Meeting of the Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows in Chicago.


CHICAGO, Sept lS-At 10 o'clock this
morning the Grand Lodge of the United States
Independent Order of Odd Fellows, met at the
Sherman House, and were escorted by the
Grand Lodge aud Grand Encampment of Hi
nois to Metropolitan Hall, where speech Of
welcome was made by p G. NJ. Rogers,
which was responded 10 by Grand Sire Stew
art, of Washington city. Thirty-fve Grand
Lodges and twenty-five Encampments are
represented.
Among these present are f. d. Stewart,
Vim. r. Mclean and John T. Given, of the
District of Columbia Hugh Latham, of Alex
andria, Va, James L. Ridsely aud Joshua
Vansant, of Baltimore, Nd. After the admis-
sion of the new members, some ffty-two in
number, the business Of tie session was enter
ed upon
The Grand Sire IF. D. Stewart, of Washing
ton, D. CO. presented his annual report, in
which he says;
4" 1t is my privilege to report to you that I'M
exampled prosperity has rewarded our labors
during the past year in every section Of the
general jurisdiction" He states that the re-
ports Of the several grand bodies will show
that the net increase in membership will not
vary far from 10000, making an aggregate at
this time of nearly $4,000 and tho increase
in revenue and disbursements for relief viii be
proportionate. 1t is doubtful whether any
secular organization in tire world for benevo-
lent objects will surpass this exhibit, and it is
believed that few, if any, will be able to equal
it." The Grand Sire refers to having appoint
ed Bro. S. d. Morse as Special Deputy Grand
Sire for Germanic Europe, states that four
lodges have been organized by him in Europe,
and one encampment. lie notices the deaths
of Representative Escavaille and several p G.
Reps, including j. R. Piper and John Mills
Washington, d. C. The latter was one of the
early pioneers of the order, having represented
the grand lodge of the District in 1887.

Words in Season.

The people Ct Jefferson County will DO we'll
to profit by the sensible advice given in the
following article from the Wheeling Register.
BY the nominations to be made within the
next few weeks, the character of the COnven-
tion will be determined The present is, there
fore, the most critical period in the whole his
tory Of the movement. If the proper spirit
prevails now, and proper selections Of candi-
dates be made, the Convention will prove a
success and blessing to the people of the State,
but if otherwise, it may be full of Disaster
We, therefore, most earnestly urge upon our
readers the exercise of the utmost care in the
selection of the men into whose hands affairs
Of so great moment are to be entrusted. We
want the best and ablest men in the State; not
mere politicians not mere partisans but men
Of another and highly different class. In
nearly every county in West Virginia are to
be found some men in whose mental ability the
people have confidence, and who have had
some experience in the conduct of public af-
fairs. They may not be active partisans, and
some Of them may be personally unpopular,
but when the question is, as it is now, who
will make the best constitution for the govern
ment of tie State all minor considerations
should be laid aside. It is well enough for us
to regard our personal likes and dislikeS in vo-
ting for candidates for Offices whose duties are
purely executive, and it is well enough to re-
ward party service by bestowing places of
profit upon those whose labors may have en-
titled them thereto; but, in choosing members
Of the highest legislative body that the State
can have. the only thing to be regarded is the
fitness Of the individual to take part in the
important and difficult work there is to do
The Constitutional Convention is no place for
mere ward or township politicians; and the
pecuniary profits Of membership there are not
sufficient to make it fat place for the reward Of
party work. We trust therefore that the peo-
pie all over tie State Will bid the mere local
politicians sta,S aside for the present and bide
their time while able, prominent and conserva-
tive men are chosen as members Of the Con-
stitutional Convention.

Injunction Dissolved.

Il IS well known % our readers that in the
unfortunate controversy between Tie two sec
tions Of the Board Of Supervisors Of this couu-
ty, each claiming to be De Eoarl, both hc,hcs,
on application Of their opponents, have been
epjoiucd from acting in their Official capacity,
the osbun Board by Judge Maxwell Of the
Court Of Appeals, and the Staley wing By
Judge Stuart Of the 81 Ju3icial Circuit On
the latter injunction an appeal has been taken
to che Court ofAPpeals, where the case cannot
be heard before January, prior to which time
the term Of office Of the present Supervisors
Will expire Ia the former ease-Staley and
Others against Osburn and Others-argument
was had in our Circuit Court on Friday and
Saturday Of last week, on motion Of the dc
PENDANTS to dissolve the injunction. The case
was ably and deliberately argued in favor Of
this motion by Messrs Green and Hunter, and
against it by Mr. Faulkner, and the opinion Of
the Court was delivered by Judge Melvin on
Tuesday morning, granting the motion.
The Judge decided that the four members
constituting the majority Board, holding their
Office BY regular election or appointment &C
oording to law, were certainly acting under
color Of law, and this being the case, the only
appropriate proceeding against them, was what
is technically known as an information in the
nature Of a quo r0yTanio, that is an action
brought by the law officer Of the State, requir
ing them to show by what authority tquo car
uqnio) they claim their Office that an injunc-
ton would only be proper in case Of irTspara-
Die injury pending this information, and that,
consequently, the case not being properly
brought before the Court, the injunction was
dissolved. This decision made any considera-
ton Of the other points raised in the pleadiugs
aud arguments unnecessary, and is q happy
solution Of a controversy that has involved the
county in needless expense, eugendered bitter
feeling, and delayed public business.-all
through the wicked attempt Of two men who
represent nobody, aided by third chosen by
themselves after he was repudiated by the peo-
pie, to thwart the almost unanimous viii Of the
people, to defy the action Of the State legisla-
ture, aud to hold on to the power they have so
long iniquitously possessed and cOrruptly used
In this county

Important to Remember.

As the first election, in which the people Of
eur county have had any voice, since the war,
is near at Land, it may not be improperto call
attention to that section Of the l4th Amend
melt to Tie U. S. Constitution, which disQual-
i6 5 quite a large number Of our citizens from
buldug cfioc, either state or federal, until Con-
grcss sLall remove their disabilities either by
special legislation, or by tie enactment Of a
general amnesty law.
Section 81 Of that amendment is in tie fol-
lowing words
No person shallte a Senator, or Representative
IN Congress, or elcctor for President and Vice
President, or hold any Office, civil or military,
under the United States, or under any State, who
Congress- or as an oiiicer Of the United States, or
as a member Of any State Legislature, or
as executive or judicial officer Of any State, to
support the Constitution Of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrecti0n or rebellion
agains; the same or given aid or comfort to the
enemies thereof But Congress may By a vote of
two thirds of each House remove such disability
We are not prepared to say how far this
very sweeping disqualification extends, but it
may be well, in order to prevent subsequent
trouble and disorgauizatiou, to bear its general
character in mind, in making nominations for
the important State Offices, ia our approach
ing Conventions.

" STOPPED q Little"

The Vest Vrgiman at Fairmont in publish
ing the vote in this State upon the call of a
Conventiun, takes occasion to say that West
Virginia has $4,000 voters, and that the call
for a Convention was forced upon the people
by 8O.CC0-more than %, coo according to his
figures, ,'ssumcd to be opposed to the calD not
voting. Il reminds US of the story Of a very
tall specimen Of the feminine gender who in
stituic0 proceedings against very diminutiye
species u the opposite sex for having kissed
her contrary to her will whilst she
stood upon a chair. Investigation proved
that she stopped a little" BY stay
ing from the polls these $4,000 gave their
assent. Now no iniquitous registration laws
and still more wicked administration thereof
trammel the citizens of West Virginia, as in
the day when the present Constitution was
framed, aud it is sheer nonsense to put forth
such an excuse for the failure of the radicals
q Nest Virginia at the recent election. The
present. Constitution Of West Virginia was

New York Frauds.

The Radical papers in New York and else
where, with their usual avidity, are seizing upon
the exposures Of the corrupt practices of the
TammaDy ring in New York, aud using every
means, honorable and dishouorable, to make
party capital thereof. But the dodge won't DO
Although Paris is France in certain senses, the
city Of New York is not the United States
Nor can the outrageous peculations Of NUM-
cipal officers in Gotham, be justly charged to
the account Of the Democratic or Conservative
party.
1t is true that the Times Of that city, ro-
publican Journal, was the first paper that came
out maniully and preferred charges against the
corrupt officials who were squanderiug the
public money, or amassiug fortunes at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayers. 1t is equally true
that the other journals Of the city regardless
Of party prejudices united in demanding full
and fair investigation Of the charges. So far,
nothing has been brought to light that impli-
Gates Mayor Hall, and the public are bound to
believe the statement Of his innOcency, until
the contrary is proven.
Many Of the most Lonored men Of the Con-
scryatyes were active in bringing the matter
to its present condition. Anditis quite doubt
ful whether, without their aid the exposure
would have been made.
At this writing, things are getting considera-
bly, mussed up" Mayor Hall politely asked
Comptroller Connolly to resign, and he declines
to do that thing, but RENTS to a Deputy "all
and every power and duty of bis Office" The
Mayors next move was to remove Mr. Connolly
and the refractory Comptroller quotes the
words Of a former communication from the
Mayor, in which he says, " cannot suspend
any head Of department, not even pending an
investigation. can only prefer charges to the
Common Pleas, who alone can remove after a
considerable time for trial. So be does not
please to resign but rather prefers to rest his
case with the Court Of Common Pleas What
it viii please the Court to do we cannot of
course say, if the case ever reaches that august
tribunal
General Mcclellan, to whom the Mayor ten
dered the ofice Of Comptroller respectfully de-
cliues it as every one who knows that distin-
guished officer might have foreseen.
SO FAR, " al is lovely" as the phrase goes,
aud should the programme be carried out, the
conservatives nay still come out all right, even
over the dead body Of Tammany. Go ahead
cay we, settle your little matters 50 that cor
ruptiOn viii be put stop TO rOgucs dismiss
ed in disgrace from Office, and honest, capable
men put in. Then you viii take the wind cut
of the Radical sails, and avail yourselves Of
this tremendous breeze.

alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it Is kept fully up to
it's high standard; and it is the on
" reliable and perfected prepare
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, byits use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer aPplica-
lions, and gives the hair a splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,

The knights Templar Convocation.

On Tuesday tho grand triennial Convocation
of,Knights Templar was commenced in Balti-
more, by the meeting Of their Grand Encamp-
ment, at Masonic Temple. The first Convoca-
ton was held in New York, in June 1S16.-
In 1882, a similar one was held in the Monu-
mental City. On Wednesday, over three thou
sand Knights had arrived, and they were
pouring in by every train. They comprise
delegations from every section of our country.
Such an assemblage, draws together at this
tine, for no political purpose whatever, but
actuated soleley by ben evolent designs, and
comprising as they do, men Of every political
party, cannot fail to be productive of much
good, in causing influential men to become bet
ter acquainted with each other and bound more
closely by the mystic tie"
Baltimore is crowded with visitors and pre-
sents gayor appearance than it has done for
years. Thousands Of ladies also grace the
city with their presence. As Baltimore hos
