THE CHANGERS IN LOUISIANA.

The Monroe Qa correspondent OF the Chicago Inter
Ocean says that the number of grangers in that State is
about 15 900 The people who are directly interested
In agriculture in that State are divided into three
classes, viz =
l. The great mass of farm laborers, colored men,
who work for hire at the large plantations and do not
own land.
work and often do not even oversee the work them
selves or this class many are lawyers merchants and
brokers' who employ overseers their country places
while they conduct their business in town. They
we're the slaveowners before the
g. The third class consists of white farmers owning
small farms In the hill parishes or uplands, men who
do their work and did not own slaves in the old
times Most of these farmers poor and they
confined TO the poorer portions Of the State having
been crowded out of the rich bottoms by tho great
slave. owners, who occupied all the best lands In the
first settlement OF the country. The number OF these
poor white farmers is not accurately known, but is
probably not less. than 5000 voters They are a
class honest, industrious, welldisposed people. Free
schools existed to any extent among them and
their mail facilities have always been very limited
Consequently they are far behind the common
farmers of the North In intelligence Very
few of them took any paper before the
war; not of them took any Northern paper
then, or republican paper since. Their political
opinions and principles were furnished by the lawyers
or merchants of the town where they traded. This
still continues to be the source OF their politics. Most
of these people were opposed to secession in 1861 but
as there no concert OF action among them their
opposition poweress They formed the rank and
file of many regiments in the rebel army and fought
bravely. Those who did not enlist hunted with
boodhounds and killed if they refused to volunteer.
Since the war they have voted the democratic ticket
every election the old political leaders simply telling
them how to vote, and exciting their prejudces by
every falsehood they could invent.
Such, in brief, IS the material out OF which grangers
are made. The habit of following others instead of
acting Independently and the lack OF confidence in
themselves make the real farmers tmid and enable
the lawyers and merchants still to control them The
planters and professional men, who also planta-
tlons have entered the oranges everywhere and arc
the leaders Many OF them have interests directly
opposed to the of the grange and are working
to subver and divert the order for their own selfish
ends The real farmers have allowed such to be-
come members the grange because of their business
habits and capacity, thinking thereby TO strengthen the
order and advance its interests In this they made
serious mistake, the divisions existing plainly
show Some Of the old political leaders have also
joined and trying to the organization for pollti
cal purposes Still there is for hopefuness The
increasing intelligence of the mass of small farmers
the chief encouragement. May it continue.
