In response TO an inquiry from General schO-
Geld regarding the existence of the outstanding
obligations of the city of Richmond contracted
IN aid OF the late war, Mr.. William H. Macfarland,
Presloent OF the Council, has furnished an official
statement OF the amounts expended bv the city
during the war, as iollows:-
Arms including blankets, clothing,

Elliott Battalion. n....,................. 66O22'64
Making an aggregate OF. $50 457.s3
This amount was all paid in currency, and
much the larger portion of it in Confederate
notes, so that the city does not owe ANYTHING on
account Inereoi, unless, as is suggested the city
notes issued during the years 1861, 1852. varying
10 denominations from So down to ten cents,
$489, ,Oe3'80 of which is yet unredeemed and out
standing, can be construed to be debt due by
the city on that account. The haquiFtF and
EIdm .Ne7 says:-"lfit should be the intention
of the military authorities to cause what may
be considered the war debt of the city to be re-
pudiated, it can only apply TO the small notes
outstanding at this time. In this event the city
will make S4S9, ,983'S0, and the holders of these

An Entire Family An HenrIcO County
Poisoned.
Yesterday morning, shortly after the family
OF DIR. j. II. Patton, living in Henrico county
two miles east OF Richmond, had breakfasted
some of the children we're suddenly taken SICK
An investigation showed that they were poisoned
The Doctor used the proper remedies, and soon
had the poison out of their stonachs. Before
this was accomplished bis wife was taken sick,
and shortly afterwards himself DR.. Knox was
called in, and in a short while had restored the
entire family TO their usual good health. 1t is
thought that poison was placed in the batter of
which cakes were MADE for breakfast. A negro
man and bis wife are suspected of the crime. A
few days since the Doctor hired them, but on
Monday, detecting the woman in some derilec-
tion of duty, discharged her. She left the lot,
but the husband remained. Yesterday morning
Mrs. Patton prepared breakfast, and the whole
family .partOok heartily of the battercakes.
Both the man and woman have left for parts

KREE EITE.

The York hite Il ths basis Of all rites
that claim Masonic character. At first
there were but three degrees but, as
at present practiced, there are seven /.
Apprentice; 2. Fellow-Cr6ft; 3. Master (;
/. Mark Master 5. Past Master; s..
Most Excellent Master; :. Holy Royal
Arch. There are three other degrees, ap-
pendages TO this rite, viz, the order OF
High Priesthood, an honorary degree
conferred on the first officer Of a Chapter,
and the degrees of Royal and Select Mas
ter
We clip the above paragraph from
the Masonic Rerieto, published at Gin
einnati.
at first, there wGrc not three degrees of
the York or English Rite. There was
but onefeshe degree of apprentice. The
Masters degree, particularly, cannot be
traced much, if any, further back than
AID. 100. Tne Mark, Past, and M.
E.. Master are all modern inventions,
neither of them dating much back of
A.D. 1890, and, in their present shape,
being american degrees. We have the
Ritual of Master Mark MasOn,p as
worked prior to 1900, in South Carolina
and there is not the slightest resem-
blRnce between it and the present degree
Of Mark Master.
The r.. A.. degree was probably
made by Lawrence DermOtt. It is often
said that it originally formed 3 part Of
the Masters degree but that is not true,
in the sense that the ,Cork of it was part
of that degree. 1t is true that the t.
w. was given the Master after his ex-
altation, in the work used early in the
Eighteenth Century.
In 3 word, the seven degrees above
named, cannot with the least propriety
be called the York Rite. That Rite con
sists of the three first degrees only; and
our Chapter degrees never have been 8
part of it, anywhere.

HAIE.OnHElE

The Masonic word usually spelt hail
is more properly the English word hele,
from the ancient German hehleH, to con-
eeai. From this comes our word hell,
corresponding to the Greek Hsdes, and
the Hebrew sheol, the invisible, unseen.
aThese worGs thou shalt publish, and these
thou shalt hele '-ESDRAS.
Hels-pronounced hale--shOuld be
used in the catechism. The fact that
this Saxon word is found in the ritual of
Freemasonry proves the relation and
connection between the modern System
of Fremasonry and the German Build
ing CorpOrations.-Ol Oliver.
To hele meant, in the Anglo-Ssxon, to
couer; and in Suffolk, England, to hele
a hsuse still means to roof OF tile it. The
meaning of the word, in Masonry, is
therefore fgurative, like that of the
words tile and Tier. It does not prove
any connection between Freemasonry
and the German Building Corporations
but it does prove that the apprentices
degree existed very aneiently in Eng
/ land.

MAsoNrC INTELLIeEENCE.
THE BALLOT.

A case has recently occurred in one oi
our city Lodges, In which, upon ballot
after an unfayorable report Of Com
mittee, the candidate was actually
elected. We have been asked whether
it is the law that there must be ballot,
notwithstanding an adverse report. 1t
| is SO laid down in the Masonic Text book
Of Tennessee, and has been SO held else
where but it is evidently practice in
utter violation Of the ancient landmarks.
The Regulations compiled in ITO (Art.
vi declare, that Hno man can be en-
tered Brother in any particular Lodge,
or admitted TO be a Member thereof,
lvithOtt the unanimous consent Of all the
Members Of the Lodge then present aDAe7l
the candidate is proposed, and their con-
sent Is formally asked by the Master I;
and they are to signify their consent or
dissent in their own prudent way, either
virtually or in form, but with unanim-
ity."
And by Art. Y, previous notice Of one
month was required to be given the
Lodge, Z" in order to make due inquiry
into the reputation and capacity Of the
candidate"
The Lodge selects a Committee, ac-
cording to the present practice, to make
this inquiry for it; and when the Com
mittee reports that the Candidate is not
fiji person to be initiated or admitted,
the Lodge cannot reject or overrule the
report, or elect the person whom its
Committee has pronounced unfit.
For this report is the formal dissent of
the members Of the Committee, given
officially, and under the solemnity of all
their obligations ~ ----'r"- "a 'lie
HoOge has, after that, and as long as the
report stands, a right to vote for the Can
didate. There is no way of avoiding or
getting round this formal dissent, if the
report were no more than that. But it
10 more. 1t is equivalent to finding by
the Lodge itself Of the unfitness Of the
Candidate. There is no such thing as
recommitting the report or rejecting it.
If 4 ballot must be taken, it might hap
pen that no one Of the committee being
present, a candidate would be elected,
when each member of the committee, if
present, would have voted against him.
II that were to be done by a Lodge, it
ought to lose its chapter. ALodge has
no right to elect candidate when it is
known that q good brother, accidentally
absent, would, if he were present, vote
against the party.
OF course it is to be taken 20 be certain
that each member of . committee that
reports unfavorably, will vote against the
candidate, if a ballot is had. COnse-
quently, it Is always either a useless for
maIity, or else it is an outrage as a viola
ten Of the law that requires unanimous
consent. It is either unnecessary and
absurd, OF it operates as q trick. What
sort of a record is it that reads that q
committee reported that having inquired,
ETC., they End A. b. unfit to be initi-
ated-acheTeupon he was balloted for and
elected You make him a Mason with
sn official report Of his unfitness on the
files and record of the Lodge, which must
remain there perpetnally.
The truth is, that this is 8lOder8 Ma
sonic law, not made by any competent
authority, and in our opinion, simply
nonsensical.
