Rs1The New Year opened on Sunday last
under the bright auspices of one of the brightest
days of the winter, May its conclusion be as
propitious as its opening is suspicious, 1t will
be year worth living in, and to the end Of In
it the greatest political problem of the age will
be solved whether the undoubted will of the
majority shall be expressed and enforced wheth-
or the purity of the ballot box shall be sustained
whether the institutions and constitution of our
country shall be preserved amid the clamor and
hot-headedness of blatant minority, and wheth-
the administration of government shall be re-
turned to the ancient and safe principles of guild
.ance
But to turn from politics to ourselves, we have
at this outset of the new year, many thanks to
tender to our friends and patrons for their kind
ness and generous sympathy thus far in our ca
reer as connected with the ENQUIRER, and to ten

the consciousness of an endcavor to please all
our patrons, We may be permitted to suggest,

4 Good yangsnisat.-The trustees and off,
cial members Of the Centenary Methodist
Church in this city, have come to the resolu-
ton that when marriages are to be sOlemnlZed
i'll that church only those persons will be adj
mi,ted to witness the ceremony who have been
iHviied, and present tickets of invitation to
the sexton at the door. This course has been
adopted to prevent the disorder which too Of
ten occurs at public marriages in this city
There are very many persons who claim the
right 10 attend every marriage, 1T any and
every church in Richmond. and in one or more
instances she distuT bance has been SO great
that the preacher Sad 10 threaten to call i'll po
licemen to restrain the diSorderly. This did
not occur at Centenary, but on several recent
occasions uninvited persons attended III srch
numbers thai those invited were unable to obs
tain en- ntrance and sea Is in shea building. These
crowds eyinced an utter disregard Of the pro-
prieties Of the place, by crowding about tfa
chancel. standing upon the cushions and up a
the backs of the pews, to the manifest injury OF
the house Under the new arrangement the
members Of the congregation can be married
al the church and by the pastor, without the
annoyance of being gazed at by multitudes OF
strangers. We should think that il was de-
eided improvement, and one that wonld be
grateful to parties wishing to be married at
church.
