The Ancient And Accepted Rite In America.

THE ANCIENT AND ACCEPTED RITE IN AMERICA .

From ( lie Few York Sunday Evening Courier . THE NORTIIERX SUPEEME COUNCIL . There is an old adage , tho truth of which is generall y admitted , that " a house divided against itself cannot stand . " "Unless the present unhappy state of affairs existing among those who some two years since were members of what has been generally known as the "

Supreme Grand Council of Sovereign Grand Inspectors General , 33 rd Northern Jurisdiction " U . S . A . " prove an exception , we grately fear that old adage will be again verified , and the divisions and quarrels , daily increasing in gravity , prove but the prelude to a final and total collapse . It is , indeed , a matter to be regretted , that brethren of

such excellent Masonic and social jiosition , and claiming to be the custodians of the pure and benoficient teachings of exalted Masonry , should have turned their hitherto peaceful sanctuary into an arena for the display of personal assaults and character-detracting vituperation , and yet the very official documents which have appeared in our columnsemanating from both sections

, of this divided household , conclusively prove , that the principal motto of Ineffable Masonry has been reversed , and instead of " Order" being " brought out of Chaos , " " Chaos" has kicked "Order" out of doors . A few months since we published , inextenso , the address of 111 . Brother Edward A . Eaymond , as Sov . Grand Commander of one' section of those composing the former

Council , but claiming to be the true and legitimate continuation of that body ; in which charges of the most serious nature were freely made against the good name and fame of a majority of his old associates : in the

interim we have published counter proclamations and edicts , emanating- from those Illustrious brethren who claimed to have lawfully and constitutionally deposed Bro . Eaymond , declaring all his acts invalid , and his continued exercise of power a usurpation . "We have now before us a document , entitled a " Statement of facts , " over the signature of 111 . Bro . the Bev .

Albert Case , of Boston , covering twenty-one pages , octavo , in which as " Ass ' t Gr . Sec . Gen . BE . E . for the North Jurisdiction U . S . A ., " he reviews , in language as forcible as it is possible to use , the Address of 111 . Bro . Eaymond . " Early in November , says Bro . Case , " I obtained a pamphlet entitled ' Minutes of proceedings of the

Supreme Council , * * * Northern Jurisdiction , " & c , in which I find an address prepared for Edward A . Eaymond , and purporting to have been read by him in a Sovereign Grand Consistory on the 22 nd of May , 1861 , at which time he represents himself as G . Commander of a Supreme Council , and this , too , some days after he had been deposed from that officeand a distinguished

, Inspector General , of Ohio , elected in his stead . " On perusing this pamphlet . I learned it was a record of tho proceedings of a body Eaymond bad for months been organizing , and that now , having formally seceded from the legitimate Council , which had deposed him , he throws oft the mask and declares the spurious body he had formed the Supreme Council .

"The adress breathes a spirit of virulent hostility to tho Council and brethren he had left , denouncing and nullifying the former and disfranchising the latter—page after page declaring things hitherto unknown , perverting matters of history and record , to blind , deceive and mislead the brotherhood . "

Bro . Case , after stating that , during many of the years referred to by Bro . Eaymond , he had recorded the proceedings of the Supreme Council , prepared them for the press , and superintended the publication thereof , under Bro . Eayniond ' s direction and that of Secretary General 31 oore , proceeds to expose the " many assertions in that Address which have no colouring of truth , " and which should bo " denounced as errofieons .
