DECISION BY CoURT OF APPEALS.

At the last session of the Territorial
Grange, Worthy Master Brigham Reed
made a ruling that none had a right to vote
body, save the acting representatives of the
Subordinate Oranges. This decision exclud-
ed from the floor and ballot many of the
officers Of thatbody. Whereupon Bro. Addi-
son Myers, Worthy Lecturer, took an APP
peal, which was decided as follows:
'LoUIsvILLE, Ky, Sept. 80, 1875.
'sDear Sir and Bro:
- am Instructed by the Court Of Appeals
to inform you that in the case of the APP
peal Of Bro. Addison Myers from the deci-
sion Of Worthy Master Brigham Reed, the.
Court have sustained the decision of Bro.
Reed, to-wit: THAT officers Of the Terri
toria1 Grange, who are not Masters of Sub
ordinate Oranges, are not entitled to vote or
participate in the discussions of that BODY.
Yours fraternally,

the point, but is far from being convinced of
its correctness.
FARMERS PAPERs.-The efforts of some
to destroy the influence of the agricultural
press and create distrust in the minds
OF the members of the grange. will of
course, prove futile, as all such ~narrow-mind-
eel and selfish or jealous efforts deserve to
do. You may separate the grange from the
farm possibly, but never can the farm be sep
arated from the grange. The house may be
separated from the foundation, but not the
foundation from the house. The agricultli-
raj paper is the dependence of the farmer.
whether he is granger or not; and if
friendly to the Order, he has a double motive
Tor patronizins ii. This the grangers are
beginning to understand just as churches, ma
sons, merchants, iron dealers, carriage ma
kers, leather merchants, and, in fact, all
other classes, understand the Importance of
OF ~patronizing papers devoted to
their Unconstitutional and Farmer.

NATIONAL A NEWS.

Al special correspondent to the Patrons

We reached here Tuesday morning. Since
wonderful rapidity. Some may suppose
that Louisville is a Southern city, but it par
takes far more of the character Of Our VI est
ern towns than Southern. When last here,
in 1876, the city contained $4,000 inhabitants.
Now it is q busy, thriving city of 10000
people. The only noticeable difference be-
tween Louisville and Milwaukee or Chicago,
is that here, in addition to the cereal pro
ducts, tobacco is among the staples.
"Swines = seem to be among the staples, al
SO, .juding from the droves passing through
the street.
The members of the National Grange are
all here with one or two exceptions, and the
organization has been completed, commit
tees appointed and the work of the session
commenced.
There seems to be a feeling Of deep earn
estness, and the question is asked on every
hand what will meet the views of the Sub
ordinate and State Oranges. The only
difficulty seems to be to ascertain
what will meet the wants of the greatest
number. The rule of business adopted is. to
refer all matters to their respective commits
tees. This win facilitate business. and viii

various communications. letters and peti-
tions, from State and Subordinate Oranges.

vidual Patrons.
Quite a spirited discussion was ELECTED on
the question as to whether communications
from subordinate Oranges, Pomona Oranges
or individual members, should be re-
ceiyed, Unless they come through the State
Grange.
Bro. Chase, of New Hampshire, took the
ground that I'LL such matters must come
through the State Oranges. The writer was
of the opinion that any Patron might COM
muaieate his views, and if couched in re-
spectfel language, should be received and
referred to the committee having the subject
in charge.
After the discussion, the Grange decided
by nearly Il unanimous vote that all com

A special committee, appointed for the

gave one of the finest and most interesting
statistical reports we have ever heard 1hey

s,ooested that all officers should be very
particular as to their manner OF dong busl-
ness. and closed their excellent report with
the earnest entreaty that economy should
be taught, both by precept and example, OF
the National Grange, saying: I'm this

Nov. 19.-The National Grange continued
its session to-day, but beyond the following
resolution, which was offered for consid-
Grafton, nothing of much interest WAS trans
acted:
"Resolved, That Congress be requested to
revise the present patent laws SO that here
after no patent can be extended beyond the
first series of which it was issued. Also,
that Congress be requested to. inquire into
the expediency of abolishing the Patent Of

examine into the value of all patents, with u
view, in the future, of having The sale
brought to be owned by the General Gov
eminent for the free use and benefit of the i.
people of our country
No definite action was taken on the reso-
luton, which was offered by Master Davie,
of Kentucky.

following figures, which was SO ordered:

LOUISVILLE. November l7.-Ihe National
Grange met at the Gait House to-day, with
full delegations from all the States and Ter
%ritories, with the exception of one or two
which are expected tomorrow. There is
no delegations from the Dominion of Cam
ada, as the Changers there do not belong to
the jurisdiction Of the National Grange. The
address of welcome was delivered by Wor-
thy Master M. ID. DAVE, Of Kentucky, and
was responded to by Worthy Master Dud-
ley w. Adams, Of Iowa, Master of the Ma
tional Grange. Worthy Lecturer Il. A.
Thompson made a report Oh his labors for
the year. No other business was done save
each State is entitled to, and the annual
dues to be paid by each State Grange to the
National Grange. The Grange will con-
tinue in SESSION for ten days or perhaps
longer.
Nov. ls.-The National Grange continued
its session here to-day. The morning SEES
sion WAS consumed with discussion of the
report Of the Executive Committee. Speak
ing of the location Of the headquarters of
the Grange, the report says: "The inter
est manifested by the people of the States
visited was very tlattering to the Order, and
acknowledged courtesies We're extended in
obtaining information of the places visited"
1t says that after a careful examination and
consideration OF the claims of each place, it
was decided to locate at Louisville, whose
natural advantages are such as to be OF great
service, and with a sense of the great re-
sponsibility resting upon its members, the
Commission resolved to select Louisville as
headquarters.
In regard to the business of the different
agencies, the report says that some cities
are doing q large business, aud having in
the aggregate q million dollars. while in
other respects they are unsatisfactory. and
tall short OF the benefits that ought to be
realized. The commission system is false
III theory and unjust to members of the. Or
der, and therefore, in the minds Of the Com
mission, another system is deemed necessary
TOR the good OF the Order. Such a system.
the Commission begs leave to submit plans
OF at a future day, and is satisfied If will
meet with general approval. Efforts have
been made to bring to the minds of Eastern
capitalists and manufacturers the yaluabl Q
undeveloped riches of the West. and if is
hoped ere long something definite in that
regard viii be determined. Should the re-

1t must be remembered that our chill
dren are older, not only in education
proper, book-knowledge, but in expert,
ence and ways of the world, at twelve
and fifteen than formerly at twenty.
Their surroundings and the spirit of the
age force them into unnatural proclivity.
1t is an age of newspapers, of cheap and
ford literature. 1t is painful, at times,
to see how early our boys and girls begin
to age and grow cunning, and wrinkled
and bad Every species of temptation
wantons and disports about them. Sa-
looms, inchoate gambling, all kinds of
questionable amusements weave their 81
lent tolls about their incautous feet, and
and thousands are shared and ruined be-
fore the bloom of childhood is gone
from their cheeks.
1t is certainly then the dictate, both
of economy and common prudence, to
preoccupy young minds. with noble
thoughts and higher purposes. If we
would see our children rise in manhood
and womanhood as they come forward
in years, we must be keen to anticipate
the forces of evil, so alert to seize upon
our negligence to sweep them away in
their vicious courses. The fast and fas-
cinating spirit of the age, the mischievous
materialism and loose moral sentiments
everywhere ahoat, as summer dust, en-
phasize the need of early and earnest
work to save the children. Their ardent
natures, full of restless and unreasonable
activity, eager, receptive, clinging, fast
en- to the first support offered them.
Would we lead them up in the pure,
fresh air and warm sunshine of religion,
instead of leaving them to crawl on the
Shiny ground of low ambition and coarse
we must bestir ourselves to
their minds with enrolling
and Christian themes.-Reu. s. r. De-
men.
