The Falls City Journal says the
word "Granger" is "meaningless."
There is where the Journal man and
Noah Webster differ. The latter
gentleman pays a Granger is "A house
for storing grain ; a granary ; a barn ;
also, a farm, with its stables
and other buildings." Granger, ac
cording to the same authority, is "A
farm-steward or bailiff." The owner
of a farm may be his own steward,
superintendent or bailiff; hence a
farmer is a Granger. But future
editions of s tan dared lexicons will
further define the meaning of the
word "Granger," as a member of the
order of Patrons of the Husbandry.

Basts of Membership, &e.
A reporter for the St. Loui3 Globe
gives an interesting account of Inter
views he had with leading members
of the National Grange which was in
session at St. Louis last week. The
reporter asked Dudley W. Adams,
Grand Master of the National Grange,
if the question of open organization
was likely to come up during this
convention of the National Grange.
He said that it might possibly come
up for argumeut, but he did not think
there was any probability that the or
der was ready to throw off the veil of
secrecy. In secrecy consisted the great
charm and attraction of the organiza
tion. It had been one great reason of
its success ; why, he was hardly able
to say. He had not heard one person
speak In favor of open organization.
When asked how the Patrons could
become influential in politics under
their present rules, he said that they
were not a political order, and did not
expect to
PARTICIPATE IS POLITICS
in an organic way. They were united
for other purposes. He told what they
had accomplished in Iowa by what
might be culled moral means, that is
the indirect and personal influence of
the order on conventions, and the
Legislature, the last 5ody being pledg
ed to grant them such easement as
they wanted iu the matter of railroad
oppression.
BASIS OF MEMBERSHIP.
Mr. Adams seemed to think that a
question of greater perplexity was
likely to arise respecting the basis of
admission to rhe Order, which is at
present found in article 5 of the con
stitution, which reads as follows:
Any person Interested in agricultu
ral pursuits, of the age of sixteen years
(female), and eighteen years (male),
duly proposed, elected and complying
with the rules and regulations of the
Order, is entitled to membership and
the benefit of the degrees taken. Ev
ery application must be accompanied
by the fee of membership. If rejected
the money will be refunded. Appli
cations must be certified by members
and ballolted forat a subsequent meet
ing. The trouble is in the proper inter-?
(iicustiuu vii wig nuiua iun.i.-ivu ...
agricultural pursuit," many persons
being interested in agricultural par
suits who are not farmers. In the
West nearly all the Patrons are direct
ly Interested In the tilling: of the soil,
except in the cities, towns and -villages.
The Chicago Grange was form
ed some time ago by Kelley, and its
membership is not perfectly satlfae-
tory to the rural granges. The granges
in St. Louis & Cincinnati are made in
a similar manner. Many editors of
village papers in Iowa are said to be
Patrons. In the Eastern States there
are few subordinate granges that have
not in them some
WHO ARE NOT AGRICULTISTS
in the strict sense of the term. This
Is one of the great problems to be
solved. Mr. Adams says that the words
of the constitution cannot be changed
except by consent of the State Gran
ges, and that all that the National
Grange can do in the premises is to
properly interpret the words quoted
above.
The two gentlemen most prominent
as the orieinators of the Patrons of
Husbandry, Mr. Wm. Saunders and
O. H. Kelly, are thus described :
WM. SAUNDERS.
The most prominent raan in the or
ganization is William Saunders, who
is sometimes spoken of as the origina
tor of the Patrons of Husbandry.
This is a mistake, and no one would
more readily step forward to say that,
while he claimed to be its founder, its
originator he was not. The idea of a
secret society among the agricultural
classes was broached by several men,
the most prominet of whom is O. H.
Kelly, now Secretary of the National
Grange. But, as finally carried out in
the organization of the order, the idea
belongs to Mr. Saunders. Mr. Saun
ders is a Scotchman, fifty years of age,
which show their marks in a white
chin beard, whose rather long, spiral
hairs remind one of asparagus grass.
His face is pleasant, lit up by a blue
eye which seems to look afar off, but
which impresses one as belonging to
a man of great seriousness and ear
nestness of character. He was born
in Scotland, and educated for the min
isrry in a Scotch University, but
abandoned it for the profession of land
scape gardening, in which he accu
mulated considerable property in this
country before the war scattered it to
the winds, when he took the position
of superintendent of gardens and
grounds in the Department of Agri
culture. Here he developed the ideas
of matuaifinstruction, assistance and
co-operation, which find expression in
the articles of the order, and from
then till now his labors are a matter
of history.
O. H. KELLY,
the Secretary, is a Minnesota farmer,
a man of the black bearded, robust,
energetic type, with piercing black
eyes, of intelligence and will. For
nearly twenty-one years Mr. Kelly
farmed near Lake Itaska, holding no
political office, except that of Justice
of the Peace, to which he was eleeted
three times in succession. Then he
happened to make a trip through the
South, under theappointraentof Pres
ident Johnson, as Commissioner ef the
Department of Agriculture, to report
on the agricultural and mineral re
sources of the South. It was theyear
after the war. and his passage through
perils and dangers where others fell,
by means of his masonic connections,
suggested to him that secret societies
would be a good thing for the agricul
tural classes, not only in the South
but in all other portions of the coun
try." He studied over it for a year be
fore he laid his project before Messrs.
Saunders, Trumbull, J. R. Thomp
son. Auson Bartlett, Ireland and
Grosh. who werechiefly instrumental
in organizing the Grange which-is the
nucleus of the society, correapona-
ence was neia wuu Ka'b s.
rists in all parts of the country. Pro-,
fessionally agricultural papers forbore
from publishing any facts connected
with the Patrons of Husbandry until
the Order was too strong to be longer
ignored. Mr. Kelly expressed the
opinion that Minnesota contains a
larger number of Grangers than any
other State, although a greater num
ber of charters have been granted to
Iowa.

THE TRUNK R. R.
On last Saturday we interviewed
Dr. Converse at his office in Lincoln.
In answer to our query as to when he
proposed commencing work on the
Trunk R. It., he said that it would
not pay him to begin until about the
1st of May, but that by that time he
expected to have everything in readi
ness. He is now negotiating for 4000
tons of Iron, 1500 to be delivered in
June, 1500 in July and 1000 in August.
The distance from Nebraska City to
Brownville, or to the proposed con
nection with the B. Ft. K. & P.R.R..
is IS miles, or 20, counting switches,
etc., The numberof miles toconnect
Brownville-withTecumseh is 27, or SO
miles of iron. Counting 80 tons of
iron to the mile, the 4000 tons ordered
will complete both high ways to the
points indicated. He expects to close
his Iron contract this week, and as
sured us that he entertains no doubt
as to the completion of the Trunk R.
R. to this city by the 1st of Septem
ber, in time to move this year's crops.
THE GOVERNOR'S STAFF.
Three years ago the State Legisla
ture, ignorant, or Innocent of the
existence of a Federal law re
quiring the Governor of each State
or Territory to appoint an Adju
tant General and other staff officers,
abolished the office of Adjutant Gen
eral. Since then the existence of such
law was made manifest, and In obedi
ence therewith Gov. Furnas has se
lected his Staff, which we herewith
present. We regret not having the
law at hand, but as there is no U. S.
Statutes in this city we are denied the
privilege. In American State Papers,
vol. 4, however, we find the object of
said law set forth as follows : The Ad
" the record of
the distribution of arffi and supplies
so that the State should not lose them;
also all military service? rendered by
State troops, so that the Government
should not be swindled by trumped
up accounts for such supplies and ser
vices, as accounts thereforare required
to be made by the Adjutant General
of State to "the Adjutant General of
the U. S- A., and the latter to the
War Department.
Gov. Furnas received his first title
as Colonel from hi3 appointment by
Acting-Governor J. Sterling Morton
on his Military Staff, and Gen. John
M. Thayer's, first military commission
as Colonel was similarly obtained.
The full staff has never been pub
lished, and we are indebted to John
H. Alford, Esq., the Governor's pri
vate secretary, for the list as herewith
published :

GRANGE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT.
In looking over a Georgia paper the
other day our eyes fell upon the fol
lowing dispatch which we reproduce:
"Washington, Jan. 20. It is ru
mored that Col. Rob't W. Furnas,
present Governor of Nebraska, a man
who has done and is doing much for
the agricultural interests of the west,
will be the farmers' candidate for
President of the United States in 1S76.
Judge William Schly, of Georgia, is
named for Vice President. Gov. Fur
nas is at. enthusiastic agriculturist and
devei4-to farmers' interests."
SUBSIDING.
The columns being cramped for
room this week we reluctantly close,
but will probably spread ouraelf next
week.
The banditti who robbed the stage
and passengers near Hot Springs, Ar
kansas, about two weekB ago, and
stopped and robbed the train and pas
sengers near Gad's Hill, Mo., on the
31st ult., are said to be a McCoy, the
two Younger brothers and probably
the James brothers. The gang Is led
by a desperado named Greenwood.
"Penick's men" will remember that
they used to hear occasionally of the
Youngers In the days of bushwhek
ing, in Jackson county.
Every person who has never met a
commercial tourtist, .with his little
satchel, will appreciate the following ;
"The drummers came down like wol
ves on the fold, their toes they were
frosted, their noses alL cold. TiuflrJ
weather-peeled bugles soon shown
through the town, they gobbled the
money and salted it down, then took
a feworders and lit out of here, with
their heads full of business and skins
full of beer."
Washington, February 7. The
sub-committee recently appointed by
the committee on Pensions to consid

SENATOR HARVEY,
Recently elected from the State of
Kansas, is briefly described by a friend
asaVirgiuian by birth; spent most
of his lifri in Adams county. 111., up
to 1857, when he came to Kansas and
engaged in farming. He entered the
army when the rebellion broke out,
served a9 captain of the Tenth Kan
sas Infantry, after the war was elected
to the State Senate, and in 18GS was
elected Governor of Kansas by the
Republicans, and re-olected In 1S70.
He is a practical farmer, steadfast Re
publican and an earnest frien&of.all
genuine reform measures. His person
al character is above reproach. No
stain of corruption has ever attached
to him, and his election is regarded as
a triumph of honesty and"fairness in
Kansas politics.

-fATROJfS AND TEMPERANCE.
Central Grange, of Doniphan Co.,
Kas., passed the following:
WnERBAS, We, as Grangers and
citizens, knowing full well the evila
of intemperance, and that its pernici-
our influence Is felt In every commu
nity of our common country, and that
intemperance is only evil and evil con
tinually, therefore, be it
Resolved, That our Representatives
be and are nerehy instructed to use
their influence In favor of a bill that
will mitigate and modify this great
evil ; that as Grangers, we are a unit
in a stern, persistent and unyielding
opposition to dram and tippling shops
ABIXiXi "WHICH OUGHT TO BECOME
A LAW.
The House Committee on Indian
Affairs has agreed to report a bill the
main features of which makes it a
p nal offense to cheat or defraud an
Indian, or to fraudulantly obtain his
signature or mark to a receipt for
monev which has not- been fully ex
plained to him. The bill generally
j has the effect of protecting Indians
from swindling agents, contractors,
etc., who havejheretofore grown rich
at their expense.
SENSIBLE PATKOXS.
The State Journal says that at a
meeting of the Executive Committee
of the Patrons of Husbandry was re
cently held in the city of Lincoln the
following resolution was unanimous
ly adopted :
Believing that the prosperity of the
farming community is intimately
connected with, and to a very great
extent, dependent upon the general
prosperity of every branch of legiti
mate business, and disclaiming all
hostility to, or war upon capital, or
industry of any kind. Therefore,
Resolved, By the Executive Com
of the State Grange of Nebraska, that
we advise all members of our order.
so far as can be done without detri
ment to themselves to patronize and
encourage home enterprise of every
kind and deal with local merchants,
artisans, manufacturers and mechan
ics.
We can heartily endorse such move
ments as the above resolution.
GRANGE ITEMS.
There are 1,600 subordinate Granges
in the State of Missouri.
The National Grange has ordered
its constitution and by-laws to be
printed in languages suitable to for
eign born citizens of the United States
A petition from the Patrons of Can
ada was presented in the U. S. Nation
a! uranee. for a dispensation to re
ceive the sixth and seventh degrees
and to establish a Dominion Grange.
The next meeting of the National
Grange will be in Charleston, South
Carolina, by solicitation of the cotton
States.
Thirtv-two States and two Territor
ies were represented in the National
Grange which met at St. Louis on the
6th inst.
There are ten Granges of Patrons In
Canada.
About the time Caleb Cushing wrote
his fawning letter to Jefferson Davis,
Zach Chandler wrote a note to W. A.
Bacon of Michigan. The ring of the
metal sounds better to us than that of
Cushing's. It does one good to be re

lowing is Chandler's letter:

My Dear Sir: The great agony is
nearly over, and if no untoward event
happns to Mr. Lincoln before the 4th
of Maroh, the Union issaved. Never
was it in greater peril than during the
past two months. In the hands of
traitors and imbeciles, in all its
branches, is it not strange that our
old siiip has weathered the storm? but
it has. and now there will be no com
promising with traitors. I have but
two arguments to offer them, hemp
and lead, and am willing to let them
select. Truly Yours,

City Revelations ot Be-
Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2d, '74.
The following portion of Major
Caffrey's last communication was
crowded out for- want of room. We
herewith present it. En.
On Friday last we accepted an invitation-to
visit
NEBRASKA CITY
I where we remained until Saturday
evening. Saturday forenoon we visit
ed the court house, court being in ses
sion, and was somewhat surprised on
hearing the following resolutions read,
and ordered spread upon the court
docket. We want every reader of the
Advertiser to peruse them and de
termine for him or herself whether or
not we are progressing or retrograding,
religiously speaking. Without ex
pressing any opinion on the subject,
we indulge in the belief that Nebras
ka monopolises the credit or discredit
attaching, as we believe on no other
court record iu the U. S. is spread such
an essay on the future state. As soou
as we heard it read we took a trans
cript and herewith reproduce it:
Whereas, TheHou.Edward Arch
bold, late of the Otoe County Bar,
departed this life on Monday, theliOth
day of December, 1873, at 8 o'clock,
a. ra., of said day, in the sixty-ninth
vear of his aee. at Nebraska City, Neb.
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Otoe County Bar, recognize In the
departure of our friend and brother,
Edward Archbold, the fact that we
have lost the companionship of a ripe
scholar, a profound and logical think
er, a wise counselor, a sound lawyer
and a good man ; that he has gone to
the land to us unknown, to enter, we
trust, upon a career of usefulness and
intellectual progress, unfettered by
the clay tenement which was but the
temporary abode of a mind capable of
almost infinite results, so that our loss
is his eternal gain.
Resolved, That we deeply sympa
thize with the family and relatives of
our deceased brother. In their great
and irreparrable los3, but while re
gretting that his career is ended, they
can fiud consolation and feel pride in
the record he has left behind him of a
life well spent in the labors of the pro
fession. The high position he occupi
ed at this bar and tbe public confid
ence and respect which he secured are
signal and animating proof to those of
us who come after him that thorough
legal investigation, severe application
to business and blameless purity and
virtue are sure of their reward and
worthy of the emulation of all.
It has been said that a man's death
should not be regarded Q3 an occasion
to misrepresent him, and we, as law
yers, believe it is good sense. The in
timate friends of the Judge know him
to have been a careful reader of Buckle,
Herbert, Spencer, August Corapte,
and other philosophers of thatschool,
and unless it was in his last hours, he
seems to have been a believer In that
system of religion, and passed of with
a firm belief that "there is no death,
but a change," that it is simply trans
planting from one state of existence
to another, and that no such thing as
"rest" is known In the great universe
of mind.
Filling an important mission here
where he was universally respected
for his learning and Bterling honesty
of purpose, lie did not fear to take up
in another state what he had accom
plished here, as a starting point, and
while his "change" is greatly mourn
ed and regretted by family and friends
as tbe resolutions tate, it is evidently
his eternal gain. From a human stand
poiut we sorrowfully remark "peace
to his ashes," but from what seems to
have been his opinion in the prem
ises, we should rejoice at his going.
Resoled, That the above resolutions
bo spread upon the records of the
Court, and a certified copy sent to the
family of the deceased.

Editor Nebraska- Advertiser.
Amonir some of the- disagreeable
things uhfch a Granger of Demoorat
lc proclivities has to listen to when
he meets a new Granger is the con
versation which Church Howe and
Tom Majors is said to have with their
Republican friends who are accustom
ed to run that party.
Those two Grangers were taken to
account for deserting their party, and
e u :,i on.i assistance they were
rendering the oposition paper to the
detriment of the Advertiser. They
replied that they were Republicans,
that Republican Grangers were large
ly in the majority in the county and
thev could and did control the Grange,
and that they would in the end bring
them all to vote the regular ticket of
the Republican party. Now if this is
a correct report, then those men are
either deceiving the mass of Grangers
in this county, or their party friends
in Brownville. For one-I do not pro
pose to be deceived. I have joined
the Grange in good faith, to reform
all abuses and fight corruption in
whRtevershano it mav appear and if
the above is a specimen of their polit
ical duplicity it will then be well to
do some training in our own ranks if
rwvnsinn reouires it. Good faith de
mands an open hand in which case
there can be no misunderstanding one
another. Will Bros. Howe and Ma

CDOCTAWS is council
A dispatch from Caddo, I. T. of Feb.
6th, says the Choctaw ludian Council
has just adjourned after a session of
three weeks; and sums up the result
of their deliberations as follows:
They passed resolutions protesting
against a territorial government and
the allotment of their lands iu seve
ralty : protesting against the Chicka
saw survey and allotment, and refused
to entertain the proposition to adopt
the negroes residing among them.
They appointed a commission of
three to go to Washington to effect a
settlement of the boundary line be
tween Arkansas and the Choctaw na
tion, and to personally urge congress
not to pass a territorial bill. They re
pudiated the Cochrane contract under
which seventy-five thousand dollars
have already been advanced.
This action does not reflect the sen
timent of the intelligent portion of the
nation. A majority of the legislature
is composed of full blood Indians from
the mountain districts, with the gov
ernor at their head, who publicly stat
ed that if he had his way he would
hang every white man in the nation,
and if he could separate the little
white blood In himself he would open
his veins and let it nut.
The civilized Indians of this terri
tory do not want to be transferred to
the war department, but they do want
a territorial government with courts
of justice and delegates in congress to
speak for them. They do not need
government agents, but they want
citizenship and equal rights with all.
