Resolved, That from and after the first of January, 1850, the official term of Subordinate Lodges, shall be three months. The question being on the substitute, Rep DeSaussure, of S C, moved the previous question. The Chair being in the act of putting the question on the call for the previous question, P G Sire Kennedy, moved to refer the subject again to the Legislative Committee, with instructions to report three months as the term of official service in Subordinate Lodges, which motion the Chair ruled to have precedence over the motion for the previous question. P G S Kennedy, asked and obtained leave to withdraw the motion to refer. The question recurring upon the call for the previous ques tion, and it being seconded by the Lodge, was put in form fol lowing* “Shall the main question be now put ?” which was re solved in the affirmative. The main question was then put Will the Grand Lodge adopt the report of the Legislative Committee?” which was resolved in the affirmative. The yeas and nays being required, appeared as follows ; Yeas 52; Nays 24. Bv unanimous consent of the lodge, Rep. Anderson, of Q oor gia from the Special Committee on this subject, made the following report, To the R Grand Lodge of the United States : The committee, to whom was referred the consideration of the subject contained in the following resolution : “ Resolved , That a Special Comm'ttee'of three bo appointed bv the Chair, to take into consideration the State of the Or der in New York,” Ask leave to report, The committee need not say that they have approached the consideration of the subject submitted to them, with the pro foundest sense of its importance to the Order. They hnve not concealed from themselves the fact that the grave and mo* nientous question which, for two years, has beeu paramount in the jurisdiction of this Grand Lodge, and which has dis turbed the Order, even to the point of disruption, is now, for the last time, presented for adjustment, before it passes from our control, fraught with the perils of distraction and dissolu tion of the American Order of Odd-Fellowship. But even in this most critical condition of our Order, the important duty of preserving the dignity and integrity of this R, \V Body, in its official acts, has been present, primarily and constantly, with the committee, during their earnest and most cautious deliberation upon the matters before them.— Imnressed with the necessity of recognising the legality of every measure heretofore adopted by the R W Grand Lodge, with reference to the disturbed condition of the Order in the State of New York, they have felt, that however fearful the consequences to bo apprehended from any particular course, they were not to be avoided by the sacrifice of a single princi ple of our great organization, or by any essential departure from our organic law. The committee have dared to flatter themselves that they have met upon aground of adjustment, which will not mili tate against the dignity and consistency of this our supreme legislation, and which will at the same time restore that por tion of the brotherhood in the State of New York, now di vorced from us. The views of the committee are submitted in the sincere hope that the members of this Grand Lodge will concede that a method has been selected, which will relieve the Order from its distressing state of conflict anddisturbance. The committee have disembarrassed themselves from all matters of personal differences, and all things nonessential to which this unhappy controversy has given existence. Look ing at the question in its two principal phases, first, ns relating to the former legislation of this Grand Lodge, and secondly, to the actual condition of the order in New York, they have approached it as in many respects new and original, and it is in this manner that they would desire it to be considered by this Grand Lodge. That portion of the Order in New York, known as the Ju risdiction of the New Constitution Grand Lodge, is an inte gral organized body not. recognised by the Grand Lodge as in legal existence, and not legitimately in fellowship with the re sidue of the Order. The separation of this body of Odd- Fellows from the Order has not been followed, however, by the abandonment of their relations as members of Subordinate Lodges, and so far as the committee have knowledge, their immediate duties aud responsibilities have been performed *nd borne, and in their relations towards the body they have established for their government, they have acted as if in full connection and good standing within the Order. This condition of affairs presents an entity with which the Grand Lodge can deal at once, and if considered in the mode recommended by the committee, will preclude the necessity of analyzing and dissolving the organization now existing. It does not seem necessary to insist upon anew organization, if this Grand Lodge will adopt the view of this committee in considering the present organization as new, and as if for the first time presented, complete and perfect, and awaiting the fiat of this Body in order to pass into operation. The com mittee are therefore in favor of recognizing the existing organ ization as of recent formation, and of rendering it legal, from a date not remote from the present moment, under the re strictions and conditions expressed in the resolutions accom panying this report. 1 ls the main proposition of the Committee, and such matters ot detail as are ancillary are embodied in the resilu* t,ODS * lt is believed that they are sufficiently explicit, without xplanation in the \ } ody G s report. In 6ubm ''ttin ? these views, the Committee are deeply im pressed with the conviction that they are expressing the wishes and opioioos of the great mass of the Order throughout your jurisdiction. Your determination of this great question, final as !t ma J for weal or woe, in the Order, is waited for si iently and respectfully, but with the warm desire that it shall such as to restore the harmony and perfect integrity of the Order. The Committee would so far travel from the direct llDe of their duties as deferentially but entreatingly to urge u P° n each member of the Grand Lodge to consider upon hie individual responsibility, whether the peace and union, and ha Ppily the life of the Order do not depend upon the immedi wttlement of this controversy. The Committee can no 1 conceive that it will be ever again the privilege of the Grand Lodge to enjoy the opportunity of disposing of this vexed question favorably and finally, which circumstances now com bine to afford. In conformity with these views, the committee submit the following resolutions: JNO. W. ANDERSON, PETER DELLA TORRE, VVM. E. PARMENTER. Resolved 1, That the organization in the State of New York, known as the New Constitution Grand Lodge of the State of New York, be, and the same is hereby recognized as hiving legal existence under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the United States, from, and alter the - ■ day of v the year 1849, and that a charter be, and is hereby granted to rhe said body, giving the same jurisdiction in Odd-Fellownhip over that part ot the territory of said State, which is included within the Northern Judicial District, as at present defined by Act of Congress.

And the same permis sion is granted to the said Subordinate Lodge, so to elect at any time subsequent to said date, with the consent of both the said Grand Lodges. Provided further, that such Lodge or Lodges, as by their election, shall be excepted from the juris diction, in which they are geographically located, shall not re ceive less than the minimum rates for initiation or degrees, fees and assessments, which are received by Lodges in the same county which are attached to the geographical jurisdic tion. 4.

The same provisions set forth in the foregoing resolutions relative to Suborinate Lodges shall apply in all respects to the Subordinate Encampments similarly situated, and which are attached to both the said Grand Encampments. 8. Article Bth of the By-Laws is hereby amended, by adding “ except in tne State of New York, which may have two Grand L ilge- and two Grand Encampments.” And all laws and parts of laws, inconsistent with the foregoing resolutions, are hereby repealed. On motion of P G Sire Kennedy, the report aud resolutions were made the special order for to-morrow morning at 11 o’clock. y&aewsrs* VBMGB& ewamMusw.
