of ID. II. Chase, of New Hampshire,
and j. n. Jones, of Arkansas, was
appointed to take the subject under
cOnsidc ration and report on Monday

consideration the removal of the
headquarters of the National Grange,
hut reached no conclusion. -Four
citics-Nashvil!e, Louisville, Indian
apolis and Cincinnatti-offer special
inducements. Cincinnati is especial
ly anxious to secure the headquarters,
and proposed to send delegation Of
prominent citizens to Washington to
confer with the executive cummittee,
but tho latter notified them that
thoy must submit their propositions
in writing, aud that no delegation
would be received. A proposition
looking to the Improvement of the
business interests of the order was
referred to the subcommittee. The
sum of five hundred dollars was dona

WASHING roN, July 4 The execu-
tive committee of the National
Grange yesterday determined to send
three Of their members, viz :
Messrs. Shankland, of Iowa, Chase,
Of New II l.mpshire, aud Jones, Of
Arkansas, to represent the Patrons of
uusbaudry in the Cotton States
Congress, which meets in Raleigh, N.
c., on the 18th instant. The COM
mittee have spent considerable timc
in receiving and considering the
proposition Of thu English CO.
operators for union for commercial
purposes Of the two bodies. The co.
operators arc represented by Thomas
ID. Worrall, Of Manchester, England,
who is the managing director Of the
company which is proposed as the
bond Of union. 1t appears that the
British 60 operative .ooieties are not
a secret body, hence it will be impos.
sible, under existing circumstances.
to unite with the Patrous but this
difficulty has been mot by the forma.
tion of trading company, having
the endorsement and support Of the
united cooperative lodges in ling.
land, and fully organized under the
English laws. The propositions are
to have two branches Of the society,
one in England and the other in the
United States. The board in each
country is to have absolute control Of
thr funds subscribed, wbioh are to be
used for the purpose Of lnternatlona
exchange of commodities. Tie cupi
tai is twonty.fve million dollars, and
lal transactions are to be cash or its
equivalent. The British co.operator
number 100000 members, and have
over thousand stores, rome SO or 81
cotton spinning mills, about 20 flour
ing mills, agricultural and horticui
tural sooities, and number Of manu-
features, and, of course, consume
large quantity Of American products
The funds subscribed by tue Englisl
branch of tho company will BIO en-
ployed in the purchase of supplies
the erection of warehouses, aud tn
manufacture of such articles as are il
constant demand among tire Patron
Of Husbandry. The chip will brin
goods to Now Orleans or other South
orn or Eastern ports il necessary au
thoy desire the Patrons to oMplo
their portion of tho capital in carry
ing tho Amerscan staplos and pro
ducts to meet these ships, and thu
to make the necessary exchange i
the most direct and simple manner
The co.oporators have large surplu
capital, which is constantly on tn
increase, and which they think ca
be proftably employed in this trade
While each branch of the compan
will have control Gifts own affair
the Two boards will form counoi
who will, by joint action, decide wha
branches Of business will be engage
in, and define the method and condut
of the same. America will send I
Liverpool to watch tho interests
the granger a branch Of the compan,
and the English board will have
like representative in New Orlean
