I claim space In your columns for a
short article, as-'it. is a Grange paper
and I have always used my influence
for its welfare. Notwithstanding some
of our agricultural editors tell us not
to make our troubles public, but. only
disclose them to out (GtalugR aud Gifts
settle )l)cm, p, with/ all due deference
to such good ltd vice,, coiqq fio you with
a trouble which T desire to be made
public, and especially to bo laid lie-fore
the State Grange, or Executive
Committee of the State Grange, The
ma|ti$ M 8thi#( llarly are lie Iff >r6-
ceipt of circulars from all the principal
commercial towns aud shipping points
in our State, from persons who claim
to ho “Grange Ageirts, asking ror' our
cotton and other exports. 3’hey call
upon us day by day with indefatiga-blc
cupidity- to: fiend iu our exp'rts,

section. \V eihftvO); 4 hwugli • aa< 1 expo-rience,
found that fltby ate hot able, to
meet (lie ■ demands-of (lie., exigency.
For instance, We have not been-raising
wheat in this .section ef itjie. country
and desire to do so this season; we
have already been to . sopip expense
niitT oorisidenibfe' irbtthle iii procuring
seeil wheat, we have written to our
agents, and ionmL, Jo our dismay,
that tlic^coifti’Lnt w usA'and -the
consequence is, we must take our wag-kms
thirty, fifty or one hundred miles,
in order Uiiij,)';c may. hu\jc .wheat to
sow this ffdu 'NUw, fli)s ought to he
remedied, and must be. Then the
question how.shall we do it ( Why,
just this way;, | We, j a^ if b^ay, hife
an official organ, whose duty it should
be to do our work. It should be the
duty of that organ to publish the name
of every Grange in the State, its Mas-ter,
Secretary afid ’postoftice. Then
you see, we would bring about u per-feel
network all ' over odr Stat'd 1|
would preclude the, necessity of ‘so
many agents. •> Our State Grange would
have something,clse.ns itajiue qua-nou,
iu the. success of [|ic:.Ordq.'r (fexdept to
appi'hit itgehfs; ana* we‘would then
be able to know to whom -and ■ where
to write f< r any ihfonnafiou or any
production of the earth wecewifiy to a
farmer’s interest, and wq wo^id he
able to procnirf such articles with a
much Jess expense, than to obtain them
through an agent. The Secretary of
one Grange could ship to the Secretary
ol another in different counties at a
much iess cost than an agent who lives
on his per cent, in some fashionable
city. 1 hope you will give us a hear-ingon
the subject. Tun.
Bovei uor Coke’s Administration.
From the Colorado (fitizon.
With this issue we complete the se
lies of articles entitled ‘-‘(Jbke’B Ad-«*
ministration,” written by “Justice,”
and first, printed in- the Waco- Exami-net.
The articles are terse, practical,
well-written, and adapted to the un-derstanding
of all, and were intended
to do justice ts a faithful, holiest pub-lie
servant, who has been abused with-out
stint by n press opposed to him
from intejest^d motwesMvbteh lias j/A
no opportunity do JeritlmssL^arid -carp
ppon every official act, to misconstrue
tile intention in order to render the-
Governor obnoxious to t lie people, and
unpopular with the party. These
presses have rarely given the Governor
credit, fdr any of the benefits accruing
from any of the. official. acts,of his ad-ministratroii,
'd’nllfc' at” the same time
they 'have published everything, no
matter from what source emanating/ *
which would tend to cast a slur upon
his Administration, or to detract from
the good name of the Governor.
Their efforts in this direction have
been pursued with a zeal worthy of a
better cause. .
A careful perusal of the at tides ol
“Justice,” which we have taken great-;
pleasure in reproducing in these col*
limits, will convince the most skeptical
that not only lias Governor Coke been
greatly misrepresented, hut gross errors
and misstateiheiitis hive been given-tb
Hie world to his discredit. He has
maintained every principle enunciated
in the Democratic platform upon which
fate was elected, with a .well-directed
and masterly ability, has redeemed the
credit of the State at home and abroad,
established order'out of chaos, and
placed the machinery of government
in smooth running’ order, and Secured
peace among the people-of disaffected
sections. He lias often Worked at- a
disadvantage, apparently in ooutraven-
(ion to the will of the people, ami his
policy, as in the International Railroad
case, in the end, has always proved
the fittest, and conserved tq J he. in-
(crests of the w'ltVfTo State. '
Entering upon the discharge of llic
duties of his office with' a depleted
-treasury, the strictest economy and
honesty has been inaiul.aiii.ed,.in the
expenses ;of ihe Blafei) Government,
and every c- If off lms Men made to pay
up the public debt, to prevent its ex-pamyon,
anil to place the treasury in a
condition to meet and promptly adjust
every legal obligation. These acts
have been the constant, and unwearied
effort of the Governor, and there are
few but wilt concede that in every un-dertaking
he has met with a success
beyond their most sanguine expects-tions.
That Governor Coke has made some
errors was to be anticipated. The ar-rangement
of the government of a
great State like Texas, with -people of
diversified views, is a matter of diffi-cult
attainment, and there are few men
capable of conducting it without occa-siomil
mistakes. But upon. all ques-t-
ionsof paramount and State-wide in-tgrests,
we believe lie has pursued the
best, policy, and lias given general sat-isfiotion.
He»is just- the man for the
position, chosen at the right time, is
an honor to the State, and is a man
whom Texans will'delight to honor.
In case of a new'election for the same
office, Coke is to-day the strongest
man within all Texas

points threatened. Tliere are uboiq
one hundred armed citizens here who picket
tlie town, while the people hardly know
what, to do. Their homes in the country
arc unprotected. Should the negroes offer
violence, there will he a fearful state of
affairs, as the w lutes .a re determined to dis-perse
all males, but arc prudent, -and w-ill
act on the defensive.

A Worse Danger titan War,
Ex-Gov. Brownlow has been ex-pressing
his views with his usual pun-gency
to a reporter of tlie Cincinnati
Gazette. He thinks the country is
threatened with a greater danger than
the war, namely: the restoration of the
Democracy to power on a repudiation
platform. He says the Southern Dem-oerats
are unanimously in favor of iu-flation,
because they know it means
inflation, and believes Ohio would go
Republican by 50,000 majority if peo-pie
there comprehended the baleful
effect which the re-election of Gov.
Allen would have. As for Gen. Cary,
the “ Parson” has traveled with him,
and sets hiin down as a ” mountebank,
a political pirate and prostitute.” Sen-ator
Schurz, in Mr. Brownlow’s opin-ion,
is one of the “most brilliant and
remarkable men of the day,” and his
canvass in Ohio will he of incalculable
service to the Republican party.”
No Time for’Fin.
VYe have no time for relics in this
country, and little veneration. The
horse that carried the greatest Dun-eral
of the Union army at Vicksburg
was sold under the hammer at St.
Louis the other day,like any veteran
of the hack, and her original owner
netted $56 by the operation. May
“ Vicksburg” find a kind master
and some day a fitting resting place
for her old hones. Her history is
worth that at least.
