Secret Organizations.

The Public Record, of Philadelphia,
of the 18th, contains an account Of the
meeting of the Philadelphia Presbytery
of the United Presbyterian Church, and
remarks that when that body got its dig
nifty around in good shape, and settled
few Uunion matters,
An appeal was presented from the de-
cision of the session of the North church,
which had admitted a member who was
connected with the order of Odd fellows,
to which others took exception.
1t appeared from the discussion which
followed that the fifteenth article of the
testimony states that the members of the
church "oughtnot to" be connected with
an oath bound order, and it was asserted
that the oaths and religious services,
both in the Masonic and Odd-Fellows
orders, ignored the existence of the Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ.
Rev. DIR. Barr said the secret societies
were opposed to the church and to chris
tianity, and he would rather burn his
arm off to the shoulder or be burned to
the heart than favor them.
And pray who are those ministers who
presume to sit in Judgment upon these
organizations Are they more learned,
moral or pious than ministers who are
members of these orders2 Have not men
a legal, moral and religious right to as
semble themselves together for moral
instruction. Do Masons or Odd Fellows
interfere with the affairs of the nation?
or criticise the creeds or confessions of
of faith of any of the churches2 Do they
profess to be teachers of reigion2 Very
far from it. They leave that for the
minister of the church to which each
brother belongs. viii they not, in point
of numbers and morality, favorably com
pare with the members and ministers of
the christian church, Did DIR. Milern,
of st. Georges, New York, or DR.. Be
dell, Of st. Andrews, Philadelphia, two
eminent servants of God, ever declare
these institutions to be dangerous, and
membership in them disqualification
for communion with the church, The
names of these two men, for scholarship,
moral and religious worth, will live and
shine as long as worth shall be appreci-
ated. The institution to which they be-
longed has embalmed their memory in
their heart of hearts. Would il not be
well for the restless and uneasy of man
kind to remember the sage advice of the
fox to the wolf: "When You are well
of yourself, let others alone"

NEW VIEW OF THE SOUTHERN
QUESTION.

Prominent Senators and Representa-
tives-many of them good lawyers and
military men-hold that the status OF
the reconstructed States is entirely diff
ferent from that Of the other States.
They maintain that the reconstruction
measures were but experiments at best;
to be amended or abandoned altogether
if found not to work satisfactorily. The
reconstructed State governments have
not at any time been recognized as on
the same footing as the others. They
may be repealed by Congress and the
States remanded back under military
government if necessary. Or, if Con
gress is not in session, it is held that the
President has full authority, since the
rebels persist in their revolutionary CON
duct to set aside the State authorities
and proclaim martial law in the insur-
rectionary districts.

me Death of go1eTnor Braalette.

Our local columns this morning fur.
nish the incidents Of ths last illness and
death Of Ex-Governor Thomas Z. Bran
lette, The more intimate Of the de-
ceased getleman's friends have been fo1
several weeks past apprehensive as to his
condition, and these endeavored to shut
him out from effort and excitement OF
every sort. Their fears proved to be
only too well founded. The ex-Govern-
or breathed his last at two O'Clock yes
terday afternoon. He was a man uni
versally admired and esteemed. Self
respecting, impulsiye, liberal, brave and
honest, he combinded many OF the most
opposite trnits of character. Without
a single vice, he was most genial and
companionable socialist With themost
obdurate convictions as to duty, he was
affectionate and placsble. He was q
blindly gorgeous and absolutely fear
less man, morally and physically. OF
commanding presence and great muscu-
lar strength, quick and ready, he exerted
all his life unusual personal influence.
Yet few men of his bold and active
temper ever left so few enemies behind
them. Governor Bramlette was gener-
GUS to a fault, forgiving always, never
vengeful or vindictive, never an ag-
gressor except under the spurof impulse
which was sympathetic and gallant,
leaning to the side of the week and
oppressed. Louisville Courier-J Journal

AT Carbondale, Penn, on the 14th,
a daring and successful attempt was
made to rob the First National Bank.
The cashier, james Stott, an old man,
was assaulted and bound by two men,
who gathered up about $4,000 in cur
rency, and escaped by the back door, as
a woman was coming to the front. The
alarm was given, but they escaped.
Subsequently two men were arrested.
but Stotts could not swear to their iden-
tity although believing them to be the
thieves.

THE Governor deserves credit for rec
ommending a reduction of expenditures
in several branches of the public service,
but it is remarked that he made no rec
concentration for reducing the pay of the
Governor, which we have shown, is ex-
cessive when compared with that of even
the most wealthy and prosperous States
in the Union. Why his silence on this
scandaIous abuse? Does he want to en-
force upon others a rule of honesty and
economy which he is unwilling to have
applied to himself?

for with much interest. 1t is published
IN this paper. The character and capacity
OF the citizens who conducted the inves-

thorough and impartial. The report de
velops the fact that the public funds have
been safely kept by the Treasurer, and
that they have not been used for specula-

IN investing school funds in u. S. bonds,
the Treasurer makes an explanation
which is embraced in the Committees

From this statement, it will be seen, that
the State and County taxes in lssaquena
county, increased from . mills in 1868,
to 80 mills in 1874-exclusive OF 10
mills for Levee purposes-and to 40 mills
including the latter. In other words, the
taxes imposed Oh the people of the river
district have been increased by the radical
regime more than two thousand per
cent!
The effect has been to tax large guam
titles Of land out Of the possession OF
their owners in other words, to contis-
cate them. The Times states that
thousands of acres have been aban-
doned" to the State and to the levee corpC'
rations by the proprietors. This is
shown by the decrease in the number Of
acres on which taxes are now paid as com.
pared with the four years preceding the
reconstruction era.
The Times concludes its statement with
the following additional facts and COM
ments:
In addition to the foregoing, we pay one
cent per h. en- cotton, and fifteen cents per
acre on lands, toward liquidating old levee
debts to approximate this to an ad-avlo-
rem basis, we will refer to the amount of tax
collected from this source, and the valua-
ton of the property upon which tax was
paid in Washington county in 1873; the
valuation of such property was $2,374, 276 ;
cent. in amount of the said valuation, which
amount added to stated years ''totals," Civ, %
real total
Added to that of 1874, and W. see that
the three counties pay ten and half per cent
in amount Ofthe assessed valuation of prop
erty.
This showing does not tell the whole story;
it does not show the debts of the counties
AS evidence that we have such debt, Wash
lngton county pays three mills interest on
her bonded debt, Bolivar five mills
Now we wish it known, that we do not
prepare and publish this tax statement for
the purpose of increasing. existing discon-
tent; or that we have labored to cOniure up
a cloud without silver lining.
Our object in publishing it is to afford ac-
curate information, that reform may ensue
to which end we urge all, of whatever race
or political creed, to work; and appeal to
taxpayers not to lose heart, through true
realization of their oppressive taxes; but
to still maintain confidence in the coun
try.

In his testimony before the Congress

burg, Isaac Mosely, colored, swore:
"Any darkey that goes against his par
ty [ would be ready to take his head to
the chopping block; he ought to be
whipped every time he voted the white
peoples ticket"
That shows who uses intimidation.
And yet nobody believes that the poor
darkey originated such an idea himself
1t was put into his head by the adven-
turers, whose living depends upon ar
raging the blacks, as a race, against the

Paramount Questions

The Louisiana troubles have developed
two new issues of vital Importance to be
decided in the next Presidential election.
1st. Whether citizens not i'll the mill
tary and naval service of the government,
shall be tried by military commission at
the will of the u. S. officer in command
of the district in which they may reside,
instead of by the constitutional method of
trial by an impartial jnry.
2nd. Whether the Legislatures of the
several States shall judge of the quail
foation of their members, or whether
they shall be decided by the military
officer in command of the district where
such bodies assemble?
No graver questions can be submitted
to the American people. They involve
their right to life and liberty; and the
inviolability of their privilege of being
represented by agents of their own choice.
