The Anniversary of St. John, the Evangelist, was celebrated by the Masonic Fraternity of our Village, in a magnificent supper, on Monday evening last. Tho supper was provided by the hostess of the Marshall House, Mrs. Mays, in her best style, and was discussed with due appreciation by some fifty persons?Masons and invited guests. Over ono of the tablen lirPNirfod Afr -T V P nnPnn <I>1> VV M., and over tho o'her Col. G. McD MiMer, P. W. M.,?assisted by Col. Kobertson, Judge Hill, of tho Probate Court, II. S. Kerr, and other prominent Masons. Among tho invited guests present were Mr. P.urt, and Gen MeGowan. It was a social re-union worthy to rank witk the best of Christmas festivals, where mirth and good fellowship?song and sentiment, lent their varied attractions to the rich exuberance of tho feast.

In spite of the wet ami ! dipagreeable weather there has been i a large attendance of freedmen, who; for the most part have conducted j xnemsoives quietly and orderly. There | has been the usual amount of gunpowder burnt, but without an}* injury, we believe, to life or limb. In the way of festivities, wo have had the Masonic Celebration here?at Due West, a Concert and other amuBemonts?at Cokcsbury a very successful supper and Christmas tree; and we suppose everywhere throughout the District a feast ?f good things to remind one of the day, and to do] justice to its pleasant associations.

[The following editorial was-pfrepar-" ed last -week, but deferred, by request :] Wo leurn that at a Into meeting of tho Directors of the G. & C. I?. R-, held in Columbia, a proposition to lease the road for n number of years was made by certain Northern Capitalists. Through the kindness of a friend, we are enabled to give tho terms of this proposition, which we append below. Its acceptance involved the necessity of calling a meeting of tho stockholders, and we regret that some difficulties growing out of I tho subject, has led to its withdrawal. We still hope that this or some similar arrangement may be made by which |Northern skill, o. terprise and capital,! , may be directed, in this most efficient! | mode of stimulating our industry, and developing our resources. j What is it that these Capitalists j proposed to do ??to pay the iloating debt oi tho Comtmnv. and keen down I j the interest on the founded debt? to] j buy up the Stock, at 82 per share? j jto replace the light iron of tho road j with heavy "T" iron?to improve the rolling stock?to build a telegraph line along tho road?to reduce the freight and passage rates 20 per cent. ?in bhort as stated in tho annexed letter of their agent, to expend in two years, upon the road, ono half mill- j 'ion more than the revenue of the j road. Wo learn also that it was in j ! tho contemplation of these erenllonnMi I I * ? 1 I j to extend tho connections of the roar! j |?perhaps by building a branch to j j Washington, Ga., on tho West, and . to Chester on tho East?in fact to do! j all for it that capital directed by skill and energy could effect. Should this or some similar propojsition not bo'accepted? Would ili not ba to the interest of tho slock hoi-j dors themselves to soil out at ?2 per share ? Even if it involved a sacrifice in this particular, would it not be j amply compensated, by the appreciation of those greater 'interests which! belong to the stockholders as owners! !of real estate, and property holders! otherwise? Who shall -set limits to | the benefits which would result from j tho infusion of unlimited capita! and ! unbounded energy into an enterprise! of this character. How much would i it not do to stimulate industry at home, and to attract capital from abroad?to encourage emigration?to enhance tho valuo of our lands?to give a new impetus to business of alt; kinds?to foster every material interest?to lay wide anu deep the_for.u-' dalions of our future growth. Come whenco they may, wo welcome into our midst, foreign skill, energy and capital. As business men, as patriot?, and philanthropists, we extend to 1 them our most cordial welcome, most ardent S3*mpnthy and earucHt co-operatives. The following is, a Memorandum of tho proposition to^ lease the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road by Thop. A. Scott, President Pennsylvania Central Rail Road, and Henry Clews Banker, New York. 1st. To leaso the Road for 20 or 25 years. 2nd. To pay tho interest on the enure lundecL debt of the company and to continue to pay it promptly an it matures during the lease, also to paj7- the floating debt of tho company at the time tho lease commences. 3d. To buy all the stock offered" within one year from tho date of the jcommencement of the lease at two dollars per share cash. 4th. To tako up and relay all the light Iron on the Road (say about G5 miles) with T Rail of not less weight than 50 lbs to tho yard, within two years from the commencement of the lease, and to relav all the balnnpn nf j the road when needed with similar iron. 5th. To improve tho condition of the rolling stock of the road, within one year, and make it equal to the requirements of the road, and to keep it up to tho improved condition during the lease. Gtb, To build a telegraph line along the entire line; as soon as it can be done alter the commencement of the lease, or within one year, provided a charter for tho same, with the necessary legislation, can be obtained from jtho Legislature. | 7th. To rcduce the rates of freight j and passage at once 20 per cent, below present rates, and not to increase it above that reduced rate during the lease. 8th. To deposit a snfflciont amount of bonds and stocks with the company, or in place agreed upon, as security for tho faithful and prompt carry iug out of the contract or leaso. 9th. To run the road regularly during the term, and to turn it over to the company at the termination of it, in its improved condition, copt Columbia, December 17, 1869. Col. H. P. Hammttt?Dear Silt; I understand that your Board does not heartily accord with the proposition to Jease the Greenville Road, ^a*wl also that more favorably propositions than the one X submitted could be obtained in case a lease was deemed advisable. [ The proposition made on behalf oi myself and associates, was made in good faith alter a oareful consideration of the whole subjeot, and, as you must now be well satisfied, the party 1 represented had ample means to fulfllall thev proposed. . \3rhe poUey thej deemed .necessary tcfm^jt^vdrnr. tOatf'^ahiabl/ t^Tths .i community and profitable to the res sees, involved t'ao expondituro of not less tban half a million dollars, in ex* cess of tho revenue, within two yean*, and-1 made tbo most liberal proposi- ' tion I can make within the scope of my authority. I considered two dollars per 6bare for tho stock its outside valne, and cannot offer more.
