THE ORDER OF THE AMERICAN UNION
MEETING OF THE "sENATE"-sHAB-
BY TREATMENT OF THE NEw YORK
"LEGIsLATURE"-ANE EFFORT TO COB
BILE THE ORGANIZATION IN THE IN
TEREsT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
WASHINGTON, April 80, 1873.
The so-called "Senate" of the politico-
religious order of the American Union
will hold its annual meeting in this city
tomorrow, at noon, at the Metropolitan
Hotel, under the auspices of A. Worth
Spates, of Baltimore, Vice President, and
Joseph l.. Kilgore, Of Wilmington, Del,
Secretary. These gentlemen are the di-
recting spirits of this once active but
now almost defunct organization. Mr..
Spates says that they expect about twen-
ty-tive delegates from the West to be in
attendance, so that with those who
may be expected from the East
ern States perhaps forty all told
will be present. AT recent special
meeting of the "Senate" at Bridgeport,
Conn, the officers caused it to be tele-
graphed to the New York papers that
the Order numbered in the United States
nearly two hundred thousand. Those in
this city who know the facts say that the
Order since the date of its organization
about seven years ago has never initiat-
ed, all told, 10000. There is to be an
election to morrow of officers for the
coming year.
1t is rumored that the present Off
have failed to notify the members OF the
"Senate" from New York OF this meeting,
their intention being to cut off the 81 Leg-
islature" of the Order from that State,
and, after having captured the machinery
OF the fraternity, to reorganize it in the
Empire State. 1t is said that at recent
special meeting of the Senate" In this
city abouS $1,000 was pledged-about
$1,000 of it from Ohio-for the purpose OF
circulating an address to the American
people on the various questions involved
in the general discussion between the re-
igious sects. Such an address is said to
have been prepared by Mr.. Edwin
Cowles, editor of the Cleveland Ledde,
and President of the Senate. 1t has been
privately circulated with printed instruc.
tions in red ink TO ali the mem bers not t.
allow any one other than known mem.
bers of the Order to read it.
The exclusion of the New York mem
bers Is said to be due to the fact that they
have been too independent in theil
opinions and notions to suit certain Off
clals of the Order, who are desirous OF
making political machine of it in the
interest of the republican party A hkel,
row is looked for when this double-deaf
ing is revealed, as the Order is made III
of all political parties. A gentleman con
versant with the intrigues fthe wirepu
lers in the fraternity says tonight that
the friends of honest dealings VIII make
a fight against the clique, for there are il,
the Senate doctors of divinity, editors OF
leading papers and goodly number o.
new Senators ofthe democratic faith som,
of them from "Old Kentucky" who beinl
ofthe ':reform" school ofpolitics, will no
like so soon upon their first appearance,
III the Order to find themselves inveiglet
into political cabal.
