.JUNE 27, 1S73.
There are already over 2,000,000
members of FaMftfra' Granges in ihe
United States.
The cholera is raging at Washing
ton, Nashville, Cincinnati, Memphis
ami other Eastern ami Southern
cities. There is no immediate danger
of it cominpfio the Pacific coast.
TnE trial of Victoria Woodhull
and Tcnnie C. Claflin, for circulating
obscene documents, is now in pro
gress in New York. Mrs. Woodhull
is quite ill, and is attended in court by
her physician. ' ,
The Tort Townsend Argus claims
to bo published nearer the North
Pole than any other paper in the U.
S. If the Jrgus is to be taken , ns a
sample of North Pole ability all
newspapers bad better ba published
in tLo Tropics.
Scs.vx 1. Antiioxy was fined
$100 and costs for voting for Grant
last year. That is certainly a light
punishment for so great an offense.
The dispatches tells us that Susie's
cackling sisters will indignatc over
the "0111" at New York shortly.
Sister Dcxiwa y got mad because
I the editor of the Oregonian says sho
is a ; Mitchell apologist, and she now
classes Bro. Hill with the rest of the
unsanclificd Oregon journalists. She
holds up her ban. Id in holy horror and
virtuously exclaims : 'Et In, yon
brute."
Ik Raleigh, N. C, on the Cth. two
men, Gufiey and Mordocai, wore dress
ed to be hung, and a large crowd had
assembled to see it, and as thoy were
at their devotion, a dispatch was re
ceived, commuting their sentence to
imprisonment lor lift.
Alleging the inability t cultivat
ed gentlemen like Charles Fr.incts
Adams to lead the masses, the Loni
ville Courier-Journal says : uVe
need a brilliantly educated ruffian a
heroic statesman-like, high minded
and honest blackguard a. blather
skite,wiih courage and real genius for
public business."
Meacham still insists that he killed
SchoiiL-hin, and Schon'chin, who is now
a prisoner with Capt. Jack, sti'l in
sists that Meacham didn't kill him
nor even shoot at him. , Now, either
Meacham is crazy or old Schonchin
hasn't sense enough to know when he
is dead. The reader can fix it . np to
suit himself. We never .were very
good at conundrums and this Scon-chin-Ue.icIi.im
imbroglio fully "pro
cures us."
Mks. Stanton counsels women to
quit working for churches aiid be
nevolent institutions, and go in lor
their own redemption from the tyrant
men. "Make a social revolution," she
exclaims; "carry the war, if need be,
into your own families; let the baby
go without bibs, the husband s shirts
without buttons, the home without
care, until the men give in. When
they find their comfort depends, on
allowing us the ballot, they will wheel
inline and give it to ns." That's
enough for us. We would surrender
in ad vance "before it gu , half , that
bad,', . - . : t

It is nniversally . denied by. those
so know anything of the matter that
the Oregon Volunteers murdered the
Modoc prisoners a few weeks' ago,
and yet we 6ee that the Salem Stales
man, in order to make a little politic
cal capital against our worthy Govern
nor, assumes that the Volunteers were
guilty of the atrocity' and that the
Governor is derelict in duty in , not
searching out the offenders.. It is a
lamentable spectacle t see a journal
" istr grossly slandering the citizens,
of his own State, even by im
plication; , simply Jo prove his hatred:
of one of those citizens who happens
to be in anthoriiy. - f !-
Meachaji is still on Ids crazy
travels in the East'.' The last we
hear of him is at New Yjur'n, where he
tells a news monger that those
Indians that killed Canby and Thom
as should be tried and execiited, 'and
the rest of the'Modocs remanded to
the reservation. Not a word does he
ntter in behalf ot the murdered set
tlers on our frontier or in favor of
punishing their murderers! i And yet
Meacham is an Oregonian. ' In- the
light of his conduct it cannot be ex
pected -that' the 'friends - of those
seventeen murdered pioneers will be

This action of the lladical administra

might do without an Indian Super
intendent, but Oregon certainly ;f re
quires it. If the Indian affairs' of our
State tTon't get considerably jnixml in

As the farmers' organization, umler
the name of Grange, are now' forming
pretty extensively in Oregon, it; may
not be amiss just at this tinio to give
the public some idea of the derivation'
of the name and its application to the
present organization. We haven't
got into the Grango yet nor have
we been black balled out of it; but in
common whh all other friends of ag
riculture we take an interest in this or
any other movement -calculated to
benefit the producers of the country,
and shall therefore , give any informa
tion obtainable which may be of in
terest to that important class of our
people, j
, The word Granpo points to the
general feudal character of the move
ment initiated bv northwestern farm
ers, Grango has a variety of mean
ings or shades of meanings, but nil
pointing to an agricultural connection.
In French it- means grain-farm, in
Grangier it means a farmer. In old
Scotch it means' a place where tho
tithes and rents joi the church were
paid in kind; and in modern Scotch
it means a grain-farm's building. In
ordinary English it means a farm and
all that belongs to it that is not mov
able. The word is very old, and it is
far from being limited to a mere farm.
Scott often uses it in that higher and
more aristocratic sense to which it is
fairly entitled. llolherwood, in
"Ivanhoo" Cedrio's extensivo abode,
is called a Grange, the lime being the
close ot the twelfth century. When
Maurice de Bracy tries to persuade
the Lady Kowcna to consent to mar
ry him, he having abducted her, he
asks her "Howelse wouldst thou es
cape from the mean precincts of a
country Grange, where Saxons herd
with the swine which form their
wealth 5"" to wh'ych the lady, referring
to Kotherwood, replies, "Sir Knight
the Grange which you condemn has
Ieen my shelter from infancy." Now,
Howeiia is represented as being of the
old Saxon blood-royal, and Cedric
was of the hihest Saxon birth be
neath that cf Kings; and the Saxons,
though the contrary belief generally
prevails, were more aristocratic than
were their conquerors, the Normans.
The interval of time between ,-Ivan-hoe"
and "Waverly" is about five cen
turies and a half and in the "Waver
ly," Grange is spoken of as an aristo
cratic residence, as we arc told that
the Weekly Intelligencer the only
journal that Sir Everand Waverly
-patronized" and ''took in" was
transferred from Waverly Home ''to
the rectory, from the rectory to Squire
Siuhls at the Grange, from the Sqnire
to the Baronet's steward at his neat
white house, the heath," &nd so on; and
an English Squire in the first half of.
George IPs reign was a person of no
slight consequence in English society
and politic.. La Granja is a name of
one of the finest Taees (San Ildefnno)
in Spain, .builS a century and a half,
ago by Phi'Iip N., first of Spain's Bour
bon Kings.'' La Grange is the name
of Lafayette's " chateau, where the vie
de cJuttean of earlier days was as well
kept; np in this century as it democ
racy had been heard of. The. word
has about the same meaning as park,
lodge, and, . .hall,, when applied to a
high class residence. La Grange and
Lagrange are distinguished names in
the science the scolarship and the
soldiership of France. ; Thus we see
that the name which the North western
farmers (or. Grangers) have adopted
for their league has an aristocratic
flavor,, and that .there is even a royal
twang about it; but it is to be noted
that it is always connected- with the
land, and with farming and gardens
and ' orchards, and the tike nice or
useful things and the" 'land is the
b-isis of aristocracy and of ascendan-
ey in all countries but our own. :

ment? I' it not extensive monopo'

traciao corrupt Legislators who ac
cept money as a bribe to political and

now is the most propitious time that
has presented itself for many years,
for tho working class, by an honesty
of purpose, and unity of action to ef.-'
feet a reformation in the law-making
power, by excluding from halls of
legislation all railway or other hire?
lings who prostitute public offices to
tho base uses of private gain. Some
meu, farmers, are startled nt the cry
of politics when assembled together for
the discussion of matters pertaining to
their interests. Do railroad corpora
tions fear that cry when they desire
legislation in their - interests? Are
New England manufacturers dismayed
at the cry of politics when they ask
for. protective tariffs? Are banking
associations intimidated by that cry,
when, vulture like, they ask for legis-'
lation-having a tendency to impover
ish the people and enrich themselves?
Far from it. Then why should farm
ers feel any apprehension when that
cry is raised ? In my opinion, so long
as farmers refuse to exert all their in
fluence in political warfare, so long as
they surrender the law-making power
to those opposed to their interests, just
so long will the cry ot oppression and
' hard times" resound from ono end of
the land Jo the other.
STEPHEX STAAT3.
ASTOKIA AM A NIUPMXU POI.VT.
Astouia, June 21, 1873.
Editor Democrat:
How long is Oregon to bo imposed
upon, and her trade injured, by the
shippers and capitalists of San Fran
cisco, and the wholo State made to
subserve the interests of that proud
city? The ship "Puritan" has just
crossed the terrible Columbia river
bar, at half low tide, drawing 21 feet
water. She is the heaviest chip that
has ever ascended the Columbia river,
and had it not been for the June
flood, sho could not have taken in but
one-third of her cargo at Portland in
place of two-thirds, as she did; and
still she had to wail for tides on her
way down, and finish her cargo at this
place. . Tho imposition I alludo to is
this: (and it is one that is common.)
The Captain was assured by the firm
of Allen & Lewis that any vessel that
could cross the Columbia , river bar
could loid at Portland down to 24
feet and come down without difficul
ty Now, what will be tho conse
quences of such misrepresentations?
Just lhis:s The Captain declares he
will never bring his ship to the Col
ombia river again, consequently ship
pers must look up some one else that
they can impose upon, and whom they
can induce by false representations to
undertake to load a two thousand ton
ship, near tho foot of Mount Hood,
and take her through the mountain
ranges to the sea.. Depend upon this,
Mr. Editor, unless the producing
class who have farm products' to sell
in Oregon, rise en mount and break
through this net-work that binds them
to California, and be determined .in
the resolution they will have the same
advantages enjoyed by other States
having a good Port for a foreign trade,
Oregon will never prosper in propor
tion to. her natural ad vantgei.I have
looked, and still have some hopes that
the farmers' would agree upon some
plan for getting their surplus products
to tlte open ocean at a greatly re
duced rate of' freight 'charges; but
when the farmer would, in convention,
vote' that bo would not '.agree to
ship his, wheat to Astoria,, although
convinced that he would save by so
doing I confess' that it appears that
they love the chains that binds them
and are determined to wear them
This was not the feeling of a majority;
if so, there could be no 'sense in the1
movement. There will be heartless
men in all communities, but, it is to
be hoped that there are but few.: ,
The ice is now broken, and the mat
ter should 'no. be suffered 'to sleep
again until our trade is brought into
the right channel, that the farmer
may be remunerated for his labor and
therSiate occupy her proper position

j On reachiug Brownsville I stepped
in to look at the Moolen factory, and
found if iri activV operation, manned
by three first class mechanics from
the Salem woolen factory, Who are
capable of manufacturing all the vari
ous kinuVof clothi ' It the farmers
and citizens of Oregon will now back
np homo industry and have' their
wool and goods all manufactured at
home it will be a saving benefit to
Oregon. Those goods manufactured
at Brownsville wilt be warranted, to
be all .woolen not one-third cotton
like the most of tho woolen goods at
the present time. Let the farmers of
Linn county now have all their pant
aloons aud under shirts manufactured
at home. It is not necessary that we
should send our wool to San Fran
cisco, and New. York to have; our
clothes made and shipped back again
to ns. -Let us have it alf. done, at
home and save the money that we
have to pay to snip the wool and the
goods both ways It would, be bad
poltey for the farmers of Oregon to
ship their wheat to New . York to
have it manufactured into flour to be
shipped back again to Oregon for
home consumption, wonld it not?
therefore, Jet every man when he
buys a suit of clothes or Jiny other
woolen goods, see that it is manu
factured in the State of Oregon,' es
pecially in Brownsville, as he will be
sure of a first class article. This will
be the means of building np Oregon
and keeping at least some of the
money at home. From a
