>tsndlne; Jefferson Davis, free and
accepted Mason, led the great rebell-
Ion, and the fact did not even taint his
Masonic standing, but did have much
to do In securing bis pardon
Dr. Davis inclosed the sheet to his
friend, Col j. L. Powers, of Jackson,
Mimr, Secretary Of the Grand Lodge Of
Mlssisippi Masons, with the following:
DEAR SIR-I have received, with
gothers ola similar character, the en-
closed sheet, hsving paragraph un-
destined to secure my attention, and
send ittoyo to attract your notice.
Underthe head ssSummary'' is con-
.c0atsated distillation of malice and
mendaclty. The main attack seems to
be against the fraternity of Free and
Accepted Masons, and as many Sian.
derers have heretofore done, the writer
avails himself OF a sectional prejudice
existing sgainst me to point his attack
ageinst Freemasonary, and in less than
three underscored lines perpetrates al
least a. many ialshoods.

never have bean Free and Accepted

as severeIgns cannot "rebel," neither
led nor followed rebellion, great or
small.
8. As had no Masonic standing,
the assertion that it was not tainted by
the imputed act Of mine, rests not upon

4. Masonry could not have had much
to do with securing my pardon, as
have never been pardoned, or applied
for . pardon, or appealed to Masonry te
secure to me the benefit of the writ o.
habeas corpus, that l might have the
Constitutional right of every American
CITIZEN TO be confronted with my ac.

To exclude possible inference,
will add tat my father was Mason

which pertains to every secret society
Viewing Freemasonry from distance,

RIGHTS OF SUSPENDED OFFICERS.

Republican Senators Divided in Opinion as
to the Law in These Cases.
Specialize the INDIANAPOLIS journal.
WASHINGTON. April 5.-There is diversity
of opinion among Republican Senators to the
rights of suspended officials to resume their Of
fees after the Senate has rejected the nonina-
tons Of their successors. Two cases recently
came up-one in which the nominee for post
master ut Webster City, Ia, was rejected; the
other being the rejection Of the nomination of
the postmaster at Mankato, MINI. The belief
is quite general that the suspended postmasters
at these two cities will have the right to resume
their duties after the Senate adjourns, unless
others may be appointed and confirmed to sue
coed them. Some of the members of the Sem
ate take the ground that suspended officials have
the right to 60 on Immediately and demand the
keys of the Office from those now holding them.
And, in fact they assert that there ia no other
course open to those officials but that the law
is mandatory On the other hand, Senator
Morrill, of Vermont takes the ground that the
suspension holds good until the adjournment Of
the Senate, when they would have the right to
enter their offices and assume control Of the
government property until again suspended by
the President It is thought that a test case
will soon be tried in either one or the other of
these Offices. There is good deal of anxiety
among suspended Republican officials every
whore over the outcome.

preference with the exception of debts for

The Mutual Life Insurance Company OF New

administrative of John Armstrong, deceased.
In December, 1877. the insurance company
issued an endowment policy on the life of John
NJ Armstrong, of Philadelphia for $40, COG. The
policy was made payable to the assured or his
assigns the 9th day of December, 1897. or, il
he should die before that time. then to his legal
to one Benjamin Hunter who paid the premium
thereon. On Armstrong; death the company
received notice. and proof of his death having
been furnished to the company, and the money
not being paid, his widow, who was appointed
administrative, brought suit in State court In
New York for its recovery, and on the defend
ants motion, it was removed to the Circuit
Court of the United States. The company set
up the defense, among others, that the policy
was obtained by Hunter with the intent to de-
fraud the company by comprising the death Of
the assured. Within six weeks after the policy
was issued Armstrong was attacked at night in
Camden and received blows on his head which
fractured his skull from the effects of which he
died. Hunter was arrested, tried and convicted
of the murder, and was executed. At the trial

testimony of Thomas Graham to show that

THE record for Sunday in this city shows a
fatal shooting scrape, three stabbing affairs,
one probably fatal, and shooting by the po-
lice in the endeavor to effect an arrest. This
is shameful showing for city of this size,
or of any size, and suggests the wonder
whether the city is not wicked enough and
''free" enough to please the gentlemanly
members of the LIBERAL LEAGUE. who
fear that Indianapolis may become puritan
ical. These frequent crimes may be ascribed
more to the saloons and the lawless example
they set than to all other influences combined
In the LIBERAL LEAGUE crime Of almost
every description finds friend, if not a cham
pion. 1t is uncompromisingly hostile to every
movement looking to the enforcement of the
law, and is quick to denounce and threaten
all who oppose its very peculiar but doubtless
very liberal views.

Steady Growth of Movement Favoring q
Needed Reform
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The movement to
open executive SESSIONS in the Senate is growing
in favor and it is quite likely that before the
close Of the present Congress- at least these star
chamber proceedings will be dispensed with for
ever The Senators on both sides recognize the
absurdity Of attempting to keep secret the dis.
cussons on nominations with $50 newspaper
men constantly on the alert for information.
Not single executive session has been held
this winter at which anything of Importance
transpired that has not been known throughout
the country twelve hours after the doors were
opened. ALI attempts to find how naws of
this character leaks out have been unavasling.
Somehow or the other it gets out, and that's all
there is of it. This fact, together with the fur
Their one that great many Senators themselves
are quite willing that the discussions on nomina-
tons should be made public, is having its effect
and there are daily accessions to the ranks of
those who advocate the policy OF open doors OF
course there are many, especially among the
older members, who will stand out to the last
for the prerogatives, so-called of the senatorial
body, but there is every reason TO believe that
their number is growing less each day, and that
the close of the Forty ninth Congress will wit
ness the one great needed reform in the Senate,
namely, the abolition of secrecy whore secrecy is
not required. There are times, of course, when
it would be exceedingly unwise to make public
all the business of the government in it's foreign
relations, and it is thought that the secret SEES
sions will still be kept up for the discussion of
treaties the publication of which might defeat
the end sought by the treaty making powers.

THE Springfield Republican saws the onl,

THE Springfield Republican says the only
advantage in secret sessions of the Senate is
that cases may possibly be acted on with more
expedition than in open sessions that call for
talk to the galleries and the country. This
may be the only advantage, but it is a great
one. If open sessions are to result in more
talk they should be discouraged Indeed, if
closed doors will expedite business materially,
an accommodating public will submit to being
shut out oftener than is now required of it.
And the scheme of executive sessions should,
by all means, be extended to the House.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Mr. Steele, OF Indiana.
will to morrow report to the House bill to pro-

225, each regiment to have twenty-eieht iieuten-

ants to be appointed to original vacancies In the

tation and exchange among all officers OF each
regiment, so that the arduous and disagreeable
duties as we'll as the pleasant shall be shared by
all. Should the bill become law there would
be created Hfty original vacancies in each Of the

The laws in this country are made by the
people, and the people will see that they are
enforced. If they are found to be vicious or
unjust, the people can and will change them.
The frequent sessions of State and national
legislatures are for this very purpose. The
majority can make whatever laws they please.
and for this very reason there is no excuse
left for violation or defiance of the law, for it
is a creature Of the people, and must, there
fore, have the support of the majority, unless
it be supposed that the people prefer anarchy
to order and peace In the end, the law is
certain to be vindicated, and it is madness to
invoke violence.
