Glorious Record.

In the Detroit (dich.) Post, of January 18th +,
is an interesting communication over the sigma
ture of W." giving some statistics of the un-
paralleled benevolence of the Order of Odd Eel
low. We extract the following
We shall astonsh many of our readers by CIV
ing the figures connected with the operations of
the Order in the promotion OF its object. The
report of the doings OF the Fraternity for the
wear ending June 30th, 1867, in connection with
ito former history, places the Order in the front
rank of all benevolent institutions or organiza-
tions for the relief of suffering and distress in
cident to human life and cannot fail to attract
public attention.
Omittiug, saw twenty years of the early his
tory of the Order, for which we can get no re-
ports of accounts paid for benevolent objects,
indicated above, we condense the sums for vari-
GUS purposes up to the year 1867, and every one
must confess that the Order of Odd Fellows is
an institution of active benevolence, surpassed
bv few other associations, if equaled, by any in
this country
Amount paid the relief Of brothers...S 2s59o6o so
For relief Of widowed families 494,30S 80
From 1861 to 1865 .s 3,s5a36s 50
Same previous 7,2o2374 81
slO,555743 70
Education of orphans... PA 4o5 80
Total payments .sl 2 55o,97o IL
The total revenue of the Order during the same
time has been the large sum of SIS, 1885, 5s7 96,
showing revenue now on hand Of nearly $l6,-
600, 900 which is devoted to kindred purposes.
Surely, while some cavil at the seemingly friv-
olous name of the Order, it must be properly
named after all, for they certainly are Odd Eel
lows from the great bulk of selfish mankind, to
zealously keep up an organization so extended,
and unostentatiously dispense benevolence
and charity for the relief of distress. Truly if
'The drying up of a single tear has
OF honest fame than shedding Of gore"
and if IA tree is known by Its fruit" the frater-
nifty of Odd Fellows may claim an important
auxiliary place among the good of all creeds for
the amelioration of human suffering and the ele-
walton of man.
To "visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury
the dead, and educate the orphan" are among
the commands of the Order, whose beautiful
moral lessons of duty, of Friendship, Love
and Truth, are all drawn from the Bible, which
must be fixture in every lodge-room. It is not
political or sectarian, which is secret of its
success, but the good of all sects. creeds and
parties, tremendously worship at its altar to-
gether. The gentle deeds of mercy thou hast
done shall not die forgotten" for the poor, the
fatherless, the frendless and the widow, who
daily own the bounty of thy hand,
shall cry to heaven and call a blessing thos,
Who mix the ptying with those that WEEP"

Organize for the Campaign.

a communication over the signatures of chair
man and secretary of the Union State Central
Committee informs us that preparations are be-
ing rapidly matured for vigorous prosecution
OF the Presidential campaign Never since the
war ended was determined and hearty co-opera-
uon on the part of loyal citizens more urgently
calied for than now. Organization, thorough
and complete, is demanded Full and correct
political information must be scattered among
those who would be influenced by truth and
reason, if presented to them in a practicable
and tangible form. The frauds and falsehoods
hesitating, honest voter must be protected
against the wles and deceits of the enemy. If
we expect victory must be prepared by a
thorough organization and a correct registra-
ton, and be ready when the time arrives to rally
our united forces for the conflict.
The issues at stake are of the greatest mo-
ment and we may expect struggle in proper
ton to the importance of the questions involved.
We lost the State last year by folly, and I'M
less we now stand firm, act wisely, and get all
true voters to the polls on election day, the
State may be again lost to us in the Presidential
contest. The party in power always has ele-
ments to aid it which its opponents do not.
In the coming election there will be, more
than ordinarily, things which, among the unin-
structed and ill-informed, will work against us.
These our opponents will not fail to use with all
the skill and cunning they are possessed of. Be
ours the duty to scatter the light send out the
truth, and organize promptly and effectualy.
We want peace with order, justice with liberty;
freedom with unity, the country over. The men
who carried the nation through the rebellion
must rebuild and reconstruct it, if the Union is
to be preserved and perpetuated.
The State Central Committee are of opinion
that much more good be accomplished by
sending documents directly to individuals than
in large packages to counties for distribution,
and that body has already been furnished with
the names of prominent and Jealous Union men
in each precinct. The State Committee have
now in press Ex-Governor Morton's able speech
on reconstruction. 1t will be ready for distribu-
ton in a week or two.

AxrELL ESDoRsED.-The Democratic primaries
held in San Francisco last week, resulted in a
victory by the Axtell wing of the party, and the
discontinue of the Weller chivalry. Seventy
out OF the one hundred and eight delegates
elected to the county convention were friendly
to the present Congressman. In this result the
Sacramento Record sees Democratic spec of
war, and utters its forebodings in the following
terms =" The trouble in the Democratic camp
bids fair to be serious, and reminds us of the
times of Gwn and Broderick, and the fight of
the Long and Short Hairs in the Union party.
The rout OF the rosewater-chivalry element by
the conservatives, or Axtell element, at the late
Ban francisco primaries, is but the signal which
sends the alarm to the clans in other sections ;
and we may rest assured that both sides are de-
termlned on strong fight for the mastery. Of
course we make no objection to all this indeed
we rather like the fun, and propose to lend
hand to either side occasionally, to make it as
even as possible. Just now the PROSTATE chiv-
airy OF San Francisco have our most hearty con-
dolence."
AN ELOQUENT FIGURE.-The Mecklenburg JEFF
tersonian says that g like one of those wondrous
rocking stones reared by the Druids, which the
finger of child might vibrate to the center, yet
the might of an army could not move from its
place, our Constitution is nicely balanced,
that it seems to sway with every breath of opin-
ion, yet so firmly rooted in the hearts and affec-
tions of the people, that the widest storms of
treason and fanaticism break over it in vain"
THE New CAPITOL BUILDING-The Sacrament
to Bee says that one hundred and fifty men are
