The Sunday Question.
No good citizen can regard with indif
ference the controversy that is now goin? on
in this community with reference to what is
commonly termed the "Sunday Question."
The issue Is between those who would pre
serve the sacredness of the first day of the
week, or the Christian Sabbath, as a "holy''
day, of Divine appointment, for the physical
and spiritual welfare of mankind, and those
who would divest it of all religious import
ance and obligation, and treat it only as a
season for sensual recreation and enjoyment.
In such a contest we can have no hesitation
aa to which side all truly wise and virtuous
citizens should choose, and it is our purpose
to stand squarely and firmly on that ground
on which we should wish to be found in the
last day, and at the judgment-seat of Ilim
who said that "the Son of man is Lord also
of the Sabbath." In matters of purely
worldly concern, men are apt to form their
opinions and determine their course of action
in obedience to motives of preju lice, passion,
or interest But when they are required to
make up their minds and regulate their con
duct in reference to things of God's ordina
tion, which not only bear with vital effect on
the temporal well-being of society, but imme
diately concern every individual soul in its
relations to God and eternity, the ordinary
considerations which govern human opinion
and action should be allowed no influence
whatever.
The "Sunday question" need not and should
not be complicated by the discussion of any
particular violations of the Sabbatical law, or
assaults upon particular individuals who miy
be regarded as violating the sanctity of the
Sabbath. Such a course only arouses opposi
tion which otherwise would not exist, and
strengthens an essentially bad cause by en
listing in Its defense all that numerous class
of people who are ever ready to sink even
their moral convictions in order to help a
man, or party of men, whom they are led to
regard as the object of persecution.
There is a higher and broader ground on
which the character of God's day, and the
duty of Christians in relation to it, may be
and should be treated. The public mind must
be convinced that the day is consecrated by
Divine law not only to rest from all unneces
sary worldly labor, but to special religious
worship ; that it was intended not simply to
refresh the body, but to refresh and edify the
soul; that men were not merely to cease
from manual toil on one day iu seven, for the
purpose of physical health, but to so release
their minds also Irom temporal cares as to
allow them free and full contemplation of
those aiTairs and responsibilities which reach
beyond tills life ; that God kindly and merci
fully appointed one day in every week in
which lie relieved His fallen creatures from
the curse of labor, in order that they might
theieby better employ and qualify themselves,
under and in virtue of His grace, through the
sacrifice and mediation of His only Son, to
finally escape the penalty of eternal death.
There is, therefore, a fatal heresy in the idea
now preached by the advocates of a French
Sunday a Sunday that is devoted only and
altogether to sensualism. They suppose that
the time was only meant for corporeal relaxa
tion and repose, and that it may be spent just
as each person pleases to spend It, according
to his particular wishes and views to that end.
It that theory were adopted, every American
Sabbath would be a saturnalia. We should
have our cities and rural districts converted
into scenes of contusion and tumultuous dis
sipation and debauchery, regulated only
by men's tastes and . passions (or what
they might variously conceive to be the
best mode of recreating their bodies
and amusing their minds. If such
libertinism were once sanctioned by law,
it certainly would not stop with the running
of city passenger cars on Sunday, or any
other like innovation on the usual and time
honored observance of the day. Once edu
cate the people of this country to believe that
the Sabbath is a day for physical rest only,
for fun and for frolic, lor any pastime what
ever that individual inclination might prefer,
and we would inevitably convert the Lori's
Day into a jubilee of the Devil. When
a false doctrine is fairly planted in
the popular mind, there is no telling
what fruit it will bring forth. It may seem
very right or very innocent to make some
apparently 6llght innovations on our esta
blished notions as respects the nature and
character of the Christian Sabbath. Those
who would invade its ancient sanctity talk
very glibly about enabling the laboring classes
to go into the country and recreate themselves
every seventh day in the green fields, and all
that. And in order to enforce the argument
which they address to the purely selfish and
personal affections of men, they tell us that
Christ said the "Sabbath was made for
man, and not man for the Sabbath." But
they grossly misinterpret the meaning of the
quotation. It was never intended to convey
the Idea that mankind were to use the Sab
bath immorally, much less irreligiously. It
was never intended that the day reserved by
Supreme wisdom and love for saving the body
from exhausting tcfil, should be used tor the

destruction of the soul. The heal'Ji and
amusement cf a people should not be under
valued. But their morality is of far greater
consequence, both to society, and to
themselves as .immortal - beings, than
anything that concerns only their physical
condition. We can appreciate, as fully a
others, the benefit of fresh air and exercise;
the advantage of getting out Into the country
and "looking up through Nature to Nature's
God." That is all very fine. It smacks of
humanity. It appeals directly to the human
heart. But if the whole, mass of our popula
tion ould be carried into the suburbs by
means of a cheap conveyance, we seriously
doubt whether the excursionists would be
more profited in health or In morals
than they would be if compelled to
stay at home. At all events, until society can
be perfectly assured that the turning of the
Christian Sabbath into 'a common holiday for
popular diversion and enjoyment will not
result In the moral depravation of the people,
and the consequent undermining of the very
foundations of government, our Legislature
should be careful how they make the least
concession to those who are seeking to obtain
a relaxation of the "Sunday law" of the State.
The smallest opening of the gate restraining
the flood of popular license mlht be fatal.
It Is not possible to foresee to what fearful
lengths the tlds, once loosed, would flow.
Firmly held in check, it can do no harm. But
grant it one Inch of vent, and it may break
down all barriers, and inundate the whole
land.
It is not, therefore, in any particular Inno
vation on the usual observance of t'ie Sabbath
that daLger lies, or against which the com
munity is concerned to array itself. The sale
of liquors, the publishing of papers, and the
running of city passenger cars on Sunday,
are one and all regarded by the religious com
munity as violations of the Sabbath. , But it is
not against them specifically that objection and
opposition should be made. Those who defend
the sacredness of the Lord's Day ought not
to assail particular violations or violators of
the Sabbath, but determine to maintain the
religious character of the day generally, and
and on the broad principle of universal moral
duty and social policy. 0 his course would be
far more eflectual than that which provokes
the selfish resentment of special classes and
interests; and we therefore commend the
friends of the Sabbath to defend thoir cause on
its own broad intrinsic merits, rather than en
gage in a direct warfare against specific
abuses and particular offenders.
The Capital of the Southern Steamship
Company. (
If the investment of six hundred thousand
dollars in steamers to the South will be profit
able, the investment of a million would be bet
ter. The first sum is the proposed capital of
the company soon to be chartered, and is, we
have no doubt, sufficient to establish one first
class line to the chief ports of the South
But it is not in proportion to the wealth of
the city and her commercial Interests. We
accept the present subscription as an evidence
of a renewed spirit of enterprise. It is a noble
beginning, but it would be folly to consider it
a sati factory conclusion of the great work our
merchants have begun.
One million of dollars, promptly subJcrlbed,
will at once place Philadelphia on an equality
with her commercial rivals. It will enable
the company to build or buy steamers unsur
passed lor speed, strength, and size by any in
the country, and will give it the great advan
tage of a capital sufficient to meet any emer
gency, and use any opportunity. Philadel
phia, in undertaking such a work, should
employ all ber resources ; and one million of
dollars is but a moderate price to pay for the
immeasurable benefits of direct communica
tion with the Southern ports. We are In
formed that the $600,000 are nearly subscribed,
and that the company will soon be ready to
begin active operations. This is not the time
for the committee to abandon their labors.
The success they have met should insp're
greater energy, for if six hundred thousand
dollars can be raised in a few weeks to esta
blish these lines, certainly four hundred
thousand more can be obtained to increase
their power and usefulness. It will be a proud
day when the first steamer leaves Philadel
phia for Wilmington or New Orleans, lor from
it will be dated a new commercial era for the
city.
Governor Worth.
The message of Governor Worth, of North
Carolina, is one of those plain, practical, com
mon sense documents which can be under
stood by everybody, and is not an attempt by
unmeaning verbiage to cover up a want of
idea and a total lack of valuable suggestion.
The Governor plainly states that the time has
come when every State must prove its un
questionable loyalty, and the sooner measures
are taken for this object the better it will be
for all concerned. The brst , policy for the
States lately in insurrection is to make the
best of their bargain, and submit to the
decrees of fate. The rebellious citizens of the
South are hopelessly overthrown, and pru
dence dictates that they should succumb as
gracefully as circumstances will permit. Gov
ernor Worth's advice is most opportune, and
we hope it will be acted upon. No good can
possibly stow out of a conflict with the
national authorities, and perhaps much harm
may accrue to individuals if a contumacious
spiiit is exhibited by those lately in rebellion.
The whole of President Johnson's course
shows a determination on his part to see that
the Federal authority shall be respected, and
in this a loyal people will always sustain him.
Ills closing sentence is one that maybe profit
ably pondered by all who still indulge the
vain hope of a future Southern Confederacy.

How thb Negro Scffbagi Bill
Parsed the House. The New York Timet
of this morning; In an editorial evidently
penned by its editor, Hon. LTenbt J. Ray
mond, the mouthpiece cf the President In the
House, explains the manner in which thq re
cent bill extending the privileges of suffrage to
the colored residents of the District of Colum
bia was passed; and the explanation, If true,
is an evidence of Jfow a minority can compel
a majority to succumb to their views. It
would seem that Judge Kelley, after mov
ing the bill in the House, discovered that the
difference of opinion In the Union ranks on
the propriety of Its adoption would render a
caucus action necessary.
The bill, therefore, went before a party
caucus, In which, by a vote of two to one, (it
was decided to so modify it as to render a
knowledge sufficient to read and write, and a
property qualification, necessary before the
African could be allowed to vote. In order
that such an amendment ba made, it was
essential that It should be recommitted to the
Judiciary Committee. When, however, the
Douse met and the motion to refer was made,
the Radicals so says conservative Raymond
voted with the Democrats, and defeated Its
recommitment. The question was then sub
mitted eitler to oppose the extension in toto,
or else to vote tor the unmodified bill.
The members of the party preferred the
former, and hence the bill passed in its most
radical form. The Raymond faction are evi
dently sore over the result, and design to kill
the bill by securing the veto of the Executive.
The New York Times thus makes a bid in
in that direction when it says :
"It is well enough to bear in mind, moreover,
that President Johnson has never committed
himself in any way to the principle of universal
negro suffrage, cither for the District of Colum
bia or for any State; and that is the principle
which, if this bill passes the Senate, is to be pre
sented for his approval. It is possible, there
fore, to say the least, in our judcrmpnt.'
that President Johnson may withhold his
bignnture from this bill. We distrust the
expressions of confidence of his appro
val in which these gentlemen somewhat
OHtetitatiously indulge. In thse days of diffi
culty and dancer when the peace now dawning
may be dispersed by terriDPsts still more lerrible
than that whose lri'ghtful f urv still sounds in our
ears, we cannot look, upon inditlerence to the
late ol the Union party as consistent with love
lor the Union or devotion to the welfare of our
common country. This is not the time when new
issues can be forced vpon Vie nation, without
imminent danger of reopening those tfie nation
has just decided."
As the sympathy existing between Mr.
Raymond and the President is known to be
perfect, the utterances of the Times, there
fore, have a value which they would not under
other circumstances possess.
