Sabbath School Festival.

The Congregational Sabbath School
Festival at the Rink last night was q
very pleasant affair, and our young
friends seemed to enter heartily into
the spirit of the occasion. The Rink
was lighted up and tastefully decorat-
ed, and when we were there, was very
we'll filed with children intent on
games and amusement. Various tables
furnished refreshments to the little
folks, and many articles were also
sold to them, the funds being devoted
to the uses Of the the school. Near
the entrance Of the Rink was a table
covered with beautiful boquets of
natural flowers gathered from the gar
dens of the city. Our Eastern friends
who are holding Christmas festivals
amid the ice and snow may have bet
ter skating but they can't come in on
the flowers. Miss Porter and Miss
Clapp presided over the boquet table
and doubtless were rewarded for their
trouble with large sales. Mrs. Otis,
Mrs. Mappa and Mrs. Tabor supplied
refreshments In the shape of lemon
ade, cakes, etc. Mrs. Childs furni shed
fragrant coffee, while Mrs. Haskell
and Mrs. Bent presided over table
where various fancy articles were dis
posed Of for the benefit of the Sabbath
School treasury.

Murders by Telegraph.

Our dispatches this morning give
little more than a chapter of murders,
fights, and squabbles, interesting may
be to some folks, but not SO important
in our eyes, as news from the senate
rial contest at Sacramento, details of
which we find it almost impossible to
get.
Now, our readers may be anxious to
learn that some woman in Oregon has
roasted her baby, or that a pair of
roughs in some mining camp have
shot or stabbed each other, but gen.
orally speaking, they are willing to
wait for the particulars Of such events
to arrive by mail, and prefer that the
telegraph should give us news of
greater moment.

WASHI NCTON.
WASHINGTON. Dec,

WASHINGTON, Dec. Il.
1t has been known for some days
that the Spanish Government has fur
nished evidence with regard to the
Virginius and her claim to the right
to bear the flag of the United States,
and that the President had submitted
the evidence to the Attorney-General
for his opinion. 1t seems now to be
understood, in official circles, that the
Attorney General has given his opin-
ion that the vessel had forfeited the
right to bear the flag of the United
States, and at the time of her capture
was carrying it without right and i'm
properly. In view aof this opinion
our Government will, in accordance
with the terms of the protocol, in
stitute an inquiry and adopt pro-
ceedings against the Virginius,
and against any persons who may
appear to have been guilty of illegali-
ties in connection Herewith. AS Spain
has reason to expect satisfaction from
the United States, in that the Virgini-
us was, at the time of her capture, car
rying the United States flag without
right, the salute on the 25th December
will be dispensed with as now not ne
cessarily requirable; but the United
States Government will expect dis
claimer of intent to offer indignity to
its flag in the act which was commit
ted.
From proof submitted by Spain it
appears the clearance papers of the
Virginius were obtained by perjury.
A majority of the Senate are not in
favor of the total repeal of the Bank
ruptcy Act, but of amending it in such
particulars as will guard debtor from
exactions of a small minority of his
creditors, leaving the question Of in
voluntary bankruptcy to be deter
mined by those largely interested.
