During the ek a new order and de- gree of Masonr, been established within #his state, the headquarters of which will be this city. The order is known as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. The Hrst sveds of this branch of masonry were sown in this state about three years ago, and since that time t have been germinating, sprouting and growing until during the past week they have borne fruit, the harvest of which was gathered last Thursday in_the intiation of about eighty members and the installu- tion of the ofticers of the new lodge, A s OF THE ORDER The ancient epted Scottish Kite, while not claiming that its origin_is lost in the mist of antiquity, trace the history of its most important grades, in an organized form, back into the preceding century, and in a de tuched form to the fourteenth’ century. It is the most universal of all the rites of free- masonry. It numbers among its members a multivude of the most intelligent and re nowned wen of every country where fr musonry is known and practiced In 1725 The ancient accepted Scottish Rite of masoury was first instituted in Fruance under thé name of the Rite of Per- fiction, consisting of twenty-five degrees, the last one being that of Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret, corresponding to the pres- ent 82d degree, In 1507: Th ancient and accepted United States of Amer and dependencies, emanating from the grand orient of was organized and established i N city by 111 Bro. Joseph Cerneau, th commissioned deputy inspector g the grand orient of Frauce, and on the of May, 1812, the supreme council of sover- cigm grand inspector general of the 33d degree for the United States of America, their territories and _dependencies was opened with high honors of Masoury in of New York, with its numbers of ofticers complete, and notice thereof, with copics of the patents under which it w. ated, were duly sent to all the known suprein masonic bodies of the world, which was fol lowed by the most ample recognitions, which have nevel . In 1813 a of the Charleston council, York, and observing the suc preme council of 1812 al proceeded to communicate the grades to one J.J.J. Gourgas (who became secret. ) and n others, and to organize the so-calied srthern council; it prospered fairly until 1817, when it dissolved. In 1848 it was resurrected by the old secretary J. J, J. Gourgas. In 1860 a split of the so-called northern council into two factions occurred. ie order experienced anumber of important changes during the years from 1512 to 1844, but its officers and members were alway firm and true to their work as the great su s of the order up to the present tune shows. In 1844: The grand commandery of Knights Templar of Ohio, adopted section 13, article 1, statutes, acknowledging ‘‘the Supreme Council 882 Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.” upreme council then in the United States was that of l"ll. to which these bodies owe allegiance. In 1881: This supreme council of 1812 elected the Lieutenant Grand Commander lustrious Brother Hopking Thompson as grand commander, and since that_time ihe rite has been steadily growing and prosper- g, north and south,cast and west, knowing 10 north nor no south. It is opposed to all forms of absolutism or one-man power. It is opposed to all doctrine that infringes on each individual's right to liberty of thonght und conscience, which gives him the right to worship with what church, or belong to what rite he may choose. This rite is governed by & republican constitution and its government is 4 representative one; all the ofiicers are elected. THE ORDER 1 BRASKA.
