Desiring to know something more about the bonds, I made :a motion to appoint a committee of three to investigate and report before the adjournment of the Board as to how they came into its posession and all matters connected therewith. Thereupon E. II. Rollins, the Secretary, took me to one side and told me that I must withdraw that motion for an investigation of the bond transaction would involve James G. Blaine, lie said that the fall elections Avere near at hand, and Mr. Blaine was a candidate for reelection to Congress in

Maine. AN KXrOSURD OF THE TKAXSACTIOX just at that time would be sure to defeat him. With that I withdrew the motion. Subsequently I took J. II. Millard, of Omaha, who was and still remains a government director, to Mr. Rollins, and in his presence asked Rollins if I understood him correctly in relation to the bond transaction involving Mr. Blaine. I-Ie repeated that I did, and that an investigation would be sure to kill off Mr. Blaine at the approaching election. Afterwards, when the investigating committee, of which Jeremiah M. Wilson was chairman,-was in session, -and E. H.

To these latter occasions we pay first tribute at all times, and bow down ourselves in earnest faith, praise and humble submission.

The fifty-seventh anaversarv of founding of the Independent Order Odd Fellows occurred yesterday and was generally celebrated throughout the rountrv.

The members of the order in this city met at the lodge room of Fort 1 larrison Lodge on Main street between Sixth and Seventh.

The room was jilled to its utmost capacity by memlwrs and their families. The assembly was called to order by E. O. Whiteman, P. G., and after a finely executed overture by south side orchestra, C. E. Ilosford, N. G., took the chair, and filled the various posts of honor by appointment from, members of the order who were present. After the opening ode by the choir and the lodge, aud a prayer by Chaplain Peal the ceremonies usually observed on the occasion, were gone through with, and the proclamations of the-Grand Sire of the order in the United States, and the Grand Master of the State Lodge, ordering a general observance of the day, were read by the secretary. r. 1 losford then announced that the published programme would be entered upon and carried. As the first thing in order was a speech from himself, he proceeded to make a few remarks upon the topic of the evening. lie spoke of the steady growth of the order of Odd Fellows in America, of the sound base upon which the order was founded, the great truth contained in the bible.

At this point Rev. James Hook, L. L. D. P. G., arose to a point of order, lie declared that any allusion to the "great truths of the bible" was clearly sectarian character, and expressly forbidden bv he laws of Odd Fellowship.

MM A

country and the branches of this parent tree have sprung up in congenial soil throughout many States of the Old World and in the islands of the seas. In my mind the success and growth, of the order seems, sometimes, like an unsolved problem. Simple in its mysteries the lodge is scarcely more private or ceremonious than the fireside room in our own homes. Ac the family gathers at night about the father and mother, in the precincts of home, for counsel and training—the privacy of which may not be rudely invaded, so do we gather in the lodge room, to learn our duty to our fellow men in this world to care for the sick to relieve the distressed, and to bury the dead. If we place a guardian at the door, it is only that our private teaching may not be intruded upon by the treacherous and unworthy.

It is more than probable, that this simplicity has given the order its success and strength. Men approach the organization with a feeling of awe, thinking within themselves accepting the opinion of the outside world of its awful secrets, its terrible obligations, and its fearful ceremonies. Having once passed through the portal and into the membership of a lodge howe laugh at the ideas we^had entertained in regard to the mysterious character of the order! There is not anything here, ladies and gentlemen, to shock the nerves of the most delicate and timid Look about the hall at the symbols and vou will find nothing cn the walls but "what is intended to teach a reasonableand useful lesson for our guidance in the every dav duties of life. This is Odd Fellowship. Our sphere, as a speciality reaches only to the affairs of this lile to elevate and ennable the human character and to maintain peace, and comfort and happiness among men. If we teach anything far above and beyond this, it is the recognition of God, and the imperative duty of each of us to obey this devine law leaving each to-worship the Great Ruler according to the dictates of his own conscience and judgement!

Wh'atmore need be said? Scarcely a person within the hearing of my voice but has known of the practical charities of this order, of its offices of great good in time of need. Quietly, and without display the Odd Fellow goes about to help distress wherever it may be found. In times of epidemic distress he is clothed in anmor of love, faith and charity and hesitates not to hasten to and stay by the bedside of the afflicted He is also the good samarian who stops on all occasions to listen to tales of sadness and administerd to the wants of the suffering.

I shall pronounce no further uloqogium on the order, but I beg of you, as you go out into the world, to bear in your minds and hearts the indisputable facts I have recited. And so as your lives go on, Ladies and Gentleman, may the pleasant memory of this occasion return to you in the most agreeable form not forgetting I hat to be an Odd fellow is to love peace, to practice benevolence and insist upon good citi/.anship.

The festivities close with a reunion of Odd Fellows and their families at their hall, to-night. The city is crowded with visitors.

AT INDIANAPOLIS.

The ^7th anniversary of the introduction of Odd Fellowship into the United States, was duly celebrated at a number of places contignous to Terre Haute. At Indianapolis, Corinthian Lodge, No

474,

celebrated the occasion at the hall on the corner of St. Mary street and Central Avenue. Mr. Paton was the presiding X. G., and Mr. Lecklider the leading speaker.

We give part of MR. LECKLIDER's REMARKS, as follows: "Far back into the world's history, when the normal condition of the people was one of hostility, when. kings, princes and slaves alike settled disputes by war, bloodshed and rebellions, and when the seas were over run with pirates, there was no protection of life, property or any civil right. The art of Avar was alone thought to be worthy of a man's attention. A classic writer of the day said "The normal state of mighty gods dwelling1 upon Olympus is one of hostility. A? last such an absolute sense of insecurritv and dep^ndenca came to be felt, that by common consent, of all men met together to choose and set apart some one place which should be a heaven of safety and rest to men irrespective of creeds, race or condition They chose a beautiful island in the yEgean sea and with solemn services they dedicated this island to the art of peace, humanity and the worship _ot God, and ever afterwards might be witnessed the refreshing sight of vessels, as they neared this island, taking down their battle flags, putting themselves in holiday attire, discarding the tocsin of war, the}' chanted songs of gladness. These before hostile people struck hands as friends and dwelt for a season as brothers in this island home of friendship, love and truth Allt tribes, classes mingled, sympathized with, helped eachother, rejoiced in safety, refreshed themselves and worshiped tlieir gods on this sacred spot. Other places of the earth might be laid waste.

Blrir addressed the senate in favor of the motion. Blair argued that it was impossible for the senate to do justice to the great aud important question involved, on account of the advanced stage of the session, and the counsel had not had time to make suitable" investigation before presenting themselves to argue thir great question again. The house was even now making investigations with a view of presenting additional articles of impeachment, and if any additional charges were to be made, the counsel for the accused wanted them here and they wanted the closest security into the official conduct of the accused. He referred to his life, and stated that he had won his way to the councils of the nation on the foot of battle. Another reason why the senate should postpone the trial was that it donnected itself directly with political issues of day, and both parties were almost committed to his destruction. Judge Black followed on the same side.

The convention has thus far elected as delegates to Cincinnati, John Martin, J. Hect, G. H. Dyer, N. D. Rediout, A. D. Whitney, N. B. Gonzales and Josiah Belden, all for Blaine, and L. A.

at liberty to spend their time as they chose. During all the time, Huey declares that he paid all HardinS liquor bills and treated him in every way as though he were a brother. One evening Huey, who was paying his devotions to a very respectable young lady,

t0,cl

Hardin that he intended

go to church that evening with the voung lady above mentioned. Hardin said he would invite a feinale friend and they would go together,

this Huey consented as a matter of

course

But when Hardin called with the female friend in question, it was discovered that she wjis a. voung- woman ol bad character and Huey's young lady declinod to go to church in anysuch company.

Hardin and his girl passed on, and as spon as they were out of sight, Huey and his young woman went quietly to church. They were seen there by the other couple, and, of course, the affair gave rise to unpleasant feelings.

On the following morning, Hardin attempted to raise a quarrel with Huey, on a pretense that the latter had been inter-fering-between himself and a certain lewd°woman who lived in the neighborhood. Ilenry soon satisfied his opponent that his charges were groundless. Hardin then made some offensive remarks concerning the young woman to whom Huey was paving" attention, and the latter told

him that he would listen to no more such remarks, that he felt aggrieved at anything which the young woman had said or done, he (Huey) would give him satisfaction in a fair fight. Hardin drew from his pocket a large butcher knife which he had stolen from the table, andji started towardHuey. The latter being Unarmed, fled out at the back door of the| saloon, where the quarrel began/arid down the street to a harness shop, whercl he intended to borrow some-weapon,«defend himself. As sood aus he entered |he store he saw a loaded gun standing aiglunst the wall. He asked the proprietoi of the shop for the loan of the gun fcfr a few moments, but was told that it belonged to a man who was then in the railway depot, on the opposite side of the strea. Huey stepped to the door and looke«3| up and down the street for his|f enemy. He soon saw him ^standing in front 'of a drug' store where they had been in the fliabit of spending many of their leisili% hours.

He ran across*the street and-^obtaincd permission from the owner of tne gun to use it for a few moments. Hef then returned to the harness shop, golf the gun and stepped out on the side-walk. Meantime Hardin had seen him and had started again in pursuit of him. ii

Huey stepped dut in the Street and .walked slowly backwerd to $6' opposite side of the road, in order to-gjflehis enemy an opportunity to pass tffjie should desire to do so, but Hardin ttai£. no such intention. Ween he. te^ehed the spot on the
