Monday evening.
BRoTHsR CRANsros -
We have had rath-
er an Interesting session this evening"
Some Of the faithful, especially among the
Maine Law men, have been very anxio us
Tor a good while to get James A. Greene
into the Order. He was pro- osed some
weeks ago, and rejected by request. broth
er Curtis granted "dispensation" TO try
Mr.. Greene again over the course conse.
quently he was proposed second time,and
was second time rejected. The Maine
Law. men breathcd heavily and sighed deep
ly at this unexpected and disastrous result.
They felt the more anxious to get him in,
because the session Of the Assembly is rap
idly approaching, and they want to have
him picked in the faith so that he can re-
tain his seat on the bench of the Court Of
Magistrates in this city. In consequence
of this, after some effort, they obtained a
second ''dispensation" from that kind heart
ed man and particular pet Of Clarke Bur-
dicks, brother Curtis, and again put Mr..
Greene over the course, with good deal
Of confidence that he would certainly win
this time ; but the Fates were against him,
and he was again rejected this evening"
Brother Nathan NJ. Chafce was very much
exercised in mind at this result, and imme-
diately declared that no one else should be
admitted into this Council, intending to
have his forces present at future meetings,
so as to secde enough black balls to reject
oil applicants who were not of the right
stamp. But brother Chafec is not very
shrewd, and. cannot begin to cope whh the
old and wel-trained political hounds Of the
gallant bloody Fourth. Immediately aft
this announcement, Sylvester Il. Hazard,
the "man OF few WORDS" was proposed
and voted in, Notwithstanding brother
Shafee's threat uncle Sylvester was in
the neighborhood awaiting the result, and
was Immediately put through, and made
brother in good standing,-whcreupo he
made one of his most approved bows, and
said, 81 thank your honors." The Coun-
Gil, a, the suggestion Of brother Curtis, then
adjourned until four weeks from Wcdnes-
day evening the reason given by brother
Curtis for this was that The meetings were
so frequent, the brethren got confused in
regard to the nights !!!!!!!!!!!
Yours fraternally,
SAM.
