RELIGIOUS DUrY.-Many persons have an
idea that they are free from religious duties
until they agree to be bound by them. They
think that attendance upon worship, the sup
port of the church, the avoidance of unpro6t.
able amusements and the maintenance of
high Christian character may be binding upon
the acknowledged Christian, but they do not
apply to the irreligous man, especially the
avowed skeptic. .---....---..
But moral obligation is not created by con-
tract, nor does it depend upon belief. 1t re.
quires no contract to bring man within the
range of Gods physical laws. Disregard Of
the laws of health is punished, irrespective of
the ignorance or disbelief of him who disre-
CARDS them. Strychnine would kill, even
though the victim did not believe in the power
of poison or the fact, of death and so Of the
civil laws. 1t trequires no contract to obligate
a man to obey the laws of the State. He may
be ignorant of those laws he may refuse to
obey them ; he may deny their existence /; yet
they bind him, and for their violation he is
Justly punished. And so of the moral laws
it requires no contract to bring man under
their authority. By the very nature of his
being he is under authority.
There can be no evasion of the laws by
which God carries on His moral government.
They must be obeyed or disobeyed. Among
those laws are the duties pertaining to the
Church of Christ. That church is most i'm
portant part of that moral government. In.
deed, it is, on earth, the very embodiment of
that moral government. It's the duty ofe
cry one to whom that church is presented, to
enter it, to sustain it, and to be conformed in
conduct and character to its teachings. Each
of these duties is binding; and the uou.per'
formance of the 6rst-that Of entering the
church-by no means lessons the obligations
of the others; nor does disregard Of them all
either change their nature or diminish their
force. The divine law, which lays these du.
ties upon every one, is an eternal fact; and
neither its existence nor its power is in any
way affected by mems belief concerning it.

the repeal Of the ancient law forbidding

winter and to be distributed in the spring
over districts most favorable for their
reproduction, under an act Of Legislature
passed at their instance to meet such
emergencies as the present. 1t ia we'll

scatter some straw about; feed them q
little corn and a little wheat; add here

A Significant Hint 10 the NIch-

New ORLEANS, January l5.-The fol-
lowing was received at a late hour last
night and copies furnished to Packard
and Nichols:
WASHINGTON, D. G., January IA.
10 Gen. Q. @, AGgur, NaC Orleans, La:
lthas been the policy Of the Admins.
tration to take no part in tho settlement
Of the question of the rightful govern.
ment Of the State Of Louisiana, at least
until the Congressional committees now
there have made their reports. But II Ia
not proper to sit quietly by and see the
State government gradually taken pos.
session Of by one Of the claimants for
Gubeonatorial honorS by illegal means.
The Supreme Court sctnp by Mr.. Nichols
can received no more recognition than
any other equal number Of lawyers con.
vcned on the calloi any other citizen OF the
State. A returning board existing in ac-
cortlance with the law, and having jndi-
cial, rs well rs ministerial powers over
the count Of the votes, and in declaring
the result Of the late election, have given
certificates Of election to the Legislature
OF the State. A legal quorum Of each
House, holding such certificates, met and
declared Mr.. Packard Governor, and.
should there be necessity Tor the recog-
tion OF either, il must be Packard. You
may furnish copy OF this to Packard
and Nichols.

HOW IT AFFECTS THE PARTIES.
Republicans here are much excited
over the news from Washington and the
new phase Of affairs, while the Democrats
assert that the order OF the President to
Gen. Augur will not compel him to inter-
fere unless to prevent bloodshed. Mich
oils and the Democratic Legislature do
rot heed Packard's proclamation Of this
morning and the former will resist any
attempt Of Packard to recapture the
courts or the State House. Gen. Augur
does not regard the order of the President,
received last night, as mNtererially chang
ing his former instructions.
AHA, NJ there isno material change
in the situation. Large crowds OF colored
people have assembled around the State
House, where the Republican leaders are
iubilant over news from Washington.
Governor Packard declines to state what
measures, if any, he will take TO secure
obedience to his proclamation, further
than this, it is his earnest desire to avoid
bloodshed or to create bitterness against
his administration, lie is now in con-
snltation with the Jndse Of the Supreme
Court.
