CHRISTMAS The near approach of this
festive season is foreshadowed by the activity
of the merchants who deal in holiday goods,
some of whom are already busily engaged in
arranging their wares attractively, in order
to catch the eye of the passing customer
In addition to this method of advertising,
the more judicious unes will employ the COL
umns OF the SPIRIT for the purpose of in
forming the public of the Inducements they
offer. 1t is often very difficult matter for
the purchaser OF Christmas presents, for 10
stance, to make up his mind what he wants,
among the multiplicity OF tempting objects
arranged on shelves aud COUNTERS; but tell
him what sou have through the columns OF
the newspaper, and he will often make his
selection before he visits your store and thus
will be enabled to make his purchase with
satisfaction to himself aud with great saw
ing of time aud trouble to the salesman

An Important Precedent.

Ex-Vice President Colfax reviews the
history of precedent which is of inter-
est and Importance in its application to
the question of eligibility now so much
discussed. 1t is the well known case of
John Young Brown, nominated for
congress when still under 25 years of age,
but who was elected with the UNDER
standing that he should not he sworn
in till he had passed the age required
by the constitution. The house was so
closely balanced that the struggle over
the speakership lasted two months. 1t
was not until several months had passed,
however, that Brown became of the re-
quired age and took the oath. His seat
was not contested, although he was not
eligible when elected, and although the
control of the house was hinged upon
one vote, no objection was raised to his
acting after his disability had been re-
moved. This disability, to use Colfax's
own words, was removed by time or act
of party; to himself this precedent at
least seems to fit the case of the Yer
mont and Oregon postmasters.

The Situation in Louisiana,

The Democrats of Louisiana now ad-
NIT that their opponents have strong
cases in several bulldozed parishes,
and there can be no doubt that they
have given up all hopes of breaking
down the evidence of witnesses, who
are to be called to testify for the Re-
publicans. The country has heard a
great deal during the past month of the
outrages on colored voters in the South.
But nothing SO terrible as a number of
aflidavits to be presented to the return
ing board has yet been published.
Many of the witnesses who were sum-
moned here by the United States Com
missioner, state that after they have
given their evidence they will not be
able to return to their homes, for they
know that they would be killed if they
did so. Because of these fears and of the
Democrats in the interior, it is very
difficult to get some Of the most impor-
tant witnesses to come here. Some
days ago the commissioner summoned
these men from Richland parish to tes-
tify as to intimidation in their districts.
They replied that they were not permit
ted to leave home. To-day file of
United States soldiers were sent to their
homes to give them safe conduct to
New Orleans.
