CHRISTMAS.

-Christmas has been celebrated as a festival in the Church from about one hundred years after the death of Christ, but was not established by formal authority C? until in the fourth Century. In the 'rCatholic and Greek Churches it has always been observed with the greatest honor, abd in both of them dramatic exhibitions of the scenes of the nativity have been common. The stable, the manger, and the holy family, are always conspicuous objects and not a little ridicule and fury have been poured oat on such representations. The introduction of the, ass, imitations of his unmusical notes, and

Churches also observe the day with religious and festive rites, while Dissenters and Presbyterians in the old world have rejected it as a vain superstition, if not diabolical invention.

In the great struggle for supremacy be tween Episcopacy and its enemies, which added not a little to the bitterness of the civil warfrof the times of

KINO,

Christmas in "merrie England," both before and after those troublous times was an event of far more importance than it has ever been with ns. It had its days and weeks of preparation engag ing the thoughts and hands of the entire household. It was the time of family reunions, when all wanderers returned to .the parental roofs to renew, the bonds of family love. It was kept with the ap proval of the Church, was a special season of hilarity, and old and young joined in its sports and cheer with hearty good "will. It was the season which crowned the gladness of the year, and the old stage coachcs were seen full of happy faces, homeward bound, sure of the joyful welcome. Evergreens were wrought into all manner of devices to tell the story of the occasion, and mistle-toe boughs were hung in all eligible places, that unwary maidens, enticed beneath them, might forfeit kisses to their watchful lovers. Great fires blazed in the broad chimneys, and especially on Christmas eve, when the yule log was brought in with boisetrous mirth.

The Lord of misrule, or master of merry sports the Christmas dinner, with its crowning glory, the peacock pie the Wassail bowl, apple jacks, and mince pies, were concomitants of the occasion. Drinking was of course largely indulged in, but it was mulled cider, and old English ale, not the fiery and destructive spirits of modern distillation. But these were poured in torrents,' and the great bowl passed to every mouth, old and young. "A Merry Christmas" was the universal greeting, and gifts of love and friendship were profusely made.

Nor were the obligations of religion forgotten in this season of festivity. The church was always decorated with evergreens and flowers, until the hoary December smiled with the freshness of May. And however inattentive the people might be at other times,the parson was su. of an audience then. Nay, their conviction of the holiness of this season, with all the hilarity which greeted it, was more profound than ours.

people and they were not so easily dis posed of as the unfortunate

CHARLES,

Hence, when the next Christmas season came round it was generally observed, some London traders were seriously hand led for attempting to keep open shop, and the Mayor of Canterbury had his head -J, broken while attempting to keep the peace. Christmas would not be put down, and now that the asoerbities of the contest are past, Catholics and Protestants, Epis .. copalians and Independents alike join in its observance.

SHAKSPEARE

has embodied the popular conception thus: over 'gainst that season

"Some say that comes Wherein our Savior's birth is celebrated, This bird of dawning singeth all night long And then, they say no spirit dares stir abroad Tho nights arc wholesome—then no planets strike, No .fairy takes* no witch hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious is the time."

Of our own Christmas customs, it might be said in general terms, that we have none that are either national or homogeneous. As our society liaslittle coherence, being a conglomerate of many elements,this is not strange. We have preserved something of the customs of our English ancestry, but unfortunately only the worst features. We have abandoned! heir rude hilarity, and family sports, but hold fast their drinking habits. People who are sober all the year, get drunk on the Savior's birthday. We banish the wassail bowl from the social board, and drink whisky in the public bar-room. No great improvement in our judgment. Our Christmas tree, which is fast winning its way into favor, is of German origin. It deserves to be transplanted into our American society, as a cheap and admirable means of enjoyment for the young. But there is danger that it too will lose its

character, and be given over to

Sunday Schools, and other public occasions. As for the German fiction of Kriss Kringle or Santa Clause, it is quite exploded. Young America is altogether too wide awake to be caught napping while he makes his nocturnal visits, so our toys are displayed in the shop windows, and distributed in the open day.— "Merry Christmas" has given place to a blatant "Christmas Gift," as vulgar as it is mercenary.

In fact, neither our religious nor social life makes account of Christmas and consecrates it to wholesome domestic sports, which ought to de done. We make religion a business by itself, pursue it with the same eagerness we devote to daily callings, and as far as possible divorce it from amusements and society. The effect is apparent, sport, banished from the church and its observances, has lost caste in society, and the young are forced to seek it in the drinking saloons, gambling houses, and theatre pit. Our readers can draw their own moral, as we shall close by earnestly wishing such a reform of our social st&te as will each year bring to all "A Merry Christmas."

Judge of the Sixth United States Circuit —comprising the States of Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee—was bom at St Albans, Vt., in 1823, and was educated in Ohio. He removed to Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1838, and has been a continuous resident of that city ever since. He was chosen Probate Judge in 1848, State Senator in 1860, and in March, 1863, was appointed District Judge of the United States Court for the Western District of Michigan. He was also a prominent member of the Michigan jQpnstitutional Convention of 1867.

PAPERS intimate that tfre Illi

nois Constitutional 'Convention has not made a very bright begining in the direction of retrenchment—at least so far as its officers are concerned. The Republican is credibly informed that one of the subordinate officers of the Convention purchased a ten-dollar trunk in Springfield, filled it with about a hundred dollars' worth of the State's stationery, and took it home at the adjournment for the holidays. A hundred dollars' worth of stealings the first week is pretty fair, and if the officer in question does as well for the balance of the session, he at least, will have made a "pretty good thing" out of the Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS LETTER.

TIUS DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

Dec. 24, 1869.

The Democratic State Central Committee, or as many of the incongruous ele. ments as could be got together safely, in consequence of the Pendleton muddle, held a meeting in this city Thursday, Sept. 30th, and whereased and resolved that there were certain State offices,.the emoluments and honors

which should

be absorbed by the Democratic party. They didn't use exactly that language you know but the words meant just that though spelled differently. In fact, the frequent visits of prominent Democrats to the Capital, the packing of County Conventions, the puffs of obscure newspapers, and all that sort of thing, are but the efforts of the knowing ones to get their vigorous grasp upon the spoils of office.— So, looking longingly to that end, they called a State Convention, to beholden in this city on the ever-memorable Eighth of January.

The basis of representation is one delegate to each one hundred and fifty vote3 given for Mr. Hendricks, for Governor, and one for each fraction of one hundred and over. This will give the Convention one thousand one hundred and twentynine delegates—enough to make Kome howl for one day—and every man of them will be here. A Democrat never fails to vote, or attend a Convention to which he is a delegate, and in that respect the Democratic head is level and it is to that idiosyncrasy, as much as to anything else, that the party is indebted for its cohesiveness.

In this city for instance, the party is separated into a number of feuds and factions, the principal being known as the Bright and Talbott rings or cliques. Besides, there is general disturbance, caused by matters that have no political sem blance, and from E. J. Bright to Joe Lofton and Chancellor Koberts, there no recognized leader, Mr. Bright is the head and front of the party in the State, whether acknowledged or not, and the obstreperous disorganizers who have sought to checkmate his movements, will soon learn a thing or two in political strategy.

All this, however, is of little moment to the rank and file. In the State Convention the steam whistles of Jasan B, Brown and Marcus Aurelius Packard will elicit as much applause as the eloquence of orators and statesmen and the delegates will vote in harmony and unanimity,to all outward appearances, and every man will havetthe aspect of extreme serenity and joyous expectation. And there will be a wonderful amount of telegraphing and re porting done and windy speeches will be publishhed, and though lots of candidates that didn't get nominated will be awfully down in the mouth, to the Demoatic world everything will appear rosy and auspicious. It's the sort of thing they enjoy.

COMING TO THE SURFACE.

As usual there i,s avast army of candidates who are ready to serve the State in mo3t any good position They don't care very much about the matter, but as their friends have advised, they have concluded to go in. They have been mentioned by county papers that scorn the subsidy of dollars and cents, and some of them have been instructed for by home conventions. Some of the men, it is true, have been candidates for the same places during the past ten or fifteen years, but they are all the better known for that, and this time they come on the track as fresh as ever.

.THE SUPREME COURT.

Already the names of twenty-odd candidates for the Supreme Court have been announced, and there are several townships yet to hear from. Among those mentioned are: Judge Bicknell, of Floyd County William F. Parrett, of Vanderburgh James M. Hannah, of Sullivan Samuel E. Perkins, of Marion John Pettit, of Tippecanoe Thos. W. Wollen, of Johnson W. H. Harrington, of Jefferson Napoleon B. Taylor, of Marion James Bradley, of La. Porte W.

Some of the skilfullest wire-palling and pipe-laying in the caucuses and at the hotels will be for the nominations for Auditor and Treasurer of State. All sorts of contracts will be made, and votes will be swapped and men and delegations will be sold, to get what they all seem to think a splendid thing. Some of the patriots named for this place are: John B. Stall, editor of the Ligonier Banner Noble County W. S. Turner, Daviess Jno.JC. Gardner, Posey Wm. Steele, Jun. Wabash E. T. Keichtley, Putnam J. C. Shoemaker, Perry J. V. Bemusdaffer, Franklin Gen. Mahlon D. Manson, Montgomery.

SECRETAER OF STAT&

This office is sought for by Col. Norman Eddy, of St. Joseph county S. L. McFadin, of Cass—McFadin is Mayor of Logansport and probably don't care much for it— Gen. R. C. Kise, of Boone—he wants it— Dr. W. F. Sherrod, of Orange Jason B. Brown, of Jackson,—who was always up when Packard was down—J. N. Conley, of Greene Gen. James JR. Slack of Huntington.

TREASURY OF STATE.

James B. Ryan, of this city, is the candidate. He has been defeated several times, but he is the hardest man to discourage in the State, and now, as if he had never received a hintj he looms np vigorously. Ryan is in the wholesale liquor business. It is supposed to be a good business. At all events it is for a candidate, and James B. knows it. Jugs

it not for Ryan, who has as many dacats a? Pat. and that wholesale house beside*, he would probably get the nomination.— James B. Foley, df Decatur, has turned himself loose again, and B. F. Jones, of Bartholomew, and Levi Sparks, of Clark, think they have as good a chance as any.

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The candidates for this office of hard work and little pay are numerous. Bayless Hanna has the inside track. The other expectants are C. S. Dobbins, of Martin county B. B. Daily, of Carroll B. F. Davis, of Shelby Wm. Made, of Vigo Cyrus F. McNut, of Morgan Jas. W. Sans berry, of Madison George Howk, of Clark. SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUC

TION.

The Democracy don't care much about public instruction or common schools.— Only one candidate has been named, Dr. James W. Kyle, of Jennings county.—" Kyle will probably get the nomination,

JUDGE DAVID 8. GOODING

of Hancock county, is a candidate for—it is hard to tell what he is a candidate for. He will take most anything, and the "Democracy would do well to give it to him. The Judge received many valuable lessons from that political Mephistopholes, Andy Johnson, and his services would be of much benefit.

He is one of the best cross-roads orators, that ever travelled through mud and darkness to fill an appointment. He has unbounded assurance in addressing the people, and the way he loosens his cravat, and rolls up his coat sleeves, and pounds the arguments into his hearers, is exhilerating to witness. He did that for us in 1864, when he was on the right side, and it is the refinement of justice to say that he contributed immensely to the Republican success that year. Alas, the Judge has gone back to his mutton, and is now one of the worst Democrats in the State.

THE STATE DEBT—A CORRECT® N An error somehow'crept into the figures I gave you on the IStlyn reference to transj actions in relation to the State Debt during the fiscal year ending Oct. 31., 1869. I stated' that the foreign debt wa3 $1,636,956.33. This, however, did not include the War Bonds and Two and one-half per cent certificates, yet unredeemed. The present foreign debt is as follows: Five per cent. Certificates... $1,636,956 33 Two and one-half ... 4,740 13 War Loan Bonds........ 204,000 00

Total ......l'..:.. $1,845,696 46 The whole amount of indebtedness redeemed d.ur ing the year is $1,695,588 33
