lev delivered a Masonic address be-
fore about 10,000 Masons, at Boston,
on the 24th of June last, in which
he said that the rehabilitation of Ma
sonry in the South would include
negroes. The st. Louis Freemason
understands that the address gave
great dissatisfaction to the assem-
bled Masons of every shade of poll
tics, 1t asserts also that Masonry
was not demoralized in the South
during the war and needs no rcha-
bilitation upon any basis whatever.
Her affairs were desccrated, it is
true, her jewels scattered and stolen,
but she survived, and was the first
form to walk abroad as the storm
subsidized to hail the return of peace
and to heal the wounds of war.
The Freemason says: Every
Mason in the United States knows,
or should know, that every social
cd negro lodge of Masons in Amer
lea is clandestine, working without
any authority or warrant from re-
cognized body, and every legitimate
Mason who recognizes them as such
is a periurer before God and the
bretheren."
