The great problem of Christmas, with all
who are not afflicted by the general malady OF
| chronic impecuniOusness, is what to buy for a
! Christmas present. The patron saint, KR Iss
KRINGLE, ST.. NICHOLAS, or by whatever other
name that most charming and amiable of all
the saints is known, must find Christmas the
most perplexing of all the festivals. We mean
no disrespect to the other saints who figure on
| the church calendar when we bestow upon
this one special commentator. But KRIss
KIISaLE or ST.. NICHOLAS is the only one of them
whose acquaintance we ever made, or who
ever visits the earth in tangible shape. Ger
tainly, If the other canOnized persons resemble
him i'll a bounteous, obliging disposition, we
should be very glad to be on intimate terms
with them all.
There are an immensely of stockings to be
hung up Sunday night, an illmitable forest of
Christmas trees to be planted, and innumera-
BILE millions of little children whose hearts
are bea ting wildly at this moment with con-
lectures Of KRIss KRINGLE's designs with re-
ference to those stockings and trees. We are
not more astonished ut the sublime unset
dshness and inexhaustble resources of KKIss,
than his extraordinary ability to surmount
hegreat difficulty of Christmas-,chnt to buy.
somehow or other, he generally does work
out that perplexing problem, and generally to
the satisfaction of all concerned. What Il
deal of time he must spend in studying the
shop windows and inspecting the bewildering
variety Of their attractions Sometimes, when
his funds are low, the good saint must be Il sad
rs we'll as a puzzled saint, yet he never APP
pears to us more amiable than just them
To see him trudging along, and trying to make
some little children happy, but without the
means to do it as he would wish, is a sight
that must enlist the sympathy Of all his
brother saints, and, no doubt, will induce
them all, one of these days. to open their
purse-strings, and make it even with those
little children. who seem to be somewhat neg
lected now.
After all, the best Chritmas gift is the love
and affection that prompt the outward tokens
and impart value to them, if they are ever
so cheap and commonplace. But it ought not
to be forgotten by those who have the means
to give, that there are many habitations in this
city in which no stockings can be hung up, no
Christmas trees planted, and whose inmates
would be only too happy to obtain the bare
means of life. There can be no difficulty in
solving the question-,ohat Christmas gift to
bestOw upon them.

When Senator SUMNER moved the Senate to

gard to the temper of the Southern States, and
the policy Of restoring them to the Union, he
expected TO receive the report OF CARL SCHURz

his views according TO order, and they were
precisely such as SUxxER wanted. Indeed he
knew what was In the report, for he had been
constantly communicating with ScHUkz. That
individual is German, with no acquaintance
with the Southern people He came, as they
supposed, Oh a spying expedition, and they
would have nothing to do with him. He went
back with quite as much information as he
had when he came, and no more. Yet that
fact did not, In the slightest degree, affect
inc character Of his report. He came here for
the purpose Of collecting evidence-if he

for violation of its laws, she has concluded to
permit them to use all lawful endeavors tc
make the rOlicy of the Government conform
to their ideas Of right. She declares her in
tention, in brief, to recognize mans right to
NEEDLE with politics, provided the man so
meddling does not neglect his domestic du-

TO give any man quarter on account of the
weakness of his sex. She frankly admits
however, that there always have been indivi-
duals of the masculine gender capable of un-
derstanding in some degree and discussing the
science of government; but, for the honor OF
the race, declines to recognize inbecility in a
profession demanding the highest order of in

Such magnanimous sentiments must be cor.

The North American Indians eeem 70 die
hard. Their character IL essentially unamia-
Bile. They have none of the finer feelings OF
our nature. There are thoee who are given to
exclatm, f" Lo! the poor Indian - The poor
indian Is great rascal, and as big humbug
as BARsrx. 1t il altogether nonsensiSal to
touch MP the American savage with the hues Of
sentiment and romance The colors viii not
stick. The paint Herewith he bedaubs his
own visage gives him a much more natrfal
and life like appearance. The red race has dis
appeared from this continent, not SO much on
account Of the wrongs and injustice Of the
white man, rs on account of their inordinate
laziness, their love of rum and their general
untractibleness and imperviousness to the in
fluencee Of civilization. They may be described
generally as a water proof race the gentle
droppings Of mercy, the fructifying showers Of
education, ana the refreshing waters Of springs
and wells, could never finds access to their arid
natures. Nothing that the white man brought
with him but whisky was ever absorbed by a
red.skin. - F-4 tks.- 4t}34 -"
The Incidence of the negro is nothing to that
OF the American savage. No earthly persua-
sion can induce him to work; no reasoning can
reconcile him to habits of industry; no force
can compel him to fulfil the great primal law,
I" BY the sweat of thy brow thou shalt earn
thy bread.' He would rather die than obey
that law, and therefore it is that he dies, and
deserves to die. "He that will not work
neither shall he eat,' and he that does not eat
must perish, of course. AS soon, therefore, rs
the Indian had exhausted such resources as
hunting, fishing and robbery supplied, he be-
gan, as the poets say, to fade away like cloud
toward the setting sun. We are very glad in
deed to see that cloud fade away-a cloud that
containt no beneficent principle, nothing but
wind and thunder, and even as 1t departs, drops
down angry lightnings upon the miserable
wayfarer on the plains.
The great highway to California ought no
longer to be rendered dangerous by the rem
nant of these American Ishmaelites We
cannot allow such "hell gate'' to interrupt
any longer that channel of migration to the Pa
citic slope. 1t may be to the credit of the In
dians that they die game, like buffaloes and
bears, but they must not be permitted in dying
to make game of white men. Their history
affords 4 useful lesson to all races. Industry
is the condition of existence on this earth.
There may be some portion of the universe
where people can live without other employ
ment than to smoke tobacco and drink rum,
but not Oh this planet.
