CHRISTMAS.

We question whether there has been
fad finer Christmas day or a happier
Christmas in Lancaster for years, than
the last The sky was almost as blue
as Summer, the wind was almost
balmy, and everybody rejoiced. We
heard Of very little carousing and
drinking, and think the Temperance
movement may be doing good already.
Hope We may all have q great many
such happy returns Of Christmas.

The Difference Between Dayton and
Lancaster.
The following we clip from the Day
ton Journal:
In the Superior Court of Montgom-
cry County the following cases were
disposed Ofrecently, viz:
\ No. 2,O7b-w. F.&J. p Comfy against the City OF
Dayton; Damages claimed slo'sTS. Action COM
No. a,ose-Gbraham Debold against the City of
Dayton. Damages $1,000. Commenced January
2Stk, 1865. NJ .
No. s,Oss-Henry Yost against .he city Of Dayton.
Damsges $500. Commenced January 3lst, 1865,
These actions were brought TO re-
cover for property destroyed by the
Copperhead mob, which set fire to the
Journal Office, on the night Of May 9th,
1863. The petition set forth the facts,
to which demurrer was interposed.
1t was argued at the OctobeNterm by
Hon. T. J s. Smith for the plaintiff,
and by VIM. Craighead, Esq, late So
licitor on behalf Of the City. Hon. D.
A. Haynes, Judge of the Superior Court,
decided in favor of the city on the
ground that there was no liability in
the absence OF statute, and thcreup-
on judgment was rendered in favor Of
the city for costs. "
Our readers will remember that on
Saturday, January Both, 1864, several
soldiers entered the Eagle office and
threw a box into the street containing
some accounts and papers. The Ed
itor of the Eagle brought claim a.
gainst the city for s4OO damages, 5000
of which was for notes. The City
Council allowed him damages to the a.
mount of 1862, which the tax payers
of the city have paid into his pocket.
In the city Of Dayton the property
was actually destroyed by mob, but
the Superior Court decides that in the
absence of a statute, the city is not
liable. % a'
If some taxpayer of the city would
bring an action against the members
of the City Council who voted in favor
of the payment ofthe Eagle claim, We
should like to have the question tested
in our Court,

The Mineral Resources of Ncyada.--
Addresses Of Senators Stewart and

Prof. Sillman has, after careful per-
sonal observation, declared his deliber-
ate opinion that in Nevada there is more
of the precious metals, gold and silver,
than has been drawn from all the mines
of California and several of the princi-
pie ore yielding countries of the world.
An interesting meeting was held at
Cooper Institute, New York, on Tues
day evening of this week, at which adj
dresses were made upon the subject of
the @Mineral wealth of the Pacific
States" by Hon. WA. II. Stewart and
Hon. James w. Nye, United States
Senators from Nevada. 80 III
Mr.. Stewart viewed the minerals of
the Pacific slope notmerely in the light
of individual money making enterprise,
but as of National importance. NV
In order to Equidate the nation
debt, the question arises where we ca.
obtain. the necessary mineral wealth.
with the least labor. fit will cost less
labor to produce gold, then we should
prosecute mining interests. III it costs
less labor to produce merchandise, with
which to pay the debt, then we should
pursue. the latter end. 81
In 1850 there were 1880. 600, 600 OF
gold in circulation In the civilized
world. The discovery of gold in Cali
lfornia, followed by, similar discoveries
| in Australia and other countries, in
1850, marked new era in civilization.
The animal production of gold in the
world since that time has been $500, 900,
900, making total of $3,000,000, 900.
Eighteen hundred millions of dollars,
remain in the countries in which the
ore has been obtained, ; doubling the
amount in circulation In 1860. The
probable increase in the production OF
mineral wealth, shows that in 1880 the
amount of goidin the civilized world
will reach STA, 900, 100000. The aggre-
gate of gold in this country in 1850 was
500, 200, 900; the production between
1850 and 1850 was, 5000, 900 600 maxi
ing an aggregate of 81 600, 600, 000.'-
The mineral wealth of the Pacific
States, which abounds in gold and sill
yer, srrpasses al other discoveries here.
Itofore made by men, the. developement
Iof which will render our national debt,
nov blTdepsome,s less than a feathers
fweight onTthe shoulders of the giant.
He sketched the progress of Nevada
from a barren waste to a prosperous
State, under the impulse given to emil
grafton by the discovery OF its mines.
under which towns and well built cities
have sprung into existence.

Report about John Surratt-He is said to
Have Been Tracked 70 a Canadian

mundstcEys
twsshinglon Correspondence Philadelphia Inquirer
We learn that John Surratt left Wash
hngton the morning after the murder,
at 6:15 A. NJ, going via Philadelphia
and New York to Springfield, Mass. 4,
where he was delayed by trains missing
connection, and remained all day. He
then took the cars and went direct to
Burlington, where, in getting his sup
per, he dropped his handkerchief with
his name marked upon it. At st. AL
bans, he left the train and proceeded
on foot to Canada, where he went part
way by rail and part on foot, to Montre-
al, where he was secreted by some of
the sympathizers, and on, the morning
of the Goth he had am interview with
George N. Sanders He then left and
went in the direction Of a monastery.
He was known to be in that vicinity
that day, and cannot since be found or
heard of. It is probable that he is
within their walls. Sanders has taken
TO hard drinking, and was the next day
in perfect state Of, inebriation, which
condition he was still in at last accounts.
