THE 6RAN6ERS IN COUNCIL.
They Consider the (jnestinn of Estab
lishing it Grange Warehouse In
Columbus.
, —U -
Executive Committee Authorized to Act
Yesterday, according to previous notice,
the representatives of a number of the
Granges of this section, both of Georgia
and Alabama, mot In this city. Tbe main
object was to hear the report of tho Exec
utive Comm l ttoe previously Instructed to
take Into consideration the question of es
tablishing a Grange Warehouse In Colum
bus, and to ascertain how much cotton
could be promised to suoh a warehouse
by tho Grangers of this section.
The Executive Committee made the fol
lowing report.
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON
GRANGE WAREHOUSE.
Mr, Chairman : Sines our last general
meeting your Executive Committee have
had under consideration the propriety of
establishing a Grange Warehouse in this
city.
After making some investigation on the
subject, your oommltteo decided It was
advisable to call another general meeting
in order that wo might more fully survey
the out-look before taking any decisive
action. It la deemed desirable, In fact
all Important, to ascertain what pledges
for support and patronage we have in
hand, and In prospect, before we take any
steps to inaugurate the proposed enter
prise.
Good and reliable parties are willing to
store our cotton for 20c. per bale, provided
they have proper pledges for patronage
to the amount of 6,000 bales; and If the
amount of receipts should go beyond
these figures, isay to 10,000 or 12,000 bales,
In thateveut, then a further reduction in
price of storage would be conceded.
From the best obtainable information
by the Executive Committee, we are ol
the opinion that not more than two-thirds
of the lnoomlng crop of eottou In the ter
ritory tributary to Columbus, is now, or
Is likely to bo pledged to other ware
houses In this city.
Setting down tho incoming crop at, say
60,000 bales for the Ooiumbus market,
wnich is a low estimate (10,000 less than
tlio past season), and taking one-third ot
that amount, 20,000, as a reasonable esti
mate that is not now, or likely to be
pledged, can’t wo by some diligence, at
least, secure of the unpledged cotton hall
that amount, say 10,000 bales for our pro
posed Grange Warehouse, which would
ensure its success beyond a doubt?
Are those estimates reasonable? If so,
shall we make the effort to inaugurate a
Grange Warehouse in Columbus? or shull
wo fold our hands supinely and publish to
tho world that wo will grumble and com
plain, but wo will submit to any rates that
any combination may think proper to
assess? In conclusion, wo respeetfully
suggest a low reasons why we think it is
best to go forward.
Ist. Money saved is money made. The
difference in storage between 250 and 50c
per bale will amount to an item worthy
of our attention.
2d. Tho establishment of a Grange
Warehouse in this city' will have tho ef
fect of roviving and perpetuating the now
languishing order of Patrons of Husband
ry in this part of tire country—a result
devoutly to be desired, inasmuch as the
prosperity of the agricultural interests ot
the country are largely dependant upou
that improvement and progress which
alone can come of association. The pros
perity of tho agricultural Is the basis of
prosperity of all other classes.
Bd. Tho establishment of a Grange
Warehouse in this city cannot fail to
teach, to all whom it may concern, this
useful lesson: Thut no class, combination
or monopoly shall interfere to the farm
er’s injury, to prevent the free operation
of the great law of “supply and demand,”
"Which is tho true regulator of prices for
labor and produce.
In former times tho farmers, as a class,
were powerless In resisting improper
combinations; but now they have a potent
remedy at bund for all such evils—an
organization by whose magic power they
can, if proporly employed, emancipate
themsolves. Let them rally again under
their honored banner, ami let their watch
word be “co-operation - ’ for self,protection,
equal and exact justice to all, but no t a
cent for tributo.
Tho representatives of the several
Granges were then called upon to report
how many bales of cotton they could
safely promise from the members of their
respective Granges. The result was a
showing of an amount exceeding that
asked for by tho Committee.
After some discussion, a resolution was
adopted requesting the several Granges
to make up, as soon as practicable, sub
scriptions of cotton in a more formal
manner, and to forward them to the Ex
ecutive Committee; also, authorizing that
Committee to make arrangements for es
tablishing a Grange Warehouse in their
discretion; otherwise to come to an agree
ment with Some warehouse that will store
cotton at 25 cents per hale, or less.

Eagle A I'lirnlx LomU In England.
We saw a private letter yesterday, just
received from a Columbus gentleman,now
in Europe, who took soots samples of
Eagle and Ptißnlx goods over with him.
He has shown titan to several merchants,
who were astonished at the excellence of
the fabrics He named a manufacturer,
with whom he had conversed, who pro
poses to commence tho manufacture of
the cotton blankets. The Eagle A Phonix
mills, we believe, are the only manui'actu
ers of these blankets In tills country, at
this time. Their beauty and excellence
have made them popular wherever used.
In Cuba.
Tho Macon Telegraph publishes a letter
from J. B. G., dated Havana, Cuba, May,
1877. What we want to know Is, Is this
writer J. B. G. our friend Count Johannes,
of European and Florida fame? If It Is
he, we are glad of it, for ho sailed over In
the“Nobleold ship Maryard," freighted
with a cargo of Ills dead language*, for a
return cargo of sweet orange sprouts for
his Florida graves. The Count must look
out for these “black eyes,” but we gather
from his letter that he is doing just thut
thing—tf—“nothing more.” Luck to him,
and a pleasont walk—if he can And a road
long enough, on so small ail island.

THE UKEAT EARTHQUAKE.
A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION BY THE CAP
TAIN OF A LOST VESSEL.
Special to tho N. O. Democrat.]
New York, June 13.—Capt. Charles
Macleou, of tho ship Geneva, which
sunk at Huquanillos iu tho great
earthquukeou the Pacilic const, on
tho 9tu ult., has arrived and tolls the
story of his experiences. Ho says
that, though apparently safely an
chored, his ship became entangled
with others near, as they tossed wild
ly about, crashing against each oth
er, and sinking almost immediately
in llfteeu fathoms of water. On the
first' alarm, he came up from between
the decks, It was then about 8:30
P. M.
There had been several shocks in
the previous twenty days.but he had,
nevertheless, completed his cargo of
guano and was expecting to sail the
next morning. Aside from the fright
ful rumbling souud, his attention
was arrested by the extraordinary
phenomena of the shore and moun
tain above being so much agitated
that great rocks became detuctied
and rolled down toward the sea, re
sembling balls of fire. Furthermore,
the water at the anchorage suddenly
receded, so that ships in eight fath
oms touched bottom.
At the same time it was observed
that the ships were swinging round
and round and in opposite directions.
The anchor chains then became en
tangled beneath the copper yards and
the masts interlocking, while the air
resounded with falling spars and the
crash of bulwarks. The water came
surging in like a maelstrom, causing
tho Geneva to swing round at the
rate of eight or ten knots in great
circles until she struck against a
rock, which tore out part of her bot
tom.
The ship was forced violently in an
opposite direction and wout down.
The other vessels were as violently
driven ashore or went to the bottom,
as iu tho case of tho English ship
Avonmore, Captain Cranlield, which
took doivu with her the captain’s
wife, three childrejyaod several oth
ers.
Capt. Macleon says it seemed to
him from the sulphurous or electri
cal appearance of the mountain that
the volcano was bursting out at its
sides; the rocks were tumbling about
with frightful noise and everything
was lighted up.
He thinks that the damage to the i
shipping was caused not so much by
tho tidal wave ns by the upward rush
of water anc| rotary currents drawiug
the ships repeatedly against each
other.
