A little less unnecessary fervor in the
Lodge, and a good deal more earnestness
outside, would go much further toward
strengthening it morally and socially in the
estimation of those conscienciously inter-

The duties of good Mason no more cease
with the closing of his Lodge than do the

The question OF the manner of recogniz-
ing the so-called negro Masons is again agi-
tating the Masonic press of the country, and
it is disSraceful to see the extent TO which
certain parties allow their prejudices to car
~ them. Ignoring every principle of COM
mon sense, Masonic law and common de-
cency, they attempt to carry point by get
ting a resolution through Grand Lodges
which shall merely declare all negro MasoEs
in their res pective Jurisdictions legitimate by
the simple adoption of a Resolution. BY
such a process all the illegal work done
during a half century by wholly unauthOr-
lied parties shall. be recognized, and the
riff raft" of creation brought into COM
mon Brotherhood with those who would
never have accepted them by an unanimous
ballot. We protest against any such sweep
ing mode of making Masons, and we plo-
test against the assumption of power by any
Grand Lodge which shall thus ignore the
sacred and inalienable right of every Lodge
and the Fraternity at large of voting indi-
vidually upon every applicant for the hOnors
of the institution. We hold that no Grand
Locge has any such power, and If it is at
tempted by any it will meet the unqualified
contempt and resistance of the Others. There
is no law of the Grand Lodge which pro-
scrlbes any free born man on account OF race
or color, but each applicant must pass the
same unanimous ballot that all others have
done who have gone before t EN- and any
violation of this sacred principle will, most
undoubtedly, and only in the worst Masonic
disunion that has ever cursed the fraternity
since its organization, and any man or set of
men who will attempt it can only be looked
upon by the honest Craft as the secret enc
mics OF Freemasonry and from all we can
learn, by close observation and from hear
say, only confirms us in the belief that such
parties are the paid emmissaries of our
worst enemies.
Again, we say that they will only end in
bringing their Grand Bodies into eternal
disgrace and bringing unending discord
ties to call themselves Masons is living Ii
bel upon the truth, the honor and integrity
of our Fraternity. Let every Mason be adj
mitted, regardless of color, religion or ma
ton, by the individual merits he possesses,
and if he can pass the unanimous ballot of
regularly constituted Lodge then there
con be no complaint, but ~e protest against
the right of a mere majority in Grand
Lodge making Masons by wholesale.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
Mr.: PREsIDEET: The Committee on the
Judiciary, 70. whom was referred the mes
sage OF the Governor in relation to the cleo
ton OF Public Printer, have had the same
under consideration and have instructed me
70 report to the Senate that in the opinion
OF the Committee. there is now no legally
elected State printer. The provision Of the
Constitution requiring that every order res
olution, or vote TO which the concurrence of
both Houses may be necessary Except on
cases OF adjournment) should be presented
TO the Governor, and before il shall take eff
feet, be approved by him, is not susceptible
of being misconstrued or misunderstood
The language employed needs no interpre-
tation, II is plain. direct and mandatory, and
as the election of Fisher & KiInball to the
office of State Printer, on a former day of
this session of the Legislature was in direct
disregard OF this provision of the COnstitu-
ton, your Committee are constrained to con-
eur with the Governor in the opinion that
their election was null and void. and there
Is now no legally elected State Printer.
