The Grand Lodge of Masons of the State of
Mississippi, have been in session in Vicksburg
for ~ eek past and have recently adjourned.
A finer body ofmen we have never seen assem-
blcd. and we learn that their deliberations were
harmonious and interesting.
On the day, OF the installation Of the Grand
officers, almost numerous and highly respecta-
BILE audience assembled at the Presbyterian
Church to witness ceremonies, which were high
ly interesting. The Hon. Chancellor Scott
delivered an Grafton Astounding i'm the choicest

congratulate the Grand Lodge upon the good
taste and judgement they have displayed in the
reelection of our talented and distinguished
frieEd, Giles M Hillyer, Esq, to the Grand Mas

Grand lodge havs determined to meet again al

Well: after all, the Democracy Of MISSISSIPPI
pi are The 'born thralls" of jeff. Davis, the lit
Gle chicken-cock Of the disunon squad Of tie
South; for, contrary to our expectations, they
have obeyed his mandate, registered his edict,"
and elected him Senator to succeed Steph-n
Adams.
Upon what meat has this Caesar fed, Tint he
hath grown SO great! What right has he to
carry off all the choicest honors and preferments
OF the State and General Goyernmentsi What
has he done for his State or for bis party? He
has not served his party SO long as Thompson,
Matthews, and others we could name, any of
whom have more real solid talent, and oil Of
whom, with all their faults put together, are
less selfish, less arrogant than Davis. During
the lifetime of Roger Barton, that great man
and tireless partisan was constantly overslaugh-
ed by jeff. Davis or some other fonrth-rat
whipper-snapper of the Southern part of the
Senate.
And Is North Mississippi never to have Ell
Their of the Senatorships, at the hands of the De-
mocraoy4 Where does the great bulk of the
strength or that party lie, if not in the Northern
portion of the State! And who have contribu-
ted so much to swell that strength as Barton,
Thompson and Matthews!
We are clearly of opinion that North Mis-
sissippi has been badly treated by the Democra-
cy. But we shall be told, probably, that it is
none of our business. Possibly it is not; but
we like to see fair-p,ay even among our oppo-
nents. jeff. Davis before the election to the
Senate, had already been rewarded far beyond
his deserts, and the Northern democracy Of the
State have, we believe, never yet been honored
with Senatorship. if we accept the executive
appointment of Mr.. Chalmers to Gil short I'M

sides, it is presumable that the people of Mi
sissippi would, if they had chances oppose the
selection of Davis to succeed Adams:for all will
remember that he made an experiment for Gov
ernor, few years ago, against man who had
more bitter enemies, and was confessed more
unpopular, personally, than almost any other
public man In the State, and as all know, Mr..

The Circuit Court of Warren, has been now
in session here for the last three weeks, Hon..
s. Yerger, presiding. Many cases have been
despised, of both civil and criminal, and lawyers
litgants and the people at large seem perfectly
delighted with the new Judicial Officer.
We learn that the charge of the Judge to the
Grand Jury was one of the ablest. most perspic-
uous and profound ever delivered in the State
OF Mississippi. The action ofthe Grand Jury,
has shown that the truth it embodied fell not
upon rock -for they have zealolsy set them
selves to their work. and have found in indict-
ments in every instance, where the evidence
permtted--from crimes Of the highest to those
Of the lowest grade. Many of these cases have
been brought to trial and with scarcea solitary
exception, conviction has followed SHOWING the
importance ola rigid Judge. for inanifestly the
Juries, reflect the Judge. 1t is notorious to all,
who have given attention to Criminal Courts,
that where the Judee is loose or Indifferent in
the administration Of the law, the juries will be
equally 50 in the verdict they render. There

A Good Example.

About one year ago it was stated in a New
Hampshire paper, says an exchange paper, that
noble woman of that State, the daughter OF
an old revolutionary patriot and the widow of
veteran Jackson Democrat, when bidding ad;eu
to one of her sons as he was about setting out
for the far west, looked him in the eye and said.
t'Son, never let me see your face, or hear from

the pride of her hesft-so sholN al good
American mother address her sons. every Amer
lean sister address her brothers, and every Amer
lean wife address her husband. That New
Hampshire matron had heard her patriot faith
er speak of the secret political associations that
preceded the Revolution, and of the immense
service they had rendered to the great cause OF
American Independence, and she had been an
attentive reader Of the American journals and
learnt from them the nature of the secret polit-
ical associations OF the Know Nothcgs and
the objects they aimed.at. She saw that they
were good.
Her intelligence convinced her that the re.
cent rapid organza Jon of secret foreign bands
in our county, had rendered them absolutely
necessary. Her reading had awakened het
mind to the startling fact that Romanism had
been using its secret political associations o.

to show their ability. As the Democrats have
so large majority, the Americans are pretty
much like poor man at frolic, and have not
much to say. The two Houses are progressing
slowly with the new Code, and passing local
bills, not giving much scope for the aspirant
for parliamentary honors. In the Senate they
are also reading the new Code and adopting and
amending it, and it bids fair to drag its slow
length along through the whole session, as but
two chapters are yet disposed Of.
