The Savannah Daily Herald
EiMbl(ihmc*t of Negro NiiMnlc LoilgK
In the South.
[From the Richmond Times, 27th.]
We published the other day, with com-
meut, an extract from the Anglo-Africau re
lative to the establishment of negro Masonic
lodges in the South under the alleged au
thority of the Grand Lodge of the State of
New York ; also, an extract front uNew-
bcrn, (North Carolina) paper commenting
upon the establishment ofSone of the lodges in
that towu. In explanation of the matter, we
gladly make room for the following com
munication from a New York Mason :
Richmond, December 22, I860.
“To the Editor of the Richmond Times :
“Sir—In your issue of this morning is
publjshed an article on Freemasonry, con
taining statements in Fegard to the Grand
Lodge of New York which, if true, would
not be very creditable to such an intelligent
body of Masons ; but it is incorrect
“The Grand Lodge of Masous of New
York do not now and never have recognised
colored lodges ; aud the Grand Lodge spoken
of in the extract from the Auglo-African is
no doubt that of the colored people calling
themselves Masons. There is no legal Ma
sonic Graud Lodge in the United States that
I am aware ot which institutes colored
lodges. A New York. Mason.”
WAR DEPARTMENT, i
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and ^
Abandoned Lands. '
Washington, Dec. 22, 1865.
Circular,)
No. 22. ;
The attention of Assistant Commissioners
is called to the report of the Lieut. General,
dated Dec. 18, 1865. The most thorough in
spection will at once be made, aud the evils
complained of corrected. No order from the
War Department makes the Bureau ‘inde
pendent ol the military establishment,” and
Agents should be furnished with complete
instructions, according to the Orders aud
Circulars issued lrom this branch of the War
Department-
Any Agent or Officer who presumes to act
contrary to such instructions will be forth
with removed or reported to the Department
Commander for trial by court-martial.
In all matters of a military character, the
Officers and Agents within a Military Depart
ment are under the direction of the Depart
ment Commander, in the same manner as an
officer of Engineers building a fort in the
same Depnitment, who reports directly to
the Chief Engineer.
Every Assistant Commissioner will con
stantly Beek co-operation with the Depart
ment Commander, and must keep him
furnished with all information in his posses
sion- His formal approval must be secured,
when possible, to all Ordei’9 and Circulars
issued by the Assistant Commissioners.
O. O. Howard,
Major General, Commissioner.
The Detroit Tribune is responsible for the
following important disclosure: “We learn
from an entirely well informed source at
Washington, that all the books and docu
ments left in Canada by Jacob Thompson,
the most active and debased of all the rebel
emissaries in that province, containing bis
correspondence, documents and accounts,
sbowiug the disposition of the rebel funds in
his bands, have been secured, and are now in
the possession of the Government authorities
at Washington. These papers will be of
rare interest, particularly to the frontier
cities, Detroit included, against which a great
portion of the machinations of Thompson and
bis cut-throat gang were directed.”
Married or Not Married.—While a cou
ple were being married in Preston church
the other morning, the mother of the young
lady, who was under age, rushed imo church
aud forbade the wedding. The officiating
minister at once stopped the service and ihe
bridegroom bad pronounced the words,
“With this riog I tbee wed,” declared that
no legal marriage had taken place. Since
then, however, the matter has been discussed
at a meeting of the clergy, and the unani
mous decision they arrived at was, that the
couple had been properly and lawfully mar
ried according to the rites of the cnurcb.
The point is a very ticklish one, aod will
probably have to be settled in the law court.
—Chicago Times.
It is stated that the Falls of St. Anthony
are rapidly undergoing a change; that during
the Spring of 1859 they receded about 250
feet to the middle of the river, and nearly HO
teet further the next Spring. It is not im
probable that in a few years they will he de
etroyed altogether, leaving nothing behind
but a long reach of rolling, tumbling rapids.
—Edward B. Ketchum, the New York de
faulter, who was sentenced in the court of
General Sessions to be confined in the State
prison tor four years aod six months, was
taken on Friday last from the Tombs to Sing
Sing prison, by Sheriff Kelly. The young
man was accompanied from the city prison
by bis father and one of bis brothers.
