A CHRISTMAS SALUTATIoN.-The
Tribune congratulates the civilized
world on Christmas morning in the
following strain
''In our land we have peace, if not
altogether rest. The war is over,
and we have our Christmas dinners
without dreading Chickamauga or
fredericksburg. Upon last Christ
mas day, we thanked the Lord that
tho valor of our soldiers had destroy
ed rebellion. To-day, VIC thank
Him that the virtue of our people
has destroyed an Administration
which attempted to surrender the re
suits Of that valor to the spirit Of
slavery. We have escaped from perils
Us vast as those which ovcrshudowe,t
the nation when Davis ruled in Rich
mond. These perils have been avert
ed, and Mr.. Johnson is as helpless to-
day as james the Second when Viii
liam rested his sword on the rocks of
Torquay. We can think of nothing
more comforting for q Christmas
morning meditation than this great
political triumph, especially as it
brings hopo to millions to whom
hope has been denied for many gene
ratons. Let us be rcsolute to do
Justice to the. race which war has
made free, and which only asks op-
portunity. What is peace to us
without good will to our brothers?
and what right have we to come into
Gods presence and rejoic> over bis
many blessings, while millions of
others, degraded and oppressed by
our crimes, are under a grievous
yoke? For while rcsigning the pro-
tection-the barracoon and barn
yard protection OF slavery-whieh
meant at least raiment and shelter,
and much rcvelry on Christmas, they
are prevented from protecting them
selves, from going unrestraincd to
their destiny. We thanked God that
he had given us strength to accom-
plish emancipation upon last Christ
mas day. Let us SO act that we may
thank Him upon the next time that
we have accomplished justice.
Fortunately, however, the Admins
tration is not yet destroyed; and
James the Second was as much like
President Johnson as Horace Greeley
is like William of Orange. The Devil
can quote Scripture to answer his
purpose, and the Il1b,me dares to
pray for the accomplishment of that
justice of which it has always been
the consistent opponent.

THE WH1RL1GIG oE EVENTS. The
Fredericksburg Ne'rs, after mention
ing the paying off, (Sl1, ,000,) Satur-
day, of the burial corps who have
been for some time operating in that

''The field on this side of Marye's
Heights, Oh which was grown the
corn our charity sent to starving Ire
land, in 1877, has yielded rich har-
vest in the Irish invaders slain, whose
dead bodies covered its fair surface

A TIMELY WARN1No. Even the
New York TriJunc, with all its inor-
dinate love for radicalism, cannot
help the incidental acknowledgement
that the present Congress, with its
overwhelming radical majority, has
proved a failure. In commencing
the Chicago Republican, the Tribune
uses the following language: cat the
moment when the Industrial interests
of the country are imperilled by reck-
less legislation OF the want OF legis-
lation, we count it," &c. The 1ri-
bauae is evidently dissatisfied with
Congress; while it would have that
body love the negro none the less, it
would have it love the dollar more.
The friends Of the Tribune in Con-
gress should take warning. They
may be pushing stheir reckless legis-
lation in favor of the negro little
too far, and be wanting in the amount
of legislation required to put the
"dollars and dimes in the pockets
of their constituents.

How LIME CHANGES MEMS PR1SC1-
Piles. In the pr oceedings of the So
called United States Senate Yesterday,
We find the following:
"Mr. Henderson read n despatch
from Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, say
ing that Grant had sent troops to
that State, and asking the design.
He said he know nothing Of the mat
ter. He supposed they were sent to
enforce the laws Of the State, but he
understood that the Executive felt
himself perfectly able to do so. The
people OF the State would take upon
themselves to 90 it, without the in
terference of the General Govern
ment
''Mr. Davis, of kentucky, thought
the President Of the United States
had an undeniable constitutional
right to place troops where he
pleased. Were the times so out of
Joint, 80 frenzied, as to deny such an
unquestionable proposition?"
In 1861, Claiborne +. Jackson was
Governor of Missouri. He could not
see why United States troops should
be sent into the State, which had not
seeded and did not propose to. The
party to which Gov. Fletcher be-
longcd then called him q traitor, and
acted upon that idea by driving him
out Of Missouri. Now Gov. Fletcher
himself has just as strong scruplcs
against Federal troops being en-
ployed in his jurisdiction as Jackson
had; in fact, is using the same argu-
ments and is applying to Congress
foc relief. He has become great
State rights man, and is extreme in
resisting Federal power. The radi-
Gals have no principle, really, in the
matter, except to see that whatever
OK is gorcd, it is not theirs.

to the Senate, and with it his decline.

politics-hls eclipse, rather While in
the House. he had things pretty
much his own way He is not so
much of Il giant among pigmies as Il
crafty politician and experienced
legislator among men who are easily
led and not given to serious thinking
us to consequences. He is not SO
much leader as q driver, perhaps.
But his chief of staff is the previous
question, aud in body like the Sc
nate, where that is not recognized, he
will have to take a comparatively
back seat. He can't crack his whip
over Fossendcn and Sherman and
such men, anG tell them they must
vote for his bill or with the copper
heads. within an hour or two hours,
or within two wecks-for they can
talk till doomsday i'll the Senate, and
no previous question can be brought
IN to molest them or to make them
afraid. Without this legislative
thumb-scrcw, Thad. Stevens would
have been, us the saying is. nowhere,
as the leader or driver, within the
past few years. Then, again, he
must abandon his smutty jokes in
the Senate, and thus be no longer
known in his favorite role of Master
of the Rebels. Taking all things into
consideration, it will be a bad day for
his fame as a politician when he
abandons the beer garden in the
South wing for the sepuichral cham
bers at the other end Of tho capitol

THE BEAUTIFUL SNow.-A disgust
ed Southerner, in Canada, writes the
following ode to the snow and frost of
that country:
Oh the frost, the freezing frost,
biting our nose as we go; all sense Of
feeling is utterly lost, and our zest
for the beautiful snow. The North
ern king a tribute has wrung, in tho
shape of pearly tear, which mo-
ment ago like dewdrop hung, from
the point often graced with a sneer.
Oh :! the frost, the delectable frost
that finds us wherever we so, wrapped
in its fearsome shroud like a ghost,
and conveying to our meridian blood
thorough disgust for those .senti-
mental donkeys who hypocritically
prate of the beautiful snow.

FoESEY's VIEWS OF SOUTHERN Hos
P1rALIrY TO RADICAL CoNGREss1EN.
The Washington Chroaic!e Of yes
terday has the following:
We understand that great prepar-
ations have been made by the people
of the late rebel States for capturing
the Congressional excursion party
which left here last week on the tour
to New Orleans. They want to de
monstrate to the Radical Senators
and Representatives that if they are
wanting IN patriotism and common
sense, they possess more than their
share Of Christian hospitality. Re
mcmbering that in the halcyon days
of the slave oigarclly some OF the
stubborn Northern Wings were made
as mellow as the most plastic Demo
crat by good dinner and plenty of
wine, they intend to try Che same
operation upon the fierce radicals.
We are afraid they will find that a
''mess Of pottage" has less purchas-
ing power now than it had in former
days.

"FIEws OF THE PRESIDENT. y
Under the above head, the New York
Times and other papers publish q
Washington letter, written to the
Plttsburg Conmerciol, Of considerable
length, dated December %, purport-
ing to give q detailed account Of an
interview had on that day bet reen
Representative Eggleston, of Ohio,
and the President, in which the latter
is represented as having changed his
opinion in regard TO the proposed
amendment to the Constitution; as
having expressed surprise that SO
few members of Congress had called
upon since the meeting of the pre-
sent session., and represented him
as saying many other very absurd
things. The writer of the letter as
serts that the interview lasted ''more
than an hour"
Now, the reader can Judge of the
reliability of the author Of the letter
referred to, when we assert, upon the
highest authority, that Mr.. Eggleston
was not with the President on the oc-
casion referred to more than five mi
nutes, and that none of the questions
referred to were discussed; and fur
thermore, that the President did not
express any opinion or "surprise'

DEPRESSION.
The National f. 'Igencer says:

The National r. "igencer says:
Very great dis> action prevails
in the North and west in regard to
the condition of business and of the
currency. The Western papers seem
to unite in q demand for an increase
of currency, and their Representa-
tives in Congress are not Slow to
second them. Business is paralyzed,
and the prospects for the future are
not bright. The main cause OF de-
preston is the dislocated state of the
Union and the uncertain political
condition of the aple-producing
States of the South. The people of
those States, whose territory en-
braces 100000 square miles, and
whose capacity for production is un-
limited, were heretofore m lch relied
upon, as aff,ording 4 profitable market
for the grain growing. and provision
producing States of the North west
and the manufactures Of the Eastern
States. But the consumption of the
South declines with its powers of
production.
Another cause OF the prostration of
business is the heavy rate OF taxa
ton, which increases the cost of labor
and material to such an extent as to
consume all the profits OF many
branches of industry. The laborer
is not benefited by high prices, for
the cost of his living is increased to a
still greater extent than his wages.
Thus, the manufacturers represent
that besides the five per cent. on
their amount of production and their
income tax, they pay. much more in
the enhanced cost Of labor. They
make out that their aggregate bur
den Of taxation is forty or fifty per
cent.
Another cause of the trouble is the
inflated currency, the depreciation of
which is not to be measured by its
relation to gold, but to the price of
commodities generally. The pur-
chasing power of the currency is not
greater now than it was when, in the
crisis Of the war, gold was over 200.
Prices now tend downward, because
the people will not or cannot pay the
cost of commodities. The holders of
goods and merchandise must either
all sell below cost, or they must hold
on and suspend production and i'm
portation until their stocks Shall be
taken up.
The holders of goods and grain and
provisions, and railroad shares,
bonds, &C., desire large increase OF
currency to enable them to hold on
for improved prices. Spectators,
monopolists and jobbers desire the
same.
The general body of consumers
can find no advantage in such an in
crease. To them it will be accompa-
MED with no corresponding benefit,
nor in the end will il be of any adj
vantage to producers. The cost of
production will be increased, and
they must soon cry out for more cur
rency and higher protective tariff.
The two great remedies that have
occurred to Congress for the evils of
the day are: first, to set aside the
State Governments OF the ten South
ern States as illegal and unconstitu-
tlonal, thus rendering d!sunion COM
plete; and, second, TO issue one or
two hundred millions more of cur
rency, either in legal tenders or ma
tional bank notes. Both measures
are admirably adapted to an aggrava-
ton of the evils under which the
country labors.
