PETERsBtRG, October %, 1869.
We had this morning the installation Of
officers according to the beautiful cere-
mony Of the Order.
The President, on taking his seat, deli
livered an appropriate inaugural.
The Committee on Grievances and Ap.
peals reported through their chairman
A(Rev. c. r. Ross that NO case had come up,
and that tl,is fact indicates rare degree Of
harmony n the subordinate Councils
throughout the State!
Rev. Il. n. Whitakers Secretary Of the
State Council Of North Carolina and editor
Of the Friend Of Temperance, was called
on, and made very interesting statement
The Friend Of Temperance was recon-
mended to the Council. There was q
lenr1ny discussion as to the introduction Of
" degrees" into the Order. and a resolu-
ton adopted to the effect that It TSuld be
ineXpedient to do so.
The report on the state Of the Order was
read by Rev. D. a. Long. and indicates
that our prospects are "bright and bright
eniug." IL.
The committee on the Associate feature
Of the Order made report, which was
adopted, and which refers all of the details
to each Council, which is eXhorted to con-
slider earnestly its surrounding circum-
stances, and act with great caution in the
whole matters
The Committee on Finance recommend
that Junior Councils be charged only half
the usual fees. Unanimously adopted.
There will be a grand mass meeting to-
night after which the Council will attend
to SOME other matters and adjourn to meet
in Waynesboro' the fourth Tuesday in April

PORTSMOUTH, October %, 1869.
But little business was done last night
besides what l telegraphed you. The vacan-
cies In the standing committees were all
filed, and the usual special committees APP
pointed. The Division adjourned at late
hour to meet at 10 clock this morning.
SECOND DAY:
The Committee on the State Of the Order
reported this morning. As the best means
of spreading the principles of temperance,
the employment Of a State lecturer is recon-
mended. They also recommend the en-
enlargement Of the Temperance Audlanche,
paper which will soon be started in Rich
mOud, devoted to the cause OF total absti-
nence. Another measure they recommend
is the holding of public temperance meet
ings by each Division at least once month
in their respective localities.
The members of Howard Division had
arranged for public meeting this evening,
and the members Of the Grand Division
united with them, i.lu IL Tue appointed
hour repaired to the church. Very excel
lent addresses were made by Rev. w. L.
Lindsay, of Richmond, and William j.
Blair, Of Portsmouth, both members of the
Grand Division. At the close of the meet
ing the Grand Division returned to the
hall, and went into the election of officers
for the ensuing year with the following re-
suit: G. w. P, r.. &. Staples, of Norfolk :;

Grand Worthy Patriarch as chairman) was
Immediately appointed to draft and report

no doubt seen them ere this.

sion tomorrow, with all other matters OF
public interest which may transpire.

*

ekStOnS.
WASHINGTON, October 29.-It Is stated
that upon the assembling of Congress a
movement will be inaugurated modifying
the powers of the Supreme Court to the
extent of subjecting all its decisions affect
ing reconstruction to the revision Of spe-
cial joint Judiciary committee of Congress
[The foregoing is too absurd to need de-
NAL. Congress may Gust the court of its
Jurisdiction, but will never dream Of the
silly project here attributed to it'll
The policy of the Government in the
Yerger case seems to be to postpone the
issue.
Acknowledgement Hoar, in conversation
with friend few days since, complained
bitterly that the Republican press of the
country does not seem to appreciate the Sit
uation in its true light. He explained that
the next question would be upon the issue
of the writ of habeas corpus, which would
be followed by delay occasloned by an
argumention the questions involved on the
points Of the return made to the writ, and
after that the Government might act in a
manner calculated to effect further delay.
It is evident, therefore, from this state
ment, as well as other circumstances, that
the Administration has agreed to do every
thing in their power to defer final action by
the Supreme Court relative to the recon-
struction acts until after the admission OF
Mississippi and Texas is an accomplished
fact.

FATHER HYACINTuE.-This worthy and
much pestered gentleman desires the Tn
6tt1te to say, in his behalf. rs follows:
Although thankful for the manifold tokens
OF sympathy received at the hands of the
American public, and which, in his opin-
ion, express more than mere curiosity, the
opportunities Of professional interyiewerS
have forced the Rev. Father to give 4 stand
ing order to the hotel employees not to bring
up 10 his room the cards of visitors, except
those OF the few intimate friends who al
ways have free access to him. He formally
denies certain statements which have APP
peared from time TO time in some papers,
as he has on no occasion expressed views
different from those contained in his letter
10 the General Of his Order in Rome, pub
lished in the Tribune of the 4th instant.
The Father states that until present at
the Ecumenical Council in Rome he will
not express further his views and opinions
that he never has meddled with politics eX-
ccpt so far as politics bear upon religion
that he is and will be true and feryent
Catholic, although opposed to extreme
measures and outre sentiments detrimental
to the welfare of the Church. He requests
chat during his further stay in the United
States the public will extend to him that
courtesy due to every foreigner. and to
leave his further actions and movements
unmatched and unrestricted; that all his
visits to different places Of worship, etc.,
are to be explained by the natural desire OF
stranger to see and hear those whose
names are celebrated.

Pooh BEAU I'VE find the following rela-

Pooh BEAU I'VE find the following rela-
tive to one Of Washington's well-known
personages in the Baltimore american:
The hotels and the retail liquor establish
ments were haunted yesterday by a shabby
genteel old gentleman, wearing we'll
brushed although threadbare clothes, q
plug hat with huge weed pinned about it,
and carrying an ivory-headed cane, with
the air of John Hopkins surveying block
of his new buildings on south Frederick
street. This imperious gentleman was the
celebrated Beau Hickman, of Washington,
who had forsaken the capital city to have
capital time in the city of Baltimore. He
enjoyed considerable celebrity, and as he
lounged in bar-rooms or wandered along
the street was frequently pointed out by
those who happened to know him. An
amusing incident occurred on Baltimore
street rs he was standing on one of its cor
ners. Two friends caught sight of him
while he was standing near them. Said one,
"There's Beau Hickman on the corner"
Said the other, "The - it is" Beau
heard the last remark. He wheeled around,
and with the air of the port warden con-
templating his magnificent Improvements
on Jones's Falls, said, eyes, the this
is Beau Hickman and now you We seen
my physiognomy, don't you think it worth
u quarter!" The gentleman handed out a
portrait of the late Nh. Fessenden and in-
continently sloped.
