Washington, December 24.— l'l«e
few C<»nirres«iim«i find b'T politicians
who remain here have been discuss
ing t,„ (|;iv two tumors which point
hi directly opposii <• direet ions. The
first rumoi asserts that Mr. Evans
and Mr. C uiklinir are gel tint' recon
ciled ; that the Se re ary of Slate and
the Senator from New Y>>' k mean
liereatt. r i<> act in aecnril, and lliai
they have agreed that the Secretary
of tiie Inter.<>r and the Postmaster-
General shall e offered up as sacr.-
fices on the alt «r <•» peace The sec
ond rumor a-sens that Mr. Evans
will soon resige his place in the Cabi
net, because lie tin Is it inconvenient
to sacr five nis law pmciioo tuul not
practicable io coinbiue it with the
duties of the State Department.
Both rumors are probably tab*?, Jhm
both attract a good deal of attention
hero to-day
Ge.i. Butler’s speech before the
Middlesex Club, in Boston, has also
been a topic ot conversation among
anti-Haves Republicans, to whom ii
is vorv acceptable. An eminent per
son of this faction who was here a
few days ago, being asked his opinion
of the political future, gave the fol
lowing forecast, which d.vrs from
General Butler’s address only in thai
it more definitely lays 4iut a pro
gramme; 41 The S Iver bill will pa-s,”
he said, “ and will become a law, bm
with the reservation that silver shall
not be used to pay off the bonds or
to pay duties. For all other pur
poses it will become a legal tendei
for all amounts.’’
41 Do you not think this will so
alarm capital as to cause still greatei
depression and prevent new enter
prises being started?” he was a-ked.
V “ Not at all,” lie replied. “ On
the contrary, it will give ns a pcrio.i
of renewed good times. All busim-s-
will feel the stimulus of this inflation
and capitalists will give way and go
in with the rest. But what I think
of more importance by firr th in this
is that the passage of the Silver bill
will put the currency question out ol
polities. On that both parties an
split up. When it becomes a law the
Republican party will or.ee more be a
solid army, and it will immediately
turn its attention to the South to
inquire what has become ot the
Soul hern Republican party. Thai
inquiry it will prosecute to the end.
Yon will see that all our platforms
next Fall will talk only of the South,
and will demand to know what ha-
become of the Republican majoritie-
in those States. They will insist on
the use of every law on the statute
books and of every power possessed
by the Federal Government under
the amendments to re-establish and
to maintain the Republican voters in
the South, where, as in Mississppi
and other States these voters l av.
disappeared. This will be taken as
proof of intimidation, and where, as
In Louisiana and South Carolina, tin*
Republicans elected their Governors,
it will be demanded that they shall
be reinstated by the Federal force
and maintained by the same ”
•* Do you not believe that other
and new questions will occupy the
public mind ?”
“No. This question takes pre
cedence of all others. On it we can
arouse the North and solidify the
Republican party, and you will see
that tliis will be the issue in 1S80.
As to the President, he finds himself
in an untenable position. It is a mis
take to think that be can g.t -long
without a party*. lie cannot, and he
will have to surrender. The few
supporters he now has among Re
publicans will be forced to abandon
him unless he docs, and lie cannot
stand alone. lie is not a strong
man, and he *\vill find that his civil
service reform ideas and his Southern
policy are impracticable and visionary
notions. The South is thetrue issue;
and when the Silver bill becomes a
law there will remain nothing to
divide the Republican party, which
will march solidly into the canvass of
J.880, stronger than ever. The Pres-
i-l -lit '.ill have ii> re.hrm !>i< Cabinet PRESS MEATS.
:md briny it intik harmony with the _ _ _ ' ,
It will not be long before lie ^- J- Heal & YV. F. H00(1,
party
see* this When lie iloes that we
shall be a united party, and all these
dis-eii-inns will vanish; we shall have
tie* solid Non Ii l.ciiind its once more.”
This, t here is good reason to be-
li« ve. is at present the programme ol
the Republicans.
Growing: Disregard for the
Sunday.
(Now Yom C.»rrc.«pomlenc.~ Chicago Journal.1
The seventh day is every year re
garded less, in New York, as the
Lad’s day. We U'c steadily ap
proximating tmvaid Parisian habits
and manners as regards the Sabbath.
It was only* a few years ago that
good people would not permit Sunday
p pers to come nto their ilwefiings,
and I can well remember the surprise
and pain which wore occasioned in
many religions home circles when the
Times appeared with a Sunday edi
tion. Now all the leading dailies of
New York, with the exception of the
Tribune, ha/e their Sun-lay editions,
ami wha is more, put special labor
upon these issues. The Sunday San
is a marvel of good original and se
lected reading matter, while the
Sunday Times and World vie with
•ach other in caterioy to the tastes
of the best class of newspaper read
ers—those who are fond of literature
and the fine arts. The issuing of a
Sunday edition bv the Times in war
times was palliated by the fact that
people were every day anxious to
hear from the front; but religious
people warmly applauded the course
ot tlu- Tribane in announcing that it
should publish no Sunday edition.
Now, about everybody in New Y rk,
-ainls and sinners, church-goers and
non-church-goers, take the Sunday
tapers or have access to th.-ir read
ing. Twelve years ago it would
have been about as much as a minis
<u’s reputation was worth to have
advertised his hour and place of
service in a Sunday paper. Now
nany of them systematically do it. _
Formerly many religious people
would not patronize horse cars on
Sunday, and signed petitions to have
them debarred from running upon
that day. Now they are crowded
wi h people going to and coming
from church, and in a few Sundays
more the steam cars on the elevated
railroads now building will lie thun
dering up and down Sixth avenue
and in any of our principal thorough-
ares from Sunday nmrn till Sunday
night.
Fifteen years auo New Yorkers
would have been horrified at the idea
of our public places of amusement
being permitted to remain open on
Sunday. Now, under the head of
“ sacred concerts,” etc. some of the
theatres and amusement halls are
giving performances regularly on
Sunday evenings, and it now looks as
if all tiie theatres might be in full
bias: in a few years’ time with Sun
day nilernoon matinees and Sunday
evening “ lull bills.” Whatever
cninpuiutions of conscience proprie
tors ] ossossed were quieted on the
ground that thousands of people had
•ii time on week days for witnessing
the “ moral and instructive” enter
tainments, given on the theatrical
boards.
Yesterday, Sunday, President
Elliott, of llavard College, was to
receive his friends at the residence ot
an acquaintance here, and Story was
to give an entertainment to a private
party.
Manifestly here is a topic, and a
fruit fill one for the pulpit and the re
ligious press. Shall New York anil
then our other large American cities
have no Sunday, like Paris ?
Mr. Hayes told a correspondent iu
New York Sunday ti nt he was “ in
favor of a silver dollar if it is an hon
est dollar—if it is a dollar in fact as
well as name”—and that was as far as
he would commit himself.
The temperance lolk of Yarmouth,
N. S., a few days ago, attended a sale
at the custom-house, bought up all the
liquor and emptied it into the sewers.
