In New York, last Tuesday eve
ming. two hundred ladies received
the degree Of adaptive Masonry"
at the hands of the Mystic Tie
Lodge. All of the two hundred
were either wives, widows or daugh-
ters of Masons. After the brief
lnitiatory ceremonies, some re-
marks were made by Robert S.
Holmes, Past Grand Master of
the Masons in the State of New
York. He said that it had long
been a matter of regret that the
Masons' wives, sisters, daughters,
widows and (although it was not
in the Masonic ritual) mothers,
had not been recognized among
Masons. From this time forth,
he would labor in the Grand Lodge
of this State, to have it use its
great influence with the grand
Lodges of the world, for the pur-
pose of having some token brought
into being, and generally recog-
nlzed, by which wives, sisters,
daughters and nothers Of Masons
may make themselves known all
over the world. [Applause.] In
this he intended no infraction Of
Masonic law, but he did mean
that when such relatives of Ma
sons were in distress, they should
be known without carrying their
relatives diplomas in their peck
cts.

SO sad as the destruction which

There were two families; first, that
of Col. j. j. Diamond, and that of
Col. W. W. Diamond, his brother.
In addition, there was a large
family of orphaned children of
deceased brothers in Georgia, who
had come to Colonel Diamond for

Are Negroes Eligible for
CONGRESS.

Under the famous bred Scott
decision the Supreme Court of the
United States decided that negroes
were not citizens within the mean
ing of the Constitution. Whatev-
erthe popular sentiment may be in
regard to that decision, it was
never reversed, and remained the
law of the land, at least until the
proclamation of emancipation is
sued by President Lincoln in Sep
TENDER, 1862. If that proclama-
ton made negroes citizens they
attained their citizenship at that
time. The Constitution of the
United States provides that no
one shall be eligible to the United
States House Of Representatives
until he has been seven years a
citizen, or to the United States
Senate until he shall have been a
citizen nine years. These facts
may dash the hopes of some of
the ambitious Sambosand Quashees
who have anticipated the honor of
representing some Of The Southern
districts III the next Congress.

A duel Of novel and crude
character came off the other day
back of the Metaire Course, New
Orleans. 1t was regular rough
and tumbling affair, and the rules
of the code not being observed,
each was allowed to bite. scratch;
and gouge ad lbitum. The fight
lasted for some time, and both par
ties suffered considerably. One
had his eye gouged out, and when
he left the ground was endeavor-
ing to replace it in the socket, and
the other had one finger bitten off
at the first joint.

Alarmed.

liz Nv hOuio OoHtOCTUt, one OF
the most ultre radical papers of
the West, cautions the Alabama
Convention to go slow. 1t says:
We do not know what advice
they may receive from Washing
ton. But we hope they will
choose policy as liberal as prop
er regard for their own safety and
for the welfare Of the State per-
mits. 1t seems to us that any
prescription of rebels that is not
clearly necessary will tend to in
crease hostile feeling between the
colored people and the whites, to
prepetuate animosities which ev-
cry true friend of the South or of
the country must wish to see
disappear, and to embarrass and
delay that perfect and stable re-
generation for which the conven-
ton should seek. 1t seems to us.
also, that any unnecessary pro-
scription will be unfavorably re-
garded by the people of the North,
] will give additional party capital to
the Copperheads, and will tend to
defeat the Congressional plan of
reconstruction.
1t seems to have needed the
lesson Of the recent elections, and
although very reluctantly, gives up
its own convictians in Difference
to popular opinion, and says:
| Here in Missouri, where we
have had war in all its horrors, we
can realize that the sufferings of
loyal men at the South excuse, if
not justify, retaliatory measures.
But in other States, harsh and
unnecessary measures will preiu-
dice many just and intelligent
men against the plan of recon-
struction, will strengthen the anti
pathy to negro suffrage, and may
turn the scale against the Republi.
can party"
The white Radicals OF the North
are squirning at the prospect of
the effect of the actions of their
Niger conventions in the South.
They will be crazy by the time the
Southern conventions have all met
and incubated constitutions, and
the chances of the Republican
party carrying the Presidential e.
lection are every day being de-
creased by the awful example
which the Alabama Convention
present Of the natural results of
their policy.

. A Startling Event.
Two Hundred armed Ne.
grOeS march into Co
lumbus. Miss.

From the Memphis Avalanche, November "a.
For some time great deal of
dissatisfaction has existed among
the freedmen in the neighborhood
of Columbus, Mississippi. They
had quit work, and left the fields
white with cotton, and would not
pluck a boil, the reason given for
such action being that their share
of the crop would not pay their
expenses for the year, owing to
the tax on the staple, and the low
price to which it had fallen. AS
soon as they refused to work, as
matter of course they had to leave
the plantations, and give up their
houses to those who would work.
They then took to the woods, and
commenced a system of indiscrim-
mate pilfering and stock killing.
About two hundred of them have
been assembled in the neighbour
hood Of Columbus, Mississippi,
since the election, and had be-
come perfect nuisance and terror
to the neighborhood. At the re-
quest of the citizens a company
of United States troops had been
stationed at Columbus, for the pro-
lection Of the lives and property
of the people. When this band
of vagabondized negroes had ex-
hausted the country of everything
which was stealable, they determ-
ined to make AFRAID upon the town
!, of Columbus in full force. They
were all armed, and procuring a,
fife and drum they marched into
the town, demanding bread. Not
one Of them asked for work; they
did not want that. Bread was
all the cry, and they were about
commencing an indiscriminate
robbery, when the United States
troops appeared on the ground
and disarmed them first, and then
dispersed them. The ringleaders
were taken into custody. What
a scene of bloodshed and robbery
we would have had to relate, had
it not been for the fortunate pres
ence of the troops, we shudder to |
think of. This is the first attempt |
at a bread riot, which has ever
occurred in the South, but how
long it will be until they become
common it takes no far-seeing
prophet to tell. The negroes all
through the country. are becoming
most thoroughly demoralized un-
der the teaching of the Radical
hyenas, who counsel and iDcite
them at every fence corner, to
their own destruction. They now
positively, III many localities re-
fuse to work, will make no con-
tracts with the planters, fully ex-
pecting the division Of lands so
long promised them by their Rad
ical leaders. Bands Of from three
to fifty are roaming through Mis-
sissippi in every direction, a ter F;
ror and nuisance, not only to the
planters, but to the industrious of
their own color. How long this
state of affairs can continue with
out scenes Of riot and bloodshed
depends entirely upon the forbear- I
ance of the white man. A spark
may ignite the train which will
redden the horizon with the blaze
Of burning houses, and initiate
conflict between the races, bloody I
md remorseless.

Tennessee in Congress.

tennessee in Congress.
When the Tennessee delegation
were about to be sworn in, a rich
scene ensued.
Mr.. Brooks of New York object
ed to administering the oath to
any of the Tennessee delegation on
the ground, first, that two, if not
moreof them had been guilty of
treason to the government and ia
ken the oath of allegiance to the
Confederate government and Jeff.
Davis, and second, there does not
exist in the State Of Tennessee a
republican form of government.
Loud laughter on the republican
side.
Mr.. Brooks argued that the e.
lectoral law of Tennessee disfran-
chised a majority of the white citi-
zens. The vote of the State is no.
900, and yet 100000 had controll-
ed the election, $4,000 of whom
were negroes, controlling the
$4,000 white voters who were not
DISTINGUISHED. He said an oligar-
chy now existed and reigned in
Tennessee, the franchise law there
was disgrace to any free form of
government, and a dishonor to all
forms Of republican self govern
ment.
Mr.. Brooks then stated his spe-
cial objections to the swearing in
of Butler, because, as a member of
the Tennessee Legislature, before
and during the rebellion, he voted
resolutions and measures proving
his disloyalty to the United States
Government. Among these were
resolutions to reject the confrma-
ton of any man to office who'en-
dorsed the Helper book, condemn
ing the appointment of Seward in
Lincoln's Cabinet as an act hostile
to the South, and for calling a
convention to take Tennessee out
of the Union. Mr.. Brooks quoted
the precedent established by the
Republican side of the House last
July, in regard to Kentucky, and
argued that they were now irrevo-
cably bound by it.
Mr.. Brooks then objected to
swearing iii Mr.. Mullins, on the
grounds that he had given aid and
comfort to the rebellion; had made
speeches in behalf of it; had lent
his aid and support to it; had at
tempted to raise troops for it and
made speeches in Bedford county,
in which he urged young men to
enlist in Rebel companies and de-,
fend their homes and firesides.
Mr.. Brooks also objected to
swearing in Mr.. Arnell, on the
grounds he had established in Law
renee county, Tennessee, a tannery
which was devoted to supplying
leather to Rebel soldiers.
Mr.. Brooks also objected to
swearing in Mr.. Trimble, saying
his information was, if he voted
at all on the question of secession,
be had voted for taking Tennessee
put Of the Union.
Mr.. Trimble, in his seat, as
,ured Mr.. Brooks that he had not
lone so.
Mr.. Brooks accepted the denial,
md withdrew all special objec-
ions to swearing in Trimble,
Mr.. Eldridge objected particu-
Iarly to Stokes on account of the
Duncan letter.
Mr.. Marshall, of Illinois, ex-
pressed his conviction that the {
qualifications prescribed in the
constitution were the only tests
that could rightfully be applied to
members elect, but since the House
has established a different law for
its own action it should be govern
ed by it.
They all were permitted to per-
jure themselves except Mr.. But
Ter.
