CHRISTMAS.
This long and anxiously expected day is
here. A day when thousands of contracts
terminate and as many begin; and while it
brings -joy and gladness to some, it brings
sorso# ahd disappointment to others. Scores
—countless scores of little folks have waited
impatiently for the annual visitation of Santa
Claus. With buoyant spirit and high expec
tation, tho inquiry lias often been repeated—
“Ma, when shall I hang up tny stocking ?”
Hut in some instances, she who administered
to the comfort ami pleasure of the little ex
pectants has been removed from earthly
scenes. In others, the little group itself has
been liercft of a brother or a sister.
Friends long parted strive to meet at
Christinas; and families broken up and scat
tered ’are reunited around the old hearth
stone. to ! en" the familiar tones of the “old
folks at home” as they recount the prosperi
ty and adversity, joy and sorrow of years
long agonc.
Usually, this is the great annual gala d.uy
of a large |>ortion of the world. At one
place extensive preparations have been made
for entertainment—the guests have been in
rited, and now they are reveling at the ban
quet. At another a crowd is assembling to
celebrate the rites of matrimony. At anoth
er still, a dense crowd is gathered at a dusty
house, filling the air with bitter words and
themselves with sorry liquors. Over there is
a social party, where the fair ones from fif
teeu to thirty years of age, are assembled.
Them arc the black-eycd and the blue-eyed ;
the talkative ami the reticent; the silken
haired and touslc-topped ; the very beautiful
and the less beautiful—all charmers of a sim
ilar crowd of the opposite sex, and all, in
some sort, observing Christmas day. (), che
rished day of precious memories, never shall
we forget thee!
These thoughts lead us to inquire whether
we observe the day as we should ? We an
swer we do not. Christinas commemorates
the bin h of our Saviour, and was truly a day
of great rejoicing. The angel of God herald
ed the event saying— “* Behold I bring 3*oll
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to
all people; for unto you is born this clay in
the Cjjty of David a Saviour which is Christ
the Lord and suddenly lie was joined by a
multitude of the henventy host sajdug, “ Glo
ry to God in the highest, and on earth peace
good will toward men.”—(Luke 2d c.) —
When the aged and saintly Simeon saw the
infant Jesus, he exclaimed. “Nmv Lord, let
test thou th}* servant depart (die) in peace,
according to thy word, for mine C3*es have
seen thy salvation.”
The great Watts but speaks the sentiment
of countless hosts occupying various parts of
the world from the birth of Christ till now,
when be's^'s:
Joy to the world the Lord is come !
Let earth receive her King ;
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the earth—the Saviour reigns !
Let men their songs employ ;
W hilc fields and Hoods, rocks, hills anil plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.
It seems proper, therefore, that on this day
we should pause in the great journey of life,
and attune our hearts to magnify the name
of God for the gift of his Son Jesus, through
whose atoning sacrifice we may be freed from
sin.
If;the birth of our Saviour attracted the
angels .of God from their loved employ to
♦lie scenes of the manger and filled them with
heavenly music, how much more ought we to
rejoice who are directly interested in the re
demption purchased by his blood ? How
much ought our hearts to swell with gratitude
at the mention of Christ outs —the day that
gave birth to the Redeemer; an event that
had been foretold by the holy patriarchs and
prophets froth the ver3’ infancy of the world,
and by them repented at short intervals until
tlc auspicious daj r dawned. They had a
ceaseless; burning desire that the Holy one of
Israel might appear on the earth. They
breathed it in their prayers and voiced it
forth in speech and song. Is not this, then,
a severe 1 reproof to tliose who are wont to
spend the day in hilarous festivity and trifling
worldly amusement ?
This day will probably record excesses,
rapine,|debauchery or murder, in almost eve
ry city, town and hamlet in the civilized
world. Young men will l>e induced to take
a glass of egg-nogg from the lily white hand
of some fair one. Hoys will visit, perhaps,
for the first time, the drinking saloon, and
comiaence a life of recklessness. Let the
|>eoflle who profess the name of God see well
to it that they give no encouragement to the
abuse of this day. Let them set a better ex
ample before their children, their neigbliors,
and before the world.
IdP' I he colored people of North Carolina

Mr. Cook, of Georgia, presented, on Wednes

When Congress again assembles we hope
to lie able to keep our readers posted as to
the proceedings as far as possible—taking
our limited mail facilities in consideration.
the Marietta Journal: When
the Legislature meets in January it should
have the manhood to submit the question of
holding a convention to a vote of the people.
Our present Constitution was made by ne
groes, Radicals, carpet-baggers and Bullock
plunderers, and it is not a true exponent
and does not represent the intelligent wishes
of the people. There is much in it that a
convention would expunge as unwise and
pernicious. Biennial sessions of the Legis
lature, consolidation of small counties, re
ducing the number of Representatives, abol
ishing unnecessary offices, lessening the
amount of homestead exemption, and cur
tailing expenses, are vital questions that
press themselves upon the considerate atten
tion of our law-makers. Let ns have whole
some laws that will impart confidence, and
that will protect creditor and debtor in a fair
and equitable way. This will check extrava
gance, encourage industry, and foster econ
omy, and our people will deal more in cash
and live within their income.
The following first appeared in the Mil.
ledgeville "Recorder , and, we are sorrj* to pay,
j was copied by the Gainesville Eagle, in his
I issue of December 17th. Speaking of the
, harmony of the Democrats in Congress, the
Recorder saj’s:
“All will go on unless Mr.
Dili shall discover some crevice into which
he can drive a wedge of discord. If he should
let such an opportunity slip, he would no
longer be Ben llill. We should as soon ex
pect to see him transformed into an angel of
light as to see him act harmoniously during
the session with a majority of the Democratic
members. We hope the Democrats will not.
give him an opportunity to divide the party.”
It is a well known principle in parliament-
law that while a measure is pending it is
open to opposition 113- all the forms of legiti
mate discussion ; but when it has passed, it
is no longer in order to 333* a3’thing in dis
paragement of it. If Mr. llill’s principles
and opinions were justly made a subject of
vituperation and onslaught during the recent
campaign, it is certainly out of order to con
tinue the opposition since his election. Let
him rest now until he does something that
merits censure. This narrow attempt to in
jure Mr. Hill reminds us of the terrier that
snapped at the wheels of the car as it bore
its burden along the track.
How the Third Term was Voted Down in
the House.
When Mr. Springer, of Illinois, sprung his
anti third term resolution on the Radicals in
the House he took them completely by
surprise. The reading of the resolution was
like the explosion of a bombshell. Thpre
was a panic aad a stampede. Blaine and a
few others succeeded in escaping to the
cloak room, but the majority of the Radicals
were compelled to face the music. The vote
disclosed not only the strength of the third
term movement in Congress, but the charac
ter of its supporters. Out of a whole vote
of 250 there were but 18 in the negative, and
the majority of these were negroes and car
pet-baggers. Six of the colored members—
Haralson, of Alabama; Hyman, of North
Carolina; Lynch, of Mississippi; Nash, of
Louisiana ; Smalls, of South Carolina, and
Walls, of Florida—are willing that Grant
shall be continued for another term. Be
sides these, all of whom come from the South,
four other Southern members voted in the
same direction, viz : I logo and Wallace, of
South Carolina; Wells, of Mississippi, and
W bite, of Kentucky. Of the other eight.
\ ermont furnished one, Mr. Dennison;
Michigan two, Bradley and Hubbell; Maine
one, Plaisted ; New York one, MacDougall;
lowa one, Pratt; Illinois one, Whiting, and
California one. Page. The Democrats pre
sent all voted for the resolution. The
Republicans recorded as absent or not
voting (several of whom were in the hall just
before the roll was called) were Messrs. Bass,
of New \ ork ; Blaine, of Maine ; Cannon, of
Illinois ; Caswell, of Wisconsin : Dobbins, of
New Jersey; Farwell, of Illinois ; Ilathorn,
of New York ; Hays, of Alabama ; Ilendee ;
of Vermont; Ilurlburt of Illinois ; King, of
Minnesota; Mackey, of South Carolina;
Morey, of Louisiana; Platt, of New York ;
Pnrman, of Florida; Rusk, of Wisconsin ;
Strait, of Minnesota; Stowell, of Virginia
and Thornburgh, of Tennessee. This vote
is considered as settling the third term ques
tion for this House at ler st.
The resolution above referred to, was to
the effect “ that, in the opinion of the House,
the precedent established by Washington
and other Presidents of the United States in
retiring from the Presidential office after
their second term, has become, by universal
concurrence, a part of our republican system
of government; and that any departure from
that time-honored custom would he unwise
and unpatriotic, and fraught with evil to our
free institutions.” Adopted— 3*eas, 23 ; nays,

believe in the genuine nature of his conver

something, and, like Wofford, he will be ‘rec

He is no Granger, and we are greatly in hopes
