this Grange, and will only say that
their cakes and pies on this occasion
fully sustained their former reputation.
We doubt however, whether their 1--WE

ness had as good an effect in producing
sweet tempers on Sabbath morning, as
they did in sweet sensations to the pal
ate when eaten. Accompanying the
partaking Of refreshments was such a
prevailing sociality as Patrons at their
feasts have learned to indulge, and
which make these feasts occasions of
innocent JOY, oases in the desert of
hard daily toll, to be looked back upon
with pleasure through life.
This Grange has these social feasts
once month. They are now talking Of
varying them with literary exhibitions,
made up of dialogues, tableaux, cha
rades, discussions and music. VINO

The following is the concluding
paragraph Of \ circular recently issued
by the Executive Committee Of the In
diana State Grunge:
Let US in business buy less and sell
more; pay as we go; encourage an agg-
ricultural education among our young
men, draw back the talent Of the country
that now is constantly leaving the farm
procure and read good books and pa
pers; adorn and bcautify our homes ;
assist and aid in bringing about high.
er and better civilization inaugurate a
better system Of doing business; bring
the producer and consumer in closer re-
lations; oppose unjust burdens, and ia.
vor equally dis tributed-powers and
equally distributed burdenI
The following from an exchange
should teach the lady members Of the
Grange their responsibility to the Or
der:
Some two or three of the Oranges,
we were informed, are about surrender
ing their charters, the principle cause
alleged therefor being the non-attend-
ance Of lady members, who always when
they attend regularly, give interest and
life to the proceeding of our oranges.
Probably some cause beyond this pro
duced this state Of things. We doubt
not: however, that the carelessness OBJ
served in, and the mismanagment of
Oranges frequently drive away the SIS
ters, cause sickness, and unless recon-
structed, death. The woman element
cannot be dispensed with, and more
should be done than is done to interest
them, and thus secure their attendance
and needful cooperation in the whole
work.

This is the way in which two prom
inent Indiana politicians closed up a
little argument on the important ques-
ton of which one had been elected to
the legislature. It is lively way of
summing up debate and drawing con-
clusions, but we would advise our friends
to refrain from such-heate discussions.
1t is better to be little philosophical
and to keep perfectlTool while the re-
turns come in. The parties to this
"wee bit Of an argument" were Hon.
William Baxter and Mr., Chas. Jefferis,
and this is the way they settled matters
William became exceedingly wrathful,
and informed Mr.. Jefferis that if he did not
"dry up'' he would kick the whole top of
his head off,
The latter replied that, though he had
lost his right arm in threshing machine,
if he (Mr. B. wanted anything in that line
he was ready. Mr.. Baxter upon this
jumped down from his buggy, and, after
performing graceful pirouette, kicked
Chans hat off his head Chan followed
this with left-ksnder on williams from
tispiece. Next Chan was seen slipping one
Of Williams eyes into his vest pocket, ana
William in return had large piece Of
Chan's right ear between his teeth. After
this blows and kicks followed each other in
such rapid succession that nothing more
definite than terrific fight could be seen,
when crowd rushed up and put an end to
the affair. f Z,

TROOPS TO BE READY SOON.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 1.-THE president
had conference to-day with Admiral Reyn olds
on the subject of war vessels to be sent to New
Orleans. A dispatch from Secretary Belknap
says that the officers composing the Society Of
the Army of the Cumberland heartily endorse
the PR sident's action concerning Louisiana. A
New York merchant writes 10 the attorney gen.
eral that large quantities of arms and ammu-
milton have been sold there to organized bodies
in the Southern States. Marshal Packard tele-
graphs TO the attorney general and says that
matters remain as yesterday. The leaders of the
mob are endeav0ring TO restrain violence fearing
its effect at the North. Several parochial gov
ernments have been overthrown by the League
Packard also telegraphs that the insurgents ap-
prehend an attack on the State house and were
out in strong force all night. TIE postmaster
general says there is no obstruction to the mails
in Louisiana. Orders have been issued TO the
Twenty-second Regiment of infantry to proceed
10 New Orleans. Three war vessels have teen
ordered TO proceed from Key West at once. The
excitement here has somewhat subsidized, and il
is not believed in official circles that the Penn
party will offer any resistance to the government
forces under any circumstances. Orders have
been issued for the troops in Fortress Monroe to
hold themselves in readiness. Gen. Mcdowell is
gathering up such forces as can be spared from
his department for service in Louisiana. 1t is
supposed that about five thousand troops can be
concentrated il Louisiana within a week or ten

THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.

THE PRESIDENT SHOCKED AT SUCH PROCEED
INGs-HE SAYS HE Is IN EARNEsT-INsUF-
FICIENCY OF TROOPS AT NEW ORLEANS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is.
Dispatches received from General Emery,
through the department, from New Or
leans, are brief, and only confirm the press des-
patches. The president, in conversation, to-day,
expressed his surprise at the conduct of the OPP
ponents of the kellogg government in resorting
TO arms to maintain their political position, or,
In other words, inaugurating civil war. Hehad,
TO many citizens of Louisiana, ex-
pressed soa1s kindly S disposition toward
things, but Ii seemed that they had
misjUdged if they thought that resort to violence
ment. In this connection he incidentally re-
marked that prompt measures would be taken
to suppress further disturbances, and similar
course would have saved the country from the
late rebellion. After signing the proclamation
the president himself wrote two military orders
addressed TO the commanders, saying Ia effect
peace to the best Of their ability. All orders
10 be issued by them must be previously sub
miited to the proper military authorities for APP
proval. There is no regular plan of military
movements, but orders will be issued TO meet
the emergency. Troops will be sent TO New Or
leans in such mum berS as may be required, as the
president Is determined to save life and preserve
the peace. Gen. Sherman and Secretary BeIknap
both being absent fr m Washington, military
orders are issued through Adjutant en-. Town
send. The presidents proclamation issued in
1873, during the Mctnery and kellogg difficult
ties, gave % days for the beligerents TO disperse.
The present proclamation gives only nve days.
Gen. Emery, in dispatch dated yesterday, ad
dressed to Gen. Mcdowell and sent to the war
department, says that he has not troops enough
10 maintain himself IL conflict should unfOr-
tunately occur between the troops and the in
Surgents, and, further, that the mere presence
OF troops has lost its moral effect in preventing
or stppre sslng disturbances.
