The Latest Phase of naturalization.

From the n. Y. Evening Post, (Rep.)
That was very clever and stunning hit
which Mr.. Schurz gave the administration
politicians when, in his able speech on
Louisiana in the United States senate, he
said - cannot forget that, as to the dis
charge of laborers from employment for
political cause, most seductive and de-
moralizing example is set by the highest
authority in the land.
Mr.. Schurz was speaking of colored men
being discharged by Democratic employers
for voting the Republican ticket. He said
frankly that this practice undoubtedly ex-
listed in the Southern states to some ex-
tent, But he reminded the senate that
the Democrats were not the only persons
who 'intimidated" voters in this way
lie mentioned u case which occurred un
der his own eyes in North Carolina, in
1872, where colored man was cruelty
dubbed because he had taken sides with
the Democrats. The inference was obvi-
Gus that so far as this particular kind OF
Intimidation is concerned, and so far as
opportunity offers. neither the Southern
Democrats nor the Southern Republicans
are free from offence, The politician of
each class uses all the power he possesses
to control votes. And why not, when
"a most seductive and demoraliZing exam
pie is set by the highest authority in the
land 2" Pursuing the same thought, Il
have always condemned, says Mr.Schurz,
every species of intimidation interfering
with the freedom of political action, and
therefore am for genuine civil service
reform. But while your national govern
ment he was speaking especially to the
administration senators) is the champion
intimidator in the land, yous must not be
surprised if partisans on all sides profit
from its teachings; nor do | think that
the intimidation which deters a colored
man from voting with the opposition is
less detestable or less harmful to him than
that which threatens him as a Republican.
Mr.. Schurz's singing words will un-
doubtedly make smart in the White
House. The president will discern in them
new evidence that generally the support
which the civil service reform receives is
from those who give it their support only
to find fault when the rules are apparently

CLAyMoNT, DEL, Dec. 81.
The celebration of Christmas by the Sunday
School OF the Church of the Ascension at Clay
mont, last evening, was an event which will be
long remembered by the children and all others
participating. Never before was the church 80
handsomely decorated with evergreens and floral
devices in which the best artistic art was display
cd.
The audience and children first met in the
main audience chamber OF the church, where
they were entertained by some delightful music
from the school, led by Prof. ]. M. Clemmer, and
pithy eloquent addresses by Rev. q. A. Latmer
add the Rector, Rev. Mr.. Hotchliin.
After the closing of these exercises, the chill
dren were marched down to the basement room,
to which place the audience followed, and where
such scene of beauty and splendor WAS opened
up to them that all for some time stood gazing
with silent bewildermeni. There stood a
hugo Christmas tree, its strong, branching arms
loaded with bags, boxes, and bundles of confec-
tioaary, and from which brightly shone scores of
taper lights. There was long table fairly groan-
ing beneath all kinds of cakes and candies.
Every post and pillar WAS entwined with flags
and wreaths, and every countenance wore cheer
ful smiles.
Superintendent Lloyd, with his attendants,
then made the packages fly in all directions until
every little appetite was satisfied and every little
pocket full. After this WAS over, the parents of
the children and neighbors and friends present
were handsomely treated to pound cakes, and
after spending the evening in this manner un-
til between 8 and 10 O'clock all retir, d to their
homes only to think of the past one OF the
most pleasant episodes of their lives

Considerable discussion took place upon the
question of summer trip, and to what place 1t
should be taken. Mr.. Malone suggested a visit
to the proposed Ocean City, on.the shore of Wor-
cester county, the President maintained the
idea Of visiting Philadelphia, and the likeli-
hood that the Centennial officials would
receive and entertain, at that time any vis-
ting delegation of respectable newspaper men,
and to show them the progress of the Centennial
building &c. Mr.. W. +. Townsend urged the I'M
portance of Lewes AZ the natural outlet for the
products of the Peninsula, and the desirability
of making a trip to New York city on the line of
steamers running thither from Lewes. After
interesting discussion, without any detin-
ite conclusion being reached, the subject was
laid on the table.

that Senator Bayard assures the latter
that II feel an unusual interest in your

reformers are revivalists of the know

avenge their political jealousies and disap-

The DEATH Of Mr.. Uri Carruth, o,
Monday last, after having been shot i,
March by c. K. Lands, for publishing ar
ticles derogatory to him, rekindles the in
terest felt in this remarkable case. Unde
the laws of the State Of New Jersey Mr.
Landis can be tried for murder, and will b.
as he has been delivered over to the au
thorities by his bondsmen. This is anothe,
instance of hasty impulses in handling
fire arms, and should teach the lesson that
when most excited is the time to be most
cool and temperate in action. What is
culpable upon the part of an editor and
damaging to the character of another, can
not be redressed by the taking of a life.
1t rather hastens than retards the conyic.
tions Of the public, that he who is the most
violent is the most guilty. The taking Of
tSarruth's life has not avenged single
';vpsng done his slayer, it has not exhonor-
ated him from a single reflection cast upon
his character; it has wiped away no stain,
and brought no happiness with the quick
resentment, but dimmed family with life
long misery and may perhaps consign a
rash impeteous man to the gallows with the
indellible stain Of murder charged to his
