Four Chinaman recently appeared
before the Supreme Court of Now
York as tiie Incorporators of Lang We
Tong Eng Wi, which was dicovctvd
to mean "The Order and Brotherhood
of Masons." Naturally enough, in
view of the discovery of so-sailed Ma
sonic emblems under our "Cleopatra's
Needle," and the consequent discus
sion of the unti quity of Masonry, this
curious fact was investigated, and the
Chinese incorporators said that they
were Masons before they came to
America: that they had been tried and
proved as such by American ami Eng
lish Masons; that they have evidence-
to prove the existence ol Masonry in
China for a thousand years, and that
the signs and grips are the same as
those of other Masons. The pass
worda, although differing in sound,
have the same .significance as those of
European Masons.
Colonel Hay says that at a dinner
not long ago with Senator Hlaine he
felt more than ever that he had never
neon a man with such universal and
exuet knowledge. Blaine was at
home on every subject of conversation
whether it were of a general or special
interest. With a learned naturalist he
could discuss minutely and intelli
gently on the most abstract theories of
evolution. With physicians he could
discuss the latest theories of disease,
vhil3 his knowledge of mechanics
and chemistry was such that he could
explain the newest discoveries in elec
tricity and the application of steam.
Of wit he was overdo wing. In liter
ature he waa copious Willi criticisms
and memoirs of the best authors. As
a story-teller nobody at the table could
approach the prefection of Blaine.
A claim brought forward in Con
gress on Wednesday last is a curious
instance of the interruption ot a chain
of events which might have happened.
The claim is that of Colonel S. C.
Reid, as heir, for damages, owing to
the destruction of the brig General
Armstrong by the British at Fayal in
the war of 1812. The Armstrong had
seven guns and a crew of ninety men,
while the British squadron which at
tacked her consisted of three men-of-war,
carrying 133 guns and 2, Out) men.
This squadron was part of a licet which
intended to go to New Orleans to aid
the British, and if it had arrived the
town would have been lost, but the
squadron falling in with the Arm
strong an engagement took place in
which the British lost over 300 men.
and their fleet was delayed. This
claim was brought against Portugal
and prosecuted for many years, but it
was finally laid before Louis Napoleon
as arbitrator, who decided against the
United States and the claimants now
press their casos upon Congress,
Washington Letter.
From our regular Ciirrespoudont.
Washington, D. C, March 13, 1880.
The House still has its wits wool
gathering over its new rules, which
though adopted after protraoled u
cussion, provo stumbling : blocks to
even such old parliamentarians as
speaker Randall and Mr. Conger.
There is a constant and puzzling col
lision between the new and the old
rules when interpretation is desired,
and, us h consequence, the whole hody
of hoIoiis at times seem at sea and in
ignorance as to what courso to pur
sue. Thcsu diflioultics and frictions
M ill, of course, disappear when, alter
more experience and discussion, (lie
legislative wheels get duly lubricated,
as it will indeed be a touh subject
that won't revolve under the applian
ces of such ntutc hair-splitters as
Messrs. Randall and Coiiger. Mr.
Kelly raised a breeze by staling that,
for the first time In li is nineteen years
of Congressional life, he had been
corruptly approached for the purpose
of controlling his vote in the Com
mitf-ee on Ways and Means, and in
the House on the sugar bill. This
sugar question is, and always has been
a bono of ('intention in and out. of
Congress, and serves to show the 1m-
possibilitv of having one rule for the
whole country. Prior to the war the
South inscribed "Free Trade" on its
banners, and yet forced a prohibitory
tatili'on the country on sugar. To
this the North demurred, but, on the
other baud, it secured its tarid'on iron.
1 n 1S.15 the political parlies had vir
tually two platforms. One of proteu
t i-iii in the Norih and free trade in
the South, barring sugar, of course, in
the latter section. The same old
fight is coming to the surfr.ee again,
and the chapter recited by Mr. Kelly
is only in keeping with those of the
ante helium times.
The Senate has disposed of its ele
phant, the Fit. John Porter case, by
laying it on the table, Vihich means
burial until next winter, and after the
presidential election, it nasueen amy
ar,'tied by Messrs. Logan, Carpenter,
Bayard, and Ratidoph, who have cov
ered the whole ground in issue in
(heir exhaustive pro and eon speeches.
No one, of course, lias had his con
victions changed by this debate. But
it answers a political purpose. It is a
pity that the entire matter cannot be
buried forever, without thrusting it
into the arena of polities. Porter was
a. good soldier. But there can be no
question as to his failure to do his
whole duty at Bull Run, just as with
Met 'lellan. Let him be pardoned by
the President, and thus in restoration
to full citizenship, the political feature
given his case will be removed.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, has made
a slight rfpple in the Capitol cmrtni
by threatening to resign his seat be
cause of the refusal by the Democrats
of the House to allow him to state
in a ten minutes speech, the ground of
his opposition to the :11st rule, which
permits a rider on an appropriation
bill. It is not at .all likely that re
signation, will ensue, as everybody
wants the old veteran to remain, and
all are united in the proper coaxing
and soothing syrup applications upon
hiiu, with every prospect of success.
It would be a misfortune to lose him
at this junction and we doubt whether
there is a Republican in Congress but
what would deeply regret his exodus.
Though not a parliamentarian in that
lighting sense which puts Speaker
Randall where he is, and makes Mr.
Conger leader of the Republicans, yet
lie has a perception of parliamentary
law which gives him great strength
as a counsellor. When, in the -13th
Congress, the Republicans prevented
the introduction of bills, it was Mr.
Stephens who suggested tiie success
ful Hank movement of thepctition box
through which all bills could be
brought before the House. He is un
doubtedly a man of power and of
great use, hence his resignation is to
be deplored.
On the surface, rrcsident-ir.aking
here seems to have no particular ex
citement in it. But the under cur
rent sets strongly, indeed, and each
candidate is exertingall hisstrenglh to
secure favorable influences for himself
o matter into what company one
goes, the topic of conversation will
inevitably drift into that of the next
Presidency. Washington is peculiarly
a city of politicians, and it is as nat
ural for a Washinglonian, whether a
congressional sojourner or citizen, to
discuss White House matters as for a
fast horse man to "talk horse." It is
naturally the uppermost subject of
thought here, hence it is irrepressible.
Mr. Blaine has resumed his card re
ceptions, and weekly gathers in his
parlors hundreds of politiciansof both
sexes and parties-coloralone excepted.
He is an astute politician, and it is a
shrewd move for him to mingle with
those of his class in levees ju-Nt iu ud
vauce of the coining struggle at Chi
cago. He is in lighting condition this
year, as he Is not liaiulieppcd, as in
ls,;i, willi personal attacks, and we do

not doubt will tie hear Irom at Chicago
next June, as he was at Cincinnati in
None ot tiie oilier candidates
are deviating from their usual out
ward course, though their lriends are
hard at work pulling wires.
The anamolo'us political position of
Virginia is a source of concern here,
as no politician can now predict, from
what has occurred there, how the
State may cast its electoral vote this
fall. The warfare between the ad
juster and readjustee elements Is so
hitter and acrimonious, and withal so
extensive, for it tilings under ils in
fluence all the voters of the State,
that no party whip can be applied to
force dissentients iuto the traces on
election day, unless some unknown
healing appliance can be invented.
The hue and cry against the re-adjusters
and his so-called repudiation lias
sutlicient groundlessness in it to war
rant a belief that he will be safe in an
appeal to the people, and we hazard
the prediction that next November
will show him to have increased rather
than weakened his strength should
the election turn on the financial con
cerns of that unfortunate State,

ACT POSITION.
Washington, Mnrch 12. Senator
Cameron of Pennsylvania said to-day
t lust lie was very much annoyed at
I he repeated publications continually
Appearing in the newspaper with re
gard to his views and position on the
presidential question; he had but one
position, had never expressed but one
opinion, and did not think he should
find it necessry to change either.
Without ademption to deny in detail
every straggling paragraph purporting
to express his views, he would nay
generally nnd finally that he was in
favor "of General Grant's nomination
to the presidency and had no second
choice. His confidence that Grant
would ho nominated on the first ballot
was as strong as human confidence
could bej and lie believed that the
contest would be poetically settled
long before the convention met at
Chicago. Maine and Ohio might cast
complimentary votes for their favorite
sons, but enough Slates would go there
instructed for Grant to make the con
test useless, and he anticipated that,
the (list ballot would carry nearly all
the States for Grant. Senator Came
ron further said ho had never thought
for a moment or listened to a sugges
tion as to what ho would do "if Grant
were out of the way," because such
an event was impossible. Nothing
but deatli could prevent Grant's nom
ination now. The Senator's expression
of his views would not be misunder
stood to mean anything except that he
w:sconlidentof Grant's nomination,
and founded his confidence upon in
formation that was not all known to
the public.

OF A FI.Ol'K .MILU
Indianapolis, March 11. The flour
mill of Lehman, Rosenthal & Co., at
Frankford, Intl., exploded this morn
ing about 7 o'clock. The mills were
entirely destroyed by lire. Ten per
sons were killed, among them Patrick
Leahy, the foreman, and Thomas
Claxton, the engineer. At the time
of the explosion all the employees of
the mill, ten in number, were gath
ered iii the boiler room, apparently for
the purpose of warming themselves
preparatory to going to work at 7
o'clock. The explosion completely de
molished the building, shaking the
neighboring town and hurling pieces
to a distance of throu hundred yards.
Not one of the ten men escaped.
When help arrived. Engineer Claxton
was the only one alive. He never
spoke, and died in a few minutes.
Only two men were buried in t lie de
bris, the rest being blown through the
walls and mutilated. The body of
one man was found live hundred feet
from tiie boiler-room, which stood in
the centre of a two-acre space. The
head of a man mimed Webb was blown
entirely off, and the others were torn
to pieces. In the absence of survivors
the cause of the explosion remains a
mystery. Tito guage of the boiler was
fixed for one hundred pounds, but it
lias been the custom only to carry
sixty. Engineer Claxton only held
the portion two days. One report
says his predecessor left because the
boiler was unsafe, and another be
cause an advance in wages had been
refused. After the explosion the mill
took lireand was burned to the ground.
The estimated loss is $10,000, with
possibly 3,000 Insurance. The list of
killed is as follows: Patrick Leighan,
foreman, single, aged 85; Thomas
Claxton, engineer, single, aged '-'2 ;
