Plymouth, Mass , June 30.?Ono of the most destructive forest conflagra? tions ever known in New England is now raging here, in the wooded portion of Plymouth County. It began on Friday, the 20th instant, and has increased daily iu magnitude and fury ever since. A small thunder shower, this afternoon, has had the effect to somewhat check its speed, bat unless there is more rain, the fiery demon threatens a devastation of the country soaroely less in extent and.. deatruotiveneBS than the famous West? ern fires.

Washington, July 2 ?The organiza? tion known as "The Patrons of Hns bandry," in Washington, iu 1867, and the National Grange, was organized in December of that year in this city. The objects of the order, as announced iu the seoond oiroular, were to advanco edu? cation, to elevate and dignify the occupa? tion of tho farmer, and to proteot its members against the numerous combina? tions by which their interests are injuri? ously affected, and for protecting, by all available means, the farming* interests from fraud and deoeptiou of every kind. The Booial feature is to mako ooantry homes and country sooiety attractive, refined and enjoyable, aud to balance exhaustive labori by instructive amuse? ments and accomplishments.

The head? quarters are in Georgetown, District of Columbia, where all the business of the National Grange is transacted. Over 500,000 of tracts or pamphlets, princi? pally of addresses delivered from time to time in fartheranoo of tho order, were sent out last year, together with occa? sional circulars of a confidential charac? ter.

Grasshopper Devastations.?Reports from North-western Iowa state that tho grasshoppers are still working serious damage to tbo crops in that locality.

Fbllow-Citizens: I have been made the subject of ungracious and illiberal observation huro and elsewhere, because of my support of resolutions recommend? ing a closer union of all the members of tho permanent population of the State, to promote faithful administration and wise and provident legislation. The ends proposed are not ouly unobjection? able, bnt patriotic and praise-worthy. The complaint is of the means. Those means consist in a candid and frank ac? knowledgment of constitutional aud legal facts, which nono can douy, ond the con? forming of our conduct to those provi? sions of the existing Constitution of the State of Louitiauo, which arc as follows: "Art. 13. All persons abajl enjoy equal rights and privileges opon any convey? ance of n public character; and all places of business or public resort, or for wbioh a liceuse is required by either State, pa? rish or municipal authority, shall be deemed places of a public character, and shall be opoued to the accommodation aud patrouHgo of all persons, without distinction or discrimination on accoput of oolor. "Art. 135. All children of this State, between the ages of six nud twenty-one, shall be admitted to the publio schools or other places of learning, sustained or established by the State, iu common, without distinction of race, color or pre? vious condition." These articles have boeu enforced by logi.-latiou, which gives to nuy party whose rights tborenuder have boeu de? nied, "aright of action to rocover any damages, exemplary as well as actual, wbiah he may sustuiu, bufote any- court of competent jurisdiction." It cannot, then, be denied that all tho citizens of tho State buvo been placed upon terms of equality iu their civil aud political re- | latious. No preference is given on ac? count of complexion, oapaoity, employ? ment, pursuits or the holding of pro? perty to any individual or class. The superiority that the possession of these may attain, depends upon the voluntary recognition by persons differing in com- I plexion and capacity, and of different employments and degrees of education. The suffrage of every man of lawful age is to be countod at every election as of the same value. My proposition is, if possible, to unite these various condi? tions of men into a common effort to improve tbo condition of tho State; to remove, if it can be done, all questions that are special to any of these condi? tions from the coutest, and to fix tho hearts of all upon higher uud more im? portant aims. The Btrlfe, hostility, dis? trust and ostrangement that have followed from such questions, have placed our State under the oootrol of the depraved, dishonest, over-reachiug and corrupt. Tbo reputation of the State has suffered, its credit blasted, its finances disordered, Us honor stained, und public and private prosperity retarded nnder the influence of the strife aud tho use made of it by the artful and selfish adventurers, who have employed power to accomplish these disastrons results. Iu our distract? ed condition, after the general elections of last November, we appealed in vain to Congress for relief; the Administration has, moreover, throwu its powerful influ? ence on the side of our oorrupt, usurp? ing State Government, and we can evi? dently hope for no assistance from our sister States. We must, therefore, look only to onrselvea for salvation, which can only be secured by making a firm alli? ance with all classes of our population, to rid aa of those vampires who are suck? ing the very life-blood of onr pecjde, whites and blacks. It is manifest that nothiug but the for bearanoo of the colored people prevents them from subjecting common carriers, and all keepers of placeB of public re sort, to such losses and annoyances as would speedily oompel tho practical ao- { knowledgment of their rights or the abandonment of business A multi? plicity of suits, the result of which (?o fur as our State courts are concerned) could not bo doubtful, would soon ex? haust the endurance of the most violent prejudice. Meanwhile, during a series of yearn, thu obstinate denial of these claims of our colored fellow-citizens by the whites has beeu tho means of urriy-. iug whites and black-*, almost solidly, in bitter political hostility against each other. It has driven tho blacks into an unnatural coalition with a horde of un? scrupulous adventurers, who have thus I secured the political power of the cdiu- | monwealth. How have they used it? | To what u sad condition have thoy not reduced the State. It is an oft told tale, which I, a son of Louisiana, holding her honor dourer than "the ruddy drops which visit this sad heart," have no dis? position to repeat. I may be mistaken in supposing thai a (rank and cordial couceisiou of abso? lute and practical civil, as well as politi? cal equality between all citiz?:U?, without discrimination, on account ol race or j color, as proposed iu this movement, would remove the last barrier which opposes tho political co-operation of good men, of whatever color, for the regeneration of tbo State; bnt I am earnest in my conviction thutl am not mistaken. Experience ijecnu', at all ovents, to have demonstrated two propo? sitions quite conclusively, viz: 1. That without such oo operation tho redemp? tion of the Stuto is impracticable. 2 That such co operation cannot bo seen red on any other terras. Besides, I am pro? foundly convinced that no sound ami hiating system of political philosophy can be constructed nuder existing facts in Louisiana, at least which doos not recognize such equality. Every such system must square itself so as to cou sidt iu all its expressions and implica? tions with tho fundamental fact of im? partial suffrage. When we are asked why wo refuse to admit colored people ! to the enjoyment of public privileges on iu footing of equality with other citizens, it is uot sufficient to say that in so doing I we merely exercise a right f please buyers. Our i Stock is by far the 'largest of any in the I State and all fresh and desirable. R. C. SHIVER & CO. I R. <; SHIWR. D. JOSES -J H. DAVIS.
