The Sunday Question.
Ws Bald, in a previous article, that, la de
fending the Ciirls ian Sabbath, wo did not la
rrnd to attack par leu'fir abuses of it, whetbor
now pract nod or only proposed. It is already
profaned sufficiently, even in 'this ble33cd
land, which God has so conspicuously distin
guwbed by Ilia favor and mercy, to causo
every good and truly loyal cltlzoa to depre
cate, roost earnestly, anj Increased desecra
tion of the Sabbath. Any movement, especi
ally any popular or political movement, in re
spect to this subject, should, in order to b3
regarded as one of sound moral and social re
form, tend lu a direction quite opposite to
that advocated by those who would totally
change the character of the day which was hal
lowed and net apart for man's bono fit and
God's honor by express commandmcnl. And
it is most fo tunate for our peoph that their
whole civil system w .s ongiually so decidedly
and radically founded in sound religious prin
ciples, that the;r legislatures, however
humanly sovereign, are yet so limited 'a thsir
power, that any statute enacted by them in
plain violation of Divine law is essentially
unconstitutional, and of no binding force or
validity whatever It is true tb it the legisla
ture of a State may pass an act irrelig ous in
tendency, and ytjt not so positively contrary
to the letter or obvious meaning of God's law
as to bo judicially declared, for that reasjn
alone, absolutely null and void. And it is pre
cisely this sort of legislation that should bj
vigilantly guarded against, since it . is tho
mcrns by wta'ch wicked men, on virtuous pre
tenses, sepk to lasidiously undermine the very
foundations of public morality and social
order. They are afraid to attack the cltadol
of a cation's peace, happiness, and true glory,
by bold and open assault on the institutions
and ordinances of God, because they know
they would ba overwhelmed and utterly
routed in any such attempt. They therefore
begin by 6low and hidden approaches, de
signed to deceive ths garrison; and tbey are
not unfrequently so hard pushed and base, aa
to use a false flag in order to take the fortress
which thpy are net bravo or powerful enough
to carry by man strenslh.
We are told that Sunday travel else
where is allowed, and has not been
injurious. The latter part of the asseition,
however, is not proved, nor Is it possible
always to witness, at once, iu visible demon
strations, to what real, and ptobably creat
extent, a particu ar invasion of the law of
God and the religious hab ts and convict'ons
of society, has actually, though secretly, been
productive ol serious ev:l. there are soaie
po-called social reforms, claiming the sanction
of benevolence and patriotism and piety,
which take a long timo to betray their hurt
ful influence, though they act in the mean
while like "rank corruption," which, "min'.ng
all within, infects unseen."
Per example, those who advocate the run
ning of the city passenger railway cars on
Sunday, actually urge the measure on reli
giOus grounds. They contend that all per
sons should have free conveyance to church,
and that cheop vehicular travel on the Sab
bath would, in every way, promote the spirit
ual as well as physical health of the misses.
But unless this result could be absolutely
guaranteed, which it cannot be, neither the
people nor their representatives should try the
experiment. In affairs of such vital social
moment, the mer conceit or speculation of
bad or visionary men should not be trusted.
No Christian community can safely take it for
granted that any encroachment on the esta
blished sanctity of the Sabbath, tor secular
use and sensual pleasure, will no! be posi
tively pernicious in Its oparation and
cflect.
It is also complained that the law
which allows the use of private
equipages on the Sabbath, denies a
public conveyance to the great multitude
who cannot afford a like luxury; that the
lawB of the State shoulJ be equal, and all per
eonfl equal belore them, and that what is tole
rated in the country should ba tolerated in
the town. . But these complaints are more
specious than just. The argument amounts
substantially to this, that because we have not
perfect laws, we should have none at all;
because man's laws are not entirely what they
ought to be, Goi's laws should be altogether
set aside; because one part of the community
is permitted ; to do some things on - the
Sabbath that is not strictly right, the
whole population, everywhere, must be
allowed to do everything that is wrong. Such
logic as this, it carried out to its legitimate
consequences, would utterly subvert civil
society and create a hell on earth. It is sim
ply amazing that men who lay claim to ordi
nary virtue and intelligence can arzue that,
because human legislation does not fully meet
ft case, it should, therelore, noi try to meet
It at alL - But, as has been well said, equal
neglect is not impartial kindness. The. species
of benevolence which arises from contempt of
all Justice and propriety is no true charity.
Better suffer that which partly protects and
promotes the physical and spiritual well-being
of mankind, than gve society entirely up to
the dominion oi Satan.
The enemies of the Sabbath are fruitful in

innr nious arguments intended to ' advance
their cause. But it Is to be hoped that
sophistry will not win In such a contest
There is 'too much that is vital to Jhe peace,1
gocd order, and (stability of society, as well
as to the eternal welfare of every individual
sou, to have it . all staked on the selfish
motives or the-moral or mental hallucinations
t f a miserable hand ful of pretentious and em
pirical social reformers. The people should
not beed their seductive but fatal expostula
tions They are blind leaders; and Christ
st Id that if the blind load the blind, both will
fall into ttiJ ditch. 1 he Sabbath, we are told,
is good for man. as man ; for man soclatiy
as well as relipiously considered; good by
ibe law of Providence, for the in
ferior and dependent worjd, for ser
vant as well as master, and for
beas's as well as servant. We , disturb
the economy of things; we Injue a dumb and
helpless creature if we delraud even the beast
that perishes of his humble share in this msr
ciiul remission ol the curse. Let us, tliea,
trust that tho sanctity of the Lord's day will
increase, rather than diminish, among us; and
that those whose patriotism even Is invoked
against It at this lime, will see that all institu
tions of purely human device had better fail
than that the Sabbath should perish ia our
midst.
A Fact for IJunuesi Men.
If there are any business men who doubt the
success of the Southern steamship line, soon
to be established, a very brief consideration
of the commercial situation should cjnviise
them of tho improbability oi failure. The fol
lowing fact may illustrate the argument. One
of our leading merchants, recently in New
York, made some inquiry into the trade of
that city with tho S mthern ports. Oao of the
astonishing things he discovered was a dray
man. There was nothing remarkable about
the drayman, except bis occupation. A
steamer was about t leave tor Mobile, and
the draymaa had been paid twenty-lour dol
lars by a mercantile hoase to place a box on
board. For eighteen hours this dravman
waited on the wharf with his box, working
his way to the vessel, inch by inch, foot by
loot, till finally the goods were shipped. By
this one fact we may Judge of tho imnenso
business New York is doing with the South,
of the necessity of Southern liaes to Philachl
phia, and of the sound, unprecedented reasons
lor expecting their immediate success.
We regret to chronicle the departure of
a veteran in literature and wealbit, who has
for ovc- half a century been lamlliarly known
to all of our leading business men. Geobss
Oiid, Esq., died on Wednesday, in the eighty
sixth year of his age. For two generations he
has been well known to the public, aad
although living in strict retirement, and
having seen his contemporaries all pasi away,
yet his position in ihe social world has never
been filled by any aspirant of the new times
which he lived to see. It is seldom that an
old man is remembered and familiarly spoken
of by the friends of his grandchildren; yet the
remarkable social and intellootual qualities
possessed by our venerable .fellow-townsman,
secured and maintained for him a popular
ity among those who mi"ht have bean
expected to neglect him. lie was widely and
favorably known as an ornithologist aud
lover of natural science. lie was the friend
and biographer of Wilsox, and on the most
intimate terms with all those whom we are ac
customed to look up to as almost classical
writets because of their antiquity. As a
linguist,- Mr. Ord bad few equals and no
superiors, while as a writer of scientific maga
zine articles he had a high reputation. lie
was for many years President of the Academy
of Natural Sciences, and was an honorary
member of almost every scientific society in
the land. Bis death leaves a void in the
province peculiarly his own, which it will bo
difficult to fill. . . , .' v

The CAriTAL invested in Ma.nufa.c-
tuues. The report of the Secretary of the'
Interior, in reply to a resolution relative to the
amount of capital invested in manufactures,
states that they '-begin with New York
and end with Newark." Why they should
begin with New York, when Philadelphia em
ploys seventy-three millions, and she but
sixty-one; while the Quaker City produces
goods to the value of one hundred and
thirty-four millions '; ' per annum, t hef
one hundred and nineteen, is not stated:
The report shows that the principal cities are
interested in protection to home industry in
the order we mention them: Philadelphia,
New York, Cicinnatl, Bojton, Brooklyn,
and Newark. To those who believe in disin
tereste 1 political action, it would seem strange
that, with the exception of the metropolis,
each city is enthusiastic in tho cause of pro
tection in about the ratio of the amount of
capital Invested. The document Itself forms
a most powerful argument in favor of the
anti-free trade principle; for in a nation in
which the money placed In manufactures in
twelve of the leading towns amounts to nearly
four hundred millions ot dollars, and in which
the four most deeply interested cities produce
to the equivalent of three hundred and fifty
millions per year, it is certainly want of policy
and common sense to endeavor to throw
down the wall that protects this mighty
variety of our national interests, in order to
cater to the Utopian schemes of a set of en
thusiasts and interested shipping merchants.
Robert P. Kino promises to bo a valuable
member of our City Councils, if an expo3ure of
the way in which the citizens are ojouslonally
mulcted in the awards for ths appropriation of
private property to publio purposes U any proof
of merit. The property referred to by Mr. Kins'
resolution is located at Lauding avenue, aad is
intended as an enlargement of Falrmount Park
Ibe tract is assessed at $50,009, and the Jury
have awarded damages to the amount of
$480,000, which is a wide margin, to say the
least of it. It would perhaps be rlcht enough
o extend Fairmonnt Park, thereby adding to
tho attractivrnyss of our suburban resorts, but
U must be 1orno in mind that our municipal
finances are not la as good condition as most ol i
us could wish, autf unnecessary expenditure of
public n onev should be avoided where tb.9 in-.
nsts of the people are not deeply concerned.
Our rates of taxation are at prcs-nt sulfleieatly i
onerous without adding to tbo burden.
There is no doubt of the fact that Iremendo is
obs are frequently engineered through Our
Con cite, tla', it properly inspected, would be
lound to bo without merit. Our exchequer is
not bo affluent but Hint It may bo exhausted by
conlinu.il demands A little caution on tho part
of our City legislature would save pTat waste
of money, and at present we need to husband all
our resources, lor from present appearances we
w ll Deed all the cash that is available to meet
our linbilit es.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
Hie Freedom ol Conductors and Drivers

TotbeEditob of Tub Evening Tklbobaph
felr: We may he told, that the sovoutoon hour-a-di
y labortrs are williiw tnus to wjrk: yoa, they ro
wtllinc to do tho lamo on Sunday) Now, a double
Dioauiiifr Iu words Is a rrcat occasion for docepUon
and fallacy. There is a sen so in whiob tul ig true.
Tho proerb, "root, pii, or die " loaves crumphy a
choice ot evils work or death: and his nljnliip
cl.org' s to root as the losat ot two en's ho is a
voluntary rooter. Now I affirm, that this is tho only
pci fp in wl icli a In-p-lioru An orican ig, or can he
unit e, wilnnfr to work seventosn hours por aay, fur.
soveu dayg iu tho week. No man, tliat has a soul in
him, can bnug that, soul up to the humiliation of
such voluntary bondage, a diro ncoos-ify must first
te laid upon him. Tho men who have him in their
trap, in rrcat condescension and lovo, ar to him:
Mike, we aro pom to ran o:ir ears on Sunday, aad
our men and horses must buck o to and drive ahead.
How do you like it, ilikf?" "Well, sir, I thin
seventeen hours a day for six days of tho woe' is
about tight cnouh on a poor icllow. Ye see,
sir, l'vo no tia.o to sit and nurse l'u3sy on
my knee aud amuse myself looking at Jo in my
and Sue plaving with tho little dojf about
the hearth, bir, I think I'd liko to have Sun
day ccar. It's the on'y time I enjoy the homo of
toy wifo and children " 'Thai's true, Mike; but we'll
of cour-e iuo ease your waves a iitilo. ' Weil, sir, the
Lord knows wo poor drivers and conductors have
liaid work to cct along- on our present wa.-o j every
thing is so dear." "Vory truo Kike, but than you
know 'halt a loat is bottorthai no bread.' " "That's
true, too, Hi, ilailroad Proaidontl but thou, a whole
loaf and a little beef and po'a'oo is better still"
"V ell, turn in, Mile, and work neventecn hours on
Sunday, aud the inoroaso of your watroa will bur tbo
polaloPB, at any rate." "Ah, but Mr. Fiesldent then
I'll have to leave poor little Fussy, and Jemmy, aud
Suo, and tbeir dear mother all day j and I'll booomo
a st ranger In roy own houso ; my little darlings will
soon tot know their daddy, fioaso excuse mo tnon
from the Sunday." " VVoll, Mike, you've been a fait i
lul driver, and I thought I would make you a fair
ofli-r, full employment, and living wages. Now
I want you fairly to understand your position.
You tee tho cars must run of a Sunday, and
we must have drivers ;t'a absolutely necessary,
and you know nece-Bity has no law. bo, Mike,
if you won't another wll:, aud we Will have to
part. If you won't work for us on Sunday,
your shan't work tor ns on week days. So
pond-by, Miko." "Oh! Mr. ITosidcnt, atop a little.
Ihere Is another difficulty in my way that maybe
you Villi think about It. Alary and I were brought
up in praying, and Sabbath keeping, aud church
going families. We both think it ia wrong to work
on Sunday. My father and grandfather, as far
back as I can art any knowledge of them, wore Sab
bath keepers, and always he d the Ten Command-
menisto be a summary of the moral law, and binding
upon the consciences of all men I and my doar
wile may be mistaken, but so it is, we coutcitntioanly
believe it is rong.
'We munt not work . we must not play,
Because it is the Sabbath day.'
This we toach.cur children, and we still think it is
right. Now, Mr. Tresldent, must we be cut off from
our employment aud our bread, and tnrnqdofftne
cars all the week, Just because we want to worship
the God of our fathers according to the diotates of
our own consclonoes, as the Constitution ol tue btate,
and the la of the land, and of God say ws ought?
Does It not seem hardt I am willing to drive till
twelve o'o ock on Saturday night, and t) start at four
on Monday morning) but, sir, if I must pollute
my conscience by disobeying Goa's law, the law of
my native Pennsylvaniaaod ihe law or my ohuroh;
or )pve your company' employment, why, then
my choice is, to keep a good consoiouce and trut to
Ood lor bread."
"Well, Mike, it is hard. I do pity you. But, you
know, corporations have no sou's, and 1 can't help
it. I am but an agent for othors, and must submit
to my masters. So, good-by, poor Mike." "Just a
minute more, Mr. Bailroad President, if you ploass.
If corporations have no souls, can they go to
Heaven, or to the other place f And If a Just God series
upon tho corporation, and administers Justtoe ac
cording to truth for this griovou sin of persecuting
all conscientious Sabbath- kocpn out from their
employment, how will the individuals who compose
the corporation fare at tho suine righteous bar? Can
the whole le put vndr a'-rest. and yet all the parts
ol that whole eecapeT Out sir, bear In iniud that
individual responsibility can neer be nereil in
social responsibility. If your corporation pushes off
all men who love God and His holy day, and thus
persecute ns in violation of law, oan the Individuals
who compose it wash tholr bands of It, and say,
lam clean this sin is none of mine? Why, air,
God'a laws protects your horses, and if you run
them seven days In the week, you will kill them as
you are killing us. Farewe l. God bless the Sab-bath-breakers
with a bettor mind." THEorHii.ns.
