Captain Whites of Charlotte county,
Grand Master Of the Virginia Changers, dc.
lireied a lecture here this morning. In,very
p'att terms he stated some Of the principles
and practices Of the Graugers and the ad-
Nantsges OF membership. They admit as
members none but those directly interested
IN the cultivation Of the land. When asked,
w ny exclude the lawyers? he replied that
the Changers expected to settle most of their
disputes without the assistance of lawyers.
LIhey EXPECT TO reap great advantages by
buying, ii may so style IL, ut club rates and
for cash, the gain to the Granger being esti.
mated generally as equal to the profits Of the
retail merchant. Figures. he said, would
show, and he gave some figures. The Grange
OF which he was member had been offered
"a deduction Of seventeen dollars per ton on
fertilizer which he had heretofore bought
for fifty dollars per ton. In buying the com.
mon shovel plough, which sells for eleven dol.
lars at the stores, he bad saved enough to pay
all of his Grange fees. In South Carolina he
knew of Grange which was saving three
cents per pound on bacon. In the north
west reapers had been selling for one hum
dred and Seventy-tive dollars. The Changers
attempted to bargain with the manutac-
tnTprS, out COiiiu liuhS III 10y
then established factories Of their own. and
| were now supplying them at one hundred
and three dollars. Some one remarked that
this mode of proceeding would break up at
least many Of the country stores, and wanted
to know what would become Of the mer-
chants. "Well,' said be, eve will give
| them employment in our broom-Sedgc Geid>,
| and let them see how it is for themselves"
