THE French Free Masons have long
been divided upon the question as to
whether a belief in the "Grand Archi-
tect of the Universe should be dogma
of their order. At the recent Masonic
Convention in France, the second clause
of the constitution, which ran thus ::
Stree Masonry holds to the principle of
the existence of God and of the immor-
tality of the SOUL" was altered by an
immense majority TO Stree Masonry
holds to the principle of an absolute
freedom of conscience, and to the broth
erhood of mankind. 1t excludes no one
no account of his belief

THE Ohio State election was held on
the 9th, at which was chosen a full tick
ct of State officers, together with men,
bers of the Legislature, the latter of
whom viii elect a United States Senator
to succeed Senator Sherman, whose
term will expire in 1879. Two amend
meats to the Constitution were also
voted for, one recognizing the Ju-
dietary of the State and the
other authorizing free banking.
There were five candidates for Governor
in the field, viz: West, Republican;
Bishop, Democratic; johnson, Green
back: Bond, Workingmen's; Thomp-
son. Prohibition. A faction of the
Workingmen supported the Greenbaek
ticket. The vote in 1875 for Governor
showed Republican majority over all
Others of 1851; over the next highest,
5.444. Last fall Hayes majority over
all for President was 2,747; over the
next highest, 1916.
The result in Ohio, as estimated
from returns received up to the 18th, is
a Democratic plurality of from 2o,ooe
to -. GOO on Governor, with a majority
on Joint ballot in the Legislature
OF from 20 TO %. The Workingmen 5
ticket polled an unexpectedly large vote,
which the Republicans claim was large
" drawn from their ranks.

THE Southern Pacific Railroad of
California, which is building eastward
from the Pacific coast, has reached the
Rio Colorado, and is now engaged in
the construction of a bridge across that
river. Its line and bridge at that point
pass over the military reservation of
Fort Yuma, and the rep
resentatives of the Texas Pa
oifc Railroad Company have called
the attention of the Secretary of War to
the fact that the former road has been
located on Government land without
having secured the right of way. As
nobody except Congress has authority
to grant the right of way across a Gov
eminent reservation, the further extern
sion of the road has been interdicted,
and it is presumed that Congress will be
called upon to grant the right of way
over the Governments land.

the county, and they were
powerless to protect the officers. The
trouble originated on account OF Judge
Howard having debarred the Mexleans
from taking salt from the salt lakes
without permit. Gov. Hubbard tele-
graphed to Gen. Ord for assistance TO
reinstate the deposed officers.
GEN. MILES, in an official dispatch
dated Oct. 3, from camp near the Bear
Paw Mountains, says that his command
struck the camp of the hostile Nez
Perees on the 30th ult., capturing the
larger portion of their herd, about 600
head of horses, mules and ponies. A
severe engagement ensued, in which
two officers and q men were
killed, and four officers and
about 40 men wounded. The
names of the officers killed arc Capt.
Owen Hale and Second Lieut.. Jos. w.
Biddle, Seventh Cavalry; the wounded
officers are Capt. Miles Maylon and
Capt. E. S. Godfrey, Seventh Cavalry,
First Lieuts. G. w. Baird and Henry
Romeyn, Fifth Infantry. The Indians
lost Il killed, including Looking-glass,
Joseph's brother and three other chiefs,
and 40 wounded. Gen. Miles reports
that Joseph gave him his solemn pledge
to surrender, but instead of doing so he
had taken to the ravines with the rem
nant of his forces, where ii was impos-
sible for the soldiers to take him by as
sault without great loss of life. Their
camp was closely invested, and it was
thought they would be compelled to
surrender unless they received reinforce
ments from Sitting-Bull, with whom
Joseph was said to be in communica'
ton. Gen. Sturgis, who was in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Miles, il is though
must have Joined him not long after thu
fight.
An official dispatch from Genera
Miles to General Terry, dated a
Camp on Eagle Greek, Montana, Oct
3, brings the gratifying intelligence o
the surrender of Joseph and his band
after a severe engagement, and beini
kept under fire for three days.
The following additional particu
lars regarding Chief Joseph's surrende
were received from Fort Benton on tn
10th: Since the first bout of Ger
Miles with Joseph's band, the troop
have been holding the hostiles in a ma
row ravine, and have picked them o
from riAe-pits, losing only four me
themselves. Joseph raised the whit
flag four times, offering to surrender
he might keep his guns. Mill
demanded an unconditional su
render, and on the Ia
day Joseph raised his flag again
advanced in front of his lines, hande
his gun TO Miles and shook hands wit
him. The remainder of the commar
did the same. Forty wounded Indiar
were found in camp. The number
dead is unknown, as all were burie'
The glory of the fight rests with Mile
The intrenchments Of the Nez Perc
were ingeniously constructed. The
bravery was unsurpassed througho
the fight, and they are credited with n
merous acts of humanity to wounds
whites.

A MAss-MEErNG was held at Cooper
Institute, New York City, on the even
ing of the 10th, to endorse the Admins
tration of President Hayes. The hall
was filed to its greatest capacity. Prof.
Theo. W.D wight, of Columbia College,
presided, and Mr.. George w. Curtis
was the leading speaker. He conclud-
ed as follows: president Hayes
stands on a platform of justice,
union, national fraternity, gold
currency and civil service reform-and
we stand by him. 1t is a platform OF
one plank, wide as continent, deep as
the beating of the American heart, and
it bears the legend, 'He serves his party
best who serves his country WELL ,"

Hon. A. II. STEPHENS has written a
letter in which he says: | think Mr.
Hayes's tenure less assailable than that
of any President ever inaugurated in the
United States. The others all held by
prinaa fctcie cases. The matter of this
tenure is res adjudicata. He holds his
office by the judgment of the highest
judicial tribunal ever created in this
country. That tribunal, l think, was
constitutionally created; and though l
thought their decision wrong, yet l bow
to its authority, and think all good, law
abiding citizens should, as to every
other judicial decree observation-disclosures
dered. Considerations of "fraudn or
usurpation," therefore, in connection
with his title are now utterly out of the
question.

CHIEF JOSEPH,

wrapped in his blankets, sat up until nearly
morning, watching the progress Of the fight.
To Gen. Miles he repeated his desire to sur
render, and stated that he would carry 1t
into effect as soon as he could return to his
own camp. The day had been growing Bit
terly cold, and early in the evening storm
Of sleet and snow blew in the faces of the al
ready -fatigued men as they lay in the
trenches. Their blankets and heavy cloth
ing had been left with the wagons in the
rear. and the night passed miserably. Many
of the men, worn out by the terrific marches
and loss of sleep, lay in the rifle-pits uneon-
seious of the roar of musketry going on
about them. At an early hour in the morn
ING Gen. Miles succeeded in having two can
non. which had been delayed with the wagon
train, brought up and placed in position
commanding the guIch. One was breech-
loading French gun, throwing 4-pound
shot. which was taken on the trip to expert

CURRENT TOPICS.

IT was reported on the 9th that the
Mexican population of FL Paso County,
Texas, had risen en- masse and seized
all the civil authorities, who were placed
in Jail under strong guard. There
are only about 80 Americans in
the county, and they were
powerless to protect the officers. The
trouble originated on account OF Judge
Howard having debarred the Mexicans
from taking salt from the salt lakes
without permit. Gov. Hubbard tele-

Democratic papers are inclined to
make a noise about the removal of the
arms and ammunition in the arsenal, at
st. Louis, to Rock Island. The truth
about this matter is that the Rock Is
land arsenal was built as - arsenal for
the entire west, where ammunition ofall
kinds can be manufactured ON a large
scale. Congress, two years ago, au-
thorized the the removal of all the arms
from the st. Louis arsenal to Rock Is
land az soon as the buildings were ready
for storage. About two weeks ago the
buildings were completed, and the am
munition and arms are being removed,
under the authority of the act of Con-
gress. 1t is certainly a far better-plan
to fill the arsenals of the North, than
to send our monitors Of war for ''safe-
keeping" to the Southern States, as
Buchanan did during the last months
of his administration.

An enthusiastic mass-meeting was
held in Washington on Thursday, at
which twenty-three persons put in an
appearance. DR.. Mary Walker made a
speech in which she declared that Til
den had been fairly elected and that she
was ready to do her part in seeing that
he was inaugurated. She said the wo-
men of this county had more to expect
from Tilden than from Hayes. We
guess the doctor is correct. Mr.. Hayes
is a married man, and we are forced to
admire Mary's candor. When she de-
clares for Tilden she does not take
her position on high moral ground like
Col. Boyd, who committed suicide at
Springfield recently or like Mr.. Stanard,
who refused to be president of the Mer-
chants Exchange because some folks
insinuated that he sought the position.
Mary is too old a bird for such chaff.
She says plainly she has more to expect
from Tilden than from Hayes. We are
inclined to the belief nov that she is
the blushing maiden who won Mr.. Til
denis heart during the canvass, and who
is to marry him after he is Inaugural
ted.

The Bennett scandal.

That chief of the libertines, Bennett,
Of the N. Y. Herald, who has played
havoc with many a young lady's heart,
has at last come to grief. He has been
duly punished by Frederick May, BROTH
er of the young lady to whom Bennett
was to be married last Wednesday.
The latter had become wearied Of his
inamorata, us he has tired of many 9TH
ers, and had decided to break off the
engagement by fair or foul means.
Being unsuccessful in his attempts to
~honorably escape the meshes of matri-
mony, he resorted to dissipation as an
excuse for a dissolution of the ties ex-
listing between himself and Miss May.
Bennett called at DR.. Mays house
last Tuesday. and had a most unpleas-
ant alteration with the Doctor, in
course of which he used language which
Mr.. Frederick May, on hearing of it,
felt bound to resent. He met Bennett
in front of the Union Club House; he
carried a light whip for the purpose of
giving Bennett a public flogging. The
moment May struck Bennett, the lat
ter, without making the slightest at
tempt to ward off the blows, threw open
both his coats. as May supposed, to
draw a weapon from his pocket. See
ing this movement on the part Of Ben
nett May struck at him with his clench-
ed fist, and knocked him down on the
sidewalk and then deliberately sat
down on him for a mo,nent; but didn't
strike him while he was down. Bennett
got up, faced May and again May
knocked him down. May would not
have struck Bennett in the first instance
with his fist were it not that he believed
the latter was going to draw a revolver
on him. When Bennett had been cow
hided and knocked down twice, Heck
Ter stepped in and separated them.
May buttoned up his coat and walked
down the avenue, while Bennett was
taken away from the scene of the en-
counter by his friends.

IMPORTANT DECISION

Affecting Railroads, by the Supreme
Court.
Washington, Oct. 22.-The following
decision was rendered to-day in the
Supreme court:
Pratt & Co. VS.. the Grand Trunk
railroad-error to Circuit court of
Michigan. This was an action to re-
cover of the company damages for vio-
lation of its duty in respect to property
shipped from Liverpool to St. Louis,
and carried over its road from Mon
treal to Detroit. The goods were
ored by the company, upon their ar
rival at Detroit, III freight depot there,
and were DESTROYED by fire the next
night. The question was whether this
was good delivery to the Michigan
Central railroad, the succeeding car
rier, as claimed by defendant. The
court held that where carrier allows
goods to be deposited in such a way
without notice, the deposit of goods
amounts to a notice, and is delivery
hence the succeeding road was in charge
of the property, and defendant was en-.
titled to Judgment in his favor.
