blings of a silly drunken man. had IL
come from the lips of any other than
John Allen. He was in the worst OF
humor, and was far from being that
specimen of humility which the sensa-
tional reports would lead one TO expect
TO find him. If he were talking to them
'prayin' fellers." his tenants, he would
no doubt have used different language,
and we should have had full accounts of
the remarkable interview in the Tn
buHe We must, taking recent devel-
opments into consideration, conclude
that John Allen is even now more
wicked than when first advertised as
'the wickedest man in New York
Then he taught his little sOE TO swear
and pray by turns now he has himself
donned the livery of Heaven TO serve
the Devil in. adding to his other sins
that most contemplate of all-hypoc-
risy. If his whole course does not prove
TO be an advertising dodge and money
making speculation, we are no prophets.

While some claim tha: John Allen,

and by such characterized as the wick
eldest man In New York has really re-
formed, and is " running light On rum" ;"
there are others of skeptical charac-
ter who affect TO believe that John Al
lens desires ito be an angel" are inf
nitely subordinate to his wish To adver-
tise himself through the missionary
medium, and 10 thus secure service for
the devil through the influence of the
servants Of the Lord. A writer in the
New York Times holds to this latter
idea. He states that neither Allen.
Thomas Hadden. Slocum or Kit %
Burns are converted or reformed, but
that they are all making money by the
absurd excitement which has been crea-
ted concerning them by parties whose
desires 10 bring themselves into noto>

manner Il is said that Allen is allow

correspondent from whom We gain this

GRAND LODGE.

This body assembled in annual COM
munication at the Masonic Temple at
Virginia City. on Monday, last. We
learn it was attended by a respectable
repre- sentation from AL the Lodges in
the Territory, including Missoula, Which
is working under dispensation and was
represented by Judge Pomeroy. The
Grand officers for the ensuing year, were
elected on Tuesday afternoon. They
are NJ. w. Wilbur f. Sanders, Grand
Master; II. w. John Potter, Deputy
Grand Master; w. N p. Langford, Grand
Senior Warden; w. f. Stackpole, Grand
Junior Warden; w. ]. NJ knight,
Treasurer. and w. Sol Starr, Secretary.

manship, was presented by the Grand
Lodge and the Masonic Fraternity OF
the Territory, to the retiring Grand
Master, NJ. w. L. w. Frary, who &C
knowledged the compliment in a neat
ly expressed address. We learn that
the occasion of the Grand Lodge was
improved by the bretheren at Virginia
at several social parties, one of which
was given by G.. r. Frary, and was pecu
liarly interesting. The adjournment
took place Wednesday. and Free Ball
in the large hall under the Temple,
brought things to happy close OF
course it was well attended. The Ma
sonic Fraternity of the Territory is re-
spectacle in numbers and character. II
transpired from the proceedings of the
session of the Grand Lodge, that
they have, in many instances during
the past year, had occasion TO illustrate
the charitable principles of the order
which more perhaps, than any other
feature, demonstrate its practicability'
especially in this mountain land.

WE SHOULD SAY So.--The Troy
Times. from which the Gazete re-
Gently copied, gives account of some
very singular conduct" as follows:
Yesterday the father of young and beau
tiful girl, only seventeen years of age, who
came TO this city from Albany TO enter a life
of shame, called upon Captain Northrop, at
the second precinct station house, and re-
quested his assistance"
To be only seventeen years old and a
father, to go to Troy to enter upon q
life of shame" and then call upon the
chief of police for assistance" is cer~
tainly very singular, and as bad as the
statement, recently referred TO by us, in
the Panama Herald. We suppose this
seventeen-year-old father must have
been about 10 set up a three-card monte
table and wanted to see what terms he
could make with the police before he
commenced business.

Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1868-02-06

not again come into power during this gen
Grafton, again to bring upon lis rebellion and
calamity. We are simply asking for those
securities that we deem necessary for our
peace and the peace of our posterity.
Sir, there is one great difference between
this Union party and the so-called Demo-
cratic party. Our principles are those of
humanity; they are those of justice; they
are those of equal rights they are princi-
Piles that appeal to the hearts and the con-
sciences of men; while on the other side we
hear appeals to the prejudice of race against
race. The white man is overwhelmingly in
the majority in this country, and that major
ity is yearly increased by half million of
white men from abroad, and that majority
gaining in proportion from year to year un-
ill the colored men will finally be but
handful in this country and yet we hear the
prejudices of the white race appealed to to
crush this other race, and to prevent this
from rising to supremacy and power Sir,
there is nothing noble, there is nothing gen
erous, there is nothing lovely, in that policy
or that appeal. How does that principle
compare with ours? We are standing upon
the broad platform of The Declaration of In-
dependence, that s'a ali men are created
equal that they are endowed by their Crea-
tor with certain inalienable rights; that
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness" We say that these rights are
not given by laws; are not given by the
Constitution but they are the gift of God
to every man born in the world Oh, sir,
how glorious is this great principle COM
pared with the inhuman-I might say the
hcathenish-appeal 10 the prejudice of race
against race; the endeavor further to excite
the strong against the weak; the endeavor
further to deprive the weak of their rights
OF protection against the strong.

to learn that the condition of this or

A ROMANTIC SToRY.-The Oxford
(Ohio) Citizen gives the details of
tragedy which recently occurred near
Mount Carmel, Franklin County,
Indiana. A young girl, the daughter
of wealthy parents, who was educated
ut one of the seminaries in Oxford,
fell in love with o young farmer who
was quitepoor The parents forbade
her to have anything to say to him,
but they managed to exchange letters
through the assistance of young
minister. Finally. they proposed to
elope, but the go-between became
enamored of the lady, and pre- vailed
on ner to run of with him instead of
the farmer. They eloped and were
married. The grief of the farmer
knew no bounds. Determined upon
revenge, he armed himself with q
revolver, and vowed that the young
divine should die for his treachery.
A couple of weeks ago the rivals met,
and the farmer openly shot down the
destroyer of his happiness.
