The Masonic Controversy.

We are really at loss to know wha, to
do with the number Of letters received the
past week on a subject that has excited
some interest in our county. We do moi
desire to keep up the controversy to the
isjury Of any one; and. as we remark
cd last week. we had intended TO close
our columns TO any further communi-
cations; bat it has been suggested to US
shA, by so doing we may possibly be doing
injustice TO those who claim 10 be Masons.
Lest such charge be made, and that those
claiming to be Masons may set themselves
right before the community. should they
choose so to do, we have concluded TO
change our previous determin alton, and
give them an opportunity Of explaining
she objects Of their organization. II. how
ever. anything personal is contained in
such explanation. we will reserve the right
to use our discretion abou, publishing it.
We have on hand some four communi
cations. on this subject, some in the humor-
Gus and others in the serious vein, in reply
10 the letters in .our last. We have con-
cluded to defer their publication until we
know whether the Fraternity" desire to
keep up this controversy. We trust our
good friends will not find fault with US 10,
30 doing; and, indeed, we think they will
not when they seriously reflect upon it.
No communications can appear in our
columns, unless the name OF the author is
given TO The editor.
