EXCITEMENT IN THE GRAND DIVISION of
THE Sons OF TEMPERANCE.-The annual
meeting of the Grand Division of Sons of
Temperance for the state of Massachusetts
was held at Mercantile Hall this morning. The
meeting was largely attended, and it is stated
that some of the proceedings were conducted
amidst much excitement.
A colored man, named Edward Walker, of
Charlestown, who had filled the chair of the
Monument Division of Charlestown, presented
his name for initiation into the Grand Divis-
ion, he being qualified, according to its own
laws, to become member of it.
Objection was made by several gentlemen
to his becoming member of the division, and
after some discussion a vote was taken which
resulted in his being admitted Upon the an
nouncementof the vote, it is reported that fifty
five of the members left the hall highly indig-
nant at the action of the division.
Mr.. Walker is a smart young lawyer of
Charlestown, and some years since, it is said,
made an effort to obtain admittance into the
Evening Star Division of that city. A vote
being taken, he was rejected, whereupon a
number of the members seeded, and formed
the Monument Division, in which he became
a member, and finally was elected to preside
over its deliberations.
