THE CoLoRED MAsoNs.-A colored subscriber
writes us that he has made some inquiries con-
corning the legality OF the two Grand Lodges of
Colored Masons in this State, and has received
information which leads him to believe that only
one Of them, the Harmony Grand Lodge, is Qn
the Masonic acccptation of the word) legal Or
ganization.
The note which is too long for us to print en-
tire, states that on the goth Of September 1884,
that Prince Hall and other colored men of Boston
received charter with power to open lodges from
Lord Howard, Grand Master, under his Royal
Highness, Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland,
Grand Master OF all the Masons throughout Eng
land
That under this authority lodges were establish
cd, and warrant for Grand Lodge was applied
for and received, and such lodge established in
Boston. This Grand Lodge was very successful,
New Jersey, Maryland and District Of Columbia.
On the 9th of December, 1915, Grand Lodge
was formed in Philadelphia, which worked har
moniously, and successfully establishing many
subordinate lodges, until 1878 when Union Lodge
No. and Harmony Lodge No. 8 rebeled against
the Grand Lodge and were duly expelled.
In 1885, the two lodges thus expelled put
forth n publication stating that they had re-
ceiyed a warrant from the Grand Lodge of white
Masons Of Ohio, then sitting at Chiicothe, where
it is asserted the Grand Lodge of Ohio never sat,
and proceeded to organize lodges until 1917 when
the Grand Lodge OF Boston Issued call for a
convention to harmonic into one body all the
colored Masons of the United States.
In accordance with this call the Grand Lodges
of Boston, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Maryland, and the Hiram Grand Lodge met
and formed what is known as "The NJ. W. Ma
tional Grand Lodge Of Free and accepted Ancient
York Masons of Color for the United States of
North America, and the Masonic Jurisdiction
thereunto belonging.
The body thus formed worked successfully for
some time, when the Hiram Grand Lodge again
withdrew and were formally expelled from the
order.

whatever of the merits of the controversy we
publish it, that all may be heard, but
we regret exceedingly that any controversies
should divide our colored citizens at time like
this when the interests not only of their race but
of our whole nation, demand of them harmonious
action

III. MARY y vs.. INDEPENDENT NINE.
This game which was postponed from Satur-
day, June 9Th, In consequence of unfavorable
weather, took plnce last Saturday afternoon on
the 81. Mary's ground, adjoining the College.
The day was all that could be desired, and the
contestants and the field were in excellent condi-
ton. The superb batting of the 81. Mary's to-
gether with the fine fielding of their opponents
contributed to render the contest close and ex-
citing and on the game being called at o'clock
In accordance with q previous agreement, eight
innings were found to have been scored, result
ing in a victory for the St. Mary's, by score of
"a to 20.

and merted applause from all quarters of the
field, the striking Of r. and w. Condor and Lally
winning even the plaudits of their opponents
AS an evidence Of the excellent fielding of the
Inter club 1t Is only necessary to state that but
one home run was made during the game, and
that In consequence of a splendid strike made by
X. Condor Of the st. Mary's, who succeeded In
reaching his home base with time to spare. A

his decisions A return game will doubtless be
played, before the College commencement. The

The article terms the opinion as ''cutting
the heart out of the Reconstruction bills,
and after making reference to the necessi-
ties which led Congress to pass them, says !:
There have been uneasy rumors from
Washington, and fearing the worst, we have
earnestly implored the President to be wise
and take no perilous step. Stanberys first
opinion came. We submitted to it. 1t
made little difference practically in the oper-
atoms of the bill. There were some things
about it that were unfair, but we did not
wish to borrow trouble, or to unnecessarily
embarass the Administration. The second
opinion, however, strikes at the very heart
OF the bill. 1t reduces the military power
to mere police force, to keep order and
prevent assault and battery. All the orders
of the military commanders are critisized as
transcending their powers. Gen. Robin
sons order preventing whipping the wise
code of Sicklcs, Pope's interfering with a
Rebel Mayor, Sheridan's removals of Wells,
Monroe, and Abel, are denounced as viola
tions of this law. "Their education and
training" says Mr.. Stanbery, shave not
sheen of the kind to fit them for the deli
s'cate and difficult task of giving construc-
"tion to such statute now as that under
consideration" We fear this reflects on
Gen. Grant also, for we find him as far back
as March 2S ordering all State and local
elections to be disallowed in Alabama-un-
| til the arrival of the commander and "his
| order in the premises" We also fear that
Mr.. Stanbery means to sheer at the ''educa-
''tion and training" of our President; for
in the veto message that officer denounced
the bill because it did what the Attorney
General claims it was never intended to do!
In other words, Congress-the generals
commanding-G Grant, and even the
President-are wrong and Stanbery is right
The civil governments must stand. They
are independent and integral. The civil
officers must be respected. They are chosen
by ''the people, and can only be replaced
by ''the people," Congress expressly calls
these commonwealth "Rebel States.
Stanbery says they must not be molested
Congress ordains that these communities
must not be allowed to interfere with the

If this country is again to be plunged into
melstrom of political passion-if we are
to go back to strife and confiscation rather
than forward to peace and prosperity, the
people will not forget the good so nearly
| achieved, nor excuse those by whose mad
ness the cup has been dashed from their
| lips. The Military Reconstruction bill was
passed in defiance of the Presidents best
efforts and those of the Democratic minority
in Congress. The latter combined with the
Stevens wing of the Republicans to defeat
| the far milder measure proposed by Senator
Sherman, and thus managed to render the
| measure actually passed much harsher to-
ward the Rebels than it otherwise would
have been. Being passed, the President We
toed ii in message Of remarkable asperity,
even for him, but which exists to prove that
he thoroughly comprehended and proclaim
| ed that the power of the Military Comman-
ders in the five Military Districts was made
virtually absolute. They could not infict
the peneitJ, ef daetl, 'vitl,eut ti,o Prosident's
approval; beyond that, their authority was
bounded by no other limits than those of
their several districts. Within those limits
each was temporarily an autocrat, without
qualification or rivalry.
Three months of this rule has gloriously
vindicated itself. The South was never be-
fore so quiet so free from violence and op-
preston. Murders and murderous assaults
are almost unknown. Blacks have at length
rights which Whites can only assal at their
own grave and imminent peril. No one is
molested in person or property by the ruling
power. In spite of famine and a very gem
eral deficiency Of teams and implements,
the people are generally at work and are
steadily improving their condition. The
suflerings are fewer to-day than they were
when the act was passed, and they will be
still fewer two months hence. No ones
property is confiscated, and the last prisoner
on account of the Rebellion is out of jail
The voters are being rapidly registered,
and everything is being made ready for cleo
tons in all the Rebel States at very early
day. In short, while there are fewer outra-
ges reported in all the ten States under mil
itary rule than in Tennessee alone, they are
all moving rapidly and prosperously toward
speedy reconstruction and self government.
The Impeachment project is virtually ADAM
doned, the President more kindly regarded,
and the bitterness of hate engendered by
our terrible conflict fast giving way to
more generous and traternal spirit.
Such are the auspices under which the
President sees fit to challenge Congress and
the People to a new trial of strength. For
getting or ignoring his terrible lesson of last
year, he says, in effect" will circumvent
land nullify the act of Congress which my
"yeto did not suffice to defeat" And so
we are plunged into new struggle, where
OF the end is clearly forseen, but the pro-
gress cannot fail to be disastrous.

WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE.

I. X. 1. 8. Thirteenth Anniversary.
Notwithstanding the very unpleasant weather,
on Tuesday evening, there was q pretty fair
tendance at the anniversary entertainment Of this

The exercises opened with prayer by Rev Mr.,
Longacre of Baltimore. This was followed by A
beautiful Anthem, Behold what manner Of Love, .
