Signs, tokens, and words do not
constitute Freemasonry, but are To-
col marks whereby they know each
other, and may be altered, or en-
tirely done away, without the least
injury to scientific Freemasonry.
1t is with many Freemasons too alb
surd a belief, and still more SO in
practice, to build our science up
on so shallow foundation as signs,

A Chicasoan Arrested for Murder on tho
'3 Plains.
From the Chicago Tribunal

Ioul bao SAASA8S tap0A~ H |N
Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. B. @. Yates,
whom we mentioned yesterday in con-
n~ection with the capture Of the Elkhorn
bank robbers, arrested in the Sherman
House q young man named N. 8. Stick
ney, who is charged with being impli-
Gated in q murder committed on the
Plains, in October last. Another sup
posed accomplish, G. W. Black, was ar
rested on the previous day in Rockford,
and is pow lodged in the county Jail in
this city. The particulars Of the MUIR
der are as follows: Er.
Stickney, who had been residing in
Salt Lake City previous to leaving that
place formed the acquaintance Of Black,
and started for the Plains in company
with one J.. A. Bickering. Stickney had
made an arrangement with Black to pay
his way to Chicago on condition of re-
ceiying 200 feet Of silver mines in Pah-
ranagat; in the southeast portion Of Ne
vada. Bickering and Stickney then
proceeded together as far as North
Platte, Black following on horseback.
In the course of their journey a quarrel
arose regarding the loss Of q mule which
had strayed away from camp. The
three went out to search for the mule,
and Bickering mysteriously disappeared.
|, Suspicion attached to the two, young
'men, and the detectives have been ever
since on their track. Stickney is well
known in this city, where he is respect
ably connected. 1t is not supposed that
he is the author of the crime, but 1t is
suspected that be made of with q sum
of money which was the property ofthe
murdered man. The prisoner will be
taken from this city this morning.

The End of the Agony.

The State breathes freer, the Third
Nevada Legislature having expired by
the Grace Of God and a provision Of the
Constitution. We trust and hope that
there is no probability of its resuscita-
ton for the duties of an Extra Session.
The two notable political acts Of its
performance will rescue its name from
total ~obscurity. W. refer to the cleo
ton of Senator Nye and the passage Of
the Constitutional Amendments. The
general tenor of its conduct is by no
means creditable to itself as a whole or
the State which it was elected to serve.
Its working majority seems to have been
too much influenced by Insignificant
trifes and unworthy motives. To some
extent it has been subjected to a sort OF
Jesuit influence. It has passed, as in
duty bound, certain radical measures,
and has followed them with q general
conduct better fitted for q Democratic
body than one which was in name a
Union organization. Sterling ability
and a political integrity ~springing from
earnest conviction seem to have been
lacking. A spiteful enmity to the Gov
ernor would seem to have prompted
many of the otherwise inexplicable pro-
ceedings; and an impotence Of radical
requirements, a tendency toward an
Utopisn middle ground between Repub-
licanism and Copperheadism, seems to
have caused the apparent want Of q firm
and independent course with regard to
politics. Indeed, one cannot but con-
clude that an undue proportion Of mem
bers we're prompted to aspire to Legis-
lative honors by no higher or better mo-
tives than such as are ascribed to time
servers and spoils seekers. Perhaps
this is partly due to the manner in which
United States Senators are elected.
Doubtless it is. Be this as it may, an
impartial judgment of the late Legisla-
ture, while it will not be blind to the
men of real ability and inAexible hon
esty which it reckoned among its mem
beers, must pronounce its average char
acter to have been remarkably inferior
to that of the standard Of American
Legislatures in general. Giving it full
credit for the good which it has done,
we congratulate the people Of the State
upon its dispersion among its rightul
masters, the Sovereign people.-CdrsOn
Appeal. ".H.F.w

TIE FIRST OF New ENGLAND SHIP
BuILpERs.-The Boston Post says that
Mr.. Rufus Soule, of Freeport, Me-, has
built eighty vessels, which is the largest
number for any n nan in New Eng
land, and possibly in the country. Of
his vessels only four have been wrecked
to be q total loss. Mr.: Rideout, of Bath,
Me-, is the second builder of that State
in point of number. It is said he has
launched more than seventy vessels ;
but many of them, like those built by
Mr.. Soule, were small. In tonnage
built, Mr.. John Currier, Jr., of Newbury-
port, Mass, leads all; and he promises
soon to be ahead on the number. His
se~venty4eighth vessel is now on the
stocks, and most Of those he has
launched have been large ships. He
stands first among the New England
shipbuilders. The Providence Journal,
however, says that the Post need not go
out of Massachusetts, to find q ship
builder who far outnumbers Mr.. Soule
in the result of his lifelong enterprise

Barnsyyille, Swansey, a veteran now

WAbhlatTOaJ MhECu ..
The Republicans of the House had q
caucus last evening at the Capitol.
About one hundred and twenty mem
bers were present. General Banks pre-
sided. Ashly Of Ohio offered q resolu-
ton directing the Judiciary Committee,
when appointed, to continue their in
vestigation into the charges preferred
against the President, and to sit during
the session, of the House or during any
recess.
Covode offered an amendment pro-
viding q special committee.
This was voted down by an over
whelming majority, and the motion to
refer to the Judiciary Committee
adopted without opposition.
Mr.. Stevens moved that when Congress
adjourn It adjourn to the 9th Of May.
Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa, moved to amend
BY inserting the 10th Of October. He
thought the investigation q very grave
one, requiring time, and that it was
especially important that all the States
entitled to representation should be
represented to vote on the articles Of
impeachment. If that question should
be presented, these States would be abb
sent in May.
Mr.. Sheilabargsr thought there was
much gravity in this point, but 1t wa.
not Of pressing Importance in view OF
