The ODD FFLtOWs AND THE NEGRoEs.-One
of the newspapers having stated that the col ored
Clergyman, recently arrested here charge of
,hrf, had certificate of Odd Fellowship abou;
him, the editor of the Golden Rule, the organ of
the order in this city, comes opt in a statement
that there must be mistake somewhere. He
says there co'ored members connected with
the Independent Order Qf Odd Fellows in The
United States. The Manchester UnitY some
years ago, granted dspensation to negro appli-
cants from the United States, Informed,
after the request had been utterly refused by the
order mere. But tn is statement is in turn correct
ed by the Cor. Sec. of the uniyersal !. 0. of
u. F., who stalea that
"Ihe Manchester Unity have never granted
dlspensaton to negro applicants. They granted
the original dispensation to the Independent Order
Of Odd Fellows in the United States, which body
continued in connection with the Manchester
Unity up to The year lS42, when they seeded
from it. Since that time the Manchester Unity
has granted dispensations for lodges to members
in the United States. who haye subsequently form
ed themselves into body, known by the name
p The Universal Independent Order of Odd Fei-
lows, and are still acting in union with the Man
Chester Unity; but there are no coOred members
IN nconnectIon with them. The Order Of Odd Fell
lows n the United States, composed of the color
ed population, had their dspensation granted TO
them by the Grand United Order OF Odd Fellows
oywhlch name they are s known in the United
States"
The "universaP' Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, stands however in the same category
with the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows OF
Argroes. They are not recognized bv the |. .. OF
" r. IN the United States, and their Universe
comprises small territory only here. These
Sarous orders of Odd Fellowship originating in
hFeat Britain have constituents among the free
legroes of the United States, of Canada and the
West Indies, kind of constituents the |. y. of
w. F. In the United States, have wisely excluded
ifom among them Their constitution admits free
''palte male citizens" only.-N Y. Express.
