to the GeOrGeans.
AUGUSTA, July lex Governor John
son has written letter, in which he adj
vises the people of Georgia not to accept
the terms of the military reconstruction
bill. After reviewing the situation and
the terms proposed for the reconstruction
of the southern States, he says: I" | never
will approve or consent to or accept the
poisoned chalice offered our lips, nor will
advise my fellow-citizens to do SO if per-
mitted to vote. In view Of the turn of
events I should register, and l hope every
man in Georgia who can will do SO, with
the view of defeating the scheme for our
degradation, and the overthrow of the Re-
publican Government"

To those more closely connected with the
persuasion 10 which the editor Is attached,
he says
I'VE have reached crisis of prosperity
and wealth in our own religious community,
where this besetment becomes, we think, our
principal moral peril-where it must be
effectively arrested, or 1t may determine our
iuture character as truly spiritual, earnest
Church, or morally fallen sect. Not few
oil our people are gradually and practically
tending towards the opera, the theatre, the
social, IT not public, dance. Many of them
are otherwise excellent people-families OF
culture-of generous interest in our denom-
national weliare-liberal-un eptionable
In all other respects-misled in this one re-
spect by, perhaps, casual influences, and be-
cause the special Christian logic applicable
to the facts is not clearly presented to their
consciences.
ITO tell them that the dance is invariably
a sin, will not do. The graceful motion, the
healthful exercise, the recreation OF this
pastime in their social gatherings, are to
them facts intuitively recognized = recog-
nized not to be, per 50, sinful To say to
them that the drama or the opera is criminal,
and only criminal, will not do. "Hamlet"
they know TO be salutary and sublime

must be approved by a good conscience.
This narrow. minded construction of the

this, we had better say nothing on the sub

CHURCH FAIRS AND rApLEAux.

The prevalence of Fairs, Tableaux, games
OF chance and other schemes to make money,
have taken such deep hold on the Christian
community recently, as 10 awaken appre-
hension in the minds of good men, and lead
them TO fear that the church, instead OF
battling with the sins of the day, is rapidly
and willingly falling in line with the world
aud marching out of its sphere of usefulne IS
into the road of fashionable folly.
Upon this subject the Plenary Council of
the Roman Catholic Church recently held in
Baltimore, thus plainly speaks in its address,
I'VE consider it to be our duty to warn our
people against those amusements which NAV
easily become to them an occasion of sin
and especially against those fashionable
dances which, as at present carried on. are
revolving to every feeling of delicacv and
proprlety, and are fraught with the greatest
danger 10 morality. We would also warn
them most solemnly against the great abuses
which have sprung up in the matter of fairs,
excursions and picnics, in which, as Too
often conducted, the name of charity ia made
to cover up multitude of sins. We forbid

them, except when managed in accordance
