The procession, under direction Of
Maj. W. W. Humphreys, Chief Marshal,
and his Assistants, hIessrs. John q.
Clarke and L. II. Seel, proceeded to the
Presbyterian yard. where, in the
presence OF between 5000 and 1000
persons. ell that was mortal Of James L.
Orr was buried with full Masonic honors.
These ceremonies were highly interest
ing and beautiful, and were conducted
by Worshipful Master James A. Hoyt.
The Masons wore black coats, high hats
with white Grape, white gloves and plain
white aprons. When the Masonic ad-
dress, responses and prayers were regu-
larly gone through, Worshipful Master
Hoyt deposited on the oasket, to be bu
ried with it, an apron Of q Grand Master
OF New York, another OF Worshipful
Master Berg, of Columbia, and another
Which he took from his person of the
Worshipful Master Of Hiram Lodge, all
in token Of affection and respect for the
deceased. The whole body OF Masons
then marched in circle three times
round the casket, singing touching
Masonic hymn, and on the last round de-
posted on it, now lowered into tho vault,
| each twig Of cedar, or arbor vitn.
"Nothing but the hated Cypress shall
follow US to the tomb" The Masonic
ceremonies closed with the grand gene.
raj honors of thrice times three, the bu-
rial was over, the stricken family and
friends and people generally sadly turned
| away and sought their homes.
Amongst the visitors from your city
and representing its Masonic lodges, we
noticed DR.. Ensor, Mr.. Berg, Mr.. John
son, Mr.. Sutphen and Mr.. Moses. Mayor
Alexander came up with the remains on
Monday, bnt returned next day. Repre-
senting the City Council Columbia,
we saw Messrs. Carroll, Thompson.
Lowndes and Young. They also left
Tuesday, feeling, as one of them said,
| "that their room was considered better
than their company" We are sure,
however, that no incivility was shown to
them, nor meant, and they labored under
mistake in supposing that there was a
committee appointed to take charge OF
visiting committees. There was no such
committee, and no funds ras d for any
such purpose. Every man was expected
to take care Of himself. If he had a
friend to aid him or to entertain him, so
much the better, OF course. The visit
ing brethren OF ''the mystic tie," we
know, wore pleased with their reception
and entertainment. It is probable that
our colored friends found the air some.
thing different from that Of Columbia
little cooler, perhaps-but if roasonn.
BILE men, as they are, or ought to be,
they ought not to make complaint on
that account. They cannot expect to
exercise the same ascendancy, or to be
OF the same consequence here as in Co.
lumbia, whero they hayo things oil their
own way. Henry Jones seemed to be
penetrated bya feeling of genuine SOY
row for the late Governor Orr, and re-
maincd, performing appropriate offices
OF respect until the close of the sad
scene.
