The Cur-ier claimed, lately, that
seventy-five colored men had come
up to this place on Saturday on the
steamer Maggie Smith, for the pur-
pose of voting this fall, and that the
town will soon be known as "Nigger-
town" The nervy little Evening
Tribune, by investigation, found that
the at time mentioned there were not
five passengers of either color on
board. This Broddingnag lie of the
Crr-ier demands respect.
NEW HALL AND LODGES.
1t was our pleasure to visit the
place of meeting of the two Lodges
of G. u O. of O. F. lately. At an
expense of some three hundred or
more dollars they have fitted up a
lodge room and attending suite of
rooms that is worthy of the most ex-
travagant praise. 1t is papered with
delicate blue, stationed, elegantly
adorned and ornamented with the in
signiA of the Order The floor is COW
cred with an elegant Brussels carpet,
with mating on the outer edges.
Light is furnished by two large chan
deliers and twelve gas jets. 1t is a
thing of beauty Even the stall where
the goat is kept is nicely arranged for
that animals comfort. The brethren
seem to love their lodge room, and
well they may, for it is little palace.
The Order intends to organize State
Grand Lodge on the 10th of Septem-
Der. Delegates have already been
selected. From Vanderburgh, 1,702,
the following: p. Cooper, Chas. Bur.
rows, w. III Beecher; from Pride of
Hope, 1872, A. G. Horn, w. N. Cur
ry and d. Rouse. The Order should
by all means hold their session in this
city and in this excellent Hall. On
behalf of the brethren, we invite you.
The Masons are still in the ring, and
we suppose are arranging for their
coming Grand Lodge.
The X. of NJ w. are alive, and
kicking with the strength of sturdy
youDster.
THE U. OF F. GRAND LODGE,
is in session now. The ses-
sion was opened Monday II, in regu-
lar form by the Grand Master Charles
Asbery, all the officers were present.
They were visited by Elk. n. ID. D.
James L. Amos of Kentucky. 1t is
conceded by all that never was a ses-
sion that promised to do the work that
this will. Every one knows what
ought to be done, and have gone to
work with will. We predict that
the order will be given an impetus in
this State that will be of lasting bene-
fit. At this writing DIR. T. n. Wat
son one of the leading lights of the
order is offering constitution for
subordinate lodges will be one of the
! most important events of the session
many other reforms are expected.
We heard little canvassing for office
and as yet no rings offensive, defen.
sive or grab ensive have been formed

lowing names: Ed f. Horn, Evans.
