Odd Fellowship i'm Germany.

The New York Tribune, of the Sth inst,
says that lodge of the Independent Order
OF Odd Fellows, under the Jurisdiction of
the Grand Lodge of the United States, has
been instituted at Stuttgart, in Germany,
by the Special Deputy commissioned by
the Grand Sire of the American Order 1t
is a noteworthy circumstance that people
engaged in deadly conflict with foreign
power should, in the midst of wars tumult
and excitement, turn its attention to an
organization having for its purpose the
promotion of peace and universal good
will. The American Order of Odd Fellows
has the endorsement of the Prussian Gov
eminent, secured through the influence of
Minister Bancroft, and it is believed that
the Order will spread rapidly through t @
German Confederation. There are many
thousands Of German Odd Fellows in this
country in New York city alone there are
twenty four subordinate lodges of Odd Eel
laws working in the German language, and,
in view of the high esteem they entertain
for this benevolent and brotherly society,
il will Rssuredly rejoice their hearts to
know that their kinsfolk in fatherland may
now avail themselves of the privilege 10
become connected with an association
whose motto is Friendship, Love aud
Truth, and whose command is TO visit the
sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead
and educate the orphan.
The subject of introducing Odd Fellow
ship into Germany under the jurisdiction
of the American Grand Lodge, was first
proposed by our fellow citizen E. ID. Farms
worth, who at that time was the Most
Worthy Grand Sire of the Grand Lodge of
the United States. 10 company with
deputies that he appointed for that pur-
pose, the Grand Sire started for Father
land, but in consequence of the sudden
commencement Of the war, he could pro-
coed no further than Paris, where he found
it impossible to get through the lines, and
finally had to return home without accom-
plishiDg his mission in person, but the
special deputy commissioned by him has
faithfully carried out his orders, and sue
ceeded in planting the white banner OF
peace in the very midst Of moving armies
and wars tumult. 1t will certainly be 4
cause for congratulation among the Ger
mkn population of this country, a large
majority of whom are active and jealous
members of the Order to hear of the final
success of this important mission.
At meeting of Trabue Lodge NJ. Il
held last night, the subject was mentioned,
and the officers of the Lodge instructed &c
send dispatch of congratulation to Cali
fornia. The following is copy Of the tel
| egram forwarded:
| TemplaT Lodge l. o. o. T., San Francisco, Cal.
Trabue Lodge most heartily congratu
lates the Order in California on the com
| plete establishment of American Odd Eel
lowsbip in Stuttgart, Germany.

A st. Louis circular Of the 9Th says:
The yield of the incoming corn crop will
undoubt dy prove largely in excess of any
previous year, and is coming forward with
daily Increasing freeuess, ard proves to be
generally in the finest condition and of the
most unexceptionable quality we have ever
known it, being as dry if not dryer now
than it is in usual seasons a month or six
weeks later. The demand for the past two
or three weeks has Eeen very great, and
a large proportion eff the Eastern orders are
MP to this time unified from want of stock,
or because of the large advance on the
opening price. The demand Is still rather
in excess of the supply of yellow, the re-
ceipts of which particular quality are as
yet quite meagre. The total receipts are,
however, much in excess Of the previous
week, and we apprehend very large 10
crease weekly until the weather prevents
deliveries at country stations from bad
roads

\ Legislative Breeze.

In the House of Repre- sentatives, yester-
day, a very animated discui sion took place
on the bill to transfer the Rogersville and
jefferson Railroad to Trustees. The bill
had previously passed and failed to receive
the sanction of the Governor. The ques
ton being on the passage of the bill over
the Executive veto, White, of Hawkins,
whose constituents were materially inter
ested in the result, made powerful Rrgu-
ment against the veto. He was supported
by Messrs. Fleming, of Knox and Bosom, OF
HGrdeman, in argument. The opposition
embraced some of the ablest debaters IN
the House, and the discussion was the
most animated that has yet occurred. Al
ter a warm contest, in which Mr.. White
displayed great tact aUd ability, the House
refused to pass the bill over the veto, and
1t consequently failed.

horse stealing, was pardoned yesterday by
Gov. Senter Carroll was sentenced for
ten years, and had served out about half
that term. A petition was received 10y the
Governor from parties in West Virginia,
stating that Carroll had formerly been n
resident of Hardy county, West Virginia,
and that, while living there, he had borne
a good character for honesty, sobriety ~ d
industry II Was further stated that Car
roll had only received horse or horses
that had been stolen by other parties: that
he did not know them TO have been stolen,
aud that he was directed TO conduct the
animals TO certain place. As Carroll was
poor, and without friends in this vicinity,
he was unable TO prove his assertions ~
the time Of trial; and the petition stated
that his fciends believed him INNOCENT of
the charge brought against HIM.

AvILLAUNOus PLOT DISCOVERED
The WOrkhOusc Narrowly Escapes
Destruction by Fire.
The Inmates Resolve TO Escape by
Burning the Building.

Last night some of the Off GERS of the
Police discovered a vii ainous plot, which
came near being carried out successfully,
to bgEn the city workhouse by the in
mates. as a means of effecting their escape.
It appears that officer Corbit, having some
business there, went down TO the work
house early in the evening, and had one of
the inmates outside the main building III
terTogating him in reference tc some mat
ter, and after completing his business with
the man TO whom he was talking, was
about to leave, when the man voluntarily
confessed to the officer that plot was on
foot inside the building as above stated.
The officer Immediately effected an en-
trance, and found that they had torn up
portion of the floor with which to fire the
huiiding, and had actually ignited the pile.
BY prompt action he with the assistance of
others extinguished the fire, and proceeded
to transfer all tire inmates to dungeons,
where they were secured for the night.
They intended as soon as the fire got well
going TO give the alarm of fire, and through
the excitement that would follow make
good their escape. This is in briet the
account as we could gather it at late hour
last night, and we believe is in general
correct.
