The time is within the memory ri
middle-aged and even infantile in
habitants when the State Reqister
warmly advocated the election of Hon.
L. B. Stamps to Congress-, but now
that peculiarly virtuous and indepen-
dent journal is devoting it's energies
to the discovery of it's former favorite's
shortcomings, and demonstrating
if its allegations are correct-that he
is by no means such a man as should
be sent to represent people in the
halls Of our national legislature. Did
the Register support Mr.. Stamps upon
the platform Of "any thing to beat
Sheldon" or has he suddenly fell from
grace and turned sinner since the
election 7 Our contemporary is either
lacking in the conscientiousness which
it so repeatedly lays claim to, or is
quite as fallible as less pretentious
journals.

The meeting of the Grand Encamp-
ment of the order of Knights Tenn
plar, in New Orleans, this week, was
largely attended by representatives
OF lodges from nearly every State in
the Union, and;the visitors were hand
somely received and. entertained by
their New Orleans brethren. The
daily parades were all very fine, but
the most magnificent was the final
pageant, yesterday afternoon. Sew
eral thousand Sir knights marched in
line, wearing the tasty uniform of the
order and each man bearing a glitter
ing sword. The day was generally
observed as a holiday, and the streets
upon which the procession moved
were literally jammed with admiring
spectators. The reunion was very
pleasant and satisfactory to all con-
cerned, and served to illustrate the
prosperity of the bene6cient and DOW
erful organization Of Knights Tenn
plar, and to cement still stronger
the mystic ties which bind it's mem
bers together throughout all the CIV
ilized nations Of the earth.

the Democratic assumption Of politi-
