The principal thus guarded would always remain safe, whilst otherwise it might be easily squandered and lost, and tbe future welfare and design of the institution, in its wise provisions, may fail of its intentions for all con cerned.

BY A “SKLECT MASTER*” Our revered order, ancient and accept ed Free masonry receives at times censure from outside, because of laxity or failure, toeuforce its well known requirements as toapplicanls for admission, and its failure too, to expel tbe unworthy. There are to be found in its ranks many known vio lators of the moral law, when every mau there should be pure and unspotted from the world. These have not stolen the livery of heaveu’s handmaid to veil from human eye their wicked walk among their fellow-men ; but tbe baud maid has, of her own free will and ac ini, thrown gently around them her mantle of purity aud iuuocence. We all know that no man should be permitted to pass the portals through which worthy brethren pass to the ground floor of King Momon’s Temple, who is not under the ague of good report. Yet we have ad mitted thestx Is any man, who is guilty of any crime that takes him out of the limits of pure mirality, worthy to be admitted into the mrtuin sanctorum, and taken asa co la ter in the grand work appointed of j God'' I answer to all of these the em- ! pliatic words no! never! I believe that cveq true brother will echo the sentiment. Now, brethren, let us receive no more inch characters, and as soon as possible get rid of those we have on baud. Let every true brother “ turn out ” at every meeiiugof liis Lodge and act, as becomes a mason ou every Xietition presented to that body for membership. Reject the I unworthy, and put your approval upon 1 virtue. Those who have deserted the ! Lodges on account of the evil I have j mentioned, should return again speedily i to the fold,and aid in the rejection of those | who are not prepared to enter in. Those masons who know themselves to be unworthy to associate with brethren whocuu liouoralily wear the white apron, should resign the Lodge. They are not ' wanted, ami are but stumbling blocks in our onward move toward Friendship, ! Morality, and Brotherly love. dill not the better informed brothers give us light occasionally on such subjects, through the Journal and Messenger. ? i * * # MIE EMI AMI AIM OK FREEMASONRY. Ihe morality of Freemasonry may be said to he a development of the two tunda niental dogmas, without a full and due re i coition of which Freemasonry cannot possibly exist, namely, the Fatherhood of 1 u 'd and the Brotherhood of M,au. In ! hoe, it may he asserted that the supreme fi and and aim of Freemasonry is the frater ■ nation of mankind in one grand altilia hon, under one Grand Master, the G. A. (l - L l . Every feature in the moral code freemasonry which does not teud thitherward is not characteristically Ma ' 11 !c, hut may beloug iu common to a * i re of systems. All the allegories and \'nibols proper to Masonry have direct or ‘direct reference to tins mission of the institution. ■'vets aud parties in Church and State. Prejudices of race aud nationality, bigoted gard for geographical boundaries, th *se cgs tend to divide. Masonry on the her hand only tends to unite those who would otherwise remain at a perpetual dm Unee. Masonry iu the moral world is what tbe attraction of gravitation is in hie physical world, tbe great cohesive principle. Without the latter, the earth's - .rnal aud annual motions would shatter r planet to fragments; without the for mer, tlie human race, divided and sub sided as it is into hostile iudividualisms, ~ :s ami parties, would be iufiuitely worse T than it is. Asa consequence of ibis cosmopolitan fission of the institution, the ethics of freemasonry, out of which its moral code Us been drawn, have had their fouuda ; his laid deep in wilier generations, than upon which the creed or practice of * y particular organized religion or politi Cal party has been grounded The world w 'lb which Freemasonry has to do is a Wl Jer world than church or joty or race ‘Rationality can embrace. . hat world 'R'judes every man who has fuh in God 4 ’ bis ow u fellow creatures, w ho carries *-It hitu a good report.

A CARD. We very willingly publish the statement found below, and signed by our esteemed townsman. Dr. E. L. Strohecker. We do not wonder at the warmth of his indignation and the manner of its expression, but we cannot allow it to pass without some comment. The statements made in the article, “Horrible if True,” were made by a gentleman in whose veraci ty and memory we had entire confidence. lie made them as he had made others—as items of cur rent neighborhood news, and without the slightest intention of wronging anybody. He did not know the parties, so of course could hjve had no motive to injure them. We had never beard the rumor before, and only as a news item was it regarded and treated by us. We daily pnblish items of news with no better proofs of their cdfrectaess than were furnished in this case, expressing no opinion at all, and leaving the reader to receive or reject at his pleasure. When qualified by an “if,” as this state ment was, the inference is clear that the publisher deems it suspicious, and therefore desire to let it go forth without the warning qualification. Shrouded as oar mention of the allair was in total mystery, as to names of parties or even locality, we distinctly disclaim and reject as utterly unwar ranted and unjust the slightest implication of hav ing intentionally assisted in defaming the reputa tion of a lady. This we know Dr. 8. does not be lieve, thongh the language of his communication may seem to justify, in some degree, such an in ference. Acquitted of that charge, we shall not quarrel over the imputations of heedlessness and sensationalism. That question is one to be settled by every editor for himself, guided by his own ideas of newsuaoer management “ Horrible, If Trne.” Mr. Editor: In your issue of the 14th inst. appea r s an article, titled, “Horrible, if True,” in which the public are led to accept its entire veracity, while its scur riliity as to the lady is at tbe same time qualified by an if, and 4,hen reiterated again in the next statements. The statements of your informant as to the lady in question are but tbeconceqtra lion of falsehood and inexcusable libel. She has relations iu this city, whose feel ings you seem lightly to regard in giving publication to statements which, if true, would brand her name with infamy. Is the character aud purity of a lady thus to be sullied, even by suspicion, when by your own statement you have not the proof? Has the press here become so Yaukeeized that even for a “sensational article,” the most precious treasure of mankind, the honor of the female, is to be thus outrageously libelled ? Has an editor auy right, without evidence, by his own confession, to trample upon the honor of a family, and iu a breath to transform a pure and modest woman into a Borgia? As to tiie character of the gentleman as sailed, there is this only to be said : He is well known as an unfortunate victim of dissipation, aud his conduct is a source of great trial to a very worthy family. The writer does not propose iu detail to attack his motives iu circulating reports of such bideousness respecting the lady in revenge, because she saw fit to reject his suit, nor to notice his baseness further than to say that tiie cause of his fiight from justice is explained by affidavits appended below. Malicious falsehood, wheresoever started, respecting the lady, would have passed unnoticed, and attributed simply to disap pointment, so long as they did not imply criminality, or dishonor. But when they amount to felony most odious, and in the language of the article, “Horrible,” it is proper, Mr. Editor, to refer to the euormi ty of your own heedlessness in miking a public libel of that which would have re mained a local 9caudal. The facts of the matter are, simply, that the young lady, satisfied of the incurable habits of dissipa tion of the gentleman, and warned by her friends, wrote to him to call and see tier, and then dismissed him. Her parents did not then eugender tiie horrible “plot” which lias emanated from some feverish brain, aud detailed in your cohiums, since her father has been sleeping in the grave for many years, aud her mother was then absent in a distant State. Upon being addressed by the “rich old mau,” who, liy tiie way, was a youug widower of comfortable circumstances, she properly required him to first seek, the consent of her mother. Having taken a trip to that State, aud receiving the con sent, he returned aud married her, the mother still being absent. Thus tlie harrowing tale of “Horrible if True,” which lias curdled the blood of this commuuity, and cast odium and shame upon a most worthy and innocent woman, by suspicion, at least, vanishes by one word of truth. Iu its horrible details, so far as the lady is concerned, there are just five truths aud tweuty-one falsehoods. Mr. Editor, are our reputations and the good name of our wives aud daughters to be impeached by floating rumors aud bear-say scandal, recklessly puoli9hed in the press, which should be the guardians of our honor? Under such circumstances is tbe |tress a blessing or a curse? Cau apologies or retractions heal wounded feel ings aud make lustrious the character which has been falsely blackened ? Can you wonder if we indignantly repel false insinuations, even qualified by a brief sentence, “if true?” COPIES OF AFFIDAVITS. South Carolina—Edgefield County : Personally appeared, (leo. W. Ray, of Pulaski county, da., wlioSyson oath, that on the 9th clay of March, 1869, Russell F. Mann, Attorney at law,of Houston coun ty, Oa., came in person to this deponent at Hawklusville, iu Pulaski county, Ga., the residence of this deponent, and wish ed to know if he, (deponent,) would prove true aud confidential to him, (Maun,) de ponent replied : If it was right and just he would. Mann then said “he wanted depc nent to come to Edgefield District, South Carolina,Ridge’ Postotlice.aud there to sign some neighbors name to a note to be directed to Mr. James Boatwright, (the gentleman who had recently married Mist* ptrohecker,) and Mr. Kennerly, request ing them to come up to the depot, aud that deponent in the meantime secrete him self iu a skirt of woods between the depot aud Mr. James Boatwright’s; said skirts of woods said Mauu described caiefuliy to deponent, aud as said Boat wright and Kennerly should come along, deponeut should kill Boatwright and wound Kenuerly. Boatwright’s liorse was tube ridden off' or shot, and'his money aud watch takeu to make it appear that it had been doue by robbers. Mann said to deponent “it is a settled fact that Boat wright has to die, if lie (Mann) had to do the deed himself.” Maun said “he would give deponent one thousand dollars on the 10th of March, at the village of Perry, where deponent was on that day to meet said Maun, aud if the deed was committed he would give deponent two thousand dollars more and a lien on his crops, (de ponent does cot know if Mann has any crop.) When depouent went on the lllli of March, (deponent did not go to Perry the day first agreed on), said Mann gave depouent a six shooter pistol aud eight dollars in money, (he Mann did not give the thousand dollars, for he said he had not collected the money that he expected at Perry.) Hegave(at Perry) to depouent the address of Mr. Jas. Boatwright and Mr. John Kenuerly, (hereto appended,) aud repeated his instructions as to mode of proceeding, adding Boatwright was worth one huudredand fifty thousand dollars; aud that when Boatwright was killed, he (Ray) would get a fiue watch, aud from three to five thousand dollars, which amount Boatwright generally car ried about him; aud when he(Mauu) could marry the widow of Boatwright, he and depouent would both be rich. Mann said there was a certain safe in Perry, the number of the key of which was 1775, that he would get it and have keys made, and deponent would be able to go in and take the money as he needed it. There was from thirteen to fifty thousand dollars at in it. De ponent further says, that after the inter view, deponent received at Hawkinsville, from the Post office there, the letter hereto appended, addressed to said deponent by said Maun; that at the interview in Perry, Mann asked deponent if he (Ray) had destroyed said letter, aud depouent re plied, “that he had,” at which Mann ex pressed himself very much gratified. Ou leaving, Mann shook deponent’s hand aud wished him great success. Deponent was to take the cars at the Southwestern Rail- road, at Station No 2, and proceed by Macon that night. Deponent did not go to Station No. 2, but went to Hawkinsville and took the Brunswick Road next morning. Deponent and Joseph W. McLemore, (his friend) took tiie road together at Hawkinsville, and came on to Augusta by Macon and thence to the Ridge depot, reaching there about 11 o’clock on Sunday 14tb of March, 1869, and recognizing it as the place described by Mann. Ou arrival, inquired ofa negro if be knew Mr. Boatwright aud Kennedy; negro replied by pointing to a gentleman who he said was Mr. Kennedy. Depon ent seut the negro to Bay to Mr Ken nedy that he wished to see him. Depon ent told Mr Kennerly that he bad a secret to divulge to him, and wanted his protec tion and even money, if necessary. De ponent went with Mr. Keuneriy to Mr. Burreli Boatwright’s, (tbe father of Mr. Jas. Boatwright) Deponent disclosed tbe above facta in presence of Mr. James Boatwright, Mr. Kennerly and Joseph McLemore. Deponent did not just then dis close the fact of tbe acceptance of the eigh ty dollars for reasons affecting himself and his companion. The above facts deponent substantially communicated to Joseph McLemore and Jame» Phillips, of Pulaski county, Mr. L. Dudley, Marshal of Haw kiusville,aud D. G. Jt/nes, of Perry, before bis leaving there Deponent further stated that he had no idea of perpetrating the deed, and that be intended to get all the money he could out of the man who had made tbe base offer, and after getting the money to expose him; that h .* would not carry Mann’s schemes into effect for all the money in the world. Sworn to before me this 15th day of March, 1869. {Andrew Ramsey, Clerk C. C. P. G. W. Ray. Jos. L. McLemore being duly sworn, says the above stated facts, so far as they come within his knowledge, are true, and when resting on the testimony of Ray, he believes them to be true. Joseph McLemore. Sworn to before me, this 15th day of March, 1869. Andrew Ramsey, Clerk C. O. P. James Boatwright and John Kennerly being duly sworn, say ou oath that tiie above statement of facts by Ray is the same as was communicated to them at the time stated. Jas. Boatwright, Jno. Kennerly. Sworn to before me, this 15th day of March, 1869. A. Ramsey, Clerk C. C. P. With the copy of the above affidavit, in formation was also received that imme diately upon the disclosure of the intend ed assassination, a gentleman went to Au gusta and telegraphed to Mann, usiDg the name of Ray, as follows : “Object not ac complished. Must I wait or come on ?” to which he received an answer signed R. F. Mann: “Stay and proceed regardlessof expense and means.” It is needless to refute other statements implicating the lady with but a simple de uial that any correspondence or com munication was held by her witli Mann, after bis dismissal, or any notice taken of him whatever. Tbe next time that village scandal reaches you, Mr. Editor, be not overwhelmed, nor absorb it at a breath ; weigh it carefully, and in moderation. Do justice to our women at least, and spare their good names from the assassination of both village scandal mongers and the abandoned iu crime. Ed. L. Strohecker. Early Goodrich Potatoes. Mr. F. P. Geary, living fourteen miles from this city, brings us a mess of the finest potatoes we have seen this season. Mr. Rose gave him the seed on the 2d of March, but he did. not plant them till the 15th, and now he shows a ircautiful potato nearly full size, as the result of this'plunting. We think there is no variety equal to the early Good rich for this country. Mr. Geary has our thunks for this fine specimen sent us. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS, GENERAL NEWS.
