Our Richmond Letter,

RICHMOND, VA, April 10th, 1870. 3
Our city has been unusually quiet for the
past few days, and the Police Court each morn
ing has proven, by the small number of cases,
that we are a law-abiding and peace-loving set
Of citizens.
The Municipal War is about to be brought
to close, and the true men who have been
faithful to the City Government will be re-
warded, for once In our life time right will pre-
vail and might will be left out in the cold =
Never before in our recollection has such been
the case and it seems a little odd for the true
Virginians and cur own people to be holding
the offices and looking after the interests of our
people. Matters, however, begin now to as
sumo healthy appearance and it will not be
long we hope before victory will perch On our
banners. There can hardly be a people who
have suffered more Of late than the Richmond
people and certainly mona who appreciate the
just result more than they do here.
The Legislature has been engaged since last
Wednesday in the election of City and Corpor~
alton Judges, and so soon as they finish with
these they will go at once into the election Of
County Judges The following gentlemen have

The remarkable success which attended our
negotiation OF the Loans of the CENTRAL PAc1F

cIFIc RAILROAD COMPANY, and the popularity
and credit which these Loans have maintained
in the markets, both in this country and Europe,
have shown that the First Mortgage Bonds of
wisely-located and honorably managed Railroads
are promptly recognized and readily taken as
the most suitable, safe, and advantageous form
of investment, yielding more liberal income
than can hereafter be derived from Government

Free Masonry.

We clip the following history of this ancient
order, from the Lyuchburg Hyginian, which
that paper condensed from sketch of Masonry
published in the Norfolk Journal:
At the beginning fthe American revolution.
Virginia lodges were working under charters
from the Grand Lodges of England, Scotland
ana aI ireland, and there was no Grand Lodge of
virginia, as now. A convention was called by
the Masters and Wardens Of the various Lodges
OF the colony, which met at Williamsburg, May
9Th, 1777. The delegates we're Matthew
Phripp, from Norfolk James Kemp, from
Fort Royal; Duncan Rose, from Blandiord !;
William Waddil and John Rowsay. from Viii
llamsburg, and William Simms and John Craw-
ford, from Cabin Point
1t was then determined to organize Grand
Lodge and elect Grand Master, and COM
mlttee was appointed to prepare manifesto to
that effect. The convention adjourned to meet
at Williamsburg May Is, when the report ofthe
committee was adopted, and the body adjourn
ed until June %.
In pursuance of the action thus taken, five
Lodges sent delegates, viz: Blandford, Port
Royal, Fredericksburg. Williamsburg and Cabin
Point and James Mercer was elected president.
They recommended for the office of Grand
Master His Excellency General George Wash
ington."
In consequence of summons from the Right
Worshipful James Mercer, the Convention
again met in Williamsburg on the 18th Of Octo-
Der, ITS, and organized There were present
Robert Andrews, W. NJ; James NJ Fountain,
s. W; James Wilson, j. W.; Duncan Rose,
Tyler and VIM. Waddill, Secretary The 9th
er brethren were James McClurg. John M.
Gait, Christopher Pryor, james Bclches and
John Crawford.
The public duties of Brother George Wash
ington having prevented him from accepting
the position of Grand Master, the Right Wor-
shipful Warner Lewis was nominated. He
however declined after which the Right Wor-
shipful John Blair, of Williamsburg was nomi-
mated and unanimously elected
On the 30th Of October, ITS, the Conven-
ton again met at Williamsburg. There were
present Robert Andrews W. NJ; Dr. James
Taylor, S. W.; James Gait, Treasurer Duncan
Rose, Secretary, and forty-four other brethen.
The Lodge was opened in due form, and W. M.
Robert Andrews installed the r. W John Blair
In the Office Of Grand Master Of Virginia, who
then appointed the r. W. and Rev. Robert
Andrews, ID G. NJ.
Such is brief history of Masonry in Virgin
la up to the formation Of the Grand Lodge and
the installation of the first Grand Master of the
State. Since that time the order has greatly
aouiished, until it now numbers two hundred
and thirty-three Lodges, with Thomas E.
Owens, Esq, as Grand Master, to whose eff
fciency the journal pays merited tribute.
