Dear Dispatch Last night, an audience
Of not less than 9, 500 persons, was addressed
of n G., and the Rev. Mr.. Ryerson, OF Cana,
da, West. The speeches gave universal
and elected the most raptufeao
applause from the auditory
In n previous letter, l attempted some ue-
scription of the Banner, presented TO tne.
National Division by the 1t. u. OF oou.n
Carolina. The papers this morning contain
the speeches made on the occasion, ana !
cannot refrain from quoting age one Pafag;sPn
from the speech OF Judge v Neal. IL Is III
these words:
Leaking upoa II, | SEQ Il presents the emblem OF
progress and Of ourselves, the Eagle; the united |
Il .es aud the represent our respective nation
alies and the Grand Divisions under our charge |
On the reverse, 10 the wreath surrounding the
dedication, are some embematic representations
of the different States British Provinces, and other
notions Of the EARTH who have or are about to bear
part In the glorious work OF the Temperance re-
form.
Temperance; she, therefore. isplaced at the base,
and with her sisters of the Middle aud Western
States, Qucludcg. OF course your own noble Onio,)

Tonight, there will be another public
meeting, to be addressed by Sam'l F. Cary,
Of Ohio, and Col. r. Fl. Buckley, of Ken
lucky.
The next Session of the N D., was fixed
this morning, to be held June, 1885, in the
town of Lexington, State of Kentucky
Previously the N. d. had determined not to
locate the body permanently at any point
The appeal of d. L. w. from the action
of the G.. d. of Virginia, was this morning
dismissed, the N. ID. thereby confirming the
construction of a law of the G. d. as held by
that body.
Upon the application of the G. w. P. Of
Va, dispensation was granted to the G. ID.
of Va, to hold the next Annual Session in
the month of November, instead of October,
if that should be deemed best.
An important alteration was made to-day,
in the Constitution of Subordinate Divisions,
by which the whole question of finance is
left to the discretion of each subordinate
The only restriction remaining, is that no
person shall be initiated into any division,
except upon payment of an initiation fee
of not less than ONE dollar. The law re-
quiring five cents per week to be paid by
each member has been repealed, and what,
ifany shall be so paid, is to be determined
by each subordinate for itself.
A modification of the provisions of the
Constitution, YVES madeSat the same time.
An application from several G. DIS for
permission to use the old ritual, or the new,
at discretion, was refused, so that no ritual is
the ritual of the order, save that last pro-
mulged by the N. d.
These are the more important items of
business transacted during the day. Other
be mentioned. 1t as horribly hot here to-
day. Yours, A.
