The Mission of the Grange

This can be told in few words. II
is to elevate the farmer mentally, So
cially, morally and financially. That
explains 1T all. As sequence of all
this, better and more efficient system
of agriculture will follow.
The Grange proposes to raise the
standard Of education for the benefit
of farmers sons and their daughters ;
to build up schools and colleges !; 10
establish libraries; to encourage the
circulation of useful papers; in II
word, to diffuse intelligence among the
industrial classes.
What nobler object than this +? Who
is ready to condem1it? Should il not
be encouraged by all good citizen S
How can we dignity labor and advance
the cause of agriculture without iu-
telligence2 When the tillers of the
soil. heretofore, more or less, oblivious
to the necessity of education. step for
ward, as they are now doing in the
Grange, and concede the Importance
of more fully enlightening the agri-
cultural mind, they should be encour-
aged and not ridiculed, as many have
one. t
Gradually other classes are begin
ming to find out that the Grange was
not organized to open fire upon them.
Every true Patron Will at once con-
cede the necessity of having other
classes, and he will strive. as far as he
can, to work IN harmony with them.

The Currency Question.

This cry for specie payment is de-
lu| on; the argument in favor of it fall
lacious. fit should be decreed day
that gold should be the only legal cur
rency the whole country would be bank
rupt in forty-e: ght hours. Those people
who clamorso loudly for specie payment
are, shown in their true colors, moth
ing but repudiationists, for if specie
payment should be adopted neither
Guvernmet, State, corporation nor in
dividual would be able to pay dollar
of debt. Paper money has constantly
been discredited in consequence Of the
unwiSe legislation of the Federal Gov
eminent, by refusing to receive it at
Iar for import duties and dues of all
kinds. Greenbacks would be of equal
value with gold to-day, if customs du-
ties could be paid with them, and if
this could be done we should at once
have specie valuation, and there would
be no further cry for specie payment.
For home trade 4 paper currency is
all sufficient, for who wants to weigh
down his pockets with pounds of golu /?
And as to our trade with foreign ma
lions. we are one of the largest gold
producing countries, and that consti-
tutes a very important article of ex-
port, as important as cotton or grain,
with all of which We settle our indebt-
edness abroad. The money-kiDgs cam
not be benefited by the good of the
country at large, and as the good Of
the country lies in the increase Of pa
per currency, the money-kings howl
ior specie payments. With gold for
the only legal currency the country
will be bankrupt, with an increase of
paper cure ncy it will be, live and let
live.-Richm0nd IHhiq.

Senator ehristiancy,s Hopeful Views.

senator CnrtstlancyS Hopefui VIEWS
In a recent speech at Kalamazoo,
Hon. Isaac P. Christiancy, the new
Senator from Michigan, expressed some
sentiments which have the ring of that
true craftsmanship which the country
never stood in greater need of than
now. lie said:
Let us adhere with all frmness and
fidelity TO the spirit and purpose of
the unconstitutional amendments secur-
ing the equality Of all men before the
law, and 10 the enforcement of such
laws as are necessary to carry them
into effect, not forgetting what | fear
we are too apt to forget, that the same
Constitution secures like equality
among the States. aud that mere social
equality, depending upon personal or
habitual likes and dslikes, no human
enactments can enforce; that under
the Constitution, and tor the preserva-
ton of liberty, the State Governments
are just as essential as the Federal
Government; that each is sovereign
within its respective and appropriate
sphere: that the utmost delicacy
should be observed by each in the ex-
ercise of doubtful powers, and that
the vigilance of ell is demanded against
the usurpation By either OF the powers
belonging TO the other We must ex-
pect some clashing and Earring in the
machinery of government And while

men at the South accept, as believe
all parties at the North do, the final
extinction of slavery, and the consti-
tutional amendments 10 good faith, us
the unalterable result Of the recent
war, we must make due allowance for
the shortcomings and occasional out
breaks among the less enlightened of
their population. They have all had
enough of war, and have no greater
wish TO renew it than we have. Aud
however some of them might desire
the restoration of slavery no party in
the North will dare to advocate such
retrogression. But all will feel that
upon this question they have given
bonds to fate, and that one step back
ward will be the annihilation of the
party which shall be weak enough to
take it. And without Northern aid
the people of the South too we'll un-
derstand that such course would
only destroy their influence in the
Government. But while We insist upon
their obedience to the laws and Con-
stitution of the Union, let US be care
FIJI to set them a like example of a
| like obedience on our own part, and
lttus Seek to win their affections by
| kindness, eeutleness, magnanimity and
forbearance, by candor and good faith,
and every conciliatory means in our
pc yer, allowing no mere partisan in
tereSts to make us unjust, always re-
me mbering that we are brothers of the
same flesh and blood; that in the ter
' ribie war which resulted in their de-
feat, they suffered more than We, that
henceforth their prosperity aud ours
are inseparablyss connected, and our
fate is to be common one; remem-
bering, also, that their fathers as we'll

to shoulder in the war that made us a

Conventions and Organization.

1t is of vital Importance TO Virginia
and to the best interests of the whole
country that the Conservative party
should be preserved. Organization is
absolutely essential to the mainten-
ance of its supremacy, and no man
who calls himself true son Of Nir-
ginia and who holds Radicalism in ab
hOrrence will put himself in any polit-
cal attitude before the people by which
the harmony and organization of the
Conservative party might be disturbed

date what is he independent Of? OF

party, or Of both, with hope Of sup

of both parties let both parties be in

Unless it be deemed best by those
who know best in their particular
