Being asked whether he had any
trouble in effecting the continuance of
bonds in London, Assistant Secretary
Upton said to-day: Everyone was
anxious to have their bonds contin-
ued at the lower rate of interest, and
lots of them tried to have them re-
ceived after we quit taking them.
They seem to be glad to make any in
vestment there that will payanything.
While | was there money was worth
one per cent interest one day. There
is plenty of money, but business does
not pay except the carrying trade, On
which they seem to make most of
their money now. In the agriculture
al districts there is the most depres-
sion. Land does not pay. Rents are
SO low that they only pay one and a
half per cent on the valuation, and
that seems low enough, but the farm
ers cannot compete with American
produce, and | don't believe they
could if they got the land for nothing.

neither the God Of the rich man nor
Of the poor. If anything he is the
God Of the latter.
And the industrious poor owe their
labor during the week to the support
Of their families. Who can, with JUS
tice, say that God would have them
neglect their work for pleasure during
the week.
If not, would the justice Of God de-
prive them Of pleasures which are not
sinful in the week because, they can
not 60 to them except on Sunday.
"Citizen" claims that be has l4OO
followers in this community. Surely,
he cannot sustain his estimate by the
small number Of signers, some forty,
to the document sent to the Army Of
Tennessee, asking for a change Of
day.
We respect the convictions of every
man, woman or child, bnt will always
oppose any movement whatsoever on
the part of any sect, to compel Others
to do as they arrogantly and unchari-
tably lay down as the rule which ought
to govern a community composed OF
people who entertain a variety of
ideas and convictions.
Baton Rouge, the Capital of Louis
lana, belongs to the people of the en-
tire State. There the Jews, the Chris
tians of all denominations and ideas
must have the right to exercise them,
so long as their actions are permitted
by the laws.
What the law allows on Monday or
on Thursday, cannot be considered
wrong or sinful ON the Sabbath except
by those who chose to do SO; and
those have, in that case, a perfect
right to abstain.
"Citizen" says that he has seen no
answer to ''his protest.
In the first place, a protest is never
considered one unless it is signed by
it's author. Truth and Justice pro-
testing before mankind, seek no cloak.
They appear sans peur ct sans re-
proehe in the broad sunlight.

Lieut.. Gov. Tabor, of Colorado, owns
from four to eight millions, all acquired
within four years. But his sudden
wealth was preceded by eighteen years
of poverty, deprivation and struggle for
himself and his wife. They went West
from Maine during the Pixies Peak ex-
element, spent all their money, found
no gold, and thereafter roughed it in
border settlements. In l571 he bought
in Denver $500 worth of goods for a
Leadyille store, and tried to induce the
firm to take half the Little Pittsburg
claim in payment, but they preferred
to take his note. That mine yielded
him $4,000 in three months, and even
tually 81, 100000.

A cave named after Perry is one Of the

that Perry hid himself and army in the

in showing people through it for fifteen
cents head. A brother OF John Brown
lives as hermit there.

OPINION OF THE sun.
DAY EXCURSION.
BATON ROUGE, Aug, I'd, 1881.

BATON ROUGE, Aug, I'd, 1881.
EDITOR CApfToLIAN.-I desire an
opportunity to communicate, through
the columns of your paper, from q
liberal standpoint, my view relative
to the absorbing topic lately so mop
portunely thrust upon the attention
of our community. 1t is not my pur-
pose to present this as reply to the
article appearing in the columns Of
the Advocate, nor do desire to ini-
tiate a controversy concerning the
right Or the wrong of the premises
assumed by the author. wish, sim
ply to express my opinions, as an in
dividual, upon question that, in
various ways and shapes, ever and
anon, recurs to cause agitation and
excitement in many communities in
all sections OF the country.
In almost all instances, however,
the useless and fruitless introduc-
ton Of controversies Of church dog
mas, that are inconsistent with the
spirit of our institutions, and inhar-
mOnious with the almost universal
tendency of the broad enlightenment
and the liberal sentiment of the age
in which we live, occurs in other and
remote sections, where, in the ear
lier or colonial history of this nation,
the fires of religious intolerance shed
their lurid light and their smouldering
embers still. at times, rekindle.
That the baleful spirit of religious
fanaticism has exhibited it's fierce as
pect in this community has surprised
many, and that it could find express
sion, and vehement advocacy, has as
founded those who appreciate the
large-hearted liberality and broad
liberation for which the Southern
/ people are renowned. The feelings,
motives and impulses that inspire
and actuate such sentiments here are
of the same origin and have the same
purp0sesas actuated the old Puritans,
who would not permit any enjoy
ment of freedom in religious convic-
ions, and smacks of the same puri-
tanical blgotry that sent Roger Will
liams in exile and made a loving, du-
tiful husbanda felon for engaging in
the iaudable pastime of kissing his
wife.
The consideration of this subject
simply resolves itself into the propo-
sition, that the day which is now
called the Sabbath. was instituted fol
the benefit of man, by affording hin
a brief respite from his tolls and the
recuperation of his physical vigor and
health by means of rational. innocent
recreation or, conversely, was inten-
ded as an additional weight to his
already heavy burden of tolls and
cares, and the clima1 Of his punish
ment, for being compelled to mork on
account Of the sin Of or uaworthy
progenitor, Adam. These rigid re-
quirements for the serupulous reli-
gious observance of the Sabbath-or
| Sunday, as the Sabbah--are the. re-
suits Of human bigotry and fanatic
zeal, for which there is no precedent

ending June 30th, which, under the law,
they are required to do. Failing in this,

of their offices during the quarter unac-
counted for. Among the delinquents is
the postmaster at Shreveport.

There is an outcry against mutilated
coin all over the country. Some Of the
banks positively refuse to accept gold
or silver pieces that have been tempered
with, either by clipping the edge OF by
punching holes in them. In either CASE
q certain amount Of value has been alb
stracted from the piece, and it is not
worth what it was worth.
Louisiana capitolian. (Baton Rouge, La.) 1879-1881, 1881-08-04

nor warrant in the Scriptures, 20 far
as we can ascertain.
Laying aside the undeniable fact,
that the day now observed BY the
christian churches is not the Sabbath
ordained and instituted by the Su-
preme Being we all worship and love,
I affirm that there is no evidence that
the first day Of the week was ever
observed, as the Sabbath, or ordained
and established as season Of rest
and worship, BY Jesus, or his disci-
pies.
Nor is there any evidence that the
Sabbath, as then observed by the
peculiar people," the Jews, was
characterized by the enforcement Of
such restrictions as were introduced
by puritanism, nor that the pure and
wise founder Of christianity ever en-
joined their adoption by his followers.
1t is narrated that "Jesus went on
the Sabbath day through the corn,
and his disciples, being an hungered,
began to pluck the ears Of corn, and
to eat" The Pharisees cs that era,
in their religious zeal and 6igoted ad-
herence to the forms of their faith,
censured and denounced them, as the
Pharisees of the nineteenth century
would, in like manner, protest!
Of the necessity of a day set apart
for rest and worship, and of its great
benefits to toiling men and women,
all are cognizant and all rational
minds acknowledge. But while ia
vorable to the observance of Sunday
as day of worship, of innocent re-
creation and Of moral and intellectual
improvement, rast majority of the
people Of the United States are ad-
verse to the enforcement of restric-
tons introduced by the puritanism
Of the dead past, that would forcibly
dispossess men of the right to select
their own mode Of worship or enjoy
ment of the day. The command
ment, though it forbids work, does not
prohibit recreation.
All these efforts of few 0ver-reli
gious zealots and bigots, to compel
the great masses to submit to the
restrictions and limitations they
would impose, in order to direct and
control the minds and actions of 9th
ers according to the standards and
codes and creeds they have adopted,
are prompted by an inerdinate ambi-
ton to seem possessed of a self-right-
eousness that has no foundation.
And, like the Pharisees of old, while
they insist upon the rigid observance
of the smaller external forms, they
"onit the weightier matters of the
law, judgment, mercy and faith; = and
while they, indeed, "appear beauti-
full OUTWARD, are 'rithin, full of dead
mems bones, and of all uncleanness,"
