COBB COUNTY GRAND LODGE.

Kennesaw on the 18th inst, with
delegates present from all lodges ex
cept Winnings. -
The hall was large and yet filled
to overlooking with delegates and
visitors. Grand Secretary Robins
son being present was requested to
preside. Grand Worthy Chief Tenn
plar Thrower was expected but he
was Suddenly called away to all in
the organization of the Grand Lodge
of Florida.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by w. A. HaIsell of Roswell
Lodge.
After calling roll and reading the
journal, the various committees re-
ported, showing the order in pros
perous condition and better prepared
10 do effective temperance work than
ever before. The only difficulty
presented was the difficulty of touch
ing the "pocket nerve"
The report Of committee on Con-
stitution and By>Laws was made the
special for two o'clock.
The temperance column question
was then discussed at some length
and on motion made the special or
der for three o'clock.
The lodge then heard reports from
the different subordinate lodges
These reports were encouraging
The complete success OF our order IS
only question of time.
The hour of twelve o'clock having
arrived the lodge adjourned for two
hours for the purpose Of hearing an
address from Col. Lester and then
to do Justice to well filled baskets OF
good things. Mr.. Lester was intro
duced by w. A. Hansell of Roswell
lodge in happy manner and made
Of the best temperance speeches we
ever heard and we hope that the day
is not far distant when Colonel, tc
use the language Of Bro llansell, in
stead of saying ego on boys, shall
say come on boys"
At two o'clock the lodge was call
ed to order and the report of com
mittee on constitution and by~laws
was taken up and with slight amend
ments, adopted.
This report provides for the elec
tion of delegates and officers semi
annually and gives each lodge on'
representative for every ten mem
beers, or fraction, in good standing.
The temperance column was thel
considered and it was decided t
continue it and the vote was mad
unanimous,
The thanks of the lodge were ten
dered Col. Lester for his able ad
dress. The brothers and sisters 0
Big Shanty lodge were also thanke'
for kindness to delegates and for us
of hall.
The lodge then passed resolu
ton urging the members Of the or
der to organize temperance praye
meetings, We hope this idea ma,
be carried out and that in private
no member may fail to petition
Throne of Grace for blessings OF
our work.
The various committees were thel
appointed. A new committee wa
appointed to take charge of this col
umn. Their labors will begin OIL
the tenth Of June.
The lodge was then closed witt
prayer by Brother $. l.. Brinkly o
Shiloh Lodge. Next session will be
held at Midway on the second Sat
urday in August.

miscalculated popular feeling and believed
that England would leave Turkey to its
fate; and after the late popular outburst
we can hardly blame the Russians
for coming once again to the same
conclusion.
When they read in the reports of
public meetings the leading states
men OF the Liberal party proclaiming,
amid deafening applause, that II is desira-
bile IN behalf Of humanity that Rus
sin should hold Constantinople; and when
the cheers increase at the sentiment
that elf the interests of England
conflict with those of humanity
then let England PERISH the Musco-
vite hastens to take these mob ora
tors at their word, because they were once
statesmen, forgetting that there may be
political buncombc for party purposes as
well in England as elsewhere, and that
an excited crowd, smarting under
tho pecuniary losses consequent on
Turkish reputation, and narrowed
by sensational accounts of butohered
women and spitted babies. cannot be taken
rs representing the sentiments of the aver
age Englishman in his calmer moments
who would rather that humanity perish
than his own country. How far the pos
session OF Constantinople by Russia Will
be considered vital to British interests Is
a question about which there will probably
he great deal of discussion before Eng
land actually declares war against her old
enemy, aud proceeds to occupy that much
coveted city by military force.
Meantime the powers OF Europe seem
likely TO be ranged as follows: Eng
land, France, Italy, and Austria in
favor of the six months armis-
tice proposed by Turkey, but not imme-
diately prepared to go to war to pre-
vent the aggressive movement of Rus
STA. They will look on, secretly
hostile aud openly suspicious until they
have read the mystery of BISMARCK. We
have not yet heard what he thinks of the
last Turkish proposal. He has made no
sign rs to what he intends to do in the face
of the threatened invasion of Bulgaria.
There would be reason to hope that If h.
decided TO join the policy Of the allied
powers even at this eleventh hour, Russia
might be able to restrain her excited pop
ulations; but there are reasons why he
may wish the Car to commit himself
against the sentiment of the rest of Eu-
rope. aud why war between Russia and
Turkey might suit his own Interior de-
signs. In that case, he would encouraG,
| Mu-covite aggression without fully show
ing Ills own hand and we shall have e
wait for further light before risking al
opiuion in regard to eventuali,ies which
are still probably hidden from the best in
formed diplomats.

The proclamation declaring the state
of South Carolina in Instruction Is
suggestive of what might have been ex-
pected had Gen. GRANT been nominated
for a third term. Elated by his success,
his confidence in military government
would probably have been exhibited on
more extended field, aud our free institu-
lions would have encountered formida-
Bile danger from which they have happily
been saved.
Let TIL good work which was achieved
in defeating the denomination OF Gen.
GRANT now be carried u step further, aud
made complete by the defeat of his candl-
date. Gen. GRANT sought to overthrow
the tradition OF the Government which
limits the office OF President to two terms.
Patriotism thwarted the attempt. He
now seeks to dictate his successor at the
point OF the bayonet No doubt II HAYES
is elected GRANT hopes to come up again
and to once more occupy the White House,
as HAYES is pledged to single term. We
trust that an ingloriJus defeat awaits the
party that resorts to military force to
maintain itsel; in power.
GRANTS third term was prevented by
the spontaneous uprising OF the people in
protest against 1t. and now let the first
term of his ally, HAYES, be prevented IN
the same way

Thus II is made clear beyond the posi-
bility of dispute that BLAINE deliberately
inutilated the bill that he read at the
Cooper Institute, just rs ne ulu the Null
1lGAN letters, IN order TO excite prejudice,
and to create the belief that wholly new
policy had been introduced by the House
which would bankrupt the Treasury IN
six months" Forgery is II decent crime
compared with low and despicabe fraud
like this, which ought to drive the perpe-
TRAITOR from all respectable society and
send him TO the peuifputiarV.
II has been established first, that the
bill in question was never reported from
the judiciary Committee at all, or con-
sdered in the House. Secondly, that
BLAINE purposely misrepresented its whole
substance, and Intentionally cut out its
vital part, TO deceive the audience at the
| Cooper Institute and to make the public
believe what he knew to be false, when he
tried TO pass of his base ilnposture.

Under NoRTON's management the boundaries

tricts have majorities exceeding 1000 each, and
the fourth a majority OF over 1900, while two
Republicans get into Congress by majority OF
about 40 each. SIX 10y an average Of about 1900
