THE SENATE.

The morning session of the Senate yes.
terday was very brisk and interesting while
it lasted, and Senators displayed more
energy and spirit than at any previous time
during the present session, giving promise
that we are to have business legislature
fully competent to look out for the wants OF
the State for the two years which will elapse
before it will again convene to exercise the
awmaking power.
Tie important business of the morning
hour was led off by Lieut.. Gov. Wakefield,
who announced the standing, Joint and
special committees of the Senate, and it is
conceded that he used consummate skill
and Judgment in his selections, and conse
quently it is hoped that the bills introduced
this winter will be uncommonly we'll scrutin-
lied and dlgested before they become laws.
Senator Castle astonished the Senate by
offerlng resolution for the appointment of
committee of five to inquire into the
charges OF mlsmanagement on the part of
the officers of the State prison, and stating
that he Was informed that the convicts in
that institution were in state bordering on
rebellion in consequence of the hope thew
have been led to entertain, by certain news
paper articles, of an amelioration of their
condition in some mysterious or inscrutable
manner. The committee was not announced,
but when it is it is to be hoped the public
will be able to get at the 'strue inwardness''
of that institution.
Senator Wheat introduced bill reducing
the compensation of all State and county Of
hcers l2R per cent, and several bills were
introduced to abate or postpone the colleo-
ton OF taxes where the delnquents were the
victims of draught, rust or grasshoppers and
did not produce the usual generous Min
nesota harvest.
joint resolution was introduced bv
Senator Mills to further the interests of in
ter-otate commerce by requesting our dele
CATION IN Congress to support the Regain
railroad bill.
Senator Page introduced two bills relating
to the dis osal Of The 100000 acres of in
ternal Improvement lands. aid the disposal
II the proceeds thereof, of which he pro-
poses to make permanent road and bridge
tdnd. 1t is estimated that the sale of thes,
lands will yield about $3, 500. 900, and il this
we're invested in a manner similar to the
general school fund it would annually pro-
duce road and bridge fund of nearly a
quarter of million of dollars. These bills,
seem to come nearer to the intention of the
act donating these lands to the State than
any proposition that has ever been brought
up for the consideration of the legislature.
The first personal explanation Of the SEES
sion was from Senator Buck, Of Winona,
and was brought about by certain scurrillous
ntterances of the Winona Republican, con
corning local temperance measure, where
IN that paper accuses him of being sly and
cunning in this matter. The Senator denies
the accusation, and anybody at all CONVEX.

handed and open-hearted Senator, KIN, We

anyone could wish.

MaSONKY AND RELIGION.

Inc opponents of Free Masonry who have
all along been insisting that it was an insti-
tuition of heathenish tendencies, calculated
subvert the cardinal principles of religion,
will do we'll to read the annual address of
Grand Master Durant on the recent action
# the Grand Orient of France in rejecting
the theory OF belief in the deity and the
immortality Of the soul as pre- requisite to
membership, and the report of the COM
nlttee on the address which is published
elsewhere this morning. The committee
Jake occasion to say that the enunciation of
'uch principle is subversive of the founda-
ion upon which Free Maso nry is builded
md conclude by Withdrawing all fraternity
from the Grand Orient, and refusing recog
olt1on to Masons who owe it allegiance until
that relation is severed. The report was
ad 'pted by the grand lodge without dis
senting voice.
1t IS not often that the doings of Masonic
bodies see the light through the medium of
the secular press. They are generally con-
tent to let their light SHINE only for those
who are within the narrow confines of the
order, conscious that they are labor,ng for
the best good of humanity. That they do
not herald their good deeds abroad is more
credltable than blameworthy, for in that
they follow out the mandates of the founder
of Christianity-"Let not your right hand
know what your left hand doeth.'' But be
cause they meet in secret the presumption
that their deeds are evil is far.fetched, and
utterly indefensible.
The Masonic fraternity needs no defense
at the hands of the GLOBE 1t is an order

full of good works. It interferes with no
mans fealty to his god, his religion, his fam
'ly or himself. It sets up no distinctive
creed save belief in an overruling provi-
dence, represented by personal deity, and a
conviction in the Immortality of the soul.
This IS, as the committee state, the founda
ton upon which Masonry is builded. Knock
this prop from beneath it, and it will lose the
wonderful cohesion that has held it together
for 80 many centuries through good and
through evil report, OUTLYING prosecutions
second only to those endured by the early
martyrs of the church. 1t embraces in its
fold Christians and Jews, rich and poor, and
all are upon an equality. Masonry is a
democratic institution in which the prince
has no greater privileges than the peasant,
rounded upon the central idea of the pre-
eminence of deity in the affairs of mankind.
10 this principle it has ever adhered, through
evil and good report, and not till the Grand
Orient of France overstopped its authority
and attempted to destroy the chief jewel Of
the craft, has there been ground for the &C.
| cusation that it was subversive of religion.
The prompt reputation of this action by
the grand bodies of the United States has
shown most cls arly that the Free Masons of
the United States have no sympathy with
such an anti Christian policy. belief in
deity and in the Immortality of the soul is
the chief cornerstone of Masonry, and will
continue to be such as long as it has an ex-
! istence on the face of the globe.

NEW 4RuY REORG4NIE4TION
BILL.
Mr. Hewitt, of New York, who never saw
an army, and probably never saw regiment
except on its march to the front few years
ago, has proposed bill for the reorganiza-
ton OF the army which he intends to engraft
upon the army appropriation bill in case Of
the failure of the Burnside bill now pending
in the Senate. It provides for reduction
of twe1.t per cent. in the force of the army,
which involves the dismissal of more than q
hundred staff officers, and that those that re-
main shall hold the uniform rank of brig
adler general. 1t is further proposed by the
bill that the army shall hereafter consist of
thirty-three regiments, eight of which are to
be cavalry, four artillery and twenty infant
ry. A battalion organization is also pro-
vlded for and it is stipulated that most of
the proposed reductions shall be made by re-
fusing to fill vacancies caused by death or
otherwise. The bill provides that all Off
GERS over 81 years of age shall be retired
The President, however, is authorized in his
until they are IS years of age. Incompetent
officers may be retired by an examining
board to be called in tue discretion of the
President, who is also commander-in- chief
Of the army, and any officer who resigns
shall be entitled to receive three years. pay
after such resignation.
1t does not appear to US that this bill
meets the requirements of the country. It
il not simply reduction of the force that is
needed; it is thorough reorganization of
the whole army. The great squad of idlers
VINO are lounging about Washington and
the several department. headquarters, draw
ing pay and sustenance from the govern
nent. must be set to work. They have thus
far failed to give any valid reasons why they
should bs retained in the service, for they
nave been mere drones 10 the hive of the
army. They reflect no credit upon the mill
5ary, for if they are not mere butterflies in
toe fashionable world, they are engaged
lobbying in the corridors of the cal :
toll, or are habitues of the saloons
"a their near vicinage. The really deserving
officers, who bear the heat and burden OF
5he day, doing duty in the field and in the
lamp, are seldom seen in their company, yet
5ney are kept from promotion by the persis-
..ence with which these fellows force them
selves to the front and insist upon plucking
Ill the fruit of honorable military service
While they have performed none of it's du-
Ties.
The telegraph has probably given but an
imperfect idea of the bill as whole, but if
We can form any idea of its scope from what
aas been sent, we are decidedly of the opin-
ION that it should not be passed. Some of
Is features may be an improvement upon
6be Burnside bill, but as whole it is vastly
Inferior to that measure. It will be a bad
rider for the appropriation bill.

THE ROBBERY THE STATE TREAS

CRY.
A decision made by Judge Simons on
Monday, calls public attention once moro to
tho great State treasury defalcation devel
oped in 1878. The suit just decided devel
oped the greatest ingratitude imaginable
and if we wished to be blunt, we might add
the most arrant dishonesty. The case is one
so unusual as to be worthy of special men,
ton.
Emil Much was State Treasurer, having
for his bondsmen Horace Thompson, M
Auerbach and Chas. Scheffer. Munich was
succeeded by bis father. in-law, VIM.
Seeger, the same parties becoming
his bondsmen. Seeger assured his bonds
men that he had counted the money and
found it all right. Subsequent developments
proved that Munich was defaulter to the
amount of over one hundred thousand dol
lars and under Mr.. Seegers watchful care
the defalcation finally arose to one hundred
and eigbty-six thonsand dollars. The enor-
nous amount of this defalcation, has not.
we believe, been made public before, the
highest figures given at the time being
$164,OOO.
Mr.. Munich, who was primarily the re-
sponsble party, begged his bondsmen to save
him from the civil and criminal prost cution
which must necessarily follow such devel-
opment. He had been helping his brcthers
and had been gradually drawn into the vor-
tex. The entire family were ready to sur
render every thing they had to the bondsmen.
to be converted, as rapidly as possible, into
cash. These arrangements we're in progress
when the editor of the GLOBE, then publish
ing another paper, called public attention to
the necessity of investigating the State treas
ury. The investigation followed which made
the robbery public, and the bondsmen came
forward and repaid the State the entire sum
without any delay.
The Munich family turned over their prop
erty to the bond@mer and the latter realized
from sales $4,000, one-third in cash and
the balance in one and two year notes. The
panic, however, compelled them t., take
back ever one-t'ird Of this property. In ad-
dition to this property, Emil Munich, Gustav
Munich, Adolph Munich, Adolph Sterile and
VIM. Seeger gave notes to the bondsmen
for $4,000. Time rolled on and
these notes were not paid. Adolph
Munich at one tue offered to nav
$4,000 to be released from his liability. and
while the bondsmen we're contemplating the
proposition it was withdrawn. Suit was
then brought against them on their notes
and they set up in defense that the notes
had been paid by the property turned over
This defense was the more aggravating from
the fact that Emil Munich had urged Charles
Scheffer not to record the dee DIS, and as Mr.
Scheffer had complied with the reoues,
advantage was taken, and some $4,000 O,
the property was sold by Mr.. Munich to in.
nocent third parties.
The decision rendered by Judge Simons
brushes aside the fimsy claim of the Muncb
family, and declares that they are holden on
the unpaid notes. 1t places the seal OF
judicial condemnation upon the LIST act Of
