SPEECH OF BEAST BUTLER.
Butler was greeted by about 3, 600 of
his fellow-citiZens, in Lowell, Massa-
chusetts, to whom he made q brief
speech on til 5th. He had triumph
ed, he said, under the motto: Equal
ity Of all mems rights under the law
by using freedoms great weapon-the
ballot. He hailed the glorious tri-
umph of Republican principles
throughout the land. He believed it
would bring peace and prosperity.
We shall not long have murder after
murder and riot after riot. Look at
New Orleans, from which we have re-
ported $500 for Seymour and 276
for Grant. There was a time, he
remembered, when the people of that
city behaved better. Applause. |
He felt confident such time would
come once more. Several Southern
States voted for Seymour, or are in
doubt, because mems lives were
threatened if they attempted to vote.
When Congress meets, as it will in a
short time, it will be our purpose to
find a remedy for this kind of thing,
and if Johnson does not second our
efforts, though it may be late in the
day, we will try and provide for him.
Applause.

and blew, without the slightest inter
mission, and then, as q slight varia-
tion, it showed, "blowed," "lighten-
ed, and rained, with occasionally q
growing report from the upper re-
gions. Land slides occurred upon
some Of the railroads.

es in the New York Tribune state that,

ments to the Constitutions of those
States, establishing Impartial suf-
frage," have been adopted in the
late election. In Minnesota, accord
ing to the census of 1860, there were
bnt 259 negroes. which would give
about fifty colored voters. In Iowa,
there we're 1000 negroes, which would
give Old voters.

Frsemasonry in tho East.

Robert Morris, Esq, delivered a
lecture last evening, at the Cooper
Institute, on theisubject of Freema-
sonry In Syria and Palestine. He
said that he bad been sent to the
East; by hs MMss.SS0iis OF this country,
for four objects: LIST. To examine
into the Freemasonry of the Eastern
nations; I'd. To obtain information
of the orders kindred to the Masons,
such as the Knights of St. John; 3D..
To visit the places renowned in the
traditions of Masonry-Tyre, Jeru-
salem and others; 4th. To make col
Lotions of specimens, relics, &c.
His remarks on these topics were
very interesting, not only to Masons,
but to the general public. At Smyrna
he found eight Masonic Lodges,
which included among their mem
bers the foreign consuls of most of
the nations not Roman Catholic and
nearly all the Turkish dignitaries.
AT Ephesus he attended Masonic
picnic. At Beyrout he found the
only lodge in Palestine. Among its
members is the Pasha of all the ter
ritory from Asia Minor to Egypt.
MIR. Morris found the Pasha very
gentlemanly, intelligent and friendly
man, willing to give him the full .st aid
III the prosecution of his enterprise.
AT Damascus he found sixteen Ma
sons, among them the renowned Adel-
el-kadlr, formerly Sultan of the
Arab race Of North Africa, where he
carried on a most destructive war
with the French for three years. Mr..
Morris was most kindly received by
this fiery old warrior, who gave him
the symbolical kisses on the right
and left checks. Throughout Syria
and Palestine there is an intense pre-
Judicc among the lower classes against
Freemasonry, but the high officers of
the Turkish Government, and the
few educated and intelligent men
which are to be found there, are we'll
disposed toward the Order. No
where i'll the world, DIr. Morris says,
is there such attachment to Freema-
sonry as among the Mohammedans.
In the famous city of Tyre. the seat
of King Hiram, he could not find,
after three days search, single Ma
son; In Gebal, the ancient seat of all
learning, not single person who
could read. Ancient traces of the
Order were numerous. On the key
stone of an arch under Solomon's
Temple, the masonic compass is
found deeply cut in stone. Mr.. Nor
ris traced the analogy between the
customs Of the East and those of the
modern Masons. Charity was the
distinguished characteristic of the
Eastern Masons. He had left the
country deeply prejudiced against
the Mohammedans, and had returned
feeling that in many respects they
could teach us Christians something.
He spoke very highly of the Ameri-
can missionaries on the Syrian coast
Nep York Tribune.

BOLD INcENDIARY ATTEMPTING
learn that an effort was made by per-
sons unknown, to hurn the dwelling
of Mr.. John E. Peay, at Longtown,
in Fairfield District. This occurred
on the night of November 4. The
portico of the house was fired md in
part burnt. One Of the freedmen
on the place discovered the fire, and
the progress of the flames was ar
rested. We trust that the efforts to
discover the incendiary will prove
successful.

FIRE. About II o'clock yesterday

filed ut time of the fire with corn and
fodder. The house and its contents
were entirely consumed. The origin
Of the fire was not known.

The rush for Office under the in
coming Administration will be some
thing marvellous. Washington ex-
poets to be over-run by all of the old
armies of the Potomac and the West
AN honorable discharge from either
army is already worth, it IS said,
fabulous amount of money.

CHINA AND JAPAN.-The Herald has
letters from these remote portions of
the globe, dated September 16 and
27. A large fire occurred on the 18th
of August, destroying vast amount
of property and the lives of two wo-
men and seventeen children. The
action of the commander of the Bri-
tish gun-boat Bustard, in lombard
ing the town of Choochi, by which
several person were killed, has caused
much excitement. The italian bark
Providenza had arrived at Hakodadi
with forty-two coolies aboard, no
commander being on her, and evil
dences in abundance were found lead
ing to the belief, asshe had sailed some
time before with cargo of coolies,
that they had mutinied and destroyed
the crew.
The Tycoon's Government had re-
signed all authority to tha mhi;kako
and all the adherents or officers under
the Tycoon had been dispensed with.
The foreign legations are now located
in Yokohama, the British and French
Ministers having armed forces of their
own troops quartered near them,
while the American Minister has
only lame porter, armed with q
bamboo stick. The japanese author
tiles have intimated their desire to
the foreign ministers to have the
treaty of 1866 revised, with q view to
the REIMBURSEMENT of duties on teas
and silks. The steamship Herman,
on entering Castries Bay, in August
last. burst a boiler, killing three
Cinnamon and severely scalding
twelve other persons. OF these, two
were Americans.

MURDER Mosr Foul. damna-
Bile murder was committed in this
District on Monday night last. A
party, consisting of DIR. Clinton
Shell, Robert Hudgens, Williamson
Barksdale and George Barksdale, left
this village, after night, to return to
their homes, about five or six miles
distant About 10 o'clock, some 400
yards beyond the residence of Mr..
Henry Shell, the party was fired upon
by persons in ambush, and DIR. Shell
was instantly killed and fell from his
horse. He was struck in the head,
neck and breast. lfr. Williamson
Barksdale was severely wounded in
the thigh with five or six shot, and
his horse receiving some thirty or
forty shot. The other gentlemen es-
capped. The horses of those surviving
we're frightened and carried the riders
some hundred yards suddenly from
the scene. The assassins fled on foot
at once, and were not recognized.
They had taken the precaution to
form an ambuscadc, by cutting down
bushes, and evidently lay in wait for
the party, knowing of their being in
the village, and their intention to re-
main and participate in rch-light
procession. 1t is thought about ten
distinct reports were made, and rs
the fiends used double barreled guns,
the whole party would have lost their
lives but for the spring of the horses
upon the first discharge. The scene
of the tragedy is about three miles
from this village.
DR.. Shell was about thirty years
old; the others being youths, about
eighteen and twonty. DR.. S. resides
about twelve miles from this village,
and had passed his fathers house
about 400 yards, and proposed tc
spend the night with yonng Hudgens
DR.. S. had never, in his life, partici
pated i'll politics, (probably as little
as any man in the District Of his po
sitiop and attainments, stood high
in his profession, and was universally
esteemed and beloved. He graduated
in 1860, and was Confederate sur
geon. The other young gentlemen,
of course, are too young for active
participation in politics, and are
quiet, peaceable and highly esteemed.
DIR. s. was the son of Henry Shell,
Esq, and the others sons of Col.
John Hudgens and Downs Barksdale,
Esq, prominent citizens of this Dis
tfict.
The wadding of the guns was radi.
cal incendiary documents. There is
no doubt the assassins were negroes.
We see the fruits of the radical hell
hounds who preach to our negroes.
We cannot find terms in which to
damn this villainy, this murderous,
cowardly assassination. Several ne
groes have been arrested as impii.
Gated, and are in Jail.

Horrible Outrage and Swift ISetribu-
ttOn.


We have the particulars of a horri-
BILE outrage committed near Summer
vile, in Emanuel County, on Tues
day last.
A young lady, seventeen OF eight
cen years old, daughter of q respect
able citizen of that County, vino is q
pupil in the Summerville school, was
met in the outskirts of the village
while on her way to school, early
Tuesday morning, by negro man
named Pearce, who attacked her with
a Ightwood knot; striking her on the
back of the head and telling her to
the earth. He then attempted to
commit further outrage upon her
person, which she resisted to the ut
most of her strength and ability. In
the scuffle which ensued, he beat her
severely over the head and face, se-
riously injuring her eyes and filling
her mouth with sand to prevent her
cries from being heard. From the
effect of this terrible treatment she
became insensible, and the fend ac-
complished his hellish purpose and
left her apparently dead in the road.
Sometime after she was discovered in
this pitiable condition and taken to
q house near by, when DR.. Bouchelle
being called to see her, administered
to her relief, and she recovered so far
as to be able to designate the demon
who had committed the outrage.
Pursuit was then made for the
wretch, and, in little while, he was
found concealed upon the premises
of Mrs. Harris, when he was arrested
and taken to Swainsboro and COM
mitted to jail A large crowd was
assembled at the latter place-the
election being held .there-and great
excitement was produced when the
facts became known. There was,
however, no attempt made to inter-
fere with the criminal, who was safely
lodged in Jail. a.sfa
That night, about II or II o'clock,
crowd of persons, numbering some
forty or fifty, went to the house of
Mr.. j. J. Moorsing, the jailor, and
demanded of him the Jail keys. This
demand he refused to comply with,
when they threatened his life if the
keys were not produced. Under this
alternative, the keys were presented
to the party, who Immediately pro-
ceeded to the Jail, took the negro out
and, carrying him to tree just out
side the town, swung him up to a
limb, in which position he was found
next morning.
We learn that the young lady is
still in critical condition, but her
physician thinks she will recover.
There was great excitement in the
County for a day or two, but it has
passed off and all is quiet there now.
The negroes in the vicinity all ex-
press their appreciation of the sudden
and awful punishment inflicted upon
Pearce, and good feeling prevails be-
tween the races.-Augusta Chronicle.
