others claim the seventeenth century as
the tlmo when Masonry was first fairly
organized. Several incontrovertible facts
lead me, however, to believe that we may
safely go far beyond the seventeenth
century III tracing our ancestry. Be this
rs it may, all are agreed that the order Of
Free and Accepted Masons ia very
ancient brotherhood, possessed Of i'm
portant secrets, which are carefully
guarded, and transmitted in their pris-
tine purity to the initiated from genera
ton TO generation.
But 1T is not our purpose to dwell on
the antiquity of Masonry. We will,
therefore, direct your attention to some
thing OF u moro general interest, namely,
"What good, if any, has Masonry ac-
complished, and has it fulfilled its mis-.
sion2''
First. then, "What good, if any, has
Masonry accomplished" We reply,
that it has accomplished much, and that
its happy influence is felt by you all.
Man is social being; he docs not live
unto himself alone, and to be banished
from the society Of his fellow-mcn, is the
soverest punishment which can bo in1ict-
ed npon human being. The social
qualifications, US one of the essential
conditions of the happiness OF man, are
eminently cultivated by Masons, aud
therefore it is that We congregate in our
lodges for social purposes. This subjects
us to many unjust ISLANDERS, through the
unfounded assertion, that in our meet
ings. wo indulge too freely i'll the intoxi-
eating cup. AS wc have no means OF
seeing into the hearts of men, when ap-
plying for initiation, we ut times mnke
mistakes by rejecting good material and
preicrring tho inferior. Thus it is that
men are admitted into our order who
cannot curb their strong appetites, and
who, by their base conduct, not only
disgrace themselves, but, in addition,
bring bad repute upon the entire fra
ternity-at least, in the eyes of the out
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-10-15

otherwise with us; for wherever We go
we meet brethren, and are received as
brethren.
Masonry teaches liberation. 1t teaches
us not to persecute men who may differ
from us in opinion, and to respect them,
although their peculiar views may clash
with our own. The weakness to con.
demn any one on account of his creed
or politics, has been the cause of hatred
and feud; but men will no! learn that the
opinion of others may be as good as
their own, or at least entitled to their
regard.
Masonry cultivates mans mind, ele-
Yates his thoughts; above all, it teaches
the brethren to overcome prejudices-
for 80 long as we are blinded by preju.
dice. we are not capable of Judging cor
rectly; we cannot distinguish between
what is right and what is wrong. We
must learn to form our own judgment,
based upon sound reasoning; we must
not be swnyed hither and thither, like a
broken reed, nor ought we always follow
popular opinion, for it is often wrong.
Tho true Mason onGht, therefore, to be
a man of character.
Masonry has first nursed nrt and
science. In fact, these were originally
entrusted to the craft, and wero neither
known to, nor practiced by. the unini-
tiatcd. And though mon afterwards ex-
celed in the arts and sciences who were
no Masons, they built upon the ground
work which had been securely laid by
our brotherhood.
My Christian friends, that you are to-
day allowed to worship God according
to the dictates Of your conscience, is. to
largo extent, owing to tho influence OF
Masonry. 1 do not wish to be under
stood as asserting that tho reformcrs and
martyrs were all Masons--far from it; but
I do maintain that Masonry educated
and directed the minds Of their fellow
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-10-15


mans every action, there is need for
Masonry. AS long as men indulge in
the free use Of the intoxicating cup-as
long as men lack strength of mind to
shun evil and do good-as long as injus-
tice pollutes Gods earth-we dare not
lay aside the chisel and the hammer.
Yes, as long as there is but one rough
ashlar left, we must work it. 1.-THE gu
perauities of vice" must come off before
the perfect ashlar is obtained. AS long
as there is but single man TO be re-
gained to usefulness, We must apply the
plumb of rectitude, the square of mo-
rality, in accordance with the design on
the trestle.board.
AS long as the sound of distress
reaches, though but family, our ear, We
must extend the helping hand and dry
the tears OF sorrow-no matter whence
the wailings come, North, South, East
or West; whether from Greek or Roman,
Jew or Gentle, we care not, because we
are taught to look upon distress with
feelings of commiseration.
AS long as q lack Of union separates
man from man, engendering harsh and
bitter feelings, there is need for Masonry,
for we must spread the cement of bro
therly love and affection; we must be
ready, with trowel in hand, until that
bond Of union is established which
cements these lifcless rocks.
AS long as distinctions separate man
from map, there is need for the Mason's
level especially when we consider that
the wealthy have scarcely over felt what
temptation is. At their cradle vas luxu.
ry; they grew up in opulenco, and if
they never sinned against the seventh
commandments, what praise do they de-
serve? Is not tho poor, industrious
man. who struggles against poverty, suf-
fers privations, and yet remains honest
is he not worthy to sit side by eide with
the king?
AS long AS man is intolerant. uelish,

The InhuntrIaI Exposition.

The first grand Industrial Exposition is
drawing to a close. The attendance last
night was even larger than usual, and the
goods on exhibition were greatly admired.
Mr.. Leighton, the popular shirt king,
corner of St. Charles and Canal streets,
made a splendid show in his line. His
supply of cravats is infinitely various and
the finest we ever saw. There is single
shirt in the corner of one of the cases that
takes the ''rag off the bush" The ineness
of the stitching is declared to be unequaled
in the world. Leighton offers challenge
of $1,000 to the whole world, and we know
he is able and will stand by his word. The
stitching was done by Southern lady. 1t
is something worth looking at; alsOsLeigh-
toms automaton musical clock.
The baby show will take place tomorrow
from u M. to P. NJ, when the awards will
be made. Three prizes are named for the
pretties6 babies-the first perambulatOr,
the second an appropriate donation from
Mr.. E. A. Tyler, and the third $25 in gold
from the association. Five goOd-natured
but confirmed old bachelors are chosen as
the umpires, and, of course, can have no
other interest than in seeing fair play.
Jaeger's band will be in attendance early
in the evening. Admission twenty-five
cents to-day and tomorrow, after which
Exposition Hall will be closed for short
period.

Local Intelligence.

GONG IN FLUSH AND COMING OUT
FLEEcED.-Captain White-we need not be
more definite-went into that noted house
of expensive pleasure on the corner OF Ba-
sin aud Gasquet streets, conducted by
Mime. Mary Kahn, whose Establishments are
sometimes irresistible, and with five hun
dred dollars in his pocket. One of the
young ladies of that classic institution
known as Susie Albert, interviewed the
captain, perhaps to ascertain his views of
the political situation, and whether he
would go for Greeley and vote for Grant,
or 90 for Grant and vote for Greeley.
The discussion was warm and animated,
and when it ended there was also an end of
Captain Whites money. He came out Of
that ohaste precinct with nary dime about
his person, and full of the belief that he
had been cruelty squeezed, he prevailed on
Captain Mccain to arrest the parties, Mary
and Susie. This done he went to the coun-
try, and coming back day or two since
the fair inamOratas were arraigned before
Recorder HOughton yesterday afternoon,
and held for trial at the Criminal Court.
Captain White, like many other indiscreet
men, has probably made permanent in
vestment, and it may be that that fact is
all he can prove, it not being quite clear
where his money went to, or what took it.
The moral is, don't talk politics with a
frail woman, with big pile OF money In
your pocket.

CHARLES SUMNER RADICAL REPUBLICAN
CLUB, THIRTEENTH WARD.-There was a
large and enthusiastic meeting of the men,
bers of this club on the twenty-secOnd in
slant, at the hall over the market, corner
Of Magazine and Berlin streets. President
J. B. Gaudet occupied the chair. The Pres
ident addressed the club about as follows:
GENrLEMEN-This club was called to-
gether for the purpose of reorganization.
You see by the minutes of our last meeting
that we attempted this thing before, but
there being some few disappointed sore
heads in the ward who, because they were
too far in the minority to elect the man
whom they wanted tor president, concluded
to prevent you from electing the man of
your choice. Now some of you may ques-
ton the prOpriety or wisdom of cOnven-
ing the club in this hall, but you
know we are a law-abiding set of people.
We are willing to do anything to promote
harmony in our ranks. Hence, after con
suItiug some of the leading men of our
club. we have concluded to convene the
club here, that yOu may be afforded an OPP
portunity to cast your votes freely and in
dependently, and according to the dictates
of vour own conscience. We have, gentle
men, too much respect for tree speech and
for ourselves to assume to take advantage
Of those people because they are in the
minority. No, gentlemen, let them proceed
in their follv until they have realized their
hallucination, and they will be glad to come
back to the folds Of the old mother ward
cIub again. am now ready to execute
what may be the pleasure Of the club.
On motion of Colonel Lockwood, the
club then proceeded to the election Of Off
GERS, to serve for the ensuing six months,
resulting as follows: President, j. B. eau
Diet; first vice president, John GarstkamPi
second vice president, John Lockwood
