Secretary.

[The following was received from Bro. Aiken, just before the last form went to press.-SECRETARY.]

The demand by the National Grange that the Proceedings of the Fifteenth Session should be published with dispatch, and the separation of the members of the Executive Committee to distant sections of the Union, have made it impracticable for the Court of Appeals to render a decision in time for these Proceedings, upon the inquiry of Bro. Eshbaugh, found on page 148 and the resolution of Bro. Sims, found on page 151.
