, than political canvass
OF the Third Congressional District
Respectfully yours,
DUDLEY W. ADAMS"

Recommended Him.

DR.. Jas. A. Bowers, of ElktOn had en-
ployed upon his place, an Irishman.
Some weeks ago the Doctor had visit
or, sick gentleman, and he was in
formed by his Irishman that his guest
owed him some money and that he was
"gOing to bate the money out of him,
be-jasus." DR.. Bowers told Pat that he
must not say anything to the gentleman
while he was his guest, but to wait un-
til he saw him down town, to which
Pat. assented. Very shortly afterwards,
however, while the Doctor and his guest
were sitting on the front porch, the
bloody Irishman appeared around the
corner and beckOned to the gentleman,
who started out to where he stood, when
the son of Erin shock his fist in his
face and says: "You're no gintleman,
sir, and you owes me money that I
worked for, and III have it, or faith III
mash your bloody ribs out % DR.. Bow
ers got up and started to where the par
ties were standing when he saw the
course events were taking, and just as
Pat finished his threatening peroration,
he landed well-aimed blow just under
his left ear, which spun him over two
or three times, and then gave him Wig
orOus kick on that part of his brooches
which generally need patching first.
The Irishman was thoroughly convinced
by this argument, and without replying
he balanced himself on his left ear and
waltzed around behind the smoke-hOuse.
Nothing more was said about the
| event until after Pat had finished the
job of work he had undertaken on the
farm, received his pay and took his de-
parture, when one day the Doctor was
in Pulaski he met him on the street and
was thus aceosted: HDOcther, ye thrated
me like gintleman, and faiGh thought
so much of yez L recommended yez &c
the Grand Jury as a gintleman, and be-
jasus good luck to yez!" The Doctor
submitted his case.

We are glad to learn that the second
term of the first session of this institu-
ton has opened with such cheering
prospects. The first term closed with
one Numbered and fifty-fye pupils, and
yet the second term has opened with
more pupils than the first did. The
first term opened amid sunshine and
pleasant weather and with a thousand
dollars of public school money 20 be
distributed pro rata among its patrons,
while the present term opened in the
midst Of rain and mud, and without
any promise of assistance from the
public school fund. In addition to this
a false report has been circulated, I'VE
hope not maliciously,) which has doubt
less done great injury to the school.
Under ali these circumstances the
teachers and trustees have cause for
congratulations that the pupils now
outnumber those Of the corresponding
first two weeks of the last term. We
are pleased to learn also that there is
a strong probability that the new col
lege building viii be erected during
the coming Spring and Summer. Al
together the prospects are very encOur-
aging to the friends and patrons of
Martin Female College. Let those that
hear the report that this school has
u collapsed" or 'gone to pieces" or
weakened" or 'failed," or anything
Of that kind, pay no attention to it. 1t
IS a mystery how such a report ever
attained any circulation in the face OF
such overwhelming facts to the con-
trary.

Criminal Court.

Criminal Court was engaged from last
Thursday evening to Monday evening
upon the Whit case, the defendent be-
ing charged with assaulting one Ben
Vance, cold, with intent 10 commit
murder in the first degree. Messrs. N.
& F. Smithson and Attorney General
Russell prosecute, and Col. VIM. F,
Kercheval, of Fayetteville, and Judge
T. B. Logan appeared for the defendant.
The case was more deliberately argued
than any that has occurred in years, and
a greater amount of legal talent was
never brought to bear upon one case at
this bar. The defendant was acquitted.
He is also indicted for murder, and his
case was taken up yesterday.
The case of John TOmlin has not been
reached, there seeming to be DISPOSE
ton upon the part OF counsel for the
prosecution to continue it.

Our Roads.

While we are advocating new roads
through the county, let us not FORGE
that old ones need repairing. The
pixies TO ElktOn and Columbia have
been surrendered by the company, ant
they are rapidly going to destruction
Would 1t not be wise to organize new
company, purchase the States interest
obtain a surrender of stock, and re-
establish these roads? An average Of
$500 per mile Immediately appliedwould
restore and make them first-class. The
people of Pulaski, Elkton and inter
mediate country should think of this
Let some enterprising man start the
ball at once.

Southern Literature.

Every now and then we hear the com
plant made, t.There is no Southern lit
erature. Our books are all written at
the North, aud printed at the North, by
those who are unaequainted with our
wants. We can't make even our own
spelling books. We have to send to the
North for everything from a dictionary
or an encyclopedia to a primer" There
is some foundation for the complaint /;
but the real amount of Southern litera-
ture is overlooked. Thus the Christian
Observer of Louisville is now publish
ing an easy rhythmical poem by GeoF-
gian; series of articles on philOlOgy
by a Kentucky professor who has few
superiors in linguistic attainments; Wv
id graphic sketches of the late war by a
VirgiRian; besides the many articles
that appear in its religious department,
from some Of the ablest pens in every
State from Maryland to Texas Would
it not be well, before sending to the
a specimen copy of the ChristidH O5Ser-
Ger, which viii be sent free on applica-
ton to the publishers, A. & F. b. Con-

Giles county has ten thousand dollars
in the County Treasury, and is out of
debt. What has she done for public
schools? Marshall county is out of
debt and has six thousand dollars in her
treasury, but she has done nothing for
public schools, We believe. Maury
county has spent $25, 200 on her public
schools, and spent thousands OF dollars
in rebuilding bridges destroyed during
the war, and in other public enterprises,
and yet she is nearly or quite out Of
debt.-ColUHlbid Herald.
We answer the first question above
propounded, and then compare them
with the figures quoted in the last para
graph;
only one year and Maury has had them
two years. The amount of money exc
pended and on hand for school purposes
for the current scholastic year ending
Aug. 81, 1874, is $S4, l24. As stated
above, Maury has spent $4,000 for
school purposes in two years, while
Giles has spent $34,l24 net in one year,
which shows that Giles expended nearly
three times as much per year for school
purposes as Maury. Giles county has
spent upwards Of $4,000 for bridges
alone since the war, besides a vast
amount Of smaller items Of public i'm
prOvements, and has built jail since
the war at cost of $4,000. Giles lev
led last year a tax Of 10 cents on the
hundred dollars worth of property fol
public school purposes, while Aaury
levied only 5 cents Giles county pays
an average per month to teachers O.
public schools s4y397: 25. What doe
Maury payg The Herald should lool
at the figures before IL makes insinna
/ tiOns.
