To the Members Of the order IN
Tennessee.
The unanimous voice of the State
Grange of Tennessee, at its recent
session bore testimony to the eff
Gent labors of THE PATRON OF
HUSBANDRY, in behalf of our Or
der. 1t was acknowledged that as
a factor in the GRANGE movement ii
had no superior. Bro. Worthington
deserves success, for he has been a
fearless advocate of the cause of the
farmer and sacrificed much to make
his paper what we all would wish
it to be. If every Patron in the
Southern States would, without
further delay, forward one dollur
for one years subscription to THE
PATRON, the cause would be ad-
vanced and Bro. Worthington sus-
tanned. [ reuezo mine-and call
upon my brothers and sister Pa
irons to put off this duty to the
Order not one day longer. You
will receive full value for your in
vestment in each number of most
excellent journal. AS CO. operation
has been SO decidedly endorsed by
the State Grange at McMinnville
our members will naturally desire
more "light" and information on
this question. and nowhere can
that be found more satisfactory to
tie reader than in the columns of
THE PATRON. AS our State Grange
has no authorized organ, our mem
bers must look to THE PATRON for
most of the progress of the Order
in the South. H. CURREY,
Secretary.

AT the last meeting of the Mis-
sissippi StatcGrauge it was remarks
ed by several delegates, when the
reports from the different counties
were made, that the report from
this county Gowndes) was the
most discouraging that was made.
The Order in this county at that
time was indeed at low ebb. We
had but three Oranges that were in
working order, and they We're ac-
compl shing but little, but our dele-
gate, Bro. f. NJ. Franks, was so en-
couraged by the spirit of the other
delegates that on his return be
commenced work in real earnest to
revive the Order here. A number Of
our best Patrons-Bro. CIV. Shedd,
A. 2 Leech, John McReynolds, A /.
G. EasIey, l.. I'll. Wood, and others
promptly co-operated with him.
A co operative store was put in OPP,
GRAFTON by the members of Powell
and New Hope Oranges, aud il has
been so successful as TO excite con-
siderable interest in this and the ad-
joining counties OF Alabama on the
subject of cooperation. The good
work was kept up by these earnest

Patrons. and when Worthy Master
Darden reached the county he found
the people ready to receive him ana
listen to his argument. He deliv-
cred two able, eloquent speeches,
which thoroughly aroused our FAR
mers in behalf of :he Grange, and
for the first time sinee the Grange
was organized we had cath usiasn in
our ranks. The farmers of this
courtv We never before so fully
impressed with the necessity OF the
Grange, and this fe. ing mas gro wh
and strengthened and de. nenea "h
I'll they have become fully prep an -
for action. Two of the old Oranges
Powell and New Hope-are ma
king rapid progress, and are to-day
iDtinitcl Y stronger than ever. Three
dormant Oranges Caledonia, Zion
and ernacie-have been reor-
ganized with good sets of officers
and they will hereafter hold their
places in the ranks. Ii is probable
that Caledonia Grange will soon
establish CO. cooperative store. Three
other Oranges in this county, it is
hoped and expected, will doubtless
soon reorganize.
We are glad to say that the cir
cu'alion of THE PATRON in this
county is steadily growing, and
now promises to reach fair proper
tons.
What has been done in this coun-
ty by a few devoted Patrons can be
done In every county throughout
the country.

1t will be noticed by the Order,
that the special assessment of nine
cents levied at the Brownsville SEES
zion has been discontinued by the
State Grange. Several Oranges
have failed to pay this assessment.
They will please forward it with
their reports for September 80, as
the Burdens of the Order must be
borne by ali alike,-moreover it is
charged against them on the books
of the State Grange.

The State Grange also adopted a
recommendation to the farmers
throughout the State, in view of the
severe drought, that they use unu-
sual care and enconomy in the Win
tering of stock, and if possible to re-
tain enough of this years crops tor
home use until another crop can
be made.
James A. Harwood, of Davidson
county, was elected member OF
the Executive Committee to serve
for period of three years.
A special assessment of fifteen
cents per capita, levied at TIE
Brownsville session of the State
Grange, was ordered to be discon-
tinued, the purposes for which it
was levied having been accom-
plisned.
The Committee on Cooperation
were directed to prepare for publ
cation a statistical report to be sub
mitted to the Executive Committee,
and to be published for the use OF
the Order.
The action of the Executive Com
mittee, May 1880, granting permis-
sion to the Kentucky Grange Mu-
tual Benefit Life Association, to
transact business and issue policies
in Tennessee was approved.
A resolution was adopted author
izing the Executive Committee to
appoint and employ one or more
Lecturers to canvass the State IN
the Grange interests.
A motion was adopted recon-
mending sundry Grange papers as
worthy the support of the Order
refusing TO rec ognize or adopt any
one of them as the,oficial organ OF
the Grange of Tennessee.
A petition was also ordered to be
presented to the next Nationa
Grange, asking that the law be SC
amended as to allow professional
educators to be made eligible tc
membership.
A resolution complimentary tc
Hem. Asa Faulkner, and thanks fol-
coustesies shown and hospitality
extended by him was adopted by
the State Grange.
The town of Manchester, Coffee
county, was selected by ballot as
the next place of meeting, and the
third ednesday of August, 1851
fixed as the time for holding the
next session of the State Grange.
A resolution of thanks to the
Patrons and citizens of McMinn
vile and Warren county for their
welcome and generous hospitality
was adopted; also one thanking the
Methodist Episcopal Church fol-
the use of their building in which tc
hold the sessions of the Grange, anc
one thanking the railroads and no.
tells for reduced rates was unani
mously adopted.
The session of the Grange was
harmonious throughout, and taker
as a whole was one of the mos
profitable sessions held.
The entire delegation expressed
themselves highly pleased with
their visit to Mountain City.
The Grange adjourned at twelve
o'clock Thursday night, the session
lasting two days.

correspondent of the Times says
that news has been received here
from St. Petersburg of recent ar
rests there, including an official OF

advising the revolutionists of pre-
cautions which the Government IS
taking. Although the prisons are
full of persons accused of pollt-

Worthy Master Darden will hold
meetings in Marshall and DeSoto
counties next week. The Order in
those countie has been at stand

The members of the Order in
Tennessee are giving unusual atten-
ton to cooperation. We invite
their attention to several articles in
this issue of THE PATRON on that
important subject. Next week we
will publish other articles of great
interests on the same subject. They
members of the Order in Tennessee
should subscribe for THE PATRON
and keep posted on Co operation.

1t was our intention TO attend the
recent meeting Of the Tennessee
State Grange at McMinnviIle, but
we were unable TO start in time to
reach there on the first day of the
session. We started, however, ex-
pccting to be present at the third
days session, but in this we were
dlsappointed-the delegates in or
der to reach home on Saturday
completed their work late Thurs
day night and adjourned in time to
take the train Friday morning, and
we metsthem at TuIlahoma. Aside
from our failure to get to the meet
ing in time, we had a most delight
full trip. We met a number of our
Tennessee friends-earnest Patrons
who "have kept the faith, and
formed the acquaintance Of several
who had attended State Grange
meeting for the first time. All the
delegates were in excellent spirits,
and seemed hopeful of thorough
revival of the Order in the State.
The State Grange at this session
gave more than usual attention to
the question of cooperation, and it
was agreed that the Order should
now give its attention mainly to CO.
operation us the best means to rally
the farmers throughout the State to
the Grange. This is the policy we
have been advocating ever since
the National Grange recommended,
it,and 1T is exceedingly gratifying to
see the State Grange OF Tennessee
wheeling into line. The Grange in
Mississippi and Texas has mains
tanned its strength because of its
active support of cooperation.
The trip from East Mississippi to
central Tennessee via Meridian and
Chattanooga is a most pleasant one.
The Alabama and Great Southern
Railroad traverses a beautiful coun-
try, and it is so we'll managed, the
officers are SO courteous and effici-
ent and such good time is made, that
no one can fail to be pleased with
the route. Travellers from Mis-
sissippi and the Southwest going to
Chattanooga, Cincinnati and all
points East will find the route via
Meridian and Chattanooga the most
pleasant and rapid they can take
1t is far superior to the Memphis
and Charleston route, and this fact
rpeopIe are beginning to find out
We learn that persons 10 this entire
section going east now take the
Meridian and Chattanooga route
From Chattanooga to Nashville
the route is equally pleasant, The
St. Louis; Nashville and Chatta
nooga road is one Of the best 10 tn
country, and managed with all tn
efficiency that distinguish the rail
ways of the North. On both thcs
lines we found that the comfort O
the passengers was the leading con
sderatiOn with the officials, an
this, with thier general good man
agcment, are strong recommends
ations to the travelling public.

A sIGNIFIGANTLETT FROM
THE NEW SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY.
Pointing Ont the Dangers of Railroad
and Telegraph Consolidation.
SENATE CHAMBER. !
WASHINGTON. Feb. Io. I

The Hon. &. E. Czittsndsn, President Ma
tional. Ant; Monopoly League:
MY DEAR SIR:-I deeply regret that
officialfdaties of an imperative character
prevent the acceptance of your kind in-
vitation to address the meeting at Coop
er Institution the 2lst inst. Until to-
day Fhoped to be able to arrange my
business so IS to attend the meeting. but
find it will be impossible.
Tie purpose Of your League, as un-
derstand it, is not to wage war upon cor
porations or individuals, but, conceding
to all their just rights, to demand full
protection, for the rights of the citizen
against the abuses and aggressions of
corporate power, and to- insist upon the
enforcement of these principles of law
and natural right defined by the Su-
preme Court of the United States. In
this effort you have my most hearty,
sympathy and cooperation. Yourcause
is just, but in sach contest you crap
pie with giants, Do not underrate the
power or the skill of your antagonists.
Wise and conservative counsels will
alone secure success. You must be as
prompt to cencede rights as you are de-
termined in demanding them. No agra
rian or communistic spirit must find a
placefnyon proceedings. The charac-
ter of the men who compose your organ
ization gives assurance against danger
on this point, Constitutions, material
rights and the spirit of our institutions
are on fyour, side. rIntrenched behind
these and lighting for the right, you can
not fail.
Corporate power has done much to
develop pour country For its good
deeds freely accord it full credit. AS
an instrument to execute the will and
serve the interests of the public, it
is of incalculable value; but rs the i'm
perious ruler of the people, it is most
cruel and relentless tyrant. Kept within
the limits of proper restraint, it is an
invaluable servant of the public. I'm
restrained by the forces Of Ia ~oahd pub
lie opinion, twill prove a most danger
Gus master. The, individual citizen is
impotent to contend with this gigantic
and rapidiy-growfng power. Govern
mental authority, State and national,
alone is competent to restrain its ag-
gressions and correctiit its abuses. have
long foreseen that the time would come
whentbe people would be compelled to
invoks the exercise of that authority for
their proteotion.aI repeat to-day, in sub
stance. words uttered seven years ago,
that there are in this country four men
who, in the matter of taxation, possess
and frequently exercise powers which
neither Congress norP any Of (onr State
Legislatures wSuld dare to exert pow
ers which, if exercised in Great Britain,
would shake the throne to its very
foundatiph. THESE inen may 1t ans
