THE LEGEND OF THE rHrRp DeaREE.
The legend, rs i, is called. Of The Mas
ter Mason, is ora OF the most touching
and beautiful in the great drama of life.
Founded, as it ia, upon the mysteries and
ceremonies of the ancient Egvpiians, It
has come down To us as the very en-
hod'ment and substance OF Masonry. 7,
is the impressive eEempIifcation Of the
birth. the life the duties, the death and
the resurrection OF man. 1t stamps upon
the intelligent Mason the sublime doc
trine OF the immortality Of the soul and
1t was wise provision Of all Grand
odgss that that degree should never be
given in part only. but should be conn
pieted at every undertaking.
To omit this legend is to omit the de-
gree Iisef, and for its omission the or.
binary excuse. not even the ignorance OF
The master, who may not have the talent
or industry to learn it. is not sufficient -
This legend is the grand land mark, the
unfaiIiog beacon Of Masonic centuries. I,
is never changed II will admi. Of no re
moval, for it is the trne point OF the uni.
Ver'aI Brotherhood. It convevs lhough,
and furnishes food for the reflective mind
down TO o.,he grave, and a. simple
drama, stands uneQusled beside any oi
the productions of genius. No Master
ever participated in and forgot it; he fel,

were touch OF Divinity, and when
properly understood it inspire. so'ernni,y

Gessler's Cap.

One Of those painful incidents which
30 often occur in these days Of our hu
initiation, teaching US that we live under
all tho hsrdships of military rule and
that the foot of the conqueror /, upon
our neck, took place at the annual parade
OF the Charleston Fire Department on
the 9th uIt.
When the procession was about to
move from the Citadel Green, orders
were issued by General Sickles that the
National Flag with an escort Of honor
composed OF two persons from each
Company, should be borne in ftont Of the
column, AMI that every person in the
column should salute thecolors, bv lifting
his hat or cap on arriving at a point
three PAGES distant from the colors and
carrying the cap uplifted, three PAGES dis
tant from the same.
Orders were given to arrest anv person
who refused to obey these instruction,
No Na,iousl Flag, even before the
war, had ever been carried by the fire
companies on parade, and none being
prepared, some two hours passed before
one could be procured. The procession
was delayed and the pleasure Of the oc
caeion marred by these arbitrary pro-
cseditgs.
There was time when the flag Of the
Union symbolzsd civil freedom and con
s'itutional government, and then the
people Of the South yielded to none in
tAeir love and devotion for it. Under a
jnst and proper administration Of the
! Government they would rally around it
again with the zeA and enthusiasm Of
former times. But the affections OF q
pe"ple cannot he forced, and the only
effect OF compelling them, under pains
and penalties, TO pull off their hats and
show every outward mark OF respect to
s,mhol that no !orger represents and
| typihes all that they hold dear and
sacred. but which, on the contrary,
svmholizes the despo,,sm ,ha, i. crushing
them beneath It's iron hand, will be to
irrits,e, to. wound and 20 annoy to KEEP
alive the hatred and resentment which a
wise government would wish 20 see
buried and forgotten.- Clarendon Press

that majority of the radical members
of the Legislature are as willing to be
purchased as he is to buy. CAMERON
has bought seat in the Senate of the
United States. just as he would bny an
article of merchandise; he wanted so
many votes; paid the money that was
demanded as their price, and is elected.
To this condition of disgrace has the

Of course, SIMON CAMERON expects to
get his money back. He is not the man
to spend one hundred thousand dollars
without the expectation of its return
to his pocket with interest. He looks
upon the money spent in purchasing his
election, as an investment in business,
and he expects to make it profitable.
Heretofore he has been q purchaser;
now he is ready to sell. During six
years from the 4th of next March (if his
life continue that long) he will

guided by right principles can
adhere to party whose repre-
sentative men are as infamous as SIMON
CAMERON is, we will not attempt
to explain. 1t is no wonder that inf

Fair Play.

The Intelligencer of yesterday morning
is disposed to unjustly censure this
journal for les report of the mail rob-
berry case, which has attracted a large
share of public attention in this COM
munity during the present week. We
have not attempted to "manufacture
public opinion in advance of the trial.
of WILLIAM A. JAMES, neither has this
journal nor any person connected with
it any "direct interest i'll the ISSUE"
We have given merely fair and cor
rect report of the facts deposed to by
the witnesses at the examination held
last Tuesday, and we emphatically deny
that we have any desire to prejudse the
case.
We are we'll aware that persistent
effort is being made by certain urscru-
pulous partisans in this city to give to
JAMES case political coloring and to
attribute his arrest and prosecution to
political animosity. 1t is a fact, how
ever, which is susceptible of proof, that
JAMES has for some months professed to
be a supporter of the policy of the Fed
eral administration and has denounced
in the bitterest terms the political opin-
ions of the men who now champion his
cause for no other reason than that they
believe him to be as radical rs them
selves.
If JAMES is innocent, no one will re-
ioice at his acquittal more than we; If
he is guilty, We, in common with every
other law-abiding citizen, desire his
conviction and punishment. We have
this "direct interest in the issue" and
no more.
The Intelligencer is itself liable to the
charge of cndeavoring to "manufacture
public sentiment in advance of the
trial" Its report of the evidence ad-
duced in behalf of the government was
so one-sided as to appear to be the work
of special pleading pettifogger and ma
terial portions of the testimony We're
purposely suppressed. We have no de-
sire to make this case the subject of n
controversy with the editor of the ne

ONE YEAR AGO.

What stars havo faded from the sky!
What hopes unfolded but to die!
What dreams so fondly pOndered DER,
Forever lost the hues they wore!
How like death.knell sad and slow,
Tolls through the soul ''one year ago"
Where is the face we loved to greet,
The form that graced the fireside seat,
The gentle smile, the winning way,
That blessed our life-path day by dayi
Where fled those accents soft and low
That thrilled our hearts ''one year ago'
All! vacant is the iireside chair,
The smile that won no longer there:
From door and hall, from porch and lawn.
The echo ef the voice is gone,
And we who linger only know
How much we lost "one year ago.!
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent watch by day and night
Serene she sleeps. nor needs the tread
OF footsteps DER her lowly bed.
Her pulseless breast no more may know
The pangs Of life zone year ago"
But why repinel \ few more years,
A few more broken sighs and tens,
And we. enlisted with the dead;
Still follow where her steps have fed
To that far world rejoicing go
10 where she passed zone year ago.!
