It mnu be a churlish nature that cannot relax under the softening lnlluences ol the abinddn of Christmas.’ With the large majority of our people the good cheer will be tree and ample. Tlw bleakness without will but intensify tha warmth within. There are hearths and homes too desolate to be reached by festi val fires, a sad bat Inevitable example of theexigencles of life. The poor stand always at our gates, There are those to whom fortune has been seemingly unkind. Men tnd women hard ened by experience may look unflinchingly apon the frowns of fate, but there are little ones who cannot compre hend that the natal day the Prince of Peace does not bring .|oy and happiness to them. The men and wo men wbocan do something for these will seek their p'llows to-night with a reflection more lasting than the ephemeral Arcs which give signal to the general Joy. The TxLtoBArit congratulates its friends upon the improved condition of affairs. It unites most cordially with Its patrons in the hope that our troablons days are pnt forever behind ns, and that Georgia is approaching an era that shall surpass those she has known in the development of a treat State and an enlightened citizenship.

Early in January, it is stated, Mr. Clave land w 11 lay aside the duties and responsi bilities o( the Governorship of New York. In the time intervening between that date and the 4th of March, he will doubt less address himself to the selection of cabinet and the formulation of an adminis trative policy. The country expects that he trill clearly and forcibly define the prin- clptes by which be will be gnlded, and that his language will be of inch a charac ter as to (orbld any double construction of bit real meaning.

While It may be truly aald that tbe editor of the Courier-Jonrnel neither owns nor runs the Democratic party, yet it most be admitted that he D an active.

For contra, It is claimed that Mr. Cleveland's speeches in New Jersey and Connecticut satisfied the tariff views ot their people end commanded their sup- port. The old difference ol interpretation still stands as widely open as a plantation gate. Partisans arrange themselves on either side. Mr. Cleveland tailed, in hla latter ol acceptance, to close the contro versy. He could, end did. say that he did not make the platform, end that as a can didate he would not attempt to interpret It.

The people ol Georgia were shocked at the intelligence flashed from Washington that John E. Bryant had been confirmed as tbe United States marshal for the north ern district o( the Slate, without protest from their Senators. The fact that the confirmation seemed to have quickly fol lowed the appointment warrants the be lief that both Senators voted (or the con firmation. It is to be presumed that they were in their places, and in the absence ol any explanation, It is reasonable to pre sume that Bryant received their support, Bryant was appointed, not by reason of hie fitness for the position in any reaped but in return lor political service rendered tbe President. If his confirmation has been helped or permitted by tbe Senators from Georgia, to whom he and hie party associates may have heretofore rendered valuable political eer vice, it is sufficient to say that the people yol Georgia were not parties to the contract and received no benefit from the consider- ikon. If political obligations have thus been squared it fa needless to sty, that such an act should a.id does receive the unqualified condemnation of every honest citizen, may be said that Bryant was permitted to go into office, lor the reason that he would be a fit and e^sy person to remove, under the new and coming administration. Is there any assurance that Mr. Cleve land will remove or suspend an official in dorsed by the votes of two Senators from the State in which tbe official keeps his carpet bag! Would not a Republican Senate be justi fied In sustaining one of He friends, whose confirmation had received the sanction of the Senator! from Georgia? It this thing has been done to conciliate Arthur, and to make plain and easy tbe way for more political dickering, is it not manifest that there is ample margin lor a hitch in the future proceedings? These suggestions being met, let Its look at the case upon its merits. What claim has Bryant on the people of Geor gia? For more than twenty years he has been an active Cand unscrupulous fomenter of political and personal discord and strife between the races. He could not possibly receive tbe Indorsement of any respectable commu nity, and if left to the votes of Ihe people ot tbe State, his confirmation would be unanimously rejected. He Is odious to all respsclable people. The mention ot life oareer in Augusta and elsewhere is suffi cient to arouse resentment. The Senators (rom Georgia were aware of these facts, which are but mildly stated. Do they represent the people, or political cliques and cabala? la the public business, the good order end peace of society, to be subserved by tbe appointment of a man to a high office for the discharge of which be is notorious ly unfit? Itoannot be Mid in mitigation or defense that hla confirmation could not have been prevented. Arthur attempted ininlt end outrage the good peop'e ot Alabama by a similar nomination and Senators Pagh and Morgan by a sturdy resistance Mved their people from the wrong and -igno miny. If Bryant baa bargained with the Senators to kosp the place warm for oae of their henchmen in return for their sup port. then are the people of Georgia doebly wronged, and a press that fails to proteat against this whole matter in behalf ot the people fails to comprehend and to dir charge Its duty. Randall Relnvltsd, Recently, upon the announcement tbit Hon. Samuel J. Randal! would visit sev eral of the Southern cltief in response to some invitations, among them Louisville, tbe Courier-Journal launched forth a fiery article In which the Pennsylvanian was denounced In pretty stiff language, consid ering the provocation.

The St. Loata Globe Democrat, which ii published in tbe rity where Gen. Sherman resides, expre'ses the opinion that the letter recently given to the public by Gen.
