may, the full report has not come to hand
is refreshing specimen of the kind of impu-
de1ce which our Southern brethren excel in
His Excelency very suitably recommends to
bis Legislatu e that all laws passed during the
war. unsuited to their present condition, or in
conflict with their allegiance, or with the Con

He al7o expresses a hope that the time is not
far distant @when the United States will per-
ceive that we are ready to perform all our OBJ
legations to the National Government" He
then proceeds 10 Illustrate this fitness by
succession of recommend ations which give US
avery good idea of the state Of society he
would bring about. he advises a stay-law to
prevent the collection of debts, which would
deprive Northern creditors of all redress. He
thinks when the Legislature shall have APP

are restored, that the civil government win be
about complete, and that after that there will
be no necessity for continuing. the Freedmen's
Bureau. ~ f.A
Government hes not asked his advice in rela-
ton to the mat 'er. and that the obtrusion of
an opinion on the part of pardoned seces-

He SAYS that the blacks can get justice from
the Courts, THOUGH he does not propose any
plan for protection; and Re reveals tie
existence Of an element hostile to him by saw
ing that the withdrawal of the Bureau wonld
prevent all conflict of authority. He also re-
fers to the collection of taxes by Federal Off
GERS as thing very disagreeable to the feel

regret that the North Carolina delegation has

whose tears are dropping at her feet, While
she thinks of that darling son, now sleeping,
victim to the Intoxicating cup; and perhaps
she win point you to the rumsener as the one
who has brought her Affections. Her reference
is good The wretch who holds the fatal glass
to a biother's lips deserves the contempt OF
humanity, and the severest punishment at
the hands of an insulted and injured people.
But beyond this, does there lie no guilt? Is
the rumseller alone responsible for this suffer-
ing a ID misery. Why does the rumseler con-
tinue in bis wicked course? Rather why is he
ALLOWED to continue? Have we laws that guar
auty to ana man the right to open grog-
saop in every corner of our streets? Do our
laws require or permit these dens of tempta-
ton and vice to stand unmolested, and con-
tinue to scatter the seeds of grief and ruin in
the hearts Of noble people? Or have we
laws that are sufficiently strong and plain, if
property executed, to make the runaselle, trem-
bic, and close these corrupt and evil dens that
are now drawing so many OF our loved ones
down to eternal ruin? Let those whose duty
it is to execute our laws answer these ques-
tons. If our laws are sufficient, then let
them be executed. Fathers, who have seen
their sons 60 down to drunkadrs grave,
mothers who have wept over their children,
and with an aching heart have besought the
God of Heaven to preserve them from the
grasp of Intemperance, sisters who now are
weeping at the tomb of that brother, once SO
happy in his home, but who yielded to the
tempters voice. and fell victim while in

behold its results. GOOD TEMPLAR.

B. F. G. ENTERrAINMENT.-Th fourth en-
tertainment of the b. F. G. came off last ev-
ening at Cummings Hall, which was crowded
to repletion, many being obliged to stand, ev-
en- on the stairs. The performances were cap
ital. The comedy of "War to the Knife" was
well put upon the stage, and the characters
were all well sustained by the actors. We
would mention especially two, that of ''Mr.
Nubbly," and that of g. Mrs. Deacour," IL e
representations of which appeared better, and
far above far above many players who are
heralded to us with eulogistic words, simply
because they have made playing their profe;-
sion. The afterpiece was well performed, and
created great merriment.
Both pieces received marked commendation
from the large audience.
