The Chicago Methodist ministers are trou-
bied about the proper arrangement and neral
limitation OF Pastoral Visits. At their regular
social meeting last week they took up the sub
ject seriously and lid largely talk it over. IN.
Leonard thought "a good man in no danger
whatever in visiting any kind of house." Mr..
Mulinger chad never been tempted-not in
the least" Mr.. Gloss, when he thought II
necessary. always took Mrs. Gloss with him.
MIR. Mcheoun adduced the example of ST.
Paul. who "shunned not the females of his
flock" and yet "he gave great cautions"
DR.. Jutkn thought "the difference between
pastoral and social visiting should be distinct
~ marked He thought also that the preach
er should 60 as Shepherd, and as a Bishop
OF Souls Generally he suspected that olergy-
men "were too strong on the social side and
too weak on the religious side" "That is the
only trouble said DR.. Peck As might have
been expected, the meeting came to no def
mite conclusion upon point which admits Of
npne' "nlsss 1t be that "a true minister" ss
hr. MulfinGer observed, "could not ba

An Emphatic Endorsement of
the Taxpayers Memorial.

The following preamble and resolu.
tions were introduced in the Georgia
Senate, BY Mr.. Gilmore, and agreed to
on Thursday last, and were eoncurred
in by the House on the same day:
Whereas, the tax-psying citizens Of
South Carolina, In, Convention assem-
bled, have addressed the morality, the
justice, and patriotism of the people Of
the United States, in a memorial to
Congress, by which twas made to ap-
pear that they are suffering from an or
eanizcd system of oppression. under
thea6oEuof a local government, inau-
gprated amid the chaos of revolution
BY unprincipled political adventures.
and sustained through the co-opera-
tion of their unfortunate dupes, the re-
Gently enfranchised negroes; an d
whereas, this appeal to the people.
comes to us, citizens Of Georgia, who,
through Providence, have escaped the
tyranny of the oppression which these,
our brethren Of South Carolina, have
so long endured. Therefore. be it
I. Resoloed, ~ the Senate and
House of Representatives Of Georgia,
That the representations made by the
memorial of the Taxpayers Convcn-
tion, recently held in Columbia, South
Carolina, present a catalogue Of ost-
rage and wrong, scarcely having. q
parallel in the annals of Christian civ
ilization, and is an appeal to the patriot
ism and moral sense of the people Of
the United States, demanding their
grayest consideration.
2. Resozced, That as the genius OF
eur. Republican form Of government
rests in security only in the virtue and
intelligence Of the citize6, these can
not be ignored without destroying the
safeguards of liberty, and without cor
rupting the form o:'government estab-
lished by our fathers.
2. Resolced, That We extend our
sympathy to the good people of South
Carolina in the ordeal through which
they have been called to pass; and
while We cannot but admire the spirit
Of forbcarance and fortitude with which
they have endured these outrages and
suffered these wrongs, We condemn the
perpetrators thereof as being RESPONSE
bic for the. material ruin of gallant
people and the overthrow of the Re-
publican government ola great State.
4. Resolved, That our representa-
tives in the Congress of the United
States be requested to co operate with
the delegates from the Taxpayers
Convention of South Carolina in Sc
curing such representation. of their
grievances, and remedy therefor, as
may be deemed expedient.

The Incorporate drinking Of intoxi-
eating liquors is one of the most prev
ale,it vices of our country. It is on
thc increase and the rapidity with
which it is perneatiny the entire
social system is truly alarming. Men
DO not see the precipice that.lies yawu-
ing before them when they indulge in
this dangerous habit. They should
stop to consider and ask themselves Of
what advantage drinking is to them.
What real good results from it. 4
few moments Of pleasure is probably
enjoyed, but the hours of depression
which follow, render the pleasure desr
bought While no moral blame csn
attach to simply taking one drink, yet
excess is sinful, and the tendency to
excess SO GREAT aud human resolution
SO weak, that it is the part If true
wisdom to avoid the cup as treach-
erous eucmy WAC would stab while he
smiles.
The habit is expensive, uuwise,
uaproEtable: unmanly, dangerous, in
furious t. body, to miud and to soul.
It is pureinrd, vulgar. ipinicsl to
manners, morals, sh4 society. The
pulpit docs not dcaounce this rleo az
it should, temperanc" organizations are
not Jealous enough, society wiaks at
and nurses i, too mu:h. ItShould be
checked ii possible. by the united cf
fort Of all tn; g.,od and Intelligent, for
it. cur.. fills most heavily upon the
Innocent, wbi!e tbs guilty reap neither
real pleasure nor profit. but ipstesd
disgrace and everlasting ruin.
The. women of the West, however
much they are laughed at by simple
sons, are engaged in a noble effort to
suppress this e7i!. and should have
the encouragement and iWit4ssiiSSnn of
i! xho loye sobrlety and mlrailty.
There is nothing iaashsble in en- earn
est effort 10 save Husbands, sass and
brothers from the curse Of drink, but
it is rather commendab!e and worthy
of support. Who in South Csrolina
is 60 brave aud Independent as to be-
an d aspssde like that carried ON In
the Wss4 against inttsmBeratee?
