David T. CorDin
Memorialized tho Senate yesterday, ask
ing leave to withdraw frem the contest
for M. C. Butler’s seat, arguing, very
correctly, tfcat the refusal of the Senate
to take up the report of the committee
in hia favor settles the point witn this
Congress and there is no; the smallest
chance in the next one.
Corbin laments over his fatluro to get
the seat principally on the ground that
the negroes tave lost eo much by it. Ha
thinks he cooli have dene very great
things for the negro, and no doubt in the
way of lightening their pockets of filthy
lucre no man could do more than Corbin,
and few so much. Of the whole crowd
of political shysters and skinners who
have united in stripping the old Palmetto
State to the bone, not one can boast pre
eminence over Corbin. His perfect familr
larity with that role in its minutest details
is clearly evinced in thia melancholy
whine over lost opportunities. The first
lesson in the part is an affection of ex
ireme tenderness for the negro. These
actors take off every successive piece of
.is hide with a new outbreak of affection
and steal hia la3t shilling with a bless
ing.
The reason assigned why the Senate ma
jority refused to sea; OorbiD, is that they
were afraid the next Senate would prompt
ly uneeat both Corbin and Kellogg, who are
in precisely the same case—both having
been “elected” by a Legisture without a
legal quorum or tho pretence of a quo
rum. But we fail to see why justice and
right should not bo vindicated in both
coses, nevertheless.
Presidential Gossip.
The Washington gossips have infor.
mation, or rather profoss to have it, that
Mr. lilden is oanvossing very diligently
and very quietly for a re-nomination for
tho Presidency with much visible effect.
If one were to judge from the newspaper
reports of Mr. Tilden’s physical condition
he is more likely to win the crown of im
mortality. He is in his sixty-sixth year
—and very feeble, and never in his best
days did he carry the promise of long
life. The prob«S lities of his pa38ing
safely thron-h mi strain of another can
vass are so recuie as to render a re-nom
ination too haz irfious to be wisely pro.
jectel or undertaken.
As to the Bichmonds on the other side,
a new one is pressed in the person of
Washburne, late Minister to France—the
nun who secured the original nomination
for Grant, and is supposed to be peculiar
ly acceptable to tbo sphynx of silence,
aidearms and sideboard?.
Bi&iue and John Sherman are also ac
tively in the field, and it is suppoeed
Washburne is brought forward really to
diminish their prestige and produce a di
version in favor of Grant, whose candi
dacy is now considered among the know
ing ones as a thing assured.

Cock FigHtlnff.
The country, at this particular time, is
much ocoupled with mains of fighting-
creks. The reputation and standing of
several States has been settled ia varions
cock-pits within the past few days, great
ly to the concern of that portion of the
people acquainted with the facts in the
case. The following brief description of
a fight in Baltimore, telegraphed to the
Cincinnati Enquirer, has been handed ns
for publication:
The first fight was between two game
cocks with good reputations,and the fight
was a long one, the country bird win
ning. The next was the event of the
day. Tnis was a match between a Bal
timore bird and a famous country fighter.
The Baltimore bird was the favorite.
The countryman was shapely, gray-
backed and prond-looking. The other,
equally as well formed, was black breast
ed. So great was the excitement that
those who were nnable to get inside the.
inclosure sprang on the gate and railings,
and, waiving th ir hats, yelled them
selves hoarse. Each walked the lengtn
of the ring, and then, with head bent
low, darted in. Bound after round was
fought in quick succession without any
decided advantage to either.
After the fight had lasted abont fifteen i
minutes the black bird struck the gray a
regular stunner back of the neck, bring
ing him to his haunches. Again were
the bets doubled on the black Even
more eaeerly than before np stepped the
black. His eagerness, however, did not
last long, for with a well-directed blow
witb the spar and a death-llke grip on the
throat, the gray knocked him ont of time
in less time than it takes to write it.
For the next five minutes the birds were
shy, each seemingly highly impressed
with the fighting qualities of the other.
Those who but a few minutes before were
betting so freely on tho black, now chang
ed their tactics. Boned after round was
fought, and the fight began to look as if
it would never end, when suddenly tho.
gray beat the black to the earth and,
standing over him, began to pick his eyes
out. This was virtually the turning
point in the fight, for at each round tbero
after the gray repeated the same maneu
ver, and finally the black fell to ihe earth
bleeding and almost dead, while the gray
stood over his fallen body and crowed
aloud in victory.
Tho next fight «a3 between a fioo city
bird and a gray countryman. The battle
was a desperate one, aad after both had
b: en terribly punished, the city cock
struck bis antagonist a death blow. Thr*
two next were won by the country, and
the fifth and sixth by city birds, and the
Seventh by the country. Tho orowd at
onco scattered and all eluded arrest.

A Lino Interest Account.—Acer-
respondent of the New York Sun reports
that Charles Broom, a farmer of Sullivan
county in that State, in examining into
tho contents of an old chest which bad
lain unopened in his home for fifty-two
years, found several letters of impottance
as well as antiquity. One of them was a
letter from Join Hancock, then Presi
dent of the Continental Oongrebs, dated
October 5tb, 1777. This letter was ad-
drersed to Governor Oilmen, and inform
ed him that Congress had appropriated
J500 for the erection of a monument to
General Herkimer. .
The appropriation was never paid ovor,
and the people of Herkimer will petition
Congress for it9 payment with interest
for 101 years. If simple luterdft a: aix_
per ceiit. were nil-iwrd "lie appropriation
woull amount to $3 £30. which would
bu:l i.a uioAtUosQ^ with “.U. uioZcm
provemen i
colonel Rutherford's Irccture
on Paris.
We are a ware that oar people have a
very poor appreciation for lectures of any
kind, and by whomsoever delivered.
This was shown by tho slim houses that
greeted the post Saxe, Sunset Cox, Dr.
Talmsgeand General Alpheua Baker. But
in the present instanoe, the object sought
to be benefited presents a powcrfal ap
peal to the hearts of the community.
Again, the Ieoturer ia one of the most wit
ty, elcqient acd brilliant sons of Macon.
Tkoao who beard Colonel Rutherford’s
eulogy of the “lovsd acd lost” on ono of
our memorial days have not forgotten the
splendor of hia dioiion, bra fervid elo
quence, and tho magnifioant wealth of
bis Imagination. He literally stormed
the hearts of bis large auditory and took
themoaptive.
En-iiely different in conception and
incident, bnt equally popular and agreea
ble to all claeses, ware the unique and
spioy letters of the Colonel sent to the
Telegraph and Messengsr from Faria,
last summer. They literally sparkled
with wit and originality, and will serve
to whet to the keenest edge tho expsota-
rion of the pnblio, as the evening of the
delivery of bis promised lecture upon
the French capital draws near. Macon
will give him a hamper, or wo era no
prophet.
Aad now, a word consenting the ob
ject and purpose of thi3 ieotare. The in
defatigable and irrepressible City Saxton,
Mr. J. J. Olay, ia essaying tbo task
of repairing the waste places of oar be&a
tiful Bose Hill Cemetery, clipping its
hedges, trimming the sbrabbery, clearing
out and grading its carriage ways and
walks, preserving intact the elcqa9nt
monads, whioh mark the resting place of
the cherished dead, and, in short, is re
solved to keep up and boaatify, if possi
ble, in a befitting manner this passingly
lovely mausoleum of the departed.
But his means are limited and tho city
authorities can afford him no help.
Hence his appeal to Colonel Bntherford
to lecture in behalf of Bose Hill, that
the funds realized may be applied to the
improvement of that sacred spot.
Barely not another word need be said
on the subject. The people will turn
out to hear him, and while enjoying the
satisfaction of giving their mite to the
worthy cause above mentioned, will reap
a rich reward also in the kaleidoscopic
and attractive views of Paris, which they
will receive at tho hands of the graceful
Ieoturer.
What the Clergy Hay.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Inquirer, dated February 24th, from Phil
adelphia says: The Baptist, Methodist
and Presbyterian ministers,at their regu
lar Monday morning meetings to-day,took
up the Chinese question, and each of tbo
three Methodists voted unanimously that
the bill was an outrage. Tho Baptist
protested against it, as being in violation
of a treaty with China, as being the off
spring of the spirit of caste and selfish-
neee, putting formidable obstacles in the
missionary efforts for the Chinese, as
being contrary to the spirit of the De
claration of Independence, and being un
worthy of a great Christian nation. Tho
Presbyterians votsd it unchristian, impo
lite, and anti-Rapublican.
Per contra, in California the most sol
emn religious meetings have been held
to expostulate against the further en
couragement of this great Chinese inun
dition. There is no doubt that the pres
ence of so many heathen, with their ut
ter absence of all purity and even decen
cy, to say nothing of their monopcl'xing
the Jabor of tho country, is a great hard
ship. But evil should* net be done that
good miy coma of it, and national treaties
a:e so; to be broken at will. Else all
agreements between na'ions would be
mere ropes of sand
One good resnlt, however, may grow
ont of the fearful prevalence cf ignorance
and vise in the country, though as yet
the Chinese, in violation of tho spirit of
the Radical constitutional amendments,
have not been acoorded the ballot. We
mean, it is to be hoped that the necessity
may be soon made apparent that the elec
tive franchise should ba restricted only to
those of whatever race, color or condition
who can read and write and are thus
qualified to form an intelligent opinion,
to some extent at laast, npon the questions
submitted to their decision.
Why should ignoranco be allowed to
rule?
Universal suffrage has proved the
greatest of all conceivable curses to this
country by lowering to zero the standard
of citizenship, and making a mere matter
of merchandise the voices of s very largo
proportion of our voting population.

An important Decision from a
Federal Standpoint.
In a recent enit brought before Judge
W. B. Wood in the United States Circuit
Court, for the District of Louisiana, by a
□egro whose two children were refuted
admission into one of tho white public
schools by the General Superintendent, W.
O. Rogers, under the ruling of the Board
of Education, bis Honor decided as fol
lows:
There is no complaint in the bill that
complainant’s children are excluded from
the pnblio schools of the State on account
of their race and color or for any other
reason. Nor is there any averment that
the public schools which aro open to com-
plainant’s children ate in any respect
whatever inferior to tho schools where
the children of tho white race are educa
ted.
The grievauoe, and the sole grievance,
sot out in tho bill is that oomplainaat’s
ohildron, being of Afrioan descent, ere
not allowed to attend the same public
schools as those in whioh children of
white parents are educated.
Is this a deprivation of a right granted
by the Constuntioncf the United States?
Tne oompialnant says that the aotion of
the defendants deprives him and his chil
dren of the equal protection of the laws,
and therefore impairs a right granted to
him and them by tbe fourteenth amend
ment to tbe Constitution of the United
States.
Is there any denial of equal rights in
the resolution of the board of directors
of tho city schools or in the aotion of the
subordinate officers of tbo schools ae set
out in the bill? Both raoesare treated
precisely alike. White children and col
ored children are compiled to attend
different schools. That is all. The
State, whils conceding equal privileges
and advantages to both races, has the
right to manage its schools in the man
ner which in its judgment will best pro
mote tbe interest of alL
The State may be of opinion that it is
better to educate the sexes separately,
aad therefore establishes schools in whioh
the children of different sexes are educat
ed apart. By such a policy can it be
said that tha equal rights of either sex
aro invaded? Equality of rights does
not involve the necessity of educating
children of both sexes or children witboat
regard to tbeir attainments or age in tbo
sameechoo]. Any classification which
presnmeB substantially equal school
advantages, does not impair any rights
and is not prohibited by the constitution
of the United States. Equality of rights
does not necessarily imply identity of
rights.
If I am right in the view presented the
claim of the complainant amounts to this,
that this court, withont regard to the
citizenship of ot tho parties, has author
ity to inquire into every violation of a
State law or State constitution by the of
ficers of the State.
This Court does not sit to supervise
the conduct of Slate officers unless it lm
pairs some right granted by tho Constitu
tion of the United States, or unless the
citizenship of tha parties to the suit gives
the Court jurisdiction. Generally wo are
authorized to enforce or administer the
State laws only when there is a contro
versy between citizms of different Siatoe.
As tho bill does not preBout the caao of
an impairment oE a right granted by ths
Constitution of tho United States, acd as
all tbe parties to it aro citizens of the
State of Louisiana, it does not present
any case of which this Court can take
jurisdiction. Tho demurrer mmt there
fore bo maintained.
This 13 a lucid, just and intelligent ren
dering of tbe law, and will servo to show
that tho 14th Amendment does not quite
overrido nil the rights of tbe whites or
absolutely establish negro equality. A
decision like this will do much to bring
the exacting darkte3 to their ssnses.
Though, to their credit bo it epoken,
only a few spoiled and turbulent blacks
ever seek to leave the ranks of tbeir own
race for tho purpose of thrusting them-

vived legislation's one of the provisions
of ono of the appropriation bills which
has been struck ont by the Senate, be
cause a deliberate system of ball-dozing
by tho Federal Government, Jacking pro
visions by whioh jaries can be packed so
as to inenro conviction, would bo of no
avail for these purposes. Bat it prose
cuting effioers can pack juries so as to
seoure conviction, and make the prioe of
Domooratio activity at the polls fioo
and imprisonment, they can cripple or
destroy effeo'.ivo opposition in the South
ern States.
Another Senatorial amendment of an
appropriation bill provides fer $250,000
deficiency to tbo “Department of Jus
tice”—arrears which have been incurred
to marshals and deputy marshals em
ployed in tho last election, in this very
business of bull-dczing at the polls—
four-fifths of it, as Mr. Thurman thinke,
in Northern States, in disfranchising and
frightening Northern Democratic voters.
Tbero was very strong talk in the Senate
over this amendment, by Senators who
are not likely to eat their word?.
Oneot the bills as passed by tlte House
also contains a provision abolishing the
whole statutory eoheme of Federal domi
nation at the polls, and leaving them free
and under State jurisdiction, as they
were tor a hundred years of oar national
history. This is a straggle for a free
and pure ballot whioh will not be aban
doned in thia generation or any sacceB
sivo one, until the end is accomplished.
A free people cannot vote nnder the
shadow of the bayonet, acting by tho
orders of Federal saperviBors, marshals
and deputies, who represent a purely par
tisan interest in the resnlt, and are there
toeeourea perpetuation of tbe political
power of tho administration w archappoin-
ted them. This is a mere mocker) of the
elective franchise, practicable only when
tbe psopie are beoomtng demoralized and
governments are substituting foroe for
the constitutionally expressed. popular
will. This question is one of tho numer

land marks and anoient usages of civil
freedom, and popular sovereignty in
America.
As to the probable ttmo of an extra
session, it is reported that Mr. Hayes has
already declared in conversation tba’, in
case an extra session of Congress is ne.
cosdtatod by the failure of ono or more
of tho appropriation bills, he would not
call it till tho last; possible moment. This
determination settles it that there will
be no session daring tbe summer, as all

ilia CMnesa Question.
Joaquin Miller, says the Baltimore Sun
ot the 27th ult., contributes his views cn
the Chiaese question in a letter to the
Now Yotk Tribune. It was scarcely ex
pected that ‘‘the poet of the Sierras”
would lift his voice above the clamor
againet the almond-eyed immigrants of
the Pacific elope, bnt it appears that he
does, and furthermore be expresses tho
conviction it at that clamor by no meanB
represents the sentiment of the wholo
peopls of that section of tho country.
Ho eays: “My parents, all my people,
my heart and my homo are there. I
know the hardy, honest-hearted settlers
there, and I know that they protest
agaicat this measure which politicians
aro trying to compel through Congress in
their name.” Tho key to tho whole
question, he asserts. Is that the China
man docs not vote; he makes no Con
gressmen, and therefore baB no cham
pion. If Mr. Miller is correct in the
following conclusion, he makes a point
of decided force:
“Can the United States afford to fear
tbeee patient and simple people ? They
will not harm us. Tney aro not strikers,
rioters and burners of cities. But there
ts something more in this than tbe selfish
question of our own eeourity. The Ohi-
nam*n who returns home oarries some
thing more than our gold to his laud; be
takes with him and disseminates there all
tbe art, otvilizuion, freedom or trath
whioh he foand here. Those aro the real
missionaries to China.”
But tbe Baltimore Sun, ot the same
date, contains a letter from it? London
correspondent, whioh details at length a
conversation witb the Chineso Ambassa
dor at the Court of 8:. James, with spe
cial refereuoe to tho Chineso question-in
California. Tno Ambassador, speaking
of tho obaractor of the Chinoso emigrants
to California, says:
“Quite right.. The coolies that yon
complain of in California are the aonm
of our country. They havo absolutely no
edaoatiou, bnt a great deal ef natural
enuning. In tbe isolated oases where
they are naturally whac yon in Amenoa
term ‘smart,' they are invariably suoobsb-
fal in reliDg their less ‘smart,* compatri
ots and oompstiDg with any other peo
ple. . Gain ia their aim, and to get all
they oan and keep all they get is their or
thodox, cardinal maxim. To reform
theso ‘aooliee.’ whom we do not estimate
as Chinese proper at all, is a foregone
oonomsion. To their idol of the pista
reen (the dollar) are they only obedient.
Dress this idol as you will they will wor
ship it When they return to Ohiua from
California they are eo contaminated and

Justice to an Honorable Gen
tleman
Our correspondent, “South Georgia,”
unwittingly does not do jusiic9 to Mr.
Livingston when he eays “the published
and applauded speech of Mr. Livingston
at the late convention of the State Agri
cultural Society at Hawkinsville, com
posed in tbe main of grangers, in regard
to tho making of Governors startled many
people, who were not Buepecting that the
intense interest in farming by many who
have little to do with it, means aspiration
to pnblio office and honor.”
We were present when the addrtss al
luded to was delivered, and feel confident
that the piny ini remark that the farmers
of Georeia bad made one .good Governor
and were able to make another, was only
intended as a pleasant compliment to tbe
greatest of all “the estates of the realm,”
tho agricultural.
We doubt very capitally, too, whether
one-toarth of tho members of the Con
vention are now members of living gran
ges, as the order seems in great part to
havo fulfilled its mission. But, even if
they were, we feel quae safe in asserting
that never havo tho Grangers of Georgia
formed a combination or coalition in the
interests of any political aspirant. Tho
mere fact that Gov. Co.’quitt, tho beloved
exponent of every interest in tho State,
was a granger proves nothing. The
troth is, the farmers have always elected
tho governors of Georgia, for tho very ob
vious reason that they vastly ont number
all of the professions put together. In re
gard to the resolution of the National
Grange at its lato session in Richmond,
Ya., we consider it a mere bruiemfulmen
That resolution reads thus: “We shali
demand admission in tho Legislatures of
tho several 8tatsB, and in both Houses of
the National Congress,for representatives
ot agriculture chosen directly from its
votaries, as tho only means of relief.”
Well, what then? Tho farmers havo been
eleoting a majority of lawyers alt the
while, and if they see fit to ohango this
poiioy and choose non-professional rep
resentatives, who o*n complain ? Bn (
the talk of “demanding admission” into
the Lsgisiatnre and Congress is simply
nonsense. When has a farmer 6ve? been
refused admission ? We agree with our
correspondent, who i9 a fair and honora
ble gentleman, that politic! should be
kept ont of the oounoils of the Grangers,
but do not think that, at least so far. as
Georgia is conoerhed, any man has ever
been nominated to ofiioe and voted for,
simply as a Granger. Nor have we ever
heard of a political meeting oomposed
solely of the members of this order. Tbe
first step in that direction wonld rend the
asrooiation into fragments.
Usury Lawn.
The New York Legislature, despite tho
universal teachings of tho past, which
demonstrate the utter futility of attempt
ing to control by authority the value of
money, ia again trying that impossible
ta3k -by seeking to revive ^tfco usury
statute. It is proposed to reduce tho
maximum rate of interest to six per cent.,
and rigorously punish ell evasions of the
prescribed limitation.
It ia well remarked, however, by some
writer that “these prohibitions may be
annoying, and when changed they may
compel resort to new methods of evading
the law; but that is all they can do.
Men must borrow; bnt they are not com
pelled to lend; and this dependence of
the borrower will always enable tho
lender to get whatever may be a fair
market value for loans for the time
being. And it the law conld prevent tho
lender from getting tho market value
for his money, he would simply find some
other employment for bis fandB, and
the borrower wonld have to suffer from
inability to borrow. Usury laws can only
fetter free competition in landing; and,
so far as they do that, they injure the
borrower alone. Their natural effect is
to make lending a secret operation, in
stead of the trauaaction of an open com
petitive market; which clearly must
benefit the independent lender rather
than the needy borrower. Free trade in
money is tho condition most favorablo to
the borrower.”
It seems impossible to indoctrinate our
statesmen and law makers with that true
principle of political economy, that trade,
in money or any other commodity, will
regulate itself, if ht alone, by tho simple
operation ot tbo law ot supply and de
mand. If meD want money, and can use
it profitably even at a high per
cent., why should it be any greater crime
to get a* much as possible for imprecisely
as tbe farmer eceks to obtain the very
highest price for hi3 corn? Both are
alike merchantable commodities.

Fire in Hawkinsville.
We learn that on yesterday morning
tbe store of Mr. Dan Rhodes, in Haw
kinsville, was partially burned. The
■tore is used for a general merchandise
business down stairs, and is occupied up
stairs by A. M. Steel. Tho flames were
bursting through the roof when discov
ered, but by tho prompt action of the
cit’z :na and tho vigorous use of water-
buckets the flames were extinguished.
Tho firo originated in some cotton sam
ples in the upper etory of the building,
and are supposed to have started from a
lighted cigar stump Tho lossamounted
to about a thousand dollars, on which
eome insurance wilt be reaiizid. It was
thought, however, that under tho terms
of tho policy, tha claim would bs vitia

tho bouse.
SPECIAL TO HAH DEALERS AND
CONSUMERS.
As there are many inferior and common sweet •
pickle ham* being palmed off as genuine mwar-
cured, we hiva thought beat to warn dealers
and consumer* against the imposition, and at
the same time call attention to our famous
HACH0LIAH1XS,
regarding tha cxcel.ence of which there can bo
no question. For sixteen years they have been
subjectei to tho severest test* in all climates,
and have attained tho highest reputation where*
ever used. Like everything of really superior
quality, they have steadily and firmly grown in
favor, and now our warmest ompotltors are
almost ready to concede the superiority of which
tho general public has long since been aware.
From a cure of 7,B , '0 hams tn 1863 they have
annually increased, and in 1878 the distribution
of these hams amounted to 375.000 pieces—the
largest cure ever made of strictly winter sugar-
cured. canvassed hams Even thi* unprece
dented number was not equal to tho demand.
Wo euro under what we consider the bast
formu’a known, and with the purest and most
expensive ingredients. No expense is spared in
handling, and everything is done known to the
ham-curora* art to render them absolutely per
fect. They aro cut m the interest ot the con*
sumer. avoiding all was to; cured uniformly, and
are Just as represented—the perfection sugar-
cured hams. That there may be no doubt as to
tbeir quality, wo, with entire confidence, guar*
antce them to be unsurpassed in cut. cure, deli
cacy of flavor and stylo of packago by any hams
in tho world. Wo behevo them without equal,
and the universal favor with which they havo
been accepted would justify this conclusion.
There is no ooonomv to either tho dsalor or con-
Lent*.
To-day is the first Sunday in the season
of Lent, a season which is generally ob
served throughout the Christian world by
the Episcopal and Catholic Churches. The
origin of tho religions custom is claimed
to date back to the first ages of Chris
tianity. Bishop Wheatly says Iren mas,
who lived hut ninety years after the death
of Saint John, and who conversed famil
iarly with Saint Foljrcarp as Polycarp
had with Saint John, has transmitted in
cidentally to the Church that this season
was observed in his time and in that of
his predecessors. It i3 claimed that the
Christian Lent took its rise from tho
Jewish solemn humiliation before tho ex
piation. The name, Lent, is (aken from
the old Saxon word which signifies spring,
as tho season comes in that portion of the
year. The foriy days seem to have been
fixed principally in accord with the da^s
of fasting of the L>rd in tho New Testa
ment.
The first day of this season id oalled
Ash Wednesday, aad upon it the early
Christians clothed themselves in sack*
doth and sprinkled ashes upon their
heads as proof of their humility. The
season this year embraces forty-six day?,
as Sundays are regarded as festivals and
are, consequently, not observed. Friday
before Easter specially commemorates
the cruoifixion of the Lord, and is called
Good Friday. Easter day follows on
Sunday, tho 13 h of April,, the third day
after* and it oommemsrates the resurreca
tion.
The Catholic church prescribes a diet
for the period of Lent, and all gcod C&th .
dies observe with great strictness the
regulations of the chmrch. 7he Episco
palians, however, are not eo strict in cor
poreal reguiattoue, bnt eet the season
aside, as one to be devoted to the con
templation ot holy things with ouch ab
stemiousness and seif denial as will prove
tht-t the pleasure of life aro in a large
measure laid aside. Tbe church admon
ishes all'to abstain from all public
amusements, tntertainmenta and such
things 33 tendti divert the mind from
holy things.
The galetiesof the citio3 of tho Christian
world aro ia a largo measure laid aside
daring this period.
