GrandMaater Anthony has issued a decree interdicting all intercourse brtween the New York and Connecticut jLodgesof Free Mason. on the ground that the Connecticut Urand Lodge ha-s anumed Jurisdiction ovr Maaona lnewYork State.

On the ground a dispute aro.-a.' ami the duel ended in a roaeh-anU-tumtle list fight, in which Strother waa badly beatep. The Irish Republican Association of New York, John C. Hennessy presldine, Saturday night unanimously passed a resolution urging the postponement to the end of August of the National Convention of lrlsh-Amencra RepabUcana called to meet at Indianapolis July 14. Early Saturday morning Robert C. Stevenson, a well-known railroad ticket brokf rof Pittsburg, was attacked by four footpads, who knocked him down and chloroformed him. When rendered insenaible they robbed hlia of SäOO in cash, il.OUU worth of rallrotMl tickets and a diamond pin worth I80O.

tiC-oiv-tlPciined to withdraw when so directed

for he is alone in this struggle. It is too late to appoint committees to investigate1 the causes of an exodus. It is too late to fine and imprison as in that most tyrannous of States Georgia for influencing, if he chooses, persons from one State to

another. It is man's inalienable right to sek to better his condition, whether on his .own accord, or at the susrsestion of another. There ia no . power on earth that can prevent it. The exodus needed no investigation. The causes are all known. If the Necro bad been as vindictive as his

red brother, fought for every right wrested from him, it would have probably changed his condition absolutely as well as relatively. This, hereafter he means to do. He may not at all times use the same kind of weapon used by the red man ; but it is his aim to demand and have finally what belongs to him. He will support the Republican party, but will not be content with the treatment received from it, as heretofore. The good of the party demands a change cf tactics. Justice loudly calls for it, and the welfare cf the country anxiously awaits it. The matter of emigrating, the matter of political and social equality

will regulate itself in time, if missionaries ami moralists, if statesmen and political

economists will only stop tinkering with . .11.1 V 1

Societv ßince its organization; but who

now starts for her home, Terre Haute, to return to teach no more. We, the Committee, to whom was committed the charge of selecting a present, aa a memento of the high appreciation in which we hold you, are sorry to say that for many reasons our task has been but ill performed. Your Hnstinted, ardent and inestimable labors among us are too lasting in their benefits and far-reaching in their results, to be rewarded by the shallow hand of man. We can, therefore, only hope that the hand that formed the silver, will, in the

future world, crown your head with gold
