Am I lazy or erszy ? Am I blind or lame? True. I’m net so supple, nor yet so awful stout. But charity ain’t no favor if one can live without.

No hope remains for thought bnt in the gra New York Times. Missouri’s interest in this agitation has been somewhat peculiar, and has been manifested in an entirely different manner from that that has characterized the discussion of the same subject in Illinois an Iowa. As everybody knows, the impulse to the movement is a de sire to secure cheaper transportation facilities. This is experienced alike in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and all the grain- producing States that are far removed from the seaboard. While in Boston and New York and Philadelphia corn is a commodity that always com mands high rates and a ready market, in the | States I have named it is sold for a pittance, if by begging it fiods a sale at all, or is burned for fuel, or lies scattered and wasted upon the ground irom which it was coaxed after much weary labor. The cause of this wide differ ence in price at the place of production and at the place of consumption is the cost of getting it to the consumer. It takes two bushels of Missouri corn—and last winter it took four—to get one to market. Under these circumstances corn cannot be profitably raised and as it is the crop for which the great prairies and the wide lowlands of the West are best adapted, the occupation of the Western farmer is practically gone. It thus comes as a dire necessity to the producer that he must have relief or be forced to beg gary. THE FARMERS' ORGANIZATIONS. To procure this relief, the farmers in nearly every Western aud Southern State have com pleted a compact and wieidy organization, known as the Patrons of Husbandry, whose local chapters are called ‘ Granges.’ This so ciety has spread like wildfire, until now its membership will number millions. The first grange was instituted in Missouri less than nine months ago, and to-day there are in its bounds not less than two hundred. These are located in every agricultural county in the State, while some counties have as high as twenty and thirty. Within a fortnight, it is understood, although it has not been publicly announced, a State Convention will be held at Knob Nosier, in Johnson county. Although the societies carry on their deliber ations with closed doors, very little opposi tion is manifested toward them, and what little there is comes from a few conservative and independently-acting individuals. The editor ‘outen of i country newspapers, without an exception, favor the movement. The alacrity with which the organizations have been formed in this State is, doubtless, owing to the fact that in their fiist encounter with the railroads the farmers tailed. This was in an attempt last winter to induce the Legislature to pass a pro rata freight and passenger railroad tariff bill similar to the one passed by the Illinois Legislature, and as to the constitutional ity of which the Supreme Court that State recently decided adversely. This bill, it may be remembered, provided that all railroads within the State should charge the same rate for local traffic per mile as for through traffic, and that this rate should not be in excess ot the rate charged lor through traffic prior to the passage of the bill Thus it was hoped to prevent the railroad compa nies from discriminating against the home farmers in favor of long-distance shippers. Although the bill was vigorously pressed, and the sentiment in favor of it was augmented by a deep-seated feeling against several local lines in the State, it failed to become a law. It passed the House by an easy majority, but in the Senate was overwhelmingly defeated, ow ing to the protest of the merchants and man ufacturers of St. Louis, who contended, with every show of reason, that if such a law was passed it would destroy their trade with all localities beyond the boundaries of the State, and prevent them from making special rates with the roads necessary to enable them to compete with the jobbers and manufacturers of other cities. Beyond this no action has been taken, save in the formation of the granges to which I have alluded, which work has been so quietly carried on that none save vacces made ou consignments. m C.

We deem it our duty, however, as *V public journalist, that we should denounce in | emphatic terms, the dastardly and brutal ef- ; fort made by a correspondent ol the Atlanta Herald who signs himself ‘'Opelika,” to | blast, by a pu^ly sensational article, full cf untruths and misstatements, the leputation of a young and innocent female. We have read i this vile, slanderous article with sorrow and : regret, and are greatly surprised that a cor- i respondence of so repulsive a character , should have been permitted to disgrace the i columns of a Southern news journal. ■ It is impossible that a communication so i utterly indecent and untruthful could have j eminated from a respectable squrce, nor can I we believe its author resides in Opelika, ; where the young lady to whom allusion is ; made is well known and bears a character be- j yond the shadow of reproach. The slandered I female is a neighbor, a friend and a frequent : inmate of our own house, and v»e rejoice that we can conscientiously bear testimony, in i spite of her attempted defatners to our cou- j \iction of her purity and innocence. From observation and a knowledge of j her general character, as well as from other circumstances, we know her virtue is un soiled, grossly, brutally aud inhumanly slan dered aud persecuted though she be, in the midst ol a civilized and Christian community. Iu the fiery ordeal through which she is now passing the panoply of innocence is her shield, and the foul breath of calumny can neither estrange from her, her friend*, or tar- iii*b the purity of her fair flame; noi'her is it possible that, her cb meter can suffer in the mma iu a different direction than that I c j which would lead them to a contest with the j j railroads. I am confident that this feeling is i j shared by tha farmers, and that, while they j J have been quick to fall into line as grangers, j they are lciumlAg^||^H|j^J leans rt, as iu the case ot their brethren iu other J.

A corpse said to be his, and so attested by several per sons, was tf.ken to that city and there buried. By a letter from Pueito Principe, which we publish elsewhere, and which is dated ou the 10th inst., our readers will find that he was alive and doing well on tha 8th. On the pre vious day he had gained an important victory over the Spaniards, who left eighty-seven dead upon the field. In connection with this reported death of Gen. Agramonte it is noteworthy that although a mail steamer left Nuevitas for Havana on the 14th inst., none of the persons in this city who receive regu lar correspondence from Puerto Principe have any letters dated subsequently to the reported death of the Cuban patriot' Of the new Bishop of Massachusetts, a New York letter of Saturday says: “It is liot known yet whether liev. Dr. Paddock will ac cept the Massachusetts Bishopric. The doc tor says he desires time to consider the matter. This morning he had an interview with the committee appointed to notify him of his election, and these gentlemen will tarry with him until Monday, by which time he will probably have made up his mind.
