Thr representative of the lloHaian gov
ernment nt Washington denies the truth
of the report that his government has ex
pressed an unfavorable opinion of the
Centennial Celebration.
Thr case of the State of Georgia vs.
the Georgia National Bank of Atlanta, in
which the State sued the bank for a large
sum of money alloged to have belonged
to the State and to have been placed by
Bullock in that bank, was compromised on
Tuesday, by the hank confessing judg
ment for $50,000.* Perhaps this settle*
incut was one of the items on II IK.’s
memorandum, to be attended to during
his stay iu Atlanta.
The ladies of Ohio are vigorously carry
ing on their war against the liquor saloons,
by thronging around them, to the number
of a hundred nr more,and assailing them
with prayer and exhortation while thus
besieged. Many saloon keepers have sur
rendered. The end is doubtless a good
one, but all means are not justified oven
by a good end. We consider this mode
of warfaro ns questionable, and fear that
the gentler sex are not elevating them
selves in thus “stooping to conquer” the
rougher.
Advices from Washington say (lint the
House Judiciary Committee have agreed
to report a hill for the establishment of
two United States District Courts in Lou
isiana, in lieu of Judge DnreH's present
Court. This will dispo^sms him of office
by destroying his court, and thus ho will
bo quietly shoved out of the way and (Jun-
gresa bo spared the disagreeable duty of
passing judgment upon his official acts.
Neat, isn’t it? Now if Pinchbuck can
only be retired with like dignity and no
more dumago, whnt will ho the necessity
of disturbing the Louisiana outrage at all ?
Wo still liuvo statesmen among us.
A Washington dispatch of the 10th gives
the provisions of Gen. Gordon’s bill, in
troduced in iho Senate, granting Govern
ment aid to tho Great Western ami Atlan
tic Canal. L directs tho Comptroller of
Currency to issue to the Atlantic uud
Great Western Cunul Company currency
notes to tho extent of $80,000 per mile
for each seotiou of ten miles of the cunul
that shall be constructed, provided tho
company’s first mortgage forty year
bonds to an equal amount shall have pre
viously boon deposited with him us secu
rity for the government. Tho currency
so issued to bo redeemed by tho compa
ny’s paying annually into tho United States
Treasury a mini not loss thau G per cent,
of tho total amount issued.
Death or Postmaster Dunning.—We
learn from tho Atlanta Herald that M
James L. Dunning, Postmaster at At
lanta, died there on Monday night. Ilis
age was (II years. His honlth had been
declining for some years. Mr. Dunning
was a man much liked personally in tho
community in which ho lived, and wo
boliovo as an official ho gave satisfaction
to all but those who wanted bis place and
their immediate friends.
It might ho supposed that tho death of
Mr. Dunning at this particular juncture
would decide the contest for the Atlanta
postoffice in favor of Bard. But it is an
nounced from Washington that another
aspirant, uud a strong one in influential
official circles, had already put in a claim.
Tho uew candidate is It. J. Wiles, late of
Iudiana. It is snid that ho is a close per
sonal friend of the 2d Assistant Postmas
ter General, uud is hacked by Senator
Morton and otherinon in influence. We
learn from tho Herald that a petition
asking his appointment was iu circulation
in Atlanta on Monday. We hope that the
Wiles of these petitioners will prevail
over Bards, which have long bcou dis
gusting to the people of Georgia.

As our Atlanta advices show, the House
of Representatives has passed tho hill
providing for the extension of tho Macon
and Brunswick Railroad to Covington, or
Home other point on the Georgia Railroad.
Our intelligence from Atlanta leads us to
believe that the Semite will also pass tho
hill. Unless tho provisions of tho origi
nal bill buvo boon changed by amend
ment, it grants Stato aid to the extension
in a new loriu—by turning over to tho
company tho force of Penitentiary con
victs to work on the road. It is believed
that with this largo working force, the
subscription of $1,050 per mile by the
city of Macon and individual subscrip
tions there uud elsewhere along the line
will bo sufficient to complete the work.
Tho State, as our readers know, is now
running tho Macou A Brunswick Rail
road, having taken it in eln-re ns tho
best means of protecting its own interest.
It does not pay ruuuiug expousos and tho
iuterost ou its bonded debt. Tho Stato
is endorser of its bonds to tho amount of
$2,500,000, und is greatly interested in
any proposed extension that will make it
pay better. It is on this grouud, chiefly,
that the hill before the Legislature has
obtained such strong support. The peo
ple of Macon are earnestly and actively
in favor of tho oxtensiou, because it will
give thorn another connection with the
northwest, which they hope to render
more direct by the ultimate extension of ; dri
the road to tho Tennessee line, ruuuiug
through a section of country as jot not
traversed by a railroad, und bringing a
new and valuable trade to Macon. Of
course their active support of it is natural
nud justifiable.
It is understood that tho extension re
ceived no support from the Central Rail
road interest, uud was opposed by those
most interested in the Western and At
lantic road, to which it may become a
rival if it is ever extended north of Cov-
iugtou. Wo trust that the extension, if
THIN Ml HDERF.lt.
Our readers will remember that, a few
days since, we published the testimony in
tho case of the murder of young Davis
by one A. B. Eiland, of Crawford, Ala.
The murder was among the most cowardly
and wicked that wo have been called on
to chronicle in tho bloody list we have
given in tho last nine months. We spoke
about this murder as we are wont to, very
candidly—and wo speak candidly, whether
right or wrong, as Oliver Cromwell fought,
in this Inter day, and Joshua battled of
old, because wo feci wo are on tho side of
the Great Jehovah. Home will call this
puritauism, and others profanity ; but, as
wo believe wo are right, wo care very
littlo for adverse criticism, and propose
to “go ahead,” like Davy Crockett.
Last evening, about sunset, u man
canto to our office to stop his paper.
This is not an uncommon occurrence,
and it usually happens after wo bavo de
nounced a murder. We propose to pub
lish the list of murderers' friends after a
while. But to come hack to the man.
He stood about five foot four inches high,
was nearly fifty yoars of ago, and weighed
porhaps two hundred pounds; so the
reader will see the man was inclined to
ho corpulent. Ho was dressed plainly,
but this wo did not notice ro
much an the straight, dark
huir mixed with gray, and whiskers of tho
same hue. His face was florid like that
of a man who drank frequently, and his
moulh was large, coarse and sensual. Ho
wore a slquched black-felt hat, and tho
whole appearance of tho man was that of
a Cincinnati foreman butcher out for a
Saturday night spree. His right hand
had a dirty white rag wrapped about it,
and this wo noticed first when ho called
our name, mentioned his own and ox-
tended the hand with tho bandage around
it as be told us ho was going to stop his
paper. Wo could not refrain from ask
ing, as wo heard tho name “Eiland!” “Are
you tho] in an who murdered Davis at Craw
ford?” Ho turned palo ; his great lips
trembled and bocanio livid, and then he
stammered out, “Iain.” We invited him
away from our promises, and spoke very
frankly. In the bandaged hand that was
cut by tho closing of tho dirk knife when
this fiend buried in the hist blow the blade
in tho body of poor, dying Davis, ho again
hold a knife—a now ouo —and flourished
it ns if ho would treat in us ho did tho
husband of tho poor widow at Crawford,
tho father of the three poor babes, who
will listen in vain at tho door of their
desolate homo for tho coming of their
palo, cold father. And this man walks
our streets under a bail of five thousand
dollars, tho estimate a corrupt Alabama
judge places on a human being’s life !
No wonder God doos not smile ou such a
State. It is a wonder lie doos not sink
it, and lot another Dead Soa wash its for-
mor sito.
This man Eiland, it is said, went homo
last night. Wo doubt it. Ho cuu novor
moro have tho courage to travol alono
after dark, no matter what arms ho car
ries. The wind wailing through tho trees
would startle his soul, for he would hear
the last cry of tho dying man singing in
Iris oars “Bunk, don't kill mo.” In vain
would ho urge his horso, for through tho
wretched life before him that cry, sleep
ing and waking, will sound liko an ovor
present voice. Jlo may lie down in his
hod aftor getting to liis homo, and drink
the mean liquor lie deals in, but it will
not keep away the voice that must corno
with tho sighing of tho wind iu
tho gables, or tho beating of the rain ou
tho roof. In it ho will hoar tho man ho
moat foully murdered begging again for
lifo. He will hear in every chjingo tho
<*ry of that poor widow, when her palo
laocrutod husband, dead from his knife,
was carried into her prosouco, and tho
sobs of tho little ones, who kissed tho pale
lips, nud clung to the bloodless hand, re
fusing to believe their father did not live.
He may drink to drown the memory, but
iu tho very pbrensy of his intoxication,
the l>l(*od will lonvo his face, as it did
yesterday, and in tho delirium intended
to produce forgotfulnesBs, tho form of
murdered Davis will riso before his cow
ardly oyoR, and ho will hear the cry with
increasing force, “Bunk, don't kill me !”
Free this man, ye people of Alabama,
and add another curse to your State, and
oxtoiul unolhor invitatiou to red-haudod
murderers to make widows uud orphans
and to fill your graveyards with murdered
men. Hold tho mockery of a trial to tho
insult of justice, nor give hoed to the
command, “Thou Hhult not kill.” Al
ready a foul party is bringing homo the
curse. Famine is stalking through the
land, shaking her gaunt arm; and Want,
in the rags of Poverty, is knocking «t tho
doors of her farmers. Her best men lie
humbled in tho dust. They soorn to hsvo
lost tho manhood to riso nud destroy the
cowardly immlerers whoso hands are
reeking with blood, and whose unchecked
presence in wkat was onco a glorious
State invokes tho wrath of the God who
gives us life.

UTNE DRINKING ft C HI PT(/ft AL
LY (ONNIDEHKD.
A SERMON DELIVERED BY REV. C. A. KEN
DRICK OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF
COLUMBUS, OA., JAN. 25TH, 1874.
In my sermon on last Sabbath night. I
made one or two remarks on the subject
of drinkng wine that seem to have been
misunderstood, and by some persons per
verted into a mischievous sanction of
general and indiscriminate drinking.
I was speaking about our Lord's first
miracle—the turning of water into wine
—at the Marriago Feast in Cana of
Galileo.
While on this subject, I made tho state
ment, somewhat incidentally, that this
little, yet interesting and significant inci
dent in our Saviour’s ministry afforded
little “aid and comfort” to those persons
who hold and teach that to drink wine is
a thing sinful in itself, and to be every
where and at all times discountenanced.
I stnted further, that so far from holding
such an opinion myself, I believed that
our Creator had made tho grape for be
nevolent purposes—like everything that
He has created, and that He intended
wine should be used under such condi
tions and lii/iitutions as Ho has thrown
around it.
At tho same time I attempted to guard
against tho abuse of this principle by
some quotations showing the evils of ex
cess and intemperance in this matter, urg
ing that in this, as in other things, Chris
tians, especially, should let their modera
tion bo known {o'atl men, and if need be,
forego the use of It bfitircly, when it is
for their own good or the good of others.
It seems that some pooplo, perhaps the
majority, treat sermons just as many
children treat plum puddings when they
pick out the plums and loavo tho main
part of the pudding to others.
So I have boon told that some youug
moil who wore present and heard my re
marks ou that occasion, went away chuck
ling over the fact, that the preacher had
said “it’s no harm to drink wine,” and
now father and mother needn’t say any
thing more to mo on that score; I’ve got
the preacher on iny side of tho question.
And also that soino of the older and
moro pedate brethren shook their heads
ami said: “Ah, that won’t do; that’s not
consistent; that idea will ruin tho young
folk’s,” Ac.
Both of these parties, young and old,
wine drinkers and cold water men, seem
ed to forget or uttery to ignore tho fact,
that the preacher had also said, “it is a
taste, which easily leads one into excess,
and for that reuson, if a young man finds
the desire for it growing upon him, ho
should ubaudon it altogether.” “That the
Sorptures did not havo any express inter
diction ou all wine drinking, but that
there was, nevertheless, a fearful, indi
vidual, soul-responsibility iu this matter,
resting ou every man.
Whilo stating, furthermore, that I had
never signed a total abstinence pledge, I
yet declared that if I should find my taste
for tho hevornge loading mo into bondage
I would sign, if need be, a hundred
pledges to got freed from it."
Other words of similar import woro
spoken, but tlieso, it seems, were not tho
“plums" of the sermon, and few seemed
to notice them. '
Fearing, .Uiorofoa\ Jest the impression
nud iiMuenco of my discourse on that oc
casion, and particularly so much of it as
liud reference to wine drinking, might ho
porvortod, and productive of evil ratlior
than of good, I havo decided to discuss
the whole subject fully to-day, uot only to
place my own views in an unmistakable
light, but also to givo tho Scriptural
teaching on tho whole question, and 1
hopo that this search after truth on a sub
ject of such confessed importance, will
ho productive of good to us nil.
I shall treat the subject in tho fol
lowing manner, discussing tho topics se
riatim:
(I) The sanction which tho Scriptures
givo to tho drinking of wine.
(II) Tho restrictions and prohibitions
of the same.
(III) Tho ovils of indulgence.
(IV) Our duty in the matter.
First, thou, as to tho sanction which the
Scriptures give to drinking wino.
There is no lack of proof, both scriptu-
tural and historical, that the grape was
extensively cultivated-and that pure wino,
tho juico of the grape, was drunk by tho
Jews, God’s chosen pooplo. Not ouly so,
hut scripture statements abound in which
Jehovah encouraged the people to culti
vate tho vino and gave his sanction to the
uso of wino. It is a consideration of
these facts, primarily, that leads conserv
ative'men to hold that tho driukiug of
wino is not an evil in itself—since God
both allowed uud on joined it, and lie is
not tho author of evil.
It is, therefore, iu substantiation of this
view, that I adduce the following passages
of Scripture:
Genesis ‘J, 20. “And Noah began to
bo a husbandman and ho planted a vine
yard.” It is true Noah was not a Jew,
(there being no Jews in his day) hut ho
was a righteous man, nud os such was
saved from the flood.
Ecclesiastes 2, 4. “I made me great
works, I budded me houses, I planted mo
vineyards.”
Jeremiah 31,5. “Thou shall yet plant
vines upon the mountain of Saiuuria. Tho
planters shall plant, and shall eat them as
common things.”
1 Kings 4, 25. “And Judah and Israel
dwelt safely, every man under his vino
and under his fig tree from Dan oven to
Beer Sheba all tho days of Solomon.
Isaiah 05, 8. “Thus saith the Lord, as
the now wino is found in the cluster and
one saith destroy it not for a blossing is
in it. So will I do for my servant’s sakes,
that I may not destroy them all.”
Mark 12, 1. “And he began to speak
unto them by parables: A certain man
planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about
it, and digged a place for tho wino vat,
and built a tower and let it out to a hus
bandman.”
Here we have a few quotations (and a
hundred more might he given) haviug ex
plicit reference to the culture of the vine.
We find upon a careful study of the vari
ous passages that - treat of this subject,
that God’s blessings upon Israel are rep
resented by tho full vine, and the flowing
wino press, liis curses ou them, under
the figure of a vine without grapes, or a
vineyard that is torn down ami destroyed.
So much for the vine. Now follow
some passages that speak specifically of
wino and its uses:
Jeremiah 35, 5. “And I set before the
sous of tho house of tho Rochobitos pots
full of wine, and I said, unto them drink
ye wine.” (We read further on that they
refused to drink it.)
Deut. 14, 20. “And thou shalt bestow
that money for whatsoever thy soullusteth
after, for oxen, or for sheep or for wine,
or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy
soul desireth,” Ac.
Deut. 12, 17. “Thou mayest not eat
within thy gates, tho tithe of thy corn, of
thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of
thy flock, nor of any of thy vows
which thou vowest,” Ac. “But thou must
eat of it, and drink of it before the Lord
thy God, in the place which the Lord thy
God shall choose.”
Deut. 18, 3 4. “And this shall be the
Priest’s due * * a shoulder, two cheeks
and the maw; the first fruits also of thy
corn, of thy wine, and of thy oil.”
Numbers 0, 20. “And the Priest shall
wavo them for a wave offering before the
Lord. This is holy ♦ * * aud after
that the Nazarito may drink wino.”
Deut. 10, 13. Thou shalt observe tho
Feast of Tabernacles seven days aftor that
thou hast gathered iu thy corn and thy
wine.”
Zech. 3, 17. “For how great is His good
ness, and how groat is His beauty. Corn
shall make the young men cheerful, and
new wino the maids.”
Proverbs 31, G. “Givo strong drink
unto him that is ready to perish, and wine
unto those that be of heavy hearts.”
John 2, 1-10. “There was a marriago
in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of
Jesus was there, and both Jesus was call
ed, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother
of Jesus saith unto him, ‘they havo no
wine.' Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee, mine hour
is not yet come. His mother saith unto
the servants whatsoever he siith unto you
do it. Aud there were sot there six water
pots of stone, after the manner of the pu
rifying of the Jews, containing two or
three firkins (from 15 to 20 gallons)
apiece.” (This would be an enormous
total of a hundred gallons—a little more
or less.)
“Jesus saith unto them, fill tho water
pots with water. And they filled them
up to tho brim. And he saith unto them,
draw out now and hear unto the Governor
of the feast, and they bare it. When the
ruler of tho feast had tasted the water that
was made wine, and knew uot whence it
was, but the servants which drew tho
water know, the Governor of the feast
called tho bridegroom and saith unto him:
Every man at the beginning doth set forth
good wine, and when men havo well
drunk—then that which is worse ; but
thou hast kept tho good wine until now.
Luke 5, 37, 33.—“And no man put-
totli now wine into old bottles, (or skins)
else tho new wine will burst the bottles
aud tho bottles perish. But now wine
must he put into new bottles, and both
are preserved. No man also having drunk
old wine, straightway desireth now, for he
saith the old is better.”
Wo have next the institution of Tho
Supper.
I. Cor., 1R 25 27.—“After the same
manner also, he took tho cup, when he
had suppod, saying: This is the New
Testament in my blood. This do ye, as
oft as ye drinl: it, in remembrance of mo.
For as oft as ye eat this cup uud drink
this bread, ye do show tho Lord’s death
till ho come.”
1 Timothy, 5, 23.—Paul’s injunction, or
advice to Timothy : “Drink no longer
water, but uso a little wine for thy
stomach's sake and thine oft infirmities.”
I have now quoted all the passages that
T could find in both Old and New Testa
ments that give any direct and express
sanction to using wine as a drink ; and al
though thoro are ouly about a dozen of
them that clearly allow and enjoin its use
yet these are sufficient surely to contro
vert tho theory that the drinking of wine
is per se a sin; and that (to carry out the
argument) tho world has really no use for
wine. Such a view is, to ray own mind,
an impeachmont of His benevolence, who
made all things (including the grape) and
who pronounced all His creations “good;”
an impeachment of His wisdom and bene
volence, who reared the vines on Judah’s
hills, and who at Jin of Galilee turned
the water into wine for a marriage feast.
Brethren, let us not, in order to over
come an evil, or to uphold the right, take
such extreme views that, boing oftentimes
really untenable, not only fail to accom
plish tho good we desire, but absolutely
work an injury to the cause we would
maintain.
It is for this reason, namely, that so
many hold and preach that certain things
like wino drinking, dancing and theatre-
going are iu themselves violations of
moral law, and scriptural injunctions;
that I would lubor so so long, and so ear
nestly, to call your attention moro to the
deep uuderlying priuciple involved, so
that these things may not always bo hastily
adjudged and harshly criticised by impulse
aud prejudice.
The point I make is this : “Drinking
wine is not essentially a sin.”
Going to a theatre is not essentially a
sin.
Dancing is not essentially a sin, but
rather, drinking wiue may, and does lead
easily into sinful and ruinous indulgence.
Going to tho theatre or circus may, and
does for tho most part, lead ouo to objec
tionable places, aud throws ouo into dis
reputable society, aud produces an influ
ence which is alike detrimental to one’s
own character aud to the good of others.
Dnuciug may, aud very often does lead
the mind captive, with its fascinations
conduce to an evil love of excitement—an
injury to both health aud morals.
Driukiug wine canuot bo an evil in
itself. God allowed it to be used by His
own people—the Jews. Yea, further, He
enjoyed the uso of it in religious obser
vances, It canuot hr a sin. for our Savior
made it for a marriago feast, and, no
doubt, drank of it.
More than that, He took tho wine, somo
of which they were using at the Paschal
Supper, aud made it represent to the dis
ciples His own precious blood, which was
soon thereafter to be shed ou Calvary for
them and for us.
Paul, tho iuspired Apostle, you will
notice, urges Timothy, who was some
thing of au invalid, to use wine ontirely
as a beverage until tho restoration of his
health.
But I hopo that the point I have been
trying to mako is sufficiently established
and that all will agree with me that it is
not the use, but the abuse, of a thing that
constitutes the sin.
Do I scorn to favor general wine drink-
