In the Fifth District ~

In the Fifth District the Reformers
defeated the honest aspirations of the
gallant General Bragg and nominated a
man who is vastly his inferior, in the
person Of Sam. Burchard, of Beaver
Dam. Virtue held her own until 1856
ballots were had, but she was then driv-
en- from the field wounded and bleeding.
And this sort of movement is what IS
called ''Reformatory." -Appleton Post.

really as remarkable q moral phenom-

Crusaders of the middle ages, under
Peter, the Hermit; there is really, to
be traced degree of similarity in
the movement which shows that
human nature, is the same in all
ages of the world. We have in
formation from fifty-nine towns and
cities in Ohio, and the result in them
is as follows. There have been over
$50 saloons closed, besides a number
not reported, but stated as all in the
places; there are 373 reported as be-
ing still open in these places, and in
many places no figures are given,
but the statement is merely made
that all remain open. In 10 places
every saloon is closed.
If the Temperance movement i;
ever successful, our opinion is that II
will be by moral suasiOn, and not b!

The Graagors

Many persons have heard Of the
"Grangers" who have a vague idea
that they are farmers, but who do
no, know how they are connected
Herewith, and the object of this arti
che, is to give some light ON the sab.
jet.
The farmers of some Of the Western
States, about a year ago, feeling that
they were suffer ng by the middlemen
snd monopolists, and also believing
that they were imposed on by the
Rail roads, in the way of freights,-
and--eeing that other professions and
tFade, had formed unions tor ..utual
protection and a,.i-trcc-couc'udcd
that they would follow these exam.
Plc~. and unite ,oTvotcst themselves
against all these things otwhioh they
had reason to complain, With this
object in view. a secret society was
instituted, called the Patrons If Hus-
bandry. The principles governing
the order, rs laid down in their plat
form are worthy of all commenda-
tion; they are such, as, if properly
ul-ried on, VIII caure to the good Of
the farming interest. which Is the
mos. important in this great land.
We append hereto, a copy Of the
1st 2nd and 3rlarticles oftheir Dec
lration Of Principles" published by
the National Grange lately in session
at ST. Louis; we can see nothing in it
with which 20 Rnd fault, and cannot.
doubt ,hat 9 faithful carving out of.
ho principles laid down, will result
IN great good to ali classes
a. United by the strong and raish-
tui te OF agriculture, we mutually
resolve o. labor for the good of our
order, our country, and mankind.
.. We heartily indorse the motto
"In essentials, unity; in non,essen-
tials, liberty j. al things, charity"

HUNNGTov was considerably agi-
tated last week, by the report that
our Railroad had been leased 70 the
Changers. 1t turned out that there
was Il report published in an eastern
paper that inquiries had been made
as to whether the c. & o. r. Il.
could be leased by the Changers
If there was a possibility of the
road being run by the National
Grange, in the interest of the Pat
rons of Husbandry, it would result in
nothing but good to all except the
parties who undertook to run il, and
them, it would bankrupt in less than
wear. Running q railroad success
fully for the owners, that Is profta-
bly,, is ono OF the sciences that can be
attained only BY men who are entire
" oblivious of everything else but
the interests ofthe road. The Pat
rons OF Husbandry, by the very ma
ture OF their organization, are requi-
red to make the interests of their or
der paramount, consequently they
could not operate the road successful
".
There are very few railroads in the
United States that are paving mstitu-
tionS, and it is well known fact,
that they are run by men, who care
for nothing else but their own
interests, in which the interests ofthe
road they represent are bound up.
Successful railroad Presidents are so
scarce that We can very easily count
them, and it is patent fact, that
they are invariably men of hard
stern, unyielding selfshness men
who disregard every thing except the
balance sheet of their roads.
We can name as of this class, Nor
gan and McComb of Louisiana,-W.
j Hawkins, of the Raleigh 4, CASTOR
road, Gen. Malone of Virginia.
Swami and Garrett Of Maryland
Tom Scott of Pennsylvania, Com
modore Vanderbilt, George Law,
Jay Gould, and Others.
These are the notably successful
railroad men in tho United States.
and they are noted for their over.
hearing disregard Of the rights and
Interests of other people as they are
for their devotion 10, and the success
of, the railroads they manage.
Ifthe Changers undertook to run
a railroad, the interests of the far
.mers would be necessarily the first
thing 10 be considered, and they
would of course conflict with the in
tercsts Of the road, Again every lit
tie State or Local Grange in the
country would claim a right to have
something to sayabout rates of freight,

IT we wished to see a failure of the

The MOdus OPerandi Of Selecting
Candidates,
The present municipal year Is grow
ING nearly to a close. In another
month the people Of the city will be
called upon to elect a new Mayor and
Council to take the places Of those
whose term of office will expire on
che 2nd OF April. In the selection OF
candidates there are several consider /
ations that ought not to be lest sight
Of In the choice Of the person who
is to fill the chief Office Of the city I
. due rcgard should be paid TO the /
requirements thereof, and the candi- /
date 10 be named should possess quail /
fcations which will insure faithful
administration Of the duties Of the |
place. The Office OF Mayor calls for
more than ordinary judgment, or ca
pacitv for managing mere business af- /
fairs It's holder should have Practl-
cal and thorough understanding OF the
laws Of ihe State and the ready adapt
ability Of administering the same.
1t is the province of this Office to try
offending causes, and 10 decide in ca
ses at times where an acquaintance
with the statutes Is necessary. There
tore it is plain that in the selection
or Mayor the interest of the city can
best be served and protected by elect
ing a man who combines these quail
fcatious.
In the matter Of Councilmcu the
caseis different. In that body there
exists mo- Immediate demand for a
knowledge of legal questions, but in
stead they should be mon of p-acti-
cal intelligence, prudent ami so situa-
ted 90 the business and Pecuuiary in
terc>s OF the town as To guarantee a
course Of official conduct that will In
every way promote its growth, give
confidence To the people, and insure
harmony. y very great deal depends
upon the men who till this place Of du-
~ and too great care cannot be Ia
ken in the choice of candidates.-
Among our best and staunchest citi-
zcu> these selections should be made
a, this is an election year, it Is
important that the candidates be
known by their political affiliations
rather than by mere local interests.
And the proper way TO get ticket
before the voters Ia blythe process ola

we recommended a mixed ticket,
that the experiment might be tried At
filing the offices frcm both parties
with reference to the good Of the city
only But the movement was a mis-
take. as E; oprped a field for the
operations Of tr;cksters and begot a
