MASONIC.
Imposing Pageant.

New YORK, June S--Yesterday the note
of preparation for the imposing Masonic
ceremonies of today, the laying of
the cornerstone OF Grove Masonic
Temple to be erected in this city,
was sounded. The business of yesterday
was the assembling of the Grand Lodge,
and the reception in fitting form of mem
bers of the Fraternity from Philadelphia
and elsewhere, who had resolved to visit
this city for the purpose of taking part in,
and assisting on, this grand occasion The
weather was unpleasant, and therefore the
imposing procession Of Knight Templars
was not witnessed by rs great a throng IS
it otherwise would have been.
At the Grand Lodge yesterdaytGe Grand
Master of Canada was introduced, and in
the course of his speech paid his respects
TO the Fenians.
The grand procession of Free Masons
this morning wasi in every respect decided
success. The weather was glorious and
grand. 1t was pleasant under foot for
walking. The column was formed in ten
divisions, the right resting on Fifth avenue.
They marched through Fifth avenue, from
Twenty-third street to Fortieth street, Sixth
avenue to Thirty fourth street, and Fifth to
Twenty third street, when the right of the
column halted and the Marshal opened
their several divisions.
The ceremonial of laying the corner
stone then commenced. Different Lodges
with their insignia and their banners pre-
sented splendid appearance as they
marched through the streets, exciting the
admiration of the assembled multitude
which lined the streets along the line of
march. The procession was considered
the finest display by the Masonic Order
ever witnessed in this city. More than
40 900 Masons participated.

WASHINGTON.
The san Domingo Treaty.

Inc san DOAHhtIAEO AAC<Atys
WASHINGTON, June s.-The general
charge that a powerful lobby influence
has been pressing the San Domingo
treaty has attracted the attention of
Senators. 1t has leaked out that Schurz
in the last executive session Of the Senate,
proposed resolution directing the Com
nittee on Foreign Relations TO order an
investigation with the view of ascertaining
if there have been any improper infu-
enees used in the negotiation OF that treaty,
and to send for persons and papers. This
reflection on the Administrators pet
scheme in its foreign policy from such
quarter EXETER a good deal of comment
|, wherever it has become known, and has GER
tainly damaged its prospects for ratification
so far as they have been improved by the
recent amendments TO the treaty. Objec-
ton having been made, the resolution
went over and was called up in the execu-
tive session yesterday, and a long and
bitter personal debate ensued, ct the close
of which the subject was laid upon the
table by an aye and no vote, leaving it
liable to be called up at any time. II
seems that Consul Perry, who signed the
treaty, is principally blamed by the ad-
ministration for this resolution, as he has
come on here, aud now says, while still
protesting to be in favor of annexation,
that the Presidents emissaries fell into
bad hands and we've corrupted. The
friends of the treaty base their opposition
to the resolution upon the fact that there
are no specific written allegations before
the Senate There is an understanding
that the treaty will be taken up for action
next Tuesday, Senator Cameron having re
quested its postponement until that time
to allow him and several others, including
Messrs. Howe and Edmundston, to 60 10
Pennsylvania with the President
The Union Pacific Railroad.
A bill is before the Pacific Railroad Com
mittee of the Senate to grant the Union Pa
cifc Railroad additional land privileges. II
provides that the company or any of its
branches which are entitled TO lands from
the Government TO aid in the construction
of their lines may, whenever necessary to
procure for the purpose of operating said
roads, enter upon any unoccupied and I'M
surveyed lands of the Government not
further from the line of its road than the
limits of their land grant; and may open
and work coal mines thereon; and when
ever after said lands shall have been duly
surveyed any of said coal mines shall be
found TO be located upon other than the
sections granted TO the company, and upon
the sections reserved by the Government,
then the company shall be entitled to en-
ter the lands upon which said mines are
situated, paying the regular Government
rate fixed therefor.

THE MOUNTAIN DISTRICT.
Progress--DemOcrR Can
didate for Congress.

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
CoOKEvILLE, June IL am happy to
inform you that times in fhis section are
again assuming their old state. 1t really
seems under the new administration we
are surrounded with a different class of
people RadGalism has at last become
ashamed of itself, and by force of circum-
stances has come tOthe correct conclusion
that we all have the same interest and
rights under the laws. The Radical
officials holding over under the new Con-
stitutiOn were about the first TO take the
oath to support it.
The Mountain District will try TO send
a Representative to the next Congress,
and the Bald Eagle may prepare to face a
frowning constituency, and bid farewell
to the halls of Congress; so rest assured
that we will do our duty when the time
comes. Col. L. a. James, of Hamilton,
would suit the people very well. l think,
however, we have plenty of good men for
the place, and we must not be clamorous
over men, but put the best foot foremost
and sustain and support it. r- 81.
Go on with your excellent paper. You
are gaining ground every day. | have
been at no place in the mountains but
