MASONIC INTELLIGENCE.
~
From the Natchez Courier
NIcksBURG, January p, 1857.
The city Is filed with members of the
Masonic Brotherhood. Hon. J.. I.
Lamkin, OF Pike county, was to-day
Grand Master for the ensuing
year. About two hundred representa-
tives are present, and great harmony
to prevail. The Grand Chapter
and Grand Council finished their labors
last Saturday at jackson. Everything
betOkens a renewed zeal, and a rekin-
ding of the fires from Goals on the an
Gent altar. II seems to be the almost
unanimous understanding that next
January there is to be a Masonic jubilee
in Natehez. All the Grand bodies will
probably meet there and celebrate the
semi-centennial anniversary Of the form
alton of the Grand Lodge. Where the
cradle of Masonry was rocked, seems TO
be the fitting spot where its manhood
should be illustrated. Ofcourse, Nstchez
will be alive on the gala week. Her cit
liens, whether of the fraternity or out
of it, will greet their guests with a good
will that will warm the heart and glad
den the cOQDteuauce,

thereof.
The rule requiring Chapters to confer
the degrees for not less than fifty dollars,
was modified so as to leave it discretion
airy with the Chapters to confer for not
less than forty.
On complaint of several Chapters in
North Mississippi, that Chapters IN Ten
nessee had been conlerring the degrees
on citizens Of this state, the Grand Secre-
tary was requested to bring the anne to
the notice of the Grand Chapter of Ten
nessee, with a request that the same be
discontinued, being an invasion OF the
Jurisdiction of this Grand Chapter.
The Grand High Priest was directed to
call a meeting of the Grand Lecturers at
such time and place as ne may deem
proper, for the purpose of perfeeting the
work, and notice required TO be given to
the various Chapters who may desire to
be present.
A uniform Code of Bylaws were
adopted for subordinate Chapters, and
will be published with the pamphlet pro-
ceedings.
