Gold ia droaa— [George Arnold- Ohe of the (UulMMuadorH front Morocco .special correspondence of the Atlanta bun. Washington, D. t\, Aug. Id, 1871. Editors of the Sun : Our noble Irigli-toiKil uud patriotic Secretary of the Treasury, who bus more patron age both in the amount of money ex pended and the number of persons ap pointed than any other officer of the Government, and whose praises ure sung daily and nightly by a small ar my of satellites and pensioners, has recently given us a sample brick which illustrates in u very small way the ways llml are dark aiul the tricks that are vain, for which THE AEOHKUAIU NOBLE, III (HI-TO N KI), &c., is peculiar, and in which he soems to take a sjtccial delight fur be yond that of any of liis predecessors. We fear that Mr. Uoutweli has in bis composition a very large share of that element of character which predomi nates iu the traditional Yankee of a generation ago; that is, smartness, by which is meant a capacity to tell enormous lies and break solemn con tracts at will, joined to complete ab sence of anything like conscientious scruples, which makes such practices the supreme pleasure of his life.— We have learned some opposite facts concerning the letting of THE CONTRACT AT SAVANNAH for taking care of sick and disabled seamen, who find themselves brought to that port. The conduct of the Secretary iu this matter is a perfect record of deliberate misrepresenta tion and bad faith. Iu the early summcrproposals were invited, by advertisement in the usual way, for taking care of sick and distressed American seamen at Sa vannah, from July 1st, 1871, to June 30th, 1872. The Savannah l'oor- house and Hospital put in a bid at the rate of 8G cents per diem, or 80 ]>er week. Dr. Walsh, a physician, formerly of Massachusetts, put iu a bid at the rate of 81.43 per diem or 810 per week. No time for closing the bids was advertised, but on in quiry it was learned that the 14th of June was the last day on which they would be received. On the 5th of July THE PRESIDENT OF THE SAVANNAH HOSPITAL received an official communication from T. 1*. Ilobb, collector, stating that the Treasury Department hau awarded the contract to the Savan nah Hospital. He at the same time stated that the contracts were ready for his signature, and asked the Presi dent to call and execute them. Dr. Walsh was notified by some one of the custom-house officials of this award before any knowledge of it came to the authorities of the So van- nan Hospital, lie immediately re paired to Washington, while the con tract, after being signed, was delayed in the custom-house at Savannah sev eral days, it is supposed, to give Walsh time to get to Washington and pre vent its approval by the Secretary, his approval being necessary before 1 it could take effect. COL. ROBB stated that during the following week, say about the 12tli of July, the con tract would be returned approved, when it go into effect. On the 18th of July an American Press Associa tion telegram to Savannah confirmed existing suspicions regarding Walsh’s movements and efforts to upset the award. A gentleman interested in the executed contract went to the Mayor of the city and obtained a cer tificate from him flint the Savannah Hospital was a private corporation, over which the city had no control; that its incorporated numc was the Savannah Poor House and Hospital, but that it was not a “poor house,” and did not receive the. poor as such, lmt only received such of the sick jioor as might lie considered worthy objects of charity. He also further certified that THE havannaii' hospital had held this contract for thirty-five years, auu that the seamen were pro vided for it entirely separate and dis tinct apartments from the pauper pa tients. Ho also certified as to the el- gibility of the location of the insti tution, and the character and eflicicn- •y of the medical and other officers in ■barge of it A certificate was also obtained from the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish Consuls to the effect that they hail always sent the sick seamen of their respective countries to the Savannah Hospital, and that they had never iittend one word of complaint. A certificate from the British Consul to the same effect was also procured. Dr. R. 1). Arnold, an old and most highly esteemed pliyeiciun, also certi fied to his connection with the insti tution for a period of forty-one years, und a largo portion of tliis time as oue of the attending physicians, nc certified os to the modern improve ments and conveniences of the build ing, its facilities for ventilation, 4c., &e. On Wednesday, the 19th of July, Mr. J. n. Johnston called at the of fice of the Secretary and asked the rcatou for (tie delay in the approval of the awarded contract. He further more requested that any objection which the Department might linvo be presented to n.m in writing, which was assented to liy the Secretary. On provided, whether clinical lectures were allowed to students of medicine, etc, etc. To all of these Mr. John ston replied in a most satisfactory manner, and at the same time obli gated himself on the part of the hos S tal to carry ont the wishes of the epartment if they should have any objection to its present system. Mr. Johnston also presented the certifi cates of the Mayor, the Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian Consuls, and that of Dr. Arnold. On Satur day Mr. Johnston and another gen- tk-miai called at the office of the Sec retary of the Treasury, and asked the approval of the oontraet; he de clined to render an immediate decis ion, but said that lie would do so in a few days, yet that very afternoon the papers were made out appointing Dr. Walsh, aud forwarded to Savannah. On the following Monday REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GF.OUOIA PRESS called on Secretary Boutwell and iu quired if anything lmd been done about awarding this contract The Secretary replied emphatically Dial nothing hud been done. On Tues day the same party again called, made the same inquiry, und received the same answer. On Tuesday night, at about 0 p. m., Dr. Walsh informed bis friends at the Ebbitt House that lie hud just learned of his own up- loiutmeut, and that the papers had *eeu sent to Savannah. On the next day (Wednesday) a gentleman quite largely connected with the Southern press, called on Secretary Boutwell and asked him what hail been done with this hospital contract, and re ceived the answer that no action had been taken. LORD! HOW THIS WORLD IS GIVEN TO LYING." Thus a solemn contract, which was simply' a renewal of a practice of thirty-five years standing, was set aside on the pretext that the sramcn were to be mixed with common pau pers, an assumption that was com ’’ — — ... tan ikw uiuM sv im • --- to Engkuul, tuning never seen mow *“[ Thursday, tile ffOlli, Mr. Johnston be taunt 1 there, and olwerwing that the j u t. the Secretary's offloo, hoyt* gathered it up iu their Iiou.Ih, Mill, , ,„ MK , r promuud- Mr. Wmu.m B. lUxd Dei eg unable, c n jti ca oi ventilation, character of from ill health, to writ* Jhebts ot tie whether poor patients were rc- ““ a j&:wUrd/uing-rooms were pletely exploded by the evidence pro duced before the new contract liad been annulled.

On yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, the corner »tone of the Grand Lodge Masonic Hall now being erected iu this city, ou Mulberry street, was laid with most impressive and solemn ceremonies by the Masonic fraternity -M. W. Samuel Lawrence, Grand Master of Georgia, officiating. At the hour named, the resident and visiting Masons, in command of G. W. Gam mage, of Tolbotton, Grand Marshal of the State, emerged from the Mftcon Lodge No. 5, escorted by St Omer Com- mandery No. 2, in fall dress, and in com mand of Hou. Thos. Hardeman, Jr., Oaptain General, and formed line on Second street, and the right resting on Triangular Block. There were in lino about two hundred members of the fra ternity, and in their beautiful regalia, particularly that of the Sir Koights Tem plar, they, presen ted an imposing spec tacle. After forming in line the column moved olT down Chenw street, headed by the colored brass band, to Third street, thence to Mulberry and up that street to the building site of the Temple, where the column halted and the ranks opened in the usual manner, and the Occasional Grand Lodge, formed during the fore noon for the purpose, and headed by the Grand Master passed through the open ranks and under a beautiful evergreen arch erected during the day in front of the building. Soon after the proces sion arrived, and the Grand Master h.al taken his position on the platform near the corner stone, the order of exercises opened with prayer by the Grand Chap lain of the day, Hev. W. JWatkiu Hioks, D. D., of this city. Alter which the following ode was sung by a select choir of ladies aud gentleman, made up for the occasion, and led at the organ by Mr. G. P. Guilford : By choice Sllin*i. lei w* aland, D\ friendship joined, a social band! That love V> aid mankind I In choral numbers Msaona Join, etc. The naked clothe, the prisoner free, Theao aro thy works, awoat Charity! Reveal 'd to as from Heaven. In choral numbers Mason a join, etc. At the oonelamon of the foregoing ode the Grand Matter delivered one of the most able, eloquent and happily con ceived addressee on the aims and objects of Free Maeounr wo over heuad. It woe lixtened to by tlie vent usaembly of ladies aud citizens present in wrapt attention, aud we are sore there wsj not a true Ma son ureseut who did not feel|proud of hit brotherhood, and the noble and benevo lent objects it had in view. The eloquent gentleman closed with thanks to the Supreme Architect that he permitted to uffleiate in laying the corner stone of the Grand Lodge of tho State, and prayed that God would spare his life to witness the completion of tho building and its dedication to the noble service aud purposes of Free Masonry. The following ode was then sung and the exercises closed with tile tienediction from tho Grand Cbaplaiu : 1I.U, MMonry divine t Glory of age* aliiue 1 Long may'xt thou reign: Where o’er tliy lodges ataud, May they have great command, And always grace the laud, Thou art divine!

The ex erciae8 were witnessed by a very large con course of citizens were graded by the presence of hundreds of ladies, numbers of whom could not obtuin positions near enoilgh to the stand to hear what was go ing on. The exercises being over the fraternity reformed aud returned to the Lodge from whence they started, and the vast assembly dis|>ersed. Thus closed the impressive aud imposing ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Grand Lodge Masonic HaiJ of Georgia, a build ing which, when oompleteil ( will not only be a source of pride and credit to the ancient and mystic brotherhood that erects it, but will be an ornament to tho city of Macon and an honor to the Btatc. —Macon Telegraph, 16//*.

Then followed the ooiloqay between the Grand Master and Grand Chaplain of the day, and the premntatiouof the gold and silver vessels, otter which was sung the following ode; Lei there h* light, the Almighty spoka!

Who shadd’at on us thy brightest raja, The Ughl that tils the mind; The London Spectator denies that early rising is really oenefieial. The truth is that late rising in civilized countries is not tho result either of idleness or fash ion, or contempt for hygienic laws, but of a habit based portly upon tho social sys tem of division of lulxir. It is very in convenient for onj society* which is iu any wny inter-dependent to vary its time of rising with the aim, and it, therefore, selects a rough meantime ut which for the greater part of the year there will*!*} a decent measure of davlight. In Eng land tlnvt time is not five, or anything like five, but between eight and nine; and, accordingly, the majority of people who eon do as they like, select that time tor rising, and so enable themselves to act with something like concert. They idl go to business at once insteod of wasting hours in waiting for each other, and all fiuisli at once, instead of burdeiiing the whole class of assistants, clerks, Ac., with different und variable hours. Moreover, they can all go comfortably to work, that is, can economize their strength to the utmost, acute discomfort umiacessaiT^y incurred involving loss of mental j>ower. In England, for eight months in the year, early hoars involve discomfort groat enough to lie iwsitively injurious—if not to health, at all events to mental serenity. Chili is not healthy, and early hours m that climate are chilly and damp, unmiti gated by fire and imsoothed by food ami coffee, none of those aUeviauons being procurable except at the cost of dimin ished sleep for the whole caste of ser vants, who, as it is, need somewliat more time for rest then their masters, and ob tain somewliat less. This might lw cor rected, no doubt, by everybody retiring much earlier to bed; hut tho only cff<»ct of that change would be to shorten the time for rest aud recreation, which is much too short already. Under tho ex isting system, the professional classes can, if they like, work steadily eight hours a day under tho circumstances best calcula ted to economize effort, and yet retain eight hours for food, society and reading, and eight hours for sleep.

Alexan der, Esq., in tho county of Jefferson, when the lightning struck and killed the mule that was drawing tbe cart, also the negro’s dog uud a mocking bird. The surprising part of this occurrence is this: The woman was sitting on the cart, with the bird upon her left side; tho man was on the ground, with his hand upon the cart, aud the dog was lying upon the ground at the root of the tree. The mule and dog woro killed on tho right of the woman. Tho man, who was between the mule and tho dog, was knocked down and severely stunned, and but tor the timely aid rendered by Hquiro Alexander, who was near him, in using remedies, may have never recovered. The woman wus knocked off of the cart to tho left of where she was sitting, but not seriously hurt. Both negroes aro doing well. Four Historic Estates.
