The Masonic Bannnet.

The meeting of several visiting
lodges to join with the members of
Harmony Lodge No. 13, A. f. and A.
NJ, in the dedication of their capacious
hall, Thursday evening last, 18th inst,
was to them doubtless an enjoy
able occasion, as the forty OF fifty citi-
izen guests who joined with them after
the hour of ten can testify of the gas
trOnOmic pleasures of the banquet.
Harmony Lodge is in the flush of
youthful VigOr, and though having
some pleasant social seasons before,
determined this should eclipse them
all, and right well they succeeded, the
persons participating numbering III.
AS the guests descended from the Ma
sonic rooms to the place of banqueting
belOw-the main audience room Of the
Town Hall-they beheld it with its
array of evergreen dressing, well dec
GRATED tables and pictured walls, a
place hardly recognizable. The Hall
was entered through an evergreen arch
with guiding bars with the Stars and
Stripes gracefully festOoned above,
handsomely dressed chandeliers, "A
wreath of evergreen in each window
enclosing u Gagged canary bird, while
the walls presented q rich collection of
pictures. The eighty Masonic guests
from distance were put in the lead,
followed by citizen guests, the mem
bers of Harmony Lodge bringing up
the rear.
When all were seated, L. Irving
Handy, who presided. called upon
Rev. J. b. Quigg, Acting Chaplain of
the Grand Lodge, to ask n divine bles-
sing. The menu consisted of every
thing desirable to crafty the palate,
such as oysters on the half shell and
all the methods of cooking, deviled
crabs, lobster salad, terrapin la Del
aware, cold turkey, cold tongue, sauces
and relishes of all kinds, Maryland
biscuits, coffee, tea, chocolate, nuts, raj
sins, grapes, oranges, bananas, apples,
vanilla and chocolate cream and var
iOus kinds of cakes. We need not say
with such tempting viands before them
that the guests did themselves and the
occasion ample justice. There was u
misapprehensiOn on the part of n few
of the way to get through with terrapin
"a la Delaware" Some wine that was
intended for its seasoning las the
guests might like it with or without
winel was used as a pOtation to wash it
down, very much to the surprise of the
committee who had prepared it.
Presiding officer Handy, as toast
master, did himself credit as ready
speaker, and brought each respondent
to toast forward generally with that
humorous or witty allusion that is so
enjoyable on such an occasion. "Qur

AN article on our first page under
the head of The Passing of Genera
ton" gives some interesting facts in re-
latiOn to the dealings of death with our
great men. Especially has this been
the case the past few months the nOta-
ble name Though not figuring in the
political realm) being that of John B.
Cough. The dropping off of our men
notable in the affairs of the nation so
close together is remarkable, including
Ex-President Grant, and Generals
Mcclellan, and Hancock, and HOratio
Seymour who ran for the same Office.
We have only two ex-presidents,
Hayes and Arthur and two ex-vice
presidents, Hamlin and Wheeler now
living only three candidates Of the
great parties who ran for the office of
president are now alive-FremOnt, Til
den and Blaine. Though the great
civil war has been closed but twenty
five years, there are but few living who
figured cOnspicuOusly as leaders. But
a few more years we will know Ofthem
all only as they have written their
record in history.

Lodge No. 13, by B. V. Weldon; "Why
a Woman Can't Become a Mason" by
N. +. Wilds; and "The Fourth
Degree" by DR.. Mckee, of Middle
town. There were several other
tOasts expected, but the number that
wanted to return on the midnight train
brought this most pleasant part of the
banquet to an abrupt termination. The
speeches were all entertaining and
some of them racv.
The supper, which was furnished by
j. Thomas Clayton, of the Smyrna
House, was under the sole management
of P. P. Collins, who met every re-
quirement of the case in furnishing an
entertainment that in both the quality
and manner served, it would be diff
cult to excel. The oysters were fur
nished by F. J. Carter, those served
on the half shell calling forth especial
encOmiums for their excellence.

A sHREwD and unprincipled finan-
cier of New York called Jake
Sharp has been giving deal of trouble
in New York by his management in
getting a railroad down Broadway
against the wishes of the people
through his manipulation of the Com
mon Council of that city. They have
been trying to unearth some of his
deals in corruption, and Ex-senator
Roscoe COnkling, it is said, has been
sharp enough to uncover some of his
tracks. Frank Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper, in discussing his defective
memory gets off the following:
"Oakes Ames went down to the grave
a brOken-hearted man because he re-
membered so much; Tweed was
ruined because of the babbling books
of the City Hall the victims Of the
Pacific mail were entrapped by the
discovery of telltale checks. Jacob
Sharp improved on the methods.
| Twenty years ago, when he first ap-
piled for a charter for road down
Broadway, he reformed his methods.
He cultivated his memory to forget
everything more than one day old he
ceased to write peoples names on
checks; and he burnt his books behind
him, a financial COrteZ, and thence
forth kept no records of his transac-
| tiOns with his butcher, his baker, his
| candlestick maker. his lobbyist, his
Senator, OF his Alderman. So now,
| when brought upon the stand TO swear
as to what he did with 100000 that
| seems to be missing from the money
which he got from the sale of his
bonds, he has a clear field. He swears
that he has forgotten. He produces
his recently used checkbOOk the
checks torn out and the stubs blank
He produces his bankbOOk, showing
what checks have been drawn ALWAYS
made out to cash I" or Bearer " ;
but whenever a check is more than
$4,000 he fOrgets whom it was made
out to. or what it was for. Concerning
a check of $l50,000 drawn out a few
months ago his mind is perfect blank
if we may be allowed to apply the
expression to the alleged inhabitant O
the upper portion of bis anatomy. He
kept no books whatever, although
doing business of a million dollars &
year, and all his accounts were kept
on little slip of paper which he car
rid loose in his side-pOcket and tore
up aad flung away when it was full
This is all very shrewd. 1t shows
that Jacob Sharp did not mean to bC
caught. Il shows that he coulC
have given valuable points to MattOOI
and Fields, to James Fisk and DAME
Drew and "Boss Tweed But, a
the same time it will convince tn
: average American brain that JacOI
Sharp corrupted the Common COunci
Of New York city, that he stole tn
charter from the people through tina
cOquetry, and that he has now added
r perjury to bribery. No wonder such
man hates the newspapers The DO,

Benton, Clay, Calhoun and Webster to
show that the Senate has a perfect
right to examine all papers in depart
ments, whether public, private or con-
fidential The latter is the point on
which the present issue has arisen.
The President apparently thinks that
it is proper for him to remove a man
from Office on the strength of letter
which may be falsehoOd, but that it
is not proper to let the Senate, or the
man removed, know what the false
hood may be.
The report of the Judiciary Com
mittee, on whom are such statesmen
as Edmunds, Hoar and Evarts, is a
searching document with an array OF
facts taken from the records of the past
to sustain them. Senator Pugh, for
the minority of the Committee, asked
for week to get up their report in
sustaining the position of the Presi.
dent. If, after the two reports are be-
fore them and the majority still hold
to their position not to confirm nOmi-
nations where removals are made
without reasons given, in violation o.
the spirit of the Civil Service law, il
will make it bad for the new appoin
tees from the uncertainty that viii
surround their position.
The President has doubtless taker
his stand thOughtfully, and if he ha!
the spirit of Jackson he may have ;
similar experience to his over the re
moval of the U. S. Deposits. or to An
drew johnson with a hostile Senat
across his path.

The House Committee of Ways and
Means is tOiling over a new tariff bill,
which is not to be constructed on the
horizontal principle. Mr.. Morrison
has learnt by experience that he can
not carry a measure to which the Ran
dali wing of the party does not give its
assent, so he has taken that gentleman
into his counsels, and they are elaboFa-
ting a compromise tariff. The friends
of a protective tariff will resist any
change of the tariff at this session, and
should the reformers" be able to push
q new bill through the House, it is not
likely to get through the Senate. The
tariff is doubtless too high on many ar
ticles of importation, but Mr. MOrrisOns s
idea of reduction would prove destruc-
tive to large part of our manufac-
tories and thus be severe blow to
thousands of mill operatives because Oi
unremunerative labor or DO labor al
all. There are thousands of idle men
in the country seeking but cannot find
work because of the depFessiOns o.
trade.

The Senate has two bills before il
that are claiming considerable attem-
tiOn-the Presidential Count Bill and
Mr. Blair's Education Bill. The latter,
though opposed mainly by Senators
and Representatives from the South, il
is thought will pass the Senate and
probably the House. The largest ben
efts from it will innure to the Southern
States. The receipts to Delaware,
should it become a law, it is stated will
be $24O, 900, and nearly twenty thousand
dollars the first year. The bill in its
present form apprOpriates seven mil
lion dollars the first year, ten million
the second, fifteen million the third.
thirteen million the fourth, eleven
million the fifth, nine million the sixth,
seven million the seventh and FIVE mil
lion the eigth year. The money is 10

The attention of our merchants is
called to the advertisement of Samuel
+. Goodwin, of the firm of Hood, Bon
bright, & Co., 81, 813 and 815 Market
street, Philadelphia. Mr.. Goodwin left
his home in Milford when boy to en-
gage in mercantile life in Philadelphia
and soon became one of the best known
statesmen of that city and the cOnfiden-
tial friend of more Delaware and Mary
land merchants than perhaps any busi-
ness man in Philadelphia Mr.. God
win has been for many years connected
with the firm of Wood, Marsh & Co.,
but he has recently connected himself
