We have passed another Christmas since
our last issue. To some it has been season
Oignyety, and to others time of sorrow. So
far as we arc aware, the people of our town
generally spent it as time of rest from care
and toll aud trial. There was no considerable
indulgence, SO far as we are capable of judg-
ing, in those excuses common to this season
\ pretty general sobriety marked the conduct
OF orr populations so that there was a. per-
cept;Ile contrast Between the Christmas just
passed and the ono which preceded it. May
the next witness still more decided improve

.rauoLp AVID TEE NEW.

This morning VIC mike our appearance on
the first day Of TIE New Year, 1867. The
tide of time, ever rcsistless, has rolled ancth-
CIR year into eternity, and as VIC look back
upon its cvcutful and chcckered scencs. we
recall much that is calculated to chastcn and
humble us as people and as Individuals
The march of time, steady and onward, re-
spects not the aged or the young, but hears
all along in its ccaselcss revolution, aud du-
ring the past year has carried down to the
grave, many who twelve months ago, were
buoyant aud hopeful. and glad as we are now.
These are solemn admonitions given, that we
may use the time left to us to the best advan-
ageand not specially FOR tie accomplishment
of selfish ends. Shall they thus be regarded
aud appreciated by US
In entering unon the New Year, may VIC
not reasonably determine that it shall be
spent, if we are spared through it, with moro
prolific ourselves and those around us, than
the one which has just passed, never again 10
return. And if in the execution of such a
determination, VIC are successful, the light
which ushers in the year 1868. will bring to
us'more of happiness and real comfort, than
we arc permitted to experience this morning,
and we shall be better prepared for the battle
of life in which VIC are engaged
TO all our readers, we give the greetings
of the season, and wish them. q smooth and
happy voyage over the rough and uney en-
tide of time.

WHAT WILL JUDGE HALL Dop

1t is conceded now, on all hands, that the
Supreme Court has decided the test oath,
created by Congress for the purpose of ex-
Guiding Southern lawyers from practicing in
the federal courts, to be unconstitutional, and
that Judge Grier is engaged in writing out
its opinion. The opinion, we presume, will
be read Immediately upon the re>assembling
OF the Court I9sis decision wilfappiy to'tIfe:
test oath required by West Virginia legisla-
ton. Even if there should be anything in
the State constitution favoring the test oath,
it will have to give way to the superior fed
cral provisions, as pronounced by the Su>
preme Court. Some persons are inclined to
doubt the course Judge Hall will take
seeming to think that he will disregard the
authority of the higher court Bitter radical
as Judge Hall is, and however much he may
be inclined to carry out the wishes of bis
party leaders, he Will not, in our opinion, con-
tinuc to turn deaf car to this decision, but
will at once admit our excluded lawyers to
the bar of his circuit courts. If he contin-
ucd to exclude them on account of this State
test oath, in the teeth of the decision of the
higher court, he would lay Himself open to
charges OF corrupt couduct which he would
never be able to wipe out. No judge would
risk the consequences of dsobcdicnce to the
controlling judicial authority of the country,
and We therefore think we are SAT. i'm assu
ring our lawyers that the bar will again be
opened to them, and in congratulating those
who have business in the courts, that they
will be entitled TO have some others. than the
batch of nrisass.he boobies who now compose
the minority Of Tie Jefferson practitioners, TO
aid them in their troubles of litigation.

AFTER TIM Ho11DAYs

When the congressional holidays are over,
VIC presume Stevens, Sumner & Co. will kin
die fercer fires under the Radical pot, and
set it to boiling harder than ever before
The promised programme is rich. We are to
have impeachment of the President, impeach-
ment of four or five judges of the Supreme
Court, and, just as likely, of everybody else
that is honest and upright enough to hold the
Constitution as more sacred than party plat
forms, and as more sensible than the rawlings
of Wendell Phillips We are to have per-
formed the wonderful process of the conver-
sion Of number of old States into territories
-ameng thcnnethe" good old Commonwealth
of Virginia, who is "the mother OF States''-
and !, Maryland too, is to be pitched but with
old Virginia and the other States that tried
to secede. In short the mind of man can
conceive of nothing that these Radical fell
lows will fail 10 do, or to attempt, that will
benefit them in their headlong tilt against the
Constitution, the Union, and the white people
who live in it. And after Congress shall
have done all these foolish things, the Su-
prcnIe Court will step in the way of their sue
cessful accomplishment, and hold the Con-
stitution in their faces and the President will
tell them that the judgments of that Court
shall be carried into full effect, even if the
whole army and navy shall be required for
the purpose aud SO the Radicals will have 10
back down.. or be whipped down, and the
country will get along as we'll as it can with
out Southern hrainsin the capitol

Negroes Sold,

On Saturday week, four negroes. two men
and two women, were sold MS slaves for one
year, before the Court House, at Annapolis.
Md, having been convicted Of larceny. One
OF these. an old negro named John johnson,
bid Tor himself, and was Knocked down to
himself at S37. Another man was bought
for his brother for s35; and one woman for
$50, and another girl Tor S25, aud another
girl for S21. They were sold by ord.r Of
Judge Magruder. These negroes are of tile
worst class of blacks, aud were all anxious to
be sold, preferring rather to buy themselves

penitentiary.

U. s. Commissioner Brooks. on the oatI, Of
Captain Van Derlif, against the Sheriff for
selling the above mentioned negroes
Judge Aagruder has been indicted by
the grand jury Of the United Statcs Court

tusing negro testimony, aud pleads "guilty'
to the Charge, wishing to push them before
the Supreme Court.
