STATE GRANGE.

We had call from Hon. John s. Armstrong
on Monday, on his way home from the
meeting of the Illinois State Grange at Peoria
last week. The Grange, AS most Of our read
crs are aware, holds its meetings with closed
doors, so that Il very small portion Of its pro
cecdngs reach the public. Mr.. Armstrong re
ports the proceedings throughout to have been
harmonious and Of deep interest The address
of the master, Mr. Forsyth, (Which has been
published) was especially interesting and
able Mr.. Forsyth was reelected Master for
the current year; J, NJ. Chambers, Of Cook
county was elected secretary and Mr.. Arm.
strong, for the third time, was reelected treas
urer, being now the oldest officer in the grange
and Mrs. }. 5. Armstrong was elected Ceres.
The finances of the grange are in a healthy
condition, though we neglected to get of Mr..
A. the footings of the balance sheet As some
indication of their nature, however it may be
stated that with the loose money in his hands
Mr.. A. on Monday purchased $500 in govern
ment bonds in behalf of the grange

There are cities, even in the old Bay State,
that are as heavily taxridden as any of the
bankrupt western cities. The Lowell, Mass,
Courier makes the following curious relation:
George Bancroft surrendered twenty estates
to the city of Cambridge, Mass, rather than
pay the large assessments charged him for
betterments in consequence of filling the streets
in front of them. He then asked that he
should be allowed for them the $S3,G00 for
which they were taxed The city, however,
refused to give him more than $4,000, and a
sheriff's jury appraised them at $l2O27.
Bancroft appealed, and the Superior Court set
aside the verdict, not on account of its injus-
ticc, but on technical grounds, which have
been carried to the Supreme Court.
The practice is common enough in the west
to assess property for public improvements in
proportion to the supposed amount Of benefit
derived from the improvement, but it seems
reasonable that law authorizing such an as.
sessmcnt ought TO include the privilege of tie
owner surrcndering the property to the corpo-
ration if he prefers to do so rather than specu.
