COLUMBUS MILLS. INTERESTI.NO PROCEEDINGS. The State Grange Patrons of Hus bandry met in this city yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, in the Good Templar Hall, Fisher Building, the Master, Dr. Columbus Mills, presid ing. The Committee on Credentials reported a full attendance from every section of the State. During the past year the Execu tive Committee changed the repre sentation, allowing only one dele gate to every live Granges. After some discussion , the action of the Executive Committee was sustained. Dr. Mills delivered the following annual address, which was listened to with marked attention : .SwfTr8 and Jirother : As chosen representatives of the Patrons of Hus bandry to the State Grange of North Carolina, you are now assembled in annual convocation to take into con sideration nil questions and make all necessary legislation for the good of ihe order, and the country's welfare. I am pleased to extend to each and all a happy salutation of fraternal good will, and through you, my hon ored brothers, to all Patrons through out the State. J congratulate you on the Haltering auspices ami hopeful assurances that greet us on every hand. The great truths and princi ples taught by Patrons of Husbandry are fast becoming the hope and policy of all productive industry. Agricul turists outside of the Grange, as well as those bearing forward the noble work, are participators in the fruits of our labors, aud at this our second annual meeting is exhibited the in fant order, strong in numbers and joverful for good. Wesee in all this the hand of Providence that has blessed our lalors. The sanction of Omnipotent favor is sealed and attested by the growing importance, acknowledged influence of our order, and the crowning success of the Pa tron's highest hopes, and as Patrr ns we have cause to be thankful. Let us, therefore, with humility and rev erence acknowledge all gratitude to God, andseud up to heaven the hon est Patron's shout of thanksgiving and praise, and invoke with becom ing meekness the continued favor of the great Architect of all our hopes. Your duties are grave and impor tant; upon your deliberations in a great measure depend the welfare of our order, and while we do not as sume the country's care, the Patron's labor, we confidently affirm, will be happily felt by all productive indus try. From the infancy and short ex perience of our order, very little pre cedent is afforded you as a guide to your deliberations. This you can in a measure supply by diligent study of all questions, free and full discussion, close observance of the laws and principles of the or Jer and an honest endeavor to seek iutelligent truth. I will therefore invite j-ou to discuss in a spirit of fraternal kindness, nil questions that may come before you, that your action maybe intelligent and "wise. The great principles of our or ler, lke our fields, demand care and attention. Keep them be fore the world. Reaffirm them to the country, inscribed on the Hus bandman's j banner of hope, that faithful Patrons may bear it high to the breeze as a guide to our fellows on the highway to knowledge, wealt'i and iwer, and as a light of welcome in well doing to all. The great principle of co-operation is ersentially the practical thought of the times. No question is more im ortant to the Grange welfare and none so little understood. Our duty is to atudy it, discuss it, and learn it. In'vour Grange at home and in your daily correspondence with your fel lows, make it a subject always in or-' der for debate, that every Patron in the land may he taught to compre hend ami understand u in all its bearings upon the good ol our order. Instruct yourselves lully on tins branch of our order's faith and teach in ir. and wo will have accomplished the Patron's prosperity, our fullest 1iok-s and for our children a wealth in knowledge, as well as in material things we as a people, seem, from education and habit, to havu a natu ral aversion to co-operation. e see this exhibited in all our Granges, a tleep laid prejudice against their greatest leverof power and influence is prevalent, all from ignorance ot the subject. Our efforts should be untir ing to remove tins .gnorance ana substitute instead an active intelli gence, and a rich reward will follow. Let us encourage co-operatjon in sales, and purchases in building up manufactories, and all other indus tries consistent with our avocation. The great principle of co-operation is fundamental to the best success in all industries, therefore we should foster It, as a vital source of life, and all ignorance of its merit should be driven from our borders. There is no sense of deli :tcy that should prevent us from declaring the fact, that among larmers as a class there is a great want of information, ow ing mainly to lack of means of in telligence, and Patrons share largely the general fate. In view of this, the thought natural! v arises, that if pos sible, to provide the means to lead our fellows and countrymen out or me wilderness, we should do it, as in our minds a sense of dnty and interest plainly commands it. We deem the time oortune and the subject lit, to exhibit a practical demonstration of co-operative labor in building up in the State a much needed Grange journal of the highest standard of ex cellence In all respects, one tnai win visit weekly or monthly every Pat ron's household in the State. The achievement of such a hope would be crowning fame to our order ana carry the sun-beam of knowledge into lovely spots now shaded Dy igno rance, The subject is worthy of care ful consideration, and I hope your wisdom may devise a means to carry out theobject. Weareadmonished by the great principles of our order to encourage education, let us obey the nlunction with alacrity and spirit. that those who follow usod the stage of life may be fitted for their dnties. Manufacturing as a branch of in dustry is a vital source of wealth and influence that enterprising Patrons may make a powerful auxiliary to rural industry. I cannot do more than call your attention to the sub ject with the hope of inviting discus RALEIGH. N. C.

TELEGRAMS. The following telegram was re ceived: Baltimore, Mi., March 'To. To Cohtmbus Mills, Maxtu of N. C. State Grange .- Patrons in .Maryland send warm est congratulations to brothers and visitors in North Carolina. May God bless your deliberations. Jas. T. Mooke, Master Maryland State Grange. A telegram was sent in answer to the Maryland Grange, now in session in Baltimore, respecting the kind reeling expressed in the foregoing dispatch. Some Cotton. It is enough to make any Grangers mouth water to see the specimen of cotton on exhi bition at the Y arborough House, and for which Professor O. W. Carr, of Trinity College, is the State Agent for the sale of the seed. We have never seen boles as large and compact, sta ple as white and clear, or a prettier fibre than the specimen shown us. This new candidate for Grange favor is known as "Cheatham s Champion Prolific," and is a native of Jefferson county, Ga. The seed of this cotton was first of fered for sale by Captain John W. Cheatham in the Spring of 1S74. He commenced in 1S68 by planting the finest varieties of prolific seeds, and thus from year to year until he has reached the height of perfection. But we will say no more about it. Professor Carr" will be In the city several days and will show a speci men of the cotton and give such in formation as our farmers may re quire. . The Poll-Tax Indictments. Under the provisions of the law, So licitor Harris has recently raised a little rumpus by causing indictments to be be made against all parties who failed to list their poll taxes In 1873 '74, all parties so failing being com pelled to give bond for their appear ance before the next Superior Court. The cost to all parties so indicted would reach some $10 or$12, the So licitor's fee being $4 on each case. The Senate yesterday passed a bill releasing all indictments upon the tax receipt being exhibited and the costs being paid, the Solicitor, Sheriff and Clerk to receive each twenty-five ceuts costs. Should this bill pass the House it will give relief to the large number who have fallen under the law, while it will materially reduce the sum that would have gone into the pockets of the officials. We learn that some 3,000 persons had been indicted in this county. Notice. Members of Beaton Gales Lodge, I. O. O. F., will pay particu lar attention to the fact that there will be a regular meeting to-night. Business of great importance will be transacted, Every member's pre sence is required. PhilThiem, P.

The new warehouse at Neuse Depot, on the Raleigh & Gas ton Railroad in this county, erected by Mr. Peterson Dunn, for the storage of the Cotton Food Fertilizer, suc cumbed to the pressure yesterday, and In upsetting, made a complete somersault, smashing the entire building to atoms. The foundation of the building sunk into the earth, which had become toft by the con tinued rains, causing the catastro phe. There was stored in the build ing at the time 300 tons of the Fertil izer, which of course was not injured. The building is an entire loss, being only fit for kindling wood. We Pass The northern furniture dealer that sent Bro. Whitaker, of the Friend of Temperance, a circular containing a description of a recently patented cradle, applied at a "goat's house for wool." Though a married man of eleven years standing, his peaceful slumbers have never yet been disturbed by the squall of an infant. Bro. W. sent us the circular, but as we are not running on that line.we passed it over to our business office for the consideration of the presiding genius of that department.

Court adjourned until 10 o'clock a. m., to-day. Uncle IJilly's Objections to Civil Rights. I "interviewed" Uncle Billy, a good old colored friend of mine, the other day on the question of civil rights. "Don't want nufliu mo'," said Un cle Billy. "Got too much already fur dis niggah." "How is that, Uncle Billy? Is it not a good thing to be equal before the law?" "Now, Marse Boss," grunted Billy plaintively, "dar's jist whar de mise ry comes in. We're ekal befo' de law, an dar yer hit our weak pint. Befo' de war de niggah stole chicken an' pig, yer jerked him up, guv him thirty-nine lashes, and let him go. But jist let a cullud pusson try it now. Yer hauls him 'lore court, an' sen's him to de penitentia ry jist like he was one of yer poor white trash. Dat's what 'tis to be ekal 'fore de law." I suggested to Uncle Billy that this might be obviated by being a little more honest. "Marse Boss," interrupted Bill, "we can't run agin natur'. It's nat 'ral fur niggah to steal pig and chick en, frving size. Yer knows it is, an tain't no use try in' to stop us. Now we tins are williu' to let yuns alone on this point. We're powerful weak on dis pint, Marse Boss." Just here a perverse and disloyal spirit tempted me to hint to Uncle Bill that the colored people were in debted to their Republican friends for this change in their status. "Well, den, Marse Boss," said he, "all Ise got to say is, de laws got to be changed, hah a law for de white man and a law for de black man ! " Strange as it may seem, some of our best citizens echo uncle Billy's senti ment. They are inclined to view the negro's minor transgressions in a len ient light, and I know that some of our Democratic judges impose lighter penalties upon colored men for small offences than they would do in cases where the guilty "parties were white. Before uncle Billy left I asked him how he would like to sit down at the table with white folks at the hotels. "Great Goddlemighty" exclaimed the cood old man. "I allow your self try in' to make fun o' dis chile. W hv. you knows yourseit aat a culled pusson ebber lets a white man see 'em eat ef dey kin help it ! " This is strictly true. The ordinary southern negro will not eat in the presenceof a white spectator. "well, uncle limy." i saia, -u is very evident that you don't wantany civil rights." "Not any ting mo', I tank you,' re plied Billy. "Nearly done ruined now. Hev to pay my own doctor s bills; lost all my money in de Freedmen's bank ; uebergot no forty acres and de mule dey promised me, and can't help myself to a little chicken, fryin' size, widout gwin to the penitentiary. 1'se got 'nun cibbil rights !" The above is no production of the fancy. It is a true incident, honestly told, and it is impossible to talk to the country neerroes without hearing just such things as I have related. The Inacpenaent. Tho Tlormhlicnn nartv. or rathe the present leaders of it. have risked its future nrosneritv unon measures. one of which cannot pass the Senate, ... i ii ana ine otner or wnicn win ue a prac tical nullity. The Civil Rights bill is not more stringent than many of the enactments of local Legislatures at the South. After all it will be ext to imnossible so to use the col ored people as to break the patience of the whites. The latter are not fools. Their hot blood has been cool ed. They see the object of such a hill nnd nrt lprrminpd to thwart those who rely upon their opposition. Jib la uot tile jess lumuiuua 101 iuou It should be the death-blow to the Republican, party the last nail in ts cotnn. uauimore vazette. GOV. The New York Herald thinks the Ciyil Rights bill as passed of but lit tle moment in its operations.; Com menting on it, it says: The I mana ger of a theatre will run the risk of a verdict for damages before seating black men by the side of white ones in the parquet and dress circle. It will be some years before the : aristo cratic denizens of Sullivan and Thompson streets will be allowed to occupy the boxes at Wallack's or Booth's or Daly's. In realUy the bill is a pretence, not a measure, and it results in pleasing nobody. Mr. Sumner would have spurned it from him with contempt. In omitting the school clause everything that was vital in it is destroyed." Clayton, N. C, Feb. H, 1S75. Messrs.

This substitute provides that any person indicted lor the failure to register property or poll shall be relieved upon presentation of their tax receipts and the payment of all costs, the county in no case to be responsible for any portion of the cost. Mr. Busbee advocated the passage of this bill. In Wake county, as he had been (informed, .'J.L'oo indictments had been made under the provisions of the law as it now stands, and he asked relief for this unfortunate class. Mr. Cantwell opposed the bill. Let every man suffer' for a failure to do his duty in this respect. The discussion was continued at much length. An amendment was adopted that the said indictments be dismissed by the payment of the sum of 25 cents to the Solicitor, 'S cents to the Sheriff' and 25 cents to the Clerk, va rious other amendments having been adopted.

The bill in relation to the Western North Carolina; railroad was taken up as the unfinished business, and discussed at considerable length. Mr. Gudger favored the substitute of Mr. Candler as being the most feasible plan of completing this road to its proposed termini.

Adver tisements must be confined strictly to the business of the advertiser. 1 j bitter on the amendment of Mr. Mc Rae, which he said was known as the Smith clause of the consolidation act of the last General Assembly. He thought it passing strange that Mr. McRae should see fit to incorporate this amendment in the bill now be fore the House, when no such clause was to be found in a railroad bill he (McRae) had introduced and cham pioned in the House. The substitute, he said, was favorably considered by the Senate, and also the Senate Com mittee, i Mr. McRae said the bill he had the honor to introduce was an act to amend the charter of the Carolina Central Railway, a corporation fully organized and iu operation, and ft was not his province or the province of this House to incorporate such an amendment in a charter already in operation. It was his fortune to in troduce the bill to amend the char ter of the Carolina Central Railway at the request of a friend, whose char acter was-;as pure and spotless as any man in the State, and since that time he had to bear the heavy load on his shoulders, that he .was here in tlie interest of a railroad ring, &c He had nothing whatever to do with the road, did not live on its line, and only introduced the bill mentioned at the request of a friend, and would do it again, etc. He again spoke iu favor of the original bill and opposed the substitute. ; Mr. Erwin argued in favor of theorlg inal bill with great earnestness. It was the only bill which proposes to pro tect the interest of the private stock holders of the W. N. C; R. R.f and he urged that point, and the only feasible proposition to complete this Railroad. If the substitute should be adopted the result will be tho stockholders of the N. C. R. R., will enjoin the N. C. R. R., ! from carry ing it out. 1 ho W. N. C. R. R., will be tied up just as it is now in the Federal Court. Many other objec tions he urged at considerable length. Mr. Patton was willing to compro mise the,;existing difference by the adoption of both bills, and urged this course. The defects in one could be cured by the merits of the other, and he would vote for both bills. Mr. Norment thought the substi tute was decidedly the most feasible plan for completing the Road and saving the State's interest in the same. He urged its adoption. Mr. Boyd had examined both of the propositions before the House, and after careful consideration was clearly of the opinion that the sub stitute should be adopted. Mr. Oaksmith said he proposed to submit a few remarks only, partly on a question of privilege as his name had been used by the gentleman from Madison. Three years ago he did interest himself in the affairs of this road, and was probably instrumental in getting up the appeal that was carried to the Supreme Court. He proceded at some length to state his reasons for this aud also for opposing the theti proposed consolidation measure. He was in favor of the bill introduced by Mr. Tate and urged its passage. Mr, Candler next took the floor in support of the resolution, but yielded to a motion to adjourn till 7 o'clock to-night. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Dula rose to a question of priv ilege, stating that the Daily News of this morning contained a speech purported to have been delivered by his colleague, Major Foote, in which was contained reflections on himself that he felt due himself to reply to." He claimed that this was not- tho speech delivered on the occasion, and at some length replied to several portions of the remarks. Mr. Foote replied briefly, In which he expressed his heartfelt sympathy for his unfortunate colleague, who had just retnrned from his constitu ents in all this bad humor. He did not propose to increase his weight of sorrow by a continuation of his re marks, but will leave him to his own reflections, ;agaln -extending bin sincere sympathy in this his hour of sore need. Mr. Spears rose to a question of privilege in defense of the whole. Democratic party. He said, I am a member of the great Democratic party of this country Mr. Speaker the gentleman must confine himself to his jiersonal. privi lege. Mr. Spears Yes, sir as a memler of the great Democratic party Mr. Speaker The great Demo cratic party is not before the House. Mr. Spears Then, sir, as a con stituent part of that great Democratic p'lity, 1 rise to protest agaiust the ; statement made by the gentleman from Wilkes, Mr. Dula, that his course during the discussion of the Glenn resolutions was endorsed by the Democratic party Mr. Dula, (interrupting), I only said that the Democrats of my county sustained my course. Mr. Spears Then I take it all back. Laughter. Mr. Wood stated that Mr. Elliott was detained in his room 011 account of sickness. Leave of absence was granted Mr. Moring for to-night. Adjourned.
