old Liberty Party, to which tho country is ill.,
debtcd for tue agitation in tho past generation
that led to the abolition OF slavery In
the Present. Many Of the moat activo Of
tho original AbolitionstB arc now dead. and
those who survive mark the progress Of years
with their gray hairs. But, wlllo Collins,
Lovejoy, and others have passed away,
enough remain to constitute historical session
Of great interest. There WIS preliminary

Pinkerton in this city, ut which tile attendance
was humorous for o private aud impromptu
gathering. It was thore decided that q Reunion
should be called somotimo next spring.-proba-
bly, In the latter part Of May, or early in June.
The sentiment OF tho meeting was that the Re-
union shall bo hold i'll Chicago, with Aurora for
the second choice, In case it be doomed advisable
to change. a Committee of Arrangements was
appointed to fix definitely tho time md place,
and instructed to prepare 4 programme setting
forth the purposes and determining the oxor-

be one Of the most notable OF tho time.

We havo received tho constitution OF lilo
Ordor Of tho 8ovorcigns OF Industry, tho by
Laws Of Its National Council, aud q circular
iaauod by it, md addressed to "tho industria!
class; the mechanics aud workingmen and
women everywhere"
Tho organization Of tho Order resembles that
OF the Patrons Of HuBbanilry. AIo1nbers OF tho
Subordinate Councils tako tho degrco Of Jour-
noyman; members OF the National Council tako
tue degree Of Artisan; nad members of tho
Supreme Council, Which will not bo instituted
till January, 1876, will bo Craftsmon. The su-
promo Council ia to bo tho court of last resort.
Tho executive power is lodged with an Exccu-
tive Council Of soyen mon. Its present men,
bcrs all como from Massachusetts, but this il
not strange, since there aro as got but
three. subordinate Councils,-in Worcester,
Springfield, and Now York City. Tho objects of
tho Order aro roughly stated na the elevation Of
tho industrial claasca. It ia opon to "any per-
son engaged in industrial pursuita, Of tho age Of
1G years, Of good character" It is significant
rule that sayB: "No political OF religious tcsts Of
membership shall be allowed" Tho political pur-
poses Of the Orlor aro avowcd. It declares itself
to bo in league with the Patrons Of Husbandry.
The circular says: "The Oranges haye saved
millions Of dollars to tho farmers. But, siuco
the Grange admits only those who aro Interested
iu agricultural pursuits, it has boon found nccea-
sary to iuRtituto now Order that shall welcome
to its membership ali claBses Of laborng mon and
women. And this Order will snve to its membera
also milliona Of dollars. 1t is, mud will con-
tiuuo to be, in thorough sympathy and hearty
cooperation with the Patrons Of uusbandry,
both being parts Of one great whole, whose des-
tiny is to work out better future for tho in
| dustrial c1asses Of this country. Tho times arc
ripe for the movement. You have but to com.
bine, worlingmen aud women! and great ant
| immediate benefit iB yours" Whether or mol
| this movement can unto the workingmen a<
thoroughly as the Grange has united the farm
ors, remains to bo seen; but the proaept pow

A Neaf Compliment.

On yesterday evening just as Judge
Barksdale adjourned his court in the
trial of The omnibus driver, who acct
dentally occasioned the death of young
Mr.. Parker, some two or three weeks
ago, on writ OF habeas corpus, our
most gallant and excellent sheriff,
Major James L. Barkley, was met by
Mr.. J. G. Eblin, one of our most prom
ising young lawyers, backed by Messrs.
p. NJ. Brown and Reeves, deputy dis
trict clerks, when all unexpectedly he
became the recipient of one of the
handsomest gold headed canes we ever
saw. The words that were spoken
were few indeed inasmuch as the
event was spont; leous and entirely
devoid of those nveRtional formali-
ties that are usual y expected 20 give
eclat to such occas ions.
1t was an expression made by honest
hearts to one they appreciated as wor-
thy to receive the token. Few words
were SliuJ DuU WIluU WHY opoiNVii "tiS
no less full of meaning than of
feeling.
In response to the neatly delivered
address of MI. Eblin, Major Barkley
said that he would carry this gift with
him through life, and, as dying re-
quest, ask that it be buried with him,
aud that, if the sincerity and purity of
mOrtals could add anything to his
transit across the "dark valley of the
shadow of DEATH" he would want for
no stronger staff than the beautiful
gift he WINS receiving. A few bottles of
Krug "washed out the remaining senti-
ment," and IN the hilarities OF "subse-
quent eventsn we lost the thread of
this report, which was repirte with the
wool of sincere friendship and high
personal regard, but in concluding this
narrative" we feel no hesitancy in
saying no truer gentleman ever receiv-
ell from truer hands gift more expires
sive and beautiful than this.

TIse DaIins ANA wichita RAILROAD.
Very few Of our citizens are aware Of
the progress of the construction upon
this important road being pushed rap
idly to completion, despite the strin-
geDcy of the money market.
The city has accepted the first seq
ton of five miles of grading and bridg-
ing, and the second section of five
miles will be ready by the 10Th of jan
uary, 1876, for inspection by the city
engineer and acceptance by the city
council.
The third section of six and one-half
miles, reaching the Denton county
line, will be put under construction as
soon as the clearing and grubbing is
finished, and may be ready for the ties
by the 1st of May.
DR.. Calder, the president OF this road,
has been in New York negotiating for
iron and rolling stock, and is expected
home in few days, with favorable re-
ports of his success.
So, while we are dreaming about con-
gressional aid to Tom Scotts great
road, railroad of our own is being
built and that, too, without govern
ment aid. The gentlemen who are at
the head of this enterprise mean bust
