FREfGMasoNRY fNTHE EAsT--Rob't Nor
ris delivered very instructive lecture at the
Cooper Institute Friday night, on the subject
of Frccn,asonry in the Holy Land. He said
that at Smyrna he found eight Masonic lodges,
Which included among their members the for.
eign consuls Of most Of the nations not Ro-.
enan Catholic, and nearly all the Turkish dig.
nitaries. At Ephesus he attended q Masonic
picnic, at Beyrout he found the only lodge
in Palestine. Among its membersis the Pa
sha of all the territory from Asia Minor to
hgypt AT Damascus he found sixteen Ma
sons amongthem the renowned Abdel, Kadir,
formerly Sultan ofthe Arab race of North
Africa. Throughout Syria and Palestine there
is an intense prejudice among thelower clas-
SIS against Freemasonry, but the high officers
c'f the Turkish Government, and the few edu-
Gated and intelligent men who are to be found
there, are well disposed toward the order. 40

The following letter has been 10,
ceivel hy mail by Col, John $, Mos
by, Il Is evidently from un0 NJ the
minions of that prime minister of
Hadival misrlllc, that official mas or
of trained human ferrels and i6iled
suhorners, who sought TO prove the
President an accessory to the mur,
der of Lincoln; that conscience,

tectod lyrant, Edwin NJ. Stanton,
who stands before the country
self convicted trcspasser ia the War
Office, aud the debtor for place to
that duplioity in exalted station
which stiiled tho prayer far right
before il could DO heard in the sacred
temple OF justice. The letter shows
Ia what ignohlo shifls the grim -pi'
der in his cell can resort to cntrap
objects Of his malice, and keep alive
the idea of n threatened rebellion,
II may, indeed, have n greater sig
hiiicance than this, more neiarious
design. A response to IL might
have been expected to furnish that
" cumulative evidence" which i'm
parchment managers have promised
and are most eager To obtain. Had
the self.stylcd OK Colonel in the
Federal army any real grievance TO
suggest this mode of revenge. (un.

some other channel. of communica.

him with somewhat more of that
caution which usually provides
against tho contingency Of II halter

poses TO endorse the document and
refer it to Il. NJ. Stanton through
Grant. If detective Forester ought
not to he bow. strung for his shal.
