EIGHT DOLLARS A YEARV; THE NOVEMBER BATTLE. THE CHANCES OE THE CONTEST NEW YORK STATE. Word? or Cheer for the Liberals-The Herald's Estimate of Mr. Greeley's Strength-It Predicts that He Will K. Swaep the Great Empire State.

The New York Herald has been Bending a large force of reporters tnronghont the length and breadth of New York State, with a view of forming an accurate estimate of the chances of the Presidential straggle, and em? bodies the results in a leading editorial pub? lished In Its Issue of Monday last, from which we take the following Interesting extracts: While our special campaigners in the interi? or of New York baye been very poorly re? warded in tbelr searches for anti-Greeley or "straight-out" Democrats, they have discover? ed, without difficulty, a pretty strong force in some of the strongest Republican counties of anti-Grant The conclusion natu? rally foilowt that Inasmuch as lhere does not appear to be any appreciable strength as a disturbing element in these Democratic Bour? bons, and as tbe anil-Grant Republicans do exist In- considerable numbers in all the strongholds of the Republicans, the chances In this State are still in favor of Greeley and i Brown, even should their majority in this city fall so low as forty thousand. In this connec? tion, our State election of last November is no test whatever; for upon the terrible hue and cry raised against the abounding and astound-1 lng corruptions ot the old exploded Tammany Ring the Democracy were be? wildered, Btruck dumb and paralyzed, and on a abort popular vote the election, even on their State ticket, went against them by de? fault. But still, upon these figures-the worst that can be supposed tor the Democrats of this city-on their Presidential ticket, the; will have a majority here of forty thousand. Add to this say five thousana Greeley Republi? cans-a moderate estimate-and this majority 1 ls enlarged to forty-five thousand. The Dem? ocratic majority in this city for Seymour in 1868 was sixty thousand, upon the largest, Sopular vote ever cast In elly and State, and ey mow carried the Slate by ten tbousand majority.

Upon ihe popular vote, then, of the State, ot 1868, including this city, and giving Greeley and Brown here only forty-five thousand majority, they will lose the electoral vote of New York by some five thousand majority. Bul supposing that In the Siate at large outside this city we transfer only ten thousand Republicans of 1868 (and they may number thirty thousand) from Grant to Gree? ley, the State, with the loss of these ten thou? sand men, is lost to Grant by fifteen thousand majority, assuming that this anti-Greeley Democratic Bourbon element signifies nothing. It may be said, however, that the general moral effect ot the recent elections in sylvania and Oblo, to say nothing of Indiana, must necessarily strengthen and encourage the administration in New York and weaken and discourage the opposition. But, taking the elections ot 1868 as our guide, this rule will not apply as to tbe demoralization of the opposition in New York. In 4868 Penn- sylvania, Ohio and Indiana were all carried by the Republicans-for on the main test, even In Indiana, their victory was clean and clear.

Such, too, was the depressing effect of these results opon the Democracy that they con? fessed at that the main battle of Novem? ber was-fost by these Incidental defeats. In-1 deed, to their discouragement was added tbe demoralization resulting from a deliberate movement among some ot the party mana? gers for a change of base In a chang? In their Presidential ticket for November. And yeti the Democratic party in New York, with all these discouragements against them, on by far the heaviest vote ever polled in the State, carried lt tor Seymour and Blair by ten thou-1 sand and tor Hoffman by twenty, thousand ma? jority. We may, then, logically assume the position that the Empire btate this year will be con? tested by the opposition coalition over every Inch of grourd from Montauk to Dunkirk and from the St. Lawrence to ihe Pennsylvania border, upon the Presidential ticket and upon the State ticket, for the Congressmen and the members ot the Legislature involved in the general struggle.

We have no satisfactory evidence that the Democratic party of the State bas been materially weakened since 1868 or by the new departure tor Greeley and Brown, while, on the other band, our travel? ling correspondents. Instructed to find out I and report as far as they can the exact situa-1 tlon of the contending parties and their appa? rent losses and gains, assure us that the Re? publicans who have gone over to Mr. Greeley lorm a very considerable accession, to the In many of the Interior counties. Hence the vigorous struggle which the oppo? sition alliance are making and will make to the end of the general contest lor the Empire State. They count upon lt, too, not as the Demo? crats counted upon lt In 1868, as their citadel and base ol operations, to be saved from the general wreck of the party at all hazards, for another campaigns, but as still a possible bal? ance of.

pawer by which tbls Presidential struggle may be determined. Tbe opposition al Han oe cannot deny that Genera: Grant, without New York, may be elected in 1872 as be was in 1868; but they do not admit this time that the loss of Pennsylvania and Ohio In October decides the issue in November. They claim New York throughout the coun? try, and throughout tbe country their confi? dence in New York still gives them hope for the White House and strength lu every State that may be considered debatable ground. The Republicans, therefore, who are counting; upon carrying New York for Grant and Wil? son and Dix and Tremain have still the odds against them, and In dosing up the gaps in their State line of battle they must act with skill and discretion or their whole line may be thrown into confusion and defeat. THE OHIO LIBERALS.

A Bright Lookout In the Buckeye State. Ohio Liberals have never faltered In their long campaign. They are to-day alert, oonfi deat, and full of courage. The late confer? ence av Columbus was fruitful In good cheer to the assembled who separated for the final work of the canvass with new cour? age. It was admitted by the Democrats that at least 20,000 of their old party associates stayed at home In the October electlen; but they will be out In November, and will mate? rially change the aspect of affairs.

General chairman of the Liberal Repub? lican executive committee, has lately given his vlews.on the situation to a reporter ot the Columbus Sentinel. General Brinkerhoff finds the prospect cheering, on the whole, and alter specifying New Hampshire and Connecticut as reasonably certain for Greeley, said: The Georgia election settled all question SB I to the South. The same wave that rolled over Georgia will carry every Southern State, with two or three exceptions. Our friends claim that North Carolina and Mississippi will both swing into line at the November elec? tion, and I see no reason to doubt the correct? ness of their "Yon think, then, that the outlook for Gree? ley is encouraging certainly I do. We have gained in every election thus far, except In Pennsylva? nia.

That State seems to be hopelessly In the bands of thieves. Between railroad monopo-1 Iles, tariff rings, ballot-box stuffer g. and high? waymen generally, Pennsylvania seems to be helpless. Pennsylvania, however, ls no lon? ger a necessity In a Presidential election. With the census of 1870 the seat of empire has moved Into the Mississippi Valley.

In fact, we need bat one doubtful State to elect Greeley. There never was a Presidential can? didate who went Into an election with so many certain electoral votes lor him." "How do yon make that out "Well, I believe lt ls conceded upon all handB that Mr. Greeley ls certain of 113 elect? oral votes from the South, without counting either North Carolina, Mississippi, or South Carolina. It seems also equally certain that New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are for Greeley, and that makes his vote 163, which Is only 21 less than a majority of the electoral college. We certainly ought to be able to make np that from all the doubtful Sutes." THE GRANITE STATE.

The Confident and 7 norong ti ly Organiird for lb? Fight. CONCORD, October 18. A conference of active Liberal Republicans and Democrats has Jost closed Us session In Concord. The canvass of the State, so far as returned, ls very encouraging, and tbere ls every Indication that the Old Granite State ls sate for the Liberals. All over tbe State, In every county, city and township, a most thor? ough working Organization exists.

The Issues for the cause are tully presented by able speak? ers. Theodore Ti ito will spend the last week of the canvass on the stump In this State. THE NEWS'ELECTION RETURNS.

A Stratgt-OutConservative county and Legislative Ticket-Better than Hob 'sort's Code. OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT. CASH'S DEPOT, October 21. Chesterfield ls all right, and the entire Con? servative county lloket ls elected by two hun? dred majority.

We bad no HobBon's Choice, all pure Conservatives, and some of the county officers were voted for by both parties. The 1 Conservatives ran no State ticket, but Tom llUBon was voted for by many on our ticket. The vote was a small one, no interest being taken In the State election, and the whites did not turn out. The colored people voted solid? ly for Moses. I noticed in THE NEWS of this date that your correspondent reports Q.

O. Singleton, colored, and Roberson elected to the Legislature iron Chesterfield; also you class the senator as a colored man. Now, lt Is evident to me that the intention the parties furnishing TEE NEWB with the result of the election In Chesterfield has been to mislead and deceive the public Our representatives elect are Colonel A. M. Lowrey, W.

W. Spencer, and the senator has always passed tor a white man In CHESTERFIELD. NEWS cries peccavi, and assures its esteemed correspondent that the re-elected senator from Chesterfield, Hon. C. W.

le recognized a3 a square white maa not only In his own county, but by his hosts of friends throughout the two Carolinas. OFFICIAL FROM A Harmonious Election and a Respect? able Heanure of Success. OCR OWN ANDERSON, October 21. Tomlinson's majority In this county ls 699 votes. The majority ot W.

JOTTINGS ABOUT THE SATE. -Nearly all hope of the recovery of the Rev. Mr. Melllc.hamp has been abandoned. -A house twelve miles from Bennettsvllle was burned on the 12th, and four colored children perished In the flames.

-The Jury returned a verdict ofnot guilty lu the case ot John Lilly, of Chester, charged with breach of trust. -On Friday night, the 18th instant, Mr. K. Rabb's gin-bouse, in Fairfield, containing twelve bales ol cotton, was destroyed by fire. No particulars as to the cause.

Some dluagreement as to the divi? sion of the proceeds of their crops ls assigned as the cause ol the quarrel. Measures have been taken for the arrest ot the alleged mur? derer.

THE MACON AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD. The stockholders of this company met in Augusta on Tuesday. In view ol the absence of stockholders having large interests, and who desired to be present, the meeting ad? journed to the second Monday In November. President Hazlehurat announced that his report was ready for presentation, but would be held over to the adjourned meeting. He would state, however, in general terms, that tbe business of the road bad Increased about fifty per cent, during the year, and that lt was in good condition.

He regarded the road as having seen its worst days, and that lt would soon become a paying Investment, THE GEORGIA SENSATION. THE MYSTERIOUS DOINGS IN AR? ZING COUNTY. Ghosts. Hobgoblins and Unseen Sprits to the Front Crockery, Pottery, Glassware and Batcher Knives-Kars of Corn, Smoothing Iron? and Books Jumping Around the Floor-The Old Family Clock and Red-Hot Brickbat! -Five Hundred People on the Ground -Full and Complete Particulars. tbe Macon On Sunday afternoon, it will be remem? bered, we published a brief paragraph slating tbat and supernatural manifestations had taken place at Surrency, In Appllog County, one hundred and twenty-Biz miles from Macon, and about sixty from Brunswick.

Mr. Surrency is a gentleman well-to-do in the world, and Is universally regarded as one of the most honorable citizens ot the county, and it would seem bia house would be tho last one ghosts would select In which to play mischief. WHAT MR. SURRENCY SATS. Soon after daylight Mr.

Surrency came Into the room and proceeded to tell from the be? ginning what had taken place up to that lime. On Friday evening, a short wnlle before dark, the family were greatly alarmed by sticks of wood flying into the house and falling about the floor, from directions they could tell noth? ing about, and without any human agency thev could see or lind out. The wood would (all before being seen, and what made the mystery more mysterious, the room in which ibe wood was tailing had all Its doors and win? dows closed. ThlB was In the front room. Soon after dark they stopped falling and was succeeded by brickbats, which fell at short intervals throughout the night In every room in the house.

Mr. Surreucy, bis wife, two grown daughters, Mr. Roberts, a clerk and a Baptist minister by the name of Bilton, were present, and with the exception of the minister, who got upon his horse and left, they all remained awake the whole night. Notwithstanding tho windows and doors were lightly closed, and no opening left In any portion ol the house, the brickbats continued lo fall; but although sometimes Just missing, not one struck any person. BOTTLES AND OLASS TAKE A HAND.

Soon alter the bricks commenced falling, bottles, vases and glassware generally com? menced Jumping from their usual places, fall? ing and breaklug. Mr. Surreocy seeing the destruction going on, directed a negro man io take four boules containing kerosene oil out ofthe house and place them In the yard. No sooner bad he Bet them down when one flew back, fell In the middle of the room, scalier log the oil In every direction. The whole family saw this.

It eeemed to come down from the celling overhead, and indeed every? thing else falling did so perpendicularly-that ls io say came straight down from above. These strange antics continued with scarcely one minute's Interruption until daylight Saturday morning, when they ceased, leaving the house nearly bankrupt In crockery and glasaware, and a largo quantity of brickbats and billets of wood around the floor. That atiernoon, or on Saturday, 19th, they commenced again pretty mnch in the same manner, and dot nc about what had taken place the night previously. The family, which bad now been joined by many neighbors, watched every nook and corner of the house to detect and, If possible, to unravel the mys? tery. But so quickly would pitchers, tum? blers, books and other articles Jump from their positions and dash to the floor the eye could not follow, and broken fragments were the first things seen, except In one Instance, and that was a pan of waler and some books; they were seen to start.

CHAIRS, SHOES AND CLOTHING were tumbling about the house as ll the hand of a veritable witch or unseen devil was pres? ent. But the greatest mystery and most In? explicable incident of this day was the escape of a lol of ordinary clothes hooks from a lock? ed bureau drawer. They also tell on the floor, the drawer remaining lightly closed as usual. Nothing else of special note occurred to-day. All got quiet at half past eight o'clock Saturday night.

THE OPERATIONS OP SONDAT. As stated above, our special reporter arrived before daybreak and heard the story ol Mr. Surrency, as above related. So soon as he got through with lt he stepped up to the OLD FAMILY CLOCK, and was about relating how rapidly the hands had travelled around the dial when the ghosts were about, on the previous day. AU eyes were turned to it, and much to their astonish? ment the hands commenced running around at the rate of about Ave hours a minute.

It waa a tblrly hour weight clock, and aller see? ing lt run at this rate for a short while our re? porter determined to al least solve thia mys? tery. He Btopped the clock, carefully exam? ined the machinery, and found lt not only lu Grfect order, but nothing whatever unusual, ilde or out. He could not for the life ot bim see the slightest thing wrong about lt. THE MAGNET THEORY. It has been suggested that there may be a large magnet about or under the house, but magnets do not attract wooden substances, and, besides, while the clock wes running at its rapid rate Mr.

L. had lila walch In his pock? et, which kept on Its usual way, and was not In the least affected. He set the clock right, when lt continued to keep correct time up to the time he lett. A RED-HOT BRICKBAT. Nothing else unusual occurred until seven? teen minutes before twelve o'clock, when the performances reopened by a pair ot scissors Jumping from the table lo the floor.

At that timo Mr. Lindenstruth was sliting In a chair, when, without the slightest premoni? tion, a large brickbat fell with great force right beside him, breaking in two. He immediately picked np a pleoe of lt and band? ed it to Mason, and both found lt bot. Then taking up the other piece he tried two or three times to break lt by throwing lt on the floor, but failed. He then laid ibis second balf on the Bill of a window In the room, in? tending to bring lt borne.

Resuming his seat near the front stoop, he was again startled by the piece he had placed on the window falling at bia feet, and once more breaking into two pieces. He did not pick It up again. At twelve o'clock a emoothlng Iron Jumped from the fire place about six feet Into tte room. It was replaced, and again Jumped out. He noticed that the Iron wae also hot; but this may have been healed at the Are.

A SHOWER OF CORN. At abeut this time dinner was announced, when the family and many guests walked out to the table. Soon after hoing seated an ear of corn, apparently from the ceiling overhead, fell between Mr. James Campbell, of Macon, and Mrs. Currency; striking the floor with great force lt broke in two, scattering the grains all round the room.

Later In the da; another ear of corn fell In another room, strlklog near Mrs. Burns, a Northern lady, who at the time had an Infant In her arms. Soon after this, whilst Mr. D. M.

McGauley, Allen Walls. Robert R. Prestell, C. C. Rason, M.

Walls, J. W. Roberts and Daniel Carter, ol that neighborhood, and Campbell, Lindenstruth and Mason were standing in the front room, a chamber glass was smashed imo fifty pieces in the centre of the room. They were at the time intently watching everything visible In the room, but none -saw this until after the vessel was broken. THE EXCITEMENT-EXTRA TRAIN.

So rapidly had the news spread, and so great was the excitement, the Macon and Brunswick Railroad dispatched an extra train on Sunday. It arrived at Surrency about three o'clock In the afternoon, with seventy five people on board. But the ghosts, spirits, or whatever else they might be called, did not choose to give them any manifestations, and the train left In about an hour, taking moat of them back. A few remained, however, deter? mined to see Into the matter. There were at least three or four hundred persons on the ground during 8unday, and up to the time our reporter left fully five hundred had visited the place.

OTHER SIGNS AND WONDERS. While all these things were going on In the house, the kitchen department was by no meana Idle. Butcher knlvep, skillets and crockeryware were falling around loose to the terror and horror of the cook. Another vsterlous thing occurred on the first or sec? ond day. Little piles of sugar, totally unlike anything of the kind ihen need hy the lamlly, were found upon the floors of the residence.

In one of these a few pins and steel pens were found. There were various other Incidents of this totally Incomprehensible mystery related to and seen by our reporter, but enough have already been given. WHAT is IT No one who has yet visited the place can give any rational theory as to the agency which produces these strange sights. Mr Sur re ney is a plain, old fashioned Georgia gentleman, and ia greatly annoyed and dis? gusted wltb the whole BroceedingB. He per? emptorily refused any compensation from any one of the three hundred persons who have eaten at his table.

If they are produced by magnets tbey must be of a different kind from nny ever known. We must leave the question to some ono else for solution. At the time our Macon party left people were coming ID from all directions, and we presume the excitement continued to-day unabated. The Macon Telegraph contains an account of the mystery, tully corroborating the forego? ing, and says that Mr. Surrency, whose house the demons, human or supernatural, have se? lected for their revelry, ls a-gentleman of most excellent character In his community.

He Is one of the leading in Appllng County, a quiet and good citizen, and bas rep? resented his county In the General Assembly of the state. He ls the owner of one ol the finest farms lu the county, and ls also agent for the Macon and Brunswick Hoad at No. 6. THE EQUINE EPIDEMIC. A New Danger Threatening New York City-Thonsands of Horses Ruined by the Canadian Horse Disease.

NEW YORK, October 23. The horse disease occurring la me different cities outside of New York, and which bas caused a great deal ot excitement among the stable keepers and horse car companies here, bas at last made Us appearance lo this city, causing the greatest paolo. The disease ap? pears to have first shown Itself in magnitude last Monday afternoon, although there had beeu some few cases before that time. The contagious qualities of disease are very vlo leni, and within twenty-four hours from the time that the first symptoms of sickness were noticed in one large stable one thousand horses under the same roof were similarly afflicted. A reporter who has visited a number of the principal stables states that no le-s than seven thousand horses lo all were afflicted up to yesterday evening.

The horses ot all the different lines of stage and street car companies are more or less affected. On the Sixth avenue street railroad Une two hun? dred horses were stricken down In lour boure, and the company have been compelled to withdraw some ot their cars. Over two thou? sand horses on the Third avenue line are cof? fering. In the stables of the Twenty-third street stage line some five hundred hones are laid up. Up to midnight last night no deaths had occurred, except In the Sixth avenue stables.

In Brooklyn the disease ls reported spread? ing, and it Is gravely apprehended that the disease will spread materially and interrupt the means of traffic throughout the city. There are some fourteen thousand car and stage horses in New York, and if the equine travel becomes stopped this season the losses to business will be very heavy. The disease ls denominated as caiarrhal fever. It com? mences with a cough, abd In about thirty-six hours a running from the eyes and nose de? velops and the horse becomes weak and ln caple of exertion. The affection ls thought to be similar to the Canadian epidemic, WASHTSGION, October 23.

The secretary ol the treasury directs col? lectors to forbid the Importation of horses suspected or disease. The collectors report that the disease ls epidemic but not contagi? ous, aad when taken early yields readily to remedies. AN EXAMPLE FOR SOUTH CAROLINA, NEW YORK, October 23. William M. Tweed delivered himself up to the sheriff at 10.30 this morning, and was brought In the sheriff's custody into the oourt of Oyer and Terminer held by Judge Brady of tba Supreme Court.

Sands becoming bis bondsmen. Ex Senator Thomas C. Fields not having appeared before the court to-day, In oumpilauce with the terms of his ball, a writ was Issued against hip bondsmen declaring the ball forfeit. Mayor A.

C. Squler, on Slimier ptreet, between Lady and Washington streets, and look therefrom about twenty dollars worth of knives, forks, hats and other light articles. It was evident? ly their design lo have made a cleaner sweep ot ihe contents of the store, had they not been frightened In their operations by a passer-by along the street. The burglars at? tempted first lo gain admittance by breaking in ihe side door of the store, but did not suc? ceed. They then went to the iront of the building and cut their wey through the brick wall beneath one of the windows, and thence through the wood work on the inside.

The tools with which tbe work was done were found on the premises, being a mortice chisel, a firmen chisel and a screwdriver made from an old sabre. The rascals passed out through this aperture a large amount of crockery, which was piled up on the sidewalk and upon-the top offence posts In the vicini? ty. But belore tbey had carried off much of this a homeward-bound typo of the Union office came upon them, and they took leg ball across the street, and made their escape, Both the burglars are described as colored men, and one of them as belog dressed In soldier's clothes. It ls also stated that Mr. waffleid, who lives next door, awakened by the barking of a dog In tbe yard, went to the window and caught a glimpse of them as they were escaping.

Mr. Squler lives in the rear and adjoining the store, but the thick walls prevented him from hearing anything of the operations. There was a small sum of money in the drawer, and this remained untonched. JUDICIAL FIREBRAND. INFLAMMATORY HARANGUE FROM THE BENCH.

Judge T. J. Ci: arge to the Grand Jury or Chester, October 91, 1879. Gentlemen of Uve Grand Jury-At the com? mencement of the present reim, which was bfgun on the first Monday ot September, and thence adjourned to this day, I charged and admonished you generally upon your powers, your dulles aud responsibilities. I then took occasion to refer to the CE uses that led the Government of the United Slates to Intervene with Its military and Juuicittl power for the protection of Amerlcau citizens In this State In the exercise of unquestionable civic rights.

I need say nothing further to vindicate that intervention. It was timely, merciful and Just. I fha 11 no iv charge yen specially upon the mailers to which it ls your bounden duty to Immediately give your most diligent atten? tion. Gentlemen of the grand Jury, you are watch? men, stationed to survey the whole country, and by your action to check, and bring to merited punelhment, all who dare to Invade any right of person or propel ty. Tou are the eye ot the law.

Nay more, ou are the right arm of the law. Toncan btv or unbar the gates or Justice. Il you fall, then all the agen? cies that the law provides for the protection of society must also lall, and ie court Itself ls made the paralyzed specialer ol the triumph ot crime. 1 I shall now point your attention to events which transpired In this county about eighteen months ago; and which demanded, but never received, the of this court; and which being In tbelr nature then exclusively within the Jurisdiction of the State, have not been acted on by tne Federal oourts. In the month ot March, 1871, a num? ber ot citizens ot tne State were slain by a fire ot musketry aod pistols on the public high? way In this county.

They were slain In an armed collision between two urganiz-d forces, nod some were slaughtered, it Is currently alleged and generally believed, while flying tur meir lives from toe of conflict. The bodies of several citizens, wtio were thus alain, lay lor some lime nr.buried, and ihe blood of some of them muy yet be seen sprinkled on the rails of femes that skirt the roadside. The court ls bound to take Judicial notice ot these terribie facui- -tur tney have passed Into the history ol' the times; and jus? tice, which has long slumbered here, should awake and reqnlte with condign punishment the guilty doers ot those deed.) of blood. JNO Inquest was ever held upon the dead bodies of the men who thus died violent deatbB. The county, it ls true, was without a coroner-the law, therefore, devolved the duty upon the nearest magistrate, but be crim? inally failed to perform lt.

That no inquest was held In eucn a case ls not the least start? ling and significant fact connected with the event ot vi hi ch I speak. At or about the same period, publia officers in the county, duty elected and qualified pursuant to law, were threatened with death or great bodily harm, unless they resigned their offlcep, In obedience to the orders ot a band of unknown conspira? tors, who made their lawless demands In writ? ten communications, which bore various ghastly- symbols of terror, and In public no? tices, which the conspirators, unrestrained by the lear of the law, and unabashed by manly Rhume, nailed upon the door of this court? house, as ll to insult and defy public Justice In her chosen temple. Gentlemen or the grand jury, this also was a great crime. It was a crime which in its very nature strikes at the existence of government Itself. If bold, bad men can thua work their will, then the foundations of organized society must soon be upheaved.

The citizen elected to public office, represents In bis officiai. sphere the sovereignty and will of the peo? ple; and by the people alone can he be Justly deprived of the franchise with which be ls in? vested. If he violates the trust reposed In him, either by malfeasance or misfeasance, by committing or omitting an act which the law prohibits or eojuins, he must be held responsi? ble In the courts established by the people to remedy all public and private wrongB. These remedies were not evoked to correct real or supposed evil; but officers were compelled by these deadiy menaces to surrender their com? missions bearing tho broad seal the State. This wt" the law of the strong hand.

The court ca. it be silent, nor unconcerned, or loacti knowing thefte things; for they are YD to all mm. No, gentle? men of the "4 jury, better would lt be, than for this to sanction or tolerate such crimes as i -se, that the solid walls of the building in hlch we now sit should crumble around u. od bury judge and Jury In their ruins 1 Juc ce would then, indeed, be silent; but it would be a silence without shame; and the good citizen, and ihe weak and the oppressed might yet hope to see ber temple erected again, and bear ber voice raised, ano behold her powerful arm bared in defence ol right. will be your Instant duly, gentlemen of the grand jury, to make a most rigid Inquisition into these mailers, and to bring io swift punishment those audacious violators of the laws ol tho land.

In per? forming this duty, to which yon are bound by your solemn oat ns, you will ethaust, If neces? sary, all the resources that tt law places at your disposal. This court stands reaay to aid you wlih all its power; and I now appeal io you to do your duty with tho spirit of men who oan be neither subdued by fear nor beni by TRIBUTE? OF At a regular communication oflJn lon Kilwinning Lodge, No. 4, A. F. held Thursday evening, October 17th, 1872.

the following preamble and were unanimously adopted On the 2d July, 1872, Past Grand Master Charles Manning Forman, at tne venerable age of nearly seventy-five years, panted from the scenes of his earthly lab TS, was ra.sed, is we hope, Into that Temple "not made with hands." In the dntles of life he had filled many JOSI: ions of trust and responsibility, and In all had so discharged hts dntles as to earn the confidence and respect of bis fellow-men, while his ammbtlity ofdlsposi tlon and the kindness of his near', hud greaMy en. deere 1 him to a large circle of personal friends. Onr deceased brother became a member Colon Kilwinning Lodge In I85B, but had been ral ed some yearn prior to that time, having been elected aa early asi83i deputy matter of the Stat In Union Kilwinning Lodge be served as master more than one term, and after be coming a member or that lodgo, he was In 1839 elected as grand master of the Sute, serving then for three terms, and la 1846 belrg again elected to the same office, and serving for two terms. These successive re-elections to snch exalted office were indicative of bis n.o-it. and or the ap.

precUTon or hu brethren. In other branches of Masonry be was to be fonnd filling the highest offices, beelining years and waning strength had or lats debarred bim from participation In the labors or the craft, but none could donbt the deep Interest which he reit In all which related to them. In 1S71 a severe attack or inness had brought bim near the porta of ihe tomb; bat a compara? tive degree or health and strength was vouched him, and bis last attendance npon Masonic duties among bis bretnren was at the laying of the cor? ner-stone or me temple now under erection. It was a fit closing of his Masonic lire. In the erec? tion or tho temple on Meeting street he had been one or the most active laborers.

When lt was destroyed by fire, and the craft despondently stood aronnd and witnessed their columns tamed and their working tools In and destroyed, he faltered energetically enter? ed upon me work or preparing another house. To the energy and hopefulness or Grand Master Chas. M. Forman and John H. Honour, with the support derived from some other hopeful brethren, the craft were indebted for that temple In which so many or us opened onr eyes to Masonic light.

it was arter aach building had been raised, and when a corner-stone upon the same site for a honse more suitable to the growth and wants of the order waa to be laid, that Past Grand Master Forman for the last time engaged with his brethren. As his name was inseparably assool- atea witn tne nrst, BO me memory aun wm oe connected wita the glories of this latter house. Resolved, That In the long and well-spent lire of Past Grand Charles Manning Forman the teachings and principles of Freemasonry were practically Illustrated. Resolved, That, by his death, the oraft at large has lost a bright example, and Union Kilwinning Lodge. No.
