A New Lodge of odd-Fellovs.

A new lodge of Independent Order of Odd.
Fellows, which starts out under most favor.
able auspices will be instituted at the Sew
enth-street hall this evening. A charter was
granted by the grand lodge last week, and the
new body will be known as the Golden Rule
lodge, No. 81. This will make fifteen lodges
now iu prosperous existence in the city. The
new lodge will start cot with seventeen
charter members and a largo number of appli.
cations for membership on file. About half OF
the charter members have withdrawal cards
from lodges IN various states, and this fact, ii
Is expected, will attract to its membership
gentlemen coming to the District from these
states, and thereby make the lodge in one
sense u national body. The officers of tho
grand lodge will preside over the ceremony o
bringing the infant lodge into the world to
night.

The Denver TriJune's correspondent tele.
graphs to that paper that tho Ute commission
is having an uncomfortable time of it at Lo.
Pinos The baggage of the commission fai led
to arrive for some days after til hey got to Los
Pinos, and the members were slowed away at
night much after the fashion of prairie dogs
the buildings Mt tho agency being very poor
II is predicted that the negotiations will con.
tinue much longer than is now anticipated
The delay in passing the Ute bill will seri-
ously embarrass the commission, as the mem.
bers may bo obliged to defer final action until
next spring, as the winter comes early in that
region, and supplies cannot bo got in nor any
movements undertaken after October /. The
labors OF tho commission will DO very great
and can hardly be understood and appreciated
by persons unacquaintOd with the country.

the final and supreme board of equalization,
did not even consider the subject at all
1t was not brought to their attention by the
Comptroller General who, 1T would seem,
was the proper official to do SO, aud no
member of either house appears tc have
thought about it. 1t is not too late now
for the General Assembly, if it does meet
again, to take up this question and remedy
the grave injustice which the uEequalized
assessment works in the State. The first
collection oftaxcs does not take place until
the first Of May and there is plenty of time
for the County Auditors to correct their
real estate assessments, when so instructed
by the Legislature.
1t need not be apprehended that the total
value Of real estate will be reduced by q
proper system of equalization. Far from
it; the effect will be very large increase
in the assessed value of real estate, and
consequently a largely increased revenue
from the taxes, or, still better, greatly re-
duced rate of taxation.-A TAXPAYER,
IN Columbia Register.

THE LIEN LAW Nor DIsTURBED.-The
Legislature, at its las. session, passed Bill
repeating Section 4, Chapter CXN of the
General Statutes, and some have thought
without looking into the matter, that the lien
law had been disturbed. The Section allu-
ded to is on page $40 of the General Stat
utes, aud reads as follows "Every person
or persons who shall mortgage the same
goods or chattels second time, a former
mortgage being in force and not discharged,
shall have no power or liberty of rcdcmp-
tion in equity or otherwise" Section was
intended to take away any right of redemp-
tion from any person who should be guilty
Of giving second lien on property to one
party where it had already been mortgaged
to another. The Section really amounted
to nothing, as very few persons Of the class
who would be rascally enough to give Sec
ond mortgage on property knew of its exis-
tencc, and if they did, few, if any, could re-
deem property twice mortgagcd. The re.
pcaliug of Section 4, Chapter CNX, there
fore, hurts nobody, as better laws exist that
give more adequate punishment to those
disposed to commit frauds against any who
may be willing to do them service.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT WHICH NEEDS
ATTENTION.

VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT WHICH NEEDS
ATTENTION.
Should the Legislature be reconvcncd it
is to be hoped they will not adjourn before
taking action upon the equalization of real
estate.
The State Board do not appear to have
bestowed much time or thought upon this
subject They made few unimportant
changes in the assessments reported by the
County Boards of Equalization and then
adjourned, leaving inequalities Of so grave
u character as to render any taxation upon
lands, as now assessed, altogether unequal
aud unjust.
Abbcvillc, with some Of the
best lands in the State, is rated at 81 cents
per acre lower than Grccnvillc, only IS cts.
higher than Darlington, and only A cents
higher than Sumter. Land with buildings
in Abbcvillc is assessed at II cents per acre
less thaa Grecnvie, only 40 cents higher
than Darlington, and actually ! l cents per
acre lower than the comparatively poor
lands of Sumter. Charleston County with
its immensely rich truck farms and its price
less phosphate beds, averages only Sl.9i
per acrc-lcSs than half the assessed value
of lands in Grccnvic. 81 60 less than lands
in Abbcvilc and Sl25 less than in Sum-
ter
Lands in Clarendon arc assessed at less
than half the value of lands in Sumter, di-
vidcd by an imaginary line and having the
same general character and productivencss;
81 30 per acre less than lands in Darlington
and about one.third the assessment Of lands

TO FATHER RYAN,
AFTER READING HIS voLuaxE OF POEM

Land Of the South, where Nature smiles,
And perfumes, waiting from the isles
OF tropic seas, spread thro' the air
And leave their grateful incense there;
Where fields all robed in heecy white,
And forests green the eye delight;
Thou must eutwine another wreath,
Fresh gathered from thy fowcry heath.
OF hast thou dccked the statesrans broy
poet claims thy laurals now;
Give him rich nnd fadeess crown,
And gild his nsme with bright renowu.
Thou poet, priest, whose faith sublime
Has leaped the realms Of space and time,
Whose spirit in its lofty fight
Has surely seen the Heavenly light
And revelled where the cherubim
Sing anthems round the throne Of Him
Whose gifted child and priest thou art
We hail the ! For thy words impart
Sweet solace to the wounded breast,
With tears and sorrows sore oppressed.
When thou art sad, and pillows roll
Across the pathway Of thy soul,
How soft the music Of thy Tyre!
But when the touch Of hallowed fire
Sweeps boldly DER the tuneful strings,
How truly grand the music rings
We mount with the ascending notes
Until the soul in ether floats
And leaves behind the lesser lights
That pale i'll those cmpyrcan heights.
These grsndcr strains the carth's dull car
Is not refined enough to hear;
But there's chord within the soul
That vibra.cs to the hymnal roll
The spirit 1.-the can catch the sound,
Tho deepest silence reigns around
Farewell, sweet poet may thy life
Pass smoothly down the yerdant slope,
Nor outword woe nor inward strife
Impair thy faith or blight thy hope.
And when Almighty God's command
Shall call thee to that Better Land,
May thy tossed spirit wing its fight
To realms of never fading light.
