the people of Virginia onght to be

Severe Decentralization OF ts.e Oranges.

SYRACUSE, n. ", June ith.--The
Secret Society Convention Vas well at
tended, and the preliminary devotional
exercises were fegyeut.
Prof. Blanchard reported an Act OF
incorporation under the laws Cf Illinois.
The name adopted was The National
Christian Association, and its objects
were declared to be exposure, resistance
to, and determination of all secret So
cieties, Free Masonry particularly, and
all other anti-Christian and anti-Repub-
lican agencies. Under this form war
fare may be waeed, not only against So
cie.ies, bat also against intemperance,
tobacco, and other vices. They held an
evening session, at which an address
delivered by Charles W. Green, late Sec
rotary of the American Agricultural
Congress, in relation to tho Grange
movement, which he condemned as in
furious to the politics of the country.
He himself was Granger, but he was
sick of the holiowness of the manipula-
tors of the organization. After detail
ing the history of the rise of the Grange
movement, he alleged that it has the
principles OF the Commune as its basis.
Its leaders are, he said, proving upon
the farming classes and political parties.
Congress and the Legislature stand in
fear of the secret Grange controlling
over half a million votes. The lead
ers bargain and sell their followers.
Business interests are sorely affected;
capitalists are rendered timid; manu-
factories are closed Or running on half
time, and commerce stagnates. The
West is, he continued, no longer IA
vorite field for investment, and unpre-
cedeuted prosperity has been subverted,
and all this proceeds from the malisn
efforts of the Grange movement. The
best men are Withdrawing from it. and
the baser elements are left alone. These
must fail, and then there may arise
serious trouble with the communistic
combination. The speaker charged the
Oranges with exercising power over Con-
gressional action on the transportation
question and the attempted imitation of
the currency. In closing he appealed
to all good citizens of the Republic to
rise in their might against the insidious
of the arch enemy, Sc
crecy, the monarch of darkness.

DE. ScHENCH's PULMONIC SYGUP, SEA WEED
TONIC. AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medi-
cines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded
OF vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing
which can he injurious TO the human cOnstitu-
ton. Other remedies, advertised as cures for
Consumption, probably contain opium, which is
a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and If
taken freely by consumptive patients, 1t must
do great injury; for its tendency is to confne the
morbid matter in the system, which, OF course
mast make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup is warranted not to contain par
ticIe of opium. II is composed of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act ON the lungs, liver,
stomach and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions, and expel all the diseased matter
from the body. These are the only means by
which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's PulmOnic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary COnsump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine
Is accompanied by full directions. DIR. Schenck
is professionally at his principal Office, corner
Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday, where II letters for advice must be
addressed. my3I deOd&w1m

WHERE THE COTTON GOES.

England has now 36,O00,O00 spindles
in her mills, with nearly 400, 600 looms,
and $4,000 workmen. Next comes the
United States, with 100000 spindles;
France, 5,7o0,000; the German Zollve-
rein, 1900, 900, Of which Alsace possess
ses 100000; Russia, 100000: Swift
zerland, 100000; Austria, /, 100000;
Spain, 100000; Belgium, 100000;
Italy, 100000, and over 100000 for
other countries. According to tie re-
port of NJ Alcan, made in 1867, the
number of spindles used in cotton
spinning was 5S,S50,000, which num-
Der has increased now to 63,700,000
Estimating the amount of capital invest
81 at $40 in gold per spindle, we find
that S637 100000 is invested in the in
dustry, and some $3.50, 000,00 is anpu-
ally paid to 100000 workmen.

ness worries Him.

At half half last four O'Clock yester-
day morning M. William Cory, the
wealthy stone contractor, was found
dying in the village of Fort Hamilton, at
Denyse and Stewart streets. He was on
the sidewalk partly dressed. A four bar
relied pistol lay by him; blood trickled
from a small wound under his left ear,
and his fingers were powder scorched.
One chamber of the pistol was empty.
Some early passers by took him for a
drunken man at first sight They tried
to stir him, when they found the pis-
tol, and discovered that the man was
unconscious and dying. In few mo-
ments lie was dead. Mr. Cory Was a
bachelor, aud lived in New York. He
visited his brother, Enos Cory, at Fort
Hamilton. ON Saturday, and intended
to spend Sunday with him, and return
yesterday. On Sunday at breakfast he
said YEARLY, MY business worries me.
and I don't want to live much longer"
Mr.. Cory was a member Of the Me-
chanics' and Traders Exchange, and
was very wealthy, inheriting a large
business and property from his father.
His mother and brother advised him to
60 to Europe on vacation. He said
his bad health and large business made
life unsupportable. He went to his
room early on Sunday evening, and
was heard to slam his door several
times in the evening. About four
o'clock yesterday morning the family
heard him go out, and when they heard
o. him again he was dead.

THE FESTIVE GOoBER.
some Practical Posnts From wide
Awake Dealer.

Awake Dealer.
To the Union and American:
The writer noticed in a recent issue OF
your paper the inquiry why it is that Vir-
GINA and North Carolina raised permits,
sell to better advantage than the Tennessee
product. The question Is easily answered:
The favor and plump pea are not wanting,
as the delieacy of our white nuts excel that
of either Virginia or North Carolina pea
nuts, and a well cultivated crop of our red
and white varieties turn out less puiis than
in the other States, as the soil and climate
of this State are better adapted to their
growth. Yet we seldom see at home
the nuts for market that is noticed
In North Carolina and Virginia. This
makes the difference against us, and we are
forced to take the second position, which is
no more than we deserve; for, instead of
carefully picking each well-flled shell from
the vines and running them through a
screen and fan and then putting them into
bags Of 10 OF. per yard, our farmers nearly
always fail to pluck the shells, and some
times gather the tops of the vines in the
hand, beat the nuts, roots, dirt and all into
a large box, then shovel the entire mixture
into cheap Bounce bag and offer them, in
a heating condition, to home dealers, who
are forced to offer low prices in order to
protect themselves.
To raise peanuts with profit, it is neces-
sary not only 10 plant, hoe and pillow them
carefully. but also to Get them in good con-
dition for market. The process consists in
picking cut the well-filled nuts, drying,
screening and tanning them thoroughly,
and packing in strong bags Of a capacity Of
fIom three TO flu bushes. The pains
taking is amply repaid in the higher price
obtained for the nuts. A. GENNETT.

The grains were very large and plump,
showing that it was cut Just at the right
time to get the maximum Of size. No
other new wheat arrived that We were able
to hear of. Samples were circulated freely
among the grain merchants and millers,
and there WAS considerable inquiry concern
ing the opening price, which is yet a mat
ter Of speculation.
Flour of the better grades declined con-
siderably, in view of the wheat crop about
TO be placed upon the market.

THIRTY YEARS OF SREEP HUS-
RANDRT.

The Naiae Farmer gives the record
OF a farmer in the Kennebec Valley,
who has not only kept sheep from 1910
to 1S47 without any change, but has
record of the result From 1910 to
1850 he got an average price of twenty
nine and four-fifths cents per pound.
The highest weight of fleece the best
year was three and three-fourths pounds
each. From 1850 to 1860, the average
weight Of fleece was three and three
fourths pounds, and the average price
was forty cents. Between 1860 and
1870 his average number of sheep wac
ninety-ive, and the average price of
wool was fifty cents. From 1870 to
1873. he kept fifty sheep, and the aver
age weight of fleece was five pounds
ten ounces, ayeragepriceiffty-two cents,
a constant increase in weight of fleece
and price.

COTTON CULTURE.

Mr.. J. R. Dodge. editor Of the
Monthly and Annual Reports sent out
by the Department of Agriculture in
Washington, and a statistician OF ma
tional reputation, read an interesting
and instructive paper at the recent
Agricultural Congress in Atlanta, in
which he said:
The cotton States Lave been especi.
ally persistent is disregarding the
teachings If statistics and defying the
laws Of political economy. Every in
teliige at publicist knows that certain
amo ant of money, say a present, aver
age Of $500, 100000, may be derived
frem cotton. If the average quantity
Is increased the price diminishes, and
vice versa.
If fluctuations are frequent, the spec
ulatOr. or manufacturer, and not the
producer, derives an advantage. If
you choose to produce five million
bales. you obtain ten cents per pound
and lose money; if YOU grow but three,
You get twenty cents and obtain a
profit. Now it is better for the world.
and in a series of years, better for the
grower, 10 produce regularly enough to
supply the current wants Of the trade
at medium and remunerative price,
or as near a regular supply as possible,
for the vicissitudes of the season will
inevitably cause injurious fluctuations,
despite the highest effort Of human wis
dom and foresight. As the uses of
cotton increase, and markets are ex-
tended throughout the world, its man
ufacture will be enlarged, and its cul
ture should obtain correspondent en-
largement. To overstep the boundary
of current demand and glut the market
may be pleasing to the SPECTATOR and
TO the manufacturer, so far as he com
bines' speculation with weaving, but it
is death to the grower.
There is much false reasoning on
this matter. A planter may truly af-
firm that he obtains $50 per acre for
his cotton and but SIS for his corn,
and he thereupon and therefore de-
clares that he viii plant no more corn.
Let all act upon this suggestion, and
instead Of S55 for the acre of cotton
and that of corn, the total return of
the two acres of cotton Will be but $50.
A SUI. lus of corn may be put into
meat. and wool, and whisky. or used Ia
exc out a scarcity of some kind of for
age for animals; but a surplus of cot
