The BEGINNING Of the End.
We clip the following paragraph iron
Northern puper:

We clip the following paragraph from a
Northern paper:
The Massachusetts Grand Division, nt
the quarterly meeting in Ncwburypor on
"Wednesday last, resolved, 81 TO 10, to main.
tain the Subordinate Divisions to admit
members TO the Order without regard to
color. This is against tho Natona! Division
i'll Boston, which voted, rs TO 6, that it is
improper to admit colorcd men,"
We have little question but that, sooner
or later, the determination of Massachusetts
will be sustained by the National Division
and when that is done the South will of
course withdraw. In the meantime we
think that no person having card from the
Grand Division of Massachusetts should be
recognized inthe South as Son of Tenn
porance. The contumacy of that Division
should be treated, as, ipso tacto, forfeiture
Of their charter.

Washington Monument.

The Washington National Monument
Society was formed in 1893, by some of
the first men Of the nation. The plan was
To build the monument by voluntary con.
trlbutors OF 81 each. IN 1856 there
were contributed, OH this plan, $2S,OOO.--
TINS money was invested in safe stocks,
and The interest added yearly, until i, had
accumulated to nearly S5O,GOO.
with this fund to operate with, site
was procured, design for the monument
selected, and the foundation laid july Itb,
1923. The work has been steadily pro.
crossing from that period, and the original
pan OF erecting it hy voluntary contributors
IL stu adhered TO, but without the limj,a.
t!on to one dollar each. Large contribn-
IONS from the rich, and Her but moi less
patriotic offerings from those not classcd
among the wealthy, are alike acceptable
Every American ought to esteem it priv
llegc TO be- able to assist in this patriotic
work.
The monument will consist of two parts
"a lofty column or obclisk in the ccu;re.
and temple around It's base. The great
obclsk IN 'hc centre is the part now in pro.
gress, and to be completed first. This gre !,
structure is to be 800 feet hoh, SIS t,o,
centre II feet square. The walls arc Is
lect thick At the base and will be four and a
halt at the top, faced throughout, with
large deep blocks Of excellent white mar
blc More than 50 feet Of this lofty col
umn arc already completed, and it viii he
carried up an hundred feet year, if funds
are provided. The estimated cos, of the
obcllsk is half million OF dollars, Of which
nearly one hundred thousand have been al
ready received.
The Pantheon at the base, embraces a
circular colonnadcd building, $50 feet in
diameter and 100 feet high from which
springs the obclisk shaft, thus giving the
latter total elevation of 600 feet This
vast rolunda is surrounded by 30 columns
oi MASSIVE proportions, being II feet in
diameter and 40 fec, high, standing upon a
base OF 20 feet elevation and 300 fee,
square; surmountcd by an cntablature 20

RIcli DISCOVERY OF VEIN GoLD.-Thcre
Is no doubt on our minds that the mineral
wealth of California will be found incaIcu-
ply greater than even the most sanguinc
have hitherto imagined. Every days dis.
covery goes to confirm this opinion, and
tac,s within our knowledge warrant us in
saying that the present season vii Ering. to
light The most startling developments in
VEN or quartz mining. II in the low or
secondary hills few hundred fec, in heinht
onl y, in the San Jose valley, rich mines Of
gold ore arc found, Of which we spoke vcs-
terday, what may not be looked for in the
explorations among the mountain ranges on
either side! And If such results are found
III The coast mountains where no one cx
ncctcd much gold to exist, what will no,
the foot slopes OF the Sierra Nervada dis
close 10 the searching enterprise that is
now actively employed amidst their gorpcs,
and on the borders of their streams!
we are led to these remarks from cor.
tain remarkable discoveries of quartz uold
which have lately come to our knowleIre
from an unqucstlonablc source. Several
gentlemen, engaged in mining upon one Of
me northern rivers, in their explorations in
me adjacent mountains during the past
WINTER came upon vcn OF quartz where
The pure ore was observed in threads and
spang!es, beautiful to look upon. An cy.
animation took place, specimens taken from
various portions OF the rock, and such rude
tests as were at hand applied, with the most
~, nu''S'actory ana even astonishing results
l ne vein Is about thirty feet wide, and in
some portions so rich as to produce dollar
to an ounce of rock! a piece was knocked
OH weighing fourteen pounds, and submit
TED to the acton OF heat in blacksmilh's
Jorge, when The amount of thrly.lwod odollars
was sIncltcd from the rock. No, half Of
what II contained could be rot on, in such a
way; Other specimens have yielded from
dollar 10 two dollars TO a pound of the
rock' and the quantity of it Is represented
as literally incxhaustible. We shall have
some specimens from these mines IN n week
or two' wien We shall probably speak of il
again. The mother mines of California
are yet To be discovered, o! which the cold
