PROCLAMATION BY THE PBERIDEHT.-
President Johnson has issued a proclamation
declaring that the rebellion which heretofore
-existed in the States of Georgia, South Car
olina, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Mis
sissippi and Florida is at an end, and.is hence
forth to be so regarded.
_ What effect this proclamation will have
(says the Lancaster Examiner,) in shaping
the course of the President in regard to the
admission of these . Statea into the Union re
mains to be seen, but it appears to be' very
evident that it is a part of the programme in
his policy, by which he hopes lo force men
into the National councils who but a abort
time ago were open and avowed enemies of
the Government. There is little hope, how
ever, of his being ablo to accomplish this;
for between these reconstructed iebcls and
their prospective participation in the legisla
tion of
. the country, stands the Union ma
jority in Congress, solid and permanent as a',
rock of granite. In this majority is the hop ,
of the people, and we verily believe the sal-
'cation of the' country.

The attempt in our State Legislature to
pose a law allowing, (or rather to repeal the
old law' forbidding) the street ears to run in
our city on Sunday, has, much to tha satis
faction of all right-feeling and right-think
ina° citizens , been defeated. The, opponents
ofa ehristian Sabbath have contended fierce.
ly for this step towards its overthrow I white
its friends have contended with equal persis
tency, and with the coaseionsness of having
right on their side, for the sanctity of the
day. Meetings were held by both parties
during the winter, and the feeling ran high.
The result is, a very decided expression of
legislative sentiment opposed to allowing the
cars to run. Thus the friends of morality,
religion, aid social order, have triumphed
over those who would have established in
our midst what might be termed a French
Sunday.
The markets are still high, What would

Some one has said that "Spring, of alt oth

interesting." It may be so—it may not be
so. One thing we think, however,
is true,
and that is that it is the season when 'new i

Philadelphia 'has already had its "opening
days," and all sorts of grotesque absurdities
have been revealed to the gaze of the flash
ing orbs of our Philadelphia belles. It is
no longer a matter of conjecture or specula
tion what styles of hats, bonnets, silks, dress
goods, and all that are necessary to make
that wondrous creation, the gratsde dame of
the spring of 1866. The first eesideratunt
of a lady is "a love of a bonnet," There are
several styles-:-the Gipsy, the Japanese, the
Marie Stuart, the Bi-13i, Ste. But hold, we
must not attempt a description ! Suffice it to
say, that this year is not a special one for
simplicity, and good taste does not appear to
have presided over the composition of all
head-gear, the designs of all dress-paternh
and the grace of the trimmings, There is a
fearful aiming at magnificence ! - Verily, the
race of shoddy has not yet passed away.—
There, lady readers of the Record, that is
the opinion about the new styles of your

SOUND ADVICE —The Philadelphia Ledger
under the head of "Early Indulgence of the
Appetites," gives this sound advice: Pa
rents should ponder well on the danger of an
early and capricious indulgence of the np
petites and imaginary wants.of their children.
Repetition soon becomes a habit, and a habit
once formed, even in childhood, will often
remain during the whole of after life ac
quiring strength every year, until, at list,
it sets all laws, human and divine, at defi•
once. Let parents, who yield to• the cries
of their children for dainty and promiscuous
food,or who allow them .to' torment domestic
animals, or to strike their nurses, or to raise
the hand against any person, consider well
on the consequences. The moral effects of
pampering the appetites of children ar e
most melancholy. Is the mother afraid of
an explosion of passion, a bribe is too often
promised in tLe shape of a.cake or tart as a
peace offering. Dces it annoy a whole com
pany by its boisterous or illtitned pranks, it
is persuaded to be quiet by the promise of
some sweetmeats. If it has been good, as
the phrase is, and learned its letters, the re
ward is still too frequently something for the
stomach. Eating is soon regarded as the
chief end and object of life by a child, who
sees in it the chief incentive to good beha
vior. A premium would truly seem •to be
given for gluttony. The use of the other
nobler senses, and of the faculties Of the
mind, the early cultivation of the kindlier
and better feelings of our nature—generosity
disinterestedness pity, filial love—all ar e
overcome or postponed in favor of the ono
sensual, svlfiah yud absorbing act of gorman
dising.

a swindle.

also open a school for boys and girls on the
23d instant. Mr B. is also an experienced
teacher, having taught school for several
years in our town. Both should be liberal.

TwittvES Anoux.—On Friday night last
the office of Messrs. Adams & Hawker, Car
riage-makers, was broken open and their
desk carried to an adjoining lot, where it was
opened. The firm had sold several buggies
the day previous, and the thief or thieves
must have been under the impression that
the desk contained a considerable sum of
money. Luckily however it. contained no
thing but papers. •
MOVING Day . —There was an unusual
stir on our streets during Monday last. For
a time nearly half the population seemed to
be flitting to and fro with their "goods and
chattles," including numbers from the noun
tty with teams, live stock, etc. The scene
was like unto the days of the Rebellion
when skedaddling was so touch in vogue.—
But notwithstanding all the bustle and con
fusion no accidents occurred, and we - believe
but one "pugilistic encounter," I.he result,
no doubt, of an over-charge of "tangle.foot."
Jimmy, from I'ikesville, and the man with
the "white hat," were both about.
PRlCES.—Everything has a downward ten
deocy now, .except printing paimr, which
rates we believe at higher figures than at any
time during the last four years. If this
state of things continues we will be compell
ed to go through our subscription book and
strike off the name of every ono who has not

Wei regret very much that it came to hand
too late for a, place in our columns this week.
Citizens are again warned of the danger of
delaying the work of canvassing for the sale
of stcck, and entreated to not let this golden
opportunity pass unimproved. Unless they
awake from their sleep of apathy, and go to
work with a will and determination to suc
ceed, the great benefits which the road would
confer will be lost to our town and our neigh
borhood. It is amazing that so little inter
est should be manifested among the people
of our section in behalf, of an enterprise of
such magnitude and importance. The Com
mittee should at once renew the work of can
vassing.

gives us a remedy for intemperance." Who
but a temperance man and one desirous of
putting down intemperance, would give us a
"remedy" for this purpose? Is not the gen

Would he have insinuated this in his reply
had he given my article . proper_ considers.
tioo? That "all the weight" of my commu
nication was thrown against the • temperance
cause is an unjust and illegitimate charge.—
And the gentleman makes this charge simply
because I, don't agree with his way of think
ing and propose something which ' think
better, of which he says, "nor does it require
a Solomon to see a truth so self-eviciont."—
We have the right of thinking as we chose
and are not compelled to adopt the views of
others just because they have propounded
them.
At the time of my writing there was an ef
fort being made-fo organize some of the Bab
bath:Moots into temperance societies. To
them I referred when I said there was "a
disposition to make the societies sectarian."
Will the gentleman fay there was
,nothing
sectarian in that efforif aware the Good
Templars recogni - ano denomination. Here
after let the gentleman-die posted on his sub
ject beftire be charges me and persons of like
stamp" of "ransacking heaven and earth to
find an objection to justify them in the un
holy work of throwing their influence against
the temperance cause." The gentlemanlseems
; to think, his views and the temperance cause
are one and the same thing, I still say "se
cresy is not a consistent companion" of this
effort. I don't believe in following the ex
ample of linters, in going, behind the cur
tain to do this work. The gebtleman says:
"As a temperance society, we haire no secret.",
What are you when. you do not act "as a fem.
perance society?" In the second sentence
followina be says, "We have private matters
pertaining to the modus operandi, i&o."—
Ths modus operandi of what? The temper
ance society of course. Then do not the "pri
'vale matters" pertain to the temperance so
ciety? What "private matters." every read
er knows, "Private matters," "as churches
and families have private matters." Offam
ily secrets I have heard, of church secrets I
have not. That families, churches and tem
perance societies are on the •same footing is
not so easily seen. The two latter are organ
izations for the benefit 'of society, the former
is not. That the church has any strictly
"private matters" is incorrect. This objec
tion has not had "its generation and birth
in wine and cider, as the gentleman would
have you believe. Ido not indulge.
That "little children should not be asked
to'sign the pledge, I repeat,, notwithstanding
the gentleman says, "Such a precept never
before came from the lips of a civilized man,
and we cannot Sod language adequate to ex
press our abhorrence of the unchristian and
aeti-scriptural sentiment." In the face of
this storm of words I still say, "Let the chil
dren go." Is the signing of a pledge the
way to teach them temperance? If this is
all that is necessary, why not teach every
thing on the same plan? How Young A
merices blood would bound were such a plan
adopted! The idea of a child so young that
the pen has to be held in its hand and guided
signing the pledge. Yes, it has gone as far
as that. What do you think of the proprie
ty or absurdity of it? As soon as a child is
old enough to know what it is doing and un
derstands the obligations it takes upon itself,
then, no one can say anything against its to
king the pledge. Why tlon't you make
church. members Of your babies? No, you
“let the children go" until they have reached
an age..wheu they can act for themselves.—
"The author of that remarkable - precept"
does Lot ask the gentleman to screen him
from any "merited eharae." Let right.pre
vail To my charge of the inefficiency of a
society founded on a pledge, the gentleman
says,.“The Church of Christ is founded on a
ptd:/e." Admit the gentleman's position,
which lie has not proven, and what does it
benefit him. Does he place the Church and
the Goad Tempters on the same footing?—
This would certainly be a very exalted view
of' the Church. There is . certainly a great
differeree between the two orgahizations.—
No one will pretend to say the p/eifoc of the
Church, if there is such a thing, is•of the
same kind as that of the. Good Templars.—
The one institution is of •divine origin. Is
the other? The one is under the protection
and control of the Amighty. Is the other?
The one is everywhere recognized in the Bi
ble. Is the other? What may be said of
the Good Templara may be said of all; intila:
institutions.
. Ido not question the honor of any Good
Templar, but I do not •think there is more
honor in the organization than in the Church.
No one will deny that there'are hypocrites ha
it. The geritletuan has taken upev3ry point
he could criticise, but one he !eft undisturb
ed. 1 asserted that t is hunted power or
influence of the society, "gees a to be an in
fluence Os the noirelty wea a off" This
charge was passed in silence , either because
it was irrvjuictide or A° iw.iyoifi'cont.. What
do we learn firm the past? Is it not that
such societies die out, like everything else
origivated
.by
_man? Need we_ go farther
than our own village to prove this? A tem
porary good is certainly bettor than none,
but - why not have something' lasting, when
it can be had for the same effort?
The gentleman seems to object to the po
sition I give to my "remedy:" Is there any
thing rhetorically incorrect in tky arrange
'mend- llirst gave my '‘reasona forlyriting,
;neat myulijections tied li nally the "remedy."

•my mind, I adtecate the: putaug "a stop to

ly.in our village, but everywhere. ..Blit..the
gentleman says, "I can't endorse the heart-
Vs politly-of-R,E;r_ 04 - e
-and others of the
same whining school." Neither would rum
Miele or liquor-dealers endorse such a "poi ,
icy,":whieh to diem-iv:mid truly be a "heart
less". one.
.1 am neither a Soloimon nor u Solon,, nor
do I claim to be the originator of my "heart
less policy." If there is• a ;"policy" which
had its origin in heaven and has the satiation
of the Almighty, this "heartless" obi) be it:
God teaches us to. shun evira / appearance of
evil. The selling of liquor as a beverage has
not only the appearance of evil, 'but is really
a sin. The gentleman admits that the sail
ing of liquors in this way is one of the great
entities of intemperance to-day. Then-why
will be not do something to.get rid of this
cause?. Is he afraid he will becothe unpOpti
lar7 afraid he might hurt some soul-broker's
feelings?
The gentleman says, "Temperance socie
ties advocate the remedy R. E. 0. proposes,
and they pursue the only course to bring it
to pass vise—to excite the public mind upon
the subject, &c." I am glad to bear that
some one else is advoca t ing my "remedy," -e
-ven if tis a temperance society. But that
they are pursuing "the only course to bring
it to pass" is not very plain. Temperance
societies b r ave been pursuing-th i a "only
course" for more than fifty years, and every
one must know from the past that this is not
he to secure any permanent good to the
community. Let us lay aside the "only
course," and see if we cannot . improve on it
in this boasted age of progress. We do not
want the "public mind" excited on this sub
ject. • Alen when- excited do things they
would not do in a calm moment. We want
people to know what they 'are doing in this
matter and do not Want any hackieg out when
it comes to the test. Let men and women go
to work-calmly and deliberately to put down
this great evil.
I have never said "do nothing," nor have
I:advocated the waiting for a "prohibitory
law." The gentleman nor no one else can
torture any such meaning out of anything I
have said. We do,not want a "prohibitory
law," and if we did, we would not have "pub
lic sentiment trained and schooled" in a tem
perance, society pursuino. the "only course."'
They have tried their and and are• found
wanting. They are about as near their de
sired object now as when they first started.
Judging from the past, the gentleman would
have to wait "a hundred years" and more
"for a prohibitory law," were it to bo gotten
through the influence of these 'societies.—
The gentleman would like to throw all the re
sponsibility, in this matter, upon• the shoul
ders of the Legislature. It would be wall e
nough for him to school and train' some of
the members of this august body, before he
Nike about them making a "prohibitory law."
The gentleman talks as if there never was
any legislation on this subject. The Legis
lature has done its share if the people would
only do theirs. They 'have provided a way
to prevent licenses from being taken out
They have forbidden sales Without a license
And with or without a license, they have
forbidden the sale of liquors on the Sabbath
and to minors. What, more do you want?—
Take down these musty and seemingly for
gotten laws, and see that they are executed.
Besides these wo have a Church discipline
but some of it seems to have been "buried
in the earth." If the Church would do her
duty, there Would be a few less tiplers or a
few less church members. They ought to do
everything temperance societies propose. : —
Men may talk of making use of all the "al
lies" of the Church, This is all right so
long as,thcy stick to God's plan and do not
try to make an improvement on it. if we
labor for our Lord, let none throw off the
apparel of the Church and don that of anoth
er' institution because it- is more poprear.--
If a man is a soldier of the cross, lot him be
one all the time. If he wants to serve his
master, let him do it as his master has direct
ed him, and not as he in his wise judgment
sees fit. Let us show a willingness to use
the "talents" we have, before we ask for
more. Let us no longer be satisfied to stand
on the banks of this torrent of iniquity and
catch these who may drift within our reach.
Let us rather stem the tide of public senti
ment and destroy this evil "root-and branch."
Wo may get rid of the branches, but if the
root remain, it will send up new shoots. Let
all whether as Church -members or as moral
and humane citizens enter upon an active
campaign, determined that, with . God's bles
sing,-they will do something that-will belch i
in the community; determined to put what
law we have into execution. To do this, we
must have other than "lager beer men"
to fill our offices. The gentleman tries to
ridicule my "auxiliary'— calls it "a fifth
wheel 'to the wagon." I wonder ifmy "wag
on"-with five wheels is not as good as his
