The Grand Lodge of Free Masons, at
their recent assemblage in the City Of
New York, attested their beIiet in the ex-
istence of a Supreme Being, and rebuked
their French brethren for their blasphem-
Gus infdelity. Mr.. Stowell offered a re-
solution to the effect that, lit had c'ne to
the knowledge of the Grand Lodge, that
the Grand Orient Of France had stricken
from their constitution that part requir

Being. and this Grand Lodge, believing
that action to be contrary to the teach
ings of ancient Free Masonry, that Lodge
be refused recognition. The resolution
was unanimously passed.

Sixth Circuit-IIon. T. J. Macke". Of
Chester. was reelected.
Eighth Circuit-lIon. Thos. Thomp-
son, of Abbevillc, wee Judge Cooke re-
signed.
The selections will give general satis-
faction. Judges Presley, Hudson and
Thompson are comparatively new men,
but all of them possess character, ability
and experience. Judge Aldrich, it will
be remcmberd, was one Of oar old judges.
and was driven from the bench and
State by General Candy. His re-elec-
ton will be greeted with approval by
good citizens everywhere. The re-elec-
ton of Judges Shaw and Mackey is c
proper recognition of their services to
the State within the last few years.

Senate the other day on the silver bill,
Senator B. II. Hill, Of Georgia, uttered
the following words, which should not
only be read by every man, woman and

and posted in prominent place in every
home, that no one may fail 10 learn the
lesson they teach;
"Sir, there is but one patriotic course
for men to pursue in the high positions
of this country. Call back, you can,
the people to an honest, renewed re-
cognition Of the obligations Of contracts
and of covenants. Teach the presen.
generation, teach all generations, that
unainchiug fidelity to obligations, 6del-

fidelity to contract obligations, through
