AleetlnK of the Hmireme Conclave or the Woven
Wise Wen A History ofllie Society.
This morning the Supreme Conclave of the Order
of the Seven Wise Men (Ueptasoph) met in secret
session In the hall at Third and Brown streets. De
legates were present from about live hundred
coDclaves, representing nearly every State iu the
union.
The following officers of the Supreme Conclave
presided :
Anthony Sambola, New Orleans, La., Supreme
Archon ; Dr. George P. Oliver, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
Snreme Chancellor; William Grestle, of Ohio,
Sup. Provost; C. Frledrich, of Ohio, Sup. Prelate;
William R Fitzgerald, of New Orleans, La ., Sup.
Scribe; T. P. Lockwood, of Miss., Sup. Treas. ; J.
Metzger, of Ala., Sup. Herald; R 1). Langley, of
Virginia, Sup. Inspector-General ; R Heldingsfelder,
of Louisiana, Sup. Guide; William Gerhold, Sup.
.Warder; O. Cucullu, of La., Hup. Sentluel.
In 1869 the Order was introduced Into this city by
the institution of Goethe Conclave, No. 17, it having
been established In New York aoint: two years pre
viously by the opening of a conclave by Mr. Gold
stein, who received his degrees in Washington Con
clave, No. 6, New Orleuns. The Order was sulne
quently placed In the hands of Ellas Kppsteln, who
opened two conclaves, and rewrote the German
ritual, showing much ability.
Owing to causes of a local nature, the New York
CooclaveB disbanded or merged into other societies
Those in Philadelphia, as soon as they numbered
four, went independent. They formed what Is called
the Independent Order of 8. W. M., which soon ex
tended again, and transplanted itself in New York,
where in 180J they had seven conclaves, and now
probably many more. They all work the Epostein
ritual, somewhat modified, and have extended to
several parts of the country, carrying ou all their
proceedings In German. They probably number
now some seventy-five conolaves In all. with a few
bodies called conclliums, conferring higher degrees.
The revival of the Order lu Philadelphia, under the
regular jniisdlction, was owiug to two members.
Horatio Sewell, Jr., conceived the idea of forming a
conclave of the tfrder in English, and applied to tliu
authorities of the Independent Ord-r, but was In
formed that they restricted their subordinates to the
German language, in the course of his impiirlcs he
learned the origin of the Order, and wrote a lot er
to the supreme officers, from whom he obtaiue I a
charter for Keystone Conclave, No. 1, which worked
Sur a time, but became dormant owing to the ab
sence for a tune of Brother hewell from Philadel
phia. In 1Rr,T Dr. George P. Oliver, a member of Ken
sington Conclave, No. 8, of the Independent order,
became a-qualnted with the true origin of Un
order, of which he had been unaware at. his Initia
tion. He also conferred with Urother Do Crauut
and others, who had formed a similar connection
before being aware of their position. They opened
a correspondence with the Supremo Archon, who re
ferred them to Brother Sewell. Tne result was the
revival of Keystone Conclave, No. 1, and the forma
tion of svcral new ones.

A very improper occurrence, which took place
in the Treasury building last evening, resulted
this morning in the dismissal of a marri-d mau
and a single woman, both employes in that de
partment. It would sr-cin that the services of
Hannah Tyler arc again needed iu this build
ing. Only last week a lady, whose husband Is a
clerk iu one of Bureaus of the Treasury, accused
her lord of running after a strange goddess in
the shape of a lovely female employe of the
same bureau, and when confronted by his supe
rior officer he confessed the fact, but pleaded in
extenuation that every time ho went to his home
he found his wife in familiar intimacy with a
certain ex-oflicial of high social standing. -
The female employe was dismissed, and only
a few days ago a clerk In ,tbc same bureau was
dismissed for refusing to support his unlawful
offspring, that the mother had bceu compelled
to send to the Poor House.

generally notorious bad characters, however,

direct to this agency. The last affair charged to
this mau and his sons, however, has created in

McGinnis demanded by whose authority aud lor
what crime ho was arrested, and was answered
by the Doctor that the'urrest was made under
the direction and according to the orders of tuo
Sheriff. As to the charge, the Doctor refund
to answer, but said the prisoner would find out
when he got him to Hernando. McGinnis wa
astonished ut the procedure, but submitted
quietly to the arrest, asking only to be allowed
to get his dinner and make the necessary
arrangements for his sudden absence, im
wits refused him. McGinnis, thus arrested
aud disarmed, accompanied his captors to

late in tho evening. After being absent a couple
of hours they returned without him, and, on
being questioned as to what had become of him.
answered that he had got away from them in tho
swamp and made his escape. This sonnded like
very unlikely story to the neighbors at the
time, but McGinnis' character was so high, and
the deed suspected so terrible, that they could
not believe that it was not true. Six weeks have
since elapsed, but as yet not one word has been
heard of the missing man, and every circum
stance points in the most posltivo manner to the
eon mission of a horrid crime, and lays it at tho
door of Dr. Payne and his confederates. Some

Ex-4iovernor Hhnrkey Kxponndii the Conner
VKtive 1'lallurni.
Hon. William L. Sharkey, of Mississippi, has
published a letter presenting his views of tho
rclatlvo claims of the radlcaland conservative
Republican parties to the support of tho people
of ills State. Ho says it is probable they alone
will nominate candidates, no other party being
organized in tho State for tho approaching eam-
niigii; ami aiiuougu many ot the people do not
larmonizo iu scntimcntl with either nfltlmm
they will all bo called upon to make choice be
tween them or remain passive. Ho then dis
cusses tho acts ard principles of the radicals
from the Southern standpoint at great length,
and closes his letter as follows:
Tho other party, known as Conservative Re
publicans, has made no record ns an organiza
tion in power, but still we have some evidenens
by which to judge it. Its platform of principles,
uiiiwiigii in some respects it may no objection
able to many of us, has an advantage over the
platform of the other partv. It has more of the
spirit of judgment and liberality, and, I will
add, of true patriotism. But, admitting that
this is not of itself a safe criterion, still it
stands fortified by facts which cannot be
aoiiDicu. in tne first place, It Is an opposition
party a party which sprang out of oppositiou
to the extreme doctrines of the other party in re
gard to State jiolitics only, and not in regard to
national politics, for both profess to be in favor
of the administration, and in favor of carrying
ont the reconstruction measures. Its opposition
to the oilier party must, therefore, rest on the
extreme and illiberal, unpatriotic measures of
that party, as delineated in that Constitution; it
has no other foundation to rest upon. It Is also
very certain mat some ot the prominent mem
bers of the conservative party went to Washing
ton to prevent the forcinir 6f tho Constitution
upon us by Congress at tho instance and by the
exertions or tne committee of the ultra radical
party, sent to Washington for that purpose. I
know that these gentlemen did exert themselves
to defeat the object of the radical party
as pressed by its committee, and perhaps
It Is cry much owing to their exertions that
tne radical scheme was defeated. For this we
have reason to be thankful to them. It is cer
tain that one party was not in favor of the pro
visions of the Constitution, but in favor of
having It iorccd upon us; and it is just as cer
tain that of tho other party some opposed the
whole scheme, ana all their representatives re
sisted the effort to force the rejected Constitu
tlon on us. and this surely entitles them to our
support. No one can doubt that, by tho success
of this party, wo shall have a more conservative
ndmioistrntion of our State Government, and I
I shall rejoice In its triumph over its rival.

The Growing Crop and its Present Prospects
An experienced and well-known cotton broker
sends the Boston Traveller tne following com
munication respecting the growing cottou crop
at the South. He has good facilities for obtain
ing information, and his statements may be
reRcd upon:
Observing the numerous and varied efforts of
writers on the Southern cotton crop, lor more
than a month past, to induce a general belief in
their predictions of 3,000,000 of bales as the pro
duct of 1809, 1 am constrained to offer you a few
considerations per contra:
In the first plaee,such efforts are usual. They
come everv vear at this season. Such writers
as Messrs. Neill Brothers have scarcely prog
nosticated a cotton crop of less than 8,000,000
since the close ot the war. llie facts nave regu
larly shown how little knowledge they possess;
aud it is only surprising that the uncommonly
sngacious proprietors of cotton mills of New
England should allow themselves to bo deceived
into that course of delay in purchasing their
stocks which is now so disadvantageous to them.
They have allowed cotton to be exported to
iLurope wmcu should cave ncen retaiuea tor the
mills of this country, nnd they now suffer for it.
Second. The whole season has been, until
quite recentlv', unpropitious for tue cotton plant
and the crop has been retarded from two to four
weeks by the prevalence of late frosts, rain
storms, and the consequent difficulties of work
ing the bottom and even much of the marshy
and clayey uplands in their soft and muddy con
dition. Lven should the caterpillar not come
as early as usual, there will bo a corresponding
Immaturity of the plants to favor its devastating
mission; and should it not come in force at all
still we shall have the great disadvantage of late
picking with n'l its losses, so well known by old
factors us well us planters. It will come, how
ever, beyond any doubt, and until it has spoken,
speculations as to 8, or 3,000,000 of bales
are little better than idle dreams worthy tho
f rtile brain of the milkmaid a counting of
chickens prematurely.
Third. The nrea of land planted in cotton
being less aud the labor less than in 1808, every
thing iulluencing the product must, for the re
mainder of the summer and the entire autumn,
be exceedingly propitious If even two and a
quarter millions of bales are to reward the toil
of tho producer. A very extensive and some
what minute examination of the cottou regions
of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi enables
the writer to compare the present with former
years iu the respects botli of areas planted and
labor engaged in cotton culture.
Fourth. The recent Hoods in tho vallevsof the
Gumluloupe, Camel, Colorado, and Brazos rivers
in Texas, to say nothing of the Trinity, Neehes,
and more eastern streams of that State, have
already swept away, as in a day, the hopes
based upon the mobt fertile aud best cultivated
cotton valleys south and west of Hed river.
Never before, siuce white men have known the
countiy, have the rivers of Middle and Western
Texas swelled so high. Their entire aud wide
spread bottoms, bearing the broadest o:)tton
Holds of the State, have been wholly overflowed
and swept by the Hood, and tho papers assure us
that nine-tenths of the crop of the entire county
of Gonzales are destroyed.
Other large river counties, having a portion of
uplands, suffer in less degree. . The Camel
river rose to ihe third story of the cotton factory
at New Brownfels, and destroyed all the material
and machinery. Kvery flouring mill, woollen
factory and bridge on Camel river has beou
swept ivwav. .....
If we add to this widespread destruction of
the cottou crop throughout the very best regions
of Texas, the meagre promise afforded by much
of Arkansas Louisiana, Mississippi, aud Ala
bama it will bo djilicult for tho experienced
merchant or nianiiliu"tuier to see in the future
any clear nnd satisfactory demonstration of more
than 2 MiO.OOO bales, even if no worm appears.
It would be safer to fix the estimate at 2,000,000
bales, and work accordingly.
Last year we liiid Georgia estimated by the
class of writers above mentioned at 30(),00U
then nr 000, and so on as tho season advaueed,
down" to 250,000 bales ; not to mention some
verv confident gentlemen who made still larger
ii.nlres Now it is shown by very careful ex
n . nation to bo between 200.000 and 235,000
bales Let any of your readers refer to tho ar
ileles which were frequently appearing iu the
New York papers about this time last year
notablv the Time assuring the spinners of a
greatly increased product In Georgia, if they
w ish to see how little these speculations in the
interest of "sellers short" are to be depended
on Let mill owners be wise and buy early, for
UlVr fl'W Jfuull adyuutafc, juaeed, iu deluy.

GENERALITIES.
The Moral of the Whipplnfr-poNt.
The Wilininutou (Del.), Commercial of last
evenintr says:
"It appears that among the convicts in tho
Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, at Phila
delphia, there are one hundred aud eighty-three
natives of Delaware. Besides the State iu which
the prison is situated, only three others, all bor
dering on it, send so many. These are New
York, which has 485; New Jersey, 21; and
Maryland, 2113. Considering that New Jersey is
more than five times as populous as Delaware,
and that it adjoins Pennsylvania far more
closely nnd on a long line, it seems to us that
the number from this State is immensely dispro
portionatecertainly three times as great, all
things considered, ns that from New Jersey. It
is reasonable to conclude that this is simply
one of the results produced by our convict
jacket, 'badge ol cnme'J system, which is de
signed to (and works admirably) quarter our
criminals upon neighboring communities."
A Terrific llnil Storm in Hoiilhern Virginia.
The Norfolk, Va., Journal of Saturday has
the following:
On la6t Monday afternoon the section of. Prin
cess Anne on the bay side of the county was
visited by a most destructive hail storm. Our
informant states that the storm commenced with
a thunder squall, with heavy wind from the
northwest, which soon changed to southeast,
and at first the hail stones were about the size
of marbles. The wind then lulled, but the size
of the stones increased to that of hen eggs, and
at last many of them were as large as an orange.
The extent of country which the storm traversed
was nbout two miles in width by about three
miles iu length, and the crops of corn, vegeta
bles, nnd fruit were almost entirely destroyed iu
that area, to say nothimr of numbers of panes of
glass broken. In some localities tho hail stones
beat through the roofs of the houses, aud the
outbuildings being less substantial, had their
rools beaten entirely in. The storm was so
severe nnd the hail so largo as to beat the com
down, and the stalks in many places were cut
up into small pieces. The sweet potato vines
were riddled, and the section over which the
storm swept presents a mournful scene ot ruin
and desolation.
ftforiiionimii In North Carolina.
Mention has already! uuun made of the fact
that two Mormon elders had been proselyting in
North Carolina, and that they had managed iu
two counties to make one hundred and thirty
converts. It is said that the people seem to bo
deeply imbued with peculiar doctrines of the
sect, nud to have full faith in their Jcaders.
They have sold off their property, whenever
practicable, ana will make a lresh start in the
land ot promise, feomo ot them, being unable
to dispose of their lands, left them rather than
be left behind. The men seem to bo entirely of
I he industrial classes; stout, sunburnt fanners,
nnd would bo nn invaluable acquisition to anv
community. The women, with one or two ex"
c( ptions, seem to be entirely destitute of per--i
i nl charms, and if the universal reports of
Moimondom bo true, they will, in many in
ctniices, be destined to become hewers of wood
and drawers of water for more favored ones.
t'owhifllngr Affair In WnnhliiKlon.
The Washington, I). C, Express of last even
ing contains the following:
A gav Lothario, who dispenses "cocktails"
from behind the bar of tho "Oyster Bay," re
ceived a f cvero cowhiding from the irate mamma
of one of his llames, on Saturday eveuiug last.
It appears that "Al." is a married man, and has
for some months past, forgetful of his marital
duties, been attending picnics, etc., with a young
girl of respectable parentage, who resides in the
northern part of the city. Tho girl, who seems
to be pyrfeetlv Infatuated with the ebon locks of
her pretty ""whlsky-slingcr," has been fre
quently remonstrated with by her relatives and
friends in reuard to her intimacy with "AL," but
without effect. As above stated, the matter
culminated on Suturday last, when tho young
sport received a good cowhiding from the angry
mother, and would have gotten a much better
one if Lieutenant Tuit had not interfered and
escorted the parties to the Central Guard-house,
where the Justice fined tho assailant $2, which
she wlllinclv paid, lu consideration of the satis

minutes before 7 o'clock In the mornlnir; when I
went there I mat Mr. James KalTerty. who asked
what I was doing there ; witness replied that he hail
come to serve as Ju lire of the election ; Rafferty salil
he had no right there ; witness said ho had; a few
minutes before 7 o'clock I went into the polls, and
found there James nnd Joseph Rafferty, Mr. Sutton,
Sir. llrower, and others whom I did not know; wit
ness asked Hooper to vacate the chair, as he had na
ripht to serve as judjre, which he refused to do; he
refused a second time; witness referred Hooper to
the Election law of the Commonwealth, showing him
his (witness' riaht to serve there as Judge; Hooper
positively refused tolcavethechnlror room; witness
called In Police Sergeant Haekett, ad requested him
to get assistance to eject Hooper, which was done;
at the Br e time all the others left the room,
some of whom took away the papers necessary to
conduct the election with ; the Republican olllcers
returned to the room, the Democrats remaining out
side; witness found it was the determination of the
latter not to eome in, which prevented the polls from
being opened until 8 o'clock; in the meantime wit
ness requested the citizens to select olllcers neces
sary to carry on the election; those wanted wers
the window and return Inspectors; Messrs. Hyde
nnd Faunee were selected; the polls were opened
nnd votes received a few minutes after 8 o'clock, and
tho election was quietly conducted until 6 o'clock in
the evening; there was no reason why tho Demo
cratic ottleers should not have come back ; there
were no threats of violence made; no one was or
dered out of the room except Mr. Hooper; I was
regularly elected judge of the election; previous to
the October election I was elected judge of the Tenth
division, which subsequently was divided Into the
Tenth and Fourteenth divisions; my first impression
was that under tho law I was to net In the Four
teenth, nnd on tho strength of that Impression I
delegated Mr. Hooper to act In tho Tenth; I subse
quently discovered that I was to act in tho Tenth, If
I acted at all ; I had gone to the polls armed, in case
of an emergency.
The cross-examination of this witness was "still
