The Grand Lodge of Good Templars met
at 9 o’clock a. m. to-day, and resumed the
discussion of the following resolutions touch-
iog the status of the order with the R. W.
Grand Lodge of the world:
Whereas, The Right Worthy Grand Lodge
of the World, at its recent session in London,
passed the following resolution, to-wit:
“Resolved, That all subordinate lodg<s
within the jurisdiction of any Grand Lodge,
whose charier has not been revoked or sus
pended for violation of the constitution of
the order, are entitled to be recognized and
receive the quarterly password; and that the
refusal thereof because of race, color, or
condition, will be a violation of duty and
obligation,” thereby taking out of the hands
of the Subordinate Grand Lodges the question
of jurisdiction, and practically denying the
sovereignty of the State Grand Lodges, at
the same time ignoring the expressed wishes
of this Grand Lodge, and, in effect, endeav
oring to force Abe social equality of the races
upon the Southern people, by giving to the
colored population- right erf-equal mem
bership, and allowing them seats in the
Temperance Councils of any and all States,
in either Grand or Subordinate Lodges,'
therefore.be it
Resolved, That we, the representatives of
the subordinate Lodges of the State of Geor
gia in council convened, do, this day, dissolve
all connection with the Right Worthy Grand
Lodge of the Independent Order of Good
Templars of the world, and retnra to that
body the charter constituting us a Grand
Lodge of that Order.
Resolved, That we hereby resolve our
selves into a Grand Lodge of “Good Tem
plars,” with our Constitution as it is—A
White Man’s Oedeb—striking out only
gpMi parts thereof as acknowledges allegi
ance to any power outside of the Supreme
Power of the Universe, and the delegated
authority emanating from the subordinate
Lodges through their representatives; and
with onr fair name unsullied by social
equality, with the mighty prestige of success
and our motto of Faith, Hope and Charity,
to sustain us through every trial, we will
Stirt.out upon our glorious undertaking with
energies renewed and stronger determination
to do our whole duty and further promote
t ie principles of Temperance.
Resolved, That in severing our connections
with the R. W. G. L. and the Independent
Order of Good Templars, we do so with
sincere regret and with the kindest feelng3
towards them, save in the action causing us
tojtake this step; that all our business trans
actions have been conducted with the kindest
fraternal regard, and that we wish for them
the most abundant success in their laudable
efforts to reclaim the drunkard; but to their
endeavors to force social equality upon this
Grand Lodge, we cannot now, nor ever can
consent.
Resolved, That the present officers of this
Grand Lodge be, and are hereby requested
to continue in their respeclive positions until
such time as an election can be held to fill
the several offices of this Grand Lodge as
now constituted.
Resolved, That as soon as a G. W. T- C. is
el cted he be instructed to appoint a commit
tee of five to confer with the Grand Lodges
of the several Southern States, with a view
to the formation of a R. W. Grand Lodge.
A heated discussion ensued of several
hours length. Finally a temporary suspen
sion from all connection with the Right
Worthy Grand Lodge of the World was
passed amid the wildst enthusiasm.

Friedrich August Wilhelm Karl, late
Duke of Brunswick, who died last month
at Geneva, Switzerland, was born at Brans-
wich, October 30, 1801. Succeeding his
father, under tutelage, in 1815, he took
into his own hands, on the nineteenth an
niversary of his birth, the government of
his little dnkedom, containing then as nOw
a population about half that of the city of
Brooklyn. He was not liked by the peo
ple. His eccentricities were too marked
to suit his solid and stolid subjects; so in
September, 1830, they rose in revolt against
him. Hastily collecting the family plate,
the vast stores of gold and silver belong
ing to the treasury, and the valuable gems
which had adorned the persons of a long
line of Brunswicks, he songht safety in
flight, and never afterward attempting to
regain his sovereignty, made his abode in
Paris, London, and other capital?, as hio
fancy dictated.
Possessed of almost boundless wealth
and inheriting a noble name, the joung
exile had unlimited opportunities to make
himself honored. His income was no less
than
85,000,000 a tear,
and he owned the finest collection of jew
els ever brought together oy a private per
son. He was accomplished and witty; but
with ail his opportunities he was not look-

Xl-VBFlSITfy,
The Sultan of morocco.
A cable telegram from London, under date
of yesterday, announces the death of His
Imperial Highness Sidi-Mohamet, Saltan—
styled by Europeans Emperor—of Morocco.
He acceded to the chief power in the year
1859. His reign was troubled almost contin
uously by internal factions and factious out
breaks and the diplomatic pressure of sev
eral of the Old World Great Powers. His
Majesty bore the sovereign title of “Lord of
the True Believere,’ ’ but was ordinarily style d
by his subjects Seid-na (Our Lord.) He married
in his youth a French woman, Virginie Lan-
tenier, who subsequently became Empress of
Morocco. She is a native of Chaley, near
Dole (Jura,) where she was born on the 20th
November, 1820, in a poor cottage. She
went with her parents in 1834 to Algeria, and
the whole family were taken prisoners by
the Moroccans. Her father was killed and
her mother died a short time afterwards.
The captors, dazzled by the great [beauty of
Yirginie, spared her, and by a concurrence
of romantic circumstances the Emperor’s
son—just now deceased—fell in love with
her and made her his wife. The Empress has
since sought out and brought her three sis
ters to the Moroccan Court, to which they
are attached. An English Consular report,
published a few years since, on the home
condition and commerce of Morocco, con
cluded with the following words: “When
the rulers of the country shall be possessed of
intelligence and energy and guided by a
spirit of justice, and shall evince some appre
ciation of the benefits of civilization, Moroc
co may be expected to take a higher place
amoDg commercial nations; but, until then,
its capabilities will continue to be neglected,
public order will continue to be disturbed,
industry will languish and trade anu com
merce be paralyzed.”

Europe were closed against him. For forty
years he was more talked of that*, any othe.
man of the century, but ntver in words
of respect or praise. He was a sort of
mountebank in the eyes of the worla—an
over-rich. clown, remarkable-only for his
fortune and his follies. He was a desper
ate gimbler, spent thousands upon thou
sands on balloons, horses, wines and wo
men; but with all his lavish expenditure of
•money he secured but few friends, and up
to the time of his death was ojmost alone
in the world. . .
Chanes of Brunswick was one of the
most accomplished epicures in Europe, and
as a judge of wines he bad few equals and
no superiors. His dinners were models of
taste, am 1 his .company wild and witty like
himself; but the svmposiarch was /never,

FEAT. OF BEING POISONED.
His precautions agaiost coming to his
death by deadly drugs were of so peculiar
a nature as to make him the laughing stock
of Paris and the object of all London’s
unbounded disgust. His cooks Were bound
by solemn oath to serve him faithfally;
paid detectives were employed to watch the
cooks; other detectives kept an eye on
these; and to make assurance doubly suie,
every dish sent from the kitchen to his ta :
ble was locked under the eye of his trusts

Dnke Charles was the ward and kinsman
of two kings of England—George 3Y and
Wihiam IV—and an intimate friend of
Louis Napoleon before he became Empe
ror of the French; but at the Cotut of St.
James and at the Tuiieries he was never a
welcome gnest. The high moral tone of
the former was shocked at the dreadfnl
stories that were wafted from all quarters
concerning the Duke’s recklessness; and at
the latter, although the Toileries could
hardly be set as an exaniple of propriety
and purity, he was received with a cool
ness bordering on rndeness; and on more
than one occasion was positively insulted.
But Charles always stood up for the Em
pire, and it was only when it made way
for the repnbbc, so-called, that he disap
peared from France and betoos himself to
Switzerland, where his useless, wasted life
came to an end.
The will of the eccentric Duke was
opened at the Registry office in Geneva,
August 10. It directed that the body
should be examined by five medical men
to determine whether or not dfeuth had
been caused by poison; and that after the
post-mortem examination the remains
should be embalmed or petrified. Provis
ion was mads for a princely funeral and
fer the erection of a costly mausoleum in
which the body should be deposited. This
mausoleum, the will directed, should be
modeled after the Scaglieri tomb at Vero
na, one of the most magnificent specimens
of the sculptor’s art extant, and should
contain an eqnestrian statue of the Duke,
with staines of his father and grandfather
in bronze and marble. Testamentary ex
ecutors were forbidden to make any com
promise with the Duke’s relatives. Prince
William of Brunswick, the ex-King of
Hanover, his son, the Duke of Cambridge,
or any other member of the family, and
were enjoined to endeavor to obtain pos
session of what should remain of the
property of the Brnnswiok family in Han
over, Prussia, and elsewhere. All the
Dnke’s landed and personal property, in
cluding his jewels, the celebrated onyx
vase, and the property retained at Bruns
wick since 1830, was bequeathed to the
city of Geneva.
A MB. SMITH,
an Englishman, was named as administra
tor general, and was to receive a bequest
of $200,000. The will was dated Geneva,
March 5,1871, and was written and signed
by the Dake. The real property left is
valued at $5,000,000. The instructions as
to the disposal of the body have all been
obeyed. The foneral was observed on the
29th ult. The car used to bear the re
mains to the vault, is the same, says Qal-
ignani’s Messenger, that bore the remains

eccentric Prince, the Duke of ■ Brunswick*
made the Prince Imperial liis sole legated,
thus leaving his millions to the heir of (a
civil list of a million a year. He informed
the Emperor of this intention and forward
ed to'him a schedule of liis many invest
ments. -It was this schedule found at the
Tuiieries, among .the Emperor’s private pa)
pers, by the insurgents of the 4th of Sep
tember. that gave rise to the fable of the
hoarded wealth which Napolebn is said to
have placed in English, Dutch and other se
curities. Since the-Emperor’s death it has
been proved how poor a man he died. Not
the least singular part of the story is that,
immediately on the fall of the Empire the
Duke of Brunswick revoked the disposition
of his vast fortune—which would now in
deed be invaluable to one who has hut little
more than a great name for inheritance—
and cast about for some other object suffi
ciently and securely wealthy to justify the
demise of further riches. He was residing
at the flourishing city of Geneva, and it
seems to have struck him that the ancient
Swiss republic was possessed of a vigorous})
and stable existence, and Geneva of abun-'
dant resources. . Accordingly, on the 5th of
March, 1871, carefully excluding all Ms rel
atives, he devised the whole of his real and
personal estate to that city, subject only to
the charge of a princely funeral and” the
erection of a magnificent mausoleum, in
which his embalmed or petrified remains are
to he entombed amid statues of bronze and
marble.”.
THE KNAVE OF DLVMONDS.
The Duke was a great diamond fancier
and one of the shrewdest diamond dealers.
By the people with whom he came in social
contact he was colled the King of Diamonds,
but the Israelites with whom lie dealt, and
who found it impossible to get the better of
him in a bargain, called him the Knave of
Diamonds. So accurate was his knowledge
of the various kinds, and so well acquaint
ed had he become by experience with modes
of dealing practised by the various diamond
merchants, brokers and peddlers, through
out Europe, that he felt perfectly secure in
trading with the most knowing of the tribe.
The collection of precious stones that he
‘conveyed” from the palace of his fathers—
and to which he had no legal title, perhaps—
was already a large and valuable one; hut
the Duke was not satisfied. He wanted
more, and immediately after going into exile
began to practice as au amateur collector.
He at first bought small diamonds of two
or three carats, but as his experience and
means increased—for Ms immense revenue
, years ago, and that is undoubtedly true,
ince tlie persons interested never contradic-
it, will serve as a fitting colophon to the
sketch of this remarkable man’s career.
One Levy, a wealthy London, jewel dealer,
iwjied, among a large number of most val-
able pearls, a large pear-shaped drop of re-
tarkable size and weight. But for a single
iw—a dark grayish ring that encircled it—
would have been exceedingly valuable,
ivy had had frequent dealings with the
ke of Brunswick, to whom he was in the
jit of exhibiting whatever rare or beauti-
gems he had purchased. Failing to dis-
>e of the Hawed pearl he took it to Paris
id showed it to the Duke. “I will give
a 2,000 francs for it,” said the Duke,
five me 2,500 and. you shall have it,” re-
ied Levy. The Duke refused, and after
"’.\chaffering and swearing, in which
*•'- riqjg. indulged ad libitum, the jeweler
Hi,;; '

workman’s hands ;Y- marvel of beauty, and
worth now five times the price at which it
had been held. Not finding a purchaser in
London, Levy took it again'to Paris and ex-
ultingly showed it to the Duke, without,
however, telling Mm that the pearl was the
same they had chaffered about before.
“IVhat is your price?” said the Duke. “Just
12,500 francs,” said Levy; and to his aston
ishment the sum Was paid on the spot, with
out a moment’s hesitation. The secret was
soon explained. That evening tlie jeweler
sought his customer at a cafe and taunted
him with having paid for the pearl five times
as much as he could have bought it for two
months before. “Tcnez,” said the Duke
quietly, as he drew a jewel case from his
pocket. “See here. Do you tMnk, you ras
cal Jew, that I do not know my business ?’’
So saying he opened the casket and exhibit
ed to the chagrined dealer two gloriously
beautiful pearls—exact matches—one of
which he knew had bfcen Ms that very day.
“Yolia!” said the Duke, with a grin and a
cfiuckle that shook his fat body like a hag
'of jelly; “wMch is your pearl, mon ami ?
and what is it worth now ?”
The cunning Duke had been for years
searching .for a match for his pearl, and he
had secured one at last at less than one-half
what he expected and was willing to pay
for it. ’ -

purchases of larger and more costly gems.
His peculiar liking seemed to be for pear-
shaped diamonds, wMch he purchased sing
ly at moderate prices and matched by pairs.
Then their value was trebled and quadru
pled. He soon became noted as the holder
of choice gems, and whenever a great dealer
wished to match a diamond he was sure to
come to the Duke at last, and pay to him for
the coveted stone many times the original
price. He was a hard dealer. "\Vhen a jew
eler in an embarrassed condition found it
necessary to ofier his gems to the Duke, the
the princely dealer was never known to he
magnanimous or liberal, but invariably took
advantage of the poor man’s distress to pur
chase Ms wares at much less than their real
worth.
A volume of anecdotes concerning the
Duke as a diamond dealer might easuy be
collected from the hooks and journals of his
time; hut among them all not one will be
found in whichne figures as a victim. A

How matters stand between the farm
ers and manufactures is illustrated as follows
by the Paris (111.) Gazette: *‘A farmer drop
ped into a grocery store in this city a few
days since, and the grocer was showing him
some canned corn, which he said was very
nice—equal to the fresh corn. ‘How do you
sell it?’ asked the farmer. ‘Thirty-five cents
a can.’ ‘Let’s see,’ says the farmer; ‘there is
about a pint in that can. Thirty-five cents a
pint for your corn. That will take about a
bushel and a half of my corn to buy a pint
of yours. I guess I won’t invest.’”
The Centralia (III) Democrat, says the
farmer’s Central Association of Centralia,
have a purchasing agency connected with
their Association, allowing the agent five per
cent, commission for sales on manufacturers’
prices for agricultural implements. The
territory of the Association is tMrty miles
square, and within that limit there are twelve
business points. The value of implements
sold the past season amounted to $93,530.
The average commission received by agents
heretofore, has been 80 per cent, and so his
commission on this amount of sales at 30 per
cent.,would be $28,050. But at 5 percent.,
the prices agreed on between the Association
and the purchasing agent, his commissions
only amount to $4,t>75 50. Thus the farm
ers, within the thirty miles square, have
saved through this purchasing agency $28,-
382 50, being the difference between $28,059
and $4,676 50; and it may be proper to state
that none of the above figures cover the sales
