State Lodge Of knights Of Pythias viii com.
mence ut Berkeley SPRING, Morgan county.
The order was tirst introduced into this State
at Mountain CRY In 1869, and was then In It's
infancy, struggling for foothold among the
older and firmly established societies. but
the peculiar excellence Of its institutions and
the inherent worth Of It's fundamental pFin-
ciples, were strong recommendations in its
favor, and from an insignificant beginning It
now ranks with the older and more preten-
tIous orders in the State, and Is rapidly be-
coming one Of the important secret societies
not only in this State, but throughout the
world. 1t has been. annually rauifying and
becoming more important until It Is now
considered only inferior in membership TO
the Odd Fellows
The Grand Lodge Of West Virginia, as con
stituted at present is composed Of about
eighteen lodges scattered through the Statera
fair proportion coming from this city. The
last annual report shows membership oil
over T00 and It is expected that the report
for this year will swell that number to 1000.

WASuINGTnN Norob 90

Report Of Proceedings of the Sen
ate in Extraordinary Session.
WAsHINGToN, March %.
Mr.. Beck briefly 'ridiculed the Re>
! publicans for nominating Mr.. Rid~
dleberger and attacked Mr.. johnson,
Republican candidate for chief
clerk, who, he said, had in 1878 is
sued circular asking contributions
/ to the Republican campaign fund, in
which it was declared that if the
Democrats obtained control of the
Senate and House they would
attempt to expel the President and
pay rebel claims. Every charge
made by that gentleman had been
proven absolutely false.
Mr.. Mcmillan defended Mr. Johnson,
asserting that hewas an honorable man
and that the charges made against
him had been proven false and had
been abandoned. Mr.. Kellogg, re-
plying to the animadversions of Mr.
Jonas on the course of Senator
Hampton in voting in Kellogg behalf
at the last session, said Mr.. Jonas
refused to be comforted because he
had not been able to unseat him. He
thought his colleague would
have stated when he had the
floor that the debt of
Louisiana had been repudiated by
the so-called carpet-bagger element,
and he would have gladly met that
issue. No more rascally an act had
ever been perpetrated than that per-
petrated by the Democratic party in
regard to the debt of that State.
Mr. Jonas, replying, said his col
Ieasue had at last sought the oppor-
tunlty to bring forth all the malice,
all the olle, and all the vituperation
which he had long held in his sonl
against the people whom he claimed
to represent. AS to the debt oues-
tion, he asserted that the debt of the
State had been largely increased
during the administration of Covers
nor Kellogg.
Mr.. Kellogg denied this state
! ment. and asserted that during his
administration he had not approved
a bill authorizing the issue of one
dollar of bonds or warrants.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Kellogg's
remarks Mr.. Dawes, trusting his
Democratic friends would dispose of
the question tomorrow, moved to
adjourn. which motion was, at 6
O'Clock, agreed to.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30.--The

with the following note: "These
Virginia flowers, from the ladies of
Alexandria, are presented to Senator
Hill of Georgia, as feeble testi,
monial on their part of their admira-
ton of the brilliant manner in which
he recently exposed the corrupt bar
gain made by the Senator from Vir-
ginia on the one part and the Re

the White House, nor is it's voyge in
quest of Federal spoiIs. 1t is simply
bound to the Georgia Senator, be-
cause he has anchored himself in the
hearts of true Virginisns everywhere
by the timely and eloquent speech
he has made in defense of her honor,
in the preservation of her traditions,
and in the maintenance of the former
illustrious history of Virginia, when
he sheathed the sword of one of her
own Senators which had been treach-
