I Addresses by President Andrew Johnson,
Hon. 'William II. Seward, and Iter,
1 William g.Stndley.Ktc.
Boston, Jane 26. After the dedication cere
monies were concluded, last evening, President
Johnson was escorted to Musio Hall, where an
immense concourse of MasonB was in waiting
to hear an address from Rev. Mr. Studley, of
Ohio. The distinguished members of the fra
ternity occupied seats on the platform, and
among them were President Johnson, General
Bousscan and Grand Master Clinch, of Mew
Brunswick'.
Bev. William S. Studley, Patt Grand Chaplain
Of the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, pro
ceeded to deliver an address of great power,
research, and of peculiar interest to Masons.
After alluding to the new temple, the great
benefits to the world and civilization fostered
and ,.often originated in the Order, Mr. Studley
said:
I must not forget, however, that onrspoctal errand
here to-day t noi to boast of the antiquity or excel
lence of I he Order of Free Masonry, nor to answer
any objections which Ignoranceor prejudice may have
raided against II; lor It neeis noolUer eiiiog,uo older
defense, than Iwown historic record, simple and un
adorned; but we are here the representatives of our
Older Inim ail parts of this ancient C'-oinmonwealth,
with many distinguished visiting brethren from dif
ferent sections el the country, even from the White
Howe at the capital to dedicate to its proper uses the
I aclous and elegant temple Just erected by the Grand
IiO'lge of Mt a-ucmisetts for tne Masons or this Juris
diction. In discharging this duty it is eminently pro
per lo notice several historical Items which are in
teresting and Important, not only to this Urand
Lodge, but to the members and lrlends of the Order
throughout the United States. The first Lodge
ot Masons established ID this country was here at
Boston, in the year 1733. Their charter was obtained
from the Grand Lodge of England, and was known as
the Modern Grand Lodge. Their warrant was
granted by Lord Viscount Montague, Grand Master,
April 80. 1783. at the same time appointing the R. W.
Henry I'rlnce Provincial Grand Master, who opened
a Grand Lodge in Boston. July 30, 1733. It waa called
the St. John's Grand Lodge, and was known as the
Grand Lodge of 11 odor n Masons. On the 24th of June,
1734, upon the petition of several brethren residing In
Philadelphia, a warraut was granted by the .St. John's
Grand Lodge, of Boston, ior holding a lodge in tlntl
f lace, and appointing the 11. W. Benjauin Franklin
heir first Master, which was the beginning of
Masonry In Pennsylvania, and on the 2otb
of June, 17M, the Grand Lodge ot England
granted a grand warrant to the It. W. William
liell and others, authorizing them to form and bold
a Grand Lodge for the State of Pennsylvania. This
Modern (J rand Lodge at Boston proceeded to grant
warrants for holding lodges in various parts of Ame
rica, and from this graud Lodge originated tne first
lodges In Massachusetts, New Hampshire. Hliode
Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and
other places. In all these lodges the modern work
was adopted. In the year 1762 a charter was granted
by Shollo Charles Douglass. LordAbeideen, the Grand
Master of the Grand Lodge of Scotland, to a tew
Scottish Masons In Boston, constituting them a regu
lar lodge, under the title of St. Andrew's Lodge, No.
- 82, to be holden at Boston; aud In 1709, a Grand Louge
tinder the ancient system was organized by the assist
ance of two or three travelling lodges, holding their
charter from the Grand Lodge of Scotland, and the
aid Grand Lodge was called St. Andrew's Grand
Lodge. General Joseph Waren, who fell at the
battle of Bunker Hill, w' appointed the first Graud
Master ot that Grand Lodge. They granted
warrants for constitutions for subordinate lodges in
Massachusetts, New Hampshire Connecticut. Ver
mont, and New York, thus establlsnlng the ancient
or Scottish system In many of the Slates, side by side
with the modern lodges, holding under Bt. John's
Grand Lodge. At ti ls period in most of the States a
Grand Lodge was formed ot each system. These two
Grand Lodges, with tne subordinate bodies hailing
under the Jurisdiction of each, continued to act sepa
rately until 1792. a period or nearly thirty years,
during whk'h time both systems made rapid progress
thiougboul the land, there being quite as many of one
Kind us the other: and as the two systems were quite
tllflerent at that time, the two parlies held no Inter
course with each other. But in the year 1792 a union
was formed between the two Urnnrt Lodges In Massa
chusetts; the two btdiei came together and formed
What is now known an the Grand Lodge ol the Most
Ardent and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Ac
cepted Masons of tbe Commonwealth of Massachu
setts. In all tbe other States where Graud Lodges or
either tystt-m were in existence they renounced all
foreign authority, and coming together, constituted
themselves a Grand Lodge for the State in which they
were then located; and thus was brought about a
renrrnl union throughout the United States, so that
each State had but one Grand Lodge. Tbe principal
grand oillor o the Grand Ledges of the New
England Slates were appointed a Committee to har
rnonize the two systems then in nse. and to provide a
uniform system and mode of work and lectures which
should be adopted throughout the land. Alter mature
dellneration these brethren were constrained to
regard tbe modern work as an Innovation upon the
true system, aud coniined themselves to tbe mode
taught by tbe Grand Lodge of Scotland and the
ancient YorK Grand Lodge, and the generations suc
ceeding them have "pronounced their work to be
good, and such as should be received by all true lovers
or the craft."
Tba Banquet and Speech of the Presi
dent. On leaving Music Hall the President, escorted
by the Grand Lodge, returned to the new
Masonic Temple, where a bauquet had been pre
pared 1n the Egyptian Hall. After the usual
ie'tivitieB the Grand Master, in a few remarks,
alluoed to the presence of their distinguished
truest, and proposed as the first toast one which
be said was always drank at all Masonic cele
brations ' The President of the United Stated."
The President replied as follows:
Brothers In responding to the tosst which you have
1nst drank I can only teuder you my siooere thanks
lor the reception that I have received in coming uero
to-duv Had I Intended or felt Inclined to make an
address. 1 must really say language would have been
Inadeauate to express the emotions which have been

2;..iea for not addressing you on this
nccasloo. 1 might put forward those that have already
hen suggested by the Grand Master-first, that I must
absent myself from tbe remaiulug part of this celebra
tion: and next the severe press that has been made
npon me since leaving Washington. To day. as you
ail it now (such of you as have participated In its
labors) has been one of work, not one of play. Gen
tlemen I regard the demon- tralions made to-day,
and the' manifestation of teellng that has been exhl

Masonry; lor it seems lo me the prejudice, ana, i was

Masonry lor a long number ol years, seems from the
demonstration to-day to have been broken. As 1 am

tit making a speech, anu i uuu uw iuwuuou vu say as
inuch as I have. I do this, however, by way ol enl
mode. There are some, perhaps, who would not be
Dreuared to coucede that I am nut loquacious. I am
Eot as a general thing, however, very garrulous or
loouaciuus. The little talking I have done has
been more a matter of necwBily than ol choice: but
when compelled to speak, I care not before what
audience or trlbnml It bas been when truth, when
f principle, when my country, when the great cause of
be human family was at stake. I have spoken. I
have done so In times gone by when the very exist
ence of my Government aud my country was im
perilled. I telteve that the great principles of
Masonry are synonymous with the great principles
ot free government, and if my brothers will examine
tny public career from my advent In political

liave been true to both. Although personally a

that demonstration a manifestation or reeling and
an outburst, as it were, of popular sentiment which
has rarely been equalled, and I doubt whether one
like It ever occurred in iheUnltedHtateaor elsewhere.
In conclusion I have to sy I am here by your Invita

Remarks of Uetteral Roniittnsnd Gene
ral Banks.
The next toast. "Our Country." which it was
intended should be responded to by Mr. Seward,
was acknowledged by (General Lovell II. Rous
seau, who spoke as follows:
Gentlemen: I am directed by Mr. Reward to tender
his thanks to the Grand Lodge ol Massachusetts for
the honor ol the Invitation to dine wltb them. Ue re
qupsied me to say that family allllctiou bas prevented
his acceptance of It. Since tbe loss at bis daughter,
some months ago be has noton any occasion attended
a festival or anything of that sort. He has also re
quested me to express to you bis kind reception ot the
Invitation, and teuder his regret that he could not ac
cept it.
The President then withdrew from the plat
form, and was immediately surrounded by his
Masonic friends, who cordially shook him by
the hand and congratulated him on the happy
events ot the day. He was then, together with
General Rousseau, conducted to the reception
room and thence to his hotel, accompanied by
several prominent members of the Order. On
reaching the Tremont House be was met by
ex-President Pierce, who had Just arrived from
New Hampshire especially to pay his respects
to him.
At the banquet, after the President retired.
General Banks was loudly called for. and In
responding made a few brief remarks. After
alluding to the visit ol tbe president, and the
cordial welcome be Dad received, he said be
was clad he had given the warm-hearted people
of New England an opportunity to show how
tney icit towards a man wno naa Deen iionored
with tbe suffrages of the people. He was glad
the President had given tbem opportunity to
show that the citizens of Massachusetts, ay,
the citizens of New England, without regard to
personal or political opinions, in presence of
tbe head of the Government, dismissed all pre
judices and all partisan considerations, and dis
played that nonor to the Government
which it had a just right to exoect.
Then passing on to the Masonic celebration,
he said there was nothing wantiDg in this coun
try more than the fraternization of the people. If
the people of the different sections of the coun
try would only fraternize with each other asthey
ought, now that tbe facilities of travel and com
munication were so perfect, mauy of the trials
which bad hitherto distressed ue, and which
had threatened the destruction of the Govern
ment, would be avoided; and In the festivities
of the day he saw a bright and cheering indica
tion that there was one platform and one asso
ciation where, independent ot all politics and
cf all religion, the people of the country
could come together uoon the basis of social
fellowship and fraternal feeling. (Applause.)
To-morrow the President will vMt the Htate
House and be received by the Governor and
Councl, after which he will be escorted by a
company of military back to his hotel and
received there Dy tne Mayor ot unariestown,
alter wbicu ne win visit tne uuniter inn Monu
ment pround". Afterwards he will visit the
JNavv Yard, and from there take a Government
tugboat and visit the harbor and various forts.
Disappearance of a Stream. The inhabi
tants of Saint Ismier,'Dauphine, France, were
astonished the other "morning to see the bed
of the Btream which traverses the Tillage
quite dry. The Labi, as it is called, takes its
source from the waters or a oascade, and
makes its way to the Isere, through a pretty
valley adorned with trees, the explanation
of the phenomenon appears to be that the
soil at the foot of the rock from which the
cascade falls is somewhat unstable, and from
the constant moisture a subsidence of the soil
has taken place, and the water now runs into
the ground, a considerable quantity of earth
having been washed into the valley.
Premature Burial. Several cases of pre
mature burial having lately occurred in France,
the Minister of the Interior has issued another
circular to the prefects, accompanied by a code
of instructions to be made known by them to
the medical officers whose duty it is to report
the death, and which contains a series of tests
to be applied to any case in which there may
be possible room for doubt. Such rarely arises
when decease results after a sickness has par
sued its usual course, bnt sudden deaths aris
ing from nervous affections, hysteria, lethar
gies, etc., require particular care and attention.
Extraordinary Longevity. Some rare illus
trations of longevity appeared in the London
Times of Jane 3, where the deaths of five ladies
and two gentlemen are recorded, whose united
ages amounted to six hundred and seven years,
giving an average of eighty-six years and
rather more than eight months to each. The
youngest lady was eighty-throe, the oldest
ninety years of age. Of the opposite sex, one
had reached the patriarchal age of ninety-one,
and the other eighty-six years of age.
Emigration from Walks. The tide of emi
gration has once more set in in the iron and coal
districts of South Wales, and hundreds have
already left and many more are preparing to
follow. As was the case in 18U5 and 18Go',
fully eighty-five to ninety per cent, of the
emigrants are bound for the United States,
and the remainder are distributed over the
various British colonies.

A telegram from Texas recently announced a
Charge of embezzlement against Judge H. C.

very unfavorable comments. The charge was
baseless, as the following document will show:

May 29, at 11 o'clotk, a Jury was empanelled to try
Joseph Morris and II. O. Warmoatb for ember.r.llng
l !l,(mO ol Government money. The. witnesses for the
Government were heard, when I became satisfied that
there was no case against the defendant, and told the
District Attorney that 1 had not a particle oi doubt ot
the Innocence of these defendants, and that tbe
transaction was perfectly let(lllinate; at any rate, if
the property was really the property of the Gov
ernment, a suit could be brought against Mr.
Morris for lis value, but to pursue this trial
any further was an act of the baldest Injustice. I
therefore recommend to the District Attorney to

said that he was satisfied of the Innocence ot the de
fendants, and that he held In his band the papers of
the Treasury Department which acquitted the defen

The telegraph mystified us last week by an

proves, as we supposed, that the man is Samuel
Galloway, who represented the Columbus Dis

the ablest debaters and canvasser In the Went

Charely Gallagher and Jimmy t.lliott, to tight
on the 9th of July, was declared off on Saturday

Fire at Saratoga.
Saratoga, N. Y., June 24. The barns belong
ing to the Union Hotel, located on Hamilton
street, took fire at a quarter to eight o'clock this
evening and were consumed. The fire extended
south, and destroyed the newly erected servants'
quarters, also belonging to the Union Hotel.
The Clarendon was not scorched, though sup
posed to be in great danger at times, and was
only saved through the great exertions of the
Fire Department, supplied with water from the
two reservoirs on the grounds of the house. The
Columbian, which was twice in flames, was only
slightly injured. The Crescent water cure esta
blishment was not Injured, although the guests
escaped, as was also the case at the Columbian
Hotel. The fire was finally got under control,
and but for the powerful exertions of steamers
Nos. 1, 2, and 3, of this place, the conflagration
would have extended further. The buildings
burned were all rookeries, and the loss by the
conflagration la a gain to Saratoga, as no hotels
are injured.

WASHINGTON.
STICIAL DB8FATCD BS TO EVENING TELEGRAPH.
Washington, June 25.
Tne New Mexican Minister.
As the question ol who Is Marcus Ottenbourg,
the new Mexican Minister, is being raised, your
correspondent will state, in addition to what he
bas before said, that he Is a German gentleman
of excellent ability, and In supplanting Camp
bell with him the Government gains not only in
having a Minister in Mexico, but in having a
representative with brains and practical energy.
He is neither an Austrian nor a partisan of
Maximilian, but belongs to the German revolu
tionary party, and was exiled in 1849 along with
Carl Schurz, Ilecker, and others of that stamp.
In American politics he la a deeply dyed Radi
cal. He has made a faithful and excellent Con
sul, and there is no reason to doubt but that he
will be up to the average of recent foreign ap
pointments. Secretary Stanton.
Some of the Copperhead papers have again
started the report that Secretary Stanton in
tends to resign, because of the recent develop
ment of differences between the President and
himself on the matter of the Attorney-General's
opinion. Most people don't need to be Informed
that the differences between the President and
the Secretary of War, on the reconstruction
question, are very radical and of long standing,
but many people don't know that the Secretary
has always expressed dissent, when an expres
sion was necessary, as freely on former occa
sions as on this. It will be remembered that
when the President submitted his veto of the
District Suffrage bill to his Cabinet, the Secre
tary of War was thci enly member who read a
written opinion in favor of the bill, and advised
the President to sign it.
The Political Canvass In Virginia.
Colonel C. B. Moss, of Missouri, leaves here
to-morrow for Wytheville, Va., where he will be
joined by Colonel N. Marsh, of that place, after
which they will proceed in company to canvass
the southwestern counties of the State, under
the direction of the Union Republican Congres
sional Committee. The same Committee has
arranged with Mr. George Tucker, District
Attorney of Fairfax county, Va., and the Bev.
Fields Cook, of Richmond, to start for Danville,
Va., to-morrow, where they will address the
people, and then proceed eastwardly, canvassing
the southern tier of counties.
General Grant for President In Georgia.
The Atlanta New Era, one of the leading
papers of Georgia, hoists at the head of its
columns the name of General Grant for the next
President of the United States. It believes he Is
the only man who can lead the nation from its
present gloomy political night into a brighter
and more effulgent day. So mighty is the tide
now setting in, that it seems the will of Deity
Itself. Bo accepting It, we place the name of
Ulysses S. Grant at the head of the columns
of the Xeta Era as the people's choice ior Pre
sident. Mayor Monroe's Northern Experience Re
carding General Sherldan'a Course and
Radicalism.
Mayor Monroe, in an address to a meeting of
citizens on his recent return to New Orleans
from tbe North, stated that he had not met a
single man at the North who approved the
course of General Sheridan, and that radicalism
was virtually dead. The people of the North,
he said, were now trembling lest they too should
have the rights of their States overthrown und
military rule put over them.
Wllkti Booth and the President.
The Judiciary Committee recently sent down
to Nashville a confidential person to ascertain
tbe relations that existed between J. Wilkes
Booth and President Johnson when both were
in Nashville, during the latter part of the war.
After Interrogating many prominent men of
both parties, nothing further was discovered
that Booth and the then Military Governor or
Tennessee bad no connection with each other
whatever. Apropos to this, a Nashville paper
says, "Strange to relate, General Grant, who
knew that Booth was a rank Rebel, and had
refused to take the oath, gave him a pass to go
to New Orleans in the early part of 1864, writing
and signing the document himself.
Death of Col. G. R. Giddings, U. S. A.

"The demand for monnv contfmins fhllvnnfn lha
supply, and the market works close at rates of Inte
rest ranging irom 8X!I2 pe eent 810 the figures
between bankers and depositors. The weather
for several days has again been lavorable for the
growing crops, the rains which threatened wheat
with rust having ceased, and everything la now pro
gressing finely. In two or three weeks, with such
weather as we ere now having, the wheat crop will
be out of the woods, and corn will have made rapid
strides In the same direction. Kxnhange ruled sternly
at par($'26c premium buying, and 75(0)1-10 premium
selling, with a demand fully equal to tne supply,"
The Chicago Tribune of the same day
remarks:
"In answer to our qnerles the various discount
houses reported the market about the same as yes
terday. Business was qnlet, and the demand for
money only moderate. The gradual approach of
quarterly day tends to lighten up the market, but we
hear no complaints of stringency. The bank (ate Is
steady at 10 per cent., but In tbe opon market, outelde
paper Is negotiated at 1 and 2 per cent., according to
the standing of the signatures. Exchange was quite
scarce, and round lota were readily placed between
banks at 40 cents premium. Tbe counter rates were
unchanged. Several of the large drawers are ship
plug currency."
