An American on Sunday Laws.

10 the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
SIR: The remark of the Tribune, that
the movement for the suppression of crime
seems to DO perverted into q movement for
enforcement of peculiar views of Sabbath
observers, strikes me as eminently correct.
That some of our clergymen, with their re.
ligious adherents, have taken advantage of
the movement to establish their religious
notions, is so patent that the cause is losing
the sympathy Of large class of Americans
who, though in favor of the temperance
cause, do not believe in enforced observance
Of the Sabbath. protest against allowing
religious zsAloss to array tie American class
es against the right Of our German fellow
citizens to enjoy their native and innocent
beverage on the first day of the week. The
classes that these elergymen represent are
not moiely of the respectable born
American people.
The enforcement Of Sunday law might
perhaps have been practicable twenty years
age !; but the people have become 100 much

tucilities for business.
Richmond virtually owns an uninterrupted
line Of railroad through both the Carolinns
into the heart of Georgia, and there is no
reason why this line Of transportation shall
not be worked in the interest Of Richmond.
Taking advantage of this new combination
OF railroads, the merchants of Richmond
ought to put out their young men in every
direction, and solicit, advertise for, and make
business here double, treble, and quadruple
itself every few years.
