HENRY L. ELLswoRTHs WILL -7he Provisions for his Wiaow.-The Cleveland Herald, commenting on the provisions of Mr. Ellsworths will, by which his wife gets an annuity of $500 year, says:
 "We were on the point of expressing our indignation at man who, with nearly mill ion, could cut his wife of with the sum of if teen hundred year. But in the case above, we are told the widow had been the wife but Q short time-being the third or fourth wife of the late MT. Ellsworth-and that the $500, under all the circumstances, is liberal aid just. But this case, which will no doubt attract much attention, is just as we'll as any other cn which to base few remarks upon the shame fully sighted rights of married women. The selfishness which accumulated wealth begets is often displayed by the wilp that leaves cer- tain annuity to wife so long as she remains my widow'-as if the testator was fearful his relic would elope as soon as her mourning weeds were shed-or by wiP that gives a fixed annual sum to the widow, as if she need- ed guardian, and was not to be trusted with funds, and so must have her salary measured out year by year."

the fundamental ideas of the Republicans for Its basis, Cor rather, may say, the Repnbli- can party is already such party,) and assert policy looking to, and aiding the revival of the industrial interests of the country by le- glslation, and it must make war upon the lav- l ish expenditure and wanton extravaganza of the present and past Administrations, and il.- sist upon retrenchmeut of tie expenses of the Government, and reform in it's admins traitor. The principles of the Republican party are immaculate, and all that is wanting is a national policy to correspond The times ana the circumstances of the country, are pro- pitlous for the inauguration of such policy, and the.way is as plain as Q turnpike. There IS work to do and the Opposition is the on y power to do it. Corruption must be rebu- ked and stayed, extravaganza must be arrest. ed, the industrial interests of the country must be aided by legislation, economy of admins tration must be introduced.
 Whatever may be pretended to the contra ry, the party in power is mainly responsible for the late extraordinary increase of the na- tional expenditures, and it should be held ac- conntable therefor. It positively refuses in theory and practice, to recognize the claims of the industrial interests of the country to aid or protection by legislation, and the ob- Jects aimed at cannot therefore be reached by any possible method except by ejecting that party from power. Let these views be thor oughly expounded and made plain over the country, aud be backed by the we'll understood principles of the Republican party on the slavery question, and an opposition can be compacted amrly sufficient to take control of the government at the next Presidential cleo tion.
 Congress is likely to pass the French Spoliation bill, it having gone through the Senate. The House is deemed to be largely iu it's favor and as no money is required, but only government stock bearing per cent n- terest, payable at pleasure, to carry out it's stipulations, Mir. Buchanan need not veto it on the ground of want of money. The prospect of this long-standing claim at last taking the form of law was never better than now.
 It is by no means so certain, as is some times alleged, that the bill penssniog the SOL diers of the War of 1872 will not pass the Senate Senators feel chagrined and disgust cd with the precipitate action of the House, and are inclined to shun the responsibility which tue House shirked and threw upon their shoulders. Tue case is not an agreeable cue to dwell on. J.sP.

The great difficulty in the way of good farming is too much land. Farmers are so hurried in the getting in, and in the harvest ing of their crops, that they really have no time to devote to the improvement of the soil. Let any one visit some of the ten acre farms in the neighborhood of Cincinnati, and the truth will soon become apparent, that more profit can be made from ten acres, properly titled and manured, than can be realized from one hundred acres run over in the usual negli- gent manner. The occupants of these ten acre farms are growing richer every year, while many who occupy large farms bare ly "hold" their own.

A NEGRO CHRISTMAS IN THE OLD DOWN | IONA six hours ride from Washington
 brought us to the mountain range of Western Virginia.
 It is Christmas day, and the darkeys are en. toying it to their hearts content. This is the
 first of their annual holidays, and the Sabbath
 after New Years day will be their last, until another year shall dawn upon these dominions.
 They are allowed to go where they choose, and do pretty mnch as they please, during the con- tinuance of the holidays, and their owners or
 employers have to manage the best way they can during this time. It subjects the people to much inconvenience many times to be de-
 prived of their help, but there is no alternative, for the darkeys all seem to know their Holiday rights, and knowing, dare maintain them. On this day (Christmas) much of the hiring is done among those who have slaves to let | and those who want to hire It is worthy of
 remark that but few slaves, comparatively, are
 bought and sold in this part of Virginia
 More are hsred-a business which occurs usu-
 ally but once year. Public notice is made
 in the papers that on Christmas day, at certain
 parts of the State, slaves will be offered for Asre, whereat those in want assemble and make the best bargain they can with the owners for
 such help. It is quite q novelty to see, on Christmas
 day, here in Virginia, the darkey dressed La
 famey, and going from place to place, either
 mounted upon their masters horses, in wagons, or on foot, A low bow, with the request that
 you will not forget their Christmas gift, inya
 riably accompanies, and is heard from any and all of them who ever saw you before and VIC
 be to the fellow-traveller who is unwilling to
 recognize this their inalie. able right. It may be proper to remark here that the usual saln.
 tatlon at the North of i" Merry Christmas, :" is
 little heard in Virginia, but in it's stead Christmas Gift" is substituted, so that the | hrst person speaking demands the forfeit.
 Most of the oeddings, too, among the dar-
 keys, occur during the holidays at this season of the year Neu London Ssar, Dec. 2l.

Gov. Allston, of South Carolina. thus dis. misses in his message, the various Abolition resolutions sent to him from New England States :--
 Herewith transmit resolutions from the Legislatures of certain States of the Confede- racy. Those from New York and New Jer. sey relate to the Light House Board, and to certain provisions for the relief of persons and property shipwrecked on the coast those from Texas expressing sentiments of common inter. est to our citizens, will command your atten- tion those from New England denounce, as usual, our system of domestic slavery, togeth- CT with the late decision of the United States Supreme Court. This species of agitation, sectional and dsorganizing, proceeds from persons who seem to be incapable of enter taining just sentiments towards their neigh bors, the people of the Southern States.
 "True liberty consists in the will and the power to perform our tuty to God and to our neighbor. His service is only perfect free dom. The members of 8 Legislature who can thus resolve, desecrate the name of freedom and pervert it's meaning. By harboring such feeling toward their neighbors who sanction and cherish African slavery as a domestic in. stitution, inherited from their fathers, they ex. pose themselves to the imputation of being faithless to the Constitution from the pream- be of which they quote. The Resolutions do not merit response on your part"

Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, at the close of his excellent lecture on Public Opinion, {" remarked that he believed the public senti- ment of civilized and Christian society is truer and purer to-day than it ever was before, The forces of evil may seem to be strong as ever, but the forces of good are stronger than ever and the scale is gradually turning in fa- vor of truth and right. The labor of the past has not been lost the labor of to-day is not in vain. No holy word, no righteous oct can ever die. Strike the chords of influence with manly hand !! Their vibration will ring on forever. Be hopeful. We are moving on toward high noon hardly ont of the twilight yet, it may be but thank God, it is the twi. light of the morning and not of the evening, and the hour hand on the great dial plate ot time never goes back. Slowly and silently. except when it strikes at long intervals the progressive epochs of the world, it advances toward the meridian.
