This season Of joy and festivity is at
hand, and we ever hail its coming with
delight. 1t is the season, first Of all, for
devout thankfulness, for the advent into
the world Of Him by whom the world is to
be saved. Itlis the season Of family re-
unions, kindly sympathies. joyful congrat-
ulatioas, good cheer, and the unrestrained
exercise of the hearts best affections.
To-day, the bountiful board will be spread
with every luxury of the season, and gra-
eed with that crowning dish of eyery
christmas feast, Turkey. Speaking of
Turkeys, reminds us that they were not
always the favorites of the festive board
they now are. When Asiatic luxury had
spread over the Roman Empire, sumptu-
business, delicacy and profusion, were car
ried to the greatest excess; but however
sumptuous the feast, it was considered
greatly deficient without that most yalued
Of all dishes, a Peacock. They became SO
much IN fashion that they were thought
indispensable to every entertainment.
Hence, Cicero, in one of his letters tells
Petus that he had been so bold as to give
an entertainment to Hirtius, without a
Peacock. This was considered so great a
breach Of hospitality and so wanting in
respect for his guest, that he could not
allow the circumstance to pass without
notice or apology. 1t would be almost as
much out of order, now, in this country.
to give Christmas dinner without Tur-
Key as it formerly was to give a Roman
entertainment without Peacock. Ou;n-
tus Horatius taught the Romans to eat
Peaeocks; who taught the Yankees to
cat Turkeycocks?
Roast beef and plum pudding is the
great national dish in England, but it was
not always SO. In the ruder DAYS of our
British ancestors, no feast was complete
unless graced with the Head Of the Wild
Boar, garnished with Pheasants, Rabbits.
or other game, washed down with mug
Of h0me-brewed ale. Champagne is a
modern innovation. of French invention
upon this old-fashioned beverage of the
britons. But. we are growing discursive
and getting entirely away from our sub
Ject, to which we return only to close, BY

wishing our readers ''merry Christmas"
ana many returns of the time-honored
festival.

Our Smyrna neighbor (likc the VII
m'mgton Commercial, } is growing hyper
critical. At our mention of his town as
of the feminine gender, he says. 80 it
seems that Smyrna is she town" Is it
unusual to speak of towns, states and ter
ritories, as feminine? If you will reflect
little, neighbor, you will perceive that
custom is against you. We could give
you numberless instances of this pratice,
but few will suffice Babylon, the
"great mistress of harlots." "Edom, her
kings and princes" Egypt and all her
multitude" "Belginm's capital had gath
cred then her beauty and her chivalry" !"
Are you not satisfied, neighbor, that
Smyrna Is a she town."

CoNaREss.-This body has adjourned
to the 10th of january.
Georgia is to be reconstructed again,
not having ratified the fifteenth amend
ment. Morton's bill passed the House on
Tuesday, as it came from the Senate.
Tennessee and Virginia, also, are not yet
quite satisfactory to the most " advanced"
Radicals, and may both be remanded
again to their worse than territorial con-
ditions.
Major Biggs, Representative from this
State, uttered spirited and manly pro-
test against the Georgia iniquity, while
the debate was in progress in the House.
In the Senate, Hon. Thomas +. Bay
ard opposed and denounced the measure
in brief, but able and decided speech.
We copy from the telegraphic reports to
the Associated Press:
Mr. Bayard said the only law that controlled
reconstruction had been the will of the dominant
party in Congress. II required the adoption of
the Fifteenth Amendment by Georgia to-day,
and next week or next month it might require
something else. On the 25th of June, 1868,
Congress had passed bill declaring that Georgia
had complied with all the reconstruction acts and
was entitled to representation in Congress, and
now, after so many months, Georgia is not yet
in, and new conditions of admission are to be
prescribed.
1t is absurd to suppose that other States which
are opposed to this Fifteenth Amendment which
is now to be fastened upon them by the coercion
OF the Southern States, will not question it at
some future day. Ii they do not, all love of
freedom has died out in the breasts of the Amer
ican people. What good can accrue from enlarg-
ing the mass of ignorant, corruptible voters in
the United States is more than can see
These measures are assuming to Congress the
power to decide who shall be the electors of the
Legislatures in the different States This act is
unfair and unjust toward the people against
whom it is directed. 1t is undoing the work
which they have done at your behest. 1t tells
with equal injustice against the people of other
States. Ho believed that all these acts would
recoil upon the inventor; that sooner or later il
would be shown that they could not secure party
supremacy. They may pass their amendments,
but they can never reverse the laws of nature or
make the negro the equal of the white man.

pay her subscription for 1870, and to sub
scribe for one of the Magazines. After
paying her bill she said she took no less
than ten newspapers and periodicals that
her children were fond of reading, and she
wanted to encourage them, and that she
considered the money well spent. We
will venture to assert that that family

the youngest of them would be able to
