This is right, and will eventually win. THE WEaTSER AND THE POOR. Winter b is come down upon us at last with unmistakable indications that it haa come to stay, and the surroundings are of a character of terrible import to the poor. The enow lies deep upon the ground, giving in tensity to the chilling wind, and completely preventing the gleaners from procuring auch fuel as may be fvund upon the streets and out of way places. With lack of warmth hunger becomes still more pinching, and destitution in all regards more aggravated. Under such circumstances it is hardly teceseary to remind the benevolent that now is the time for active work and large charities. Every benevolent heart In the city should beat responsive to the calls for help, and those who by heaven's blessing have abundance may give with the blessed assurance that It Is better to give than to receive. Evidently there is no time for postponing the good work. What is done should be done quickly. Indianapolis haa a .good record for timely aid to the suffering, and the field for Christian work was never more inviting. SAVINGS B AKKS AND LEGISLATION. It is quite probable that the legislature, -when it eon venes, will regard It proper to have additional legislation with regard to the management of savings banks. The sub' ject is well worthy of consideration, for, in its various aspect), it relates to interests which require special attention. The term "savings" is suggestive of a line of thought which includes some of the most vital questions of social science. Tbey relate to the economies of living, and therefore underlie the superstructure cf fortunes, or, in a modrifled sen, to the guarding agunst want in times when employment can not be obtained, and whea money is wanted .for sickness and for death. This disposition to economise and to save something .has been Justly regarded as a matter of such vital importance tbet elaborate statistics liave been prepared showing the extent of lf posits in savings banks as an evidence of painstaking frugality end a vigilant watchfulness against dependence upon public or livate charities. Ia a broader sensa it Mans home ad home comforts for laboring wple, and therefore a larger share of that 'cpendence which Americas institutions .calculated to develop and foster.

" f irt auto cejitile. It is dou'htful if Christian civilization presents in anv of its phases anything more reptrlsive than, its fanatical hottlli'x the Jewish race. There is nothing in race prejudice so entire ly without rational foundations, and In, a.U of its aspect it bears snoh ,loee relation to uarbarisra that to attempt an apology for iu existence requires an obtcsireneM born of iorance and sustained by traditional oetratviu. The Jaws, if we are to feel lave the Bible, are the descendants of Abraham, and as A God chosen people have give the world eoms of its most illustrious characters, to lay do thing of the fact that Christ bfnaelf belonged td the persecuted race. Be.vond " this, even if His betrayal couM be istlj charged to the Jetrs as asa race, it would amount to nothing, ,nd should not be treasured by Christians, slnie Christ himself forgave them because they were Ignorant of what they did. I ' But it ' ja I gratifying to know that Christiana ' are taking boader view ef '

the Jewish question, especially in thia country, and that now the Jews themselves do not hesitate to point cut in what regards they are chargeable with practices calculated to perptute prejudices which are repugnant to comm n secae and in conllict with that catholic spirit which should characterize the American mind. The Jewish , Times handles the subject with'a boldness well cal cula'cd to attract Mttcrt'.lon and bring about a rational, reform. In a 1 recent .editorial upon the subject, "Who' is eshanied to be a 'Jew?" the Time awakened a spirit of inquiry, and one lady writes that "it is all 'very well for men to deny the existence of an anti-Jewish prejudice; they may not feel 'it, but we ladies, fiad it at the watering 'place hotels and in the society we meet A Jewess is rarely treated by a Christian like 'a Christian is." The Times admits that Jewesses may be treated somewhat differently from Christians in Christian society, but dissents from the Idea that it Is due to ai.ti-Jewif.il pre ju lice, and add: The lime ha enras for enlightened Israelites to decide for themselves, ouca for all, if they will form part i f modern noclety.orlf they will continue 10 b Hucially, as wel as Trim iously, a iHTuliar poule. I'Doro can e no hnitin half wny.

Our reade.a well a now that we ar in favor of the in.l unrestricted itocial lnieruro between Jews nd Giitll s Boin would ba gainers by It. Bat such unreMrlcted lnteicouie cau only ex!t when perfect confidence has been etjtaollslied. The fact appears from what the Times says upon the subject, that In New York society the Jews are responsible for much of the prejudice that exists, and Lave it in their power to bring about a wholesome change. While the Times admits that there may be "among some people a feeling against the 'Jews, just as there exists among others a 'feeling against Catholics," it asserts that "all the weight of evidence Is against any any deep rooted, general anti-Jewish pre ju'dice on the part of the American people. Tcr the most part, the difficulties in the 'war of the complete social emancipation of the Jews are the results of the course that the Jews themselves have pursued. Either from fear of intermarriages with ChrisUians, or from a feeliDg of timidity begotten 'of European persecutions, or from a fear 'of the effect of Christian associationa cpon the religion of their 'children, the American Jews oer? tainly have, by their own acts, reared artifi 'clal barriers between themselves and Christian society, and replaced the enforced so'cial exile that thoir fathers complained of by a system of soc'al self-ostracism, which 'is none the leBS burdensome because it is self-imposed." Thjs is an outspoken view of the situation, and we conclude places the responsibility where it belong?, and it is quite likely, should New York Jews set the liberal example which the Times suggests, that a new era in Jew and Gentile intercourse would at once dawn upon the country. At leant such is tbe conclusion of the Jewish Time?, for it closes its article upon the subject by saying that "as soon as Jewish houses are 'opened to Christians, Christian houses will 'be open to Jews, and indeed they are al 'ready. If there exists in New York society 'any prejudice asainit the best class of Jews, 'it would take the tan'erns of ten Dioceneses 'to discover it. Our brethren must not seek 'to excuse their own cowardice by preferring false accusations against Christian society. 'Itiseiniuc coward'Ca as scything else that makes the Jaw continue his sclf-ostra-'cisra and the social exile of hla children. 'As we have repeatedly said, it is only neoVeaary to acquaint the (Jentile world with 'the real character of the Jew to remove from intelligent minds the last vestige of prejudice that exists. When Jews and 'Christians cease to be strangers, we shall ''have no more of anti-Jewhh prejudices.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Debate in the Seaate Personal Appearance of Blaine, RinsonL Coakling, Kernan, Lamar and Others, Personal Gossip About Senators. S peclal Correspondence of the Sent!nel. Washisoto.v, D. C. Dec. 19 The debate in the senate on the BUtne resolutiua on last Monday and Tuesday was one of intense interest and excitement, not so much on account of the subject under discussion as the combatants encaged in it. It cilled out the best talent of that body, and reminded one of a war among the gods. Blaine stood his ground almost single handed, and entirely so on the second day, and, although not at all in sympathy with his undertaking, he won my profound admiration by the skill and courage with which he met each attack and championed his canse, seemingly. un sustained, except in a lukewarm fashion, by bis own party. It was grand to see him with tense muscles and fl ishing eyes springing to meet and ward each fresh attack, and striking bis sonorous word-stabs home. It was almost like a physicil combat.. When the elegant Ransom, of North Carolina, forced a little too much light upon the intentions of the senator from Maine, he sprang like a tier towards bim, rushlag between the seats until he confronted bim faca t fac. and with almost savage ferocity, dsalt words like blows, full between the eyei. Georrti RanMm, however, had the bestof thi argument. He made a very fine point, in favor of tbe amendment, that the committee bhoutd sit with open doors showing how very anxious Blaine bad been to "torn on the lights" and now. that the democrats were also tnxious to "turn on the lights," aLd have the fullest and freest public invett g'ition, be is equally anxious to "turn oif the lights," i. e., to investigate in secret, so that he can turn tbe liht only on such facts as be may select for illumination. General Rinaom's speech was a telling one, showing bow anxious the south is for conciliation and peace, and how detrimental to tbe interests of all concerned is an attempt to arouse sectional feeling, which he con aiders is the tendency and object of this in vesiigation. The njxt morning I noticed a maguificent bouquet gracing the senator's desk, doubtless presented in appreciation of his oratorical effort. lie is a tall, fine-look in man, with dark eyes and dark hair and whiskers streaked with gray; is somewhat bold. General Batler, of South Carolina, the senator who made the motion to sit with open doors, also gave a very strong argument in favor of his position. lie is considered one of tbe handsomest men in the senate, having a very aristocratic and high bred a well as intellectual cast of countenance just our ideal of southern chivalry. Jle has a wooden leg, giined in the confederate service, but walks with sucb elegaoce aud ease that one would not suspect iu On Monday Conkling created a good deal of amusement by the adroit way in which' he avoided mentioning Blaine when it became necessary to refer to bim in combatting the referring of the investigation to the judiciary committee, ot which he is chairman As is well known, tbe two rival statesmen have not spoken for 12 years. In reference to something that Blaine had proposed, he said, "A suggetion baa fallen on .my ear;" and, again, "As the senator from Ohio and another senator have suggested." Of the two senators Blaine seems altogether the most popular with his own party, in congress, at least. A certain hau'eur and unapproachableness of manner detract from Conkling's popularity, although it is said by his in 1mates that they are more apparent than real, and that those who penetra'e his seeming reserve find bim a very genial and pleasant companion, and a very intel'ig-nt one as well, as he is highly cultivated and versed in all sorts of knowledge, and a perfect master of language. His colleague, 8ntor Kernan. is quite another fctyle of man, equally high toned, bnt witn a cordial, courteous manner, which makes one feel at borne aud at one's bett at once. He is, however, rear sighted, and warns his friends not to be offended if he does not always see them; sys he bnrdly knows his own wi.'e if she ctiang-s her dress. In personal appearance he reminds one of an Englishman or Scotchman, with bis fringe of gray whiskers well back on his cheeks and chin. He Is of rather spare build, but well formed. Although not so prominently before tbe public as his compeer, it is from no lack of ability, either asa lawyer or states man, in both of wnich capacities be hoi da the first rank. He dealt some very heavy blows in tbe debate on Monday, In favor of having tbe investigation proceed with open doors. In his retort Blaine roused Lamar, of Mississippi. It was like Mars letting slip the dogs of war. Horse, foot and dragoons descended upon bim; grape and canister, shot and shell rattled about his devoted head. He attempted resistance, and sped one swift shaft at bis adversary, but it was instantly returned, tipped with acrimony, and the champion, who had so gallantly withstood the repeated attacks of fresh adversaries, apparently concluded that this was a stroke too much for even his Samsonian strength, and so beat an orderly retreat, or at least attempted - no farther defense. Lamar remorselessly smote him bip and thigh with the Damascus blade ' of his trenchant, with an sarcasm, and borled an overwhelming uses of facta and solid arguments at his head. Boated, bat not subdued, the gallant enemy retired from the field, bnt only to renew the conflict with fresh vigor on the morrow, while the martial Lamar, aathfied with having proven bis prowess as a champion, also retired to tbe ranks. While watching this conflict, I mentally characterized Blaine as the tiger and Lamar as the Hon, the closely cropped iron gray whiskers and hair, as well as exEreesion and motion, of the former, and the owing brown hair and beard of the latter, bearing oat tbe eimtltadea. In talking with Senator Lamar afterward, I was surprised, considering the virulence of his attack upon him, to hear him ay that be was very fond of Blaine, and, Indeed, all of his opponents took occasion, in the course of their remarks, to bear witness to hie ability, evidently feellog a savage pleasure In jousting with a foeman whom they are proud to acknowledge as worth f of their steel. In this re pec t thi democratic side of the boose is more chival. roas than the opposition. Although in dnlgingin vituperation of men as well as mtasurei, they generalfy find place for some graceal acknowledgement of this kind. On the first day of the debate on this same qaesUoo, for instance, when the epeaker gave notice that be would lear the galleries if tbe applause, which folfowed one ot Senator Tburman's remarks, should be repeated, altheugb be said nothing a Jew minutes be fore when Blaine was eppladrd the fenator sid. "I bone there will be no disturb ance, although I made no complaint when the senator from Maine was aDEauded, for I like an eloquent thins when I h.ar it" This admiration and friendship for polit ical antagonists is not uncommon. I find. however, for instance. FnatorThu.man and Senator Edmunds, of Vermont, are warm friends. The latter is said to nvemble strikingly the 1'uke de Bourbon, the t'amoas constable of Fra.ce, a bust of whom is .'nthe possession of a doehter of the late General Case. He is familiarly known: howevr. as Saint Jerome on account of his austerely Virtuous mien, T suppose, and be

Is certainly. one cf the most strikingly intellectual looking men In the senate, and whenever he rises to fpeak one is sure to bear something to tbe point His arguments are keen, clear and logical. .-... Senator Ea'ou. of Connecticut, a tUunch democrat, and Senator Conkling are also warm friends. In the hou) the genial J. Troctor Knott and the rad'.csl Wm. I. t rye, of Maine, are warmly attached to each other. Many other instances ot thlDam-m eni Pythias, David and Jonathan arrangement between men of different political faiths migtit be mentioned. An amn-ing incident occurred during the course of Senator Lamar's speech. In soma reference which he made to tbe supreme court Blaine interrupted, and said h didn't suppose it wou'd be any great shock to that body, but he di tiered froia the court. Lv msr replied tba. on the contrary, he thought the court would bs greatly shocked, but that it would probaoly survive. On Tuesday Merrimon, of North Carolina; Wallace, of Pennsylvania; Whyte, of Maryland, and Morgan, of Alabama, made ppeeches in opposition to the Blaine resolution, reviewing the situation in the moit exhaustive manner. As all three men are lawyers by profession, each holding the very Upbeat rank in bis respective rtate, the forensic display was of the most brilliant order, and so enlivened by coruscations of wit and savlre as to rpsftruble a pyrotechnic ptgeaat. Wallace reviewed tbe manner in which elections are carried in Pennsylvania by the CaiLeron clan, and every word was like hot shot in the enemy's camp. His speech was as forcible as bia countenance, which warns p-o( le to get out of the way of one who will walk over all obg ac!es to his object. Speaker R!iIa'l, h- liad vacated the dulr, got near him and congratulated him and sbojit hands with him at U close, which :t ii to be boyed is an omen of returning good fellowship, as it m twid i but tbe two are the It aders of nval factions In Pennjylvant politics. The democracy ctn't afford to indulge ia dissensions. While fa -lions are quarreling the enemy ca-ry the country. peiker Randall is a strlkinaly handsome man, intellect and dignity sitting enthroned on his broad brow an i resolutely d welling in the firm mouth and chin, the latter clean shaven, as is tbe entire face, which ia rather broad than long. He wears specacles. which give h ni a fcbolarly appearance. His hair

and eye are dark. The head is well poised on a pair of broad shoulders, which illus trate tbe general symmetry of form. In appearance he is an ideal presiding officer for m distinguished a body of men, and I should be sorry to see any one less distingue in his place. Senator Morgan in his speech showed how anxious southern people are for northern immigration, and deprecated any sectional agitation as especially hurtful to this inter eL Indeed, northern emigration to the south is tbe one factor which will ultimately solve the prohlem of making us a homoge neous people, and now that there is practi cally no more west lor us to settle we must look southward for cheap homes. as well as for trade, which is always tbe most prosperous between people of differing climates. The second era of our national development is upon us. rue westward march of empire is alrealy accomplished. We mast lok southward, not only to the southern statea. but beyond to Sjuth America and Mexico, at least for our trade. We must build nortn and south liuts of railroad, and especially deepen and improve that great artery of commercial pro-peri ty for the northwest, the Mississippi Kiver. and remember that what promotes the prosperity of one teciiou aJratioaH tbe interests of a.I. as all are inter iepeDd-nt, the manufactured goods of New England finding more reufy sale in the west and sjuih, if the west and south have improved and cheap means of transportation for their crops. thus leafing tbem a margin to spend. This year a pit nuful harvest in the west lies in the granaries unsold because deficiency of markets renders prices so low that there is no margin left after paying high ra esof transportation to tbe satoru. But to return to Morgan's speech. The color line, be said, is more closely drawn in New Englandand in tbe north generally than in the south. Colored delegates are not sent to congress to represent northern const ituenci'S, and in Alabama no northern emigrants will settle la what is known as the "blank belt," i. e., those counties where tbe negroes are in tbe ascendency, aud no wonder, I might add, as tbey would hare their toil for the r pains, if tbey tilled tbe soil or raised stock in negro communities. They would labor that the dariifS might reap, as they think it no sin to tteal from a white man. . List winter, when in Texas I found that in some of the eastern counties where ne groes are in the ascendency . the whites were deserting tbe r farms from this cause, and gXKl improved farms could be bought tlure or leas money tbaa wild lands farther west, and still no purchaser could ba found, although the immigration toother parts of tbe state was immeme. This Btats of affairs, and not penfecaiion, at suggested by Mr. Blaine is the secret of tbe lack of immigration ia the older southern states. Northern people do not like to go into communities where there is a large element of ignorant and vicious people, rendering life and property insecure. Tnis objection will have less force with each succeeding generation, as tbe southern people are awaking to the necessity of educating tbe blscks. and are everywhere founJiog schools for tLem. - The southern people need the Infusion of new life from the vigorous north, unsapped by tbe debilitating effects of climate ac.ing tnrough generations, tbe enervating effecs of slaveey famishing no iacentive to exertion, but encouraging Inertia; and they know it, and desire it to enable them to develop their wonderful resources. All northern men who are not actual firebrands are welcomed there, and only by encouraging such emigration can republicans hope ever to regain their ascendency in the south. A prominent republican from the sooth said to me, the other day, that it was that party's own fault that it had lost its hold on that section. It waa because it had sent so many unscrupulous men there, only bent upon plunder, wco never rea'ly identified themselves with the interests of the country in any way, and Consequently were considered aliens by the people there. All decent republicans are welcomed and well treated. Senator Morgan is a type of the refined southern gentleman, has a clear out face, surmounted by iron gray hair, and an elegant, lithe figure. He is a man of wide culture and quiet sensibilities, an ardent friend and a staunch enemy. Senator W. Pinkney Wbvte, of Maryland, was like a Oatling gun in Tuesday's cannonade. He tent such a s accession cf shots into tbe camp of the enemv as to completely dis mantle tbe fort, dislodiog every gun. After shattering every argument, he launched such a dire philippic at tbe gallant enemy as would have completely demolished a less doughty warrior. Shafts of sarcasm cleaved the air like lances, and ridicule whizzed like bullets about bis ear?. S ill he f tood the a tack m an full v. giving only an occaMon il return shot. Wnjte asked why bis voice waa not rained against tbe know nothing intimidation in 1814 5, and 10 years later In 1S54 5. He replied that at the former date he was a mre boy in the academy; whereupon his opponent expressed his opinion that be never had been a boy that at all events he was now "the old boy in politics." Senator Whyte Is an acute looking man of fifty odd, with gray hair and mustache, otherwise clean shaven, and a pair of keen dark eyes iookiog out from beneath heavy dark eyebrows, through a pair of gold rimmed eye glasses; the nose is slightly aquiline, and a corresponding figure completes the ensemble. Fridsy evening closed the great debate, and the like of which if I bal been bere an entire session I might not have heard, and probably shall not bear again this session. Tbe brightest newspaper in Washington is the Tost, which celabraud ita first anniver

sary a few daysaince. It ought to afford comfort to democratic hearts to knaw that the only daily paper of their faith In Washington, in the short spice of one year, bas by its enterprise and ability so attracted tfce attention and wou the atfrctioa of .the community, as to Lave attained a larger circulation than his ever l-en attained by any morning journal in the capi at. This is indeed a triumph for Mr. 6 i.son Hutchins, the editor sod proprietor, but no gr tr than might hava been predicted of him r-y those who have watched his prev.ous creer iu the west, where he attained the for-ra-st rank among the journalists of St Louis, liven republicans ttcituow eJfc-e tbe Post to be a live newspaper, and one which they can not do without, and they do not not do without in, from members of of the cabinet down to the poorrht clerk. Mr. Hutchins has attained this brilliant sao c Uy merit a'one, without extrinsic aid or backing of any sort. Speaking ot the patt reminds me of what an old citizen told uie of an old time newspaper the National Intelligenc-r in the old days. It was edited and owned by Gales fc P-Hton, who worked harmoniously together for 50 years, and became so inseparably connected 111 the minds of the people that they were always spoken of together. Oa one occasion a gentleman in au assembly asked who a certain youns lad v waa. and

was informed, greativ to bis m prisc!, that she was a daug i'er of Gales & S aton. 2olh ing sensational waa admitted into the col umns of the Inteliigoncer until thoroughly sifted, and such a thing as personal attacks were unknown. The eutire community was unutterably shocked when an ut-a art rival efctet brought a char of dishonesty against a well known itHcial. The editors of this diguitled and high toned paper, poa pessed almost as much iuflaence as a mem ber of the cahinet, being frequently c&iieu in Dy me ai ministration to consult on matteisof public policy. Notwithstanding the huh standing of the paper, however, it did not make its owners' fortunes. Both died poor, aud the widow of one ia still living in very reduced circumstances. Jourualisn has changed since thote days, whether for the better or woree. let others determine. At all events rascality can not cover Itself up from its investigating gaze, for any great length of lime, aud lack of dignity ia compensated for by ireshnesi 01 news. Wiliard's Hotel, to long the stand-by of vtasniogton, nas oeen recently refitted In the most elegant style by Brestia fc Rjed, of New York, aud ta&es its rank as a first class, modern hotel, s'ean and other improve men ts being introduced. It. had tadiy degenerated before, and it is really pleasant to see the old landmark rejuvenated and re stored. A new book, published by Porter & Coates,' 01 fhrade.'phia, called "The Fireside Encyclopedia of roe try," has made its appear ance upon tbe book sellers' counters as one of tbe special attractions of the holidays. It is an elegant royal octavo volume, containing a large number or fcne tcel engravings and twelve hundred selections of poetry from over four hundred English and American authors. It has be;n the work of orer nine years of culling by Mr. Coates, one of the members 01 the publishing house, and cer tainly reflects great credit upoi both his taste and judgment It also contains an appendix of copious notes, eiviue inforraa tion both in regard to tbe poems and their authors, much of it new to tie general pub lie, or only attainable by treat research This feature of the work makes it invaluable asa bojk of refererce, especially as the au(uoruies are aiwaya quoua, rendering it a great acquisition to the literature of the country.

The premium on eold disappeared on Thursday, December 17, 1878 Aft r one sale had been made ii the gold room at par partly for no'onety, partly for a joke t was quickly followed by other sales at the same rate, vigorovn cheering greeting each announcement. Resumption had actually commenced, and a fortnight ahead of tbe legal date there'or. The b'ghest premium on gold was reachi d the llth of July. 18&1, when It touched 2S5. It is a curious circum stance that the record book, on which tbe account of sales are kept, had si neatly run .out that all Tuesday's transections were re corded by the clerk on the last page 01 the last leaf. Resort ption came just in time to tave opening a new record book. Secretary Sheraaan. who is of course delighted with the fuccee of his scheme of resumption, does not anticipate a reappearance of the gold premium. Some enthusiastic financiers go farther and express the opinion that tbe demand fori gal fenders will in create until they sell in New York et a small premium in coin. It will seem a little odd to read the quotation "Greenbacks 102." It is a curious fact that the especial champions of greenbacks, tbe greenback party, are the least pressed of all with tbe enhancement to par off their pet currency. . But resumption has yet shoals and quicksands to pass. Fair weather, a smootn sea, aud experienced pilots, and all will be well. But of theaa we are not always sure. Tna South CenMcrratlve.
