To tbe Ministers o. the Gospel in Georgia. Dear Brethren :—At the last BCBsi >n of the Grand Lodge, I. O. G. T , of Georgia,' the undersigned were appointed acoinmitte to p>e pare a short apped to you in behalf of the “Temperance Reform.” 'I here a-e reasons which miyh b • u>gi*d against the perfor nance of tne and ty thus assigned- We can easi ! y imagine whit may be said l>y" those who may be in, lined to criti cise and condemn nur action. But other and stronger reasons induce us to comply with the request of the GjandJL dye; reasons; gia-e, earn est a"d convincing in their charac er —reasons, commanding in their in fluence*© er our judgment, off con science and our sympathies. In the spirit of love, then, and not arroga ting.to ourselves superior virtue, or the right to diciute, we entreat your personal and active co-opera'inn in ,the efforts of the Good T mplars to arrest the,evils of intemperance in our e. Not to nfentiori the gfji-vnys evils which it inflicts upon every relation in life, ii sorely is enough for .us to say to .you that in temperance obstructs the prog-es- of r.e]jgic,p. ffefilps tjte purity of the Cluircb, invades the panct ty of the pulpit, and deprives good men of the fuff npeasure of influence they ’ might exert fur the happiness and P'tlvjti ion of .those around them. It makes ye outrage upon t lie temporal welfare of our race, it makes mcr clmodiseot immortal souls, consign ing them to that state of hardness and impenitence who-'C end is etc nal tie nit. In some places the Sa loons are doing more to deatoy a large class ol youths and young men that; all the clmri bes are doing to save ,their. These places of tempta tiyn con-tituie the broad gateway to vice and ruin. Through this gate way thousands aie constanty throng ing. They come not alone from the ranks of the openly wicked, hut born Christian families, irom Sab bath schools and Ijom churches. Shall wo not put forth the most earnest efforts to shut this broul gateway, to close up these h um sos vice, to overthrow this agency of Satan, so nubtl • and so potent in leading tlr se throngs to destruction? Thro 'git this agency our dear, st interests lor time and eternity are constantly menaced, imperiled, and ruthlessly sacrificed. Aga nst it all, tlie moral elements of society should be arrayed in an unceasing warfare. In tins great conflict, Clpistians must lead. The whole history of tin; Temperance Reform shows this. “\yiietev; r the moral power of a being fbu'oh hue been earnestly ex pried against iufemperatn e, there the progress of ref >rifi has beep uni form, and of'en glorious.” But who shall lead the churches ! You, brethren in the ministry, you m;;st lead m tilts as in every other good work. Your position a id your repu tation lor piety and yyigdom give y hi great influence. The placi s are fcjy ip wlffcli the Temperance Reform prospers in the face of an indifferent anti inactive ministry. If it be said that mini ters canq «t afford the time and strength ne< esv sary lor this work, we would cam. estly ask the question, “will their time and strength he equal to their work if temperance effort be nog lected, if tbe tide of intemperance shall become yet deeper and wider? The Christian Is>l:njster labo-s at a great tlisadvatvage in an intemperate communry. His bret efforts are cripph and and neutralized it he has mentb-rs to the sale and use ol intoxicating liquors as a b verage. His congregation may be large and wealthy, but if this evil goes unie buked and urn lucked in tin ir midst the moral power ol pastor and peo ple will he sadly weakened, if no 1 entirely r.etffioyr and. 7’lte earnest pgstor, who ent. rs heartily into this work of rescuing the la]l.en, and saving the young, will multiply his opportunities for dfting gpqd. and greatly augment l)is influence a.* a religious p> aclter. Rev N> jyptan Hall sttys ol fnmsejf, “He p< y. r Itgard that his ministry has been li ss acceptable on account p< lis teototalism, but be does know that it Ijas been much more gp to many.

With all the earue-tness and epiphas’s we can command, and with t'te flpepcst conviptiou ol its we close our appeal with this exhortation ; “L-'t every pastor write it dqwn in the pirn of his work, I will not neglect the souls that are in peril of being lost by int< nipcrjttpe, but will do what I can to reclaim the fatten, to save the young, and to lead on the Church of God to the greatest efficiency in this woik.” R.

The favor w ith wh'ch our s tgges tions as to the necessity for gather ing the vital statistics <>f Geprgia is. meeting,'vs very gratifying tojjs, as we dou|?t not it i* to the tn-di< al men of the State, apd tp all wb » f el an in erest in the subject. The dis cussion of this questi n opens pp a very wide nnd fruitful, field. Asa panitary m.easure, tbe regis'ra’ipn of m-niages, births and d;aths—to gether with jthe diseases producing the Ijx'ter—woiffd be pf ,incalcolahle servicp, not only to medical sc.i' nce, ■. bpt tp this practicable ueedg iff the, State. We have pod >obt that the. figures of such regi-tration, tabula ted, analyzed and intelligently, com mented upon, from time to time, would do more tovvqu'd attracting im migration to this Stale than- all th - pamphlets bat could be circulated We are certiin spelt tables would shpw a range pf longevity and _ general healtbfulness enjoyed by few other States in the Uuion. as well as : a t astonishing ab-enee of nearly all those dis'-ases which prove so fatal to the people north and rorlh west. It is true tfcere would be a preponderance of tpalpud diseases, hut every medical man knows thai diseases of that character are it uch moie atnenab'e to intelligent than any o'her known to practice. We a;e of the opinion, too', that accurate registration will show that fever dis eases of a pulmonary character orig ina e in middle, southern and souths west Georgia titan even in the favor ed climate of Florida, an.l we are borne o <r t in this by die ol>setva“on and experience of some of out most int ll'gent physicians. The Columbus Enquirer, in en dorsing and approving the plan, sueg' Sta that it may not he ncce.-sa ry to incur the expen e of commis sioners'atten'd-ng specially to such statistics, and *ays the tax a.-ses-mrs could collect the nas easily as they can other sta isiical information or the ordinaries might be required to report them l.p the comptroller who could tabulate tJjein with other county statistics. The suggesi'oa is a good one, and we doubt not it will tail easily with in' the plans pf those who pro etlr gag' and in studying tfie subjects in all its details. It is not enough bnvvevi r that the hare smti-tics should be gathered and tabulated. This it is true is the most laborious part of tbe work, bpt it is by no means the most imiiQfiant. Once collected, these statistics, in order that they may prove of benefit either to med ics] science or to tbe g< neral public at large, shop Iff be arranged, ana lyze I pnd commented upon by estate board of health, to he compose I of medical men—men who would he gffnl Jto engage in the work as a labor of love. The bogrd, in our opinion, should b" composed of one pliy-ician Irom each large city in the State, and one from each congres-ional dis trict at large. The Comptroller- General and the State Geologist should also be lpembers ofthe b >ard Thp only item of csi in all this will he the nece-sity of employing a sec re'gry, wfip shall have fijs desk in the offf e of the comptroller general, under vyhose direction lie vyill pre pare the statist cs for final digestion by the hoard. All this seeips leasts l>!e enough, and we trust to see the meas re meet with the warm sup port, not only of our State exchanges, but of our legislators.— Sav. Kews Hon. A. H Step ens on the Situation. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times gives the so low* ing sketch of an interview with Hon. A. H. Stephens of Georgia: When asked what he thought of the chances of electing a Democrat President of 1870, Mr. Stephens an swered that that depended ukogeih* er upon ihe conduct of the next House of Representatives, and upon the policy pursu' and by the Democrat ic press, and the 1- adini> men of the party. When asued if he di 1 not. think the Democr.cy had pursu and a winning policy since the eection, Mr. Stephens sad : “No ; not alto gether. Mistakes have been mad'-.” He then referred to an editorial in a New York paper, which declared that the next President would one ol t\yp mi ti men'i ned and said such a publjpari >n was, in Ins opinion, a great ini-take. It was not only fa tal to the men thus prematurely nominated, but made capital lor the othef side. He illustrated this by telinig < f his yigit to a melon paten when a bov, when lie plugged the most promising iruit, but the plug ged uielpns, he said, invariably rot ted before they ripened, With regard to the third term and the Louisiana questi n, Mr. Stephens feels th .t he has been seriously mis represented. His only aim thiough put has been to prevent the Demo cratic party Iron making foolish is sues, There is nothing in the con stitution, he said, forbidding a third term, and he did not think the ques tion is one we are called upon to and s cuss now. He reviewed the Louis iana case and adhered to bis previ ously expressed opinion that Giant could not ha e acted ol bet .wise than as he did. Everything wa< in such confusion in that State that it w.s impossible to siy who had been elected, and when Congress assem ble 1 the Presid- nt left it to and al with th-; problem- “It,” said Mr. Ste phen-’, “the Democratic party go before the .country on the issue that Grant i« a usurper ih?y wdl certain ly ibe defeated. There has not been within my recollection a Pr sident so loath to exercise doubt ful powers.’ Mr. ..S. here referred to jGiantJe dec'aratien that he has no policy to enforce against the will of the peo ple. GtOiGU. Her Prospects as a Manufacturing State. Had Georgia the population of New Englapd iii proportion to area, and people, p larger share u: energy and business tact, iber.e is no good reaßdih \yhy _pne bale of raw cp'ton should leave her borders. As J have shown, the water power which can be employed is unlimited. One third of tbe State is covered with virgin 'forest, from which can be de rived every variety of timber for building and pianuiacturing purpo ses. The summer heat is not exees si e, and in winter the thermometer rarely falls ’below 4-5 degrees. The laborer.dependei't upcui water pow.- istl/u? enabled to work every day to the year. As already stated la bpr, white and black, is cheap here; yet owing to the climate advantage pointed out, work.tig raeo are ena bled to save more than they could hope to do with higher rates of wages in a colder climate. lam informed by Mr. Gu.nby Jordan, Secretary of the Eagle vtnd Piiog fix Company, that on the spinning of cotton rffone seven cents a pound can be nett and to the Georgia manufacturers. Es timating tbe cotton crop ol the State at three bundled thousand bales, and five hundred pounds to the bale, it will be seen that at tins rate, if man ufactured and shipped, as yarn, in stead of in a raw co .dition, $10,500,- 000 annually would be added to the wealth of lhe State. There ar •s v eral mills itt Gemgia, notably in one county on the Chattalio >cli> e river, that have taken advantage ot t'n ( is fact, and ate u >\v cb voting all tlv power of their estaljlisbiU’ nts ip the manufacture ol yaqi ler foreign shipment. In Columbus aco npatiy is now forming lor the exclusive pur pose of prod it'ing rite -a ne material. Other c 'mpanios are a] o being form • ed throughout the State, ai>ff wph the advantage of an unrivaled elj.- mate and inexhaustible power, the raw epttou growing all around them, freod from State taxation by a spr • ial act of tile Legislature, and with a latge anil increasing home market, they and the mills already establish ed need only economical n ati-tge ment to become great success s.— C'or. N. ¥. Tribune. A CARO Tp TH- ky^LIC. A Short Postponement of the Fifth Gift Coneert. As manager of the gift concerts in aid ot the l’ublic Library of Kentucky, my position cre ates an important trust in behalf of the Public Library and the ticket holders of tlie fifth gift concert. Tbe Public Library ot Kentucky and the ticket holders a.e jointly interested in the amount of tbe drawing. The larger tbe fund to be distributed in gifts, the greater will be tbe gift awarded to each luck; ticketiholder and the more the amount realized by the Li. brary. To have a full drawing is so manifestly to the interest of those interested, that rather than have a factional drawing on tbe 30. h iust. I deem it due to tbe trust confided to me by the ticket holdeis and the Public Library of Kentucky, that a short postpon ment be made to guable n> e U> dispose of the unsold tickets aud have a full drawing. Though the very large amount now in bank would enable us te distribute, handsome gifts, vit we should feel disapp inted in this our last concert should we be compelled to nidike a fractional drawing, however large. We have received so many letters from all parts of the country Irom those most interested, urging a postponement if all the tickets be not sold by the 3Utb, that we feel strengthened in our sense of duty to the ticket holder- and the Public Library, to make this postponement.— Under the circumstances we have determined, iu the interest of all, parties, to postpone th coneert and drawing to Saturday, February 27, 1875 at which time the drawing w ill positively take place; and as a guarantee of good faith to ticket holders, we pledge ourselves to refund to auy ticket holder his money, upon presen tation of his tieket, should the drawing tail to come off at the day now filed The money paid for tickets is sacredly presei ved against all contingencies until alt r the payment of the gifts, after which the sapenses are to be reim bursed and tbe Pub ic Library is to be paid its profits.
