MONTGOMERY, ALA.
President Chambers’ Address l the
Mate GrniiKr.
Exchange Hotel, I
Montgomery, Ala., Dec. IG, IH7G. |
Editor Columbus Times—
Montgomery looks blue, dull and
indifferent to-day. The Legislature
gone, Circusgone, State Grange gone,
and boarding-house keepers wearing
long faces. Indeed, the city seems
deserted.
ANNUAL ADDRESS OF THE MASTER OF
THE STATE GRANGE.
Col. Wm. H. Chambers, of Russell
county, Master of the State Grange
* of Alabama, in annual session in this
place on the 12th inst., delivered Ids
annual address to that body, which
was received with applause.
He lirst welcomed the Order to
Montgomery. He rejoiced in the oc
casion which brought the farmers to
gether to exchange feelings of fartn
erly and agricultural,love, to talk to
gether over farm matters. He es
teemed it the highest pur
poses and chief excellencies of the
Order of Patrons “that feeling of fel
lowship which it is intended to awak
en among those who are united by a
community of interest. Without the
advantages of constant association,
which is offered by the compact
neighborhoods of cities and towns;
living for the most part on our farms,
and, as a general rule in the South,
in sparsely settled communities,farm
ers feel less of that sense of brother
hood, which grows out of identity of
pursuit, than is generally found
among those, who are engaged in
other vocations. Merchants meet
each other daily on the streets and
in their places of business, physi
cians are brought together constant
ly in the sick room and in their pro
fessional boards, lawyers are drawn
together in the court room; and thus
the ties of a common pursuits are
cemented by personal contact; but
aien who cultivate the soil are, from
the nature of their business, brought
but little into association with each
other, and from this cause, perhaps,
it has happened that there is less
professional cohesion among farmers
than is to be found in any of the
other vocations of life. Tire Grange
helps to correct this misfortune.”
They realized this in the monthly
and annual meetings, in State, coun
ty and subordinate Granges as they
met around a common altar. Farm
ers there know each other better and
cultivate a feeling of love for each
other.
He denies that the Order, from any
selfish or clannish motive, meets to
gether to combine against other
classes or to employ means in hopes
to further their own end or intertests.
When others reflect upon the impor
tant relation which the agriculture
of the country sustains to the gener
al prosperity, that it is indeed the
mainspring of our natural growth,
and that the grand aim of the Grange
is to foster, develop©, and strength
en that great interest—l repeat it,
we have established our claim to the
good will of men of all classes and
all pursuits.
The Grange is nothing more nor
loss than an organization of the agri
cultural classes of the country for
the purpose of building up and pro
moting the interests of the laud. Its
vitality has been exactly proportion
ate to its fidelity to this germinal
idea. Wherever this truth has been
subordinated to an inferior concep
tion of its mission, the Grange has
languished and will eontiuue to lan
guish so long as its object is miscon
ceived. Other views of its design,
finding expression in questionable
enterprises, may give to itforawhile a
fictitious prosperity, but in the long
run, and as a rule almost universal,
those Granges have been most fortu
nate which have kept it steadily in
view, as the aim of its organization.
IN HIS CONCEPTION,
the State Grange is the State Agri
cultural Society of Alabama, and the
six hundred subordinate Granges
which we have scattered through the
rural districts of Alabama are so
many associations of the farmers in
their respective neighborhoods, for
the purpose of improving the agri
culture of the State. Because I re
gard the Grange as the most effici
ent organization for this purpose
that we have ever had in this coun
try, and I believe if we should per
mit it to fall we shall probably never
have another that can so well do this
work, I feel a profound interest in
whatever concerns its prosperity.
DELINQUENT DUES.
Some grangers have failed to pay
up, and he advises they be relieved
aud revised—how or when as master
he did not instruct.
COUNTY DEPUTIES,
he believed the best system of
deputies, but he acknowledged it dif
ficult to secure competent men to fill
the office; that last year the appoint
ments were made by him too late to
effect much good.
COUNTY ORANGES
need uniformity in their work, to be
effective; and he asked for legisla
tion necessary to meet the object of
such county organizations. In his
judgment, it was best to aid County
Fairs; that they could do nothing
"which will more certainly vitalize
our v der and promote the great aim
of our organization, than to foster
these enterprises by lending to them
your encouragement and co-opera
tion. I should rejoice to see move
ments set on foot in every county in
the State for holding County Fairs
daring the coming year. In Maren
go, Sumter, Dallas, Bullock, Jefifer
sou, and perhaps other counties, the
efforts which have been made in this
direction have met with the most
gratifying success, and I doubt not
will bo repeated the coming year
with still better results. I trust that
the examples of these counties will
be followed in other sections of the
State, and I feel assured that wher
ever they aro undertaken, the most
gratifying fruits will result from
them.”
HIS IDEA OF CO-OPERATION.
“I am free to say that I have not en
tered with much enthusiasm into
some of the schemes for co-opera
tion in business,which have received
the hearty endorsement of other
members of our order. Indeed, I have
regarded some of these enterprises
with so much distrust that I have
been charged with hostility to this
feature of the Grange. Such a charge,
however, does mo injustice. I am a
friend to co-operation, but I am not
an advocate of all the visionary
schemes which, under the name of
“co-operation”—a sort of talismanie
name in our order--have been rec
ommended to patrons, and many of
which have always resulted in fail
ure, to the personal injury of those
who have embarked in them, and to
the detriment of our cause. My
judgment is, that we should embark
very cautiously in any business enter
prise involving the credit or good
name of the Order. Every failure in
an effort of that sort reacts prejudi
cially upon the Grange. Asa gener
al rule, I doubt the wisdom of under
taking to turn farmers into mer
chants. My opinion is, we shall best
subserve the interests of agriculture,
aud the prosperity of our Order, by
sticking to our own business, aud
permitting the merchants to attend
to theirs. Hence I have not looked
with favor upon the system of “co
operative stores,” which seem to
have succeeded well in England, and
which from that fact, have been very
earnestly recommended to .the
farmers of this country. In dense
ly populated districts, and when for
tunately placed in the management
of prudent business men, they may
succeed ; but in sparsely settled com
munities like ours, and in the hands
of men, who, however successful as
fanners, have had no experience in
mercantile pursuits, they will in nine,
cases out of ten, result in failure. JI
confess I have no confidence whatev
er, in what is called “international
co-operation.” The idea that the
farmers of this country can, without
the intervention of “middle men,”
send their produce* directly to the
manufacturers of Europe, and re
ceive in return the fabrics of the
mills, so far from being progress is in
my opinion a step backward in civil
ization. It is a Violation of that law
of competition and subdivision of la
bor which is the genius of our age,
and to which more than to any other
one principle are we indebted for
the excellence which has been
attained in every department
of industry. I cannot, of course,
within the limits of a commu
nication like this, undertake to go
into any extended argument on this
matter, and hence must content my
self with the general statement of
my views. There are, however, legit
imate subjects and modes of co-oper
ation, which I should be glad to see
fully considered and prudently em
barked in by our Order. One is the
establishment of schools for the edu
cation of our children, in which some
of our District Granges have already
made very successful experiments.
There are now within this State seve
ral well established and prosperous
institutions of learning, founded un
der the auspices of the Grange, in
communities where, without such co
operation, there would have been no
schools whatever. Another instance
of feasible and proper co-operation is
furnished in the example of those
District GraDges which have combin
ed for the purpose of breaking down
monopolies hostile to the interests
of agriculture. In some cases, com
binations have been formed among
those who have transportation and
handling of our crops, by which the
producers have been compelled to
submit to unreasonable exactions,
and in almost every instance where
the Grange has undertaken it, these
combinations have been forced to
giveaway. This sort of co-operation
is legitimate and commendable. In
other instances, Granges have united
COLUMBUS. GA.. WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20, 1870.
in raising a fund for the purchase, at
wholesale, and for cash supplies for
their farms, thereby effecting a largo
saving in the cost of their purchases.
This mode of co-operation is practi
cable, and will, I trust, become more
general. Another mode of co-opera
tion is that suggested in tho memo
rial presented to the National Grange
at its last session, by a oommittee
appointed at a meeting of the mem
bers of tho Executive Committee as
sembled in Convention at Chicago,
November 19th. I invite your care
ful attention to these suggestions,
contained in the paper herewith
transmitted, und hope that you may,
at this session, do something to
wards the inauguration of the sys
tem therein recommended.
STATE FAIR, GRANGE ITALLS AND STATE
TEMPLE
received favorable notices and re
comeudntions. Other .points soley
of interest to the Order were reviewed
in a style that reflected credit on tho
Order.
CONCLUSION.
Of the recent objects and ultimate
aims, designs or success of this se
cret Outer wo are ignorant; but if
Col. Chambers and his Grangers will
raise more “hog and hominy” and
less cotton another year, they will
have advanced one step in fanning,
and to this and all honorable aims
they have our best wishes.

THE SOUTHERN* DEMOCRACY.
Tlieir Attitude In Deference to ■ lie
Presidential Question.
A Determination to At Mlutnn Their ItlitM*
Allied Willi Conservatism.
Special Dispatch to the World.]
Washington. Dec. 15— Tho South
ern members of Congress, in inter
views to-day, appear to bo growing
restive under the continued misrep
resentations of their attitude on the
Presidential question, which are ap
pearing from day to day in the news
papers. The sensational and wholly
incorrect report of an interview Col.
Roberts, of New Orleans had with
Gov. Hayes, at the home of the lat
ter in Ohio, was promptly exposed
and contradicted but it contin
ues to be followed by similar
statements which aro equally un
founded in fact. Some of these re
ports have no doubt grown out of a
recent interview with Mr. Hill, of
Georgia; but Mr. Hill does not re
flect altogether the sentiments of his
colleagues, and could not command
to-day a corporal’s guard of follow
ers. It is possible that thero may be
one or two Soul hern members who
would concede the election of Mr.
Hayes with the hope of gainingsome
thing for their section by the conces
sion, but it would be difficult to find
them. They certainly would notreji
resent the sentiments of the South
ern people. Neither among the
Southern men in Congress or out of
it is there the slightest disposition to
concede the election of Mr. Hayes, or
the faintest desire to buy his good
will by acting in bad faith towards
their Northern allies. The South did
its part in the lust election toward
placing Mr. Tilden in the Presi
dential Chair; it knows that he
has been fairly elected, and should be in
augurated, and that position it is ready to
maintain. Of course, if the North makes
no resistance to the revolutionary pro
gramme by which the Radicals propose
to put Mr. Hayes into the White House
the South must also give way, however
unwillingly. But let the North show a
hold front and assert its rights, and the
South will not be found wanting. Of
course no Southern man, and it might he
further said no true lover of his country,
desires the settlement of the Presidential
question by an appeal to arms. All in
terest save those of a few adventurers are
opposed to internal strife, and none are
more ready to deprecate even die possi
bility of bloodshed than the much ma
ligned cx-Confederates who heldsoats in
Congress. They have seen quite enough
of Avar and its horrors. All the war
talk of to-day comes from Ihe
hangers-on of the Administration and
departmentalemployees, and the loudest
mouthed are those least likely to respond
to a possible call to arms. They are no
doubt encouraged in their threats by the
moderate and law-abiding policy of tiie
Democrats in Congress and by the appar
ent apathy with which the people of the
North have tegarded the use of troops and
the frauds of the returning hoards in the
South. A little while ago they were com
pelled reluctantly no doubt, to admit the
election of Mr. Tilden and to concede that
lie would lie inaugurated: now they say
that if the attempt is made to inaugurate
him there will he trouble, and that the
Democrats will show their wisdom by
forbearing to provoke a collision. Of
course, this is mere idle vaporing; but men
who talk so are moved by the spirit which
lias Grant in leading strings and dictates
the Republican policy. The idea that
threats of this kind could have any effect
upon the Democrats in Congress or out
of it is too absurd lor serious considera
tion ; but it is not more absurd than the
repeated false statements that the South
ern Rcpresenativcs here have any inten
tion or desire to sell themselves to Gover
nor Ilayes or to place the fortunes of the
South in liis hands. To this a Southern
member to-day suggested the additional
assurance that the Southern Democracy
have been tried by fire since the war and
tlieir loyalty to the Constitution and the
Union proved beyond all question. These
are the view's as obtained by a correspond
dent of the World from conversation
with nearly all of the Southern members
of the House.

Washington, Dec. 19.--The Herald's
Columbia dispatch says the Demo
cratic programme of memorializing
Congress for its recognition of Hamp
ton as Governor, and of otherwise ar
riving at a peaceful solution of the
present complications, is being
carried out. Gov. Hamilton and his
advisers were engaged to-day in
framing a memorial, which when
completed will be promptly forward
ed and presented to both Houses of
Congress.
In further pursuance of tho plan,
Gov. Hampton to-day made a formal
demand upon Chamberlain for pos
session of the Executive Department
of the Government. The following
are copies of the correspondence
between the two Governors.

suffered as much from the Sioux since
they went to the Hills as they did
before on the border. Ho claims
that his command, with less than
1,000 men, fought and beat Sitting
Bull’s band in the battle of the Rose
Bud, only a week previous to Cus
ter’s disaster. He thinks the Gov
ernment has treated the Sioux with
unparalleled liberality, which they
have repaid with Raids only limited
by the endurance of their ponies.
