The Temperance Excitement.

JEFFERsoNv1LLE, Ind, Feb. &c.
About fifty ladies Of the temperance
union continue revisiting the saloons
day after day. They sing their hymns
and pray earnestly at each saloon.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 26.-another
meeting of ladies was held this evening
to further the question Of crusade
against the liquor business in this city.
Some three hundred were present.
Rev. Dermitt spoke encouragingly Of
the prospects Of the work in this city,
and detailing the progress elsewhere.
Communications were received from the
women's Christian association, and d.
vision No. 2 Sons of Temperance of this
city, expressing their heartfelt sympa-
thies with the temperance cause, and
pledging their prayers for the success

DAYTON, O., Feb. 26.-The women

continue their prayer meetings with
the usual spirit. An advisory commit
tee took legal advice to-day, and it is
rumored, concluded for the present
against street prayer, in consequence Of
the stringent ordinance against obstruct.
ing the streets, subjecting them to a
fine on complaint Of any aggrleved par.
ty. The saloonists unquestionably
have agreed on d plan of self protec.
tion.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-To-day brought
no new developments in the temperance
movement: except that the notices re-
ccived yesterday by the saloon keepers
of an intended visit Of the praying cru
saders to-day proved to be, as was gen
orally supposed, bogus. At least, all
the saloons which obtained the gratui-
tous advertising which was by notices,
were visited only by thirsty crowds Of
men. and no prayer band making an
appearance at any place.

one village, Horsley -on-Tyne, in which the
land is owned by the people who occupy it..
Everywhere else the lords and aristocratic
monopolists are the legal owners of the

to which monopoly will ultimately bring

will become the serfs of the consuming

A Word from the East on the Grange
Movement.

We copy the following from that most
excellent paper; the New Haven lnion
We find no Eastern paper that sympa-
thises with the present great movement
Of the masses more fully than does the
IHu:
- In the matter of direct and Indirect saw
ing Of money to its members, the Grange
has been a notable success. The rail-
roads all over the West have been shown
that the farmers have the power, as well as
the will, to control them to prevent ex-
actions and determinations: nay to wipe
out fraudulent Indebtedness and recover
the roads from those who built them with
the money Of the people. and have since ad-
ninistered their affairs recklessly and ex-
travagantly.
"The greatest financial profit has ac-
cruel to the Changers, in the comparative
abolition of the system of middlemen and
retailers, and the purchase Of all articles in
large quantities and at wholesale prices.
The State purchasing agents buy everything
needed by the Changers for cash, and ship
by the car load at reduced rates. On sew

Iowa receive discount Of 40 per cent. from
the Weed company. On agricultural i'm
plements and machinery, the saving is
from 80 to so per cent. An equal amount
is saved on the purchase of musical instru-
ments. The amount thus saved to each
farmer in the West amounts to from $1OO to
$4O0 annually, and the aggregate is many
millions of dollars. In Iowa, A. B. Smed-
ley, Master Of the State Grange, asserts
that, through the influence Of Patrons, ag-
ricultural implements and machines have
been reduced in price over rs per cent with
in the past two years; family supplies for
the same period, Is per cent; and the total
saving is placed at $5,OO0,OO equal to an
increase in the corn crop of $4,000, 900
bushels.
"The social benefits Of the Order have
been very great Patrons speak especially
Of the humanizing influence of the Grange,
the improvements in dress, the increased
amenity of demeanor, the stimulated habits
Of thought. The Oranges have in many
instances established libraries, reading
rooms and circulating libraries. A marked
| improvement in neatness and ornamentation
is noticeable in domestic matters, and actu-
al benefit has resulted from the frequent
and general exchange Of views upon all
subjects of Importance to the farmer"

Mortgages.

a writer in the Industrial Age warns
the farmers of the danger Of their losing
the ownership Of the soil through
mortgages. We have had some expe-
rience in that line in this State, and had
it not been for the magnificent crops of
last year, together with favorable wealth
er for marketing the same, our expert
ence would have been much worse than
it is. Let every farmer who has es-
capped from the merciless clutch Of debt,
which is almost as relentless as the grasp
Of death itself, resolve that from hence
forth and forever he will be free man.
The bonds Of debt are but little less
CALLING and degrading to manhood than
those Of abject slavery. Let those who
are still under the yoke rest not until
they have liberated themselves. who
would be free himself must strike the
blow"
This writer after referring to the
condition Of the lower classes in Great
Britain, proceeds to say:
"Now, sir, what is the cause Of this con-
di:ion of the working classes in Great
Britain? 1t is simply monopoly. The
aristocracy of the country monopolize the
land, compel tenant farmers to pay them
hig rents for their farms, and thus in turn
force them to employ labor at the cheapest
rate it can possibly be obtained. But
your readers will ask how can this effect
US seeing we own our fsrms?' In reply
would ask, how many farms in the State of
illinois are to-day in the hands of their
owners, free from any incumbrance in the
way OF mortgage to Eastern capitalists :?
Every daily paper contains from one to six
advertisements of the sale Of farms, under
the foreclosure of these Eastern mortgages
At this rate 1t will not take many years to
place the greater number of Illinois farms
in the possession Of Eastern capitalists, and
reduce their owners to the position of ten
ants at will. Here is another form of mo-
nopoly to be resisted-that is the monopoly
of the loan business, by these Eastern capi
talists. Let the farmers pause and reflect
before they place their land and ultimately
their own labor in the grasp of q gigantic
monopoly.

THE PLOW MANUFACTURERS.
Correspondence of the Age.

correspondence OF the age.
LAWRENCE, Feb. 10, 1874.
DEAR AGE: Some time ago, when
I saw in the Age the resolutions of the
Illinois plcwmakers, that they would
not sell plows to farmers otherwise than
through agents, or middlemen, I felt
like wishing the farmers Of our entire
country in one grand mass meeting,
and that [ could then borrow Gabriels
trumpet lon.: enough to ask them how
it is that the men who make the plows
are such masters Of the situation, as to
dictate prices and modes Of buying :;
while the men who buy those plows,
and with them produce mems greatest
necessities are so helpless and abject in
the matter and manner Of what theY
have to sell ? Why is it that the makers
and sellers of tools are commercial auto
Gratis: while the makers Of wheat and
beef are commercial slaves? Why does
sovereignty inhere on one side and SER
Witty on the other? Is wheat or beef
more vile and useless than plows? :?
Are farmers slaves and manufacturers
monarchs? Can not the farmers of
Illinois find some way Of convincing
these plow makers that their need to
sell is as great as need to buy? Can
not the farmers avoid the plows made
by those arrogant firms, and suit them
selves with plows from other sources
We farmers are taught that those who
must sell are at the mercy of those who
please to buy. Is this all a delusion :?
Is all our own helplessness in the matter
of sales, so beautifully taught and faith
fully believed in, and ruthlessly knock
ed in the head ?-Well, friend plow-
makers, for one thank you. Give US
a few more raps on our benumbed COM
mercial skulls, until awakened out of
our present servile stupor. Hit again
that six-foot big-handed farmer, that
takes whatever he has to sell, and asks
the buyer, with trembling voice and
shaking knees, what he will give for it ;
and when the buyer drops his own price,
still follows him with his offerings as
faithfully as his shadow does his body.
No matter how low that buyer dares to
go, the farmer will go him that loso and
"see him better" And then, when he
asks the price of what he desires to pur-
chase, hears bluntly, $50 much" "If
you want it at that, take it; ifyou don't
leave it,
These plowmakers remind me some
what of the resolutions once passed by
the inmates of poor house, who called
a meeting to assert themselves, and re-
solved as follows:
WHEREAS, Poor houses are neces-
sary institutions, and no we'll ordered
county can do without one; and
WHEREAS, Poor houses must have
paupers therefore
g Resolved, That paupers are masters
of the situation"
Those plowmakers meant that where
as, farmers must have plows, therefore
| plows are masters of the situation. 1t
may yet turn out that farmers, not
plows are masters of the situation.

What Constitutes a Car Load.
From the Dubuque Herald.

From the Dubuque Herald.
It will be Of interest to our shippers
and producers to know just what consti-
tutes car load of the various kinds of
freight which are shipped over railroads.
A contemporary who has been Investigate
ing the subject says that in general 20
600 pounds is car load, or 20 barrels
of salt, 70 Of lime, 80 Of flour, 60 of
whisky, 200 sacks of flour, 6 cords Of
hard wood. I of soft, Is to 20 head of
cattle. SO to 60 head of hogs, 80 to 100
head Of sheep, 5000 feet of solid boards,
1900 feet Of siding, $4,000 feet Of
flooring, 10000 shingles, J less hard
lumber, less green lumber, 10 less
Of joists, scantling and all other large
lumber. $40 bushels of wheat, $50 of
corn, $50 of oats, 400 of barley, $50 of
fax seed, $50 of apples, 480 of Irish o.
tatoes, $50 Of sweet potatoes, 1000
bushels of bran. The foregoing table
may not be exactly correct. for the rea-
sons that railroads do not exactly agree
in their rules and estimates, but it ap.
proximates so closely to the general aver
age, that shippers will find it great
convenience as matter of reference.

The Pennsylvania Agricultural COL
lege is not profitable institution. Jo-
seph Turner, one of the trustees, says
that when he became trustee, six years
ago, the debt of the college was about
$4,000, and it has been increasing at
the rate of $1,000 year ever since.
The yearly income from land scrip is
about $4,000, and the expenses about
$36, 900. The farmers Of the common
wealth take no interest in the concern.

ELECTION OF CITY OFFICERS.

Z. Jonas, Esq. to the position Of City Attor-
'ney, vice George S. Lacey resigned, was O
well merited compliment. to gentleman who
aas always been in the front ranks of Louisi-
ssna's defenders, and very proper recogni-
ton not only of his distinguished services to
the city and State, but OF his ability as a law
yer. We question whether single voice will
be raised against this election to lucrative
and responsible position OF citizen who COM
bines with great professional acumen a spot
less character and intellectual attainments Of
a high order. 1t is an appointment that the
BULLETIN most cordially and heartily ap-
proves, and we accept it as an evidence that
the Council intends to be guided in its actions
10y considerations Of real worth.
We trust we shall be able to indorse as fully
she choice of the Council to fill the scarcely
aess responsible position Of City Surveyor.
If the public interest will, in the opinion Of
the Council be best subserved by caange,
we hope the office will be given to some de-
serving gentleman, some one who has done
conspicuous service in the cause Of the city
and State, and if there be many su ,h then to
the one among them who to equal capacity
adds greatest necessity

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.

MONTGOMERY, Dec. 1.-THE State Senate has

AS this affair Is of national importance, the fol
loving review of the f,cts is q, en-: On organ
izing Attorney Generals compromise Leeis-
latule in January, 1873, a quorum OF courtroom
Republican Representatives was seated in the
House. In the Senate the Republicans wanted
one Senator TO make a quorum and entered con-
test for Martins seat.
The matter was referred to d committee, vino
reported that, counting all the votes, Martin was
elected by 2G9 majority, and that counting only
the legal votes, he was elected by 265 majority.
but BY arbitrary rulings Lieut.. Gov. McGlnsley
seated Miller and ousted Martin, without allow
ing the Senate to vote whether he should be
seated or not. The Demo rats, fearing that if
they did nos submit the Republicans would again
Withdraw, set up courtroom Legislature
and secure Federal recognition, contented them
selves with seeing that the journals stated the
facts as they occurred, and With formal protest
entered at large therein.
Il was this seating OF Miller which gave Spen-
Ger bis cole claim to the seat he occupied in the
.. $. Senate. After last election the Senate
holding over, Martin petitioned tor his seat. The
petition was referred to committee, which re-
ported the foregoing facts. and recommended
that the Senateresume proceedings at the point
where they had been broken off by McKinsIey's
arbitrary ruling, and proceed with what was in
fact the suspended contest. This was agreed to
and Martin was declared entitled to the seat,
