New York, Oct e.-The ceremony
of laying the corner stone of the ODE.
lisk, at Central Park, this p. NJ, was
witnessed by thousands Of spectators.
The chief feature was the Masonic pro
cession, which formed in front of the
Temple on Sixth avenue.
In the line were all the commander
les of knights Templar in this city,
and communicates from Jersey City
and Newark, aud Masonic lodges of
New York, Kings, Queens and Rich
mond counties. Neither slaves nos
banners were carried by the lodges.
The officers and past masters wore jew
els, and the marshals carried batons,
while the members were dressed in
dark clothing, high black hats, white
gloves and aprons. The procession
was reviewed by Grand Master Jesse
d. Anthony and officers of the Grand
Lodge, Apollo Commandery acting as
escort, When the head of the column
reached the entrance of the Park at
Eighty5Second street it halted with
open ranks facing inward.
The Grand Lodge and Anglo Saxon
Lodge passed between the lines aud
proceeded to the site of the obclisk,
escorted by the Grand Marshal and
staff. Following the Grand Lodge
came District Deputy Grand Masters,
and aftertt masters and wardens of
lodges. The marshiils then assumed
command of their lodges and the ranks
closed. The column, beginning at the
head, massed around the base of the
obelisk. The Grand Masters and grand
officers occupied a platform supported
by the masters and wardens of the
lodges. The knights Templars were
masscd on the west side and lodges on
the north and east sides, leaving the
south side for visitors.
The stone was then placed in posi-
ton by the Grand Master, with cere-
monies according 10 the Masonic ritual.
The procession arrived at the foot of
the knoll, where the obelisk is to be
erected, at about 4 o'clock, and about
half-past the ceremonies were com
menced by Grand Marshal Anthony.
Previous to this the stone, which was
suspended by iron chains to a derrick,
was swung into position. The cere-
monies, which were remarkable for
their simplicity, were participated in
by the Deputy Grand Master L. L. Sim
mons, Grand Stewart r. L. Prime, and
Assistant Grand Junior Warden, T..
Gates.
After which the Grand Marshal, L.
L. Gaul, presented Lieut. Commander
Gorringe to the Grand Marshal, who,
after compIimcnting him on the near
completion of his arluous labors, pre-
scented to him a silvertrowel and other
Masonic implements used IN laying the
stone. They are iiclosed in a neat,
black walnut box. Grand Master
Anthony then proceeded TO deliver his
address

HOW II is MADE AVAILABLE by THE
AGENT IN LOUISIANA.

There appears to be a widespread
misrepresentation as to the manner in
which the Peabody Educational Fund
is distributed, and the present relations
of the State to the trustees ofthe fund.
Mr.. Peabody donated, 1867, 81 ,000,-
900, which amount was afterwards in
creased 10 S3,000,09o, for the purpose
of establishing free public schools in
the Southern States, and the money
was invested in u. S. and State bonds,
and DR.. Sears, of Staunton, Va, APP
pointed general agent for the Southern
States. r.. NJ Lusher was, while Su-
perintendent of Education, in 1868,
appointed the Peabody agent for this
State, The first Peabody normal school
was established in that year.
Louisiana then received $4,000 per
annnm from the fund, which was dis
tributed according to plan laid out
by the general agent. Where there
was free school OF 100 or 200 pupils,
and the town or parish furnished thee
tifths of the amount necessary to main
tain it for ten months of the year, the
balance was derived from the Peabody
fund. In this manner aid was extended
to schools in Baton Rouge, Natchito-
ches, Homer, Claiborne parish, Farm
erville, Union, Bastropin Morehouse,

REPUBLICAN DECENTRALIZATION AND ITS.
cAUsEs-THE REAL AND GREAT ISSUE.


{Brom our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2, 1880.
1t really looks as though the STAN
ipede of thcrepublicans had commenced.
All their manufactured courage and
pluck has aoozcd ont and they are to
day as badly demoralized as enthcy
first heard of lHancocks nomination.
OF course Maine has had something to
do with this result. Gen. Hancock {
uneqnivocal letter on Southern claims
has bereft dishonest alarlnists of one
Of their most effective spooks, and
Governor Hendricks emphasis of the
really greatest issue of this campaign
has, to all appearances, made solid the
deciding October state.
Your correspondent to be sure is
only correspondent, and it does not
become him to have opinions like the
Olympian oracular Editor. But ! will
make myself heard, sometimes, if not
understood, and whatiI wish to remark
now is that it ALWAYS seemed to me a
great waste of energy to laboriously
dig mp and sift to the winds the mole
Iihills of Credit obiicr and DeGolycr
thefts while the mountainous excres-
cence Of the Presidential steal is charged
with dynamite to our hand. j know
Mr.. Garfield personally; have studied
him politically, j believe he was guilty
in the Credit Mobilier and DeGolyer
business. i might be able to pardon
him for these thefts; the thief on the
cross was pardoned; doubtless Mr.. Gar
field has as bitterly atoned for them as
did Barabbas for his sins. But the Ju-
tlas Iscariot that betrayed popular suf-
frage with kiss; that pnt to an ignoble
death the cor popuI Of the United
States; that blasphcmed the spirit of
liberty in the holy centenary of its
birth! Can there be in time or eternity
adequate punishment for such as he?
If the republican party had put up
their purest and most exalted name, a
candidate who was at the veritable
North Pole, instead of in Louisiana,
and of the Electoral Commission, when
of the sacred will of the people "a
damned defeat was made The still
must have been beaten on that issue,
than which in all the wonderful history
of the world, there has been none
greater, palmer, or more vital.

The Cotton WORN, Conquered.
TN. Y. Cotton.l

PRaF. RILEY expresses the utmost
confidence that hencelorth planters
will be able to defy both cotton and
boil worms. Planters who poisoned
early and inteligently have saved a
full crop, amid utter destruction by
the worm Of imprisoned fields all
around them. The commission have
tested nearly five tons of indigenous
plants in the hope Of finding a better
and safer remedy than Paris green
but only find one, the pyrethrum, Of
any practical value. They have re-
dnced the cost ofpoisens 10 onelfourth
of it's former expense by introducing
London purple as a substitute for
Paris green. While there is room
for still further experiment, Prof.
Riley said, the other day, at the st.
Louis Cotton Exchange, "the intclli-
gent planter will hereafter not fear
the worm, it being virtually con
iquered, and thus one iofthe most
serious obstacles to profitable cotton

Of the balt is removed.p

Acklcn's friends, but spoke earnestly
and often eloquently, and was loudly

Don. Gallery, Esq, one of the speak
ers assigned TO orr district by the State
Central Committee, then addressed the
audience He founded his remarks on
the poetic sentiment
"Ortler is Heavens first law"
lie said order was also the first law of
all hnman Organizations, religions, so
cial and political. IIe said if Mr.. Ack-
lens proposal for the selection of can

his and Gen. Bilin's friends, were
adopted, such selection wonld be an
infinitely greater usurpation of power
than any which Mr.. Aclilen had com

ating convention, and that was the con-
gvention itself and that when any dele
gates abandoned that tribunal theyput
themselves out ofsconrt, and left the
tribunal power and right and duty to
render Judgment BY default. lie said
when he was mere STRIPPING he was
told there was only one place in the
United States where at every election
none but democratic votes were polled,
and that was the parish of Calcasieu.
He said that no democrat in this dis
trict could vote the democratic ticket
next November, unless that ticket bore
the names Of Hancock and Billiu. Mr..
Gallery fully sustained his high rcpnta-
ton as an orator, and was vellemently
applauded.
We have no space left to say what
we desire to say with reference to the
duty of the Calcasiea democracy on
this congressional question. Certainly,
while grave responsibility for this
unfortunate disscnsion rests on Mr..
Acklen, he has shifted a scarcely less
heavy responsibility on the shoulders
of those gentlemen who nominate
him at Morgan City, by publicly de-
claring that he will leave the field to
Gen. Billiu if majority Of those
gentlemen willrcquost linn to resign
his nomination. If those gentlemen
fail to make that request, and to make
it promptly, and g. 3. lDarrall is cleo
ted to Congress from this district,
when the passions and excitement of
the present campaign have passed
away, We do not see how they can fail
to feel that they have sacrificed their
party to personal preference, and
have reversed the democratic motto,
"Principles, not men"
For the honor of the Third District
and especially for the honor of the
grand old historic parish Of Calcasieu,
we hope they will realize at once the
vital necessity of taking Mr.. Acklen
at his word; and We believe be will
thank them for TINS rescuing him
from disagrceable and unfortunate
position, and for doing him an i'm
tportant and valuable service. They
will thus testify their regard forihin,
and their devotion to the democratic
party, and we have strong hopes that
they will recognize the propricty and
the Importance of tliis action.

PROHIBITION EXISTS ALL OVER
THE STATE.
1.-THE New SOUTH

As absolute prohibition law, (nod-
fled only as to manner of suspcnding
it, is to be found in the New Code of
Mississippi, as ever existed in Maine or
elsewhere.
1t is a great mistake to claim, as
many in favor of the whisky traffic do,
that those opposed to that traffic are
seeking to deprive others of their
rights. BY law they have no rights
till the voters of a majority of a town
or district confer right. The sale
of liquors in less quantity than pint
is looked upon with so much suspicion
and distrust. by the law of the State,
that it requires direct expression
from majority of legal voters in the
Supervisors district, or in any incor-
iporated town or city, to suspend, ,or
to break the force Of the universal
prohibitory law of the State. And
even then so cautious in the iiaw--so
fearful of the monstrons lion ofiniqui-
lily which is unclaimed by that ma
jority vote, that the suspension is
limited TO one year, or during good
behavior. The law itself, not the
people, takes away the right to sell,
so that in orderto proceed again the
people must again pray or petition
another suspension of the law in the
interests of saloons. Is it not
really wonderful that the cry,of taking
away of legal rights is raised by those
who really by the straight forward
operation of law have absolutely no
legal rightsin this particular, except
the right of petition for the suspen-
sion of law for while in their
favor?
