TBE NEW MAsoN1c TEMPLE AT PH11ADE1-

The New MASONIC TEMPLE AT PHILADEL-
pH1A.-The Philadelphia Ledger devotes six
columns to description Of the new Masonic
temple which has been in the course Of erec-
tion for the past Eve. years in that city. The
building extends two hundred anA fifty feet
east and west, whilst its breadth is one hundred
and fifty feet; and it is said to be the largest
and finest in the world. The cost of the ground

June 25, 1868. The building is now nearly
completed, and the ceremonies of ldedica-
tion will begin on the 25th of September, and
continue five days. The total cost Of this mag
nifcent temple is S1,A75,Q00, including cost of
ground, the money having been raised chiefly
BY Masonic loan made under authority of an
act Of the Legislature granting the Grand
Lodge power to raise money for the purpose at
not exceeding eight per cent, or two per cent.

THE TaArs.Ar1ANT1c BALLOON ENrEz:-

THE TRANs.AT1ANT1c BALLOON ENrEE-
pR1sE.-The New York Graphic announces
that, wind and weather and other circunl-
stances permitting, its great air Ship will start
onfthe voyage across the Atlantic on Wednes-
day afternoon, September 10th, from the Capt.
toline Grounds, Brooklyn. The Balloon will
be finished during this week and by Saturday
will be placed on exhibition at the Capitoline
Grounds, 70 which all persons will be admitted
free up to the hour Of departure. The only
companions of the two @ronauts, Wise and
Donaldson, will be reporter of the Graphic
and an experienced mariner, who will take
charge of the life-boat in case the worst comes
to the worst and the balloon deposits its freight
in the Atlantic or some other ocean. But Wise
and Donaldson are said;to have no fear Of such
an event, and are confident that from eighty to
one hundred hours travel will land them on
the shores of Europe. 1t was at first contem-
plated that there should be nine passengers,
but when the lifting power of the balloon was
tested, it was found to be 5000 pounds less than
was calculated, consequently 1000 pounds of
ballast were dispensed with and the passenger
list confined to the four named. The balloon
is I16 feet high and 335 feet in circumference.
1t contains 100000 cubic feet of gas. In a
muslin balloon each thousand feet of gas has
lifting capacity of eleven pounds. This
makes the power Of the balloon $500 pounds,
from which it may be readily estimated that
there is no margin to spare for extra freight

Bad News for the Tax.Payers.

Under this heading, the Aiken Tribune IRE
publican) comments as follows upon the de-
'cision ofthe Supreme Court: e&5Fz
Shipped Of its legal technicality, it means
that the Comptroller General shall at some
time prior to the next term of Sourt-the MI
teenth of November-levy tax to provide for
the payment Of the interest due upon the bonds
which formed the subject matter of the suit,
and, by consequence, upon all the bonds OF the
State now outstanding. In other words, it
icompels the Comptroller to levy tax for the
payment of the interest upon an unknown
quantity of debt, and imposes burden of, at
least, seven; more mills of taxation upon the
people, shpposing that'the debt does not exceed
fifteen millions of dollars, which, we fear, is
very lOW eSllmaLo.
And now comes the question, what are we
goingrto do about it? The Republican party,
which has entire control of the State Govern
ment, sand is therefore responsible. Tor the ad-
ministration of its finances, solemnly declared,
in Convention assembled, = last summer, that
whilst it would make proyisio for the pay
inert of all Its just debts, no bond OF the state
whichgwa5 sssainted with the suspicion of fraud,
should ever be. met. In compliance with this
promise She payment Of interest upon all the
50nds gas suspended so as to enable the ad-
miniatrsEi0E TO investigate the debt, but the
Legislature failed at its last session, to furnish
either plan or the means for snchan enquiry,
and, Immediately after its adjournment, this
suit was brought with the result now an,
nounced. It seems to US that the only remedy
we have at. our command is to ensure the call
of the Legislature, in extra session, and the
adoption by that body of such measures as will
prevent the levy being make until the debt has
been fully and fairly ascertained, or, if made,
and the tax collected, will restrain the Trea-
surer from paying the interest upon any of the
bonds until the proper authorities have decided
,and. declared which of them are legal and valid,
and which tainted with suspicion and fraud:
The people cannot afford to let their hard
earned money be squandered in contributions
to the support of the holders of fraudulent
bonds, and whilst they are willing and anxious
to liquidate the just debt Of the State, they
should not be called on to pay taxes without
knowing to what purpose the revenues are to
be devoted. We hope the Legislature will
be convened at once, and that it will provide
for commission of intelligent aud experienced
gentlemen to investigate the whole subject Of
the debt, so as to furnish report upon which
the General Assembly can act with advantage
to the State ., '" ~ ;''-

Thomas A. R. Nelson, Of Tennessee.

This distinguished citizen of Tennessee died
at his residence in Knoxville on the Oath Of
August, after short illness, from cholera.
He YVES born in Roane county on the 18th
day of March, 1872; was graduated at The
East Tennessee University i'm. .lS2S, and. in
1880 was admitted to the bar. In 1888 he was
appointed Attorney General of the First Dis,
trrict and twice afterwards elected by the people
to the same Office. In 1s45 and again in 1S49
he was an elector on the Wing ticket, and in
1851 President Fillmore appointed him Com
missioner to China, but he declined the Office
In 1859, MI. Nelson was elected to Congress,
and after are-election, he was arrested by the
Confederate authorities while on his, way 10
Washington to take his seat. In 1870, he was
elected Judge of the Supreme Court, a position
that he only held a year before he resigned it
to resume the practice of his profession, to
which he was greatly devoted. :
His national reputation rests in good part
on his prominence in the famous impeachment
trial of President johnson. In sentiment says
the Knoxville Press and Herald, he was thor
oughly conservative, clinging close to the letter
and shirt of the Constitution. No man was
more devoted to the true principles of the Re-
public and to the rights of the citizen than the
departed jurist -.
The death of Judge Nelson recalls to mind
an extract from one of his speeches, delivered
in the year 1867, which deserves to be renem-
bered, and which is as follows: %s
Let the North remember that there is just
God, who ruleth in the armies Of Heaven and
upon earth, who governs nations as we'll as
men that He used the Assyrians as instru-
ments to punish the rebellious Jews; but when.
the Assyrians prosecuted them from year to
wear, when sthey showed no mercy" when
upon them they "laid very heavily their yoke"
He raised up Cyrus to take Babylon, and pun
ish the conauerors, who had been His instru-
ments, most severely. Let them remember
that although the South is conquered and sub.
jugated, helpless and powerless, bound hand
and foot, and bleeding at every pore; though
her rich men have become poor men, and her
great men have been humbled in the very
dust; though her Servants are now upon
horses, and her princes are walking as servants
upon the earth p though famine broods over
the last murmur of complaint; though she has
drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling
and wrung them out"-yet her shrieks Of ago
ny will go up to Heaven, and, sooner or. later,
will be heard !; and in some form, now hid from
mortal ken, He "who forgetteth not the cry
of the humble," viii be- her friend and. her
avenger.

WESTWARD Ho Int Robert Rae, Vice
Atlantic Railway Company, writes, under date
of the 25th inst, that he is every day more
and more encouraged at the prospect of the
road he so prominently represents. The Chica-
go link is fully arranged and has the right Of
way to the Indiana State line. On the Sd OF
Septembee theegreats. work will be commenced
in earnest, preparations having been made to
break ground at 8 rapid rate.
Our people should understand, as MIR. Rae
iorcibly and graphically presents the case, that
this route is the most useful road that the
Southeast and Northwest can hope for. To
farmers, merchants, mechanics, manufacturers
and shippers tits indispensable. Nothing will
open up our section to emigration like cheap
food, and no where is cheap food so abundant
as in the Northwest. Think of it.: a bushel of
grain going all the way to New York, then
down the coast to us, and then some hundreds
of miles back again, all of which the poor Ia
borer, has to pay for; when less than the dis
tance to New York, with quite as easy grades
and at less freight per ton, he can receive it
direct from the producer. The Western grain
men and farmers generally are thoroughly
aroused to the importance OF the new route to
the sea, and feel that they have additional Sc
curity as soon as tney neiP Duiiu H. NeVe,
shall we know our true commercial power until
we have free, cheap and quick intercourse with
the fertile valleys beyond us, nor will the Wes-
tern people know what it is to have proper
market for their produce.
We tell our people that, by some exertion,
they can become the entrepot of this Western
trade. But this will not necessarily be the
case, as we have active rivals, who will strain
every nerve to switch us off by offering greater
inducements. Let us see to it that this calam-
ity befall us not, by exhibiting superior enter
prise against outside competition. augusta
