THE Louisiana delegation have issued an
address to the people Of the country, on
thu subject of the disturbance in their
Stat c, and will also petition Congress for
lief after the holidays. The document
is almost as formida BILE one as the Presl-
de It's Message, and yet We perceive that
the Associated Press found no difficulty IN
transmitting it over the wires as piece OF
general news. Strange that such difference
there should be 'twixt tweedledum and
tweededee.

How simple, how appropriate, how
grand was the mission Of Christ! His
whole life was lesson of commandment
to the rich to give to the poor. "Inasmuch
as We did it unto the least ofone Of these, "
was the divine precept he taught. Shall
Christmas be observed, and not the spirit
of Christ's teachings?

OUT of the fast-locked doors which
enclose the proceedings before the COM
mittee investigating the Credit Mobilier
affair, there is beginning to leak some
thing which may perhaps be near the
truth of the story. 1t is reported that MIR.
Ames has made a statement in which he
details all his operations with the stock
how it was offered to certain members of
Congress, some of whom took it at the
price demanded and others refused it; how
some of those who accepted it returned it
to him afterwards, and others still hold it
and have received dividends upon it. His
defence is that the transactions were per-
fectly fair and honest in the way of BUSH
ness, and that Congressman had as much
right as any other class to take the invest
ment. The question will probably turn
upon whether or not those having the
stock can be held guilty of permitting their
interests in it to influence their course in
legislation regarding the Pacific Railroad,
and for this result we shall have to await
the report of the committee, which will
not be made until after the holidays.

THERE is an anti-egg-nog campaign
gong on in Baltimore. Egg-nog is the
bane of the Baltimore holidays. Egg-nog
is free drink from Christmas to New
Years day, both inclusive, in Baltimore.
Breakfast is made on egg-nog and it lasts
until supper time. The City Temperance
Society have moved in the matter, and Sc
ries Of meetings are being held to counter
act the egg-nogiy of the holidays.

A NOTICEABLE feature of the foreign ex-
port trade of the year 1872 is that the
shipment of corn has prevailed largely
over that of previous years, especially at
the ports Of New York and Boston, fully
equal in money value to the shipment OF
wheat from San francisco 10 Europe, thus
showing that the inherent value OF the
cereal il becoming moro appreciated BY
