THE GRAND FINALE.

The drawing of numbers from the wheels
ended shortly before 4 O'Clock this AFTER
noon. closing up with No. 1873, which
secured the holder but the small sum of
s3s. The twelfth to the last prize, how
ever, was little better, being for the respect
able sum Of s2s. 500, and one of the larges.
prizss drawn during the entire afternoon.
So far as known there were no holders OF the
largest prizes present in the hall at thedraw-
ing. The list oflucky tickets has been sent
out over the country, and of course 1t is lm-
possible fer the managers to tell who hold
them, as yet. The favorites of fortune
will no doubt be heard from
soon enough. 1t is said that the holder of the

well for this body to carefully prepare

of the fifth degree county oranges and
send it TO the states. This would not
of course, go to the states as law, but
recommended rs q plan prepared by,
and embodying the combined judg.
ment of the masters Of all the state
oranges I doubt not such o plan would
be generally welcomed, and would
tend to produce uniformity in the
work Of the several states. Tho prin-
cipal Office of the National Grange, I'M
der the management of our worthy
secretary, is each year assuming more
systematic and perfect shape. The
amount Of business done aud the man.
ner of doing il will be fully shown in
his report. 1t is an agreeable fact to
state that the revenues Of the National
Grange have been aboyc the expendi-
lures, thus leaving balance in the
treasury, as will appear by the report
of the worthy treasurer. This subject
of our finances is one upon which the
members Of the Order are particularly
aud very properly quite sensitive, and
we owe it not only to them, but to our
selves, that the receipt and disburse-
mcnt of all moneys be conducted in .
manner which will commend itself to
the Judgment of business men. II was
not my intention to tire your patience
SO long, but subjects Of importance

the conservatives will organize, and
organize J0r 0ictory, and just as
Louisiana, Georgia, Texns, Arkansas,
Alabama and mississippi were re:
deemed, even 30 will South Carolina
be redeemed, and the last sestige OF
radicalism will bo swept from tho
South.
1t is still too early to dictate our
policy. We shall counsel that which
is most feasible and most peaceable.
We confidently beliove that tho
election of Moses and Whipper will
create a wide breach in tho republi
Gun party, and that oil opportunity
will be given for peaceful solution
OF tho difficulty. But Mt the same
timo wo but expross tho sentiment
of tho people when we assert that
South Carolina shall be redeemed
N some way, that no step will be
taken backward, that tho day for
robbery and oppression has passed,
and that the whole army of thieves,
rank and file, must be routed forever.
The only hopo for the republican
party lies in the immediate resiguo-
ton or i3,UsncI,ue,t of IIIh ;,,,o,
md Moses. And in the light of
party cxpedicncy wo might hope
that Mother of these resorts will
DO adopted. It is just as well to
have a Mississippi democratic victory
in South Carolina, if the people
resolve upon it, as to have victory
through coalition. But events will
shape themselves. Let us in the
meantime be on the alert.

IN a village. On certain OCCASION, he
was invited to the country to preach
One of his official members went out
to hear him, but unfortunately, lie
repeated the sermon of tho previous
Sabbath. At M early day his eide,
called to romonstrate with him
The minister seemed astonished and
