The Freemasons and the Pope.

The Freemasons Of Lyons have just pub.
lished areply to the Popes allecution against
Freemasonry. II is addressed to the Sovereign
Pontiff of the Catholic Apostolic and Roman
religion" We extract from it the following
passages.
"Such is a faithful analysis of your allocu.
ton of September 25. 1t onits nothing-not
very Christian wish to see US crushed for the
good of the Church. Such an attack would
justify virulent reply. Ours shall be calm
We have the consciousness of the justice of our
cause and the probi:y of our intentions and our
acts. Be good enough to hear. In our noble
France and in our time nobody is condemned
unheard. In Rome, to its shame, it is other
wise. Perhaps you would have cited 10 to
your bar. The law Of freemasohry, Of which
you are ignorant, would have replied for us.
Its first article is literally as iollows 'Freema.
sonry, an institution essentially phianthropic,
philosophic and progressive, has for its object
the investigation OF truth, the study # uiver-
sal morals, science and art, and the exercise of
benevolence.'-lts second is this: SIN the high
position which it occupies, freemasonry respects
the religouS-faith and the political opinions tf
each OF its members, but it formally prohibits
In its assemblies all discussions Of religious or
political subjects, having for its aim controversy
as to different&elsi, u, or criticism Of the civil
oubuVtlty lOTuS VI SONtTll
ment. 1t is necessary for us to explain our
sympol? In our opinion liberty is an imp-
scriptible right, which has its absolute limit
alton in the liberty of others. You call all
men bretheren, and we need not inform you
that egotism is short.sghted kind of clever
ness. reciprocal affection ought to unite
1nen: they owe one another mutual aid; we re
mind them that the rights of each have rig.
orous equivalent which is called duty. We
believe that we possess sufficiently precise
idea of what isjust and what is unjust. For
us the end never justifes the means. We
reckon by thousands our adhercnts and our
lodges. If this sketch Of our doctrine is untrue
it will call forth numerous denials. We wait
the result. 'Why,' say the freemasons in con
clusion, srerroach US for holding our meetings
with closed doors, when you know the moment
we shall possess the liberty Of assembling
like that which the church possesses, our doors
will be opened never to be closed again

Even if the Clerk Of the House of Repre-
sentatives should read the names of mem.
bers claiming seats from the South, they
could not act uEtil sworn in; and thesoath
is such that no active participantin the re:
bellion can take it. This fact so narrows
the field of selection that in some few
Southern districts competent men cannot
be found. But it would be better TO- takea
man ignorant of politics, who had been
oonscripted, against bis will, into the
Southern. army, than the ablest man in the
South if he has been prominent in the re-
bellion. There will be such deafening
hullaballoo raised by the Radicals over men
who are not sound, such a raking up and
parading of anteoedents, such. charges of q
readiness to commit perjury, that even a
few black sheep in the Southern delegations
would greatly prejudice the policy Of the
President. The South ought to take warn
ing by the avowed opposition of the Presi'
dent, which is at present so rapidly devel-
oping among the Northern Radicals. The
contest in Congress is likely to be fierce and
passionate, and We trust the South will SO
act as to aid their friends, not their ene-
mics" !

REMARKABLE AFFAIR IN A CHURCH.-
Considerable excitement has arisen in Jer.
sey City in consequence of groans, yeils and
unearthly sounds said to emeDate from q
church in the upper part of Jersey City for
some nights past. The 6rst known of these
mysterious sounds was some ten days since,
when the pastor had occasion to return to
the church after evening services to procure
some manuscript which he had forgotten
and had occasion to make use Of. The edi.
fee had been closed for the night, and was
in total darkness. q
The New York Times says . -
"On entering, he lit match, to guide
him along the aisle; and when approaching
the altar at the rear, his attention was at
tracted by a low moaning sound, which
gradually increased and at the same time
drew nearer to him. To this he at first paid
no heed, presuming it to be the antics of
mischievous boys; but presently the sounds
changed to seemingly unearthly yells,
shrieks and groans, from innpmerable in.
visible beings clustering around in close
proximity to his person, until finally his
feelings were SO wrought upon that be felt
impelled to leave the building with all pos
sible haste. The above are substantially
the facts of the case as stated BY the pastor
of the church to Chief of Police McManus
after reports were beginning to be circulated
in the neighborhood that the church was
haunted, and requesting that the matter
might be kept as quiet as possible, be.
lieYing that in o few days at furthest he
would be able to unrayel, the mystery and
satisfaotorly explaint the cause fthe sounds.
Since that time:the church edihee has been
thoroughly examined, inside and out, but
without unraVelling the mystery; and mean
