LEA letter from San Francisco, California,

9The Councils of Norfolk have recently
passed an ordinance that any person who shall
be found drunk in any of the streets, squares
lanes, alleys, courts, or public places within
said city, or shall upon conviction thereof be-
fore the Mayor or any of the Aldermen of said
city, be found guilty of any disorderly conduct
within the precints of said city, shall be fined
not over five nor under two dollars for each
offence. This is rather sharp on the bows
just about Christmas, when one feels more like
steaming up" than on other occasions

Wabash the Navy Yard there has not present
ed the busy aspect it formerly presented The
steamer Susquehanna, which was taken UP On
the dry dock for repairs, has been launched
again, and her machinery will be put on board
in few days. Her stores are ali ready for
shipment, and it is expected that she will sail
for the Mediterranean early in the month of
January
The revenue cutter Walker, Capt. B. F.
Sands has been hauled up On the dry dock for
repairs, which are now being made.
The revenue steamer Bib, Lieut.. III. l..
Stellwagen, is laid up for the winter, and will
undergo repairs early in the spring, and sent
eastward.
Quite large number Of hands are now at
work on the Wabash, finishing up the cabins,
&C. Her machinery will be put on board next
week

"KRIs KRINGLE." This is a horribly bar
barOus imitation Of German barbarism, into
which an English ear has led many of our
newspaper editors and writer's. ChriSt.kind-
hen, or Characterization, is the German prop
er for Christ chtid, or infant Christ. Many
Germans have corrupted it into Christ ktutie
particularly in Pennsylvania. This is bad
enough, but to corrupt it still more, and re-
move it utterly away from all semblance to the
original, is too bad &" KrsSs Krmgie," as a
name for the Babe of Bethlehem, is neither
English nor bad German, but mere jargon or
gibberish Of the vilest kind-and when the
facts are known, sounds like ribaldry.

PARDON OF WIN. III. MARrIN-As we stated
a few days ago, efforts have been making in
Baltimore to obtain from the President the
pardon Of VIM. II. Martin, convicted of pur.
Joining money which fell into his hands while
a clerk in the post Office of that city. At the
time OF ms conviction the jury recommended
him to the mercy of the Court, and several of
them then signed petition for his pardon.
Inc effect OF his imprisonment has been the
breaking down of his health. and a short time
since the District Attorney for the United
states and Judge Giles before whom he was
convicted, Joined in a memorial to President
Fierce, and the Baltimore American expects
that either to-day or tomorrow the unhappy

his Imprisonment has been unexceptionable.
andlhe still persists in his innocence of the
crime for which he was convicted as earnestly
as before his trial took place

Mr.. VALK.-We take the following from the
New York Tribune of yesterday:

To the EditOr ofthe ". Y. Tribune:
SIR; have perused in your paper of the
I'D inst, an attack on DR.. VIM. M Walk, NJ. C.
l AIN an old inhabitant of Flushing. I do not
belong To the American or Know Nothing
party, and never was at one of their meetings,
but am familiar with DR.. VS. political SEN
nments, and had repeated conversations with
him previous to his election He ALWAYS sus-
tanned the Kansas Nebraska bill, and opposed
the restoration of the Missouri Compromise;
and when solicited by numerous letters to take
ground against the former, as a means of ad-
vancing his prospects of success. he inva riably
refused. L, therefore, think that the lone
who voted for Walk" must be mistaken.
Yours, respectfully, NASSAU.

the Kansas issue, &C., they should waive

Once more at Seattle reader of the fam
Gus debate and incidental ballotings of yes-
terday, in the House, will perceive that all the
progress previously made in the matter of COM
pleting an organization, was then and there
abandoned, leaving the body once more COM
pletely at sea. At the adjournment they were
a. far of from an election as before the COM
mencement Of the series of explanatory
speeches on Monday of last week, which
brought them, apparently, to the threshold of
the conclusion of their late vexatious labors.
The withdrawal of the resolution of Mr..
Campbell, of Ohio, for the choice of tempo
rary presiding officer, is public misfortune;
as, had it triumphed, the authority of that
officer could, and would, certainly, have been
exerted to the end of greatly expediting the
solution Of their present difficulty, which is
bringing disgrace upon the character of our
government, to say nothing of the fact, tina
through it, the House is rapidly and deserved
ly falling into popular contempt.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. Campbell, in pur-
suance Of his well-known independence OF
character, and the intimation he gave the
House on Withdrawing his resolution, will
speedily again present it for the action of his
fellow members.
