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s within the jurisdiction of any Grand Lodge, whose charier has not been revoked or sus pended for violation of the constitution of the order, are entitled to be recognized and receive the quarterly password; and that the refusal thereof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. SOUTHEBN CONVENTION. A Convention of all the Grand Lodges of the South is called to deliberate on the situation. INSTALLED. The new Grand officers were installed to night, after which Judge Underwood and Mr. Hickman addressed a brilliant audience of the elite of the city. ECHUTZENFE8T. A grand military parade of the Schutzen- fest to-night. 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- phulia.

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.” Mercer University wis incirporatel in was removed to Macon in July, 3671.

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, happy qyeu in ll\e eDioNunent • “ It impperts ic»oy that gcfla cotjld'buy. He was con stantly tortured by' the j 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 iest servant. 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.

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,;; ' cepthd, an d the peftrl enme! forth from the 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. ’ - from rents was not allowed him by the Gov eminent of Brunswick until 1835—lie made Alabama News.

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.

The “Patrons of Husbandry” have been so successful out West that some strong-minded ladies prbpose to get up an organization to be called the “Patrons of Wifery,” the main object being to keep husbands from.staying out late at night. The Missouri Grangers are contriving a scheme to handle all the hog p'roduc: of the State by an agency at St. Louis, it Is also said that a convention of Grangers of several States is about to be held in order to attempt the control of the entire Western hog* crop. 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 story that had an extensive circulation twen- of wagons manufactured oulside the territory New Yobk, September 27.—Cotton—net receipts 248: gross 2,038 bales.
