HISTORIC CHRISTN IS.

Somewhere IN England there is 4 single leaf
of volume of Christmas Carols, precious
scrap printed by Wynkyn de Worde, and all
that is left in the world of the whole edition.
This seems a bit of antiquity, bnt it is of yes
terday compared with Christmas itself, which
had been merrily kept by all Christian peoples
for fifteen centuries before the old printer of
Lorraine brought over his presses and his
punches TO London. About three centuries
after this, William Wordsworth was writing to
Christopher Wordsworth in college that charm
ing Christmas piece in which the poet told the
parson how "The Ministries play'd their Christ
"mas tunes That night beneath his cottage
"eyesn In our own day and generation
we have had q special literature of Christmas,
and the names of IryinS of Thackeray and of
Dickens are intimately associated with the fes-
tiyal. Wherever Christian people go, 1t goes
with them, and n huge chain of plum buildings
will girdle the globe tonight. With us 1t has
won it's way. Millions will keep = it whose
ancestors regarded it. IA aSrag of the Scarlet
Woman. On the 22d day of December, 1857,
by an order of CrOmwells council, Christmas
was abolished. 1t had been changed officially
into a fast, thirteen years before. There was
an old Cavalier joke tUdJ Ino nov hi' V'OiS
preached against minced pies the same day
that he did eat two of them for his
dinner. Plum porridge was also inter
dIcted, and fat pig and goose and
Drawn were forbidden meats. The loud voice
Of the clerk after service no longer declared
his wishes for "a Merry Christmas and Happy
4" New Year, Yet the glad day came back
with the Stuarts, about the best thing which
they brought with them, and whatever the
changes of dynasty it has never gone away
again. With us il has so advanced in the
popular affection that there is not left so much
as trace of the old religious feeling of dis

be act up in many Presbyterian vestry-room,
and Christmas carols be chanted there. We
suppose they must be sung now even in Scot
land, in defiance of the shade of John Knox.

there will be all over the world We wonder
if the Calabrian MINISTRIES still come into Rome
during the last days of Advent, most frequently
stopping TO sing at the shops of the carpen-
tiers. We will not quarrel with what the over
precise might call superstition. 'Tis day to
make us all catholic in the non-confessional
sense of the word. Who ever wrote finer

the American people have ceased to care much
forathe success of the organizations with whicn
they have been accustomed to vote ana are
unite ready to desert any party wfnch en-
dangers our institutions for the sake OF fac-
tion victory. The world will watch the course
of Congress with no little interest to discover
which of the politicians at Washington are
shrewd enough to understand the popular
temper, and to avoid the common blunder OF
o,,orrooc ching themselves.

II makes considerable difference whose tele-
grams they happen to be. The Congressional
Committee now sitting in this city resolved 10
await the action of the House before passing
mon q Republican resolution calling for the
kilograms of the whole Tilden Bureau from
stem to stern. The House has taken ground
which, in consistency, leaves to the Democratic
members of the committee no other course
than TO pass the resolution demanded, but
they have nevertheless displayed marked
reluctance to see their own logic cut the other
way. On Saturday, Mr. Waddell attempted 10
Law all such resolutions on the table, on the
ground that the House had not expressly
authorized the committee to SEND Ior
papers, but when reminded that the COM
mittee was exercising the concurrent rght 10
send for persons, also without express au-
tboritv, he retired in good order. Another
interesting point in the Geographic controversy
was brought out the other day IN baltlhoie'
where an order was granted for the production
of telegrams in court The dispatches had been
exchanged between the parties TO the suit, ana
therefore could be properly called for by either
side. foundation had doubtless been clearly
laid for considering them valuable evidence ny
nroviug the existence of the dispatches, ana a
reasonable probability that they would furnish
evidence on the matter in hand, without when
the ends of justice might be defeated lhiS Is
the only tenable ground Oh winch correspond
ence, either by mail or wire, can be surren-
dered, and all demands beyond these bounds
are mere usurpation.

Saturday conclusively shows. The charge was
incredible, because it presuppOsed conspiracy
of hundreds of pOst-Office officials, distributed
not only over this city-fOr here Mr. Hewitts
letters were sent to four different addresses
but all over the country, to put themselves IN
danger of State Prison to win some vague ad-
vantage for the Republican party. 1t was
painfully unjust, because it laid hard-work-
ing, poorly paid class of public servants under
undeserved suspicion. We are glad to have
heard about the last of it.

Mr.. William f. Chandler is a gentleman for whom
good many have not been in the habit
of expressing the highest admiration, but he
has recently done something of which, if the
published accounts of the affair are correct he
deserves everybody's praise. He has caused the ar
rest of "a newspaper editor in Florida a charge
of grossly lbelIng Mrs. Chandler in the course Of
political discussion. II il not easy to fancy what
kind of q man he can be who gratifes partisan
animosities by assaling the private character of q
lady, and we are not surprised to be told that the
editor meets with no sympathy even from his party
friends If the ofense be proved he will doubtless
meet with a severe and richly deserved punish
ment, which will serve for some time as a warning
to the scurilous. 1t would be well II some OF the
numerous politicians who have been wounded
during this campaign by attacks, not upon their
wives characters but upon their own, would do a.

Belgium will probably decline to send troops
TO Bulgaria. Having enjoyed peace since she
became kingdom, she cannot wisely depart
from the neutral policy to which she owes that
blessing. Although Russia joined in the in

she has done so as much to disarm suspicion
as to promote peace.

which had first called his attention to The con-

that was destroyed and there were en-
veIopes seeming to show marks Of tam

Two noticeable letters in other columns this
morning continue the discussion about Prince
ton College. DR.. Ward clearly sustains the
positions, he has assumed, and the tenn
Der in which he replies to his assalants is
as excellent as his logic. On the other
hand, one of the trustees puts in wcll-con-
sidered protest against some OF the more
severe criticisms in which Others OF our cor
respondents have indalged. We incline to
think, with him, that the i'll feeling stirred up
by the refusal to tolerate secret societies at
Princeton has much to DO with the present
outburst.
