Georgia and South GaroliDa have
had railroad commissions for sever
al years and there has been! a ''dan
gerous agitation of the question in
North GtodiMuW back as 1880
to our certain knowledge. W get
it from reliable sources that in Geor
gia! the isommisfcion has been of posi
tive benefit to the people, prevent
ing oppressive and unjust charges
nd discriminations - and fair to the
radroads as well as to the public.
In ' South; Caroliira the same thing
has been 1 iaccomplished, altbough
there certain railroad interests have
been louder in their angry com
plaints. . i ,
The Wilmington and Weldon cor
poration at late mt June 24A' of thit
yor with a great flourish of trump
ets ordered a survey of a route from
Wilson to Florence 'and proceeded
to procure "rights of way" all along
the proposed line. ,
: That; it was never intended to
buAd the "shortcut" is nowTvery
apparent, and the question naturally
arises : Why all the noise?
J3t was a genuine case of
in the manger, s .
The New York, Norfolk
Charleston Railroad project has
been for some time assuming, shape
and so soon as the Wilmington and
Wedon people discovered .that the
parties .interested .therein, meant
business, they .set a'out to harrass
bluff them into an abandonment
le enterprise. r ,
le stockholders were called to-
a .

the 'short cut to the board of direo-

IlUn S TClllDg aCaitorresoW tobailda rcl frooi,
VI ilaon to Florence and great pub
licity as late as last June .was given
to their decision.- President Bndg
ers and : his " lieutenant, j ; A J.
Galloway, visited the people all
along the way, a corps of surveyors
were tut on and the" route estab-
listed, rights of way were obtained,
and; financial teircles at r the North
were citen to understand that the
road was a fixed 5facf ' - 'i '
Rut still the New: York,1 . Norfolk
i and; Charleston people persisted in
theit :defrmination to build a road,
evidently seeing through the W & W
game of blufL . a .
Of course when railroads 1 are be
ing iconstructed,' bonds 'axe placed
on tjhe market, and with j the pro-
they are made. This is a
sweep i down every obstacle in' their
way-? to do as they may be pleased,
I not only with the railroads, but with
the public besides.: The experiment

B.si.op Coxe goes furUer aDd wjirns
the e dancing Christians t 'presume
not to coui'i to the ho-y table."
I caunot see ho? these holy and
godly iaeu could take 6uch a position,
snd condemn m such unmistakable
terms that which the Church "permits
and allows." What right has a Cath
olic bishop to prohibit tbat which the
Pope has not : pronounced upoa "as

claiming such high and holy antece-1
dents "permit and allow' things that i
are wroug? . t . . :. .
J3y what procees of reasoning ia an

They make no issuer and meet none.
They dodge the question, whether
artfully or hot, I leave the reader to
determine. They are deeply aggriev
ed that the cocclusion of their artfcle
should be cilled r religious kus'u.
When Satan tempted Christ Le quo
ted Scripture pertinent to his pur
pose," for the accomplishment of bis
object. In Satan's mouth . it was
blasphfrny. So when a dancing club
quotes the languages 1 of an eloquent
divine, to impress the religion
dance upon the world,, even though
the language be as , "beautiful aa the
pure light of Heaven,'"religion gush''
is a mild term to use. :: . . ( v
Finally, the champions of tbe dance,
the members of the: Wah Ree (dan
cing) Club, assume to Le the expon
ent, of the teachings of their, jfrepec
tivo . cburcbes. ; They - bojdjy claim
that theae churcbes "countehace and
allow" that which - their holiest and
best men prcnounced, - "revolting to
every feeliug of delicacy," ."disgrace
ful t the age," j "not consisteut with
the covenant of j baptism, &c., &c" If
what these eminent and holy m-n
teach is true;", dancing is-a tin. It
comes, however, in conflict with the
teachings of the Vah-Ree Club.
Which is the true exponent ,i the
teachings ef these churches,' these
eminent men, or the Club? '
Is dancing a holy or a sitiful amuse-
mtnt? Ia it elevating or debasing in
k tendencies ? In our own cotumu-
mty, wnere the same excesses may
nut.be commuted as elsewhere, I ask
the thoughtful and reflecting peo
ple whether it has tended to make
tne young people better sons and
daagbters better Christians? Is it
among the things "lawful but not ex
pedient, that a christum can do, who
vows before trod, and men and angels
to "renounce tbe devil and 'all his
works, the vain pomp and glory of
the world, with all covetous desires of
the same, and the '.carnal desires of
tbe flesh," so that they will not follow
or i9 led. by them. ? Is tbe dancelef t
out , To some extent, men and wo
men are deeply interested in this con
troversy those who iadulge in and
Jove the dance,, whose consciences

lookicg anxiously to their champions
to put it ia Buch a light,"' that they can
dance fl. , They Applaud and en
courage tueiu. Tne Catholic and

their side. In tbis light' it becomes
a profoundly grave and serious ques
