No Paper ON Monday,

As Monday is legal holiday, and for the pur-
pose OF giving all connected with The EvssIsG
STAR establishment an opportunity of partici-
pating in the festivities of Christmas, no paper
will be issued from this Office on Monday. OF
course it is difficult if not impossible to make up
for the omission of a single issue of live news
paper, but the deficiency thus caused is made
good, far 1t is possible to make it, by the ex-
traordinary quantity of interesting read ding mat
ter furnished in tO-day'seditiOn. In this respect
the readers Of no paper in tire world are SO well
served as those of The STAR

How many little children in Washington will
have to 90 without a Christmas present this
year because their parents have squandered the
money needed for that purpose at the swindIiny
lottery concern which has been in full blast op-
Iosite The STAR office for a week past? Hun

Tatronized it who can afford to lose their money
the effect would not be so bad in one sense.
though Of course the moral objection woald re-
main just the same; but a very large majority
Gifts customers are those who absolutely need
the money to buy bread or shoes and stockings
for their children. For nearly every dollar
spent there some little one must 20 hungry: and
vet, the public will be surprised to learn, no
way has been found by our authorities to close

have Cleared out the town we suppose some
means will be devised to make them stop their
unlawful traffic, just as people lock their stable
after the horse il stolen.

We imagine that the Hon. Reverdy johnson
one of the counsel for the kuklux prisoners nov
on trial at Columbia, South Carolina, will not
be Of much service to his clients, if he talks to
the jury as he is reported to have done on Sat
urday last in the trial of Robert HAYES Mitchell
who has been convicted of aiding in the murder
of 3 cOlOred man named Jim Williams. His
colleague, eS-Attorney General Stanbury. Ar
gued justification, and went so far as to saw that
If al had lived in Tarr county, / would have

the jury, composed in part of colored men. said.
II tell you, cOlOred men. that if You undertake
TO make one step beyond the white man your
doom il sealed" Mr.. johnson. who followed
for the defence, took different line of argu-
ment. He thanked God that slavery is ended
and trusted in heaven il would never again he
permitted anywhere in the civilized world. I'm
referring to the outrages proved on the trial. he
said ''he had listened with unmixed horror TO
tie outrages that had been proyed-they were
inhuman-not to be pslliated or excused. and
they show that the paIties engaged in them
were fends, insensible to the laws of God and
humanity Admitting the facts As proved ON
the trial, Mr.. johnson then went on to arpue
that no conspiracy had existed according to Law.
and that therefore his clients could not be hell
amerable. Those who engaged Mr.. johnson
evidently believed that he-wOuld sink the hon
est man and patriot in the pettifogger, but the
result showed that they were mistaken i'm their
estimate of his character.
