ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10, 1865.
The Grand Encsmpment yesterday was en-.
its various committees, and other business of a
routine character. None of the various vexed
questions which It was supposed would be brought
up, were acted upon, and they were all left by
mutual consent to settle themselves; all is har-
mony and good feeling, and every feels that the
position OF the order is better founded and irmer
than ever. Among the matters settled was the
place Of the next triennial conclave, which re-
suited in the choice Of Baltimore, with quite a
general understanding that New Orleans shall
next be honored, and after her, San Francisco.
At one O'Clock P. NJ, Grand Master Gardner
who with his officers had been regularly installed
declared the present Grand Conclave adjourned
till ISL, and the delegations said the reluctant
words Of farewell, and most OF them are now on
their way back to their homes.
In the General Grand Chapter, matters obtained
more serious aspect long and spirited, thou Sh-
courteous and fraternal, debates were the order
held, which was interrupted by recess for din.
ner, and resumed to be finished only at late
hour ID the evening. The result of all this was
the decision of two very important questions,
which have been exercising the craft throughout
all the subordinate jurisdic ions. First-All the
proposed amendments to the Constitution were
defeated, and that instrument remains as il is
and secondly, upon a minority report, the Grand
chapter OF the District of Columbia was recog-
nized and her delegates admitted; Potomac Chap
ter in the district Is to report directly to the Gem
eral Grand Chapter tcl,ota territorial Jurisdiction
and all suspensions and expulsons which have
taken place during and on account of the recent
troubles, are cancelled and annulled.
This is all that has been done Of importance,
and the general feeling Is that the principal good
which has been accomplished by these triennial
communications, is the fraternal intercourse be-
tween tne brethren of far distant jurisdictions,
who would never otherwise meet.
In concluding, your correspondent, on behalf Of
the louisiana delegation, must tender their thanks
70 the brethren Of Missouri 70 the City Council of
81. Louis for its kind welcome and generous tender

JACKSON, May 2S, 1868.
At meeting of the Democratic Executive
Committee of the state of Mississippi, this day
held at the Capitol, it was made known that
several Democratic nominations had been
made for the Legislature, of persons who were
not privates in the Confederate army, and who
could not take the iron-clad oath, th4t they
had never given voluntary aid to the rebellion; !;
a. such candidates cannot quality, if elected
under the new constitution, they should at
once make known their 1ncanaclty TO their
constituents, and allow qualified men to be
nominated in their stead.
