east-tbe removal by death from his earthly field
of labor, one of tho tried, and true, and early
friends of the anti'slaverS cause. Many OF those
who attended our Anniversary here a few year:
since, became somcwhat acquainted with CHARLIE,
F. HOvEr, whom company with his friend
Francis Jackson-was then present at our annu

saddened by The feeling we shall not meet hin

THE GAINESVILLE CAPTURE.

We mentioned last week that q fugitive had
spite of some very determined opposition. A writ
of habeas corpus WAS served upon the Marshal,and
the result is given by the Courier as follows.
upon the first point it was claimed that the aw
was unconstitutional, in the provision couferring
upon Commissioners judicial powers, and upon
the second point that the certificate granted to the
claimant did not comply with the Requirements of
the 9th section of the act of 1850, Fugitive slave
Taw) and did not confer upon the claimant author
ity to hold the alleged fugitive.
"The Court had no doubt of the unconstitition
atty of the law in that respect, but insomueh as it
had received the sanction Of tho Supreme Court
of the United States and of various Circuit Courts,
it was not the province of .his Court to put its own
Interpretation Of the law in opposition to such de-
cisions. The only remaining question in the case 10
be relied upon by counsel was as to the regularity
of the certificate granted to the claimant 1t was
claimed that the certificate did not set forth the
substantial facts of the labor or service due
from the alleged fugitive to the claimant and
of his escape from Virginia to Ohi,. The rule Of
construction which the Court held in passing upon
the suficiency of the return and certificate was Of
the strictest character, the Judge holdingthat unless
such certificate complied not only with the spirit
but with the strict letter Of the law it was his duty
to discharge from custody. Under this rule of
Interpretation, he held that this certificate was
strictly within the le,terof the law and he accord
ingly reranded the fugitive into the custody of
the Marshall"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

FRirNp JONES, I would like to inquire, through
your columns, whether there are any Masonic
Lodges in the country, cotposed of colored people.
If so, did they obtain their Charter" from q
Grand Lodge in America, or did they apply some
where else 2 Could colored people get q Charter
in this land, or obtain admission into a echitc
Lodge2
Very respectfully yours,
BEJLEFoNTAINE, Iowa.
In reply to the above queries we would say, (1st)
There are Masonic Lodges in this country-a
Grand Lodge, if we mistake not-composed ex-
clusively of colored persons. t2nd) Not being n
Mason, nor acquainted with the secrets Of the craft,
we can only repeat what we have heard from 9TH
ers, in regard to the source from which colored
Masons obtained their charter believing our in
formation to he reliable. They applied to the
Grand Lodge in America, bit were refused. being
negroes, and obtained one from the Grand Lodge
in England. I3rd) Colored persons, we presume,
could readily obtain q charter, but not from the
Grand Lodge in America; or if they did, from the
very nature of the case, their rights and privileg'
es would be restricted. They would be neither
free" nor accepted masons'-not free to 60 in.
to the lodge of their white brethren, not accepted
as MEMBERS of the craft entitled to equal privi'
leges.
The Masonic fraternity in this country is q ma
tional organization, extending South as well as
North the same is true of the Odd Fellows, and
the Sons of Temperance. However Democratic
some of the northern members Of those organiza'
tons may be, it would never answer to admit the
colorod man upon terms of equality, for that
would offend their brethren in the South. Imag'
inc if you can, the CONSERVATION of a Masonic
Lodge in South Carolina, upon having a Niger
give the pass word and the grip. and take his seat
as of right. Fancy, if it DO possible, the indig'
nation of Virginia odd Fellows upon seeing a col.
ored brother approach them clothed in full mem
bership. Strive 10 conceive the utter disgust With
which those of the Ghivalrous woman .~whiprers of
Kentucky who don't drink rum, would regard a
dark skinned Son, who, clad in the regalia of tie
order. should claim a recognition of Brotherhood
in the name of "tove, Purity, Fidelity"
1t may safely be set down as q general rule, and
one which perhaps has no exception, that in this
country all organizations which are national no.
only in name, but in fact, do not recognize the
equal brotherhood of man. This is alike true of
benevolent, philanthrOpic, religious, and political
associations.

WAR IN EUROPE.

Tho last arrivals from Europe bring intelligence
which Looks rather badly for the preservation Of
peace there. Austria is determined to rule in the
Italian States, and France is determined she shall
not. Sardinia appears to BIO the pivot upon which
events are expected to turn. Austria has made
demands upon her. which she appears disposed to
resist. If an attempt is made TO coerce her,
France stands ready to step in to her assistance,
in which event We may expect to see the continent
in a blaze.

A BRUTAL LEGAL MuRDER.-On tho Friday OF
last week the Sheriff of Chicago murdered in cold
blood, Michael McNamce upon whom the Court
had passed sentence OF death. He first tried to kill
him by the French mode of hanging, which con-
sists in putting about the neck a wide belt of stiff
leather, having eyelet holes at the ends, through
which the rope passes. With this be was allowed
to fall eight feet, but the heavy jerk broke the
rope, and he fell dfteen feet further to the floor OIL
the basement Of the Jail. After being kindly re
stored to c. hsciousness, a running moose was pre-
pared, and the result is thus stated by the Chicago
Tribune
'Bg some misadjustment, the second time the
knot slipped aside, and the neck was lot broken.
When the body had hung fourteen minutes the
heart circulation was still apparent, though faint.
The struggles of the expiring wretch continued
for some minutes"
We trust that the favored few who &itnessed this
atrocity, together with the MANY who read of it,
will be greatly benefttod by THE knowledge that
McNamee, who killed his wife when he was drunk
and didn't know what no was doing, has, /" turn;
been killed by the Sheriff of Chicago; Who was not
drunk, and did know what he was doing.
