willing Vd start on a hunt through the

what they will obey and what they will

others by the reckless overturning of

people and build its blazing altars to
the strange gods of ruin aud misrule.
All th se things are shaking the gbed
order of ciety and threatening the

ever before, this ccuntry needs a body
of law-glers clothed and in their right

said him nay, that they not only have
not in the past obeyed but in the future
they will not obey this law of the land
which the Supreme Court has just
crowned-with the authority of its sanc

that issue, if he chooses to go to the

after, m id ufght of Nov. o0, ;Senator Ed
mundsmade the following' proposition :
"I take the liberty to suggest once
nc ore the possibility of ur coming to
an understanding as to taking a vote
upon, these questions, and I ask that;
unanimous ; consent' be given in , the
usual method not' that the Journal

befor 2:30 A. to day. Sacnd to
Yete qri' the ;Butler-Corbin case at ir
before the expiration of one hour

- Ih Jeply to this Mr. Thurman said:
- "I hope the proposition will be agreed
t, and Task my Democratic frieads on

me that it will result in an arrangement
perfectly honorable and Jair to both
parties." - : . , .
The case of M. C Dutier of South
Carolina,7 then lay in committee and
had not been reported on, but U wa3
understood thai Senators Conover and
Patterson, both Republicans, would,
for reasons known lo themselves vote
for him, if his en?e came up. After
the vote was taken' on' the KelloirK reso
lutiort, Mr. Thurman rose and said:
"I move that jL C. Butler of South
Carolina, be sworn in a Senator from
that state." This met ion passed 29 to
28, both Conover and Patters n, Re
publicans, voting for it. Both Kellogg
and Butler were at once sworn in.
; Anybody,' with half ah eye can see
from the above facts that this was done
by an understanding between the two
parties, that both should be admitted,
avoid further controversy. Butler,
as was well known, had no shadow of
title to the seat which he now holds,
not having been elected by even a sem
blance of a legal legislature. He hacl
Wade Hampton's certificate who v.cs
himself illegally holding the office of
Governor. Now, the Democrats, beiDg
in a majority in the Senate, propose to
unseat Kellogg. This is a specimen of
what the Democrats would do, if they
had full power. And it is Democratic
honor! We cannot believe that Sena
tor ThurcLan will lend himself to this
atrocious business.

Reverend Sirs Ladies and ' Gentkmen
We have assembled to-day, in the
capacity of our Mystic Union, to parti
cipate with you in the performance of
a solemn and important duty.. A time
honored custom hath ever regarded
with Solemnity Revrence and Christian
Pride, the ceremonies incident to the
laying of a corner stone, anu more espe
cially is it so, when, as iu . this case, the
building hereon erected, is to be dedi
cated to the service and worship j of
God, and the saving of souls for II is
spiritual Kingdom, through the media
tion oi our Savior and Redeemer, who
is the chief corner stone of our Faith,
our hope arid our eternal reward. As
true Odd Fellows, we .take an honest
pride, and feel a high appreclatioiilin
being called upon to participate with
you, and lending our assistance in this
noble and honorable cause. It may be
proper iust here, that I remark for the
information and benefit of the uninitia
ted, who are ignorant o'f the principles
apd purposes of, our order, and who
have very unwisely assumed, with an
unrighteous judgment, to question the
propriety or eur conduct,, that the G.
U. O. of O. F. h,as jcot, will hot, cannotj
assume a hostile position pr 'attitude to
neyolent, institution or ; Mociety. We
seek to dp what goed wei, can in cwr
humble sphere of usefulness, and c
operate with all efforts which tend lo
elevate the character of a naan, and all
Vaucethe standard of ChHstian civij
z ition. Wc war only against the com
mon enemy of humanityjii ignoranc,
vice and misery, and to those: who hai'e
so uncharitably and arrogantlv quel
tioued our conduct. We woulJ in tile
spirit of mildness and 'brotherly loe
remind of them of the answer the Savi
or gave His blessed disciplec,5who had
intercepted another in his wort. "Mas
ter," said they, "we saw one casting out
deyils in thy name, and he followett
not it?, and we forbade him because hie
followeth not us." But Jesus said,
"Forbid i im uot, for there is no mab
which shall do a miracle- in my ham 4
that can lightly speak evil of me, for he
that is pot againat; us is on . our part.'
And again, we would remind those who
are disposed, unjustly, to critisize our
cehduct of the occasion when the Pat
riarchs Abraham and Lot, were some
what involved by the quarrelsome Qan
duct of their respective herdsmen. But
the brave and peaceful .father, ef the
faithful, would not allow his duties thus
to be compromised. And Abraham said,
"Lot, let there be no strife nI pray, thee
between me and thee, and jfjtween my
herdsmen and thy herdsme for we be
brethren -is not the whole lknd before
thee? Separate thyself, I p;ray the?,
;from me. If thou wilt tae the left
jhand, then will! gt to theight, or if
thou depart to the right hnd, then I
Will go the left." So woulwe say to
day in the same Christian! spirit, to
every good institution and, cjycry heney
olent sul: MLjet tlere he no strife be
tween u, for 'we be bretlirljj.l Jet us
view the vast -field of human! iignoranoe,
crime, destitution and suaTeringj! and
vice around.us." See how jrery little
ofthe mighty dark, dismal'! void,1 has
been improved even by all the com
bined efforts and agencies ever set in
motion. Does it not cause our hearts
to sicken when we contemplate the al
most hopelessness of relieving lall that
destitution and wo, and removing all
that ignorance and crime? Is there; not,
my brethren, more than enough for us
all to do ? We repeat then, that Qdf
Fellowship neither ponjict. no? inter
fere with any organization either' of a
religious, moral, intellectual ix beneTO
lent. ciltncter, but she bids a j hearty
Godspeed to every sgiocutioa jthat
would rob mankind of their sorrows
and vices, leaving each to manage in
its own way its peculiar portion of iwell
doing iu its own way and in jits own
season. ' -'" ; : -.
. The G. U. O- of Q. F., do, however,
claim, and justly too, a portion at least
ot the sympathy and consideration of
the Christian church, whose obedient
handmaid she aspires to be, land of
kindred benevolent institutions wjaose
co-equals, the fruits of pur worts shall
prove the iustness of our claim to j be.
We are With you to-day, kind friends.
obedient to your invitation to contri
bute in our feeble efforts to the;accoms
ulishmeiit of a crand undertaking.! In
accordance witn tne ancient custom oi
the order, we have performed the ritu
alistic ceremonies incident to such oc
casions, il It has ever been a- custom
among the ancient, as well as among
imodernjcnnstians, to ooserve .certain
Torms, rites or ceremonies, peculiar in
themselves. A , knowledge ot which'
fids, reserved U the feVtciheeilduslQU
bered tU
kt when God determined to in
stitute among men a pure worship' of
himself, as God, of the . whole earth, he
called Abrabam of Ur, in Chaldea,'to
be his friend and agent in the work.
Revealing himself to the Patriarch, He
constituted him the progenitor of that
chosen people, who were to be the de
pository of divine truth, until the world
should be prepared to receive and prac
tice the mysteries of human redemp
tion; - Every precaution was taken to
make these pelected people of God, a
peculiar .people. Iu other words, they
were" to be Odd Fellow3 among 'the na
tions around them, hot only by heredi
tary; descent but also by a singular
form of government, a singular code of
laws, and aeingular. ritual of worship,
all adapted to keep them from mingling
with other nations and adopting their
idolatries. r i . :
- The deceration of their Temple and
Tabernacle, the regalia of their Priest
hood, the emblems of their instruction
were all prescribed for them, even to
the forra; color ; and material. The,
mode J of, t initiating : proselytes from
other nations was clearly defined, and
certain physical defects and conditions
of heilth were made causes f perpetu
al exclusion from the congregation of
Israel. And thu3 prepared, the pupils
of the Great Jehovah gradually devel
oped the lessons of d'.vine providence,
and became in turn teachers of man
kind. By the holy influences of Friend
ship, Love and Truth we have assisted
in laying the corner stone of this edifice
which is to replace the structure recent
ly destroyed by the devouring flame.?
"Troth crushed to earth shall rise again, j
' The eternal years of Grace are hers,
While error, struggling, writhes in pain '
And dies amid her worshippers."
We behold truth in her divine char
acter, from the sublime heights of Rev
elation, looking down earth challeng
ing the obedience and reverence of all
men, surrounded by clouds of witness
es of her divinity, clothed in the bright
drapery of Heaven, she , announces the
love cf God, and proclaims the author
ity of his Sonl ' The song of dateless'
centuries, like a sea of light, roll around
the throue of her glory; on her garments
are the diiat and blood of unnumbered
cnflic;ou her brow the beaming of
mercy sits enthronedrfresh, bright'and
beautifulj as when she first pointed out
the star which rose oyer the manger of
Bethlehem, and. the liquid melody of
Heaven first fell upon tne ears of linen',
proclaiming glory teGod in the highest,
on earth peace and good will; ' r
Friendship, Love and Truth, three
beacon lights aloDg the rough and
stormy coast of Time. Three precious
jewels iri the diadem of our order.
Three -golden links that came from
earth to glory. In conclusion we invoke a
continuous blessing upon this hallowed
place: may the angel of true charity
ever find a pleasant and peaceful abode
in the midst of cOngenhd hearts, hav
ing laid the corner ; store with the in
fluences of the pure chrystal waters of
friendship, the fragrant flowers of
Love, and the exuberant) seed of Truth.
We earnestly hope and trust the building
may soon be completed and that as the
pillar of cloud by day, and the burniDg
flame by night, manitested the visibie
presence m the Great Jehovah with his
Israel, so riiay his presence be manifes
ted in this church and: among this peo
ple by the; plenteous outpouring of his
holy spirit, and the growth increase
ana prosperity ot the church.
May this church, aa a healthful tree
beside the invigorating stream, increase
and continue to spread her branches and
may many be brought beneath . the
healing influence of her ample told--may
the pure chrystal waters of friend
ship ever manifest themselves among
ner jouQwers, May the Iragant flowers
of loye ever entwine themselves about
thtir hearts; and the exuberant seeds
of truth spring up and yield an abun
dant harvest in their souls. And final
y, may the Lamb which taketh awav
the sins ol the World become the chief
corner stone of our highest aspirations.
