On Tuesday morning, before day, bold at
tempt was made to rob the Catholic Church
of st. Vincent de Paul, in Baltimore. The
burglars filled the key hole of the door of the
safe in which, was handsome silver service,
&C., with powder, and attempted to blow it
open. The explosion was loud, and the rob
bers, alarmed, ran off, having only obtained 6
few dollars in money.

ALEXANDRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2.

The colored Presbyterian church on Fiji
teenth street, in Washington, was crowded las,
evening to celebrate the anniversary Of the
Emancipation proclamation The services were
commenced with prayer, and addresses were
made by Senator Pomeroy, "Prof. Wilson,
cashier of the Freedmen Saving Fund, !" Gen.
O., 0, Howard, and Gen. Butler. Senator
Pomeroy urged the colored race to- diligently
guard their rights, act as heretofore, ard the
country would have no cause to complain OF
the use they made Of that sacred right, the
ballot" Gen. Howard s'urged the colored
people to stand by the truth and disseminate
it; to rely upon the mighty arm of God and
cling close to morality; by doing this the on
ward march of their progress would never be
stopped, and equal rights deep and firmly root
ed in the hearts Of all Gen. Butler was
highly laudatory of the black man. "We are
told" said he, shat there is going to be a war
In South Carolina; that the negroes are going
to rise. Why they are on the top now =
Laughter Superior in numbers and intelli-
gence, and equal in right, they are on the right
of God, and God is on the side Of the right. -
But he must have thrown damper over those
who wanted action, not aoordS, by adding as fol-
lows Il doubt whether confscation would be
desirable. 1t does not seem to be good thing
to give away land; thing that does not cost
anything is generally vaueless. If the United
States Government were to-day to commence
con6scation it would undoubtedly lead to mis-
chief, and to the detriment of the great West. !"
Yesterday, the first of the New Year, was
the day Of receptions in Washington. The
Presidents reception was carried out with all
the formalities peculiar to such occasions at
the Executive Mansion Most Of the "digni-
taries, foreign and domestic, ministers, judges,
senators, representatives, army and navy Off
GERS, and great crowd of citizens, plain pri-
Yates, called to pay their respects to the Chief
Magistrate, and were kindly and courteously
received. It is stated that few, il auy, coIored
people were seen. The members Of the Cabi-
net, including Gen. Grant, many senators and
representatives, and many private citizens, had
receptions at their residences. which were nu-
merou.ly attended

Wendell PhillipsOn Radical Leaders


Wendell Phillips is pained-and everyone
knows that he is happiest when in the greatest
agony-at the general imbecility OF the Repub-
licans, and at the manifest fate which threatens
the party. The Republican ship, he says, is
drifting before the wind, without cargo or des-
tination, only waiting for the storm to clear to
discover what flag it is safest to run up
Dropping metaphor, he represents the party as
anxiously questioning how it can secure most
cheaply the strength necessary in order to keep
hold Of Office, and as ready to serve under any
flag for the sake Of victory. This is very
plain picture of the party, but it is not more
outspoken than some Of Mr.. Phillips cpl
grsmmatic portraits Of leading Radicals. lFes,
| sender, Trumbull, Weed and Sherman ,.re
Jumped as "mild types of apprehension. -
| Grant is 'soldier who has no ideas. " ST.
ward is "the misery capitalist who cursed tn c
Government he swindled" Everybody h.
mentions is something bad, except Wilson, and
perhaps Yates, either Of whom he is willing to
see Vice President if Fred. Douglass won't
run. But Grant is the great monster; a trick
ster, an idiot, tool in the hands of those
worthless Republican Senators, it we may be-
| lieye Wendell. In short, the only instruction
one can draw from Mr.. Phillips latest effusion
is, that the Republican party is great deal
meaner, Wendell Phillips a great deal more
dyspeptic, Grant great deal more perplexing
to the Radicals and a Democratic President a
great deal more probable, than has heretofore
| been supposed Boston Post

How IT LooKs-We are just upon the eve
of 1868, and two years and nine months have
passed since the war ended. In all this time
the Radicals have been in power. In all this
time their policy has prevailed North, South,
East, West, everywhere. They have expended
hundreds of millions yearly, and taxed the PEG
pie $500,000,000 to raise the money. They
have governed the South by military dictators
and treedmen's bureaus. They have, by their
policy, deprecated )ands prevented the cult
walton of crops, broken down manufactures,
prohibited immigration, created debt, and re-
tarded all forms Of labor, contentment, and
prosperity And now, in the closing hours of
the year, we put, even to the candid men of
the dominant party in Congress- the question
which we also put to the public: "What
good has been done to the white race, to the
black race, to the country at large, or to any
State in the country?" The wretchedness
which this day pervades nearly the whole
section of the southern country is evidence of
the failure of your POLICY. It is written every
where sometimes in letters of blood, some
times as by fire and sword-that you have
nearly ruined the land. Nearly three years of
suspension from hostiities, and yet there is no
peace Trade languishes, taxes increase, the
cost and burdens of State weigh heavier than
ever, and yet these incapables still demand
prolonged power, and are now adding new bur-
dens to the South in order to maintain it
Every hour, in the light of such a policy, the
duty of conservative men becomes more plain.

VIRGINIA. The Richmond Wing, referring
to the reports about anticipated troubles In the
South side counties, says
1T is true that about Christmas it was re-
ported that trouble was apprehendcd in Hall
fax, and as prccaution, troops were quietly
sent there to prevent disturbance. In the
other counties named all has been and still re-
mains quiet, and what is more, troops can be
forwarded to them by rail in time to prevent
any serious collision between the negroes and
whites. We know, however, that the negroes
in that section had been led by Radical ennis
saries to expect the division of the land of their
former masters among them at an earlier day
than Christmas. When Gov. Pierpoint spoke
at Whitesvlle III Halifax, we were there to
report him, and the immense throrg otnegroes
present, who were anything but pleased with
his anti confiscation views, on seeing that we
were taking notes, concluded shat we were
the man who had come to take 'em down .
meaning the registering officer, who was daily
expected Alter the speaking they came to
