NOTE Ill.

From the premises laid down under
the preceding note, does it follow that
We must dismiss all books, essays, lee
lures and traditions, both oral and
written ? BY no means But | do most
earnestly urge that all such books, es-
says, lectures and traditions must con-
form to the landmarks, and not the latter
to the former Therefore, [ do most
solemnly urge and contend for a clearly
drawn line Of distinction between land
marks and lectures. As already stated
the first constitute the very body, soul
and essence of our ancient Order, while
the peculiar and only legitimate func-
ton Of the latter is TO analyze, illustrate
and enforce the solemn truths. precepts
and obligations Swallowed forth by the
former; but never never to be incor-

An Extinct Race.

One OF the most remarkable races that
ever inhabited the earth is now extinct.
They were known as the Gauuches, and
we're the abOrjgiDes of the Canary Is
lands. 10 the sixteenth century, pesti-
leRce, slavery and the cruelty OF the
Spaniards succeeded in totally eXtermin-
ating them. They are described as bav-
ing been gigantic ia stature, b1t of sin
gulsrly mild and gentle nature. Their
food consisted Of barley, wheat and goats
milk, and their agriculture was Of the
rudest Kind. They had q religion which
taught them of a future state of rewards
and punishment after death, and OF good
and evil. spirits. They regarded
the volcano of Teueriffs as punishment
for the bad. The bodies of their dead
were carefully embalmed and deposited
in catscombs which still continue to be
an object Of curiosity to those who visit
the islands. Their marriages were very
solemn, and before engaging in them,
the brides were fattened on milk.-Er.

NOTE II.

How far are human language and hu-
man records reliable agents for the trans
mission of the pure landmarks, mysteries
and grand teachings of the ancient Or
der? | answer, not far.
Every man who has paid even a slight
attention to the history of living Ian
guage must be aware of the fact that it
ever has been, is now, and, doubtless, ever
will be, changed ana changing-not
merely in photographed structure, but
in the meaning of words, often obsolete
in other words expunged. Even in
the so-called dead languages, when we
examine the numerous learned disputes
as TO the origin and true construction of
many words, are we to be blamed,
even there. for a considerable amount of
scepticism? Hence, the venerated IA
theirs and founders of the institution,
whether inspired or not Il do not stop
to inquired, saw the necessity of select
ing such landmarks as from their very
nature, were alike secure against the
contingencies incident to all living Ian
guages, human records, and the muta-
lions of time itself
While it is alike incompatible with
my feelings as a man and duty as a Ma
son to discuss here the Christian or any
other theological system, nevertheless,
history is the common property of the
world we inhabit. And, in this connec-
ton, feel it to be a solemn duty to
call up its warning voice To it we have
a right to appeal. Shall we appeal in
vain?
The fifteenth century ushered upon
the world the much Landed Reformation
What has been the result? History
gives the solemn answer. First, the
name of Martin Luther supplants Il
mean in the visible church militant) the
name of Him by whose blood the Church
was purchased. In this manner, the Lu-
theran church; in like manner, John
Calvin, the Calvinistic church; in like
manner, Arminius, the Armiuian
church. But l must be brief, and
come down to a more modern date: In
like manner, the name of John Wesley,
the Wesley Methodist Episcopal church
and last, not least, perhaps, Alexander
Campbell, the Campbelite church.
Now those were all brilliant lights in /
their day and generation. l have not a
word to utter, for or against any one of
them. But is not the thoughtful Chris
tian mind constrained 70 ask. Where, o. /

Hyde Clarke thus furnishes a reply
OF the two French Masonic bodies

is a Supreme Council Each has recog-
nized the other as a Craft Grand Lodge
but the Supreme Council does not re-
cognize the recent assumption Of the
Grand Orient to constitute a Supreme
Council The basis of the Grand Orient
system in the high degrees is, that it
does not recognize thirty three degrees.

both have sometimes had jurisdiction
over the same lodges, lodge working
according to a single rite or according
to both. No one acquainted with Ma
sonic Jurisprudence can doubt that a
Craft Lodge working according to the
Scotch rite, and giving its certificate
under the Symbolic Grand Lodge of the
Supreme Council is as legitimate as any
French Craft proceeding of the Grand
Orient.
" With regard to the greater proper
ton Of lodges belonging to the Supreme
Council, the greater proportion OF the
Grand Orient arises from its having the
police protection, or tolerance of the
Government, the Supreme Council be-
ing under the ban Of the Government,
and its lodges being threatened with
suppression. Its lodges are, however,
Of good character, It's governors are men

bers include those who protest most fer
yently against the interference of the |
Government with the independence of |

MASONIC INTELLIGENCE.
Editor Nfemnhis AnreaI.

EDITOR Memphis Appeal:
Dear Brother: | write to YOU for
some Masonic information. There is a
rule Of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky
that says if a brother is " black balled'
upon a ballot for initiation or advance
ment. a vote cannot be taken within a
certain period, unless the brother so
casting the black ball shall recall his
objections in open lodge at the second
regular stated meeting. Now, is this
law Masonic? Does not this do away
with the secrecy Of the ballot box +?
Again has a member a right to cast a
black ball for an offense lunmasonic) on
the ballot for raising? Is it not his
duty to prefer charges? And lastly :
if We find our action erroneous. can we
begin de novo ?"
We do not think that a brother who
has cast a black ballot can recall it. IN
less he does so at the same meeting, and
before any other brother who voted has
Withdrawn.
Fer, if this could be done. and still
more so, if it could be done at another
meeting, a brother might claim to have
voted in the negative who did not so
vote, and thus a candidate be fraudulent
ly imposed on the lodge. The rule of
the Grand Lodge Of Kentucky is con
trary to principle, and dangerous.
There is no doubt that a brother may
vote in the negative, on ballot, for aay
reason or without any reason. If he
does 50 because he deems the party
guilty of an offence, it is his right. and
he is under no obligation to prefer
charges. If there were such an obliga-
ton, it could not be enforced, because
1t cannot be known who votes in the
negative.
Unless We knew precisely what the
lodge had done enormously, we can not
possibly say whether it can begin de
moro. If it has raised person, it can
not recall that; but what is not thus
beyond reach, it can undo. If a candi- |
date has been rejected, the matter passes
beyond the control of the lodge as soon
as il closes.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY APPEAL.l

To-day like yesterday was very hot
so much so as to interfere with business
very materially, as it was deemed dan
gerous to life to expose oneself to the
fierce rays which are pouring down
upon Us, and which are dealing death to
man and beast in all the cities north Of
US, equal to an epidemic. Very few pee
pie are seen upon our streets during this
heated term, and no improvement can
possibly take place for the better until
the heat becomes less troublesome.
A letter appeared in our issue of yester-
day, from our regular New York CORES
pendent, in which some comments were
made relative to one of our National
Banks. All the letters coming from this
source heretofore have related almost ex-
eIusively to politics, and this one which
was supposed to be of the same nature,
was put into the hands OF the printer
without being seen by any Of the editors
We wish it understood that we do not
indorse the opinion Of our correspondent
In reference 20 either one of our Eurviv-
ing National Banks, and feel that iDjus-
tice was done by the writer of the article,
though it was unintentionsl, we are sat

In stocks and bonds there is very little
doing. Memphis and Charleston stock
shows very evident signs of weakness, AN
evidence that the late advance was not e
healthy one, but just little flyer gotten
up by the friends Of the new Directory,
as was supposed at the time. We learn
that sac could not be realized for stock
to-day, and that several lots were offered
at that figure. City bonds are scarce
and firm at 55@57c, as to amount.
