CbriMmai. '
Before the next Uiaeof the Guakd
Cbrietraas will bve pawed; so to all
our readers we wiwh a Merry Christ
mat. . Of all the red loiter days io
lh) year, Christmas lathe rosiest.
Smiling like a child'a face peeping
out of warm fura. What ehould it
be if not merry ? Other holidays
have their especial merit, but Christ
mas excels them all in richness and
variety. It it tho oldest of all our
great festivals, and the holiest and
and happiest associations cluster
around it. It is covered with the
Ivy of nearly two thousand years and
,with its eolemn antiquity are blended
tho memories ol childhood. For
ever old and yet forovor young.
Christmas rules the year with the
double sceptre of sweet religion and
innocent joy. Its pictim-squo it
charming, for it comes with tho Win-
.ter, like a rose that hlossonn in the
snow. The winds may race over our
cold, rainy streets liko wolves on an
Arctic snow waste, tho rivers be
frozen and the skiet dark will)
elouds, but tho cold without only
increases the warmlb within. The
contrasts is essential to Christ max,
and the sterner the reign of Winter,
the more beautiful is the Summer of
.the heart, the soflcr nnd sweeter tho
happiness of tht home. .
Christmas does not come clone,
but with a train of attending dnys.
It loeks beforo and and after. First,
t'lero are tho pleasures of anticipation
cheerful preparations, deep plots for
agreeable surprises and profound con
sultations of the' domestic cabinet.
Then comes Christmas itself, when
all these hopes aro fulfilled, these af
tfeotionato schemes ilixolosod, these
wonders rcvealod. Then wo out from
fibs bond, given by the year, nil tho
pretty coupons of love nnd friendship
But Christmas does not end with tho
day. As it was preceded by the
"pleasures of hope," to it is followed
by tho delight of content. Merry
Christmas blonds with Happy Now
.Year, as when tho lining moon and
setting sun Interweave their beams
into ono heavily light, .

" tteualui Ilavnic) in rtl wwnVi
on tho Chincso question gnvo utter
ance to sentiments that in our view
i . . ... . .
:.-iiLa liih i-iiHU uiiiiiiri mil v. rM iim nr
lisynnl said ho wns opposed to the
introduction of Chincso labor to com
pete will) American lahoicrn, just ns
he was opposed to tho introduction
of tho Oriental system of government
in the country. The Oriental, he
said, had no conception of tho nature
of republican institutions, and moro
ovr it Lad been iflcctually demon
- ,trted by ttriiish experience in In
dia that tho Orientals had a danger
oui capacity for secret combinations
. which would make it especially dan
gerous in this country to admit Chi
nese to citizenship. Tho Ilritish in
India, be said, made the experiment
ol appointing native judges, but it
was soon discovered that through
their secret combinations olUnder
and judges were noting in concert
.and no crimes could bo punished
Tho experiment was porforce abuu
. donod, but aside from tht polilicul as
- peot of the Chines qunsliou, Senator
Ilaysid said that he foil we owed
, something to our owu race. For his
nart ho bvlievod in a whiio man's
government in the broadest sense ol
the term. lie thought thero were
, something moro in this life worth It v
ing for than golting rich. He would
rather take some of the discomforts
of poverty and see all shout him ot
his own kind enjoying life free from
.competition with degraded labor,
than to have all the luxuries of life
while others were suffering. A great
,r calamity, in li;s judgement, could
.not befall his country than to have
an inundation of - Orientals. He
.thought it was tho duy of Congress
lo tako some immediate and t'llicicnl
, steps to arrents Chinese immigration
II dots not Ulieve in toe 11 irlin"-
; am Treaty, and In hit ju lgem nt it
was of very much loss importauce to
this country than had bu n generally
.supposed.
Thue art noble sentiment, plain
llj and forcibly exprtsvd. They
.will receive sincere and, warm appro
ibation in tht Pacitio Stairs, Senator
; Bayard struck the kry note ben he
.remarked there was something. better
than ricbea to livo and strive for.;
But h touched the very foundation
principle in hit declaration against
tho introduction ot degraded labor
by an inferior race. He is sound,
therefore, as he states, upon tho pro
position to do away with the Hurl-
ingamo Treaty, and hit eminent worm
and sterling qualities, whiuh givo him
so much influence in tho Senate, and
cause him jty bo so much honored and
admired throughout tho Republic,
will bo of incalculable benefit at the
proper time in the interest of our peo
ple, toward the abolition or material
amendment of that most baleful in
strument, by which this Coast wns
practically surrendered to China, as a
sort of treasure land for the Mongo
lian swarrns to visit and plunder and
depart iVom with their Well-filled
pockets. Senator Bayard has more
thm ever endeared himtolf to the
people o,f tho I'acifio Const by his
statesman-like declarations on the
Chinese question.
.A .Move in the Bight Dire lion.
3. V. Examiner.
Tho House Committee propose a
Hill to reduce tho salaries ol Ministers
abroad, and to dispense with some ol
tho missions now maintained. The
reduction proposed in first class mis
sions is thu. restoration to tho old
Democratic standard, which was
enough for honest, republican ser
vice at foreign courts. If tho Amer
ican people are to pay lor the
'splurge abroad ot Ministers who ape
tho manners of royalty or aristocracy
nothing less than a hundred thous
and a year in each case will suffice,
Since it is preposterous to go to that
frivolous excess, republican manners,
pure and simple, should be observed.
In the early days of tho Confederate
United States nnd tho Republic, tho
pomp and pageantry of European
Courts wero grander than now. Yet
Dr. Franklin, Thomas Jefferson,
Jumes Monroe, nnd even tho aristo
cratic Federalist, ltulus King, in
those tiaics icprejcntod their country
wilh a dignity and nppropr'utoness
which hns never h'iiico been sur
passed. And in periods more mod
cm, such courtly men ns Kdward Ev
erelt, and ns dignified a statesman as
James Buchacnii, have represented
this (iovcrnmeiil at tho proud Court
of St. James. General Cass was a
jilnb man, but Louis Pnilippo hon
ored him in his plain garb of respco
tab'.o American uiluenship, an the
-- r -yl44"V. " ui.Mll!n
people, nnd aslnngton Irving at
tho Conn oriain never telt his own
or his country's dignity the lcs in
iho presence ot mnjosi.y for being of
simple, linos eolations habits, ns be
fitted thu Ministers of n mighty
Power whoso found lion was deep
laid in genuine republicanism, with
no tulso decoration to tho noble su
perstructure, no tinsel in its real
adornment. Whou the great Demo
cratic statesmun, Win, L. Maiey, was
Secretory of State, he instructed our
Ministers in Europe to conform to
the republiuau dress and habit ot the
American people It was a wise and
nn 1 far-seeing instruction. Ho did
not view llio Foreign Missions ns the
means to enable wealthy Americans
to ostentatiously paiadu ut the
Courts and in the C;imI..Is of Europe
their golden store and their magnifi
cence of display. Could he now arise
from his grave, or could Franklin
and Jefferson, their eyes would be
duz.l.d and their senses conlounded,
as their hearts would grow sad at
contemplation ot tho fiuure, while
viowiug Iho deposition to pomp and
circumstance of Am.-ricnu Legations
abroad, ned tho copying at home of
thoso who have- Mono Europe and
returned with only its glitter and
follies and icet, as they exhibit their
patterns taken from aristocracy, ns
the stage king exhibits the splendor
of hu costume, to attract tho atten
tion ol spectators to tho adou.ment
which is, after all, worth mcr '.I an
jho person. This reformation i tie
foreign service is much required, 8' ti
Congres can nowhere more appro
priately apply tho pruning knife.
