cooperative Associations.

NArhNihc aulectNNns
As ON Instance OF tho real good that
may come Of the present Epidemic Of
marriage and ether protective assooia-
lions, the Chattanooga Tradesman recslls
the history OF a cooperative concern in
England started thirty years ago with a
stock OF goods costing $50. That eorpora-
sion now owns one OF the largest Inercsn-
tile Establishments 10 all England; buys
grain by the ship load and erinds it ia
its own milisi has library Of thousands
of volumes; . large reading roomi an inn
mense hall for public meetings, counts
it's membership by the thousands aud its
capital by millions; all owned by work
people. Other like concerns in England
have made similar records. The institu.
ton here referred TO is founded on 81
shares, no one stock holder being allow cd
TO carry more than $50 except in cases oil
heads Of families, and they arc limited Il
$500. The suggestion is made that il
would be an easy matter for twenty
young men 30 pool their cash, say S5'
each, and embark il in some line Of trad'
or manufacture. That is g, 900 TO star
on, one Of the corporation TO manage th'
bu siness, and, al the end Of the first yea
81, 900 be added, or twice that sum. Sew

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Maxey, from the
committee on claims, reported favorably with
amendments the bill to Inappropriate and
apply the amount of the appropriation by the
act of March, 1877, to pay certain Southern
mail contractors.
The regular order was passed over and Sem
ator VOORHEES, addressed the senate upon the
resolution introduced by him declaring the
conduct of the state department in relation to
the arrest and Imprisonment by the British au-
thorities of Daniel insolvency and other
American citizens, as in violation of American
law, Inconsistent with the value of American
citizenship and derogatory to the honor OF the
United States.
Upon the close of Voorhees, remarks, the
galleries, containing many members OF the
Land League convention, manifested their
appreciation.
Senator Sherman remarked that the statute
which protects the right of foreign born citi-
zens, had been passed by the Republican party
and that the party had establishen the right
of expatriation. Upon his suggestion the
resolution OF VOORHEES, was referred TO the
committee ON foreign affairs, with the view of
inquiry into all the facts in the case.
After an executive session the senate adj
