OF tho Georgetown Times lurr'shns tho following
information regarding the tleatitution in that de-
trict:

something onght to he done at once. l hayc WIT

TEE FoUnTH COMMANDMENT In the present uu-
settled con6tion Of tho country tho mind is apt to
revert to tho ''good old times OF the ontc-bcilum
era, and contrast the quiet and order which then
reigned supreme with tho Generalization that
now oxists This is particularly noticeable III the
tlesecration of tho Sabbath which has recently be-
come quito a common crime, and tho luy Of rest
is now made ONO OF enjoyment. IN tho wesiern
portion of tho city, groups Of men and boys collect
in the burnt district and tho vacant lots in tho
Upper Wards, and spend tho day in playing base
ball. Aside from tho roprohensible character OF
this employment, parties living n tho vicinity aro
frequently ineonrenionced by The noise and bois-
ferrous language in which tho players indr'ge.
Although Charleston has never aspred TO Puri
tanism, her citizens have been accustomed TO con-
aider Sabbath-brcakiYg as q cri,no, and the muu-
cipal authorizes were prompt in anppressins
any attempt to engage i'll secular employments
Since tho war q change has como over the land,
and persons who formerly respected religion, now
openly desecrate the day set apart for its obsorv
anoo Base Ball has been called on American
game, and it's dey0teos dro to bo found in every
city, but the enthusiasm of this pastimo should
not lead the clubs 10 SOLICIT Sunday for their
sport.
in}G tr, fhp ,-in if10 0f
th1ir grounds have been frequent, but the base
bah mnniR is OH the brain and nothing can induce
the players to dcsis. Their present course is con-
trary to NIL rnles of law aud orlor, but e tho game
must DO played, and they havo spare tmo but
Sunday there aro several old fields in tho suburbs
that would be better Huited for this sport than the
burnt district or vacant lots OF tho city
