I've learn that the Linn county fair grounds are
in rapid course of completion. Workmcn are
busily engaged erecting pavilion, stables, stock
pens aud peanut stands" The race-course in
connection with the grounds is said to be by far
the finest in the State. The agricultural exhibi-
ton commences on the ID day of October, con-
tihuing four days, and the fail races commence on
the 10th, continuing three days. Several horses
already in training for the "turf," and lively
time is confidently anticipated by the sport-loying
portion of onr community. The fair is expected
to be onsof the finest and most extensive county
exhibitions ever held in the State, and will un-
doubtedly be well attended. We are prepared to

The Result of the Elections.

The best resume Of the elections heId
last Tuesday we find in the Richmond
Times, of. Wednesday. 1t will give our
readers pretty good idea, no, only Of the
result, but Of the effects ON the present
political condition Of the country:
Twelve States, on yesterday. passed
Judgment upon the issue which has been
raised between the President and Con.
gress. New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas. Massachusetts
and Nevada make up the dozen. OF
these States, Maryland and Missouri
deeply and oobly sympatbize with tho
South, but the voice Of their best citizens
has heretofore been stined by registry
laws, which were enforced during the way
by Federal bay yonets, and are now sus.
tained by the most brazen and atrocious
ou,rages and frauds. OF this sort of law,
lesness, we have just had precious spe.
cimen in Baltimore, and doubtless in
many parts of Missouri there was enough
of it on yesterday. In all the rest of the
twelve States which voted on Yesterday,
radicalism has been running riot for maay
months, except in New York, New JERSEY
and Delaware, and in the Empire State,
the great city OF New York of late has
opposed brave but invariably unsuccess-
ful resistance to the radical agricultural
districts, where the soul Of old John
Brown seems to be always marching on
With these exceptions. Massachusetts, 10
the type OF all the rest, and that State,
although psrpetually boas,ing Of her NOR,
ali.v, pie,y and intelligence, yesterday
doubtless elected notorious thief aud
di.graced coward to Congress, because of
his hostility to the Southern people.
Except slight gains, which were anti,
cipa,ed in New York and New Jersey, NO
one expected anything bu. defeat aud
continued revsrses to the conservative
party in the election. on Yesterday. The
loss OF member Of Congress here, or .
gain there, will in no respect control or
change the complexion Of the nex. Con.
gress. OF the ninety one members of
Congress who were, elected on Yesterday,
We think it probable that at least seven.
ty five were Republicans. In the seven
States In which elections we're held soma
weeks ago, sixty Republicans were elected
and twelve conservatives. or the present
Congress Of one hundred anG ninety three
members, one hundred and fhy are Re.
publcans. and forty three are Democrats
or conservatives. We think the probs.
bilities are all in favor OF tho strength q
the Republicans being jus, as great in the
next Congress as 1t is 10 this. They will
probably have a surplus Of at least twsn,
ty five over the two thirds, which enables
tfem to bid defiance to the veto of The
President. Congress is now on,nipotsnt,
and a worse despotsm never scourxed
any country, age or people. The atroci-
ties OF the thirty tyrants,' and the mon.
strous vices Of the French Ass embly,' ia
the days Of Danton, Marat and Robsi
spiar'e. promise TO find aparallel in The
revolutionary body which now riots in
lawlsss power at Washington"

Why Masons Celebrate the oath of
June.-St. Johns Day.

Masonic Lodges IN ancient time were
dedicated to King Solomon. Tradition
informs us that they were thus dedicated
from the building Of the first temple at
Jerusalem, to the Babyonish captivity.
From that time to the coming Of the
Messiah, they were dedicated to Zsrubba
bel the builder of the second temple; and
from that to the final destruction of the
temple By Titus IN the reign Of the Elm
peror Vesr asian, they were dedicated to
st. John the Baptist.
Owing to the many massacres and dis
orders which attended that memorable
event, Freemasonry fell very much into
decav. Many Of the lodges were broken
up, and but few could meet with sufficient
me'u bers TO constitute their legality
Under these circumstances a general
meeting of the craft was he'd in the city
OF Benz min, when it WAS observed that
the principal reason for the decline of
Masonry was the want Of Grand Master
to direct its affairs. They, therefore,
deputed seven Of their most eminent
members to wait upon ST. John, the
Evangelist, who was at that time Bisbop
ct Eph-sus, to request him to take the
office OF Grand Master. He returned for
answer that, though well stricken in wears
(heing upwards Of ninetv,) yet having
been in the early part Of his life Initiated
into Mas nry. he would take upon himself
tha, Office He did so. and comple,ed
by his learning what ST. John the Banti.t
had accomplished bv his zeal After bis
d"cease the Christian Lndges were dedi
Gated to him and ST. John the Baptist,
ho'h OF them being regarded as eminent
G ristian patrons Of Mssonrv. Snce then
Mtsons have ever celebrated the 24th OF
Jnne in conm mernnration Of ST. John the
Baptist, and the 9th Of D-cember in
conmemoraton OF St John the Evan
ge'is,.- Flag ofMe Union.
