double quantity waa planted io norn, bat tbere
will be no more than last year. The geueral
prospect of all the crops in Louisiana and Mis?
sissippi is good, but danger to cotton from
the army worm and rot, where the growth is
rank, is threatened, owing to excessive rains,
and, if not damaged, the crop will equal last
year's.

EAST, CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TEXAS.
The following is a report of this district, em?
bracing the Natchez, Trinity, Brazos and Col?
orado Valleys; also some of. the best upland
counties in the State, covering the'better part
of the cotton, corn and sugar-growing country,
but only a small portion of the wheat region.
It also reaches as far west as San Antonio, tak?
ing in Guadalupe, Cornal and San Antonio Val?
leys; ... 1 '
Cotton-A little less was planted than last
year; the yield promises a third to a half more;
the prospect for maturing is excellent, but not
safe as yet from the worm, which has appeared
in a few localities; the weather is warmer than
usual, with less Tain, and otherwise favorable;
half a crop is considered almost certain in
the most untoward event. 8ome localities
report mora rain ami well-grounded fears
bi the worm ; others, that the nrospect is
better 'than in...Aye. years. "Corn-The
same amount was planted as last year; it suf?
fered from drought early in the season, and the
yisld is perhaps an eighth less, abd of good
quality,- Potatoes-The yield will be about a
Karter more, and the quality good. WM??T
ss was sown this year, and the yield is even
worse than lost;; new seed has been ordered in
considerable quantities from the Northwest,
with a view to try the effect next year. Sugar
Less was planted, but it promises well; from a
quarter to a third more yield is expected from
the amount planted. " Hay-Especially io the
vicinity of San Antonio, where it is in demand
for government use, there- is a large crop, and
the quality is good; the total yield will be about
a quarter more than last year. Peaches-This
yeat'a yield-is probably the largest?ever raised
tn Texas; last year's was almost a total failure;
other fruits are ? abundant; the grape and wine
crop is large-urobably half more than last
rear. Peas and Ptrmpkins-The yield will be
about a quarter more than last year. Sor?
ghum-About a quarter more is expected than
last year. Vegetables-The yield is abundant
md the quality good. The general prospect
promises rene? irom the effect-of the partial
failures of the last two ye nra. .

On Monday tho session was opened at half
past ten A. M. After the' reading of thepro
tocal. Brother Dr. E. F. Friodleiu rose and ad?
dressed the president in an. eloquent speech in
the German language. The whole assemblage
seemed to anticipate that the speaker was
about.to present a case of importance, and
therefore listened with undivided attention and
anxiety. Surprise and joy were soon pic?
tured on all faces when he announced the
presence ol Brothor Willia u Benau, presently
Iustice of peace at Cincinnati, Ohio, at the
ulL. the same who, with tho.late.Brother.
Henry Jones, and several others, had laid
the foundation of tho Order. -The honored
brother was immediately invited by the
President to take a Beat on the ph'.form, to
where he was conducted by the prominent
brethren, Dr. E. F. Friedlein, Dr. J. Bondi,
Ph. W. Frank and. M. Felsenthal, of New Ha
VBn. Conn., having been appointed to do so by
the President. The whole assembly rose,
deeply touched, from their seats, when the
gentleman ascended the platform. Tho Chair?
man directed a brief address to the honored
guest, which the latter responded to in a man
per which gave evidence of the true feelii
brotherly love which had prompted the fo
era ot this Ord^r to establish this grand i
tution devoted only to harmony, brotherly
and benevolence. This incident was dc
less one of the most imposing that had
transpired during the session of the con
tion.
The provision to. opon the proceedings
prayer was discussed, and it was resolved
prayer should only be offered by a memb(
the Cun ven tion, and that it be the same as
used in opening Lodges.
Granillaskir Bien read his report of the
year. -
This being concluded, the organization
sixth district,, embracing the States of Bib
Wisconsin and Michigan, which last year
been rejected bv the Constitutional Gi
Lodge held in Philadelphia, was discussed
? W?3 finally agreed to authorize the offl
of the former Grand Lodge to execute andu

: fi Now arose Brother Bien, and as ohairmot
the Committee on the. Constitution, be prop
Od to submit a preliminary report. .
; Immediately thereafter Brother Bien, on 1
half of the Committee on the Constitution,
! ported that he was instructed by the comn
? tee to ask the sensa of the Convention whetl
a CpnstitutioDal Grand /Lodge should be'
tained,- and that.the committee could not p
: ceed without such an. expression by the Ci
j vention. ' This brought the differences of op
: ion underlying the whole action of the Convi
tion on the new constitution into promio?
light. : Several speeches were again, made, a
the matter waa decided by jeaa and nays
?ga?nst 27-that, a Constitutional Grand L d
be retained; and without a division it was fi
'.her agreed that the committee reporta p
vision for a central board bf executive office
to bo io the service during.the interval betwe
the meetings of the Grand Lodge.
Some conditional restrictions ia regard
.th? establishment of Lodges were adoptt
especially'one which waB offered by the ext
ri en cod Br. Wasch, of tho New York Lodge, >
1; some.others, however, were rejected.
It was agreep to by forty-six against twenl
'seven .'votes, ..that a Constitutional Led

On Thursday afternoon, tho 23d July, tl
?grandConcert Summernight'sfestival andr
.union, given in honor of the.delegates to tl
Convention by the First District of tbe Orde
took place at the beautifully situated Lion Be
yedere Park.
Br. Greeneb?um proceeded to discuss tw
propositions:
, "What does the Order of B'nai B'rith assun
to do ?"
The Older of B'nai B'rith being a croat unie
of earnest men, daily increasing in numbe
who, of their own free. will- and accord, unit
for the -purpose cf mutually enhancing bot
their-temporal and spiritual welfare, as ano
ionization assumes to inculcate genen
principles, which each member is expected I
apply as the rul? and guide of his conduct i
aU the various situations of life.
.'These principles are of a ch ai ac ter that
faithful and thorough application of the sam
would make the life conduct of the individu:
exemplary and unexceptional in all its detail
and if generally carried out by all men. jvoul
render earth an Eden, would establish uno
earth everywhere the.kingdom of God! W
would need no houses of correction, neithe
jails nor State prisons, no criminal courts, n
standing ??rmiea, no revolutions. AU nation
would dwell together in-unity, and the Bovei
eign 'will of the people be respected ever]
where. The homo inflaenco in each househol
would bo all-sufficient to prompt children to b
uncompromising in their devotion, to .trntt
and'every man would meet his fellow man upo
the lefel of "Benevolence, Brotherly Love' an
Harmony.''
. This is the-"motto" of 'ie Ordor, and mus
actuate the member in meeting his brothe
even in a more extended sense of the woid
"All men are brothers." Not desiring, to b
considered visionary in our ideas, we dec lar
emphatically that we do not expect to see th
happy time of the millenium, even by the cloe
of the enlightened nineteenth century, nor ye
by two thousand, but we do insist th%t man
kind at large is . advanoing in civilization am
culture, and that the individual must not retan
tho development of the grand whole by neglect
ing his personal,' moral 'and intellectual im
provemeut.
The object of the Order is to stimulate
members in their moral and intellectual im
Srove.i:ent. This the Order does ; this thc
rder has done. IL bas taught its member
self-reliance,' encouraged him to industry, sim
pli ci t y and watchfulness. It has pointed' out t<
them the only trae path to self-respect, thi
basis of all earthly happiness.
From tbe vast storehouse, divine revelatior
of human experience, moral philosophy ant
established scientific principles, an infallibli
compound has been. prepared, which awakem
the initiated member to a iroper appreciator
of his wants-the wants of both his body am
: of his mind ; it makes him fully conscious a
the duties he owes to himself and to bis fe!
low-man, and nerves him for the struggle foi
huth end right, and. for the final victory ovei
superstition enj error. . .
The philanthropic soul throbs with emo
" tiona or joy in beholding men-of -mature acre,
men rion with the experience, pf riper years,
masters Of science and of art, doctors of law,
of theology, of medicino and of philosophy,
devoted in their attachment to the Order it
members, iso that by force of example they
stimulate the young men to place themselves
Under the harmoniously educating influences
of the sublime Order of B'nai B'rith. In this
sentence the self-imposed tusk of the Older is
fully revealed. It seek-i to further the har?
monious development of the intellectual
powers and qujlifications of heart ot its mem?
bers, and in this way it pro., oses to furnish
its quota to the arms of a godlike humanity.
The ouject is a noble outs. May Goa's ble B
ing speed its realization 1
Proposition No. 2--Ia not the Order of ii'nai
B'rith a Jewish organization; IB it not as such
of a denominational character, and having for
its object other than purely religious purpose-,
how. can the organization be justified?"
This proposition, often urged by the oppo?
nents of the Order, contains ono erroneous
statement. An'organization of Jews as such
is not necessarily of a denominational charac?
ter, no more so than an organization of Chris?
tians would be. The Jews have not always
boen, and are not now, one denomination.
There is not now a religious Head with Jews;
each congregation is independent of all others,
and each Israelite is sovereign, and
unaccountable to any one but God for
bis religious ? convictions and observ?
ances. Time has beeu when common op?
pression and common pcrsecutious have
united all Israelites in ono common hope, in
common religious longings and aspirations;
now, however, the time of relictions persecu?
tions has passed away, and with it tbe false
I notions which it engendered, the hope of a
return to Jerusalem, entertained by some; the
rebuilding of the templo, entertained by
others; the coming reign of a Mes?i'b from
the bouse of David, still prayed for by ome of
the sons of Israel, all t J ese" have ceased to bo
a test of Judaism. Any superstructure oused
upon such theories has a very questionable
foundation indeed. " ? Hear Israel, tho Lord
thy God is One," and the logical deduction :
''Ad men are brothers," express the only test
of Judaism. Jerusalem is everywhere, where
tho wondrous works of Naturi proclaim the
glory of God-Mimisrach Shem:sh ad meboo,
mehuital shem Adonot.
. This is not a new idea. Permit me to re
cite an event in history which occurred nearly
a century before the birth of the founder of
the Christian religion : Hillel, the chief presi?
dent of the then existing Sanhedrin, and by
virtue of his official position, as, well as hui
eminent learning and piety, one of the
weightiest authorities on Judaism, one dav
was called on by a non-Israelite, who stated
that he would become a Jew if Hillel could
teach him the whole of Judaism while ho
would stand on one toot. Hillel replied: "Do
toothers as you wish to be done by; all other
laws of Judaism are only amplifications of this
principle."
Tnisis thegreat humanitarian principle upon
which the Order of B'nai ?'rith has built its
foundation ; upon it Israelites unite, not as
Orthodox Jews, or Beform Jews, or Moderate
Reformers, but simply as individuals, aa Israel?
ite 3. Thus united, as members of the Order,
they are together ascending, onward and up?
ward to the highest pinnacle of God's moun?
tain, where they expect to arrive at some future
day, in common witn all nations from every di?
rection. Then sh ali be established .the "Be
public of the Intellect;" slavery of the mind in
every form be abolished, and the whole human
family be reconstructed upon the eternal and
immutable laws of a'spiritual God, one, indi?
visible and universal 1 ,
Let no one attempt to impede the progress of |
the onward moving column!
On Friday, July 24. the Convention assembled
at 10 A. M. and took a recess until 1 P. M.,
when the Convention went into secret session
to consider the report on the ritual.
At half-past 1 the doors were opened again,

opened at half-past 9 A. M., wi tb the usual
Lodge prayer.
After several members had taken the floor on
the subject of the eligibility of members, the
President, Br. A. Moses, rose from the chair,
and spoke in favor of the most extensive ap?
plication of a liberal principle, excluding. every
distinction within the Order on religious prin?
ciples.
The Independent Order B'nai B'rith, having
taken upon itself the mission of uniting the
sons of Israel in the sacred work of promoting
tire highest interests of humanity, Ac, was
adopted.
On Monday, the 27th, the last session took
place.
The principal business in order was the elec?
tion of the Executive Committee for the ensu?
ing term of five years between .this and the
next Convention. The following members' were

Felsenthal, Chicago, LL, district No, 6,
The nett meeting of the Convention of the
Order will convene on the lost Sunday m Jan?
uary, 1874, in Chicago. Invitations had
been received from all the cities, in which
are situated District Grand Lodges, to hold
the Convention of 1874 within their walls:
Chicago had token the lead in this composi?
tion, but even the far off San Francisco had
offered its hospitality,urging .that the great
Pacific Railroad would be finished at that
fini6, and promising other facilities of trans?
port. Cincinnati and Philadelphia had fol?
lowed the example, and Br. S. Wolf announc?
ed that the national capital, Washington,
would likewise feel honored: to welcome thc
Convention in ItB walls, and provide for their
worthy reception.
After the secret session, under suspension
of the rules a committee was appointed com?
posed of Brothers Dr. S. Waterman, B. F.
Peixotto, ?. Brandeis, M. Arnberg and M.
Loewensteiu, with the instruction to perfect
the Bitual within sixty days, and report the
same to the Executive Comm.ttee.
A resolution of thanks was passed, and
cheers were given for the Grand Lodge of Dis?
trict No. 1, in acknowledgment of the cordial
reception and the brotherly entertainment they
had given to the Convention, and all its mem?
bers especially.
The President hereupon proceeded to the
closing of the Convention. With touching
words he referred to the work done by the
body, in completing a reformed, aud liberal,
constitution of the Order, ind after expressing
his thanks for the personal distinction con?
ferred upon him a-J their presiding officer, he
closed tbs proceedings with a fervent prayer
to the Almighty God, our common Heavenly
Father;

HOKEY HAUEST.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of Saturday,
August 15, says :
Money shows indications of an early change to?
ward a higher rate of interest For the moment,
rates continue at 3a5 per cont, on call; but there ls a
general feeling among the banka in favor ot putting
np the rate 1 per cent., which ls likely to be carried
into effect at the beginning of next week. The West?
ern banks, especially those of Cincinnati, are calling
booie their deposits, and it is estimated that about
j three million dollars ot currency, chiefly bank notes,
have been sent to that section within the past week;
which ls a pretty active opening of tho crcp de?
mand.
The banks show rather more firmness upon dis?
counts, and it is proved difficult to resonate prime
four months' paper at better than 7 per cent.
