The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows.

VIcKsBURG, July %, 1875.
Dear Clarion: The Grand Lodge and
Grand Encampment of the independent
| Order of Odd Fl llows held their annual
session in this city this week. | had pre-
pared full report for your columns, but
the pressure upon your space just now
on matters of more immediate interest to
the State, reminds me of the necessity to
condense. Both bodies were wed attended,
and the deliberations throughout were har-
mOniOus and pleasant. Grand Master Van
Eaton and Grand Patriarch d. z. Black pre-
sided with dignity and ability in the Grand
Bodies. The latter was elected to preside
over the Grand Lodge for the ensuing year,
and will prove to be vigilant and efficient
Grand Master. Our young townsman, Robt
l.. Saunders, was elected Deputy Grand
Master, and will undoubtedly be the next
Grand Master. He is deservedly very pop-
ular in the Grand Lodge. Past Grand Mas
ter Barrows was unanimously reelected to
the Office of Grand Representative of the
Grand Lodge of the United States for the
term of two years; and Grand Guardian
Samuel French was reappointed to the Office
he has for several years most acceptably
filled. The following is a complete list of
the Grand Officers elected, and the Standing
Committees appointed:

The most important item OF legislation
was the adoption, by unanimous vote, of
the report of special committee appointed
by the last Grand Lodge, proposing plan
| upon which the financial operations of the
Grand Lodge can be conducted upon self
sustaining basis. The plan proposes re-
duction in Grand Secretary's salary and a
Ill anu THAT the per
centage on receipts of Subordinate Lodges
be abolished, and in lieu thereof that the
Lodge pay a per capita tax of fifty cents on
each member per term, or one dollar per
year, and that the actual and necessary ex-
penses CT delegates be paid by the Lodges
they represent, instead of from the Grand
Lodge treasury. The necessary constitu-
tional amendments to pat this plan into
effect win be submitted to the Lodges for
| final action next year.
\ grand excursion on the steamer Qua
chta Belle, from O'Clock last night until G
o'clock this morning. given by the Odd
Fellows OF Vicksburg to their visitors, was
| greatly enjoyed by all. A string band and
a good supper were provided. and the young
people kept the fiddlers at work until the
boat returned TO the landing.
/ have been so occupied with 1. o. o. F.
affairs that / have had but little time for
inquiries in matters political. But Warren
county may be set down for majority for
the anti Radical ticket. If Kinds will do
her duty. this district can certainly elect q
Congressman and District Attorney.
| l send you the names OF twenty additional
subscribers to The CLARION.
Yours. LOGAN.
