Forty-yixth Annual Communication Of the
Grand Lodge Of the United States-Names
Of tho Onicers and Representatives.
BALTIMORE, Sept. Is, 1870.
Tomorrow morning, at nine O'clock the r. W.
Grand Lodge oil the United States Of the independent
order Of Odd Fellows will commence It's forty-sxth
annual session, In Odd Fellows Hall, on Gay street.
A Large number OF the representatives are already
mere, and every train adds to the number. Previous
rather hasty legislation upon regaa, the custody Of
charge books, &C., VIII doubtless obtain the calm
consideration and nal action of this session. while
the various pending constitutional amendments
some Of which have been STAYED or from session to
session for years-cannot be longer delayed.
The proposed amendments to articles one and
seventeen Of the constitution 80 as to change the
title from "Grand Lodge OF the United States'' TO
"Supreme Grand Lodge" or "MOst Worthy Grand
Lodge of the Independent Order OF Odd FellOws
it is thought by many will fail Of adoption, and
that the suggestion CT Grand Master Pettit OF New
York jurisdiction TO amend the above article so as
to make it read 'Federal Grand Lodge,'' will be
proposed.
The proposed amendment of article of the
constitution to permit the alteration Of the
"unwritten worxn by four-hlths vote, instead Of
requiring the unanimous assent OF The Grand Lodge,
has been frequently 'slalno already; but sooner
Is it down than, Phenx-ike, 1t is up again:
Importance as well as laws recently adopted in
apparent cOnlction with previous enactments, will
be acted upon and straghtened out IN sucn man
her as to avoid future mlsconstructlon.
very important feature OF this session Will be the
election Of grand officers and at the present writing
1t Is almost impossible 10 guess who VIII be the next
presiding Grand Onlcer. The present Deputy Grand
Sire, Frederick d. Stuart, and John w. Stokes, OF
Pennsylvania are the two most prominently brought
tO view in the contest ana unless third candidate
Is nominated it will be out OF the question TO COR
