ton between the Patrons of Husbandry
and the Co-opcrators of England. DR..
Worrall has four associates en- route, who
are daily expected, to MD him in effecting
his object. A subcommittee, consisting
OF d. L. Chnse, of New Hampshire, and
}. L. Jones, of Arkansas, WAS appointed
to take tho subject under consideration
and report on Monday next. The COM
mittce also had under consideration the
removal of the headquarters of the M
tional Grange, but reached no conclu-
sion. Four Nashville, Louisville,
Indianapolis and Cincinnati-otfers spe-
cial inducements. Cincinnati is espe-
chilly anxious to secure the headanar-
ters, and proposed to send n delegation
OF prominent citizens to Washington to
confer with the Executive Committee,
but tho Inter notified them that they
must submit their propositions in writ
ing, and that no delegation would he re-
ceived. A proposition looking to the i'm
provcmcnt of the business interest of the
order was referred to subcommittee.
The sum of $500 was donated to-day to
the Patrons in Colombo suffering FROM
tho ravages of the grass-hoppers.
The Executive Committee determined
to send three of their members, viz:
Messrs. Shankland, of Iowa, Chase, of
New Hampshire, and Jones, of Arkansas,
to represent the Patrons of Husbnndry
in the Cotton States Congress, which
meets IN Raleigh, N. c., on tho 18th in
slant. The committee have spent con-
siderable time in receiving and consider
ing the proposition of the English
co-oporators for n union for commercial
purposes of the two bodies. The CO.
operators are represented by Thomas d.
Worrell, of Manchester, England, who
IS the managing director Of the company
which Is proposed MS the bond of union
1t appears that the British cooperative
societies are not.a secret body, hence it
will be impossible, under existing cir
cumstances, to unite with the Patrons:
but this difficulty has been met by the
formation of n trading company, having
the endorsement and support of tho
united cooperative lodges in England,
and fully organized under the English
laws. The propositions arc to have two
branches of the society, one in England
and the other in tho United States. The
board In each country is to have absolute
control of the funds subscribed, which
are to be used for the purpose Of inter
national exchange of commodities. The
capital is S25, ,000, 900, and all transac-
tions arc to be cash or it's equivalent
The British co-operators number 500, 600
members, and have over 1000 stores.
some fifty or sixty cotton spinning mills,
about twenty Touring mills, agricultural
and horticultural societies, and a number
OF manufactures, and, of course, con-
sumo largo quantity of American pro-
ducts. The funds subscribed bv the
English branch of the company will bo
employed in the purchase of Supplies,
nrn0ffnrp ne
manufacture of such articles as nro in
constant demand ameng the Patrons of
Husbandry. The ships will bring goods
to New Orleans or other Southern or
Eastern ports if necessary, and thew de.
sire the Patrons to employ their portion
OF the capital in carrying tho American
staples and products tc meet these ships,
and thus to make tho necessary exchange
in the most direct and simple manner.
Tho co-operators havo large surplus
capital, which is constantly on the in
crease, and which they think can be pro-
titably employed in this trade. While
each branch of tho company will have
control of its own affairs, the two boards
will form n council who will, by Joint
action, decide what branches Of business
will be engaged in, and define the
method and conduct of the same. Anne
rica will send to Liverpool to watch the
interests of the Granger branch of the
company. and the English board will
have a like representative in New Or
leans, while the general supervision will
be in the hands of the managing director
already elected, and who, though an
Englishman born, has been twenty-three
years in America. The proposition is
regarded with great favor, and it is ex-
pected that the subcommittee of the
National Grange, to which the whole
matter has been referred, will report on
Monday.
