Correspondence of the State Journal
ST. LOUIS, February 10, 1874.
Yesterday was lively one in this city,
and with the National Grange all are happy
and wide awake.
On invitation of the Merchants Ex-
change, the National Grange, in body,
brothers and sisters, all visited the Grain
and Flour Exchange, and INDUCED in some
complimentary remarks and mutual admit
ration, indicating sentiments which ought to
animate each toward the other. n. T..
The question Of the irregularity of the
notorious - Boston Grange" was up for
consideration, and that Grange expelled
from fellowship off the order; and it was
resolved by the National Grange that this
action should be published broadcast in
in the papers; but it was not the opinion
of all that some of the officers of the
National Grange were free from blame for
the irregularity Of the Boston Grange.
The Sovereigns of Industry are enlisting
considerable attention in this section, but
some are of opinion 1t is Massachusetts
scheme to make money. Surely the
laborers and mechanics of our country
need some such organization for their pro-
lection. 5f4q

The subject of railroad freights--their
regulation among the states by Congress,
elected an animated discussion, occurring
on considering the report of the committee
on that subject, but no vote was reached
when the committee, on motion, withdrew
its report. The temper of the Grange
was not quite ready to take positive action
on the delicate subject, but it was general
ly believed that some legal action was re-
quired to relieve the farmers from the
oppression OF monopolies. e

The Petersburg Charter-COmmittee
ON Courts of Justice Decide to Re-
port 1t without Having Given II
Proper Consideration.

RICHMOND, February II, 1874.
To the Editor Of The State Journal: z,z..a...t
1t is generally the case when persons
desire to evade the law, or benefit them.
selves at the expense of their fellows, that
they carefully conceal their deeds from
the light and the criticism Of the commu-
nifty. The effort of the promoters Of the
Petersburg charter to prevent amendments
or alterations in the bill. as it came from
the Senate, has been fruitful Of
results before the committee on
courts of justice of the House, and a
nervous desire to have it returned to the
House without its being read either as
whole or by sections, resulted this morn
ing in deciding to report it, without read
ing but two sections. Well when we con.
slider how purely partisan, and in direct
conflict with all law and precedent the
measure is, we are surprised that com.
mittee of such ability fear the light, and
acted under the party whips, upon bill
affecting the interest of a city OF x, OOl
population without really considering the
same. ~ i.

that his performance would fall very fat on
his audiences. From the remarks in THE
JOURNAL of Saturday night last, as also
from my own experience, have come to
the conclusion that o conjurer without the
assistance of an assistant, or without
music, would be about as good as playing
Hamlet without the hero or his fathers
