Christ mas In the City.

Christmas Day, so generally, and we hope
happily, enjoyed, not only brings the year
1869 to close in the way of church and
social festivals, but closes the decennial year
of it's Inauguration as the great festival which
celebrates the grandest and most sublime
epoch in the Christian world. II was most
appropriately observed yesterday in all the
churches of the city and at the festive boards
of our citizens. The asceticsms of the early
churches and professors of the Christian reli-
gion have passed away, and people now think
more OF the phrase--doubtful in its mean
ing az it may be-"Eat, drink and be
merry" than the injunction to put on sack
cloth and ashes as q penance. No doubt
all willingly accept the benefit Of the doubt.
and rather the injunction to 'Hive to enjoy
the goods the gods provide than speculate
upon any provisions they may have made
for the future. The 'watchmen on the tower
give US warning on every recurrence Of the
Sabbath Of the perils to us in the time to
come; and while their doctrines may be ortho-
dox enough, still we are not prone to see them
In that light while the other text is just to our
taste and fully lived up to. The churches
yesterday were well attended, and thence from
noon till eve the bounties which God pro-
vides were fully enjoyed. So may it ever
be. The discipline of the Church for the
soul never enjoins or suggests an injunction
against q corresponding enjoyment Of the
good things which support the body.

ELECTION CoRRUPTroNs IN FRANCE. From
the exposures Of frauds committed in this
country during the recent elections it might
appear to some that the United States Is espe-
cially favored in that respect. Fortunately
this is not the case, for the Paris journals are
rejoicing over two cases Of corruption that
were attempted during the late election for
members of the Corps Legislatif In one case
the bribe offered to voter reached the sum of
six thousand francs, and in the other-a five
franc piece and pair Of wooden shoes! From
the fact that both bribes were refused 1t would
appear that there was want OF tact on the
part of the canvassers, and 1t would not be
amlss for few Of the French political can
vassers TO study for term under some Of our
local professionals.

THE EGYPTIAN BUDGRT.-The London
Times asserts that the financial proceedin gs
of the Viceroy of Egypt are of an unsatis-
factory character. His Highness is about to
Issue large quantity Of Treasury bonds after
having contracted heavy foreign loans and
with his money commitments hawked about"
in the European markets by persons not at all
''solid" as to their power to deal with them.
His floating debt is set down at six millions Of
pounds sterling, sum which the Viceroy is
very anxious to raise 'to ten millions" The
''prodigal ceremonies OF the Suez Canal" and
desire ito fortify himself privately" against
eventuaIites from Turkey, are set down as
main causes OF the Viceregal embarrassments
and treasury policy. The Viceroy don't,
according to this exhibit, 'stand well" ON
Change or ''cut up" good in Threa dneedle

President Grnnt on tho Death of Edwin
vi. stanton.

In his announcement to the people of the
United States of the death of Edwin NJ. Stan
ton the President says, 'sHe was distinguished
in the councils of the nation during the entire
period of its recent struggle for national exist
ence; first, as Attorney General then as Sec
retary of War. He was unceasing in his
labors, earnest and fearless in the assumption
Of responsibilities necessary to his countrys
success, respected by all good men and feared
by wrong doers" This brief statement covers
the salient points of the character and services
Of the great War Minister. ''Unceasing in his
labors" Yes he worked night and day for
months and for years, we may say, without re-
Taxation, and his planfn everything he had to do
was s'short, sharp and decisive" ''Fearless in
the assumption of responsibilities. This was
the distinguishing point Of his character. The
war with him was struggle of life and death.
He was working in house on fire, and intent
only upon putting it ont he had no time for
ceremony, or for apologies, or explanations to
out or shut them up, for he was terribly in
earnest. Respected by all good men, The
President means in this, no doubt, all men
unwarped by sectional or party dislik es or
personal grievances. Feared by wrong
doers." Yes, and cordially hated by them, too.
If it were not that General Grant is man
who rises above all merely personal considera-
tions in Judging of men in their public capacity
he could hardly have written the foregoing
unqualified endorsement of the public services
of Stanton, for Stanton was no respecter of
generals when falling backward, or when their
armies, to him, appeared to be doing nothing.

Material Prosr..s In Japan and Cs,ns.

Material Progrlss In Japan and China.
By mail from Yokohama, Shanghae and
Hong Kong we have newspaper illustration
of the material advance which is being made
in Japan and China, and generally in the Far
East, towards more intimate communication
with the European world, and general utili
zation OF the eIyilizing-there revivifying-
agencies 81 modern science. Japan ratified
the Austro-Hungarian treaty lately Concluded
with the Emperor Francis Joseph, the diplo-
matte representatives of his Apostolic Majesty
being received with imperial sclat by the
Mkado and despatched to Vienna laden with
valuable presents destined for the Emperor
and Empress. The statement of the Russian
march towards Japan, as we'll as the many
interests which induce the Gear to come still
nearer to the ancient empire, may ac-
count, to certain extent at least, for
the evident disposition which the Japanese
government thus shows to lean towards
the great military Powers of Europe. The
Church and State separation question was in
debate in Japan. while the matter of the
PuAOAOky Va tAc HOH-ASIdH races VI Asia was
being read in the lights Of the electric tele-
graph and newspaper press approximating
slowly but surely towards complete freedom
of expression. Cotton is cultivated attentively
in Central India, the certainty of future revo-
luton in the trade supply sources of this i'm
portant staple being rendered still more con-
vincing by the packing of every bale for
export. Central Asia was disturbed by the
Khirgis rebellion and the open exhibition of
the desire of the Russians for territorial
acquisition in that part of the world. The
situation of the British empire in Hindostan
was thus becoming more precarious daily.
Our readers WILL for many reasons, do well to
read this news from the Far East attentively,
as both its matter and point may soon be re-
quired for reference in the making of the
history of the day.

The Red River War-A Now Republic
Declared.

The Red River War-A Now Republic
Declared.
In our telegraphic columns will be found
very stirring news from the seat of war in
Rnsert's Land, or Red river territory. There
is a 'sPrince Rupert's" ring in the tele-
gram which gives an assurance that its
echoes will never die till the sought for
liberty Of the people of that region shall have
been achieved. Following up the sue
cesses-which we announced a few days
ago-the leading revolutionists have esab-
lished provisional republican government,
founded upon the immortal principles en-
bodied in our own Declaration of Independ-
ence, that ''all men are created free and
equal" In their instrument--the tex. of
which is given in the telegraphic dispatches
referred to-they also recite, as our fathers
did ''in their day." the grievances under
which they suffered, and which are briefly
summed up, as all such grievances must be, in
denunciation thereof, and setting forth as de-
duction the necessity of selfgovernment as the
right and perogative Of freemen. They, too,
have established a republican form of govern
ment, for the maintenance of which they pledge
''their lives, their fortunes and their sacred
honor" That pledge the men of Rupert's
Land will nobly preserve. Revolutions never
60 backward, especially on this Continent,
and more especially, again, where those
engaged in it are in the right and have estab-
lished their claim to belligerent rights. The
signers to this new declaration of independ-
ence-the chosen leaders in the revolution
are John Bruce, President, and Louis Rullie,
C0mmander-in-Ch Chief of the new republic.

They Manage These Things Better in
France.


France.
The brutality and indecency Of the ruffians
who disturbed the recent ball at the French
theatre, in Fourteenth street, have deservedly
met with universal reprobation. The press
has expressed the indignant surprise of the
public at scenes more disgustingly lewd and
violent than anything similar which ever pro-
voked the invectives Of ancient Greek and
Roman satirists The committee of arrange
ments, however, had taken all possible precau-
tions Except not giving the balD against the
outrages which they did their utmost to
check. Nearly all the members Of the
French colony in New York who hap
pened to be present in the earlier part
of the evening left as soon as they
saw the invasion of ''roughs" who afterwards
converted the ball into horrible orgy. None
of these ''roughs" were Frenchmen, and among
the ringleaders were several deputy sherifs
and city aldermen, with whom, as representa-
tives of the city government, the policemen
did not venture to interfere. 1t is Unnecessary
to repeat the details Of the night which these
''men Of the baser Sort and women equally
lost to shame made hideous But we must
protest against the misapprehension that such
vile conduct would be tolerated for moment
IN any masked ball in Paris. ''They manage
these things better in France" where, accord
ing to Mr.. Burkes famous phrase, 'vice
loses half its deformity by losing oil Its
grossness.' Some severe moralists may
contend that vice thus becomes more alluring
fless odious but even they could not recon-
mend in the interests of public morality,
repetition of the revolving revels of last
Wednesday night.

Our Turco.Esyptian Correspondence.

BY special correspondence from Con-
stantinople and Cairo we have the Interesting
exhibit of the condition Of affairs existing in
Turkey and Egypt on the 9Th of December,
which we publish to-day. One communication
supplies an important statement of the opinion
of the Greek Patriarch on the subject Of the
Ecumenicai Council in Rome, as given orally
by that venerable gentleman during personal
interview which he accorded to our representa-
tive. From this it will be seen on how many
and important points Of belief do the members
of the Eastern religious communities differ
from the Holy See, and of how little force are
the disciplinary orders Of the Papal Pontifcate
in that part Of the world. The Patriarch
is himself styled his Holiness, and,
five are to Judge from his simple style Of
living and freedom Of access to persons from
abroad and people Of every degree around
him, is much better entitled to such desgna-
ton than is the successor of Saint Peter, look
ing merely at the temporalities and sovereign
claims Of the Pope and acknowledging fully
the sudUiter IN mode Of Plus the Ninth Our
writer in Cairo describes additional scenes and
incidents which occurred during the Viceregal
fates at Ismailia, 80 that the budget is, as
usual, witty, entertaining and instructive.
