The Grand Lodge of Jtlasons. Abridged rrom Raleigh Observer. During the session of the Grand Masonic Lodge of the State, Wednes day, the report of J. H.Mills, Esq., super intendent of the Oxford orphan asylum, was received. At the last annual com munication, one hundred and twenty five orphans were reported present. Since that report sixty-eight have been admitted, making one hundred and ninety-three. Of these, thirty-nine have been discharged to engage in use ful employments. Fifteen have been adopted by childless parties, who take them as their own children. Four have run away, because they came too late in life, and could not endure whole some restraint. Two have died ; Spen cer Corbett, of Pitt, and Viola Mullins, of Wake. The present number is one hundred and thirty-eight. The ex penses have averaged about $5 per month for each orphan. During the year cash to the amount of $9,446.25 was received ; on hand at last report, $63.59; disbursed, $9,238,06 ; leaving on hand, $271.78. The contributions of the year have been liberal both in cash and kind. Besides the money on hand the frand treasurer still holds $500 of the 2,000 appropriated by the Grand Lodge. The following is the result of the election of officers for the ensuing sonic year: John H. Mills, Superintendent Ma-Ox- ford Orphan Asylum. William R. Cox, Grand Master. Charles W. Alexander, Senior Grand Master. Henry F. Grainger, Junior Grand Master. William. E. Anderson, Grand Treas urer. Donald W. Bain, Grand Secretary. What Mr. Hendricks Says. Wash. Special, 4th, to Richmond Dispatch. Mr. Hendricks was at the Senate to day, and he and Senator Voorhees were together. He talks quite freely on cur rent questions, and encourages those Democrats who have been dispirited. He speaks kindly of Mr. Tilden, but does not, of course, want him nomina ted. He does not ibinkjiim adisorgan izer, and does not think there will be a split in the New York Democracy next fall if we have a proper presidential candidate in the field. When question ed in regard to his own State, he says it is Democratic Mr. Hendricks takes occasion to state that he is here in the prosecution of an important law case in which he has t been counsel for some years. His presence hasdOne good, and ray judgment is that he would not de cline the second jjuice on a ticket with Bayard or Seymour.

The President and Bis Party on the Financial ImneSenator Bayard's Proposition Abrogate the Legal Tender Character of Greenbacks Proposed Refunding- in Four Per Cent. Bonds.' ice Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. WAjsmNGTONilDec. 3. It is very plain as claimed in Republican circles, that the President sees his mistake in taking extreme viejwsV on a very important question, and with a divided cabinet, without consulting any of the leaders of his party. When the message was discussed in cabinet Secretaries Kvarts, Deveus, Schurz and Sherman sustained the President in the principles enunci ated and the recommendations advanc ed with reference to finance. McCrary, Thompson and Key dissented from them, and warned the President that he was taking a position upon which his party could not stand. The result was shown to-day when Mr. Chittenden, of New York, made a canvass of the House and found only twelve Republican members who would be willing to vote away the legal-tender qualities of'the greenback, and some of these twelve doubt the expediency of agitating the question in Congress just at the present. Among the latter is numbered Gen. Gar field. '. The President talked very freely with Republican members to-day: " He sent for several of them Who had been par ticularly outspoken in their criticism, including Messrs. Fort and Price. He said that an erroneous construction had been placed upon his message in the as sumption that he was in favor of im mediate and radical action in taking away the legal-tender qualities of green backs. He said that paper money was only a war expedient, and, the exigency having passed, the greeabacks should now be retired. He thought it best to commence soon taking steps to restore the currency to a permanent basis, which meant the retirement of green backs. Hut he must not be understood as favoring any such hasty legislation as would unsettle values or disturb financial centres. He felt satisfied that the grounds which he had taken in his message were such as the Republican party would ultimately represent. His purpose was to bring the subject thus formally before Congress and the peo ple, in order that the public might be educated upon it by discussion and oth erwise. He requested the gentlemen with whom he talked to inform their Republican associates in Congress of the purport of his remarks, and to as sure them that he desired nothing that would entail disaster in financial and business circles. He thought that a year or two would make no difference in the retirement of the greenbacks, and he wanted the country to be fully prepared for it. Secretary Sherman has also discussed the subject with Congressmen, and en deavored to persuade them that the loss of-legal-tender quality will do the green back no harm. 3IR. BAYARD'S RESOLUTION. Senator Bayard said to-day, after the introduction of his resolution abrogat ing the legal-tender character of the greenbacks, that prior to its introduc tion he had submitted the resolution to several of his party friends on the floor, and that they concurred in approval of its scope. He thought that there was nothing in the resolution to which any Democrat could object, and he had strong hopes that it would receive the support of the majority in both houses. It was Democratic doctrine, and the principles which it set forth had been stoutly and eloquently maintained by leading Democratic members of Con gress who are now classed as great greenback advocates. It offered an easy and safe way to settle the financial ques tion, and to unite solidly the Democrat ic party. He hoped the Democrats will take advantage of the opportunity, now that the Republicans wrere dividing on that question, and there was apparent ly an issue between the administration and its friends in Congress. In this connection he called attention to the proposition of Senator Ingalls, also made to-day, taking direct issue with the President and the Secretary of the Treasury. Senator Wallace who is one of the most influential of the Senators on the Democratic side, and who, as a member of the committee on finance, has not been in accord with Senator Bayard on questions touching the currency, said to your correspondent that the resolution of Mr. Bayard was all right, and that Mr. Bayard had shown wisdom in bring ing it forward at this time. He thought it entirely probable that the finance committee, when it came to consider the resolution, would agree to report it favorably, although one or two mem bers might not be disposed to sanction it The Soft and Hard-Money Republi cans Wide Apart. Corespondence Richmond Dispatch. Washington, December 3. A politi cal party is never safe, for it may bask in sunshine to-day only to find its sky full of threatening clouds to-morrow. The Republicans came here flushed with victories in Ohio, New Jersey, Connec ticut, and other States, and were prepar ed to deal the Democrats early and heavy additional blows in Congress. But the message of the President and the report of the Secretary of the Treas ury, with their radical recommenda tions in regard to finance, have chang ed the programme, and to-day the soft and hard-money men of the Republican party are wider apart than Manone and Withers, or Kelly and Tilden. Yester day an Iowa member threw down the gauntlet of rebellion in the house, and Mr. Carpenter followed it up in the Se nate to-day with a resolution declaring that it is impolitic to disturb Che pre sent condition of the public finances. The Democrats enjoy this disturbance in the ranks of their opponents, and Wise leaders think they should avoid the financial question as far as possible and let the Republicans do all the squabbling about it. y- Colored Exodastertt. Goldsboro Messenger. A shabby looking crew of colored "ex odusters" took the northern bound train here Thursday, bound for Green Castle, Indiana. With but few exceptions they hailed from Lenoir county, and present ed a motley display of colors, sexes, and condition, all the way from the sucking infant to good old age up to above three score and ten. They appeared to be panic streken and without any recognized lead eror discipline, and a more ignorant and confused mass of living beings it would be difficult, to find in any civilized coun try. They numbered in all 139 adults, of which about sixty were men above 18 years old, and the remainder women and children; Only a small number f them had means sufficient to buy emi grant through tickets,- to Indiana; the larger number were able to secure tick ets to Washington, while some of them, had barely money enough to pay their fare as far as Weldon. : K;' : ' A When a noble deed la performed, a great battle fought, an Important assembly convened, thenceforth the place of their occarrenee . recomes fa mous.
