G. B. Lamar.
ATLANTA Constitution.

lAtiAnth SOnetltuttOn.
| The New York Times has this cbaracter
istic notice of Mr.. Lamar's death:
"Gazaway B. Lamar, the venerable rebel.
who died in this city on Monday, the 5th
| inst, was characteristic specimen of the
fire. eating school, of which William l.,
| Yancey and HA Bob -Toombs were mem.
bers. At the time of the secession of South
| Carolina, in November, 1860, he held the
| Office of President of the Bank of the Re-
public, in Wall street, and occupied the
time between that event and the lombard
ment OF Fort Sumpter in shipping arms and
ammunition to his fellow traitors in the
South. He also negotiated the printing of
the rebel bonds and currency by certain
New York houses, and other ways aided
the rising Confederacy to the extent of his
means. Daring the rebellion he resided in
Savannah, where he was largely engaged
in cotton specnlations and~blockade run
ming. At the close of the war he was ar
rested, fined and sentenced to several years.
imprisonment, the latter part of which SEN
tence was afterward RENTED by President
Johnson Lamar, in recent suit against
the Government, in which he EMPLOYED
Gen. Butler as his counsel, recovered over
5000, 900 for cotton illegally destroyed
during the war. He was at one time owner
of the yacht Wanderer, and largely inter
ested in tho African slave trade. His son,
Col. Charles A. Lamar, was killed IN the
military service of the rebellion. Mr.. La
mar. sr., at the time of his deatL, was in
hs 77th year."
1t is related that Socrates, when praised
by great scamp, exclaimed: "What in
fanny have 1 committed that this fellow
should eulogize me Z" The great philoso-
pher doubtless intended to express, by this
remark, that the abuse of acme people ia
preferable to their praise. Upon this prin-
ciple, the sneering obituary of the Times
the mortal en- envy of every thing Confederate
may pass as a compliment to Mr.. Lamar
with all of his fellow traitora.n Mr.
Lamar had his faults, like all mortals; but
he had great and shining virtues, especially
some which are not characteristic of the
Puritan. school. His bequest of $lO0, 600 to
found an asylum for INDECENT negroes in
Savannah, is in striking contrast to Mr..
Sumner, who had an infinite amount of fine
words for the black people during life, but
took precious good care to leave them not a
single cent at his death. 1t may be, too.
that Mr.. Lamar's heart was touched by the
great distress brought upon MANY aged
negroes in Savannah, by that pious Radical
fraud, the Freedman's bank. His legacy
comes in good time to succor destitute
blacks, whose little all was swallowed nm |

srous and honest in his convictions. In
lis death, he has rather shamed the philan-
hropy of the Jay Cooke Sumner school of
men, who place the negro on the road to

Tho Archbishop Of Malines on Religious Music in
Churches.

Mgr. Deschamps, Archbishop of Malines,
has addressed to the clergy of his Diocese
an imrortant instruction relating to the
performance of ecclesiastical music. His
Grace whites as follows
i. The Holy Fathers and the Councils
teach rs that singing and music ought not
to be admitted into the Liturgy except for
the purpose of celebrating in more SOL
emn manner the praises of God, of adding
to the spiendor of the worship of the Divine
Majesty, and of awakening in the souls of
the faithful tho desire of heavenly things.
For this purpose We recommend earnest
ly to tho clergy, both of parish churches
and of private chapels, to make use of sing
ing, of tho organ, and of all other instru-
ments to this salutary end alone. We de-
sire them to put an end to, or to prevent,
abuses which IN any way may be contrary
to the sanctity of the worship which the
Church offers to God.
2. The clergy must not forget that their
functions impose upon them an obligation
to watch and see that decency, respect, and
piety should rule over everything which
accompanies the Most Holy Sacrifice of the
Msse, and every other Office of the Church
They are equally under obligation to see
that the choir, the organists, and the musi-
clans acquit themselves properly of their
task.
We call their special attention to the
following points, almost all of which are
gathered from the constitution Annus qui
kwnc, given by Pope Benedict XIV. under
the date of Feb. 10, 1749.
8. The Plain or GregoTian Chant, by the
choice which the Church has made of it,
and on account Of it's grave and pious char
aeter, merits incOntestably the preference
over all other musical song in the sacred
ceremonies.
We desire, then, that the Gregorian
Chant be maintained in those ceremonies
in ali places where it is already in use,
We desire also that it should be re- estab-
lished in those places where it has been |
abolished more especially during Advent |
and Lent, in the office of tenebrn in Holy |
Week, in all the offices of Good Friday, in l
Masses for the dead, and particularly in 4
obsequies and funerals.
4. In those places where, occasionally,
6gured music has been admitted, the clergy
ought carefully to eliminate all which can
be in opposition to the character of sacred
music. They may not tolerate the intro
dnctioI of light or noisy music, which may
trouble or distract the souls Of the faith
tnl inEead of disposing them to prayer.

the subject ana Put y INTO practical Operation the
NJ. BAyARp, tdem.) OF Del, spoke OF the action
OF the Secretary OF the Treasury In issuing part
grant Violation Of the law. He ala not think there
was q lawyer or layman who would say that re-
serve was issued In accordance with law.
OF the Secretary
HLEGALITy OF THE ADDITIONAL ISSUE.
Mr.. CONKLING trep.l said he had been sitting
here and heard the action OF the present and
former Secretary OF the Treasury commented on In
issuing that reserve until he elt his silence longer
would be q neglect OF duty. He read from the de-
bates OF 1865 wnen the bill to retire the $44 600
was discussed, and said the Senate refused to in
corporate an express provision that part OF the
money should be issued again. the secretary was
not to blame In constituting the law to enable him
to issue tnat reserve In case OF emergency. He
thought nothing short OF the provision which the
Senate refused TO engraft upon the Dll would close
the door upon the issue OF the $4,000 600 reserve.
The charge that the secretary mad been guilty
Of usurpatlon OF authority was unjust and unwar.
ranted especially IN the body which had refused
to incorporate the amendment, which would have
prevented any issue OF the reserve.
Mr. SHERMAN said the reason taat the t amena
the bill was perfect without 1t, and IL was not
deemed advisable to send 1t back to the House
after 80 much time had been consumed. He was
sorry now that the amendment had not peen
adopted, and thereby all this controversy avoided.
He hoped now that the Senator from Connecticut
tMr. Buckingham) would withdraw his motion to
recommit the Dill to equaliZe the distribution OF
currency; and ne iMr. shermanl would then
for the original bill. The matter would then be
directly before the Senate.
The CHAIR suggested to the Chairman OF the
Finance Committee that more SIMPLE way would
be to introduce the BIN this evening and have 1t
made special order Tor tomorrow.
Mr.. SHERMAN sad In order TO test the sense OF
the Senate he would move to indefinitely post
pone the bin to equalize the distribution OF the
currency and take up the bill reported by him this
morning from the Finance Committee.
Mr. FERRY. trep.) OF Mich, said SO much time
had been consumed in this discussion that now,
upon the eve OF taking the vote. IL would hardly
be just to indefinitely postpone the measure Tor
the purpose OF taking up new one.
Mr. LOGAN (rep.) took the same view as the
gentleman from Michigan.
Pending the discussion Mr.. STEVENSON moved to
adjourn.
The motion was then adopted, and the Senate at
haii.past five adjourned.

anxious to get In amendments and motions to re-
consider the vote to do anything to prevent the
nnal disposition Of the measure. The Speaker
ruled that Mr.. Dawes had undisputed possession OF
the door, and the House clamored for the regular
order. so the bill went through the final motion

the time Mr.. Dawes addressed the Speaker the

a smile OF Joy on the faces Of the country men,
Ders, who would have voted for $500, OOO 900 or
$500, 900, 600 mad the proposition been presented.
The New England delegation, with the exception
OF Mr.. Summons friend, voted against imitation.
Two-thirds or the New York delegation and about
one-half OF the Pennsylvania delegation op-
posed the increase, constituting, with the
other opponents from the Middle States,
one-half OF the minority. The Arkansas deIega-
ton voted against innation, and all but one mem.
