LEWIS PIGGING WITH BUTLER
The Richmond Dispatch says: In the
United States Senate on Friday last a
bill was introduced by Mr.. Lewis, o
Virginia, for the creation of an inter
nal revenue police force. The very
apparent design of this is to enable the
Radical officials and their allies in the
South TO organize armed bands at the
expense of the Government to overawe
and oppress the people of that section.
The Washington correspondent OF
the Baltimore Gazette says:
"Of all the speeches recently matie
in either Houses of Congress, or in
their secret cOnclaves, that OF the scala
wag Lewis, of Virginia, delivered in
the Senatorial caucus yesterday after
noon, was the most significant, the
most truthful, and the most senten-
tiOus. He briefly warned his fellow
conspirators that if something was
not at once done, and that something
decisive, there would be no Republi-
can party in the South at all-black or
white This touches the very marrow
of the grave question at issue. The
people of that downtroaden section,
without regard to race or color, must
be bayonetted into the support of the
Radical cause, or all must be lost"

MasOnry Saved Him.

We ale indebted to the Portland ar
Gus for the following thrilling story:
II we are not mistaken we have
heard or read somewhere that truth
"a stranger than fiction" An instance,
strictly true. has come to our knowl-
edge which vividly illustrates that,
and also exhibits with almost startling
effect the danger of mob law and the
benefits of Masonry.
Young Maine man, who rs engag-
cd i'm the Commercial travelling" bu-
,iness for a Chicago house, was recent
ly travelling out in the Far West,
when he was taken possession OF on
the train by two men who simply in
formed him that they were officers
and wanted him. He expostulated,
explained, demanded explanations,
Sc. but all in vain. No one on the
train knew him, and there were those
who did know both the officers. AL
he could get out of them was, that he
was the man they wanted. In this
way he was taken some ninety miles
into the interior. Upon arrival he had
no longer to remain in ignorance oi
his supposed offense, the whole village
being out to greet him with such
cries as Here's the id horse-thief
caught at last"
"Le.'s string him up"
The officers made some show of re-
sistance. but the excited mob took pos
session of their victim and marched
him into the town, near the centre o.
which n moose was already strung Ovei
the limb ofa tree. Our friend thought
il was all up with him, sure. Expos
tulation was received with derision.-
Everybody recognized him as a noto
rious horse-thief, whose depreciation:
in the vicinity had been long contin
ned and extensive. A horse-thief il
that section is looked upon as some
thing worse than an average mur
derer. There was not a pitying eye II
the crowd, and the universal how
was 10 lynch him. He tried topray
but the commercial travelling busines
had ruined him for praying! Whil'
waiting under the moose, happ!
thought struck him! His Masonry
He was a Royal Arch Mason
In all that crowd there must be Ma
sons. He gave the grand-hailini
sign of distress!" We are not ut lib
erty 10 explain how il is done for seve
raj reasons, the chief one of which Is
we don't know! But he gave il, ant
In an instant one CT the foremost citi
zens of the town sprang 10 his side
and he gave some more Masonic sig
mails, and the prisoner was quickly suT
rounded with twenty or thirty deter
mined men, who held the crowd Il
bay with drawn pistols. Our frien
explained to the leading man who h
was; they organized a committee {
investigation; telegraphed TO Chicag
and verified all his statements; an
