Trenton Letter.

TRENTON, Feb. 20, 1876.
Editor Grange Adcance:-
Our stormy weather has vanished
and we dwell in sunshine again.
Sleighingfs about done and the wagon
has to be resorted to. Every thing
looks like spring.
w. LeeColyer has returned from his
visit to England. He reports times
better there than here at present. He
was we'll pleased with his journey. His
many friends rejoice to see him back
again.
There will be grand Centennial
festival held in Cowell's Hall, on Tues
day evening, End day Of March, for the
benefit Of Rev. Mr.. Collins, our circuit
preacher. Every thing is being done to
have pleasant time and all are cordial
ly invited. Come your self and bring
your friend, and for !, good purpose
your money spend.
Our wood mer erchants have low spirits
at the prices of wood; and lumber seems
to be drug. Provisions are quite low
and those with money can procure an
easy living.
There have been some wild cats seen
in this vicinity This should be a
warning to those who keep late hours
in their uncle's groves.
Mr.. and Mrs. adams, who have been
here visiting friends, will return home-
ward next week.
Now is the time for farmers to look t.,
their implements, and see that all are in
order for the busy seed time.
The farms in the woods are becom-
ing larger and soon this locality will be
a thrifty agricultural region.
There is splendid chance to start a
cheese factory in the Trimbelle valley
in the west part of the town. Some
one with a knowledge Of the business
and small capital would do well.
B. F. Way is under the weather;
caused by a heavy cold.
James Barnes lately purchased an
organ and music now flows from his
residence. TRENToN1rE.

The Brooklyn Congregational
Council, called at the instance of
Plymouth church OF, that city, to SET
tie certain questions growing out of
the Beecher scandal case, don't
seem to be making any great deal
Of progress. 1t evidently will not
dive down into the bottom facts. nor
is it probable that its conduct will
result in satisfying anybody or in
changing anybody's opinions.
The Grange advance., 1876-02-23

$ssas.-- o1ld it not be advisable for
those newspapers which are rejoic-
ing over the changes made by the
Wisconsin legislature in the Potter
railroad law, and making that the oc-
casion for declaring that what they
call the " Granger railroad legisla~
ton" has done such infinite injury
to the Western States, to tell their
readers in what such injury consists?
Suppose they give us some statistics
in proof of their assertions. They
know very we'll that they cannot
do so, that the assertions are not
true, and that, in making them they
are simply toadying to the railroad
companies. On the contrary, this
restrictive legislation, although stop
ped short of its full benefits by the
weakness or wickedness of legisla-
tors, has conferred inestimable ben-
ehts on the entire people of the
West, by partially relieving them
from system Of excessive extortion,
which was fast reducing the farmers
to poverty. Impoverish our farm
ers, and what will become of our
local business men? OF our town
property? Of the entire country?
Let us hear no more, then, of empty
assertions about the injury resulting
from this restrictive legislation, un-
til you give us some proof that you
have a reason, however slight, for
making them. Such unsupported
declarations amount to nothing and
only make him who utters them ap-
pear ridiculous; and, especially so,
when they are so palpably untrue.

There is a gradual but observ-
able shifting in the positions and
leaderships Of both parties, which is
curious to say the least. In the re-
publican organization the Grant and
anti-Grant divisions are most promi-
nent and attract most attention, but
these are again subdivided into
smaller factions, each of which. has
its special favorite, and, as time
passes, the struggle between these
becomes sharper and fiercer. Blaine,
who recently seemed the most pop
ular is evidently losing ground, and
we should not be surprised if, by the
time the convention meets. Judge
Davis, Of Illinois, should be found
to be the man most likely to lead

The Bond Question.

The legislative committee, to
whom was referred the matter of
settlement of the old railrc<>l bonds,
have made very sensible report.
They show that the position occu-
pied by this State in relation to these
bonds is not without parallels, and
instance the conduct of the States
of Indiana, Michigan and Arkansas
to prove that similar difficulties have
existed in each OF those coulnluni-
ties, and have been settled BY CON-
promises.
They deny that the State is under
any moral obligation to pay the full
amount Of these bonds, or that it is
suffering in reputation by such re-
fusal. They recommend that the
State shall wait until the termination
of the suits Of Hon. Selah Chamber,
lain against two of the railroad COM
panies Of the State, and if the courts
shall decide that the companies sued
are not responsible for the payment
of these bonds, that the State shall
then indicate its readiness to re-
ceive propositions for settlement
from the bond. holders.
The committee hold that the
proposition to settle should come
from the bond-holders; that these
should be willing to accept what is
fair and reasonable, and that it is
the duty of the State to guard itself
against unjust demands in the ad-
justment of this matter. They deny
that the State is being injured by its
refusal to pay these bonds, declaring
that, on the other hand, it is unfor-
tunate]y too easy not only for the
State, but for the towns and counties
of the State to borrow money on
their bonds.
Now, let the bond-holders come
on with their propositions of equi-
table settlement, whenever the
Chamberlain suit is decided in favor
of the railroad companies, and, then,
if the State shall refuse to settle the
matter fairly, it will be time enough
for them to raise the cry of repudia-
ton. States have no right to sub
NIT to being robbed.

COUPON PAYMENT.
The Appeals Policy of Fair Play In
dOrsed-Let the Governor Be
Heard.

EDITORS APPEAL-I am glad to see
that you ask a suspension of public
opinion in regard to Governor Porter's
action in reference to the payment of
the COUPONS of July, 1875. You have
given your own views very freely, but
you wish justice done to all parties.
Governor Porter may have some very
good reasons for his action, or he may
not. If the law requires the coupons OF
July, 1875, to be paid, then Governor
Porter was compelled to obey the law.
IL the law does not require the coupons
to be paid, and that the attorney gene.
raj will decide, the money will be re-
tanned until the legislature determines
what shall be done with it. 1t might be
proper, as we cannot pay all we owe, to
retain this fund to use in our settlement
with our creditors. II, however, the law
makes it imperative on the treasurer to
nav this money to the holders of the
coupons of July, 1876, we cannot blame
the governor. II the last legislature did
not intend any interest to be paid, why
did they keep the tax at forty cents,
when it was known that fifteen or
twenty.cents tax would pay the ex-
penses of the State government? Let US
hear Governor Porter, and let us learn
what the attorney general says the law
is, before we too hastily condemn our
candidate for governor. The APPEAL,
while expires sing its own opinions freely,
has pursued q prudent CO urse. II Gov.
ernOr Porter has made a mistake and
violated the Jaw, he will doubtless rec
tify his mistake as soon as possible. II
the law ia with him we cannot condemn
him. DEMOCRAT.
