Spanish Garages On Freemasoas

Another horrible chapter in the story
OF Spanish crime is made public it
relates to the horrible iiidignities
heaped upon F'reemasons and their
families by the. monsters who have
misruled Cuba in the name and by the
authority Of the Spanish government.
1t seems that about four years ago the
Spanish authorities arrested the mem
bers OF the Grand Lodge of Santiago
de Cuba. The brethren were denied a
trial, and the day following their arrest
were conveyed to a lonely neighbor
hood outside the city and put to death.
This was but thv beginning of series
Of horrible outrages that have con
tinued almost without intermission for
the past four years. Every man found
to be a Freemason has been shot or
banished to Spanish peuitentiaries in
Africa. The record of persecution to
which the Freemasons have been sub
jected is now fifty clilnaxed. Or the
night Of the 18th Of the present month,
after the volunteers had concluded the
slaughter of the crew of the Virginins,
their thirst for blood was such that
they attacked the wives of murdered
Freemasens, abusing the defensel, IS
and putting four of them to death. The
story seems too. horrible to be credited.
but unfortunately it is true. We are
not surprised to know that the Free
masons of this section are aroused to
indignation by the intelligence of the
ontrages above 4 ehronicled. Right
Worshipful Ellwood E Thorne, Deputy
Grand Master ofthis State, has already
united with large number of pro
minent officers. and brethren in a peti-
ton to the Master, Warden. and
brethren Of the different lodges. in this
Jurisdiction. The petition baief1y re
cites the. crimes above mentioned, and
concludes in these words: In the name
OF humanity, and in obedience to our
sense Of justice, we ask you to forward
the enclosed document, signed by vour
officers and nnaer't he seal of the lodge.
to the Most Wo1shipfal Grand Master
OF Masons of this State, Christopher G.
Fox, requesting him to call an emer
gent session of the Grand Loge, to take
such action thereon as they in their
wisdom may 81 fit.
Prominent lrecmasons of Brooklyn.
with whom a reporter conversed, states
that the recent iiIdignities are of such
revolving nature that the fraternity
would be false to its fundamental pro
LESSONS if it neglected to express its
sense of these Spanish ban barities, OF
failed to take action looking to the
protection of prosecuted brethren and
their families. 1t is believed that
Grand Master Fox will call the emer-
gent session promptly The whole
civilized world will sanction the efforts
ofthe Freemasons Of this country to
bring to justice the fends whose inhu
man atrocities are chronicled above
Brooklyn argus.

The Southern Press and Cuba.

The leading journals of the South
seem to be more excited about Cuba,
and more anxious to precipitate war
with Spain, than any portion of the
press of the North, with the exception,
perhaps of the Herald. In. Virginia,
the Richmond Dispatch and ENQUIRER
are enthusiastic. The Memphis appeal
wants to "march Immediately upon the
enemies works The New Orleans
Times does not hesitate to declare that
''hostilities in such cause will unques-
tionably meet the hearty approval Of
ninety nine in a hundred" The New
Orleans Picayatne asserts that ''the
United States stands committed to
avenge the murder Of the gallant Fry
and the other citizens of the United
States who have been brntally massa-
cred at Santiago de Cuba" The No
bile Register says "our government
would demand of Spain that the butch
ers and murderers who committed the
foul deed shall he delivered into the
hands Of the government at Washing
ton, to be tried under the laws of ma
tons for their crimes" The Charles
ton " nos hopes 'sto hear soon that the
timid counsels of Fish are disregarded,
and that President Grant has buckled
on the sword" The Mobile Register
demands that vengeance be visited
upon the murderers of Fry and his
companions by our government and
if it fail to do so it is the duty of the
people to take it in hand, and by
sweeping the last vestige of Spanish
dominion from this continent, teach
Spain lesson which she will never
forget The Vicksburg Herald trusts
the government twill vindicate the hon
or Of the nation at any cost and every
hazard" The Columbus (Ga.) Emg1D
e~ affirms that ''if the government says
the word ten thousand Southern men
are ready % grid on their swords. for

WOODSTOCK VIRGINIA.


THE difficulties between Spain and
the United States have been happily
adjusted, without 'resorting to the
arbitrameiit of the sword. The settle
ment should certainly prove satisfactory
to the American people. The basis of
the settlement is the immediate delivery
to the United States Of the steamer
Virginlus and all the surviving passen-
gers and crew, salute to our flag on
the 25th of December, unless in the
meantime Spain shall satisfy the United
States that the American flag was I'M
properly borne upon that vessel, and
that she had no right to the American
papers In case Spain should satisfy
the United States of this latter assump
ton, the salute is to be Withdrawn.
Spain is to formally disclaim any in
territorial indignity to the flag, and the
United States will institute proceedings
against the Vessel and survivors who
have violated the laws of the United
States. The reclamation for damages
Is reserved for further consideration
If the Cuban authorities respect the
orders Of the home government, no
further difficulty need be apprehended,
but if they should decline to give the
proper respect tosthe conditions above
enumerated, it may yet prove necessary
for the United States TO enforce them
in a manner which will prove to be
very effectual and will insure peace not
only to us as nation, hut to the island
of Cuba

On last Sunday afternoon, u destruct-
I've hsilstOrm passed over our town.
There Is always something grand, as well
as terrible in Nature, when she gives A
first class exhibition Of her powers as n
destroying agent. In tho present instance
she did not iail to keep up her usual stan.
dard In that particular. She pelted old
mother earth In an unusually sprightly
and energetic manner with hRilslones,
varying in size, tho largest Of which
reached the size Of black walnut. The
noise, as she showered her grape shot
down upon the roofs OF tho houses, was
simply awful, and the crash OF window
panes minGling with the roar Of the
tempest, was anything but pleasant TO
SET or hear. Ornamental and fruit
trees were damaged to an unusual extent.
When the storm had passed of sufficient.
ly TO allow our citizens TO venture ont
without the fear Of cracked scouces, It was
found that few windows remained entire
upon the north and west sides Of our build
inRs, Some houses had rs many as one
hundred and forty panes Of glass broken
out. We have no reliable means Of in
forming ourselves as to the exact number
Of panes OF glass destroyed In town: hui
Judging from the number sold by the
leading glass stores during the first day al.
ter tho storm, conclude that not less than
from 4OO0 to 5000 werO crushed by the
Storm King on that occasion. Upon the
whole, 1t was tho most destructive hail
storm that we ever witnessed.

The Gold.RIsc.

The rise in the price Of gold, or, rather,
the depreciation in the value Of green
backs, has created an uncomlorta bic fur.
ry in Wall street, and hGs had depress.
ing effect upon business generally. And,
contrary TO expectations in some quarters,
gold has shown no inclination TO drop
back TO its former prices. The reasons
ore simple, and not difficult 10 find.
Among our heavy bankers who have the
most intimate relations with the Govern.
mCnt, and who seem 10 possess the attri-
butte Of fore knowledge SO far as financial
movements are concerned, there Is an
impression that, notwithstanding the Us.
suranCe 10 the contrary, there is soon to
BIO an initiation of the currency. These
financial bUromCtGrs seldom, iisevcr, iAll.
But the shrewd finsnccrs think they
discover plenty Of reasons for believing
the government will soon resort to the
policy OF iuNaliOn. The new Secretary OF
the Treasury has always believed In that
policy, and is known to have great deal
Oi influence in the Cabinet and over the
President. He has always commended, in
opposition 10 eminent members Of Con-
gress, that the government has right to
reissue the tOrIy-tOur millions OF currency
withdrawn from circulation and idle in
the Treasury; and ii is remembered that
he actually put some millions OF 1t into the
market last autumn for political and other
reasons. Believing in the right to reissue
this currency, whether he will do so is
purely question Of policy, to BE- deter
mined by the real or supposed exlgencies
Of the money market. And with three
hundred millions Of bonds TO place In the
markets OF Europe, where confidence In
American bonds is slightly shaken and
the value Of domestic securities has ad-
vAnced, to say nothing Of tho increased
stringency here, our astuto tinanCiers
think they see the exigency which will be
pressed rs Il reason aud excuse tor intla-
ton. They may be mistakenin their cal.
culatiOns; but these idle millions in the
Treasury, under the fingers Of Secretary
who Is impatient to throw them upon the
market, are constant temptation.
The rise In gold might have been pre-.
vented had our merchants kept their i'm.
portations down TO the lowest possible
figure. But, instead Of this, they import.
cd heavily 10 meet the expected demands
Of brisk spring trade; and this alone
would materially affect the price Of gold
for time. An immediate reduction Of
imports is Of course impossible, and the
drain Of gold 10 meet payments in the for
eign market, added to tho vast sums that
will be taken abroad by the thousands
who will visit Europe the coming sum-
mer, must necessarily have a depressing
effect upon exchanges. In view Of these
facts, and while our capitalists and bank.
ers anticipate an initiation OF the currency
by the re issue Of greenbacks nov with
drawn from circulation, We cannot conf.
IDENTIFY count upon decline in the price

(From the PArkOrSburR Times OF Wednesday,
II the several persOnifCations Of not

were truly representatives Of the people
Of this State, we would congratulate our

The best trick to play upon the Legts-
lative scalawags, on their landing yester-
day, would have been closing up the bar.
rooms until train time. But then the
session Ia not over yet, and we had better
rejoice that things are no worse than
they arc.
We understand the general apology Of
the Legislative tOpers who voted for the
anti liquor bill Is. that they had no fear
of making themselves unpopular with the
people in the country who had no great
interest in the matter, and that the town
voters were largely In the minority in the

fear, last night, Of having their pockets
picked. SupeI1uous apprehension. The
work was done at Charleston before the
Legislature adjourned.
We understand that, yesterday, several
Of the members, particularly those who
voted for that silly, malicious and hypO-
critical law, drank OFTEN and DEEPLY,
preparing themselves to fight the, US they
believed, threatened mob, by which they
expected 10 be attacked. As, however,
no mob came, they drank again until they
got iull, fuller, very full. These are the
men who make laws for West Virginia.
