The WiseonsIn state Grange.

EVANSVILLE, January 2l.-ln the
session of the State grange to-day the
reports of the secretary, treasurer, pur.
chasing agent and executive committee
were presented. The secretary's report
shows three hundred and three oranges
reported organized up TO October, 1873
and thinks there has been a sufficient
number formed since TO make the to-
tai number three hundred and fifty,
aud the order is constantly gain
ing strength. The treasurer's report
contains no features of interest, and
the reports of the executive committee
and of the purchasing-agent are not YET
made public. The sessions of the
oranges are all secret. The grand mas
ter delivered his address this afternoon.
1t was a long document, reviewing the
history of the order in the State, re-
counting the advantages it had
already secured to farmers, and predict
ing still greater IN the future.

COUNTIES
should, also, he thinks, be charged with
their proportion of the cost of assessing,
in the hope that, by bringing the ex-
pense directly home to the taxpayers,
the work would be better performed
and the double expense of reassess-
ments hereafter be avoided.
THE FEE AND SALARY BILL,
and the publication of the opinion of
/ the encouragement and three men,
bers of the bar, showing uncertainty as
to its being a valid law, are referred to.
and prompt legislative action is urged.
The addition of tax to all
COSTS OF SUITS,
for the purpose of raising fund to paw
chancellOrs and judges, is suggested,
thereby placing this expense, or por-
ton of it, at least, upon the parties
directly reapiDg the benefits of the SER
vices Of these officers. The auditor
again suggests that the
sHERIFFs
who have commenced collection should
be allowed to complete the same and
make the final settlements, and points
out that no hardship could thereby be
imposed; and further, that sherifs
should take up such witness tickets as
the State is liable to pay, and so save
the issuance of so msny petty warrants.
With view to retrenchment, the fol-
lowing
SUGGESTIONS
are presented: First, pruning all ex-
penses charged to the State, and placing
them where they properly belong.
Second, reducing the heavy expense of
public printing to its lowest limits, re-
ducing the length and expense of Iegis-
lative sessions, curtailing still further
the Judiciary department, as well as the
expenses of the charitable institutions,
all of which, it is contended, are carried
on on basis, to say the least, of liberal
ity if not of extravaganza, of which |
the State, in her present impoverished |
condition, is absolutely unable to afford. |
Third, by devising means to reduce the |
large list of insOlvencies. Fourth, the |
PAYMENT OF TAXES IN CURRENCY,
which is strongly urged, particularly
when it is known that the discount on |
the State warrants, annually, is suffi-
cient in itself to carry on all the char
liable Institutions of the State. And
lastly, that the Legislature be not deter
red from levying such a rate of taxation
as will, after making due allowance for
all contingencies, be sufficient to meet
the honest and just demands Of the
State. The auditor says, from the rapid
increase Of business during the past four
years, unless something is done to re-
move portion of the labor of this office
TO the counties, an application will have
10 be made for not only additional room,
but for additional clerical force. We
shall hereafter refer to other subjects
mentioned in this report, which are
worthy the consideration of the people
and their representatives in the legisla-

NEW ELECTION IN LOUISIANA

RUMoRED CHANGES TO OCCUR IN THE

A rumor has again been in circulation,
tonight, that, changes will soon occur in |
the cabinet, and it is stated that Rich |
ardson will resign his position in the |
treasury. The report lacks official con-
firmatiOn, and that fact, in addition to |
the knowledge that Richardson, so late
as yesterday, avowed that he entertain
ed no intention of resigning his |
present Office, renders it almost
certain that the rumors are based |
upon no very solid foundation.

enduring, nor hardly less honorable than
that which is acquired by the dazzling
display Of more brilliant genius. Even
if he does not reach higher than a me-
