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.

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.
