About the Changers.

It has been asserted that the Grange move
men is in its decadence, and that the interest
which was formerly so generally felt in the
Order is rapidly dying out. The facts scarcely
justify the assertion. The monthly bulletin Of
the National Grange, dated the 1st instant,
shows the total number of Subordinate Oranges
in operation as 22,547, the aggregate member
ship of which might be estimated all the way
from l,250,0O0 to 100000 The number Of
Subordinate Oranges organized in 1874 was
II ,941, or about 1000 more than were organ
lied during the six years existence of the
Order prior to the year named. The amount
received during the year 1874, by the National
Grange from Subordinate Oranges in the shape
of charter fees, &C., was S179,005, against
Sl61 ,6l5.43 received prior to that year. Du-
ring the existence of the Order SO Oranges
have consolidated, 81 have become defunct,
and Ill have had their charters revoked The
cost of materials sent out to Subordinate
was $40, ,45l.90. This data, which is obtained
evidence that the Changers are neither dead
nor sleeping, and that the accessons to this
Order last year were larger than those of all
previous years combined. The time must
come, of course, when there will be falling
off in the number of new Oranges organized,
since in many of the States such organizations
exist in every county, and there is no room for
more. Iowa, which for years led all other
States in the number of Oranges, now stands
No. on the list, with 1908; Missouri with
2,016, and Indiana with 2,Ol7, preceding her.
Illinois follows with 1857, and next comes
Kentucky with 1,517, and Ohio with 1,149.
The Order still seems to flourish most in the
Southern and Western States. The great State
of New York has but 800 Oranges, and Penn
sylvania only 4S2 Kew jersey, Sc; Connecti-
cut, 8, and Massachusetts, but S6.-:Neaos and
Courier.

THURLow WEED ON CIVIL RIGHTS.-The
New York Herald contains letter from Hon.
Thurlow Weed, the sagacious politician ard
veteran journalist, who predicts that the civil
rights law will prove as egregious failure as
the civil service reform, which for the time
being was plausible and popular experiment.
Mr. Weed says:
I made an earnest but Intellectual effort to ar
rest the progress through Congress of like
plausible and popular, but most pernicious at
TEMPT to constrain "social equality" between
two radically and unchangeably distinct and
different races. Most of the Republican jour
nails admit that the civil rights bill, as intro
duced by the late Senator Sumner, contained
this obnoxious feature, but that it had been
stricken out, and the bill as it passed the House
of Representatives was free from such objec-
tions This is partly true and partly erroneous.
The hotel restaurant and theatre provisions in
the bill, to which I objected before it passed
either house, relate distinctly to the social as
we'll as the civil rights of the parties interested.
And this will everywhere be the judicial con-
struction and the practical effect of the provis-
ions referred to.
Mr. Sumner was monOmanlac on the sub
iects to which his civil rights bill referred. If
his extreme views and measures on all ques-
tlOnS connected WIFI slavery oeloic, Jul anu
after the rebellion had not been met and modi-
fed by his calmer colleagues, the Union would
have been imperrilled if not lost. So far did
the ultra teachings of Senators Sumner, Wade,
Chandler, &C., alarm the Northern people in
1862 that the Union party lost the State of
New York and was almost beaten in several
other States Nothing then saved Maine but
the good sense of her Republican State Com
mite in muzzling radical speakers.
But while it is true that the worst features OF
Mr.. Summers civil rights bill were stricken
out, enough remains to occasion widespread
popular annoyance and mischief. And in all
the collisions, complications and litigations re-
sulting from it, those whom the law was ID de-
signed to benefit will be the sufferers. The
civil rights law will bring nothing but disap-
pointment and yexation to the colored men:
After a few abortivc attempts to enforce 1t
things will settle down in the old way, leaving
questions of social equality to regulate them
selves The best that can be hoped for is that
the law will become dead letter. Meantime
what is most to be regretted is that the Repub-
lican party will be held responsible for what
ever of obloquy Impractical legislation has or
may provoke.

Rev Mr. rockingham has decided that

Rev. Mr.. rockingham has decided that
there is no such country as hell, and much
satisfaction is expressed in certain circles that
the vexed problem has been 50 settled. We
are sorry for rockingham and all others who
have taken to this sweet morsel, for they will
discover their error when it is too late. If
there be no such place, where will the ungodly
and the delinquent subscribers go?
When girl crops her front hair and pulls
tang and then ties piece of red velvet around
her H1 heck, who can wonder at the number of
pale-faced young men that throw away their
ambition and pass sleepless nights trying to
raise down on their upper lips?
"A dry goods clerk in an Iowa city, lately

for whom he had pulled down every bolt of
calico on the shelves, quietly requested the
proprietor to remove the incumbrance and

A MURDERER DECLINES REsp1TE.-Maj.
W. w. Thornton, of Brenntsvlle Va, received
letter from Gov. Kemper few days ago
stating that application had been made to him
to respite Jessee Fouks, sentenced to be hung
next Friday, the 10Th instant, for the murder
of the Herndon family, and requesting him to
see the condemned man and ascertain if he
could, if such respite would be advisable.
Mai Thornton visited Fouks and held con-
versation with him, in which he reiterated his
guilt, and said he thought he ought to be hung.
On being informed that an effort was being
made to put off his execution for short time,
Fouks said that he 'did not desire it to be put
off, but wished the time was nearer at hand"
He prays almost continually in his waking
hours, night and day, but still says that he
has no evidence of his forgiveness from God
for the crime he has committed Fouks was
visited on Tuesday last by physician of
Fauquier County, who requested the prisoner
to give him his body after the execution, to
which the condemned man readily consented,
stating that it would be taken up by some
doctor anyhow. He said Ire cared nothing for
the dody so he could save his soul.

INSURANCE PoL1cIEs-The New York
Journal Of Commerce urges upon parties who
suppose themselves securely insured to exam
inc the "fne type" conditions of their fire
policies. 1t adds:
We were reminded of this necessity by
recent case in which property was destroyed
and only part of the insurance could be collec-
ted because, in the other policy it was stipulated
that no other insurance should be made without
written consent endorsed. Another case within
our acquaintance is that of an experienced and
generally trustworthy agent insuring o piece
Of property in two companies, and negecting
this condition, so that one of the policies was
void from the beginning, and both would nave
been if both had contained the condition.
little extra vigilance on the part Of the assured
in this case enabled him to give satisfactory
answer to the question, "are you insured ?" but
how many of our readers would have answered
it, relying merely upon the payment OF pre-
MUM and possession of the policy, and not
have found out until burnt out that they were
not insured. Or, if not sufferer by fire, that
they had been paying premium for the mere
possession of the worthless-no matter how
ornate-signatures of all insurance president
and secretary?

ScorcH VIEW OF THE BEEcHER CAsE-The
Fifeshire (Scotland) Journal, in noticing the
Titon- Beccher trial, iadulges in the following
comments: However it may end, it is almost
certain that the famed minister of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn has finished his professional
career. Casting aside all Moulton's and Til
toms evidence as worthless, there is documen-
tary testimony enough to show that, if Mr..
Bcecher were in any village in Fife be would be
soused in water-butt. We have not seen
Tlton's evidence; We have, thcug n, read that
of Moulton, who leaves the impression of being
asingnlarly clever man. All things are possi-
BILE in America and we should not wonder at
the report of his bearing in the witness box
and it is 10 be remarked that when he blows
his nose he is reported-wll cause him to run
for the Presidency. We are also bound to add
that there is nothing like tortuousness in his
very long statement and prodigious cross-ex-
animation His attitude is straightforward,
and Xe does not bend by a sentence"
