On the subject of dancing, it SAYS: Worldly
anusements are denounced by the word of
God and by that part of our general rules
which forbids the taking of such diver
siOns as cannot be taken in the name
of the law Of Jesus. This denounciatiOn
is explicit and comprehensive. Amongst
those indulgences which cannot stand this
solemn test is the modern dance both in
its private and public exhibitions, as utterly
opposed to the genius of Christianity as
taught by us. When persisted in it
is a justifable ground of action by the
Church authorities
Upon Operatic music in churches the ad-
dress says: We do not hesitate to say that
no music should he introduced into public
worship, that is not decidedly devotional,
that no tunes should be sung 10 hymns an
nOunced by our preachers, which the con-
gregatlOn cannot join, and that the
pastors of our churches in virtue
OF their office have general
supervision of this, as well as of any other
department of public service. We give it,
also, as our judgment, that whenever in
Strumental music is practiced in our con-
gregatiOns, preludcs and interludeS should
be avoided, since they intermit singing and
consume the time allowed to the service.

u H
On Sunday morning we said of the
negro rights bill: "The end is not yet.
The Republican party cannot stand
still. This bill is no ultimatum. The
destruction of common schools In the
South will afford Hoars and Bout
wells an additional argument for the
ration taking hold of the en-.
tire educational machinery" In
the Senate proceedings of yes
terday, Stewart-the "honest miner"
of Nevada, and son-in-law by the way
of our quondam felIow-citizen Henry S.
Foote-foreshadows the next stage of
Radical progress. Some in this State,
Conservatives as well as Republicans,
have belittled the negro issue of mixed
schools, but the prospect now bids fair
for its being a national issue by
1876, because the rapidity of Radical
progress Will be intensified by the des-
peration that precedes downfall. The
substance of the proposed amendment
is that if any State fail to provide COM
mon schools for such elementary edu.
cation as Congress prescribes, then
Congress shall have power to establish
such a system to be maintained at the
expense of said State. This is Just a
trihe more severe than direct nation
al system. The later would distribute
throughout tie nation the bur-
den of educating the nations
wards, but Stewards plan i'm
poses it exclusively on the impoverish-
ell South. The North, however, is in
terested in the matter, in another way.
When Congress is empowered to ''pre-
scribe" elementary education, 1t may
also prescribe the text books, and give
us Radical histories or Democratic, ac-
cording to which party is in power. In
one shape or another, the Rad
ical party must move on, under
the pressure of 100000 negro votes,
and the new issue is likely to be made
up. Coming in the shape of a consti-
tutional amendment, there is no ques-
tion Of its constitutionality, at least
since public men have fallen into the
habit of constituting the constitution of
a live people like the testament
airy viii of dead man, /. E.:
making the last codicil paramount
to all previous provisions. But
there is a conflict with the bills of
rights incorporated in most of the
State Constitutions, and as a Federal
Amendment requires the assent of
three-fourths of the States, we are not
afraid of the issue. Let it come. 1t
is the dying struggle of Radicahsm.
Whom the gods would destroy, they
first make mad.
