Celebrating the Eighth Of January.


Says the n. Y. Sun The Eighth of
January appears to have been fixed mp
on by spontaneous agreement through
out the country as the day for holding
public meetings to protest against
changing the result of the Presidential
election by force and fraud and making
a man President against whom the ma
jority of the people and of the States
have voted. This is perfectly proper
movement, aud the day chosen is ex-
ceedingly suitable for such purpose.
The Eighth of January is memorable
in our history as the anniversary of the
battle of New Orleans. That battle
was the turning point of the last strug
gle between the United States and
England. Its result did much, very
much, to establish the A american people
as nation in the world; and its glory
is lnseparably connected with the name
of Andrew jackson, great man and
one of our great Presidents, destined to
a long renown not only as a military
hero and an original and courageous
statesman, but as a champion of the
people and their successful defender
against the encrOachments of a great
moneyed power.
The liberties of the people are now
threatened by most formidable con.
spiracy. A combination of ofTlceholders,
supported by the most powerful politi~
cal party known in our history, are en-
gagged in falsifying the votes cast at a
national elec..ion, and taking, through
fraud and violence, from man whom
the people have elected, the Office of
President, and giving it to another man
whom the people have rejected. This
constitutes more dangerous attack up
on our country and its democratic in
stitutions than the attack Of Great
Britain that was foiled at New Orleans
sixty two ago. Let us hope that the
popular protest which will be uttered
Oh the Eighth of January next will be
as e6icacious in driving back the public
enemy as were the deadly riaes of our
sharpshooters and the martial genius OF
Jackson at New Orleans.

Washington Letter,


Washington. d, c., Dec. 26th, 1870.
MR.. EDITOR :-Christmas is, indeed,
a right merry time in Washington.
Something unusually jolly has been ap-

meet on the street for several days past,
ard Saturday the sidewalks were

packages and bundles of every descrip-

greens go whsking by and yesterday,
though it was Sunday, many were seen
hurrying along the streets with arms
full of packages and even Christmas
trees were in several houses in process
of preparation. The weather is, aud
has been for O week or more, colder
than has been known here for years,
and, although there is really not snow
enough for sleighing, still, as the
ground is partially covered, quite a
number of sleighs are out odd looking
affairs enough, to Northerners, and any

the year of deep snow-some are Of

baskets or enlarged willow rock-a- -byes
on runners, while others are scarcely
more than a wide board with a rude
seat titled atop. The snow is appreci-
sted and, certainly, made the most of
here.
Congress, contrary to custom and all
precedent has decided to take no ex.
tended holiday recess but OILY to ad-
journ for two days at Christmas and
two at New Years. This is not on &C.
count of any particular press of busi-
ness or for the accomplishment of any
special work (fOr it is tacitly understood
that they shall meet from day to day
only to adjourn during the holidays)

all their marches and maneuvres they
found no Indian force that would stand
to fight, though the Indians, in small
squads, kept flying about them,in front,
and on the rear and Hanks, watching
all their movements and communicating
with the main bodies of the Indians,
who were thus enabled TO successfully
carry out their policy Of avoidance. The
military operations against the Sioux
this year have not been as successful as
the operations Of the Peace Commits
sion. Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and
their parties, are as free now as they
were year ago, though the campaign
has been quite destructive of human
life, aud its crowning event, the Custer
massacre, will long be remembered.

According TO the intelligence re-
ceived from the far West, the offensive
winter campaign against the Sioux has
probably been abandoned. This cam
psign was planned by Generals Sheri,
den and Crook last autumn, and was
personally conducted by the latter
officer, A strong expedition was fitted
out at Fort Fetterman, so strong, in
fact, that Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse,
and the other hostiles, could not hope
t. defeat it, so they adopted their usual
tactics in such emergencies, OF getting
out OF the way. The expedilion seems
to have marched about the Black Hills
country until all its supplies were ex.
hausted, and then concluded to return
to Fort Fetterman. This determine

pedition, was arrived at last week, and

Says the Philadelphia Times !:
Within the last few days, positive Re-
publican expressions are to be met with
on every hand denouncing any attempt
to force Hayes into the Presidency in
accordance with the Administration
plan. The most significant declaration
is that of Chief Justice Waite, whose
opinions are not concealed on the issue,
although he has expressed them with
the prudence that becomes his position.
He is the personal and political friend
aud neighbor of Gov, Hayes, and all
his sympathies are naturally with the
Republican candidate but he has de-
clared that the result must depend up
on the facts in the disputed States, and
that the present aspect of the contro-
versy points very strongly to the cleo
ton and proper Inauguration of Tilden.
1t is now well understood in political
circles here that the Supreme Court
cannot be trusted to declare Hayes
elected, strongly Republican as it is,
and this development has done much
to demoralize the already weak Morton
Sherman leadership.

The U. S. Senate has been regard
ed as the more permanent legislative
body Of the government and as little
liable to the changes that occur through
popular excitement, but this has not
been the case recently, according to
statement made on the floor of the Sem
ate last week. In the course of an im>
pressive eulOgy on Senator Caperton of
West Virginia, who died last summer,
Senator Edmunds, on Thursday, stated
that the Senate has now only three
members who held their seats during
the administration of President Lincoln,
and only eleven who participated in the
Impeachment trial of Andrew johnson
in 1868. The three Senators whose
terms of service date back to the ii me
OF President Lincoln are Mr.. Anthony,
who took his seat in 1859; Mr.. Sher-
man, whose first term began 1861; and
Mr. Howe, whose membership also
dates back to 1861. Mr.. Cameron was

he resigned in 1861 to take the office o
Secretary of War, and did not return
to his seat until 1867. Mr.. Hamlin

coins administration, presided over tn
body in virtue of his ofice as Vice
President of the United States.
