grangers in council!
The Grangers can beat any set of
people in the world in getting up a
good old Southern jollification, where
formality is entirely dispensed with
and each man, woman and child lend
their might to the enjoyment of the
occasion. Such was the case at Rosnev
Chapel yesterday, where a large crowd
of Grangers and others, among them
quite a number of citizens of
Augusta, had assembled agreeably to
an invitation from the Grangers of
Richmond county, to hear some distin
guished orators, and indulge in an old
time barbecue, which was really very
fine. About llo’clcck, after some prelim
inaries, Dr. Griffin announced the first
speaker,
GENERAL A. H. COLQUITT.
We cannot, for want of space, give
the remarks of any of the speakers in
full, and therefore a short synopsis we
are sorry to say, is all we furnish. Gen.
Colquitt said he was a true advocate
of economy, from ladies as well as
as from the men, and that only would
suffice to relieve the present deplorable
condition of our farmers, which, with
the assistance of the Patrons of Hus
bandry, and direct trade would, if pur
sued, make the farmers of the South
independent in a few years. It was a
humiliating spectacle to see a farmer,
whiningly asking credit and assistance
just after the crop harvest, and by the
15th of January, from his merchant.
He showed how such could be avoided
in eloquent terms, and with convincing
proofs. Next he touched on di
rect trade. He said it had been
the aim of others, years ago, to
establish direct trade, but for
want of concert and inaction they
failed. Conventions would be and were
held at Galveston, Mobile, New Or
leans, Charleston, Augusta, and many
other places, by advocates of the di-
rect trade, but they failed, and why ?
The day had not come. They did not
have the assistance of this powerful
army of Grangers, and co-operation
was wanting. What is direct trade?
It is to bring the producer and buyer
in contact with one another without
the interference of a third party.
Some merchants are not in ac
cord with us, because they know
nothing of our aims, and they fail to
look into it It is the very first princi
ples of prosperity. Merchats say we
cannot do what we propose, that New
York has the money to command trade,
while we are poor, but we have and
can get all the money we want. The
most legitimate channel of trade is the
direct channel. Charleston used to do
as much of this business as all the
New England States put together. It
must be re-established with our South
ern ports. Georgia has 40,000; Ala
bama, 40,000; Mississippi, 50,000, and
Texas, 40,000 Grangers to support this
mavoment now, and all the other States
have in like proportion.
General Colquitt continued for about
an hour and a half to thoroughly dis
cuss the question in an able and elabo
rate manner, and we are sorry we have
not space for his remarks in full.
00L. JACK SMITH,
Master of the State Grange, was next
introduced, and he, for about an hour,
dwelt on the Grangers’ objects and
direct trade, and his arguments were
complete and convincing, as were those
of COL. JONES,
of Burke county, who advanced as re
plete and convincing arguments as we
have heard on the subject. Col. Jones
is thoroughly posted, and we regret we
are unable to give his address.
After Col. Jones’ address dinner was
announced and a large table literally
covered with substantiate and dainties,
invitingly smiled on the hungry crowd.
After fully discussing this question, in
the usual style, the crowd re-as
sembled and after a song by the
ladies who by the way were out
in large numbers splendidly attractive,
and acting as an inspiration causing by
their patronage of the great questions
at issue quite an enthusiasm, After a
song by them
COL. AIKEN,
of Aiken, S. C., was introduced, and a
more logical, elaborate and thoroughly
practical speech we have not heard for
many a day. Alluding to what had
been said about Grangers and Direct
Trade, the speaker said that he
would explain to them what the Gran
gers were and the objects sought to
be attained. What are the Grangers ?
Many have the idea that they are the
co-operatives of the selling man. The
Grange is a social institution, in a few
simple words. The farmers are the
most selfish and miserable class of
men on the earth in their isolation, at
least in the South. The Grange is the
remedy. It makes the farmer take an
opportunity, at least once a month, for
social intercourse. It is an organ for
the matual benefit of its members. It
brings them together,and educates them
in agriculturai lore. It educates the
'•armei and his family, and that’s our our
°»iect. TheGrangers in their intercourse
od toate each other, and sociability is
also ittained, and this, and simply this,
is our ->bject. It is just like holding
steel in uje hand and flint In the other.
Apart tLey amount to nothing;
bring them logether and the influence
is powerful. Tbe isolation so preva
lent among our farmers must be rem
edied, and this th* Grange will do, and
also keep Its members posted and fa
miliar with all the late improvements in
the agricultural department. He was
sorry to say that a vast number of
the farmers could not read or write
their own names, and the Grange
would educate them practically, also
their families,
The speaker also fully dis« U ssed di
rect trade, and conclusively showed its
great advantages, and in petail he tra
versed the agricultural departments
in aU its bearings in a practical style
and if hs advice is followed much good
will result. . . . °
HON. M. C. FULTON
also discussed the questions in a brief
but able manner. After which the
meeting adjourned. Much enthusiasm
was manifested and a great deal of
good will no doubt ensue. The farmers
are now thoroughly aroused to the
subject and the Grangers are continu
ally increasing in large number, and
yesterday’s proceedings will add many
more to the ranks,
FINANCE AND TRADE.
WEEKLY review op the AU
GUSTA MARKETS.
Constitutionalist Office, )
6 o clock P. M., September 10,1875.)
Remarks.
As anticipated trade has a steady and
substantial improvement, and although it
is not as heavy as for the same period last
year, it denotes a healthier state of affairs
than it would if business was heavier. One
to state, is very evident,
ana that is that no shallow or unsound ac
tivity is prevalent, and the business now
done is on a sound and protective basis,
both for the merchant and the consumer,
and it is better to have it so in preference
to a forced activity, which would be bound
to have an early reaction, and that reaction
would not only demoralize business, but
its premature development and forced life
would work the same unstable and unsound
condition of thing's that existed last year,
and merchants are determined this
year not to force trade, but to al
low it to gradually unfold itself
as the necessities of home consumption de
mand, and thus it rests on a solid founda
tion, and whatever Is done can be relied on
as an infallible Index to the future; but to
wiser sages than we must be left to say
what the future will be. But one thing
may be relied on, and that is, that pros
perity which we have not known for a
number of years will undoubtedly be the
fruit of the cautious and safe business
which has inaugurated this promising sea
son. The undertone in business circles sub
stantiates this, and it can be relied on as a
symptom of a healthy situation and a sure
sign of a prosperous future; and here
again would we suggest the continued
economy which has been the prevail
ing mark of this season so far,* and
the present state of things compared
with the past, proves the need of such. In
the West at present everything is hopeful,
save for the late floods, and the principal
reason is, because of that economical line
of policy which has so far characterized us,
and Western merchants are determined to
pursue a safe business, and not force trade,
and of the results they have not the slightest
doubt. The East is perfectly prostrated on
account of its capital being principally in
vested in manufactories, and tney look to
the South and West for help, and are only
kept from despair by the encouraging re
ports from the agricultural States
whither .they hope to gain assistance.
The North feels somewhat the dis
tresses of the East, but are not
in such a bad condition. New
York merchants pursue that safe Hue of
policy inaugurated South and West, and
they have no apprehensions of the future,
as they are determined to let trade work
out its own course and do no haphazard
business. All that now remains to insure a
complete and prosperous future is for mer
chants and consumers to pursue the path
in which they now tread, and they need
have no fear of the consequences.
Nothing has been doing in flnancial cir
cles the past week, and no demand for
money. Exchange was a little active.
The meat niarket has been firm all the
week, and prices remained unchanged until
to-day, when a slight decline took place,
ihe change i»av be accounted for by tne
fact that speculators have had control of
the market lathe West for the past few
days. The Cpciunati Price Current says:
Cincinnati Provision Market.
The market has been somewhat variable
during the week. under the attempted ma
nipulations cl the bulls and bears for the
purpose of paking a basis for the settle
ment of coetracts maturing in August,
more especially for clear rib sides, but since
the close of ~the month the market has as
sumed a stnpnger tone under a better de
mand for slip went. Ihe foreign exports
from the seaboard ports for the week end
ing last Saturday were largely in excess of
tne corresponding week last year, the gain
being chiefly In cut meats, but considerable
in other art cies, with holders generally be
lieving that stooks here are not excessive,
and with fill two months and possibly
three montls to run on consumption of
old stock, tlure is considerable confidence
m values, anl it is evident that if there is to
be anything more than a spasmodic or
temporary define it will be late in the sea
son before it occurs. The high price and
scarcity of fd; hogs is a strong support to
the market, tod the indications from the
country are tiat the corn crop will ripen
late, but it wll be abundant, and with a
scarcity of sock hogs it wifi be only a
natural result that the hogs wifi be kept
back until the; are very fat, and therefore
packing wifi ojen late. The market closes
strong but wit.out much activity.
The Hour narket remains unchanged.
Wheat is acuvt Corn is dull and Oats are
firm. Tobacct is unchanged, Sugar is
dull with no chnges. Syrups dull. The
Pry Goods maitct is a shade more active,
and fight fall stocks continue to arrive.
Fancy and attictive articles are much
sought after ad they will be the prin
cipal features t the trade. The season
will be late, ant for some time yet wifi not
fully open.
"financial.
Very little isloing in financial circles.
N 0 only being in demand
at all. Money Irought in circulation by
cotton has no effet on the market, as it is
sent North and Vest as soon as it changes
hands.

[From W. C. Watts & Co.’s (Liverpool) Cir
cular, August 20.)
The Position. Em-The causes that
have favorably Influenced our market this
week have been a rapid reduction of the
stock here; an error of 23,000 bales In the
London etock-Nvhleh on being counted on
Wednesday last turned out that much less
than estimated—and the tenor of the Wash
ington Bureau’s report on the condition of
the crop. On the other hand, our market
has been unfavorably Influenced by. the
protraction of the look-out at Oldham, the
downward tendency of futures at New
York, less activity at Manchester than was
hopod for, and 'tho rebellion in European
Turkey.
The stock here now amounts to 887,190
bales, against 910,230 at this date last year,
and there are afloat for this port from
America, India, Brazil, etc,, 22,400 less than
last year. The stock in and afloat for Lon
don is 45,730 bales less than last year. The
error of 23,000 bales in the London Stock
we have addod to the deliveries of the trade
this week, but it should be distributed over
the thirty-two weeks of this year. We thus
make the stock held by English spinners
to be now only 62,000 bales less than last
year. It will thus be seen the actual sup
ply of cotton in and afloat for Great Britain
Is nowfabout 143,000 bales less than one year
ago.
The lock-out at Oldham continues and
the general impression now is will not close
until after the wake—a parish festival—the
last week in this month. This lock-out
over, we may then expect a larger trade
demand, particularly for the lower grades
of American cotton, which are mostly used
in the Oldham district. This lock-out has
had, and still has, a strengthening influence
on the Manchester market, and hence there
Is reason to doubt whether or not the ef
fect has on the whole been to depress our
market for co, ton.
The rebellion.of Herzegovina, a'province
of European Turkey, has this week attract
ed a good deal of attention. By some it is
is feared the rebellion may spread to ad
joining provinces, and possibly precipitate
tne breaking up of the Ottoman i mpire
and plunge Europe into a mighty war.—
Certain it is that this led to a downright
panic on the London and several of the
Continental Stock Exchanges on the 18th
and 19th Inst., particularly in Turkish and
Egyptian stocks, but our advices to-day in
dicate that the excitement is subsiding,
due, we suppose, to telegrams from the
Continent, which report that “the three
powers (Russia, Prussia and Austria) are
agreed that the Eastern question shall not
be raised,” etc.
The stock of cotton held by English
spinners we now estimate at 90,000 bales,
against 142 000 last year, and 156,000 the
year before at same date.
The Manchester market this week has
been inactive, but prices romain very
steady. The amount of business doing is
sufficiently large to strengthen the hands
of producers, who therefore show no incli
nation to invite an increased business by
making any concession in price. We now
quote 8% lb. shirtings, 7s. 3da9s. per piece.
No. 40 mule yarn ll%d„ ll%d. and 13%d. for
