THE GEANGE.

The rapid progress made by the
Order in our immediate vicinity is
very gratifying to MS. We are daily
receiving accounts of the organization
of new Oranges, and are assured that
the farmers of this portion of the
State are enthusiastic as to the ulti
mate success Of the Order. All its
ends, aims and objects are good. 1t
does not seek to tear down; 1t simply
strives to elevate the character, and
benefit the hard working farmer, and
to protect his legitimate interests.
The establishment Of libraries and
reading rooms by the different
oranges, is step in the right direc-
ton, and one that will be fraught
with good to them.

FEARFUL PANIC.
Two Thousand People PaDie-Strieken
During the Hanging Of Bill
Kelly at Nashville.

NASHVILLE, May S-Bill Kelly was
hung at two O'Clock, just outside Of the
city limits, near the Pacific railroad He
was accompanied by Rev. Nelson Merry,
eolored, and Rev. DIR. Cobb, white. On
arrival stthe scaffold Kelly mounted the
plstform in q 1.-the and gleeful mood,
conversing and laughing with those of
his friends Immediately around him.
Rev. Merry delivered an address of ten
minutes, then lined and sung a hymn,
and fervent prayer was offered by Rev.
DR.. Cobb; after which Kelly stepped for
ward and addressed the concOurse for
about eight minutes, concluding with
prayer. He denied his guilt TO the last,
solemnly protesting that for the pitt
full sum of two dollars he was there to be
offered up as q sacrifice to yindicste
the laws of Tennessee, but ne was ready
and willing to meet his fate. 1t was es-
timated that ten thousand persons were
present, two-thirds OF whom were col

rope train on the Pacific and Tennes-
see railroad passed, frightening horse
hitched to a buggy, and stampeding
about two thousand people--men, women

after the drop-rope was cut. After hang
ing thirty-one and half minutes, he

STATE TAXES.

EDITORS APPEAL-It would be well
to publish the proceedings of a meeting
Of Virginia bondholders, in London,
showing that all the States which fail to
pay interest on the State debt, damage
the credit of the public and private en-
terprises ia such States. This is taken
from the Financial CIirOnicIe of the
second Of May, 1874.
PRO BONO PUBLICO.
At q general meeting of the holders Of
Vhginis State bonds, held on Thursday
at the Council house, 10 Moergate street,
Commissary General r. NJ. Gardiner in
the chair, the following resolutions were
passed:
Moved by the chairman, seconded by
Mr. John S. Gilliat, and
Resolved, That this general meeting
OF Virginian bOndhOlders, duly con-
vened, have seen with satisfaction that
in consequence of the memorial of the
council eff foreign bondholders, FL. E.,
James L. Kemper, governor of the COM
monweslth Of Virginia, has by special
message called the attention of the leg
islature to the claims of the bondholders,
and the bondholders trust immediate
action viii be taken by the legislature
to satisfy the obligations of the State.
Resolved, That while this meeting
recognises the justice OF the views taken
by Governor Kemper with regard TO the
obligations of the State under the fund
ing act, and that 1t is incapable of being
modified without the concurrence of the
contracting parties, the bOndholders as
sembled consider it their duty to declare
that all unfunded and other bonds are
entitled to the privileges Of the act, and
they trust that the legislature will not
separate without giving due effect to its
provisions.
Resolved, That this meeting regards
with pain the increasing number Of de-
faults committed by States in the
American Union, as not only calculated
to ipiure the interests Of the bondholders
by sssailipg the credit of individual
States, but by preventing the securities
Of the Union itself from reaching their
proper value, and thereby impairing the
federal credit.
Resolved, That this meeting considers
It expedient that the principle of action
shall be upheld that all attempts shall
be diseountensnced to raise money in
the European markets by public or prl-
yate Undertakings in State which is in
default to its public creditors.

ing factions in this case, but no con-
clusions have been reached as yet, here.
The decision of the supreme court, fa-
voring Brooks's side of the case, in such
direct contradiction of its previous de-
cision that the legislature had the ex-
elusive control Of the question, has the
effect Of augmenting the difficulties un-
der which the general government rests
in arriving at q solution Of the vexed
question. This new phase of the matter
was talked of at some length in the cab
met session, and the reversal Of the for
mer opinion of the supreme court of the
State oecasioned some surprise. No
member OF the cabinet has made
q definite or positive expression
of opinion ON the subject All
the papers that have been present.
ed in the case were read to-day.
There may be some decision to morrow,
but there is no certainty Of it, as the at
torneys Of the different parties are con-
tinually sending kilograms and present.
ing new points and arguments which
they are anxious to have considered. A
cabinet officer said this afternoon that
the government was heartily tired of the
controversy. When its decision is made
q proclamation will be issued which all
will understand and must settle the
question.

THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION.

THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION.
The exultation of Republicans on sc-
count of the sweeping victory by which
Grant was raised a second time to the
Presidential chair in 1872, was merely
manifestation of the pride which goeth
before a fall. The popular majority Of
7O2, ,27l votes by which Grant was re-
elected was the largest ever received by
q Presidential candidate 10 America.
But even in the fall Of 1872 Republicans
could not fairly claim that this vast ma
jOrity was to be accepted as true meas
Ure of the favor in Vhich they and their
candidate were held by the people. In
the election Of that year the Demo-
crats were handicapped with a
candidate who was equally distasteful
to Democrats aud to the mass of Re-
publican opponents Of the Administers
ton. And now that the Democratic
party has taken firm stand on the ira
ditional Democratic principles Of free
trade, hard money and home rule, Demo-
cratic msjoTities begin to show them
selves which are in every way trustwor-
thy measures Of the strong and growing
opposition TO RepHblicsnism. The fol-
lowing table shows the opposition gains
and Republican losses in the eighteen
States which have held general elections
since the fall of 1872:
