Good Hope Grange, No. l6S, of the order of
Patrons of Husbandry, of Illinois, was disbanded
last week. The lodge is represented one of
the largest in McDunougb County. The pream-
ble accompanying the resolution of dissolution
constitutes a very strong indictment of the Cen
tral State organization. IL charges that although
the order instituted for beneiicent purposes,
it has been diverted to base aud ignoble ends.
Ii declares: l. That the officers have assumed
powers that are tyranical, arbitrary and subvers
i've of good order in the lodge and in the cOmmu-
nifty; that the officers composing the grand or
State organization are not true representatives
of the members of the order, aud that the officers
of the National Grange have arrOgated to them
selves unwarrantable autOcratc authority, ruling
as with rod of iron. 2. That large sums of
money have been collected by the State aud Ma
tional Oranges, for which adequate return is
made to the individual members of subordinate
societies. 3. That there is disposition the
part of the chief officers to divert it from its
original purpose, and to make it political party
to bc used to advance the personal and political
fortunes of certain leaders.
The treasurer's report shows that Hope Lodge
collected from its members S522, of which amount
s454 was paid to the State Grange for regalia,
working TOOLS" etc. The balance-S65-was
ordered To be divided among members, and the
regaa, "working TOOLS etc, ordered to be sold,
aud the proceeds donated to the several Sunday
school organizations of the Township. The ar
raigument of the State and National Grange Off
cials by the Hope Lodge is very clear, explicit
and damaging.-EI.
Until these charges shall be squsrely met and
fully disapproved, a cloud of suspicion will rest

hciDg devotion to the farmers aud no platitudes

We learned yesterday from our correspondent

friend,r was at Gen Buffers with James Red

named gentlemen came do wn on the cars in the
morning. We sent reporter to interview Mr.,
Redpath. but found him very much indisposed
to talk He absolutely refused TO say anything
about Mr. Monlton's intentions. Our reporter
asked him If he had read DIR. Baeon's article on
Mr.. Moulton in the Independent, and what he
thought Of it. swell" he said, II think Bacon

USKISD.-The editor of the Abilene C kromicle
wields pen sharp enough to be n lancet. He is
really unkind in what he says Of that Dolly Var
den party Of which Melius is the mouthpiece.
We do not believe he (M-lins) wears garments Of
the style mentioned. But our readers may Pc
ruse and judge for themselves. Here is what he
says:
The utterly bad and irreelaimable Republican
editors keep twitting Nelius, the sweet rrforper,
about parting his hair in the middle, u Ia Adonis.
Sometimes Melius turns desperately upon his
tormentOrs and retorts that bis hair is his'n and
he will part it as he - pleases. Doubtless
this same swect-seented Kentucky -touch-me- not
is the owner Of some other articles Of clothing
besides hair; in the list he has, probably, pair
of what t-you-call ems. Why don't he part these
mp and down "abind" in the middle, because they
are hisu, il that reason is to be regarded as all
sufficient 1t has been the common expectation
for some time that be would do something Of the
kind, for, metaphorically speaking, he has poll
teal pair of these same unmeniionables called
reformation, but they lOok aud smell like old
corruption, in which he has been promenadiug
up and down the highways and byways Of the
political world, with the posterior section all
parted in the middle to accommodate the cooling
breeze and to exhibit his canse stripped Of
all verbiage any other clothing.

ABOUT PETIuoNs.-A grent deal is said about
charges made in petitions filed against Sam. lap
pin. If petitions are conclusive evidence, why
don't they publish Lappiu's petition in answer to
Walkeri They will find that he there gives full
copies of the contracts which Walker charges
Lappin with having stolen out of his trunk, to
save his case. They are the strongest evidence
that Lappin has in his favor. But any lawyer
will tell you that petition amounts to nothing,
unless it is proven to be true Oh trial. A man
may file petition charging all manner of crimes
and misdemeanors upon auother; but until he
sustains the petition by proof, the man so charg-
ed cannot he punished.

We learn from the Commonwealth that the Gov
ernOr's letter to the President has met with q
favorable reception. That paper says:
THE letter written by Gov. Osborn to the Pre-
sident has had the desired effect, and the State
of Kansas will soon be supplied with an abun-
dance Of the most serviceable arms aud fixed
ammunition, with which to protect the frontier.
1t will be remembered that Gov. Osborn raised
the question Of the accountability of the State
for the old and unservieeable mnskets used to
repel the invasion of Price It was very direct
and pointed appeal to the sense of decency and
Justice Of the Federal Government, and it has
apparently convinced the War Department. At
all events, the Secretary Of War in letter to
Gov. Osborn. just received, says il was doubtful
whether Kansas could rightfhlly b. charged with
these old arms. The offer made 20 the State is
to return the old muskets which have been
charged against the States quota and receive in
exchang, two THOUSAND Sharpe's carbincs of the
latest pattern. The old arms will be collected
aud forwarded at once, aud Kansas will then be
provided with plenty Of the best Of arms to pro-
tect her frontier. Gov. Osborn in this, as in ev
cry official act, has displayed firmness and per-
sistence united to h wise moderation and fairness
which compel respect and attention"
