THE SUNDAY QUESTION. the President of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railway on the Running of Sunday Trains. '+ublishel in Chicago Railway Age. Some weeks since I. felt impelled by various reasons to order the discontinuance upon the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago railway, as far as possible, of all labor on the Sabbath day. This order was not the result •}f an impulse, nor was it issued without the expectation of sharp criticism and even unkind misconstruction; it was made because I considered it right, viewed either from a religious, political or practical standpoint It has provoked more discussion than I anticipated, but the expression of a necessity tor a day of rest on the part of other railway managers has been to me exceedingly gratifyiug. While admitting that this is an age of intense practicability, and that, in the hurry and drive of the people of our country, many are disposed to forget all other considerations than those of gain, this discussion has demonstrated that upon one ground or the other there is deep-seated in the minds of the business men of this country a desire to observe a day of rest. For one. Ido not hesitate to say that I consider the Sabbath a divine institution, and that a disregard of the day is a violation of God’s command, and that the mere factof operating a railway lor public necessity is no excuse for the dishonor done to the precept of our Maker. While I have no desire or intention to force my particular religious views upon any corporation or its employes, in this Christian country, under the laws drawn largely from the inspiration of Christian training and command, I do not think that Christian railway manageis can ignore divine teaching on the subject. Every State in the Union has laws requiring the observance of the Sabbath. Such laws are hoary with age and honored by the experience of the wisest and best of our race. Taken, then, in a religious or municipal light, there can be no discussion of the subject. The laws of God and the laws of man nre conclusive on this point, forbidding labor on the Sabbath*day; and every railway manager operating a road on that day violates human and divine command, and by forcing his emloyes to do the same sets before them a continual example and practice of the disregard of the highest obligations. There is nothing in the business of railways which in the nature of the case makes them an exception to these laws or lifts them above these considerations. They are not a distinct or separate class, blit incur the same liabilities and duties as other corporations und citizens. It cannot be denied that railroads have led in this violation of the Sabbath, The two classes most prominent in it have been railways and saloons. The railways were the {>ioneers, and the saloons only followed close ►ehind, clamoring for the same rights in disregard of the Sabbath. It is not pleasant to thus associate the two, but no observing man can fail to see the truth of the charge. The most general argument urged is that of public demand; this, however, ought not to prove conclusive. Railways only yield to public demands insofar as interest compels them. Trains are run, fares are charged and regulations are made, not so much upon public demand as upon the basis of corporate convenience and gain. A train that does not pay is quickly abandoned. A rate that is unrernunerative is immediately changed; and there is no railway manager who would consent to the operation of the principle that railways are managed solely for public convenience and to meet public clamor. While railway managers try to accommodate the public in so far as is possible, yet at the same time the main consideration is one of dollars and cents.

But if railway managers were satisfied that the running of Sunday trains lose money and good will, thev would be discontinued in an hour in spite of public demand. Thus it all comes back to the question of train or loss; and the question fairly put is, “Ought railways to be operated on that day, in violation of the religious convictions of their employes, and in violation of State laws, for the small profit involved therein?’’ As religious bia9 must more or less affect particular views on this subject, many would be disposed to put aside those considerations and demand some more practical argument on the question. In the discussion of so broad a subject, points can only be stated. First—Then, l suggest that without a day of rest man can neither enjoy health nor freedom. The Sabbath is essential to religion, and religion is essential to freedom, good government and prosperity. History contains no example of a free, progressive and ucces9ful people who did not recognize God, No thoughtful man can controvert the statement that religion is dependent upon the observance of a day of rest. Blot out the Sabbath in this country, and with it the influences of religion for a period of fifty years, and the face of our social, moral and political condition would be entirely changed. The testimony of all railroad men in this discussion has shown that a day of relaxation or rest is essential to the proper and faithful discharge of the duties which devolve upon railway' employes, and if this were not so, human experience fully establishes this principle. Second—Whatever may be the religious views of men, it has been universally conceded that religion makes a man better qualified for the discharge of every duty, and that in every sphere in which he acts the impulse of Christian life is for good. If railways teach their employes to violate the Sabbath, and also with it to violate the Jaws of the State, and thus dull the obligation they feel both to God and the State, they must necessarily have less respect for the laws of the railroad itself, and less sense of duty to their employers. No man who lias any intimate connection with railways can fail to observe the lack of interest on the part of the employes in the corporate welfare, and this is in a large degree attributable to the indifference of the corporate managers themselves to the rights, privileges and consciences of their employes. With the eradication of religion goes all idea of future punishment, and this renders men less controllable and less amenable to reason. Religion is a safeguard for property as well as liberty. One church is worth a dozen policemen; and the social and moral power of religion in the discharge of the duties devolving upon men is simply immeasurable. . Third—The most defenseless property is that of raiiways. Stretched out along the lines, reaching sometimes thousands of miles, it, is simply impossible to defend it from sudden or organized aggression. The riots of 1877 taught some valuable lessons on this point. Railway corporations in time of trouble are simply at the mercy of employes, and the damage done can only be determined by the extent and violence of their passions. If every man in America were made a policeman it would be impossible to defend all the railway property in this country; and, as a consequence, railroad corporations are more dependent upon the protection of the law-abiding, moral and Christian sentiments than any other class of property owners. -A re railroad men, therefore, wise in thus doing what they can to teach and train their employes to violate the Sabbath, and with impunity to break the laws of the State made for their protection? Would it not be wiser to do everything possible to encourage religion and a respect for these laws, and thus encourage the sentiments which go furthest in the protection of the rights of property and life? Fourth—There are said to he in tljo railway service of this country 500,000employes. It k probable that more than one half of the-$c

at some time are required to do Sunday service. The results of thus requiring 250,000 persons to violate the Sabbath, soley to make money for corporations, and this by direct corporate command, are of incalculable injury, not only to these parties, but to society at large. Men within my knowledge are every Sabbath day compelled to do work in direct contravention of their religious scruples. It is safe to assume that one-half of these employes are Christians; and this evil, therefore, becomes the more appalling. W r hen you consider how these men, from fear of losing their places, are compelled to do this labor (much of which is totally unnecessary, and is the result of indifference or cupidity on the part of the managers and stockholders), it becomes a monstrous wrong against the religion and family rights of these employes. And this compulsory violation of their duties as Christians and citizens teaches them to violate all other laws of the State, and prepares them uot only for indifference to the interests of a corporation itself, but for the manifestation of a disregard for all wise precepts ami restrictions. This is probably the worst feature of the whole custom. No man., in the nature of the case, will be true to an employer who, for mere- gain, demands of him a violation of his conscientious scruples, and who forces him, through fear of losing his employment, to submit to service on a day which, by heavenly and human laws, he feels that he is entitled to enjoy a3 a day of rest. Fifth—lt will be universally conceded, I think, that men who have families are more constant, fixed and faithful in any service, as a rule, than those who are not so situated. Men with wives and children have given hostages to society for good behavior, for industry, and for thrift; and the more a laboring man is permitted to see of his family, the more certainly is he to be found subject to those restrictions and obligations which make good citizenship. In the nature of the case the Sabbath is the only day the laboring man can enjoy the society of his family. Deprive him of this social communion, this development of his finer emotions and feelings, and you take from him many of those qualities and inspirations which make men faithful, laborious and true. Nor does this wrong extend only to the man himself, but it reacts upon his family. The separation is a wrong and injury to them; they are cut off from his influence and from his guidance, and the injustice in this phase works out a double evil. And, in conclusion. I have to say that so great a question as this cannot be considered merely on the basis of dollars and cents. To determine its ultimate result it must be sounded deeper than the mere surface. And the question of a few dollars more or less cannot compensate for the religious, moral and social wrong which compulsory work on the Sabbath day inflicts. I see that in one of your late issues you suggest that it is rumored this order of mine will be rescinded. I have only to say that, so far as tried, the results are more than satisfactory; no injury or loss has been sustained; the employes have in many ways expressed their gratitude and thanks for this privilege which has been extended to them in the way of a cessation of work on Sunday, and that so long as I remain in the management of the road no change will be made. 1 am very truly yours.

REVOLT AGAINST HOADLY. The Inlluencee To Be Met la the Democratic CitnvatiN in Ohio. Wuttliiuaton Special to Cineiunati Enquirer. Already it is beginning to be whispered that Hoadly's ambition is restless, and that his goal is far beyond Ohio’s executive chair. Does Judge Hoadly ever get on his cap of reflection and contemplate that Senator Pendleton may feel it to be his duty, in the interest of his own safety, to handicap his election, and thus remove from his path ; one who, if successful in his first political canvass, may yearn for greater gifts which I Ohio has in reserve? This may strike the j incredulous as a random shot, but there is substantial evidence for the statement that Pendleton’s friends, who are now being interviewed daily in this city, and wno announce ! that Hoadly will be elected, have secretly declared he will be defeated. From whom do these men get their inspiration if not ; from the fountain head? Again, it is regarded here as a fallacy that I the decision of the Supreme Court sustaining the constitutionality of the Scott law is going to keep the bulk of the German vote to the Democratic party. Those who thus reason go : upon the assumption that all the Germans are i saloon-keepers. These lose sight of tiie tact I that many of them are not only not keej>ers ! of saloons, but progressive adopted citizens who are glad the question ot license has settled. If the Democrats make tneir canvass under a promise, incase of success, to repeal the Scott law without offering some substitute which will in a measure be restrictive and a | source of revenue to the State, it is thought I here that such a fight would be absolutely ; suicide. This because the Republicans would, in such event, force the issue as be- ! tween law and the saloons. A canvass tli us j conducted could have but one inevitable | end, which a tyro in politics can well guess, i Plenty of wise politicians here are of the opinion that the decision of the court sustaining the constitutionality of the Scott law is worth I.OOU votes to the Republican party, because it calls a halt to the agitation of a license for the liquor traffic and makes it a fact that there is to be a license. Looking in another direction Judge Hoadly can see about and around him a cordon of discontent. It was unfortunate for him that to secure his nomination an old ami tried Democrat like General Durbin Ward had to be humiliated. Had a candidate of less sterling Democracy been his unsuccessful competitor it would be much easier for the old war-horse3 in the party to have reconciled Hoadly’s success with their ideas of Democracy. The so-called “old warhorses’’ are idolators in their views of true Democracy, and it is hard to wean them away from an old to anew idol, and the more so especially when the Democracy of the new idol is challenged, and/by many viewed with absolute suspicion. Thus it is that Judge Hoadly is encompassed with many elements which are dragging him down. He has to overcome treachery on the one hand and suspicion on the other. Looking ahead he finds himself confronted not so much witli a strong opposing candidate as with a strong opposing party. Foraker may not be a tower of strength, but the party, being stronger than the candidate, will do its level best to pull him through. A Very Laudable Aversion. Washington Special.

MULHATTAN' ABROAD. # * The Rescue of Little ‘’Birdie” by a Party of Southern Chivalry. Moreliead City (.N. C.) Letter in Philadelphia Press. A thrilling episode in this village yesterday caused more excitement, consternation and weeping among the people than were ever known here before. The three-year-oid daughter of Mrs. Robert Elliott was brought to the seaside a month ago, to recover from a severe attack of Texas fever. She became a pet and favorite at the Alabama Hotel. Yesterday morning a strolling Italian made his appearance in front of the hotel, with a large cluster of those red, bladder-like toy balloons Major Hawkins, of Alabama, to amuse the child Birdie, who he, at that time, had in his arms, tied the cord around her waist, and then, as is so often done to amuse children, gave her a toss of five or six feet in the air and held out his hands for her return. “Great God! she is gone.’’ cried the Major, as he saw her rapidly going up, up, up. until she had passed the house-tops. Floating in the clouds with outstretched hands, the little angel could be heard distinctly calling, “Mamma! mamma! mamma!” until her voice became drowned by the whistling of the winds. “All to your boats!” shouted old Captain Dixon, and never a son of a man turn hack until that child is brought to its mammy!” “I, I, I,” responded six of as brave and daring boatmen os ever reefed a sail, and all with boats seaworthy for any waters. Minutes appeared as hours, and the babe was flying southeast like a kite, and would be out over the great Atlantic ocean in less than no time. Away went twenty or more well-manned boats amidst the shouts of men and screams of women and children. These boats were joined by a like number from Beaufort, all of which kept as near under the little angel in the clouds as possible. Mr. Charles J. Voorhees, of the Southern Express Company, with a party of gentlemen, were out taking a sail. Mr. Voorhees is one of the most expert riflemen in the country, and, as Providence hail ordained it, he had on board his Smith & Wesson rifle. Heat once took in the situation, remarking: “Six miles out at sea and going at the rate often miles an hour, and now 400 yards high and every minute going higher, higher, higher. I can cut those balloons, and will do it or die. Steady the boat, throw her leeward of the squadron. ’Squire Wade!” “Let us all jine in prayer before he shoots.” said Steve Turner, the colored minister and mail carrier. “I don’t put much confidence in ’ligion when danger is about,” said Mr. Dixon. By this time the boat had gotten in posi tion to give her the most protection from the stiff breeze then blowing. “Now’s your time,” shouted Piver: “don’t you see them two off to themselves.” “Bang!” went the ritlle—but no change in position. Again, again and again—the fifth shot one balloon disappeared amidst the shouts of the boatmen. At the eighth shot it became evident that the balloons could not longer carry the weight of the little floating angel, as she was gradually descending, not in a straight line hut in a southeast direction, toward Barker’s Island—but whether dead or alive none could tell. Down, down, down she comes—as gentle as if handled by human hands—and to fall in a cradle of sand. To land, to land, and all put to shore as fast as the sails would propel the boats. Before they reached land most of them jumped overboard and waded ashore. Then began the race for the babe, and she had comedown on a sand bank only a few hundred yards distant. With fear and.trembling all ran up —Ben. Piver in front. “Gentlemen,” saj-s he, “she’s alive and kicking.” There sat little Birdie, playing with a lot of shells, and as she was picked up she clung on to a handful, saying, “Dese sels for mamma.” With the prize all returned to the boat 9. There sat Mr. Voorhees with a death-like pallor on his countenance, and when told that he had saved the babe unhurt, his tender heart gave way and he wept like a child. “All aboard and back to Morehead!” shouts Captain Dixon. The boats were rapidly gotten under way, and each wanted to lie the first to convey the glad tidings, but they all ran near together, with hats and handkerchiefs flying, amidst the cheers and screams of several hundred |>eople. The excitement of landing surpasses description. At tiie wharf, after everything seemed safe, then little Birdie came the nearest of losing her life. Colonel Whitford, a man of generous impulses, seized the little angel in his arms and at a iightning speed started for its mother, wno was then lying in an unconscious suite, under the skillful care of Drs. Haywood, Arendall and Kelly, of Louisiana. But before the kind-hearted Colonel had gone far. amidst the densecrowd and confusion, he ran off the wharf into water over eight feet deep. Several jumped overboard and aided him in landing his prize. The child was none the worse for the ducking. By 4 o’clock Mrs. Elliott became conscious. The guests of the house assembled in the hall-room at 5 p. m. to return thanks to Mr. Voorhees ami the noble boatmen, and express condolence and syniputliv io. Mrs. Elliott. Major Hawkins came forward and made a few remarks, but was too excited to speak, but he said “had that babe been lost my mind was made up—l would have rested to-night with iier in the sea.” Thus ended a day of the most intense excitement that the oldest inhabitant here ever dreamed or tliought of. Wattersou Abroad. Brooklyn Eagle. Mr. Henry Watterson’s visit to New York consisted of one round of festivities. The well-known editor was seized upo > when lie first arrived by political and social magnates, and bis stay was made agreeable by an absolutely limitless round of small ami receptions. He has become well-known in the streets here, and is pointed out as one of the notables, though he is not quite so conspicuous this year as he has formerly been. Heretofore he has invariably worn a suit of white duck or flannel, and carried a palmleaf fan in one hand and a white cambric handkerchief in the other, as he wandered about the streets. He was a refreshing and amiable sight, and was admired no iess by the men than the women. But on this visit he discarded his white garments and appeared in darker material. He is not quite so conspicuous, but he does not suffer for want of attention. The Deadly Toy Pistol. Philadelphia Prean. The real toy pistol, though a most inoccn-ous-looking weajioii. and making less noise than a repectapie tire cracker, is far more dangerous and deadly thail the other, arid should be summarily and effectually suppressed. It owes its resonance to a little paper cap or wafer containing fulminate of mercury. When the cap explodes portions of it fly off from the hammer and frequently wound the hand of the person discharging the pistol. The mercury compound is of such a poisonous nature that slight wounds produced by the fragments of the wafer refuse to heal, and the usual result is a painful and distressing death from lockjaw. Attorney-General Brighter a DuelUt. Special to Louisville Cmirier-Jouriml. It is understood that Attorney-general Brewster strongi v denounces the practice of dueling, although, it is said, lie possesses a superb pair of dueling pistols, and on at least two occasions was ready and willing to use them. It was understood that on both occasions—once when he was under thirty years of age and once ten years afterwards —he was the sender of a challenge, lu

j neither instance was the challenge accepted, ' and Mr. Brewster has been heard in later years to express his satisfaction that such was the case. On one of the occasions mentioned, ex-Speaker Randall’s father acted as Mr. Brewster’s friend, and the difficulty was adjusted mainly through, his exertions. In the other case tiie man who received the challenge wrote a prompt and ample apology, which drove all hostile thoughts from Mr, Brewster’s mind. SECURING A POSITION. How a Reporter Appropriated a Desk and Went to Work. New York Telegram. He applied to tiie editor-in-chief of a daily, who knew’ him well and was aware of Lis ability and experience. "I’ve nothing to offer you,” he said, "but perhaps vou had better see the managing editor.” To the managing editor, who also knew him well, the applicant went. “Tiiere’s nothing I can give you.” he said pleasantly, “why don’t vou see the editor-in-chief ?” The nextdy lie applied to both again, and the next, each time receiving the same answer. Droppingin on the fourth day, he noticed a vacant desk in the reporter’s room, kept for anyone who might use it. He called theoffice boy, told him to clean up the desk and bring writing materials. Having “moved in,” he sought the city’s editor’s assignment, picked out a job that he thought he could do, did it, laid the result on the city editor s desk and went home. The next day he did the same thing, and the next, and the next. On the fifth day the ediior-in-chief passed through the room while he was at his desk. “So you have got to work?” he said pleasantly. "Yes. sir,” answered the selfappointed reporter. A day or two later the managing editor came in. ‘‘Got at it at last, eh?” he inquired. “Yes, sir,” answered the latest addition to the staff, going on with his work. Tilings went on in this way for two weeks, when one morning the chief came in. “How do you like your position?” he asked. “First rate,” he answered, “there’s only one trouble—l haven’t had any money yet.” . “No money? How’s that? Perhaps the managing editor forgot to put your name on the roll. Never mind; I will. How much did he say you were to have?” “He didn’t say, sir,” said the reporter, telling the truth very literally. The chief fixed the pay then and there, dated it back two weeks, and the “hangeron” became a full-fledged member of the stall’ on the spot. And the best of the joke was, not until t\yo years afterward did either the editor-in-chief or the managing editor know how it came about, each supposing the other had done it. Two heads were certainly better than one that time—for the applicant. Kentucky's Loss of Reputation. Oldham K ra. The reputation of Kentucky is trembling in the balance. Bob Woolley puts Colonel Lewis Kean, one of the Governor’s staff, in jail, and no blood is spilt. In Lexington Mr. Goodloe calls Collector Swope a hypocrite and traitor, and both gentlemen are sound in body. Truly, this is a deplorable state of affairs, and we fear it will be buta short time until a Kentuckian Is no gamer than a bine-bellied Yankee. The thought is not a pleasant one and the reflection most unhappy. If Woolley had been shot and killed, Kean dangerously wounded, Swope knocked down and Goodloe severely knifed, it would have brought the State into more prominence than all the speeches Knott and Morrow could make in a lifetime. A Seaside Attraction. Coney Island Letter. Not very far from the den of snakes is to be another attraction of a most remarkable character. Human flesh densely populated with trichinae is to be displayed under the microscope. an enterprising gentleman having imported a choice collection from Berlin. He declares that several of his specimens are taken from the body of a butcher who. out of mere bravado, ate a piece of pork in which the parasite had been discovered. Tiie Inventions of Colored Men. Louisville Commercial. The Atlanta Journal is mistaken in saying that no colored man has ever obtained a patent for an invention in this country. A olored minister at Princeton, Kv., is the patentee of a dinner bucket for workingmen which has yielded him a large profit, and a colored lawyer of this city has invented an apparatus for registering the attendance at public meetings, which has been patented. Doubtless there are many other colored inventors. General Sherman’s Boom. Speaker Keiter. “Who is to be our next President, Speaker?” asked the reporter. “General Sherman—Old Tecumseh. You can pul that right down.” LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Fourth of July. To the Editor ot the Indianapolis Journals The Fourth of July is ti e day above all others when an American citizen should be manly; when lie should walk erect, put on hi** better nature, and celebrate with gratitude our nation’s natal-day, showing to all the world around that he appreciates the blessings and wears with pride the honors of a citizen of the United States of America. And yet many on that day, above all others, debauch and degrade themselves and dishonor and disgrace the day, r. Princeton. Ind. Mr. Emi Kennedy Arises to Speak.

I am quite willing, sir, to go before the public with my “scheme” oil its own merits, as I know it lias been subjected to the highest criticism before, and anything you or the press of the world may say would not discourage me, nevertheless it may discourage some of the honorable gentlemen who have so kindly associated with me and for that reason, I send you all documents to date, that you may be enabled to blow the blossom from the stem if you can.

| FACTS ABOUT THE CROPS. President. Mitchell, of the State Agricultural Board, Says the Crop Will Be an Average One. Information received by the Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture show* that there has been a great improvement in the wheat cron. The continued warm weather of the last few days has been well suited to the development and the ripening of the grain. The crop has been nearly all harvested, and ie in a remarkably good condition, although short of the yield of last year. Robert Mitchell, of PrincotOii, t.ne president of the State Board of Agriculture, was in the city yesterday, and stated that in southern Indiana the harvesting was about over, and threshing will begin next week. Ho estimates the yield in that section ac about two-thirds of the crop of 1862. Tne reports from other parts of the State, since harvesting began, have been very favorable. Tile condition of tbe growing corn is excellent, and. Judging from the present, prospects, the Secretary stares that the .yield of potaiooa will ue larger than ever before. PERSONAL.

TRUE Temperance Is not signing a pledge or taking a solemn oath that cannot be kept, because of the non-removal of the cause —liquor. The way to make a man temperate is to kill the desire for those dreadful artificial stimulants that carry so many bright intellects to premature graves, and desolation, strife and unhappiness into so many families. It is a fact! Brown’s Iro;i Bitters, a true non-alcohol-ic tonic, made in Baltimore, Riu.,by the Brown Chemical Company, who are old druggists and in every particular reliable, will, by removing the craving appetite of the drunkard, and by curing tbe nervousness, weakness, and general ill health resulting from intemperance, do more to promote temperance, in the strictest sense then any other means now known. It is a well authenticated fact that many medicines, especially ‘ bitters,’ are nothing butcheap whiskey vilely concocted for use in local option countries. Such is not the case with Brown's Iron Bitters. It is a medicine, a cure for weakness and decay in the nervous, muscular, and digestive organs of the body, producing good, rich blood, health and strength. Try one bottle. Price 00.
