The Difficulties near Lexington

ST LOUIS, December 2l.-A letter il
the Republican and an editorial in the
Evening Dispatch give statements in re
gard TO the affairs at Lexington. They
recount some twenty outrages said tC
have been committed by Col. Montgom
ery's militia, including the robbery Of
the United States Express Company, at.
tempted robbery of the Farmers Bank
wholesale arrests of citizens, and estab
fishing and maintaining reign of ter
Tor. The principal instigators of thu
troubles are said to be Dr. Cooley, Su
perviscr of Registration, and Sheriff
Adamson. .Is ttLtA1
Statements also say that since the
spring of 1868 there has been no armed
resistance or obstruction to the execu
ton of legal process, nor have the peo-
pie failed or refused to respond to the
summons of any civil officer.
A number of the leading citizens oil
St. Louis have sent to President John
son a statement of the condition OF
affairs in Missouri, going back TO last
year, and embracing recent events, with
the request that be lay it before Congress,
aud ask a committee 10 investigate mat
tiers in this State.
The United States Commissioner Of
this city issued warrants for the arrest OF
Colonel Montgomery, DR.. Coaley, ex
Sheriff Adams and four other men in
Lexington. The warrants we're issued
under the Civil Rights bill, and United
States Marshal Wallace has gone to Lex
ington to execute them. The parties
will be brought here for examination.
The Democrat this morning denounced
the destruction Of the Office Of the Ms
souri, Freedman, in Richmond, Ray
county. by the State militia.
II is stated that Gen. Grant ordered
troops into Missouri as a mere precau.
tionary measure in view Of the threatened
difficulties, as foreshadowed by the State
Executive. Gov. Fletcher telegraphed ia
Senator Henderson that Grant was send
ing United States soldiers into Missouri,
and this action alarmed Fletcher TO such
an extent as to call from him protect
Senators Henderson aud Brown had an
interview with the President on the sub
jcct, and the explanations Of Gen Grants
movements we're entirely satisfactory to
them.

Of his policy, was determined in the su.
perior Court Of this city today.
The parties 70 the suit are Alexander
Penn and ~ .chard H. McPell, assignees
Of Richard N. Snowden, plaintiff, and
the Mutual Life Insurance Company Of
New York, defendants. The case was
decided against the plaintiff, the court
deciding that the plaintiff had violated
stipulations in going South, and also by
entering the military service. I'D 'as,
The jury found verdict in favor OF
the company and against Snowden'
heirs, but the President Of the company,
Mr.. Weston, before leaving the Court
room, with great liberality, gave the
checks for $4,000 and paid all the costs
of the case. He said the amount in.

OLD cHR1srMAs.

Hallowed days--light-marks upon the
front of dark world-sunshine upon
the cliffs of life-bless us now and then.
They come without noise or confusion.
They beat no drums and blow no trum.
pets, out glide into times funeral process
sion as softly as doves glide into their
nests, or children are translated to the
realm of slumber. Thank heaven that
man has mined these nuggets of gold out
of the bleak hills Of existence, these
opals out Of the debris Of passions vol
canoes, these diamonds out of the ra-
vines grooved by the car of material
progression, and fixed them as orna-
ments ON the brow and bosom of Care.
We love them so much, for they announce
a pause in the clatter and din, the roar
and growl of life's machinery, and give
us time to breathe, to smile, to love, to
sing, to dance up and down the noun
tains, and gather flowers along
the sparkling streams of affection. Old
Christmas-the pet of the Christian
world, the brightest star in the constella-
ton of holidays, praised and sung in
liquid numbers, or hmping verses, or
oratory softly, sweetly eloquent, or rat
Ting rough and ready; or eulogized in
the light of woman's eyes; or the laugh
ter of children; or bathed in the flow
ing egg-nog, and carried upon the mus
tache of budding manhood; or welcomed
with the report of fire arms, the glee of
crackers and the shout of the weary
comes, fitting down upon the air line
that divides yesterday and tomorrow,
the past and the future-comes, arrayed
in vestures Of eternal snow, and orna-
mented with crystals that catch the light
of the sentinel stars and fash out upon
the midnight-comes, the joy of the joy
Gus, the light of the lightsome, the love,
the admiration, the glory of the
world. Hurrah and be glad, cv-
erybody. Lift up thy spirit thou
invalid of care, thou sad mourner
over the faded flowers Of hope Teach
the complaining soul to change its note
for one day at least, and break forth in
song and light laughter Look at the
children If you could lay their dear
little hearts open and read them, you
would discover that to which the hues of
the prism would be ugliness in compari
son. Initiate them, for they are living
CLEANS of heaven, and constitute our
only standard Of purity. Until we be-
come as one of them, we cannot enter
the kingdom of heaven. Then be child;
cast the stains caught in the deserts Of
Care from you, Open your bosoms and
allow the lights and memories of to-mor-
row to fall full and broad into them
Battle those aching orbs of yours in the
serene luster of eyes into whose bright
pupils no shadow of shadowy pilgrim
age has fallen. As the sun comes up on
the morrow, let the shadows that fly like
fugitives before it, bear with them the
fears, the blights and the cankers of
past year. Welcome, to the old day
and dear reader of the LEDGER, as you
awake in the morning, imagine us sha-
king your hand and saying from sin.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.

Female suffrage, recently the subject
of an interesting debate in the United
States Senate, is to be urged in Great
Britain. Two monster petitions are to
be presented to Parliament in favor OF
removing those restrictions which at
present debar women from voting for
members for that body. One of these
petitions is to be signed exclusively by
unmarried women and widows, qualified
to vote for members of Parliament in
all respects but that Of sex, and the other
by persons, of all sexes and classes, who
favor the extension of the suffrage to
women
