AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY MORNING. NOV. 11.1866.
THE OATHOLIO OHUEOH ON DANC
ING.
We take the following extract from the Pas
toral letter of the Second Plenary Council of
the Roman Catholic Church, which has recently
been published:
“In this connection we consider it to be our
duty to warn our people against those amuse
ments which may easily become to them an oc
casion of sin, and especially against those fash
ionable dances, which, as at present carried on,
are revolting to every feeling of delicacy and
propriety, and arc fraught with the greatest
danger to morals. We would also warn them
most solemnly against the great abuses which
have sprung up in the matter of fairs, excur
sions and picnics, in which, as too often con
ducted, the name of charity is made to cover
up a multitude of sins. We forbid all Catho
lies having anything to do with them, except
when managed in accordance with the regula
tions of the Ordinary, and under the imme
diate supervis on of their respective pastors.”
Commenting on this, the Baltimore Gazette
says : “ The fashionable dances, which are here
put under the ban, arc what arc termed the
round dances, and more particularly the dance
known as the German Cotillon. This dance is
simply an adaptation of the waltz, the redowa,
the gallop, the polka, or any other round dance
to a set of figures, for the purpose of giving
more life and variety to the amusement. There
is not a couutry in Europe in which one or
more of these dances are not dunced by all
classes of society, from the members of the
royal family to the peasant laborers of the field.
Most European countries have their national
dances, which arc almost invariably round
dunces. Germany has its waltz, PylanifTias its ,
mazurka, Bavaria has its known here by
the misnomer of the schottisch, Silesia has its
laendler, Styria has its Styrian waltz and the
Spanish waltz, though not, perhaps, originating
in "Spain, differs materially from other waltzes,
and is, in fact, a national dance. The countries
we have uamed are, with the exception of
Northern Germany, Roman Catholic countries.
In all of them Sunday is made a day of festival,
and in the afternoons of that day the peasants
and humbler classes have their little gatherings,
very similar to what we here term picnics, and
amuse themselves by dancing their national
dances. The Kirmcsse, or Church Feast, which
is a high holiday, is also devoted to merriment
and dancing. The round dances are, in fact,
encouraged as an innocent amusement, even on
holy days, and the gathering together of the
people to the sound of music is considered
much better for their morals than the indul
gence of the vices of drunkenness and de
bauchery, in which the lower classes are too
apt to fall, if they have not some more attrac
tive way of amusing themselves. To deprive
the peasantry of this hereditary privilege by
the edict of any church would be to excite a
revolution among the followers of that church,
and if, would be no more possible to stop na
tional dances In Europe than to suppress na
tional songs.
“The only country in Europe in which these
dances are, or rather were, frowned upon is
England, a t’rotestant country, and statistics
show that in Scotland, where there is the great
est Puritanism, there is, also, the greatest im
morality. There, there are no round dances
among the people, but it appears that there are
other customs which are fraught with much
greater danger to morals. In North America
there are, as yet, no national dances, and the
custom of dancing round dauces has not taken
deep root. It may, therefore, perhaps, be more
easily dealt with here than in Continental
Europe, but it is not rash to prophecy that
where the sinners are so largely in the majority
that the saints will have but little chance.”
To ill of which we have only this to add—
The Golden Rule bids ns do unto others as we
would othci should do unto us. We arc un
willing that <>nr -Liters should engage in “fash
ionable dances, which, as at present carried on,
are revolting to every feeling of delicacy and
propriety.” .llow can we expect then the sister
of a friend to consent to nmusuwvcnta which
our sisters are deemed too pure to participate
in?
An Interesting Historical Question —The
Death of Socrates, and a Novel View of it
by Ch’ote.
History has been emphatically condemned as
a many-volumcd lie! Without going to the
extent of sustaining a sentence thus uncondi
tional, we may at least declare that so many in
gredients of Fable have been found to mingle
with the matter of the gravest records, that one
is inclined to take nothing upon mere autliori
ity—uot even the authority which rests upon
the apparent consent of mankind continued
through centuries of time.
No historical statements, for example, have
been considered more incontrovertible than the
following, namely, that the Greek Sophists
were intellectual and moral corruplors, and
that the special merit of Socrates was, that he
rescued the Athenian mind from such debasing
influences; arid, lastly, that notwithstanding
this and other services still more conspicuous,
Socrates, through the malignant misrepresen
tations of the meanest enemies, encouraged by
the complicity of corrupt judges, suffered the
penalty of death, an involuntary, although he
roic martyr !
Until recently, these statements were univer
sally accepted as correct; they are generally,
in a popular sense, accepted as correct now.—
And yet it has been proved with a certainty
and force of demonstration, which belougs to
few sciences,excepting to the Mathematics —that
these opinions are radically false. The argu
ment of Grotc, the great English historian ol
the Greeks, is to our mind, conclusive upon the
subject.
His view of the condemnation and death of
Socrates, together with the circumstances
which brought about these events, is particu
larly worthy ol note. We will condense a por
tion of his subtle and logical argument lor t lie
benefit of such of our readers as may still hold
to the conclusions derived lrom Mitford and
others.
When about forty years of age, Socrates
abandoned bis profession of a Statuary, and de
voted himself exclusively to tlic task of teach-
Early in the morning he frequented the pub
lic walks, the gymnasia, and the schools for
youth ; and, at a somewhat later hour, he might
be seen in the market place wheu it was most
crowded, talking to any one, old or young, rich
or poor, who sought to address him, and in the
hearing of all, who chose to stand by, never
asking nor receiving reward, and being careful
not to make the slightest distinction of per
sons.
He conversed with politicians, soldiers, phi
losophers, tradesmen, poets, physicians, gover
nors, students in every department of science
or letters, and even with the Hetaerae ! lie
visited every person in the city who interested
him, without being ivited. Aspasia was his
friend and Theodote his frequent companion.
Now, no oilier person in Athens, or any
other Grecian city ever manifested himself in
this manner aB a public talker for instruction.
lie acquired a few devoted friends, but at the
same time provoked a large number of bitter
personal foes. Not only was Socrates distin
guished from other teachers by this extreme
publicity of conversation, but his persuasion of
a “ special religious mission, of restraints, im
pulses, and communications, sent him from the
gods,” was another peculiarity of belief which
aroused the enmity of the orthodox around
him. Os course, the faith in a general super
natural agency, was not peculiar to Socrates,
but Ills faith tons not of a general nature ; it in
ferred “ a speciality of inspiration,” for accord
ing to his own defense before the Dikastery,
“he had been accustomed to hear even from
ichildhood, a divine voice, interfering at mo
ments when he was about to act, in the way of
restraint, but never in the way of instigation /”
Some authors speak of this as the “ Daemon ”
of Socrates, but be himself does not personify
it, but alludes to it as “ a divine sign, a pro
phetic voice!”
There were other ways in which Socrates be
lieved himself to have received special divine
mandates. A special mandate, for instance, had
been imposed upon him by dreams and oracu
lar intimations. Os these intimations from the
Oracle, he particularly mentions one received
in answer to a question put at Delphi by his
friend Chserephon. The inquiry was, “ whether
any other man was wiser than Socrates.” The
J'ythian priestess replied in the negative, where
»
upon Socrates affirms that he was greatly per
plexed, “ being conscious that he possessed no
wisdom on any subject, smalfe or great.” At
length, he resolved.to test the accuracy of the
decree “ by taking measure of the wisdom of
others as compared with his own.” Beginning
with a certain leading politician, be matches his
wit and reason against the wit and reason of
almost every prominent man in the State, and
of course, owing to his superior intellectual
acuteness, vanquishes all of his opponents.
Here, then, we find the second peculiarity,
which distinguished Socrates in addition to
bis publicity of life, and indiscriminate conver
sation.
He tons not only a Philosopher , but a religious
Missionary doing the work of a philosophy !
The third characteristic of Socrates was, bis
intellectual originality, whereby lie first turned
his thoughts, and those of others to the subject
of ethics. Nature, or “ the Cosmos,” it will be
remembered, was the theme both of the phi
losophers before and after him, viz : of Pcr
menides and Anaxagoras, as well as of Plato
and Aristotle.
In describing the persevering activity of So
crates as a religious and intellectual Mission
ary, “we have,” says Grote, again, “ really de
scribed Ins life.” His existence was legally
blameless, and he had never been brought before
the Dikastery until his one final trial , when he
was seventy years of age. Tt was ill the year
399 B. 0., that Miletus, together with Anytus,
and Lycon presented against him, and hung up
in the appointed place, (the Portico before tlic
office of the King Arehon), (be following iu
dictinent against him : *
“Socrates is gnilty of crime, first, for not
worshiping the Gods whom the city worships, but
introducing new Divinities of his own ; next, for
corrupting the youth —the penalty is, Death
Our surprise is great, not that this charge was
urged against him, but that it bad not been
urged twenty-five, or thirty years before! How
Socrates could have gone on so long, standing
in the market place, and aggravating everybody
by his pertinent queries which nobody was able
to answer, is the true subject of wonder!
There were particular circumstances no doubt
which induced his accusers to prefer their in
dictment at the actual moment, despite the age
of Socrates, in the first place, one of the ac
cusers, Anytus, a prominent politician, seems
to have become incensed against him, because
Socrates had dissuaded his son, a very clever
youth, from following his father's trade of a
leather-seller. Another circumstance which
tended to provoke certain persons against the
Philosopher was, his past connection with Cri
lias and Aleibiades, the latter of whom w?is
especially odious.
The chief accuser of Socrates, M clot us, wav a
poet, probably one of those mediocre versifiers,
who are of all men the most vain and hitter,
whilst his coadjutor, Eykon, was a Rhetor.—
Both these classes had been offended liy the
terrible, cross-examining dialectics of Socrates.
They were the last men on earth to bear such
an exposure with patience!
* When the ease came before the Dikastery,
Llio accusers, by tbe ingenious use of “ partial
citations bom the philosopher's continual dis
courses, given without the context by hold in
vention, as we)l as by taking up real error,”
succeeded in producing a strong array of w is
dout against hint.
The attacks of Anytus were particularly vig
orous against the vulnerable side of the Socral
ic theory of ethics, when it asserts a very par
tial truth when it declares “ that virtue depends
wholly upon knowledge ,” .
The bearing of Socrates on his trial was to
the last degree defiant and uncompromising ;
so much so indeed, that the final verdict of
“guilty” must he considered as having been
deliberately provoked by the prisoner himself!
The famous “ Platonic Defence” informs us
that this verdict was pronounced by only a ma
jority of Jive or sir. amidst a body (the Dikas
tery), “ numbering no less than fee hundred
and fifty-seven members."
“ If the verdict of guilty," Grote proceeds to
say, “ was this brought against Socrates by bis
own deliberate co-operation, much more may
the same remark be made respecting the Capital
Sentence which followed it?
lii thu Athenian procedure, the penally in -
flieled was. determined by a separate vote of the
Dikasts, taken after the verdict of guilty. The
accuser having named the penaljy which he
thought huihil do, ♦tie iwcutMMf party immcil «mus
lighter penalty Upon himself, and between the
two, the Dikasts were called to make their op
tion. The prudence of the accused party always
induced hint to propose some measure of pun
ishment which the Dikasts might be satisfied to
accept.”
Now, when the time came for Socrates to
make his counter proposition, (Mel etna of course
still urging the punishment of death) instead of
suggesting such a punishment as line, impris
onment or exile, he amazes his judges by de
claring that so far lrom meriting obloquy and
disgrace, it is his conviction that lie deserves
the very highest honor ever accorded to an
Athenian citizen, namely, subsistence at the pub
lic expense in the Prytanewn
We must all admire this reply, and the noble
independence, courage and sincerity which
prompted it; but who in a calm consideration
of all the facts of the case, the position and dig
nity of the Dikasts, the natural popular exas
peration of Socrates as an innovator, blasphe
mer and intidci, the settled laws of the land,
which a public prosecutor was bound by the
most, solemn of oaths to carry out; and lastly,
the Philosopher's contemptuous bearing on the
occasion of his trial, can marvel at the conduct
of the Athenian judges, or, indeed, in strict jus
tice, very severely condemn them ?
The Best Joke of the Season.—We have a
set of clever, fun-loving young men in our
town, says the Sandcrsvillc Georgian, who
never allow an opportunity of satiating the.it
thirst for fun and frolic to pass unimproved.
One night last week the boys made a sad mis
take in a subject for fun. One of the number
disguised liimseif and knocked at the door of
one of our most successful physicians,called the
doctor up and informed him that he was a
Dutchman just from Macon, Georgia, and that
liis“Vife” was at the Sandersville Hotel, and
said lie, “ Doctor, mine vise is mity sick, her pc
almost die, too make haste, doctor, mine Got,
come quick.” The doctor smelled a “mice,”
but put on his clothes, took a repeater in his
hand, walked out and told Dutchey to take the
front rank and lead the way. Dutc.icy did so
at a brisk trot, which soon brought them to the
hotel. The light revealed to the doctor the im
portant tact that “ Dutchey Roziubacliker,”
was a young gent of our town. The doctor
returned home ; the next morning he presented
liis bill to “Dutchey” for “fifty dollars for im
portant services rendered on the night previ
ous.” The young man plead everything lie
could think of|by way of extenuation, hut, alas,
the doctor was inexorable, and said, “ Sir, fifty
dollars will settle the matter and nothing short.”
The claim being liquidated, the doctor informed
the young gent that his professional services
were comeatible in the future at the same fig
ures. We should say that young Dutchey is
fairly out Dulched.
Methodist Church South.—Tlie votes
which have been thus tar taken in the several
Annual Conferences of the Southern Metho
dists, indicate the ratification by a large majori
ty, of tlie proposed change of the name of the
Church to Episcopal Methodist Church, and
tlie proposed introduction of lay representa
tion into the General Conferences. The follow
ing results arc reported:
Holstcn Conference —For change of name,
51; against it, 2. For Lay Representation,
47 ; against it, 7.
Louisville Conference —For change of name,
35; against it. 31. For 1 .ay Delegation, 57;
against it, 11.
Arkansas Conference—For change of name,
25 ; against it, 7. For Lay Representation, 27 ;
against it, 4.
The late Archbishop of Milan has thus dis
posed in his will of his three crosiers: One, a
present from the Pope in 3804, lie leaves to tlie
collection of sacred objects at Monza; that
given him by some Milanese ladies of the Bis
cottino is bequeathed to the cathedral of Mi
lan, and the third will be reserved to his suc
cessor.
A Gloomy Honeymoon.— Dr. La Force, of
Agency, married a Miss Dudley, last Thursday,
and the happy couple started on their bridal
tour. They arrived at Burlington, and took
dinner at the hotel. Tlie lair bride never looked
so lovely, and tlie heart of the husband was
joyful. While they were seated at the table,
the face of the bride suddenly underwent a
eliauge ; the cheeks grew pallid, and the eyes,
stared wildly around. The Doctor immediate
ly noticed the horrible transformation’, and
caught her in his arms. But affection was pow
erless to rescue. The poor man discovered
that he was holding in his embrace a maniac
wile. Without a premonitory symptom she
had thus suddenly become insane. The Doctor
returned to Agency the next day, bearing with
him the wreck of his own beautiful young wife.

You xvill perceive that my speculations ns to
the result ot the vote on the Constitutional
Amendment in the Senate and House, was, in
the main, correct. The senate unanimously
against it; and only two votes in the House for
it. As the Press Agent will telegraph the main
positions taken in the Report by the Joint
Standing Committee against adopting the Con
stitutional Amendment, 1 have deemed it un
necessary to lengthen this Jetter by repeating
what yon have already published. As it is not
usual to adopt Reports of Committees, but ouly
adopt what they recommend to be done, no
vote was taken upon the Report of the Com
mittee, but action was only taken on the reso
lution proposed by them. T.
mi n v
Death of John Fontaine.— We are again
called to chronicle the death of another old and
estimable citizen. Mr. John Fontaine breathed
bis last Sunday morning at his residence in this
city, alter a long aud painful illness. He was,
we understand, in liis 76tli year, and had been a
resident of Columbus since its first settlement,
and during that period lias been closely identi
fied with all her leading interests. Connected
with the Columbus Factory and one of the
largest warehouses in the city, lie has been emi
nently successful as a business man, and be
come widely known for his conscientious in
tegrity and uniform fair dealing. During the
late war, when the spirit of avariciousness
seemed to triumph over all the ennobling and
generous impulses of human nature, it was the
persistent aim of Mr. Fontaine and those asso
ciated with him, to keep down the price of the
necessaries of life to a living standard, and we
know that almost invariably he undersold other
dealers. Many widows and orphans and sol
dier’s wives aud other poor of this section will
long remember his many acts of liberality and
kindness in their behalf, aud while the spirit of
gratitude survives, will rise up to bless his
memory. In his death the city has lost a promi
nent, useful citizen, his family an honored and
beloved head, and the poor a benefactor.
Thus one after another of the city fathers are
borne to their long home, the mourners go
about the streets, and death becomes a familiar
household sound. We are admonished that no
degree ol virtue or renown afford exemption
from the common doom, but all alike must
meet on a common footing in the grave. But
if a “ good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches ” the family of John Fontaine have
a heritage of which they may feel justly proud.

stock, shall be liable for the debts of the incorporation.—
In the event o£lhe neglect or refusal of the incorporation
to pay any debt owing by the name, the creditor or cred
itors thereof may sue the Company in their corporate
name, and upon obtaining execution against the Compa
ny, it shall first be levied upon the corporate property of
said Company, which shall first be liable, and upon the re
turn of the proper officer or officers, of no corporate prop
erty to be found, said execution may be levied upon an
amount of the private property of any Stockholder of the
Company, equal to the amount of his stock; if that be not
sufficient to satisfy said execution, then it may be levied
upon the private property of any other Stockholder, £qual’
to his stock, and ho on, until the execution is fully satis
tied; and in all cases the levying officer shall be the judge
of the amount of property necessary to satisfy the Ji.fa.
