The Oranges.

1t is now hardly six years since
the first grange was established in
the United States. Its growth since
then has been almost unprecedented.
In January, 1869. there were ten
oranges one in Pennsylvania, one
in Ohio, one in Illinois, one in New
York, and six in Minnesota. In
1870, that number had increased to
thirty-eight, and the following year
TO one hundred and twenty-five.
The grand popularity of the move
ment did not begin until 1873, when
the first session Of the National
Grange was held at Washington, at
which nineteen State Oranges were
present. At the next meeting of this
National Grange, at st. Louis, In
1874. there we're 10000 oranges re-
ported, with 10000 members. The
present national body represents
$4,000 subordinate oranges, with an
estimated membership of 100000
including women. The financial
status of the order is somewhat Of q
mystery. as none but the officers of
the National Grange are allowed
access TO the books. It is claimed,
however, that the assets of the order,
In cash and government bonds, con.
siderably exceed 5000 600.

0UR INDEBTEDNESS.

HOW TO LQUzDATE THE SAME
To the Editor q the MorrissOvn Gazette:
The approximate Indebtedness Of
our State, for which We are legally
bound. and will have to pay by tax
alton, is about twenty-five millions
of dollars. To pay the interest on
this sum will require one million
three hundred aud twenty dollars q
year. Then if the principal is ever
paid, there must be an additional
sum raised each year, called the sink
ing fund, which must be applied to
the payment of said principal. This
is q very pretty way to pay the State
debt. provided we we're able to bear
the enormous tax that il would re-
quire for the first few years, or until
we could, by this process, get the
principal somewhat reduced.
Now. if we a fall on some plan
to pay this large debt. without hav-
ing to Cypress the citizens OF the
State beyond their ability to paw,
and at the same time do Justice both
to the bondholder and ourselves, it
would certainly be to our interest to
do so. / will nov propose a plan to
pay off the principal and interest of
the State debt in thirty-four years
without collecting as much tax for
She same in any one year by forty
three thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight dollars, as it now takes
annually to pay the interest on said
debt. Said plan is this: That we
exchange for each thousand dollar
bond thirty-four sheets of coupons,
suitably engraved on bank note pa
per, each sheet amounting to fifty
eight dollars. and only one sheet
falling due each year. The coupons
on each sheet to be of the denomina-
ton of one, two, five and ten dollars
each. and made receivable for State
tax as they fall due. But under no
circumstances should said coupons
draw interest.
By adopting this plan the bond
holder will receive exactly the same
amount of dollars in thirty-four years.
minus twenty cents on each thou
sand dollars, that he would have re-
-ceived had said debt been liquidated
by paying the interest and one thirty
fourth part ofthe principal each year.
But some will say that this plan
would be treating the bondholder
badly. as the present worth of a por-
ton of his debt would only be from
thirty to forty cents in the dollar. 1t
is true that a portion of bis debt
would be at a discount but it is
equally true that he would be gain
ing as much on the first coupons that
fall due as his losses are on those
falling due several years hence.
And then again, the coupons, as they
fall due, being receivable for State
tax. would keep them always very
nearly par, while the present State
bonds r only worth from forty to
seventy cents in the dollar.
This article is written for the pur-
pose of CRITICISM as to to the above
plan of paying our State debt, and a
better method expected from any
one wishing to answer the same.

WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA
RtIILROAU.

RAILROAD.
From Press and Herald.
Some years since, the management
OF the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad, feeling the import
ance of the construction of the
Western North Carolina Railroad,
undertook to procure a title to it
with o view of bringing about it's
construction. After much difficulty
and trouble it is now thought a solu-
tion OF the matter has been reached.
The State of NORTH Carolina, through
the Governor and certain commits
sioners, was authorized by the last
Legislature to purchase the interest
of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad, and that of the
other parties in interest, in the bonds
OF the Road. The Road will be sold
under the mortgage, and the State
thus procure a title. This sale will
take place within sixty days. when
1t is the intention OF the Governor
Of North Carolina to place seven
hundred State convicts at once to
work on the grading.
The wisdom OF the management of
the East Tennessee Road in this di.
rection, in undertaking to rid the
Western N. G. Road Of complica-
tIons. is so apparent that it need be
scarcely more than alluded to. When
the road is completed it will open
up a vast extent of country for the
products Of East Tennessee, and give
a market for coal which will greatly
increase the exports of the black
diamonds.
The East Tennessee Company re-
ceive In payment for their outlay.
mortgage bonds on the Western
North Carolina RaiIroad-which cost
$4,000 per mile-at a basis of only
$4, 900 per mile, to bear seven per
cent interest, and the coupons guar
anteed by the State and receivable
for taxes. Thus the East Tennessee
company loses nothing. and secures
the construction Of the Western
North Caroliua road.

He was a young man of four and TWEEN
ty, and the ''duds" on his back weren't
enough in bulk to make a gOod-sized
mop. His hair was down to his eyes,
there was coal-dust and dirt all over
him, and he moved around with slow
and solemn step.
Well, sir, said the Court, you are
charged with vagrancy. The warrant
says you have no home, no occupation,
and that you couldn't buy a lemon if
they sold 'em at a cent a million.
Straighten up, look me in the eyes and

Official Figures.
MCGoNIGLE,

During the past week the condi-
ton of winter wheat in $50 counties
has been reported to the Agricultural
Department at Washington. About
800 counties of the valleys of the
Ohio and Missouri are represented,
which last year produced 10000,
900 bushels of winter. or 60 per cent.
of the product of seven States. from
Ohio to Kansas. The average of the
condition in these States is 63 per
cent. indicating only ive-eighths of
a full crop. ifno Improvement ccurs.
In Kentucky IS per cent. Ohio So,
Indiana &c. Illinois s., Missouri 90,
Kansas 81, though only 50 counties
in the latter State are represented.
The condition is better in Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland and Virginia, though
below an average. A few wheat
counties In New York make extreme
ly unfavorable returns. The pro-
portion tobe replanted in other crops
will average Ii per cent. in the vest
or 100000 acres, seeded. The
largest proportion is "a per cent. IN
Missouri. Illinois %, Kansas and
Indiana IL, Michigan and Ohio 10,
Kentucky 4. There will be very
little replanting necessary in the
Middle States, except in New York.
