WE publish elsewhere the com
ments OF the Courier on the sermon
delivered last Sunday by Rev. r. An
drus, Of Evansville, touching upon
the moral effects of theaters. 1t evil

and bigoted mind when minister
quits the recognized field of his la
bors and attacks the honest and inno-
cent amusements of the people. and
savors too strongly of that religious
prescription which. in times past, was
the fruitful cause of so much unjust
persecution. When such plays as

Register.
The above was published. we pre-
sumo, before the Register saw the
second article in the Courier disavow-
ing all responsibility for the one
which seems to give it so much salts
faction. The editor of the Register
seems to think that the representation
of vice upon the Boards has a ten
dency to make it hateful to all who wit
ness the representation. In this he is
much mistaken. The first public ex-
hibition of beheading by the French
guillotine created, no doubt, feeling
of horror on the part of the specta-
tors. But history tells us that the
( populace of Paris afterwards became so
fascinated with its operations that
they would rush to witness its execu-
tons as to festival. PoPE gives a
more correct exposition of the effects
resulting from public representations
of vice. He says:
'.Vice Is a mo nster of so rrightful mien,

Don PIATT, the Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Com
ntercial, is responsible for some terri
BILE insinuations relative to President
JoHNsoN's connection with the as
sassination of President LINCOLN
Commenting on the statement of the
President that his Christmas Am
nesty Proclamation did not include
ARNOLD, MUDD, and SPANGLER, con
fined at the Dry Tortugas, Mr.. PIATT
says:
Whether they are or not, 40 one
dreamed, for moment, ''the party by
the name of johnson" intended to
include them. It will be observed
that whenever we touch on the assas-
sinatiou, or any branch of it, Andrew
grows furiodsly radical-and wants to
hang some one.
This is easily accounted for. An.
drew feels in his bones that had he
been put on trial with Mrs. Surratt,
and the facts, now we'll known
proven, that he was a boon com
panion of Booth 's-that he had a
mysterious call from the assassin on
the day of the night the horrible
deed was committed, his providential
neck would have been in a parlous y
condition. l wouldn't have given an
agricultural report for his chances
Not that we believe he could have
been proven guilty of completely in
the fearful crime, but the evidence
was so much stronger than that which
convicted Mudd and Spangler. An
drew feels this, say, and 1t is human
nature for him to take sides-and
though it may be doubted, and even
disputed, [ believe there is a good
deal of human nature, of one sort or
another, in Andrew.

bin and statement referred to both meet

official capacity ssgllq8T a.s8 ftsar111
This fact alone is sufficient to ensure q
respectful attention to the proposed scheme,
as the reputation of=fhe Southern Bank for
sound and prudent policy is above question.
A perusal of the documents referred to has
not enabled us to detect any Of the flaws
that have proved fatal to previous legisla-
tive plans for relieving city finances. Ex-
orbitant interest lis avoided, while ample
provision is made for the payment of inter
est and principal of the proposed bonds.
The bin provides that bonds, to. the
amount Of three millions of dollars, bearing
five peg cent. interest; ands TO the amount
OF two millions more, bearing six per. cent.
interest, shall be issued, the interest con-
pons to be paid semi annually in either
New Orleans OF New York, at the option of
the stockholder. These bonds S are all 70 be
deposited with the fiscal agent. They shall
not be disposed of in any way, except in
exchange at par for the debts of the city !;
the five per cent. bonds for city money and
the six per cents fer the balance OF the
hoating debt, such rs Judgments, Warrants,
etc. Every month the fiscal agent shall
