There is already a little dissension
among the grangers. Some of “the
embattled farmers!’ -want to ■ know
what goes with all the money wliieii
is paid into life- grange treas

granges, it is urged, in existence, with
an average of fifty members each, and
§2.500,000, it is estimated, have been
paid in initiation fees and dues.—
® ‘What has become of all this cash?
Who Is enriching himself by his grau-

a : point upon which we can -give any
information. Perhaps the estimates
are high; and possibly some of the

bmises; a shake of the hands and it

clanger in this sort of fighting as in
the other, except to outsiders and by
standers. We know of a man who
has carried a pistol n : ne years steadily
and hasn’t k ; lled a single person yet.
He still carries it hoping doubtless
that if fate smiles npori him, he will
get- his man yet. He had a fight the
other day. That is, a man knocked
him down. He jumped up, lifted his
patient pistol and fired. The ball
broke the knee of an inoffensive dray
horse, and he was just getting it down
fine for a second shot when he was in
vited off. He is still sealed to his
little weapon though, and if there is
anything in presevcrancc, will bore
somebody yet if tbe Li rd lets him live,
long enough.
Who Shall Represent Usf
As the election for Congressman
for this district comes off in Novem
ber. it is rime the people were easting
about for a proper person to represent
them / This county has always been
'overlooked in.selecting candidates for
any office of importance, althongli if
is one of the most- important in-the,
State, and we have men-fully up to
the standard and inferior to none.--
In the next Democratic nominating
convention we deem it lint a . matter
of justice to give Houston the candi
date she may desire: It is not neces
sary to argue the question more, fully.
Let onr people insist on it, and - ask
the ambitions aspirants in the north
ern part of the district to refrain one
time from requiring ns to do the hard:
est part of the fighting while they reap
the reward and honors of the strug-
gle. ' / - -
We conld name several men emi
nently fitted to-grace a'seat in the
National Legislature, arid none who
could make a. better representative
than Hon. G. C. Duncan; of Perry.
He did yoeman service in the dark
days of sixty-eight; .and did-more to
reUeye the State of the odious 'Bui-'
look administration than Ben Hill; or
probably aiy -other one man iu its
bounds.
Wc want to see tbe people of the
district waking up as the dAy ap
proaches. If all. will do their duty
we Ciin reverse the result of the elec
tion in 1872, and add another trne
man to our delegation in Washing

The Olton-Tux Refunding B.ll.
The bill reported to the Honse to
refund the cotton tax was agreed npori
at a recent caucus of Representatives
from the cotton States. It. provides
for a commission of three persons to
be appointed by the President and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate, to adjudicate the cases which
may be presented.
The tax moneys are to be refunded
to the parties who actually sustained
the burden of tax; or their legal rep
resentatives. The judgement, or
award, is to be based oa the establish
ed principles of equity as held in the
highest courts of chancery in this
country m like eases. Bonds of §500
and 31.000 are to be issued, payable
at the end of forty years in gold, from
the date of the. judgement, bearing
interest at the rate of iVper cent, per
annum, and to be called cotton bonds, i
