The Ucorfla IHaaonlc Mutual Lite
Imurauce Company,
For eomo time we have thought of
devoting a short article to this, we coneoivo
to be, best insurance company now within
our knowledge. It is really and truly a
mutual company, every member of which
is a stockholder of the company, and a
beneficiary far beyond his premiums paid
in, even if along life should bo his. We
could mention cases that have occurred
already in this city, whero the benefits
arising to the families of deceased brethron
has been realized beyond peradventure ;
The company is represented in this city by
Brethren W, J. Pollard and C- F. Lewis,
members of the Board of Directors, who
will cheerfully enlighten all Master Masons
in good standing of the aims and objects,
the organization of the company, and its
executive officers, who reside at the city of
Macon, where the annual meetings of the
company* are held on Thursday after the
last Wednesday in October in each and
every year.
“Georgia State Lottery.”
This institution is probably a swindle 1
It pretends to have been gotten up for the
benefit of the “Masonic Orphans’ Home,” to
be located in the city of Atlanta—and we
are anxious to know and to have some one
inform us where the large sums of money
that must have been received from the
pockets of the ignorant and unsuspecting
since the commencement of its opera: ons—
has gone to? Where is the “Musoi-i
Orphans’ Home” erected? How •,y
orphan children of Masons have hem
received iu this Home ? How many of this
destitute class have been relieved from want
and distress by this grand speculation of a
few men who would “steal the livery of
Heaven, to serve the devil in ?” The
Grand Lodge of Georgia, if we are not
misinformed, has repudiated the concern,
which was right; and it is what every other
Mason ought to do. Our observation is,
such institutions are a curse to the people of
every community in which they are located,
and we only wonder that any “mock human
ity’’ should influence State Legislatures to
grant such a franchise to any parties or for
any purpose. When the new Constitution
of Georgia becomes a fixed fact, as it will
most assuredly, then Lotteries will no more
curse our State or our people.
Tlic Public Schools.
Superintendent Calvin has kindly furnished
us with the following Rules and Regulations
adopted by the Board of Education of the
County of Richmond :
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
At a meeting of the Board of Education,

of the boys and girls shall be kept separate,
in alphabetical order ; and said book shall

Education.
Below we have the correction of a mistake
we unintentionally made on yesterday in
writing of the Frcedmen’s Schools in this
city, and we are pleased to be set right by
Mr. Warner, the Superintendent, as follows,
viz :
American Missionary Association, )
Mission Home, >
Augusta, Ga., April 3, 1868 )
Editors of the National Republican :
Slits: Permit me to correct a statem .t
which appeared in your issue of this morn
ing, under the head of “Board of Public
Schools:” “That in the Freedmen’s Schools,
there arc some 1)00 children receiving the
benefits of schools, under the auspices of
the Bureau.” There are no schools in tho
city of Augusta under the auspices of the
Bureau. The American Missionary Asso
ciation, whose Headquarters are at 53 John
street. New York, has under its care some
900 pupils in the city of Augusta.
This Society has aire -dy spent $22,000 on
the schools of this city, besides a large
amount which has been expended in food,
clothing and rent, in supplying the imme
diate necessities of the poor. And in not a
few instances have the whites shared in these
charities. Hundreds of dollars have been
speut in this way, drawn from the private
purses of those whose hands have personally
administered to these wants. Nor are these
benefactions confined to the city of Augusta.
The American Missionary Association,
whose funds are wholly made up by benevo
lent contributions at the North, is support
ing to day, 111 Teachers and Missionaries in
the State of Georgia, to say nothing of the
vast number sustained in all the other South
ern Stales. Credit to whom credit is due.
Yours, respectfully,
J. K. Warner,
Supt. Mission Schools, Augusta, Ga.
Samuel Gilman Courteney, Eiq.,
Os Charleston, S. C., died on Thursday
morning last at his residence in Charleston,
S. C., aged 43 years, after a very brief illness,
the cause of which we find in the Daily
News and append to this notice. We will
only remark that Mr. Courtenay tvas engaged
in the Book trade, was an Alderman of the
city, President of the Hibernian Society,
and had filled various public offices with
honor to himself and pleasure to the com
munity, of which he was a much cherished
member:
The immediate occasion of his last illness
was the performance of one of those acts of
philanthropy for which he was ever ready.
In passing a private residence on Broad
street, about a week ago, his attention was
attracted by the confusion and fright which
had been occasioned by the explosion of a
lamp. Hastening to the scene of the acci
dent he busied himself actively iu averting
further damage, and in his efforts became
rather heated. On returning to the street
he encountered a current of cold air, to the
effect of which is attributed the origiu of the
congestive chills which caused his death.
Thus cut down in the prime and vigor of
his manhood, his loss will be deeply felt and
regretted in our community, where his life
had beeu recognized by all as that of a good
and eminently useful citizen.

The National Hotel.
It is a matter of considerable interest to
Atlanta and the travelling public to know
that Mr. E. B. Pond has again taken the
National Hotel, and is ready to play “Mine
Host” to his old friends, and as many new
ones as will honor his house with patronage.
While he had charge of the National before,
it was kept most acceptably to tho people.
Ilis table was always well supplied, and his
rooms kept in neat and cleanly style. It
was a most agreeable home like hotel, and
we have no doubt he will keep it now us he
kept it before. —New Era.
We are glad to see again, the smiling face
of our friend E. B. Pond, in tho office of the
National. Pond knows how to keep a hotel,
and we kuow the National will be in the
future, what it was in the past under his
administration, a first class hotel.— Opinion.
We endorse the above notices in full. If
Mr. E. B. Pond don’t know exactly how a
Hotel should be managed for the comfort
and pleasure of his guests, then we don’ 1
think other iolks need to try their hand.
Neatness, cleanliness, good food well cooked,
comfortable rooms and good attention,
certainly are the best recommendations that
a hotel keeper should desire, and these
things Mr. Pond is eminently popular for
having about him.

Couaecratioa of Hie Illstiop of the
Diocese of Georgia.
The solemn and imposing ceremonial of
the consecration of the Rev. John Watrus
Beckwith, D. D., late Rector of Trinity
Church, New Orleans, elected to fill the
vacancy in tho Diocese of Georgia, occa
sioned by the death of the lamented Bishop
Elliott, took place in St. John’s Church
yesterday, and wasettended by distingushed
clergymen of the Episcopal Church of other
cities, the Protestant clergymen of our city,
and a large concourse of citizens.
Attracted by the interest of the occasion,
long before the commencement of the
services, the church was densely crowded.
Little after eleven o’clock the procession of
laymen, ministers and bishops entered the
church, while the choir, comprising some
fifty persons, ranged on either side of the
altar, chanted the lxxxiv psalm. The
procession moving up the centre aisle,
advanced toward the altar, when the
laymen and vestrymen of Christ and St.
John’s churches took seats on the right
hand side ; the ministers, about forty in
number, taking their places immediately in
front of the altar. The five Bishops, whose
presence added to the impressiveness of the
solemn ceremonial, advanced and took
seats within the chancel, the Bishop elect
taking his seat within the railing. The
rectors, ministers and bishops were appro
priately robed in their sacred vestments.
The following is a copy of the printed
order of exercises :

Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, delivered
the conaecralive sermon, his text being the
loth and 16th verses, 3d chapter ofSt. Paul’s
Epistle to Timothy. The sermon was elo
quent and impressive, catholic in spirit,
affording a lucid exposition of the doctrines
of the Protestant Episcopal Church. At
tho conclusion of the sermon, Doctor Beck
with advanced to the chancel, when he was
received by Bishops Wilmer, of Louisiana,
and Atkinson, of North Carolina, by whom
lie was presented to the Presiding Bishop,
Green, of Mississippi, and the associate
Bishops.
Tiie Rectors in attendance read the call of
the Macon Convention, also of the Standing
Committee of the Parishes in the Diocese of
Georgia, certificates of high character from
Committees of Parishes in the Diocese of
Florida, and the certificate from the Bishops
of the United States. The Litany was then
chanted by Bishop Young of Florida, the
responses by the choir and the congregation.
The Bishop elect recited his pledge, and was
examined in accordance with the rules of
the Church by Bishop Greeu. The Veni
Creator was then chanted by Bishop Young,
and sang by the choir. The “Imposition of
Hands” was then performed. The Bishop
elect, after receiving the Bishop’s gown and
and surplice, knelt while the five Bishops
placed each a hand upon his head, Bishop
\oung pronouncing a benediction. This
solemn ceremony over, the Bishop rose, ad
vanced arid took his place among the Bishops-
At the close of these solemn ceremonies,
alter a portion ot the audience had retired,
the Sacrement of the Lord’s Supper was ad
ministered, and with Gloria Patri , and
Gloria in Excels is by the choir, and tho bene
diction, the beautiful and impressive service
closed.
flic Bishops present on the occasion were
Bishops Young, of Florida; Wilmer, of
Louisiana; Wilmer, of Alabama ; Atkinson,
of North Carolina; Green, of Mississippi ;
the latter being the presiding liishop.
The Missionary meeting at Christ Church,
in tho evening, was au appropriate close to
the interesting ceremonies of consecration
and installation.
The Church was crowded to its utmost
capacity.
The Rev. Mr. Clark, ol Augusta, advo
cated the cause of Missions in au able and
forcible address. He was followed by
Bishop Wilmer, of Louisiana, and Bishop
Beckwith, who made eloquent and earnest
appeals in behalf of the Mission fund. The
amount contributed 4y the large congrega
tion, we understand, was about two tlioua
and dollars.

the dots are close at baud.
Nxuro Votes.— The so-called Democracy
are moving heaven and earth all over the

“Although the devil be the father of lies,

A great man once said: “Never chase a

When Dingy is defeated in his plans of
electing Irwin, he declares those defeating

Murderous Outrage at Tuscaloosa.
We arc reliably informed by a party just
from Tuscaloosa, that Mr. Randolph, editor
of the Monitor, has just murdered a freed
man with a bowie knifej We expected as
much from the blood-thirsty articles in that
atrocious rebel sheet. Now, what will the
military authorities do in this ease ? We
have full confidence in Gen. Sheppard, and
hope that ho will speedily investigate this
matter, and bring the guilty party to imme
diate punishment by a military commission.
If turned over to the civil authorities escape
from proper punishment may be considered
a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Allen A. Williams, colored register,
informs us that he was taken out by a por
tion of the Ku-lvlux Klan, of Tuscaloosa, a
few days ago, which outraged his person in
au infamous manner. He bears numerous
marks of their treatment, and is in this city,
where he has made a proper representation
to Gc-n. Sheppard. In their flight, the Ku-
Klux left several of their sheets.—Mont

Some days ago a gang of Ku-Klux left
documents at the house of Patrick Haney,
a loyal man, living near Waverly, Tenn.,
warning him to leave the country; but he
paid no attention to the notice, and went on
with his work. Subsequently a large
company of men, disguised and armed,
dragged him out of his house, about mid
night, carried him to a creek three miles
distant, tied a rope round his neck, and
dragged him up and down the creek,
pulled out his hair and beard, kicked and
whipped him, and left him lying insensible
in the woods. He was found the following

Washington, D. C., April 3d, 1808.—
There was no legislation in either house.
The Court resumed the evidence regarding
the President’s speeches delivered to the
Committee ot the Philadelphia Convention,
asserted by the press aa a copy corrected by
Col. Moore, the President’s Private Secre
tary, and one was introduced from ihe orig
inal stenographic notes, which was admitted.
The Cleveland speech was next taken up.
Cbnse ruled against the admission of the
Cleveland leaders. The version, as published,
was a condensation from long hand notes.
Drake appealed. The appeal was sus
tained—3s to 11. Johnson and Norton
voting aye, and Trumbull nay. Two other
versions of the Cleveland speech were ad

Washington, D. C., April 3.—Strong,
the alleged fugitive from Virginia (formerly
released by Judge Fisher, on the ground
that Yirginia was no State, and subse
quently arrested on a requisition from
Genera! Schofield) was discharged. The
discharge was based on a defection in the
papers. It was not shown that Strong was
a fugitive from justice. Interesting points
were not discussed, though incidentally
Carter designates Schofield as Executive of
Virginia.
The District Attorney, Gen. Carrington,
will have Strong rearrested when he can
obtain a more complete requisition.
Advices from Paraguay indicate important
successes. The allied forces are in the roar
of Hurnartce. The allies have forty thousand
men, fourteen iron elads, and twenty wooden
vessels. The Paraguans have hut twelve
thousand men. Obstructions prevent the
approach of the vessels.
Uragua advices state that President Flores
was killed. The Minister of War was elected
as Fiores’ successor.
Further Paraguay advices say the allies
stormed the redoubt at liuneaita after a
desperate resistance, capturing fifteen heavy
guns and large stores.
The House of Commons is divided on the
