This statement is compiled from iej oris of
the Grand Ofiiecrs of that Jurisdiet Ui to the
Grand Lodge of the United States and exhihit
marked prosperity in comparison with previous
similar report. The growth of the Order has
surpassed the expectation of i: most sanguine
friends; and the future Is bright with promise
of what can be accoinpIiOied. We neetl only
recur to facts and ftatisiies, to be found in the
proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the United
States, and within the reach of all who desire to
be informed. In 1819 it had its origin, and where
does it stand lo-day ? More than three hun
dred thousand contributing members,' and in
creasing year by year. As an Oorganizr.tion the
Order possses wealth, j numbers and resources
inferior to no similar institution in the world,
and have given proof in illustrations of its prin
ciples and objects. Thie vast amount of good
that has been accomplished in the past, is noth
ing in comparison with What can be done in the
future. For notwithstanding the late civil war
Odd Fellowship hsis nckrly doubled since the
surrender, and has evefy prosjH-ct that before
the close of the present cer.tury its niemlicni
will reach nearly a million of men, and imagi
nation can set no bound to the future achieve
ments of this great Fraternity. I5y applying
the talents that Odd Fellowship possesses, it
can vindicate its claims before the world and
prove the truth of its professions, its principles,
and its practices. Then will be fulfilled its ciii
sistency, its truth and it fidelity.
"The great moving spirit of the Order is be
nevolence, good will to nil men, but more par
ticularly to those to'; whom we are bou:;d
by the ties of friendship and of fellowship,
whereby we are pledged to assist each other in
the hour of distress, to visit and watch ove r the
sick, to protect the widow, and guide and guard
the Orphan."
It is about as much use to expostulate
with an extreme radn.nl upon the sins and
enormiiies of the party he is upholding
as it is to pour water ou a duck s back.
He will menly-laugh it off, and in the
depths of demoralization, congratulate

infamies have beeu so cunningly devised
and 44 1 raartly'" executed. The Wash

gentlemen should cejise to jest with these
base fellows over tliHr enormities. Too
long have they been allowed to laugh
Uicuy their CMMES. This -only' way : to
woik a reform is to irxpose these charac

WHAT TIIE OUTLAWS SAY.
On Saturday last, Jas. Sinclair, of this
uiifiurtniiate town, went up-to Scuhltowii
to meit he brethren of that loil bicality
for the purpose, we(niiderstand of inau
gurating a tree "skale."
'While1 the - ex-tfrsoti yen 1 taking -a
drink in the back' toom of Bute's store,
the outlaws suddenly made." their appear
ance at the dbor aad haviag laced setiti
nels around tjie hoase, II.L Lowry went
in and accosted the parson, s-iying that
they had been anxinus, for5 sonic tinieyld
meet with lnm, and that they would now
settle a little account taiidm4 against
him for the part he -liad takj-ii igaintt
them in issuing proclamations pf outlaw
ry against certain of i'her 0 umber.
The bombastic Justice $ei to work to
explain, his coiidoci, aud succedj'd in con
vincing the, outlaws, we suppos, that he
had acifd only in self defense, and to al
lay certain suspicious that prevailed iu
the public mind that he Was hn active
aecotnplice and friend of Hie oatlaws.-
ll.iwever, it seems that finally !a mutual
understanding was reached,' andj that they,
eat down to a fijendly confab, lit the
course of which Lowry stated jtliat they,
had killed Saudern and Taylor, because
they had determined the d-saih of 40
Republicans in the county, the list of
whose ii-tmes they found tipottlbe bodv
of Zanders when he was killed. Liwry
insisted that they had killed Vnly Ku
Klux, and that G?AXT WULt NOT Ah

, The above ulleijed facts We get from ru
mor .on the ft i eels. We don't kuow how
much truth there is in lhi whede Mnry,
or whether the whole thing is not a sheer
fabrication. ! ' " ' '
We think it most likely that if Sin
clair met the outlaws at 'all, it was by
appointment, and was done to secure an
iuterview wiibout suhjeciing himself to '
.i
ine suspicion oi ueieg on tlrietjuly terms
with the outlaws. JicUiOuian.
