Charlty ana penevolence, “peace on earth and good will among men,” the essential features of all creeds and religions, are fully represented and imeulcated by the daily teachings and practice of Odd Fellow- ship, it makes no distinction of ranx, of creed, of Dationaligy, nor of wealth, but embraces all within its charitable fold, Among the principal objects of the order, as now constituted and as it has been or- ganized ever since its introduction into the United Christo and European mediation for Cuba and a coufederanon of the Antilles on free trade principles, are the next things on the cards. Baes has always leaned that way.

The Negotiations Between Washington and St. Dominge—Public and Private History Schemes and Counter Schemes—Present Attitude of the Annexation Question. Sr. Domingo, April 10, 1869. There is a wonderful rattling of dry bones among the fossils of Dominican officiaidom. The European consuls are searching into all manner of old docu- ments to prove to their respective governments that the omniverous American eagle is about to swoop down on the round circle of Antilles, and that noth- ing short of a general combination of all the crowns of Europe can keep this terrible bird of prey from clutching them all, leaving the aforesaid crowned heads without a single coffee, sugar or spice island in the American seas. - “It is probably known to you before this time that the so-called mission of M. Angerard from this gov- ernment to Washington was, not to put too fine a point upon it, @ clever ruse of M. Landais, the French Vice Consul, to entrap the annexation party here into showing their cards at Washington, and so place the whoie affair within the cognizance and manipulation of Napoleon’s Minister at that point. The trick was so well played that even that wary old rat, Secretary Seward, was caught by 1, Grant’s friends seem not to have liked any part of Seward’s jumble and quietly took measures to make up their own game at both ends of the line. To clear the table and learn exactly what was before and behind them, a compe- tent person—probably more than one-—was sent here to study the records and maintain a close correspond- ence with Washington. Minister Fabens has come and gone two or three times to collect “ravelled ends” and bring up the missing links of data, and all the foreign consuls are busy unearthing buried documents and forgotten letters to make out their chain of evidence against the “designing and raven- ous” United States. No power is better entitled to the truth, and the whole truth, than the permanent fourth estate of republics—the independent press— and so at least a month before any of them get improvement and moral and social elevation of man. With such principles, it has been asked, why should the order adhere to its machinery of secrecy and seclusion ? But it is but just to state that the rend and mystery connected with the order are but inc! dents—means to prevent fraud and imposition. Certain signs of recognition, of proof of member- ship and of identification have been found necessary, aud this ig all that there 1s secret about it. Its ac- tions shun not the light of day and its p1 are generally known and published to the world. The order is eminent popular in the United States. Its members are, for the greater part, found among the middie and industrial classes, though it numbers many men of wealth and commanding osition among its brothers. A large majority, jowever, are professional men, business men, mechanics an farmers, Especially is this true among our German population. It is estimated that fully one-fourth of the entire membership of the order 13 composed of Ger- mans, who in every large city have a number of lodges of their own, where the proceedings are con- ducted in the German language. As an indication of this 1t may be mentioned that last summer & con- vention was held in this city of delegates from a number of German Odd Fellow lodges, for the pur- pose of initiating a movement jooking to the accu. mulation of a tund to build an Odd Fellows’ Hall to accommodate the German lodges. Such lodges Cs very numerous in this city and througuout the ‘est. In the year 1860, according to the official returns, there were in the United States 3,548 lodges, with 173,818 members. The amount paid for relief in that rear Was $548,746, and for other charitable pul $72,450. The whole amount thus expended for the thirty years prior to 1860 was $8,478,528, quite a regal sum, considering the small beginning in Balttmore in 1819. Since 1860 the order has again largely increased, and it is estimated that there are now over 4,000 lodges in existence, numbering probably 300,000 mem- bers; the annual income of the order for the year 1868 is rated at $2,500,000, of which over $1,200,000 was expended in’ relieving the necessities ‘of ‘sick or needy brethren and otherwise employing it in char- itable objects—a truly munificent’ contribution, which cannot fail to elicit the highest praise. One writer, In commenting upon this and upon the n- eral tendencies of the order, says:—‘American Odd Fellowship is eminently progressive. It was the pioneer ef the great reforms that now occupy the attention of the public. Its founders in this country removed from it the more convivial features that mark the system in England and tmparted to it the characteristic elements of benevolence and practical philanthropy.”” The anniversary exercises to-day promise to be worthy of the order. The aii national celebration CELEBRATION OF THE DAY. ‘To-day is the Afteth anniversary of the institution . ‘tm this country of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. It will be celebrated by all the lodges throughout the United States, and especially at Philadelphia, where the arrangements are made for ® grand national celebration, in which, besides the members of the order resident in that city, repre- sentativesand delegates of a majority of the lodges in other States will participate. The day will also ‘ve festtvely commemorated in this and other cities, though the festrvities will not, except in Philadel- Phia, be of @ public character, the “brethren” of our focal lodges having concluded to abandon the idea of a procession in the streets and to confine the cele- bration to converts, meetings, dinners and balls. » The fiftieth anniversary! The members of this order may well fee! proud of the astonishing pro- ‘@ress they have made during these years. It has Mot only kept pace with the gigantic general devel- ‘opment of the country at large, but it has far ex- ‘ceeded it. It was on the 26th day of April, 1819, that “one” Thomas Wildey, of Balttmore, uniting ‘with himself four others, instituted the first lodge of Odd Fellows in the United States. They were Eng- Uushmen, and attached thelr lodge, which they Bamed the Washington Lodge No, 1, to the **Man- chester Unity,’’ the main body of British Odd Fel- lows, and received a charter from there, under which they began to work and expand. And now, fifty years after, the “Independent Order of Odd Fellows” rivals, in point of numbers, of wealth and intelligence, any other similar organization—even the Masonic fraternity—and may be considered as ‘one of the most important institutions of the land. ' The origin of the Odd Fellows, like that of the Masonic order, it has been attempted to trace back to remote antiquity. It is stated by some that a brotherhood like the Odd Fellows, for mutual enter- tainment and succor, had existed among the Goths and Huns and other Northern and Eastern nations Will take place, ag already stated, in Philadelphia, | the whole of the facts together the HERALD may as early as the fourth century; that it was intro- | when the 25,000 members in that city will march, in them all before ite he duceed into Spain in the fifth, to Portugal in the | Mi regalia, in procession | through the streets, To begin with the beginning of the Dominican re- public—that is to say at its birth, in 1844. The Washington Cabinet assumed a most singular posi- tion. When the Eastern or old Spanish division— comprising two-thirds of the island of Hayti—broke away from its forced union with the strictly negro government of the French end, Mr, Caminero—a most accomplished white gentleman—was sent to ask the United States to recognize the infaat Domi- nican republic as a member of the American system. Caminero pressed as reasons for the friendship and moral support of the Washington government these considerations:— First—That its central position in the Antilles and its proximity to the United States would make it al- ways desirable to have it a free and republican State, independent of European domination. The Domini- can republic was the only American State in the West Indies, all the other islands being European colonies except Hayti, which was almost as Airican as Dahtome' Second—fle urged that this republte, having res- cued tts independence from the yoke of excinsive negro dominion, proceeded not only to establisn the equal rights of all races to its fundamental law, but nad by express conditions in its constitution opened its public domain, ics valuable forests and tisheries and its extensive mineral deposits to the uwe and occupation of foreigners as freely a3 to the natives of the soil; that, in brief, by accepting the Dopuni- can republic as a member of the American system the United States would gain thereby al! the advan- tages of so much additional territory without the cost or regponsibiliity of maintamtng it. Mr. Cardinero’s miasion fatled for reasons peculiar to the time, An idea was entertained by many lead- ing men that we must have somewhere in or about the United States a purely negro State, and to them the island of Hayti seemed the divinely appointed spot. They did not wish white men there at any Wee ‘They thought and said the whites already there must be crowded out; that an Anglo-African empire might rise to absorb the rule of the entire circle of West India islands, Cuba tn- cluded. The negro supremacy party was, if notstrong in itself, active and always on the alert to serve their model negro governinent in Haytl. To aid Hayti the Dominican republic was quietly ignored a: Washing- ton until about 1860, when the Cuban Junta renewed the subject with certain Senators, The Cuban Revo- lutionary Junta of 1847 couceived the plan of obtain- ing, under the guise of a commercial charter, the control of a maritime depot on the fine bay of Man- zanillo, which deeply indents the north coast of the island of Hayti exactly on the line between Dominican republic, They hoped, by subsidizing one or both of the rival governments, to purchase immunity, if not assistance, in their revolationary pro- jects on Cuba. A member of Congress who had solicited the contidence of the Cuban leaders mentioned the plan to @ member of the Washingion Love Ase thought it his duty to notify the Spanish Minister, The Cuban plan was toiled, of course, but it had the result of makin; Spain, France and England very kindly and carefu’ in protecting the Dominican government and keep- ing it under European tutelage. In 1853-4 the Dominican question was revived at Washington, if not directly by the Cuban revolutionists, certainly by those warty and openly in favor of annex that island to the United States. Genera! W. L. Cazneau, of Texas, seconded by the Senators and the entire State delegation in Congress, submitted to the Pierce Caoinet the project of acquiring a naval station in the bay of Samana for the bay of Manza- nillo, Secretary Marcy was not in favor of outside acquisitions, but Guthrie, of the Treasury, and Davis, of the War Department, were earnest in its favor, and Cazneau, after a preliminary visit to examine the round, was sent to St. Domiugo in 1864, in the nited States frigate Columbia, to treat for a navai station at Samana. George B. McClellan accom- panied Cazneau on this mission to select the site. He went round to Samana Bay in the Columbia, exam- ined the bay and designated the place, which, a few baiereel the Spanish engineers declared to ft ie D accompanied by numerous delegations from all the principal cities and towns, east, north, south and west, and it is expected that not lees than 50,000 brethren will participate. At St. Lonis the Mayor has issued a proclamation requesting the citizens to suspend business between nine and three o'clock to-day, in order that ail may participate in and wit- ness the procession which 1s to come off in that city, and which will also be @ seni affair, jud, from the extensive pines ions made for it. Al the great centres of trade, besides sending their delegations to Philadelphia, will also celeprate the day, and in Boston, Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago, New Orieans and Charleston the arrangements are made in a scyle commensurate with the importance and wealth of the order. Thus will pass the fliftteth anniversary of Odd Fellowship in the United States. As the country itself has expanded from a mere handful of people between the eastern siopes of the Alleghanies and the Aulantic toa grand nation, covering the continent from ocean to ocean, and second to none in power, influence and wealth, 30 have also increased all the institutions among the people, and none more rapid- ly nor © a greater degree than the order of Odd Fellows. Where on the day of its birth in America it numbered but five people, who ventured to father its introduction, it numbers now a million and a half of souls, directly or indirectly interested in its welfare and prosperity. As time rolis on and the country grows larger and more prosperous still, so will this order grow with its prosperity, and it will present a still more glorious and grander spectacle, when, on the 26th of April, 1919, it'will celebrate the centennial anniversary of its existence and beneti- cient working among us, sixth and to France in the twelfth century, and was transplanted to England by Sir John De Neville and other associated knights, where, in the eighteenth century, the name was changed to “Odd Fellows’? from “The Loyal Grand Lodge of Honor.” Others ascribed to ita still more anctent origin. If these are to be believed Adam, tne first man, according to Moses, was the founder of the order and the first “odd” fellow. This account may perhaps have been suggested by the fact that before Eve was created to make a pair Adam undoubtedly must have been the “odd” one. Still another account states that among the soldiers of Nero, the Roman Emperor, the brother- hood was first institated for reciprocal protection and assistance, and that the order took its shape and name during the reign of Emperor Titus, and was gradually carried through the then known civi- lized world by the Roman soldiery and others who had become initiated, » Butail these imaginary tales have now been dis- carded as mere inventions of enthusiasts, It 1s quité tmpossible that the origin of the order should date so far back into antiquity, and yet neither sacred nor profane history make any men- tion of its existence. Hence in the United States the Grand Lodge was not misled even by em- biem procured from a Briush lodge in 1826, on Which Adam is represented as laying the foundation of the first lodge, and it declared ail the accounts mentioned of the putative origin and age ag of the Order of Odd Fellows to be absurd and idle Stories, unworthy of credence. The true origin of the order is given as follows: — Towards the close of the eighteenth century a pumber of mechanics and laborers had formed into lodges, calling themselves the “Ancient and Honor- able Loyal Odd Fellows.’ The object of their asso- ciation Was mutual support in case of need or sick- ness, and with the example of the Masons before them they adopted secrecy for their meetings, a cer- tain system of ritual, with grips and passwords, and @ subdivision into gy with a view to better imternal government. Their meetings were held in daverns and generally ended with a convivial feast, ‘Whioh, m fact, was also one of the original purposes of the confraternity. The weekly contributions for charitable ends were small, commensurate to the means of the members, and seldom more than from @ penny to twopence a week. it was about this time that James Montgomery wrote the song fora London lodge, which is still sung by the lodges even in this country, commencing with Where Friendship, Love and Trath abound, Among a band éf Brothers. And the words, ‘friendship, love and truth” wtill form what may be called the shibboleth of the order, and it is expected that ail brothers live up to the dictates of these three “cardinal virtues.” From Loudon the order soon extended to other cities, particularly to Liver- re and Manchester, A central organization was hen formed, uniting the several societies or lodges in one “Union Order of Odd Fellows,” the chiet or governing organization or grand lodge being located at London. By the year 1800 the order nad already spread over nearly the whole of England, and some discussion arose within it as to the contmuance of the gystem of convivial gatherings of the brothers, the minority insisting that they should be omitted. ‘The egitation of this question lasted for four years, giving often rise to heated debate and angry discus. sion. At last the “reformers” finding the still in the minority, seceded from the organization and at a convention held at Manchester formed the “In- dependent Order of Odd Feliows” aud the central commuttee located there and the subordinate lodyes under us control, and kuown as the nehester Unity,” is still regarded as the main body of British Odd Fetlows. It was, as has already been stated, authority of this “‘Manchesier Unity” and by force Of @ charter obtained from its grand lodge a “nm able central comunittee” that, ou the 26th April, Thomas Widey and his four associates st (d Washington Lodge No. 1 at Baltimore, the first regu- Jar lodge of Odd Fellows tn the United States. It is not doubted that there were some Odd Fellow or- ganizations betore that in this country, but they were managed upon the original Loudon plan and Convivial meetings were most in order, the charit- The Celebration in Philadelphia—Arrival of Delegates from Abroad—Preparation for a Grand Ball in the Skating Rink.

After the parade the grand feature will be a ballin the skating rink. The capacity of this buuding allows three hundred sets to dance at once.

Progress of the Annexation Idea—Counter Infuences at Work=Napoleon’s Plan for a West Indian Confederation. St. DominGo, April 2, 1869, The idea of annexation to or some form of pro- tection from the United States is taking possession ot the Dominican mind to an incredible extent. In a recent trip into the interlor sections, where the African popuiation largely preponderates and where we least expected sach an exhibition of interest, we were overwhelmed with inquiries as to when the Americans were coming. Almost everybody has something he expects to sell to the Americans for their “beautiful gold and silver.” Lands, cattie, horses, pigs, poultry even are to find a cash market ‘when the “Americans shall take charge of Domini- can prosperity.” There is a secret but steady counter current at work, however, which will take a distinct form should Congress refuse to authorize the President to effect the annexation. One and al deny the soft im- peachment, but it 1s not the less true, nevertheless, that at least two of the European consuls have under the unequalled natural Gibraltar of the Caribbean} It is a matter 01 historic notoriety tn French and English squadrons in these seas were ordered to nt a sufficient naval force in front of St. Domingo “to check the conclusion of a which would place such a dangerous Power as the able pu being second In degree oniy, | "ited in arging a counter plan upon the Dominican | The ew organization “or Mr." Wiley, how: | Cabinet, and that one member (but one, 1 believe) | \nlted States at the most commanding, point of the pail a setermarh: mente ous roped All a decidedly prefers the European plan to the policy of | lished all the particulars at the ttme)—bat the Wash- F and needy brothers the ciel object, their | *PMexation to the United States.

Not only did the first lodge itself increase rapidly in numbers, but others were in- stituted in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, from whence it spread to the West, taking root and expanding wherever a brother from the Bast went to settle. The constitution of the order is very simple. The primary body is the subordinate lodge. Five per- sons are necessary to constitute a lodge to entitle It is even asserted, but not on oficial authority that I can learn, that the inspiration comes from the Tuil- eries, because a gentleman from Paria haa been the chief advocate among the Dominican merchants of non-annexation. The counter plan looks to the confederation of Cuba, Hayti, Porto Rico and Jamaica, possibly, un- der a European recognition which shall amount to an oficient protection of the Republic of the Antilles. it is thought here that such @ pressure could be brought upon Spain by France, Engiand and other toa private company the public domain and ful use of all harbor privileges within the ceded dis- trict; but from the day Santana saw an American negotiation cut off and abandoned at European dic- tation that single-idead old Indian lost all faith in Yankee courage or statesmanship.

If the Dominican repubiic will renounce the idea of annexation to the United States and declare the ports of Samana and Monte Christo free and neutral ports, valuable aid and countenance will be rendered the Baez government through a nk which parties stand ready te establish, taking the minjag rents as a secarity forthe loan now in abeyance. The mere discussion of annexation has fl for the relief of Baez, coming up as it did contempo- raneously with the Cuban revolution. It became evi- dent to the alert consular agents of Europe that the tadiwinistraion would have the power to add three isiangs— . _Hayttand Porto Rico—to the Union, whether Purope was pieased or not ; no nation on the other side of the water would venture assisted by those of other Kuro intriguing with Santana and the extinction of the as an American State and its reconversion into a Spanish colony. On this, three persons of high official position wrote to their old friend Caz- neau; that if he could not return to St. .

Mr. Seward flatly refused to receive him as the En- voy of a republic which he and the Spanish Minister were pleased to style non-existent, In vain Mr. Pujol asked that his instructions might be read un- oficially. They proffered Samana as a naval station in free gift to the United States and proposed to waive official recognition until our government should satisfy itself that the restored republic was de facto the Power in possession of the Dominican terntory. Not even an hour’s interview would Mr. Seward grant for the private, unoficial review of the situation, The influence and the interests of Spain ruled supreme in the Department of State. Samana and the Dominican mission was ignored in 1844-5 by the Washington Cabinet on the theory that none but negroes should rule this island. Ten years later Samana and the Dominican mission was again rejected on the theory that ean alone ought to rule it. In neither case did the dogma that “Americans must rule America” receive any con- sideration at Washington. Pujol returned to St, Domingo full of surprise at “the coldness and ignor- ance evinced at Washington on every point of inter- American relations,’ but contident at the same time that “a nobler wisdom would yet reign at the great capital of the American system.” In effect his irre- pressibie Cuban friends soon found means to bring the question of the Antilles to the personal notice of President Johnson, from whom the offer of Samana as a naval station had been, strangely enough, care- fully concealed. That curious episode—a remark. able chapter of secret history fo itseif—must stand over to another day; but out of it came Secretary Seward’s sudden visit to the Antilles. In the course of the trip he had a personal interview with Prest- dent Baez and that led to important consequences. Secretary Seward from that period saw and ac- cepted the great idea, which he had never before recognized, that the United States government owed to its own honor to enter into a line of policy more in accordance with the American character. In- stead, however, of accepting Samana—twice offered him in well nigh free gift—ne insisted on paying $7,000,000 for the little rocks of St. Thomas and St. John. How that affair is ending is now public his- vory; but his extraordinary coquetting with the Samana qaestion remains to be told, He found as sharp a fencer m the Dominican Baez as he was Dimself, and instead of making renown for himself and a magnificent series of jobs for his friends he a Schr Mary Clark, Caswell, Rockland.

Schr M P’Smith, Waite, New Bedford, After twice refusing to entertain the friendly over- tures of the Dominican repubiic to take the Mc- Clellan site for & naval station for nothing, or there- about, Mr. Seward accepted the aay of the Cabral Cabinet at a high rent, and his son, the As- sistant Secretary of State, presented himself sat St Domingo to conclude the arrangement. He was met by the secret but strenuous opposition of all the friends of Baez, and very many of his own party who saw in the cession of Samana a fatal dismem- berment of the republic and a chaos of anarchy for all the rest of its territory. Mr. Fred Seward went without Samana, but not feat 3 after was followed to Washington by the envoy of Cabral, fully empowered to close close the bargain for Samana on Mr. Seward’s terms. Cabral was at his last hour. The whole country had declared for Baez and against the Cabral-Seward plan of dismemberment, but no other would be en- tertained at Washington.
