 MAsoNIc.-The Memphis Enquirer urges the erection of a Masonic Temple in that city, at the earliest possible titne, ,and adds the following:
 The triennial session of the Grand Char- ter of Royal Arch Masons. and the Grand Commandery of Knight Templars of the Uni ted States was held in Chicago last September. The meeting was adjourned to meet in Mem phis in 1862. This resolution did not pass. however, without great effort on the part of Col M. s. Ward, of Panola, Miss, and oth- CTS. The influence brought to bear by the New York, Boston, Louisville, St. Louis. and Richmond delegations, as we'll as others, was very strong in favor of it's being holden in their respective cities. But it was strongly urged by Col. Ward that the session had never been held farther South than Lexington, Ky .; that it had, in fact, never yet been really held at the South, that is, in the cotton grow ing regions, and that therefore it was no more than simple justice to their Southern brethren that the next triennial session be held at some point in the South, and Memphis was designated as the place, Of course Col Wards honor and the character of our city is somewhat at stake, for he assured that body that they would here have the same facilities they would enjoy elsewhere, and that he was confident, judging from the enterprise ol Memphians in almost everything else tha such temple as they needed would be erected here within the intervening time. We hope the members of this time honored institution will interest themselves in this enterprise We feel quite certain that our citizens would contribute liberally of their means for such purpose.

I would be esteemed ungrateful to those political friends whq have privately written and talked to ne upon the subject, by not ex- pressing my sincere thanks for the kind con sideration they have taken of my ability to discharge the duties devolving on a candidate for the Legislature, as we'll as the responsi- blity of legislator.
 These matters are left with you, to deter mine in the Democratic County Convention, which presume will soon be held, to nomi- nate your choice for Representative, and in that event l have no doubt the Democracy of the county will be satisfied. f, for one, will abide cheerfully by their action, whatever it may be-
 Believing, as do, the fairest mode of the the people expressing themselves is by Con- ventons, and the time-honored custom of ehe Democratic party of holding such, has fully expressed the great measures of their faith, which if carried out, the best interests of the country will be promoted; I shall wait their decision, and will, to the extent of my abili- tY, discharge whatever duty assigned me, whether in public capacity, or as a private State Rights citizen.
