Arid now comes that '-Iowa Union "Wan" with another letter in the Hulk tin of last Friday, in which he reiter ate the assertion that he beani the editor of this paper jubilato and ex ult over the hanging of Mrs. Surratt. The writer of the letter says he w&s a comrade of ours in.the army, during , the war, and remembers distinotly the language use3 by us at the time of the exeoution ot Mrs. Surratt. Here is the exact language he uses in the letter to the JJulleti; "We belonged to the same com pany, and I cannot be mistaken about his rejoicing at Mrs. Surratt'a being nung.- ve an uia it," How, to prove what an execrable, nntuitigated, wholesale liar the writer of the foregoing sentence is we will- state a few historical facts with which very school-boy is conversant. Gen. Lee surrendered to Grant on the 9th day of April, 18CS; President Lincoln was assassinated on the 14th of April five days after the surren der,: Mrs. Surratt was tried, sen tenced and executed on a charge of complicity in the assassination. She was hanged on the 7th day of July, 1806, months after the surrender of i , the Confederate foroes and altor the war was virtually at an end. Thus flinch for history. . Onr discharge from the military ' service bears date Deo. 11, 18C1 three years and a half before the ex ecution of Mrs. Surratt and we wore never again in service, On the 2d day of May, 1865 less than three wo'eks after the assassination of Lin coln we started aoross the plains, for Oregon, in company with a large train of immigrants, and wore in the Rooky .Mountains at the time of the execu , tion ot Mrs. Surratt. Our parly first beard of it at Fort Halleck, and uni versal expressions of denunciation of the outrage were made by almost every one, the writer of this being among the number. Messrs, Geo. Humphrey, sen., Dr. W. Q. Stewart, at present residents of this city, Geo. Humphrey, jr.,r present Deputy Sher iff of Linn comity, Hon. Jas. II. Tur ner, now practicing law at Pendleton, Wmatilla county, and scores of other . respeolablo and reliable persons wore' JO our company while crossing the plains,' all of whom will doubtless verify the statements herein made. Those who are not yet satisfied that die Bulletin') "Iowa Union Man" is an unmitigated liar are rospeot ftlly referred to the porsons, above Darned. But surely nothing more is needed to nail the wretch to the cat-hoad of publics opinion and to demonstrate be yond a doubt that he is a brazon liar. The facts are, the Bulletin in its blind zoal to injure our business as publisher of a paper,' and to impair our party record, has either invented this Ho or suborned some irresponsi ble vagabond to porform the dirty work for it j but in its eagernoss to make put a case it has discharged a boomerang which has recoiled upon itself.. One would suppose that tho editor of that paper would have had more souse than .to have, permitted himself to be caught in so ludicrous and glaring a fraud ; but men who are continually striking right and left, like a blind snake in dog-days, con not fail to bo-caught in their own toils occasionally. The Jiulletin will now cithor pro duce Its correspondent's namo or aland branded before the whole State as the forger of a most brazen lie, An Iowa newspaper correspondent tells of a County Clerk, in a rural town, who had a pet oalf which he was training up in the way of an ox. The calf walked around very peacea bly undor one ond of the yoke while Mr. Clerk held up' the othor ond, but in an unfortunato raojneut the Clerk conceived the idea to put his own neck iulo the yoke, to let the oalf see how it would seem to work with a partner; this frightened mister oalf, and elevating his tail and voice, he struck a "dead run'' for tho villago, and Mr. Clerk wont along, with his head down and Lis plug bat iu his hand, straining every norve to keep tip, and erying at the top of his voice : "Hero we oome, blast our fool souls, hoad us, everybody 1" Up in Guthrie county, Iowa, the Bard hearted parent enlored tho par lor where the daughter was having a ' comfortablo time with her lover. Tho parent insisted on stayiug there, Tho plucky lover gathered tho old ohap up and shoved him out side the door.. The now infuriated parent sued him before a Justioe for eject ing him from a room in his own house. And the wise Justice, to whom be all honor, ruled as follows:. "It appears that this young feller was courtiu' plaintiff's gal in plaintiff's parlor, and that plaintiff intruded and was put out by defendant.' Courting is a necessi ty and must not be interrupted. Therefore tho laws of Iowa will hold Ijiat a parent has no legal right in a room where courting is afoot, and so defendant is discharged and plaintiff must pay costs." Cam Schukz has removed from Missouri to Illinois, and it is thought hs may ba tho next United States Senator. (IIUMB MSWS. Granges are being raipldly formed throughout New Hampshire. , . Michigan has seventy-eight or ganized Granges, and more in pros pect. Vermont leads the New England States in the number of Granges having 28. s Twenty-four Granges, have been organized in Delaware connty, Indi' ana, since March, Over 40 members were present "at the meeting of Lebanon Grange last Saturday evening. A new Grange, the third in Mary-' land, was organized at Eising Sun, Cecil County, October 3di The twenty-seventh Grange in Tay lor County, Iowa, was organized in Mormon-town on the 2d ult. ' The Patrons of Husbandry have now granges in every State except Maine, Connecticut and Ebode Is land. ' . There is an openipg for an organi- zalion of Granges, we should judge, in Maine, from the railroad war going on there. Mr. Mercer will issue the first numbor of the Oregoji Granger next Thursday. It is to be printed in the Register office. The next meeting of the Wiscon sin Grange of the Patrons of Husban dry will be held at Fond du Lac, Wis., on the Second Tuesday in Jan uary. The farmers of Champaign county; Illinois, are shipping grain on the co operative plan. In a shipment of nineteen car-loads at one time they j savea aaout fjouu. , . The California, State Grange of the Matrons of Husbandry appointed a committee to submit a petition to Congress asking for grants of land to the State for a State system of irri gation. A young Granger in Pennsvlvania tapped two hundred apple trees for outer, and aftor inquiring of a neigh bor why it did'nt run, spent his in come for two weeks bribing his hired men not to tell it. The Patrons of Husbandry in Mar shall County, 111., declare by resolu tion that no man, without good mor al character, or who is entangled with political, job, or ring alliance, need expect their vote or cqunte- nanco. . If it be asked what tho Patrons of .Husbandry have already accomplish ed, lot it ue told to their credit that the progress of their movement has led to a reduotiou of the passenser tn,.;ir u.. til' ... .. . . uu iuh Illinois railroads from five to three cents a mile. The Grangers have determined to deal direct with flourorB and expor ters of grain, and dispense with what they call "middlemen." This will net affect the first port of minstrel entertainments wherein the middle man is an important actor. Dudley W. Adams, Master of the National Grange, thinks it would be impossible for the Grange to be come a political party, op the ques tion of protection would divide thom at once. Nothing could be more un wise than the formation of a political party, seeking to unite one class in opposition to others. Tho Grangers, or Patrons of Hus bandry, have adopted as a rule of their Ordor never to go to low, and to have nil disputes settled by arbi tration. Th.e case comes on without delay, and, each man tolling his sto ry, a jury of picked neighbors and mutual friends deoido what is right. It is stated that the Bharpers are going for the farmers ot Illinois, The Bwindlors travol through the country with snmplos of goods, rep resenting thomselvos to be runners or agents for wholesale Grangers' stores in Chicago. Thoy display their samples, offer their goods at ex ceedingly low prices, and lake the farmers' note for the amount, paya ble in sixty days. Tho goods never get around, mid the hotos are traded off to innocont third parties, and while the farmer is congratulating himself upon not buying of mid dlemen, and wondering why the goods don't como, the nolo turns up. Hie Convention of Exeoutive Com' niittoes of State Granges of the Pat rons of Husbandry, representing tho States of the Mississippi Valley, which met at Keokuk Iowa, adopted the fol lowing: . "WintMAs, We rognrd complete ond nccurato agricultural statistics as the foundation of our control of the business of agrioulturo, by which we may obtain a suitable and just reward for our lobors nnd allow the law of supply and domond to operate froely in the regulation of prices to theben- efit both of producers and consum ers: therefore be it "Resolved, That we use our"bost ef forts to establish or cause to be estab lished in each and every State in our Union a system of agricultural statis tics by which we can got exact infor mation of the average of the princi pal crops, the amount of live stock in the oouutry, the quantity of produco, and the number of animals of each kind for market." Three Granges have been organ ized in Ueuton county and the Depu ty for that county says that he will eoon organize one near Greene 15. Smith's, and perhnjis another further 'south. Mr. Smith says that one hundrod farmers in his locality .stand ready tojoin tho ordor a&toou as or ganised. , . .. OKAIN DEFICIENCY IN jJUKOPK. .. We condense the following inter esting statement of- the soarcoof the grain supply of Europe and tho con dition of tho market for the current year, , from the Chicago Mercantile Journal. The best authorities esti mate that England will require 92, 000,000 bushels, while Franoe, whioh has heretofore produccd a surplus, will require 82,000,000 bushels.

The tone of the leading journals of Now York -is unanimous on the Vir ginals case. The.7'i!8 says that the victims were not amenable to Spanish laws, sinco they were captured on the high seas, and if Spain does not mnke suitable reparation nothing is left for our Government but to de clare war. The Tribune thinks that now or never is the time for ' prompt uuu uecisive oction iy our uovern mont on Cuban matters, We must have omple reparation from Siwin or proceed to take it. The Herald says it is a crime which exhausts the pa tience of the civiliztd world, and our Government must vindicate the na tional honor.

Owing to the statement contained in a letter from Iiavnna that on the night of the 7th inst., when the news of the capture of the Virginius reached Santiago, bpamsh volunteers, 111 fiendish exul tation over tho triumph, visited the widows of Masons shot m llMiS, and brutally outraged tho helpless wo men; that in tie struggle four were killed and seven have since died, and several were in such a dangerous con dition that they cannot possibly re cover, a petition is being circulated in this city ond is being signed general ly by Masters of Masonic lodges .in Now York, and Past Masters of lodg es, calling a session of the Grand Lodge of the State, to take such ac tion as may bo necessary. The following account of events at Santiago de Cuba was received at Ha vana on the morning of the 7th inst. : Thirty-seven of the crew of the Vir ginius were brought on shore and taken to prison, to remain there until their execution, which was ordered for that afternoon.

It seems as if they would never finish. At last the troops filed pasta long row of corpses. Then the dead-cart was hurried uo and loaded indiscriminately with the mangled remains. Tho American Con sul has done all that could have been done; indeed it was threatened that his exchanffcr would be with- drawn.for his exertions on behalf of the prisoners . In an interview with Gen.
