SOUTHERN LITERATURE.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

Can anybody tell us what is 'The Poes-
que?" OF Poe, per Sc, most of the old habi-
tues of newspaper offices in New York have a
very distinct remembrance as an exceedingly
seedy, ill-conditioned individual, who wrote,
when sober, some genuine poetry, and when
drunk good deal of labored trash. The few
real poems are there to speak for themselves;
unhealthy and powerful as some poisonous
growth, yet giving evidence of unique,
absolute genius, both tempting and impos-
sible for mere talent to counterfeit. Lately,
however, he has gone up among the gods of
the South. Every new aspirant for literary
honors, below Mason aud Dixon's line, is
now approved or condemned as Poesque
or non-Poesque. The new adjective
troubles us. If TO be Poesque means that
these people are out of money, and out at
elbows, trying to make their daily bread or
morning bitters by scribbling verses or stan
deIs upon men who befriendsd them, the case

all the other lodges urging them to keep
watchful eye upon the Vatican, and de-
nounciug the recenJ Papal Syllabus as an
assault upon the moral and spiritual develop
ment of the age.
There are various traditions as to the origin
of Freemasonry, the one most generally ac-
cepted among the Order being that it was
founded by King Solomon at the building of
the Temple. Some writers trace striking
analogies between it and the cabala of the
Egyptian priesthood, the Eleusinian myste-
ries, and the Essences; but the best authenti-
Gated tradition is that the Order was founded
by the rowing architects aud masons who
went about Europe during the Middle Ages,
building Gothic cathedrals, monasteries,
bridges, and other great works. These sub
sequently merged into guilds, which finally
dropped the operative, and took on what is
now known as speculative" masonry. This
was the foundation of modern Freemasonry,
and upon it the work and traditions of the
Order, as they exist to-day, have been con-
structed.
1t is great fallacy to suppose that there is
any political or sectarian purpose sought to
be accomplished by the order, or that there
is any unlawful bond of protection to crimi-
nails who belong to it. 1t is simply moral
social, and charitable institution, which has
prospered because it responds to the natural
instinct of brotherhood, and because it is the
means of accomplishing a vast amount of good
in an unpretending manner

THE WASHINGTON ELECTION AND ITS
LESSON.

From the ". y. Sun.
Matthew G.. Emery has just been elected
Mayor of Washington by about 30Oe majority
over Sayles j. Bowen Mr. Emery is a
Republican, but opposed to the administra-
ton of General Grant while Mr.. Bowen is
a Republican and the present Mayor, and
warm personal and political friend of the
President.
The canvass has developed many points of
q peculiar and instructive character The
Democrats early placed candidate in the
field; but, when the division in the Repub-
lican ranks had assumed serious proportions,
they wisely withdrew their candidate and raj
ried to the support of Emery and installed
him as their accredited leader.
The colored voters held the power to de-
termine the result, and desperate effort was
now commenced to secure their support.
Under the lead of Emery the Democrats con-
sented to the nomination of liberal spcink-
ling of respectable colored men for aldermen
and Common Councilmen. They made some
very wry faces, but agreed to swallow the
Emery concoction
The administration put forth its utmost
exertions to secure the triumph of Bowen.
The President took special interest in his
success, for Bowen had figured actively and
played conspicuous part in the matter OF
the purchase of the famous house which had
been given to General Grant by his admirers
The emissaries of the administration and the
attaches of the Executive Mansion perambu-
lated the departments, and gave the clerks to
understand that they were expected to vote
for Bowen, and that any delinquency in thus
crisis would be visited with sore displeasure
by the leaders of the Republican party at the
capital
But all was in vain. The negroes turned
the scale. And the result is, Emery, Re-
publican bolter in the Mayors chair and
six colored men in the Common Council
chamber!
If the Democratic party of the Union are
not given over to hardness of heart and blind
ness of mind, they will discover in this Wash,
ington election the sign whereby they are TO
conquer in the next Presidential contest.
They must divide the negro vote OF the
South, and thereby carry four-ffths of the
States below the Potomac and the Ohio. The
electoral votes of these States, added to those
which the party may reasonably hope to
obtain in the North, will give them the vic
tory.
The hour is at hand, but where is the man =?

BROTHERS OF THE MYSTIC TIE.

BROTHERS OF THE MYSTIC TIE.
From the NJ Y. Times.
The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons of the State of New York commenced
its annual session in this city on Tuesday, and
will probably adjourn ON Saturday. 1t is
composed of several hundreds of delegates
from the various lodges throughout the State,
among whom are many of the most promi-
nent and influential citizeus of the interior.
Yesterday was laid the cornerstone of the
new Masonic temple to be erected at the cor
ner of Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue.
The occasion has called together a large
assemblage of Masons from various parts of
the country, and the public display promises
TO exceed anything of the kind witnessed in
this city for many years past, several thou
sand visitors from abroad being in attendance.
During the past twenty-five years the Ma
sonic fraternity in the United States has in
creased in strength and influence very
rapidly, and it is now the most powerful and
numerous secret order among us. 1t can
boast of at least $50, 900 members. After
the abduction of Morgan in 1927 the Order
fell into disrepute in the Northern States, and
most of the lodges were discontinued for
nearly ten years, until the political excite
ment caused by that event had died away.
1t was not till about 1910 that Freemasonry
began to revive, bat since then it has steadily
prospered, until now it extends into every
county and into the great maj ority of towns
in the State
Freemasdnry hourisLes very extensively in
other countries as well as our own. There is
no part of the civilized world into which it
has not been introduced. In Europe it is
patronized by most of the governments, and
several ruling sovereigns and many of the
nobility are members CT the order There
was time when, in some of the States, it
was prohibited, from an apprehension that it
might be made an agency of political mis-
chief; but we believe that the Pope is now
the only ruler who openly denounces it.
Several years ago he issued bull against the
order, threatening accommodation of all
Catholics who joined it, the practical result
of which is said to have been that the Roman
communion lost more than the Freemasons
Quite recently the order in the German States
has taken decided action against the Pontiff
We are told that the Grand Lodge THE
Sun, at Bayreuth, has sent an open letter to
