a Baso Desertion of a Friend

The whole country was led 10 believe that the
appointment of Cushing TO the Spanish Mission
aud his subsequent nomination to the Chiot JUS
t,cesLip originated in the knowledge the Press
dent had of the man and his personal friendship
for an acquaintance with whom lie had daily in-
;ercourse. Whether tins acquaintance commenc-
ed when they were both soldiers in the war with
MeAico or since the Presidents r. sidence in Wash

We were informed that thf President sent for
Gushing and told him personally that lie wanted
him 10 go 10 Spain, and that Gushing accepted
rather reluctantly. HIS confirmation was almost
immediate and not only the White House but all
Radicalisnl in Washington seemed filled with de-
light over the matter The Senate acted as
though it wanted to do something TO relevp 1t
from the embarrassment the nomination Of Mr..
Williams had caused it to feel toward the Pfesl-
dent. Ine confirmation OF Gushing as Munster

as If he knew no other great man, sent in the
name cf his friend Cushing, without even men

In the House of Representatives, Wednesday,

teeRraphic report of his speech says:
| "He described with great pathos charge made

manned bya company of artillery from Louisiana
and two companies OF Virginia infantry reserves,
and upon these three companies Buffers thousand
colored troops made their charge. There was
plalnly visible from The Confederate works line
of white troops behind the negroes, and the sup
position was That they were placed there to keep
The negroes from running away. Neither did the
coiored troops fSht very nobly. As soon as the
Confederate shots began 10 tell amoug them they
scattered like sheep. Hundreds pIostrated them

than one hundred and fifty men aud Butler was

carried out will tend to purify the whole poit-
ical atmosphere Of our country, for we
seek the greatest good to the greatest number.
But we must always bear it in mind that no
one by becoming grange member gives up
that inalienable right and duty which belongs
to every American citizen to take proper m
terest in the politics of his country. On the
contrary, it is right for every member TO 90
all in his power, legitimately, to influence for
good the action Of any political party towhich
he belongs.
Sixth. By the nature of our organization,
it being peculiarly farmers institution, we
cannot admit all to our ranks. Many are ex-
cluded, not because they are professional men,
or artisans, or laborers, but because they have
not sufficiently direct interest in tilllng or
pasturing the soil, or may have some interest
in conflict with our purposes; but we appeal
to all good citizens tor their cordial coopera-
ton to assist US in our efforts toward reform,
that we may eventually remove from our
midst the last vestige of tyranny and corrup'
ton.
Seventh. 1t shall be an abiding principle
with us to relieve any Of our oppressed and
suffering brotherhood by any means at our
command.
Last, but not least, we proclaim it among
our purposes to inculcate proper apprecla-
tion of the abilities and sphere of woman, as
is indicated by admitting her to membership
and position in our order.
Imploring the continued assistance OF our
Divine Master to guide US in our work. we
here pledge ourselves to faithful and harmo-
nious labor for ali future time to return by
our united efforts to the wisdom, justice, fra
ternity, and political views Of our forefathers.
