What is the use of heapin’ on me a pauper’s shame ?
Am I lazy or erszy ? Am I blind or lame?
True. I’m net so supple, nor yet so awful stout.

A poor old woman was scrubbin’ the floor;
She rose to her feet in great surprise,
And looked, quite startled, into my eyes;
I saw the whole of her trouble’s trace
In the lines, that marred her dear old face;

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.

Mr. Hooper, now undergoing Judicial
; ligation is concerned, it is not proper, in our
: opinion, that we should offer any comments.
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,

The Spanish authorities in Havana have
officially asserted that the Cuban General Ig
nacio Agrnmonte was killed in the action ou
the 11th inst., at a place about twelve leagues
southward of Puerto I’rincipe. 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. At pr»s-
ent the doctor is very comfortably situated as
rector of one of the wealthiest and most pros
perous parishes in Brooklyn; with a salary
