WASHiNGTON, July S.-The exccu. tive committee of the National Grange oontiqiued their Eession to. da, in this city. Dr. Worrall, rep. resenting the co-oporativo societies of the Iligh4ands, was introduced to tke committee and subraitted for their con. sideration a proposition for fraternal co-operation botween the Patrons of ilusbandry and tho Co-operators of England. Dr. Worrall has four as hociates en route, who are daily expected, to aid him in effecting his object. A sub-Conimittoe, consist-ug of 1). T. Chase, of Now Rampahire, and J. T. Jones, of Arkansas, was uppointed to take the subjeut under coneidoration and report on Monday iicxt. The committu also had under consideration the removal of the headquarters of the National Grango, but, reached 110 0olusio, Four cities-Nashville, Louisville, Indian. apolis and Ginoinuatti-offer special inducomuents. Cincinnati is especial ly anxious to secure the headquarters, 1anld propoyed to scnd a delegation of prominent citizens to Washington to ca.nfer with the executive committee, but -the latter notified them that they must submit their propositions in writing, and that no delegation would be reoeived. A proposition louking to the improvement of the. business interests of the order was referred to the sub-ounimitteo. The sum of five hundred dollars was dona. ted to-day to the patrons in Colorado suffering from the ravages of the grasshoppers. WAsHING rON, July 4 --The execu tive conaittee of the National Grango yesterday determined to send three of their members, vis : Messrs. Shankland, of Iowa, Chase, of Now 1lipshire, and Jone4, of Arkansas, to represent. the Patrons of ilushandry in the Cotton States Congrei.s, which meets in Raleigh, N. C., on the l3th instant. Time com Ilittee have spent considerable time in roceiving and considering the prOPOSitiou of th3 En1giish co oleritors for a union for commercial purposes of the two bodies. The co Operators are represented by Thomas 1). Worrall, of Alanohoster, England, who is the managiag dirootor of the Coulpany which is proposed as the bond of union. It appears that the British co-operative Atoieties are not a scoret body, hence it will be impos *ible, under existing circumstances, to unitc with the Patrons ; but this <lifiulty has been met by the formna. tion of a trading company, hating the endorsemenit and support of the V united co-operative lodges in Enog land, and fully organined under the English laws. The prepositions are to h ave two branches of' the society, one in England and the other in the United States. T1he board in each .country is to have absolute control of j thr funds subscribed, wbieh are to be used for the purpose of international change of commodities. TI.e capi. tal is twenty-five million dollars, and lal transactions are to be eaah or its equivalent. 'The Blritish co-operators number .500,000 members, and have ove a houandstores,,'ome 50 or 60 cotton spinning mills, about 20 flour ing mills, agricultural and hortica' tural socitios, and a number of umanu 4factures, and, of course, consume a large quantity of American produots. ;The funds subscribed by the English brunch of the company will be em-. ployed in t,he pur,chase of supplies, the ereotin of warehouses, and the 'nanufacture of such articles as are in constant demand among the Patrons of Husbandry. The ship will bring goods to New Orleans or other South ern or Eastern ports if necssary and they desire the Patrons to o-uploy A their portion of the capital in carry. ing the Amiersean staplos and pro dtsto meet the.so ships, and thu, tmake the necessary exchango i[ the most diroet and simple manner, The co-oporators have a large surplni capital, which is constantly on the increase, and which they think car be profitably employed in this trade. While each braneh of the compan3 will have control of-its own affairs the two boards will form a couneil who will, by joint action, decide what branches of business will be engaged in, and define the method and conduci 4 of the same. America will send t< Liverpool to watch the interests o the grangor a branch of the company and the English board will have a 3like r'epresentative in New Orleans while the general supervision will be in the baud@ of the managing director already ele*ted) and who, though an flnglishman born, has been twenty. throe years in Atmorica. The propo sition is regarded with great favor, and it is expected that the sub.oom. maitteo of the National Grange, to wuich the whola matter has been referred, will report on Monday, The Latest Fashion notes. No lady wears a bustle. "Simple" dresses or costumes don't exist, in society, this year. The 'round or shawl shaped fiehu, the ends knotted in front, is one of the successes'of the season. Bonnets of black damask gauze are beginning to appear, trimmed with violets and Valenoiennnes. Iridescent pearl is in high fashion, for Ftanatics, parasol handles, dress and bonnet ornaments, buttons, &c. Polonaises have gone out, and con sequently fine ones in rich raw silk or in silk and velvet that sold for $60 to $75, last year are offered in New York stores for $12 and $15. k,ittle mirrors, for attachment to ladies chatelaines, are made of gold, either chased, frosted, engraved or sct with stones, aud are either round or oval, the latter shape being prof. erable. Very soft, low coiffures are worn in Vars, and nets for the hair are re. vived there ; a few ladies have ap peared in Now York with thin, al most invisible, nets protecting their lovely braided hair. A new and pretty bat for young girls is a tine and flexible Panama, called the "Mai," which is trimmed with pale blue or white damask gauze, a wreath of white thorn, May blossom or hedge roses. Greaadino veils, very long, are ar rang,ed in the fash ion apopted for tulle Veis, last summer. The middle of the veil is passed smoothly over the face, the ends crossed behind the head, thea brought to the front, and tied under the chin. Blue, cream. color and white are most used. The Latest "Affair of Honor." It appears that the Clarke-Alston squabble is to receive additio ial ven tilat'ion in the newspaperi. The At. lanta Herald contains a lengthy "card" fron Gn. A. C. Garlington, Col. Alston's friend, giving his vor. sion of the affair. The gist of it is that when the parties arrived at a house in Alabama, near the border, the second of Col. Clarke left the house, stating he would return in 41fteen minutes, but aft'er a delay of three hours he did not make his appearance, and the Alston narty were informed that the officers of the law were after them. They beat a retrent across the border, but found that there were warrantsout against them in Georgia, also whereupon they returned to Atlanta, and Gen. Garlington announces that his con nootion with the air has terminated. Per contra, the Constitution protal sea i card from Col. Clarke when ho returns, and publishes a despatch stating "Col. Clarke and his friend, after waiting,some time, also left to avoid arrest, though it is thought they are still in the vicinity of the battle-ground," and it is said the Clarke party had shotguns -concealed In the woods. hook on this Pitatrc then on That. ft will be observed by a reference to the prooeedings of the county commissioners that seven constables had their accounts audited and paid yesterday by the proper officers. Of these seven Mr. Meoord has two lend% ing dignity to his offico by their manly presence.

This is too poora county to fatten extra and,anesded constables upon. The Augusta Constitutionalist has received crop reports from nearly every county of Googia.

Hardy Solomon's Broken Bank. LOOKING 1NTO THE AFFAIRS OF THAT ROTTEN CONOERN. The President of this bank was a power, was spoken of for Governor in stead of Chamberlain, and is tikl set up as a dead suro thing for the &Oxt State Treasurer- He was no laggard in the last campaign, and though the Governor may never have touched a bond, and indeed does not deal in mat ters financial, still there was the beat opportunity in the world for those who know the inside of things to buy bonds at 25,,28 and 30 cents, and sell in two months at 45 and 50 cents. If the South Carolina Bauk and Truab Company did not buy bonds in this wise, it did not know its business, that's all. Thq Stote cleared 60 cents on the dollar, and I don't see why other folks with money oouldn'; do likewise. Some folks did not have any money, and !hose are mostly the people who have got lesa now. After the eampaign -jame the struggle in the Legi.lature, and Elliott be. came Speaker. Then cao the fight in which Curdoza was not removed and Dunn was elected. The bill, to make the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company and the Central Na. tional Bank the public depositories was defeated by the veto, and, the Board under the old law appointed five banks, two here and three' in Charleston. Besides his share or some share of the public deposits, most of the county troa.urers were depositing with Hardy as well- as many privato . parties. The State owed him ubout $130,0000, of which there was, as far as I can asoertain, some. $28,000 . on the old $125,000 account still due, $86,000 for peni. tentiary, $ 10,000 for Frasee's account, $5),000 for Lunatic Asylum, and a good deal of Stite paper which he had discounted and was otherwise carrying. It is reasonable to sup pose that the fight last Winter, in which the stability of his bank was severely criticised, had considerably weakened his credit in the North, and no doubt had something to do with this crash. Th:A was $205,000 of Stato money on deposit when the suspension was announced, some $15,. 000 of county Treasurer's nioney and some $25,000 of private deposits. It we rumored that the State Treasur. or would draw on him for $50,000, and that with the load of $130,000 it would stagger the bank. This caus ed a run, and when the check for $10,000 by the Greenville add Co.. lumbia Railroad was dishonored, the bank clotted its doors. Judge Oa penter yebterday, on the application of Attorney -General Molton, appoint. e-d Ron. T. C. Dunn roreiver,, by the consent of 0 D. Melton, ooaunsel for the bank. Among the assets are the following : Slato securities $180,000 Mortgages 76,000 Due by ity of Columbia 20,000 Other securities, eto. 160,000 Total asse(s, $875,000 This is supposed by those best in. formed to be about the amount of the assets. The liAbilities are StalIe depos.its ,105,000 County Treasurers 18,000 Private deposits 80,000 Other debts, say 60,000 Total labiltes, s,y $318,000 Rumor says that ex-Gov. Scott is in for some, $5,500 bonds. R{union, TIreasurer of Groenville, for $8,000 cash ,; Weston, Treasurer Chester field, for $5,000, and others whose names will more fully appear in the report of the receiver. In the meanwhile, Hardy does not seem to he much hurt individually. lHe still has large private resources, and says he will pay every dollar he owes, but that the State will be forced to shoulder this *130,000, which he claims will offset that much of hIs public debt. There is a good deal behind this suspension that the public does not suspect as yet. The grocery is stilt doing an immense business, and Mr. Donaldson says will not be affected in the least by the failure. The pub. lie ef'eot will be to stop paymwent of interest ont the public debt, and leave perhaps not a dollar for public officers until the Legislature meets, It will, perhaps, disturb the funding~ procss and injure the credit of the1 State. It will certainly place the investigation of all this State papoe6 the asoa of the*bank, in the hands of the comnptroller-general. The comnp. troller and his lieutenant, T. P-. Cavs endar, one of the Bonannsc commise' slonors, have been North for the pata rtwo weeks, perhaps . looking uip avi. dence in the Parker oase, and perhapsa net.

Gabriel Max, a Gorman artiet, Is said to have produced a painting with a most extraordinary characteristic. It is a representatiop of the face of the Savior. At a distance the eyes appear to be closed, but as one ad. vancoes they seem to open gradually until they bond upon the spectator a mouruful and pathetio gazo. This remains until the visitor gets quiet closo to the painting, where they are again olosod. It is rumored in Philadelphia that John Westornett, the brother-in-law of one of the abductors of little Charlie Ross, and who was arrested ind conflood some time since as a Oonspirator in the abduction, has mado an important confession as to the noduotion of the boy, which promises well for his recovery though it furnishes no informatioh as to his present whereabouts. In this connection it is worthy of mention that it was one year on Thursday last sinoo.the disappearance of Charlie Ross, since which time every oxpedi eat has been resorted to in order to ascertain. his whereabouts. The ex-Confederate Olonel, Wal ter H. Taylor, of Norfolk Va., and Gen. Win. Barry, commandant at Fortress' Monroo, passed, together through Petersbuag, Va., the othet day on their way to attend the com. menoement exercises at the Virginia Military Institute. The incident furnishes a text for a remark on the part of the Richmond Enquirer - "When Gen.
