At a meetimg of Stony Point Grange,

resolutions were presented by J. D. l'vers,
and adopted by the Grange:
llttohcd, That we desire to lay down
all the exciting political hobby-horses
which have caused so much strife and
division and distress in our country, by
carrying corrupt men into office, and that
we heartily endorse the sentiment taught
in our organic law, that the Grange is
not a political organization; but we be
lieve that the principles we teach under
lie all true politics, and if properly carried
out will tend to purify the whole political
atmosphere of our country, and fill our
offices with sound, honest men, in place
of corrupt partisans and demagogues.
llcsolced. That we will not vote for any
man for office who will not pledge him
self to do all in his power, consistent
with reason and honesty, to lighten the
burthen of the farmer and protect his in
dustrial interests, to oppose bribery of
every description, and the unreasonable
high salaries of our ollicers, county, State
and national.
1 Jlesokal, That we will not assist in
(ailv COI1Vcntioii to nominate forofiiee any
man of known corrupt morr.il, but will
work for a speedy reform in all depart

Editor Herald. Seeing a "Letter
from Buckhorn" in your issue of May
1G, calls to my mind a little incident
which occurred a few weeks since. I was
on my way home from Hartford to Buck
horn, never having been there before. A
few miles lrom Hartford, I overtook a
gentleman on horseback. We chatted
along from there to Buckhorn vcrv social
He seemed to think that Buckhorn
was the only place of importance in the
county, and 1 should be inclined to think
that it was he that wrote the letter from
Buckhorn, if wchad not mel a ftrangcr.
who saluted me with h bluff "Good even.
and my companion with, "How are you
Sam?'' The one that wrote the letter
from Buckhorn signed his name "John.'
When we arrived at Buckhorn, he pro
ceeded to show me all the places of im-
portance. When he bad told me where
each family lived in Buckhorn, and what
each one did for a living, I told him it
was not much of a place afterall. "Thi
aint all of it," said he, "there is a house
just over the hill there, you havn't seen
vet."
rhe two tobacco factories John speaks
of were not carried on by any one then
and as that was not more than three
weeks ago, I don't suppose much bust
nesa is being done in them now. "John'
says the crops look well for the season
What does he think of wheat and oats?
"John" sayH that a busybody is like
rich cheese full of little things. I sup
pose that is the kind of cheese the pop

"HARD .TIMES."
In the closing paragraph of our last
communication, we attempted to give
some reason w;hy wc could not, by lcgia-
ation, give our people a just, equitable
iiid permanent rate for the ue, Jiirc, or
forbearance of that root of all evil, money,
or its representative, the paper rags
which we now use in its stead, for money
proper has long since ceased to circulate
s mch, but is a commodity of commerce.
nd is bought and sold in all the United
States marts just as cotton, wheat, and
tob.tcco, except in some two or three of
the Pacific State, and there they always
lave the "bonanza" in the money mar
ket, for it is all coin and does not fluctu
ate, a dollar is a dollar, in fact.
Our legislation, it is true, has as a gen
eral rule been damaging and deleteorius
to both agriculture and commerce, and
as been one of the many causes which
ironghton our present financial troubles,
hich has caused business to lag and
wane from JIainc to Texas; but, on the
other hand, it is impossible to recoer
from a financial crisis bv means of legis-
atiun. You may lapofl'aml trim up the
ragged odges, but so long as people giie
and take credit, and have the power to
nvolve themselves in monetary liabilities
eyond their me.ms'of liquidation, so
ong will financial panics be probable and
always lurking in the back ground.
The true preventive is not to be found
in legislation, but in the intelligence, in-
egrity, honesty, economy, and financial
skill of the people generally. We are
not without hope, however, that even in
this direction legislation mar he indirect
ly productive within certain narrow lim
it of useful results. Law cannot create
prudence where it does not exist, but it
may, in some cases, call into action pru-
lencc which now lies dormant. Further
more, there should tic a well-uelined
-trinjrent legal limit to credit. The man
who contracts debts beyond a reasonable
estimate of his ability to meet them, com
mits an act of fraud for which he should
be punished. The law should so regard
it, and make the penalty severe and op
erative. Wake a law to prevent impost
tion and rascality, if possible means for
the detection and puni-hmcnt of fraud,
;ind the industrious honest men who try
to earn an honest living in a legitimate
way will profit thereby. Rid our laws as
much as possible of technicalities, and
thereby von will render them less liable
to the hundred and one constructions
which the courts almost daily put on
them, and then it will be that in most
cases the guilty will be punished, and the
innocent will have the protection thrown
round them as was originally by those
who set our present system on foot in
tended; but it has in modern times been
so much tampered with by legislators, and
so many and often conflicting construc
tions put on it by a judiciary who, we
with shame confess, have not in a few in
stances been corrupted at least there are
grounds for believing such is the case
until our whole system of jurisprudence
has become so mystified and coniplicitcd,
and, in some instances, contradictory
discrepant, and such a mass of undefined
"stufF' that the lawyers themselves know
but little about it, and the most profound
and learned disciples of Elackstone arc
disagreed as to one half the issues of
common law, to say nothing of the Ba?
bel of pettifoggers.
All of our laws should be so framed as
to favor economy and despatch in their
execution, not keep one charged with an
offence incarcerated for years, and in
painful suspense, and at the same time
involving the State in untold thousands
of debt, which we are heavily taxed to
pay. It is our opinion that it would be
well to rcviso and in many respects to
change our entile judicial sstem. This
class of legislation is all that will in any
way help to relie.-e our present or avert
future financial troubles, and this would
necessarily be very slow, but we think
would help some. As before intimated,
we mutt not look to any political or oth
er organizations nor combinations for re
lief, hut, on the other hand, each one of
us must take it home to ourselves, fiist
set our own house to "rights" and thru
by patient industry and economy success
is made doubly sure.
We have too many eoft hands, and if
I wanot afraid I would wound the van
ity of some young aspirants I would add,
soft heads, too. Young America thinks
he knows it all, and he has a great deal
to learn before he is m a condition to
learn anything, and whenever he can be
brought to that point, there will Be great
hopes that he can be started off on the
right foot. To do this, we should at once
go to worlc to improve our common
School System, though the system is not
so much at fault as those whose duty it
is to execute it. As an instance, our
Commissioner rests on his oars, lounges
about Hartford, or pursues some other
avocation, takes no interest in the schools,
does as lit tie as possible just enough to
enable him to "fob" the salary and that
is all he cares for. The trustees are gen
erally inefficient, and a large majority of
the teachers know as little about their
profession, and the art of teaching, as the
little curly-headed urchins they engage to
teach, and a great many of them care
less. This state of affairs should not be
allowed to continue longer, but the stan
dard of teachers should be immediately
raised, both in their aptneis to teach and
in their literary qualifications, and their
moral character should be clearly scru
tinized. Sl'BSCRIEER.
MRS TILTQH'S SIN.
tier liroltit'r Jtaaei a Kinrtliit;
; Ktute-
mens tit lfler C rlmiiiallly.
X. Y. Special to the Chicago Intcr-Occan.
A brother-in-law of Joseph II. Itichards,
who testified in the Beccher trial adverse
ly to his sinter, Jlrs. Tilton, makes a state
ment for publication in the Sun to morrow.
It is regarded in the light of coming di
rect from Richards himself. It i3 as fol
lows: fter little Taul's death, in 1S0S,
Richards frequently met Needier at
Tilton's house. He became impressed.
'jy the general manner of Reedier, tiiat
his visits were not purely pastoral. Final
ly, he went to the Union ollice and dis
closed his apprehensions to Tilton, but
l'ilton was not alarmed. Richards re
mained passive until alter M3. Tilton's
alleged confession to her husbatid. This
time he was incredulous, for he had only
attributed to her breach of propriety with.
out criminality. He, however, influenced
his mother, Jlrs. Morse, to question her.
A few days afterward Mrs Morse report
ed to him that Elizabeth had confessed
adultery with Beecher. He waited, still
disbelieving, for further proof, or for his
sister's denial. In the fall of 1S70
Elizabeth visited his home in Mont Clair,
X. J. Then he told his wife to talk with
Mrs. Tilton about the current stories, but
Mrs. Richards' courage failed whenever
she tried to broach the subject. When
Mrs. Tilton went away, Mrs. Richards
rode with her to the depot. On the way
Mrs. Richards told her sister-in-law what
she had heard from Theodore and Mrs.
Morse, and implored her to tell the truth.
Mrs Tilton, bursting into tears, "confess
ed the crime she had committed with her
pastor. She pleaded the excuse of Paul's
death; of Beecher's tender sympathy in
her allliction; of his great interest in her
occupations; of his encouragement of her
literary aspirations, and of the love she
bore him. She argued that she had done
but little in repayment bv yielding her
body to his request." "I love him," she
cried, "and will die rather than harm
shall come to him." Mrs. Richard
deeply moved, offered such consolation
and advice as she, in her bewilderment
could, and tenderly bade her good -by at
ihe depot. A djv or two later Mrs.
Richards received a letter from Mrs
Tilton, expressive of tiie writer's grief, and
assuring the recipient that, though she
had always loved her as a sister, now she
worshipped her ten thousand times more
for being noble enough to listen to the slo
ry of her sin, understand her position, and
forgive her. This convinced Mr. Richards
of his sister's guilt, and he counseled with
her as to her future course. Their con
vcrsation was unrestrained, and her guilt
often relerred to. His advice was: "Ac
knowledge your transgression and try to
live it down." Yet he then felt that her
love for Beecher would prevent such a
course and, upon her refusal lo obey him,
he ceased his advice. lie seldom saw
her, and their chance meetings ucre un
pleasantly constrained. When he was
summoned before the Plymouth commit
tee he went to Elizabeth and asked what
he should do. She told him he must go;
that ins refusing would be her condemna
tion; but he must tell- nothing. He did
so, refusing to answer the questions put
to him. On the stand in the trial he was
glad only to be asked as to personal know.
edge, and so his testimony was trilling,
lie only told of suddenly opening the
parlor door and finding Beecher and
Elizabeth in an equivocal position.
One day Mrs. Morse, in a fit of anger.
let drop the secret in the presence of
Florence Tilton, who went at once exci
tedly to her mother and begged to know
the truth. Mrs. Tilton then confessed the
facts to her daughter.

ATTENTION,
THE ADVANCE?
This machl-c stands in merit fir ahead of all competitors. In fact there is no machine
fit to be called its competitor. Wo have improved this marhine very much daring the past
year, preserving however, tho mmy points ot excellence wmcn nivo maue u so u serveaiy
fiopular in the past. Wo have replaced tin' Double Wooden Frame by a single one, sub
stituting for the Auxiliary Framo-an iron drag bar, thus making tho machine much lighter
and handsomer, without lessening its strength and durability, and at the same tin.e retaining
ell the hdvantages of the Doublo Frame. e iiavo also improved tne itaEing apparatus, ana
wo have now tho best Rake wo have ever made, which is equivalent fo saying that we have
th.i best in the world.
Farmer 33viyiiig the "..A-cLvance"
saves money by doing it, for the following reasons:
1st. Because, being a strong and durable marhinc. it will outlast at least two of any ot!w
ernu'ie, aud with less cost for repairs during tho same p;riod.
'2nd. Because, by its efficient work, it will have saved during its nso hundreds of bushels
of grain that wvutd have been lot with any other Reaper.
3d. Because, being always reliable aim doing its wprK under all circumstances, 11 win
have saved his own and his binders' time, to s.iy nothing of the saving of annoyance and trou
ble. The best is always the ch,apct.
