We take the following lueifr article
from the Telegraph of 8ondaj last.
The description of the temple to be
erected will no doubt be road with
oterect by oar Masonic brethren.
We were yesterday shown, by Mr.
_ W. E. Wood, the Arcbiteet,.the plana
Gilmton* Ino specifications for the new Malta-
* " ie Temple, to be erected on thecor-
ner of Main and Capitol streets.
The building will.occupy a space
of ninety-seven feet on Main street,
„ and ninety-two and á half feet on
WOITLD^ C^fcapitol street a f
The first story is intended to be
occupied by stores. The front on
Main street is to be of iron, consist-
ing of sixteen Corinthian column's on
pedestals, with an impoaing^en trance
of nine feet in width.
On the second story, at the corner,
of Main and Capitol, wilt be two
Eooop, twenty by twenty-five feet
«adit to be used as offices of the
Grand Secretary. Jn the rear of

Ov Half &uet.—As wo were un-
able to got out our piper last *
¡• proper time, in consequence of our
printing paper «Mng delayed, we
li|to l en too elqio pushed thiswpel
. tefttsae itaorethan a half sheet. Oui
i cadera must take this as our apology
Jtla Court wk and we ara a good
and hindered on that
District Court.—The District Court
far this county convened on Monday
"i last, Hon. J. E. 8hepard, presiding.
On calling over the regular ventres
of Grand and Petit Jnora, but three
vera found who eould take the oath
prescribed by th^nilitary authorities
, commonly called the test oalb. The
Court then ordered the Sheriff to
a sufficient number of per-
irrespective of color, who were
qualified for jurors, and could take
the prescribed oath. On Wednesday
morning the Grand Jury was duly
empaneled and sworn, and charged
aa usual, by his Honor, the Judge.
Maj. Gieen, of«Hemp?tead, was ap-
pointed foreman. Two panels ot
twelve men each were sworn as petit
jurors. The balance cf Wednesday
waa consumed in callirig over the
docket, taking orders, etc. Yestei-
day. the Court proceeded to dispo&'
of the docket in order, of which we
may have further to say next week.
We notice quite a number of law-
yera from a distance in attendance,
and more expected to-day and to-
morrow. The criminal docket is to
bo taken up to-day.
Freedom.—A good many Southern
people are astonished that so much
noise should be made about the entire
freedom of the negro, while men, in
this country, are not allowed to nee
their fu. ultiepin producing what they
will nor to exchange products at dis-
cretion. Our government obstructs
this freedom to favor certain privi-
leged glasses, and is to that extent
despotic. And the worst of it is that
the despotism is precisely of the kind
Which does most to cripple the en-
ergies of the people and retard the
prosperity of the country.
A Change of Tunc.—The fears of
the Badicals, that they wilL not be
able to control the negro vote so
effectually in the South as to establish
.their party on a permanent footing,
are wall expressed in the following
from die New York Tribune:
Many of the blacks are mean,
pcampish loafers, who choose to live
by thieving, selling ram or pandering
to lewdness, rather than by honest
Industry. Some blacks who have
been kindly treated, will vote unde;
the influence of their old masters;
and others, again, being grossly ig-
norant, will vote under the influence
of fear; or, being dependent, will
▼ote eé aa -to curry favor with the
powerful.
Have wo not always told them so ?
B«*t *• were assured that they were
fbovery pinks of perfection*—the very
•■aonce of propriety—4ho very quint-
essence of loyalty! How is it now
when many of them will vote the
t* ticket!
|t few novseem that Mi. Davla has
any mora prospect of getting a trial
now than bo bad two years ago, or at
the time of his captan. The Rich-
iQjtmd Dispatch says:
Some persons seem ft think that
Ike allotment óf\Chief Justice Chase
to the Yifjjinia ( Circuit indicates that
Mr. Davisjs to bo tried. We think
ft indicates no such thing. Mr. Chase
baa repeatedly refused to hold a Circuit
Court in Virginia, because the State
waa under the control of the military.
Ha will adhere to this determination.
Mia own record shows him to have
boon at onetime so decided a believer
In the doctrine of secession as to
render it improbable that he will ever
willingly bit upon the case of Mr.
I>avia.
A.schoolmaster, who had an invet-
erate habit of talking to himself when
alone, was asked what motive he
eould have in talking to himself?
Jonathan replied that be had t^o
good substantial reasons : In the first
place, ho liked to talk to a sensible
man; and, in the next place, he liked
to hear a man of sense talk*
e tarar.
these will be a library-room, sixteen
by forty feet. Fronting on Main
Weet vifl be a grand aunperroom>
twenty by ninety feet, while a couple
of, fino raices will front on Capitol
street, twenty-two by forty-four feet
«ash.
4 The third and fourth stories are to help me God.
be occupied by the Masonic order ex
clusively.
The third floor will contain the
Grand Lodge Room, a magnificent
apartment, forty by seventy-eight
feet, with a height of twenty-four
feet in the clear, capacious entrance,
lobbies, etc. On the north side will
bo two rooms, sixteen by twenty feet
each, intended as offices tdr the Grand
'filer and for Regalia. In the rear
of-these will be situated the Bide
rooms and ante-rooms for the Chap-
ter. The Chapter room will be forty-
one by fifty-five feet, with a heij^it
of sixteen feet in the clear. Between
the Chapter and the Grand Lodge
Room will be three side rooms, twelve
feet.Square each, fitted up with sinks,
water closets, &c.
On the fourth floor will be a Ban-
quee Hall, fifteen by fifty-two feet,
and an Encampment room of the same
dimensions as the Chapter room be-
low, with many side rooms in connec-
tion with the same.
The first and second stories will be
fourteen feet high, the third fourteen
and a half; the fourth, twelve and a
half; height to top of cornice, 65
feet; total height,0 feet.
There will be a system of airducts
sufficient to enture a thorough ven-
tilation. while drains are to con-
structed under the building connect-
ing with the street gutter:
The foundation of all ontside and
centre walls will be six feet wide and
three feet deep. The exterior walls
of the first story will be two and a
half brick in thickness, those of the
second story two brick, of the. third
story, two and one and a half brick,
and those of the fourth one a half
brick.
The cornice will be of corrugated
iron or zinc, formed in brackets, with
a height of six feet, and a projection
of two and a half feet.
In all the lodge rooms the roofs are
self-supportive and the floor dividing
the Chapter and Encampment will be
trussed, in order to obviate the ne-
cessity ot columns.
Altogether, these plans and speci-
fications of Mr. Wood evince a thor-
ough knowledge of his profession and
fbe Masonic Temple as des gned by
him, when completed, will add mate-
rially to his reputation as an archi-
tect, and the attractiveness of our
city.
No Small Vices.—President Lin-
coln nsed to tell this story of himself.
He was riding one day on the top of
a stage coach in Illinois, when the
driver asked him to treat.
" I never use liquor," was Mr. Lin-
coln's reply, " and I cannot induce
others to do so."
" Don't chew, neither ?"
•' No, sir."
" Nor smoke t"
(*« No, air; I never use tobacco in
any form."
" Well," replied the disgusted
Jehu, " I hain't got much opinion of
felfers with no small vices; I've allers
noticed they make it up in big ones."
Terrible State of Things in Geor-
gia. — Tbe Savannah Republican
¿aya í—" Accounts represent the con-
dition of things in Camden and Bryan
counties as truly alarming: %e wild-
est days of St.Domingo seem to havt?
been reproduced in Southern Geor-
gia. In one county two negroes were
sentenced to death for murder, and
three others to the penitentiary, i
mob of colored people surrounded the
jail, broke open the doors, and allow-
ed the prisoners to escape. In another
county men were found hanging to
the trees within a short distance of
the public roads, and bad been hang-,
ing there for several days."
Details of fresh horrors come from
he west coast of Africa. A war has
broken out between two opposing
tribes of 8avagus, in which several of
the New Calabar tribes were made
prisoners *by their enemies, and,
shocking to relate, were roasted and
eaten bv the other side.
-SbSn Tired of It.—*A yonng lady
in New York bung herself with the
cord of the bridal bed on the morning
alter her marriage.
Hugo bays : The child may be of
the mother*s opinion, the man will be
of the father's.
