The Burlington Free Press, paper that
has placed itself in decided opposition to
the Farmers Movement, says the del
egates to the State Grange "claim to have
made arrangements to have oranges organ.
lied in every town in Vermont, previous to
May lst" We are sure that no such claim
has been made, or is likely to be realized
Until recently the State Grange has been
unable to respond to urgent calls for organ
ization, and has made no efforts to that end.
1t has now hardly enough organizing dep
uties to answer the popular demand, aud
not single public address has been made
under its auspices, except in response to
earnest requests. The movement is certain
ly not being crowded upon the people, and
will only progress in accordance with the
acknowledged requirements Of each locality.
Until very recently the only means the pub
lie of Vermont has had Of learning any
thing about the matter has been through
the VERMONT FARMER, which for upwards
of three years has insisted upon the noccs-
sity of cooperation in some form. In this
it has had no help from any other eastern
agricultural paper, or the local press, and
consequently there are oranges only where
the FARMER is taken largely. Now, we are
glad to have the help of local papers in sew
eral places, They seem to think it is safe
to go in, aud we guess it is. But we do
not look to see grange in every town, nor
in half the towns, this year, nor do the Of
6cers of the State Grange, but there will
doubtless be a very healthy growth Of the
order in the State this year.

GALA WEEK AT THE CAPITAL.--We
had the qualification of spending nearly
the entire last week at the Capital IN

of the Masonic Grand Lodge to trans
act the regular business of the order in
this jurisdiction. and the meetings OF
the Central Committees of the two po-

coming election of Delegate to Congress.

session on Wednesday morning, and
closed on Saturday night. with the in
stallation of the following grand officers
for the ensuing year: j. R. Hayden,

ing the unanimous opinion was that
the Republican candidate for Delegate
this year is pretty sure of an election
provided no fatal mistake is made in
the nomination. Jacobs and Kearney
were pretty generally discussed by the
outsiders, but without any apparent
spirit OF rivalry or hostility. The gem
eral conclusion seems to be that if the
contest is likely TO be close, it will be
best to nominate Kearney, as tits gener-
ally conceded that he could beat any
man in the Territory in the popular
vote, both sides the mountains, and his
nomination would be q concession to
the enstern part of the Territory. On
the other hand, there are many who
would Ike to see Judge Jacobs in Con-
gress, for various considerations: on
account of his conceded ability and on
party and personal account. His nom
ination, it is expected, would make
vacancy in the Office of Chief Justice,
which would be flied by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Wingard, which would
make another vacancy open to competi-
ton. That is the political gossip.
The Democratic Central Committee,
consisting chiefly of Gen. John Miller
Murphy. met at the rooms OF the Wo-
mems Suffrage party, and determined
to call straight-out Democratic party
Convention, to be held at Vancouver on
the 1st day of October. This rules out
every Conservative newspaper in the
Territory but the paper published by
the General himself, and the six or sew
en- hundred Republican voters who two
years ago joined the Democrats in a
movement which resulted in the election
of McFadden on oparty basis.

1t is impossible, says an English
writer, to exaggerate the ignorance to
which the peasants live and move and
have their being. As they work in the
fields, the external world has some hold
upon them through the medium Of their
senses; but TO all the higher exercises
Of intellect they are perfect strangers.
You cannot address one of them with
out being at once painfully struck with
the intellectual darkness which en-
shrouds him. There is in general
neither speculation in his eyes nor in
telligence in his coHntenance the whole
expression is more that of an animal
than man. The average age at which
the peasant children attend the primary
schools is constantly sinking. Most of
them leave school to begin their long
and weary life of drudgery at nine years
of age. They leave it with laundering
knowledge of reading and writing.
Many OF them are instructed by poor
ignorant women, who just know how to
read, write and cipher. RS matter of
fact. a large majority of the English
peasantry do not read or write.
The focd of the peasantry, in most
instances, is but degree better than
that supplied to the live stock of the
farms. Grstbread, in some localities,
affords the only food which the farm
laborer has There are whole commu-
mites which do not taste meat dozen
times year. Many of these wretched
households subsist wholly on wheaton
cakes and potatoes.

two gentlemen, belonging to our lldest
families here, had a heated disc sSion
over the political questions now a sorb-
ing so much attention, and one deemed
himself affIonted by the remarks q the
other Recourse was had to the code
and a challenge passed and was accepted
By agreement of the seconds thehght
was arranged for yesterday Afternoon at
five clock, the place Hopkins phnta-
ton, on the Gentily road, and the
weapons the usual dueling swords, allied
colichemards. At the appointed hour
both gentlemen were on the grounl, ac-
companied by their seconds, SURGEONS
and few chosen friends, and aftF the
usual preliminaries had been hadthey
took their positions without any dehoR-
stration of fear. Perfect coolness was
evidenced on both sides, and whenthey
crossed weapons it was evident both
were determined.
