The Work Of the State Grange.
The Banner OF Sunday says: The State
Grange, which has been IN session At
Gallatin for the past four days, closed
Its proceedings yesterday, after a har-
moHious session and the accomplishment
of a considerable amount of work. The
fact thar the delegation was so very
between live and six hum
dred-may have retarded business q
frilie, hut, with all thaf, there was ne
serious hitch in the proceedings, and
matters went very smoothly through
out. Let Us take q retrospect Of %hat
was accomplished.
Thursday was occupied - the eiec-
ton OF officers, who We're publicly in-
stalled on Friday. The Grange decided
that Il was lawful to establish cooper
alive supply stores at such points as
would be conducive to the interest Of
the Oranges. They We're opposed to
ciecting purchasing agencies, but leis
it to the subordinate oranges to select
their OWL agencies.
A resolution was adopeed recon-
mending the subordinate Oranges to
lessen the Cotton crop one-half, and
urging rigid economy on the part Of
the men and women Of the Order in
the matter Of dress and domestic Affairs
The amendments to the National Con-
stitutiOn which were adopted and sub
United to the State Grange for ratilica-
ton, were adopted with the exception
Of two, one Of which was In reference to
representation in the National Grange
and the other in regard to the election
Of officers OF subordinate divisions.
a new constitution was submitted
and adopted, but 1t viii not &c into eff
feet until It is ratified by three-fourthl
of lbe subordinate Oranges OF the stare
Among its provisions IS one reducing
the representation to one from eacl
county, to be elected by the various
Oranges in the county.
The address Of the Worthy Master
Maxwell, no less sensible than timely
was well received. A number Of by'
laws for tile government Of the bod,
were adopted. Knoxville was selected
as the next place of meeting, and 1
proposition to establish a Permanen
headquarters was rejected.

The German Catholic Benevolent socie-
ties of Louisville, Ky, have embodied into
their constitution a prohibition that any
member should send his children to the
public schools of the State. This rule
obliges, under pain of expulsion from the
society. The Louisville Catholic Idrocate,
commenting on this article, says:
We have often admired many of the
customs amongst our German fellow Cath
o!ics, and do not hesitate to hold them up
before the eyes of our English speaking
congl egations as model in these particu-
lars worthy of imitation. The silent ELI
cheney with which the German Catholics
| provide for the temperatures of their
! churches and charitable institutions has
always challenged our admiration. Their
orphans are always we'll provided for, and
the provision is made without noise or
| clamor. Their priests, and religious, and
church repairs seem all we'll cared for, yet,
though we often attend their churches, we
| never hear a word on the subject. We do
| not admire the trustee system in vogue
amongst them, for we think it in discord-
ance with the instincts of the Catholic
unostentatous silence with which their
church temporalities are procured. These
things, however, are in some sense outside
our province. We mention them merely
| to give momentum to the other example
which it is properly the vocation Of the
Catholic press to urge on its readers for
( imitation.
There is an eminent propriety in this
constitutional provision of tie German
Catholic societies. The fundament tai idea
of these societies is that they shall be
eminently Catholic. This is also the radi-
cal thought in our English speaking CHAIR
table societies. But the difference is that
the Germans work out the logical results
of their Catholic constitution with fear
lessness and consistency that seems to be
wanting in our English speaking organiza-
tions. Both exclude without mercy all
apostates from the faith. Thus, anybody
who joins secret, oath bound saciety,
such as the Masons, Odd-Fellows, Knights
of Pythias, etc., is very properly expelled
from the societies, because, by joining such
bodies, they have Voluntarily incurred ex-
communication from the Church, and de-
serted from their ranks to fight under
the banner of the Churchs most deadly
foes, thereby excluding themselves from
the house of God whilst living, and de-
priving themselves of the. rites of the
| Church and Christian burial when they
die.0

A great change is rapidly taking place
in the Northwestern states on political
QuestionR-such movement among the
great body of the people as l have never
witnessed before. The cry is for reform,
retrenchment, regeneration. Those who
are moving in this matter are not dema
gogueS and Office seekers and persons
looking for jobs, bat they constitute the
great agricultural and producing class OF
this extensive region, and seem to be
moved by common purpose to brink back
the government in all it's branches to the
economy, simplicity, and purity of former
times. The feeling of the people in ques-
ton is that we have been ruled in the in
terest of spectators, jobbers, spendthrifts
and thieves, and that the great body of
the people are toiiIng for their benefit.
The feeling is not only against railroad
extortion, but against other wrongs, such
as protection, as it is called, Sand extrava-
CANT expenditures, and every form of off,
cial plunder-(Letter in the New York

RELIGION OF THE LATE DoWAGEH QUEEN
OF PRUssIA.-The recent death of the late
Queen of Prussia brings to my memory
another instance of the intolerance of the
Court of Berlin. This unhappy princess
was u Catholic in her yonth, being a sister
of the King of bavaria. She was married
to the King of Prussia 10y her family, aud
obliged to apostatise, but remorse pursued
her through life, aud when, a few years
since, che came to Rome, she cOntrivcd to
elude the vigilance of her suite, and to
have q secret interview with Plus IN. He
reconciIcd her to the Church, and accorded
to her, in consideration Of the miserable
slavery in which she lived, tue privileges
granted to the faithful in prison, or de-
privod of access to the sacraments. We
may therefore hope that the unhappy
princess died in the faith and Communion
of her ancient house.-Roman Correspon-
dent Of the Crusader.

The Rock Island Convention

The Transportation Convention will
meet at Rock Island next Tuesday, the
oath inst, and is of sufficient Importance
to make it an object for our citizens to be
represented therein.
The object of cheap transportation is one
in which all are interested. Every thing
sent out of the country or brought into it,
pays tribute, in the way of freight charges,
to transportation lines, which, as rule, is
added to the price of what the consumer
buys, and is deducted from the price of
what he has to sell. In this way the con-
sumner is taxed both ways, and should take
a lively interest in any measure which
would reduce the burden of transportation
tax.
The object of the Rock Island Conven-
ton is by concentrated effort to induce
Congress to do something for the relief of
the West, by opening water lines of trans
portation, or other means. And as heavy
freight can be transported much cheaper
by water than by rail. it is probable the
action of the Convention will be in that d.
rection.
The doors of the Convention will be open
to delegates from all bodies and organiza-
tons who choose to send them. Why not
have Kewanee represented. Keoanee In
