A REPLY TO Z. d. W.

NEW YORK, May 90, 1875.
To THE EDITOR OF TIE HERALD:-
In your valuable paper OF this date | notice a
communication over the initials e. D. W. III
which ne most ungenerously and dercely assalls
old and established 0rder, that Of Free
masonry, and OF when 1t Is evident TO the initi-
aied That he knows less than nothing, and Is
therefore totally incompe tent TO discuss its merits
or dement's. Your correspondent mentions the
names OF few great and tliustrious men WAC,
Ike himself, have never received the eight OF the
Ordern but he falls 10 call 10 mlnd such men as
George WASHINGTON, Anurew Jackson, Henry
Clay, John .. Calhoun, Governor Livingston, CHAN.
ccllor WalworJh, and most OF others OF greater
or less note OF the past and present century, VINO
have earnestly espouseG the cause OF the ''4ystic
Tie ana VINO occupied the highest positions and
were notable Tor their zeal IN the interests OF
FreemasoGry, whose lives were ''SanS peur e. sans
reprOche.O
Masonry regards no man more for his worldly
wealth, position or advantages, and 1t Is an
especial tenet OF the ORDER that In the obligations
taken there IL nothing therein contained that will
conflict with the duty man owes 20 his God To his
country, TO society, TO MS family or to his moral,
charitable order, founded upon principles Of right
justice and moderation, and has for many cen.
turtles nourshed III all parts OF the habtabo
globe, ana mas numbered among its stanchest adj
herents the greatest and most learned men OF
ancent and modern times.
..E. ID. W. asks II Freemasonry IS a religious
organization? can only answer that, Tor all pur-
poses OF this life and for preparation tor the lie
10 come, a strict observance OF all the tenets or
Freemasonry would, Tor me, insure 3 calm and
peaceful exit from this world. ana should Do
confident IN securing everlasting lie in .that
house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens

weeu, INTO the matter with some degree OF prom
inence.
IL appears that body was found in the Niagara
who had been taken 70 Fort Niagara and imprls-
oned by the Masons and whom, IL was alleged,
they had alterward cast over the Falls.
TnlS oody was oisngureu beyond recognition;
but 10 answered the purpose OF stirring up a
vast political excitement in this State during the
election OF thar year, aud Of creating the anti
Masonic party, when mad aiterNard great
political influence. rnurlow Weed, on beng
asked II he believed the body discovered 10 be
that or Morgan, Is said 10 have replied that it
was "a good enough Morgan until alter cleo
tion.n
And 1t Is precisely this speech which has never
since been explained.
lfTnurlow Weed knew that this was the body
OF Morgan, be should certainly have informed the
public long ago OF the facts IN his possession, and
nave done his snare toward calculating this hor-
rlble mystery.
II lie knew that II was not Morgan then he
must have known either where Morgan was or
whose was the body found-ln either OF W1ich
cases IL was certainly his place to nave told what
he knew.
Altogether 1t seems to me- sir that Mr.. Thur
lowWeed might appropriately devote a little por-
ton OF his leisure, la his declining years. TO clear
ing up, II practicable, this horrible transaction,
For while | am altogether IN sympathy with
the anti-Masonc ideas which he held in those
days, conceive ana respectfully submit that the
welfare OF this country and people requires the
propagatlng as wen as the holding or Sucn IDEAS,
and that now as much as IN the days of Morgan.
And while it is conceded that this secret society
had IN that early day OF its American existence
suflcient power TO procure the preparation or
such crime and the evasion OF all punishment
therefor think that we may reasonably assume
that the institution Is not, ana never has Deen,
calculated to benefit our present social and pollt
Cal systems.
shan feel greatly pleased II the HERALD will
consider TINS subject in the light OF its relation TO
tue puoHc welfare as well as merely IN tnat OF lis
statistical development. Yours respectfully,
JOHN HINTON CARVER

General Forrest, in note to the committee IN
charge OF the ceremonies at the National Gene
terry next Monday, accepting the invitation 70
participate, says:-"I appreciate and am In full
sympathy with the spirit OF manly friendship
and reconciliation which has prompted the recent

often as foemen upon the field OF battle, and SIN
cerely trust that the time is not far In the future
wnen the soldiers OF the late war will cease 70

were badly scorched, and while engaged
in this work Mr.. Stevens himself was con-
siderably burned about the face aud arms.
The firomen were soon at hand, but the
flames, blown by n south wind directly
toward the house, had made such progress
that il was impossible to save even the
clothing and furniture, except what was in
the front rooms. A fine piano was remoy.
ed from the parlor, singularly enough,
without injury, but in the matter of cloth.
ing nearly everything OF value was lost.
Tho house itself was reduced TO ashes. In
the meantime the buildings OF Mr.. Joy
and Mrs. Allen on either side, bad caught
fro in the rear, and the removal OF their
contents became a matter Of necessity. In
Mr.. joys house lay the corpse of his daugh.
ter, who was TO he buried the following af-
ternoon. BY the kindness Of Mr.. Charles
S. Prouly, the body Of the deceased was
removed 10 his residence, where The funer-
al services were held at the time appointed.
Most of Mr.. joys goods were saved from
the house, but in the barn we're quantity
of hay and other articles which were de-
stroyed. Mrs. Aliens goods were also
mostly saved by removal, as were those Of
Mrs. w, C. Perry and Mr.. Lewis Con-
verse, who lived in the same house. Mr.
Charles BLY,, who occupied rooms in the
| basement of Mr.. Sievens's house, lost
about everything be had, and was not in
sured. The fire engines labored at a disad-
vantage in not having a sufficient supply
OF water at hand, and the work Of destruc-
ton might have spread further had not Es-
tey's steamer put in a helping hand and
drawn on MILESTONE brook for supply.
| The flames were subdued before either
| Mr.. joys or Mrs. Aliens house were en-
tirely in ruins. The barn of Mr.. Charles
S. Prouty took fire, but was not seriously
damaged. Some bruises were sustained
in the work and excitement of tue occa-
sion, and in pushing over a chimney sew
eral firemen escaped being buried in the
ruins only by The narrowest chance. The
| property destroyed was partially insured
through the agency of b. r. JENNIE. Mr.
Stevens's total loss is about SO, 900; insured
in the VI. Mutual for S4,7G5; in the Cham.
plain of Burlington for 81 800 in the Wind
sur County Mutual for 81, 100; in the Ger.

SMALL PROFITS AHDQUIcK SALEs.-The
experience of Jordan, Marsh IL Co., the
great Boston dry goods house, in selling
out the stock of goods slightly damaged by
the late fire in their place, strikingly shows
that all merchants have got TO do do to COM
mand a rushing trade is to put down their
prices. The announcement was made that
the store would be open for the sale of the
damaged goods at special rates at eight
o'clock Wednesday morning, and long be-
fore that hour the street was actually block
AIDED with expeetant purchasers. The rush
continued all through the morning until
the immense store was literally packed,
and over 100 extra statesmen, in addition TO
the regular force, were found utterly unable
to attend to the customers, while force of
fifteen men doing up bundles were half an
hour behind the demands on them. The
crowd continued to increase till IL O'Clock,
when, for the first time in their experience
the firm was compelled TO close their doors
in order to get time 10 attend 10 the Gus
toners already inside. The doors were re-
opened at noon, when similar state OF
things again took place. Such case as
this shows that in spite of hard times the
public Is eager TO purchase whenever pric-
es are p ut down.

FUTILE & Goa recent number of the
American St0tiOheT, contains an extended
and interesting notice Of the well-known
house of futile & Co., of Rutland, station
ers, bookbinders, and printers. The FIRM
consists at present of Geo. A. Tuttle and
his sons, Harley C. futile and Egbert G.
futile. Mr.. G. A. futile, at the age of "a,
went TO Rutland, and took charge Of the
business and mechanical department of the
Rutland Weekly Herald, which position
he held until 1850, when he withdrew from
that concern, and started general job
printing office, book store, and bindery.
In 1856, Mr.. futile purchased the Herald,
with which he was connected until 1871.
Since then, the paper has been transferred
TO the Herald Association" while futile
& Co. devote themselves TO their business
of book binding, and publishing, job print
ing, and jobbing and retailing of school
books, stationery, all kinds Of papers, and
the thousand and one things in the line
of first class house like this. We are able,
from our own observation, 10 confirm what
the Stdtioner says Of the completeness and
efficiency Of the Messrs. futile Il Co.'s es-
adjustment. .
