How to DO IL,

1t is reported that the Assistant Com
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau for
Georgia, General Tillson, has issued an or.
der, in which, noticing recent enactments of
the Georgia Legislature. comforting civil
rights on the freedmen, he declares " that
in consideration of. these enactnents the
officers of the Bureau will cease to exercise
the judicial functions conferred upon them
by the law establishing the Bureau, and by
previous orders.
That is to say, when impartial justice ID
done by the State laws and Courts, the Gen-
eral Government withdraws its arm. So in
the neighhorhood of Vickshurg. General
Wood sends all cases coming before him, as
Commissioner of Freedmen, first to the To-
cal courts and these bodies have, in sever
al leading and important cases, proved them
selves courts of jastice, ...-.--.
There is, we suspect, more bitter feeling
toward the Freedmen's Bureau, as at pres
emf constituted. in Northern Copperhead
journals, than in the minds Of reasonable
and intelligent Southern men. 1t is pity
that so many of the Southern people are
still excited and misled by false representa-
tons of writers who call themselves the
friends of 1.-THE South. 1t would be well
for Southern people to know the truth, that
whenever they do impartial justice them
selves. neither the officers of the Freedmen s
Bureau, nor those to be created under the
Civil rights act, will Interfere. IN, Y. Post.

The Confederate Democracy of this
State apparently want to get up anoth
er var The organ of the partyin this
County publishes approvingly articles
from the N. Y. News, in which the
President isviolently urged to act-the
role of Cromwell and turn the Repre-
sentatives of the People out of the
halls of Congress. In last weeks
Gazette we find an article from the
News, urging the President to violate
his oath of office by refusing to execute
the Civil Rights law, because, as. the
News says, 1--WE have no national Con-
gress" The News speaks of Congress
as San assemblage of usurpers," and
'i'an Unconstitutional Legislative body.p
The call for State Convention of
the Confederate Democracy in Ohio is
in the same strain.
Now, whose fault is it that these
Rebel States are not represented in
Congress They voluntarily left their
seats in Congress and engaged in war
to overthrow the Government, and at
the end of four years failed. Because
of their doing this, must we declare
that the States that remained loyal and
gave their blood and muscle and money
to sustain the Government, have no
power to legislate If the present
Congress is an unconstitutional legis-
lative body" then every Congress that
has assembled since the winter of
1S60l6l was san Unconstitutional
body" and all Of our legislation during
that time was illegal.
Let the People bear in mind that the
Representatives chosen by these Rebel
States are, without exception, fresh
from the Rebel armies and the Rebel
Congress; and that in none of those
States could man be elected unless he
had taken an active p art in the Rebel
lion, eitherin the council or in the
field They have in every instance
purposely elected men who could not
take the requisite oath. Must the
wheels oflegislation stop entirely until
these States are admitted to reprcsen-
tation. which, as ut present organized,
refuse to seni members entitled to ad-
mission, and insist on thrusting men
into Congress whose hands are. drip
ping with the blood Of loyal menP
These questions the People must be
prepared to meet the coming Summer
and falkland upon their decision de-
pends the veal or woe Of our country
for ages to come.

Sharp Practice.

Some years ago celebrated highwayman
was arrested for robbery; and while he was
thinking what good chance there was fol
him to escape. cunning friend (also in
trouhe) offered to help him fora reward.
- have two hundred pounds, said the
robber, - one hundred of which, ifyou save
me. shall be yours. 3" ,4. '.s .5.
Agreed. said the other. And now
all you have to- do is to tell me every particu
lar, word, etc., chat passed at the time you
committed the robbery; and when you are
brought to the bar, plead not guilty and
loave the rest to INC.
Then the highwayman related every word
and crcum stance that he could recollect as
having passed between the gentleman he
robbed and himself
At the trial, whenthe rebber was brough,
to the bar, he pleaded NOT guilty. Just a,
this time there was heard great hustle
among the visitors, which being loud enough
to disturb the court the usher was called
upon to explain the disturbance he report
ed that one of the prisoners said he had
something to say to the judge, who ilnme
diately ordered him to the bar, and asked
him why he disturbed the court. He then
assuming a pite0us countenance, told the
judge that, though he had been a wicked
fellow, his conscience would not permit him
to let an honest man suffer for crime that
he himself had committed upon which the
gentleman who was the prosecutor seemed
greatly Disconnected. The fellow then ad
drxAed himself to that gentleman, and re
peated every word that had passed between
them at the time he had robbed him, ana
had the impudence TO exhort him to take
care for the future how he swore away ar
innocent mans life. The gentleman stood
reproved. There's culprit was now acquit

The Meaning ofMasonry,

Many persons suppose that the institution
OF Freemasonry is altogether benevolent in
its character; that its constitutions and gen
eral regulations require that certain provi-
sion shall be made weekly for the sick, the
disabled, or the distressed This mistake.
No Masonic lodge is bound by constitutional
law to contribute to the support of any sick
or disabled member any stipulated sum per
week. Neither are they caliei upon to in-
eur expenses on behalf ofdeceased brethren,
in liquidating funeral expenses, &c. Nor
are they called upon, by any recognized law,
to support the widow of deceased brother,
or to foster or educate his children. Free
masonry is not an insurance company. 1t
does not require of those who knock at her
door for admittance that they all nay so
much per week, and have it returned to them
again in the form of benefits when they are
really sick, or would fcign the reality OF
indisposition. Nothing like this in Masonry.
And it has never deceived any OF its initi.
ates by telling them that the constitutional
rules and regulations of the order required
that few dollars should be doled out to
them per week, and that the order was
bound to furnish funds fer their decent
interment.
Freemasonry is a brotherhood. The
order recognizes and maintains the sublime
principle, that as one God created US all we
have a common parentage; and as God is
the father of the spirit of all flesh, those
who were created in His own image" are
brethren. The tenets of Freemasonry, in
incucating and enforcing these sentiments,
establish principle that does not require
stringent laws to show the brethren their
| duty nor are promises necessary to excite
the selfish propensities of our nature. The
whole system of Freemasonry is designed to
purify the heart; to make man deserve
the station of that race who were created
but little lower than the angle, and, while
the fraternal fire warns his breast, and makes
him feel that man is his brother, that no
law, save that of love, is necessary to force
him to the nath of duty. The one who un-
derstands Masonry as a sublime moral sci
ence, will here perceive that the duties which
he is called upon to perform in the fulfill
ment of his Masonic obligations, rise from
dignifed sense of his relations with his
fellow-men. The suffering man is his broth
er, and he should assist him. 1t requires
no law of lodge or council to enforce the in
junction, IF thy neighbor hunger, give
him meat; if he thirst give him drink; aud
if he lack raiment clothe him. - Wiggin.
