The speech of Hon. Reverdy John
son, of Maryland, in the Senate on the
3d. inst, on the bill to take away the
pardoning power of the President, it
is said to be one of the most
complete indications constitutional
law ever uttered. A Washington tele-
gram says:
Two or three vindictive radicals
made the attempt to reply to one part
of Mr.. Johnson's argument, but their
ability and reasoning, in comparison
to the utterances which had been given
by the Maryland Senator, fell com
pletely without the pale of ability.
Mr.. Johnson's illusions to the silent
prisoner still lingering in those dreary
classmates by the sea, sent thrill to
the bosom of every generous auditor,
and enlisted still further sympathies
in behalf of the fallen chief, whose
long incarceration without the shadow
of a trial, has done much towards
bringing the nation into disgrace and
with foreign powers. A
Wisconsin Senator, among the most
radical of all the radicals, indicated
his party in the Senate from the impu-
tation of having disposition to sym
pathize with the subject Of Mr.. John
sons appeal, as would be evidenced
by them remaining silent, and sprang
10 his feet at the earliest opportunity
70 'protest," as he said, against the
being assailed, nobody
was assailing the Government; but
.hese radicals always have an idea that
he nation is being outraged, the flag
lisgraced, and that something else of
hat nature is going on, as inhuman
md ungenerous, and repeated for the
housandth time that old cry for blood,
which is characteristic of radicals who
lonT fight There are many such Of
hat ilk who make very brave speeches.

A NIingling of Odor and Sem

Dickinson and Lady Stanton,s ad
dressed motley and variegated as
sembly at Mozart Hall, in Cincinnati,
a few nights since. From the Inqui.
rer's report we learn that every shade
and color humanity could display,
from the fair-haired and blue eyed
Caucasian to the swarthy descendant
of Ham, was to be found in the hall,
awaiting the speech of the "man and
brother" Fred took for his theme,

mont for hardness where uprisings of
millions of outraged people occur.
He deplores the fact that there is no
hatred of treason in the country and
no disposition to punish the Southern
people for rebelling when fanatics
trampled upon the Constitution. Our
body polite was full of eryors, and
they should be removed in order to
avoid another war. The mode of dis
posing of slavery did not please the
negro orator--tho chains were stricken
from the slave as military necessity,
and not as an act of justice; and he
that history would so record |
It. He said the negro was indebted to
.he South for freedom, and to the
action Of the Southern people, the me-
gro must look for additional reforms.
He devoted considerable breath to the
'one-man power" and proclaimed for
Republic of harmony, consistent
With the idea that all governments
lerive their powers from the consent
If the governed. The speaker ar
,ued that all men are created free and
quail, and that no man because of
olor, nor woman because of sex,
hould be deprived of participation in
he Republics Legislation. He wanted
he pardoning power abolished; the
wo-term arrangement done away
nth; secret diplomacy, appointing ,
over, veto authority and office Of
ice President dispensed with. The
peaker said a great many other things
, the "black spirits and white"
hose SAVIOR eclipsed the Night
looming Cereus, but the above will
robably satisfy the reader. We re-
lew the speech because Douglass is !
n extreme exponent OF the radical
Iction Of New England, and through :

W thoiT good conduct and skill they
had attained to the various degrees
of the craft, they were invested with the
signs of the same, They thus needed no
written testimonials, such as would be under
like circumstances required by modern me-
chanics, but these certificates of proficiency
which they could present anywhere, and OBJ
tain employment upon any public work in
Europe These signs were not only univer-
sal passports for the craftsmen, for securing
a livelihood, but for kind treatment in sick
ness and trouble, wherever they might be ;
| every Mason was the friend and brother of
| his fellow-mechanic, who would assist him
in any emergency that could occur in those
| barbarous ages.
The fraternity was for many centuries
made up altogether of workmen, the only
men not mechanics who were admitted to
their guilds being very few honorary mem
bers. Among these were the reigning mon
archs of the time, who were proud to enroll
themselves amvng the craft, rs also some of
the higher nobility. Each lodge admitted
moreover, generally, priest, who acted as
secretary and chaplain. Monarchs, mobiles
and priests, upon taking the necessary de-
grees, met all the humblest mechanics on
the level, submitted to all the obligations,
and were thus accepted into the fraternity of
free masons. The old style of the brother
hood was now altered TO the modern title of
Gree and Accepted Marsons."
When the world became more civilized,
the necessity ceased for keeping up the
guilds, and Sir Christopher Wren was the
last Grand Master of operative Masons in |
England. Up to this time the term free |
masons, as we have seen, had a real and APP
propriate meaning Since his death howev-
er. there have been no free masOns in the
proper sense of the term for all are now
accepted masons, whether mechanics or not
The ancient form, nevertheless, is still re-
tanned in the designation of Free and Ac-
cepted Masons."
The terms used by the brotherhood at
work, are still those formerly used by the
free, or working masons but the various
operations of the craft are now carried on
Dnly in a symbelical manner. The square
and compasses are now no longer employed
10 fashion stone, but to square and measure
more actions by the precepts of morality,
and the white apron is a badge Of that in
losense of life which is Characteristic Of him I
who works up closely to the obligations Of
FREE AND ACCEPTED MASON. ,

An editorial in the Holly Springs
Reporter suggests several changes to
be made in the laws of the State by
the Legislature which will be in ses-
sion tomorrow. 1t insists on a
change in regard to the infection of
punishment for crime. Persons con-
victed Of petty larceny should be fined
and imprisoned, and if they fail to
pay the fines, they should be formed
into chain gangs to work the roads
and streets. 1t also desires to see the
Legislature take steps to secure the
employers the labor of employees ac-
cording to contract There should
also be some change made in regard
to the law of apprenticeship. Many
defects are to be found in The law as it
stands. And as for the Constitutional
Amendment, which win come before
the present session, he believes every
member viii promptly record his vote
against it
"The Legislature should do some
thing TO encourage emigration. En-
courage the formation Of emigration

MASONRY.

The origin of Masonry is lost in antiquity.
There is no doubt, however, as to the FrateE
nifty of Freemasons having existed in Eng
land, under the Saxons; for King Alfred
and King Athelstane were both Grand Mas
tiers of England Far beyond their day it
can be traced, even to the breaking up of
the Roman Empire. Even then its day
spring was wrapped in the mists of ages,
through the traditions of the craft all point
to Solomon's Temple as the origin of the in
stitution. Many believe that It was an an
tique brotherhood at the time when King
Solomon, assisted by two wonderful mechan-
les mentioned in the Bible, merely took in
hand an organization that they found al
ready existing, and methodiZed it under Ger
tain regulation which exist to the present
day.
The brotherhood, up to comparatively
modern Times, was strictly an association of
FREE Masons; that is, composed of Masons
who were free to work anywhere in Europe,
in the construction of the vast architectural
piles, which astonish us moderns by their
vastness, and make us despair of ever imita-
ting their beauty. From the baronial
castles of Scotland to the marvellous cathe-
drals of Italy, all is the work of the Masons
of the middle ages, who assembled from all
Europe at the call of Grand Master, to aid
him in constructing these monuments of
labor and genius
Unjust have been wondrous spectacle to
behold the thousands of architects collected
from the whole civilized world, engaged in
building great christian temple In those
days it was necessary that all the mechanics
Of every nation should help in the erection
Of these vast edifices for the number of
workers IN stone was few compared with
what they are at present, and a large build
ing required more masOns than any one
kingdom could then furnish. Hence in
building Cathedral there were to be found
masons from Scandinavia to Scicily, from
France to Greece, all busily engaged in
raising its walls and towers
Where such multitude was collected, of
all nations and tongues, it was absolutely
necessary that there should be some laws and
regulation to bind them together, to pre-
vent disputes, to settle wages, and to pre-
vent inferior workmen from foisting them
selves upon the others. In those days of
ignorance among the assembled thorsands

In order that our readers may have
some idea of the political status of
one Simon Cameron, who was recently
elected by large majority over Thad
Stevens to the United States Senate
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
we make some few extracts from
speech he delivered at Harrisburg, Pa,
on the 18th January: ht hl
"Six years ago I thought slavery was
strength and rebellion, and ought to be des-
troyed withour delay. wished also to arm
all blacks who would volunteer. of course,

uniform, clothed him with the rights of
American citizens, and am always sorry to
see black soldier, and reflect that even
Pennsylvania denies him the ballot, the
only weapon whereby he can protect him
self hope to live to see the word white
stricken from our Constitution, and the
spirit of caste upon color utterly destroyed
The South, however, is more controlled by
social influence than by political principles.
If you are wise and firm you may possibly
educate the rising generation inloyalty, but
there is no method of craftsmanship which
will make this generation of the South 10y
al to the Union and the flag the poison of
thirty years cannot be eradicated by the
subserviency of the President or by
statutes of Congress. Let us look
the South in the face; the Southern
territory is disloyal; the loyal men. Of
to-day must guard the children against
another reasonable rebellion. The Consti-
tutional amendment and impartial suffrage
will help to do this, but universal amnesty
will help to undo it, OF Andrew Johnson,

and an enemy of his country, and a bad man.

worse than offering the offices of the conn

no right to dispose of them at auction to
