BV WILLIAM BOlTNStVlI.LE.
From the Masonic TrowtL- , "
'I lie theory of Freemasonry in that do
One ha!I bo received iota thejodge with
out due inquiry and examination into
his character. This bein done in a
proper manner, there U little danger
that the l'ratcrn'ty will be imposed upon
by unworthy per06. If it idone, the
inquiry will erubraco morn than the bi
ography of the individual fjr a few
month.-'. It t-houM go ovi-r his whole
life. A man may control his pa.wions
and cover his vices for a series of years,
and then not be thoroughly reformed.
We hou!d be extremely careful about
receiving as members tho.se who at any
time of life have been unlit subjects for
our tuys-teries. -But when this cxauiinu-'
tion has orwo been made, and bin Letu
pronounced by the ballot of the lodc
which elects nim, to I e f-ufiiieut, we
have never been able to apprehend the
justice ia bubmittin hi. character to
another, and even ' to a third scrutiny,
before he can receive the degrees of
Ancient Craft Masonry. - ,
Assuming tha M he t xaujinuaon ha been
. exhaustive as it out;ht to be in our opio
ion there should be but on? ballot, and
that no objection hhmild thereafter b
made agaiu.t him for anything which
- tran-pired previous to thi- investigation.
If this be jast then there i- no ryedrtf' a
farther ordeal fur hiui to pass through,
: because he has been received for the
. first d.ree with whatever imperfections
might have been attached to him. Th?
lodge has decided him a fit subject f'r
Masonry with the character which the
first scrutiny gives him, and that result
cannot bo reviewed. It is pretty well
established that no one can ba proceeded
; against for misdemeanor preierreJ be
fore hjs reception, unless willful conceal
ment is connected thewiih. Then what
is the need of a still further' scrutiny
into tho charater of the brother when
he petition for a higher degree? In
our way of viewing the'su'r ject, it is
wholly unnecessary. It is morn than wa
neeossary ; it is uniu-t. When a man
E. union for the degrees of Masonry
e ?xpoe's to receive them ail, if any ;
anl h-3 would never attempt to become a
Mason did ho6 not believe ho would r?ach
the concluding degree. To bo a IV! low
Craft without the Maker's decree, is to
bo uothiug. To be an Kntered Appren
tice with no power to take the cuoceed
in step ii worse than nothing. It
gives no privileges, confers no r'u5its, in
vests with no power. It abridges his
privilige in th.it he cannot apply to an
other lo Ige.'aiid do?s not give him even
the poor satL-facUorj of pporiinj; the
.badge of -tha fovyest decree of Masonry
in pmcesnon. even at a tuneral.
"positive as for the HrE Theroia no ex
planation, no appeal. -The Entered Ap-:
prentice has no redress. He is not even
furnished with the information by w. ich
he might possibly rirht -the wroug, ot
heal the dilSeulty. -Lie cannot now
why he wa rejected, or who opposed
him. This, is not only unnecessary and
unjust, but it i tuiiraternal also. ' It is
a cardinal law of 31aoary that no mem
bcr of the Order shall be tried on charges
without having au opportunity to defend
' himself and disprove them. But in the
case under consideration, he is rejected
without trial,- condemned without hear
ing and suspended without remedy. -
It woni-f be a natural inference,1 we
think, that the conferring of the first
degree rUouI I invest him with the privi
leges and rights of Fraterniry, so far as
-to enable hiui to defend his character
when attacko.l, and to answer when ob
jeetions wern iade to his advancement.
',. Itbhouldg-ittrtberihan thisr It should
so clotha hiui with the attributes of
broth prhw4 him the priviJe
of demanding to be confronted with his
accuser, to have a copy of the charges
aainst ' him, and to he secure from all
crrargs of a private nature to which he
eould ti& be allowed to respond.
It is somewhat singular that the argu
ment for a triune ballot ii founded upon
this very invasion of fraternal right. . It
is said to be a .sifting process by which,
pas tne ursr scrutiny, he may be sus
pended by th? second. This not only
deprives him or the motto answer, but
what i almost a3 1'oundationless in jus-
ti2s, allows an ex pirte trial to take place
on points of hi character which have
been approve J by tne first ballot, lie
may be rejected by a member for acts
dona and committed before the fir?t scru
tiny, a ud which oucht then to have been
fatal to his reception, if ever; aad the
possibility of thus deciding in the s?cond
instance is tho argnmcnt used why the
Eecon i and third bjj'lot t-houlJ be had.
It may well be admitted that it is a
shorter way to suspend or expel, than
that laid down in the code of Masonry.
A court-martial nsualiy makes hort
work of a prisoner -who falls into its
hand biiug suspected of being a spy ;
but we have never heard sane men ad
vocite that the military courts thould
take tho place of the civil tribunal 5,
merely because they arrived at conclu
sions more expeditiously.
It having been tccn that the second
and third ballots are unnecessary, r-just
and uofraterna!, it remains to provide
for the suspension or delay of an Entered
Apprentice! applying for the higher de
grees. We answer most confidently that
the proper, uec s-arv, just and fraternal
method to proceed, is to prefr chirges.
If the candidate is guilty of nets which
should debar promotion, let them be
charged against him, and allow bin to
respond a iu the higher degree. If he
is guilty, let it so appear, and that is a
f-urficient reason why ha bhould go no
further; but let him have an opjotu
nity to respond and vindicate himself. Is
is a very possible thing that a silent ballot
may be given through personal spite,
and that the member who would adopt
this secret mode of thru-ting the knife
beneath the fifth rib of Lis neighbor,
would not assuaie the responsibility of
pr"eti;rring charges merely to gratify au
unlorgivmg disposition.
Tha three ballots, in our opinion,
fiives too great liberty in this regard to
members to gratify private malice.
I hat the power is bometiuiea, 11 uot fre
quently used, f )7 that purpose, no one
will deny. Those who are cognizant of
the working ot a lodge too well know
that cases of this nature often occur.
It is presumed that it will not be con
tended that the triune ballot i a land
mark of Masonry, because in many ju
risdictions it is unknown. It is rather
an innovation upon the ancient position,
and one, which, in the opinion of many
devoted Masons, ought to be immedi
ately discontiuuid. Until it is so, it
will Lo seized upon by tho passkiuate and
unforgiving to injure and wongtho.se
who fall uuder their displeasure. When
it is done, we shall try au Entered Ap
prentice a we do a Master Mason, on
charges preferred If he is found
cuilty, he goe3 no further until the im
pediment is removed. If hi innocence
h s'lown, no protest or private ba'.lot
-ouzht to delay his progress.
Wc regard this as an important sub
ject ; one (hat should be fully and thor
ourhlv c-invasseil, and as time and oppor
tunity !o not present 'theai'ielvtts in
Grand 'Lodge, we kno;? of nc belter way
than to diseusa it through the press of the
,.LPr",'r', This is all jtLfe . apology, we have !
ft-) oficr for thus intruding our opinions
and convictions ou the readers of tho
As held 111 'our own juritdiciou, thv;
I ol ject of the sec nd and third ballots is,
to decide . upon the proficiency of the
applicant in that part of the mysteries
already ut.fjidcd to him ; and yet, al
though this is the prime object and inte
rest of the tecoud and third ballots, the
facts do not vupport this construction;
hence it appears to us the position of
Bro. Ilcun-eville cu this point bear the
marks 0 fair reasoning. Cacs havo
Arisen under our own observation, where
it were idle to assert that the ballot wa3
upon (hp profici ncy of the candidate.
Brethren in every subordinate Lodge will
b.'arus out in the assertion that more
than cno-liair cf the unfavorable ballots
had when the advancement of a candi
date is at stake are the rc-f.uk o"f some 1
petty spite, rather than a want of pro
ficiency, and hence a (Treat injustice 13
frequently done, not to . the candidate
aTonj, but to the fraternity by interpos
ing, ia this ray, an unworthy ofyctian.
Would it not be more consistent with
our standard cf vpri'htiis and honor'
able act'on, one toward another, for the
objector to wake, his' objection "to the
advancement cf a candidate, known to
the Lodge, through the proper officer,
so as to secure an investigation, and thus
give the candidate the privilege, the
opportunity to answer or remove the ob
jection, if in his power so to do? In cur
opinion there is a far more just method
of deciding proficiency.
Another reason may Le urged against
the triune ballot : When a profane pe
titions for mysteries cf tho order, he
does not ask for cue - degreo or two do
grees, but ho usks fjr tho mysteries
the ickole of the mysteries and when
the Lodge acts favorably upon his peti
tion, tkry, by that act, grant his Ve
.? .1 1
uuesc, or m etiier woias aevee to give
him what bo asked for. Tho Lodga
proceeds to impart to hiui a certain por
tion of the luyi-tciic?. After having re-
cciveJ them, if be should do auht thai
would fjrfVit- the coi:i;dcr.ce reposed in
him by the fraternity, he would Le sub
just to discipline as much as though he
had received the whole cf the mystcrie?,
and disciplined he shoxdd le. These are
our views upon this sutj.ctr notwith

It seeuis to be an open question with
some, whether the advantages derived
from tha distribution of eewia by .tbs

Some honest persons maintain that the
Ifiness of distributing 8eeds, as luan
cged by tho Department, is a swindle aad
should be abiudoned. On the other

About five years Ago ou ot'uay noighbom
received Trout Washington a package cf
wheat, which, being a sensible tuan, he
proceeded to test. lib second crop was
eighteen bushels of number one whea,
raided on half au acre of land. Last year
Vila wheat yielded from twenty to thirty
bnshels to thu aore, while other kinds
gave only fira or ten. . " - - .
