continued the whole week, though on We'd
nesday Spofords credentials were referred to
the Com mittee on Credentials, by q vote of 36
to SO, Davis, of Illinois, voting with the Dem
ocrats. 1t begins to be apparent that the
Republicans have determined not to do any
thing that will increase the Democratic
strength, and therefore the chances of the ad-
mission of Spotford and Eustis, of Louisiana,
and Butler, OF South Carolina, OF an early day
are very slim.
The Presidents message is a well-written,
temperate, and short document, devoted ex-
clusively to the questions for which the ext,a
session was called, namely, the appropriation
of funds for the army and navy departments
He also calls attention to the necessity OF
n liking some appropriation for the proper re-
presentation of the Up ed States ut the Paris
Exposition in May, 1873.
The President has sent the following nom-
nations to the Senate for Confirmation John

class Power. Since this ~ not in English
blood, then let us welcome trumpet call
like this in the Truth. If the press OF Eng.
land; if, more especially, a journal with
the Olympian power of the Times we're to
speak In this tone, there would be an
awakening in England that would recall
Cromwell's days-the proud days when an
Englishman reigned and Englishmen were
in arms and the voice of England was
menace and warning to tyranny throughout
the world, and statesmen did not rant about
prestige, and seriously propose to defend
a mighty empire by subsidized alliances
and an army recruited from the slums. We
welcome this manly spirit in our old mother
land, and we hope to see it become q
national spirit and England vindicate o
name which shopkeepers and parish beadles
and sentimental statesmen ore bringing into
grievous peril.

Stanley on the way Home.

Stanley telegraphs from Alden his arrival
there from Zanzibar and his departure for
Suez, 30 that he will be in England in a
very short time, where he will be lionized,
perhaps, more enthusiastically than he was
when he returned successful from the search
for Livingstone. since the solid results Of
his present triumph will overtop in enlight-
ened estimation the brillancy Of that first
happy stroke for fame. At Zanzibar he paid
his respects, in an interview with the Sui
tan, to the slave traders, who put some
difficulties in his way up the country, and
secured promises Of the suppression of the
traffic and the recall Of the offenders,
promises which, perhaps, may not be long
remembered by him who gave them. The
discharge Of his expedition and paying off
his men brought the explorer in Immediate
relation with the relatives Of all those who
perished by the way, whom he was happily
able to satisfy equally perhaps. with the
money due and with q history of the
eataStrophes

The Excise Treasurer Gone.

The readers of the HERALD will remem-
ber that we have frequently called attention
to the fact that the excise moneys were being
handled by the Board in loose and suspi-
cious manner. They placed large sums in
city bank to the individual credit Of their
Treasurer, without interest, and excused
this extraordin ary proceeding by stating
that the money had been received from
liquor dealers who had not yet OBJ
tanned icensess. conseque atty it did not
belong to the city. That this was an
illegal procedure the HERALD expressed a
decided opinion in the affirmative, md we
now find tho folly Of it in the fact
that there seems to be little doubt that
Owen Murphy, Commissioner and Treas
urer of the Excise Board, has abb
seconded witMfrom thirty-tive to forty thou
sand dollars Of the moneys intrusted to his
care and keeping SO strong is the evil
dence against the Excise Treasurer that the
police were notified last night, by general
alarm, and instructed to find and arrest
him. In this, we suppose, they will
be unsuccessful, for if Murphy has
run away with the public funds he
probably took every precaution to cover his
tracks arom the purszlit he must have known
would.ensue. 1t is o.be hoped, however,
that q persistent effort will be made to
overtake him. The fact that the Examiner
Of Accounts was. to overhaul the books OF
the Excise Board to-daysis supposed to have
furnished the motive for Murphy's sudden
departure. This. alleged defalcation by
member of the Excise Board adds
another reason to those already existing
for the recent action of Mayor Ely,
and shows how loosely these Commissioners
transacted theil- business When it be-
came known that the Excise Commissions
ers had the srun Of seventy-ive thousand
dollars deposi ted in the Germania Bank
in the name of their Treasurer the
HERALD was prompt to point out the
entire irregul lrity of that proceeding, the
fruits Of viii I'll are now apparent in the
strange abser.ce of the Excise Treasurer.
This disappe, france Of Owen Murphy brings
the whole Ex else question to APPOINT demand

strengthen layor Ely's hands in his praise

service ana unsuEIied national honor, it is
certain that just now the latter is in infinitely
t greater danger than the other, and outranks
\ it as an immediate question. With the ap-
pointing power in thu hands of a President
like Mr.. Hayes we need feel no great alarm
about official corruption while his term
lasts but we are in imminent danger that,
in spite of his veto. the public credit and
private confidence will be destroyed and
the country plunged into calamities from
which it could not recover in long period.
That side of fortress is most important
for the time being on which the enemy is
making his most formidable attack. The
Southern policy of the President, though
. it was of the first rank last March,
calls for little attention and no anxiety at
present. Neither he nor the republican
party can reverse or overthrow it, With one
branch of Congress democratic now, and
both likely to be within two years, the
President need borrow no trouble about the
success Of his Southern policy. The civil
service cannot be very corrupt during his
time if there is proper vigilance at Wash
.ington. We hope, therefore, that he will
mot squander any Of his strength in fighting
shadows when he is likely to need it all for
protecting the national credit and tho
slowly reviying business Of tho country
against the most formidable attacks ever
made upon them by set of financial luna
tics in Congress.

A New England Foible.

The principal speaker at the New Eng
land dinner said in. tone of satirical
pleasantly sit is not at all surprising
to Us who have studied the subject
that we have these opinions, but it is
surprising that the rest of the world
is ready to tnke us at our own words. !"
Applause and laughter.) Mr.. Evarts no
doubt meant to be understood ironically, or
at least jocosely, when he expressed sur
prise that the rest of'the world is ready to
take the boastful Yankees at their own val
uation. New England has indeed great
deal to be proud of but her claims to
superiority are not generally admitted by
other parts of the country. Her services
were pre-eminent in the early days OF the
she has adorned our literature with some
bright names but in most other respects
the palm of superiority hardly belongs to
her. New England has not had even an
average proportion OF men OF the highest
order. Washington was not hers, nor was
Franklin, except by birth, and these are
the two greatest names of our Revolution
airy period. 1t was Madison, and not New
England man, that set on foot the move-
ment which led TO the framing OF the fed
eral constitution. The leading features OF
the instrument were of Virginia origin. Its
great advocates before the people were the
authors Of ssThe Fcderalis,' our chief polit-
ical classic, none of them Yankees. When
the government went into operation
oil its influential officers belonged to
other parts Of the country. Washington
was President, Madison the leading man in
Congress, Jay Chief Justice, Jefferson and
Hamilton the great intellectual props of the
administration, the only New England man
in the Cabinet being General Knox. In the
second war with England the two most
brilliant generals were Jackson and Scott
both of Southern birth. In the war with
Mexico Scott and Taylor ec!ipsed ali other
commanders, and in the civil war New Eng
land had no great soldier. She opposed the
war OF 1872 and the war with Mexico, by
which the country gained so much renown.
She also opposed the immense addition to
our territory made by Jefferson and that
which followed the Mexican war. The
greatest OF our jurists, John Mar
shall, was not New Englander, and
Kent is fully the peer of Story. What
name has she to compare with that Of Full
ton, or that of De Witt Clinton, or,that of
Audubon? If she gave birth TO Morse he
had long deserted her when he made his

The Christmas Tree.

The world is indebted to the Protestant
districts Of Northern Germany for the
Christmas tree. There it was first planted,
as it were, and its seeds scattered over all
the earth wherever the Christian name has
been heard. No sweeter custom ever grew
up among people, and the universally OF
its observance to-day at the end of hundreds
Of years is the best proof, if proof were
needed, of it's moral beauty and loveliness.
The whole world has made it its own, and
the world is all the richer and the better
that it has done SO. In the old German
days the illusions Of the Christmas tree and
the Christmas gifts were more complete
than now. Knecht Rupert, the modern
Santa Claus, was veritable parsonage, who,
Enthusiastically disguised, went on Christmas
Eve with train Of curiously arrayed at
tendants from house to house, bearing the
Christmas tree and distributing the pres
ents to the little ones of each household
after rigid inquiry as to their
merits and demerits during the year.
All this has been changed, not only
here but even in the older countries on the
European Continent, but the soul of the
custom has been kept alive in the tree
which each house for itself erects and dec
crates. With us it is well for the sake of
the preservation Of the custom that it has
been changed. Young America could not be
deceived very often by disguised Knecht
Ruperts. The first visit he may get along
we'll enough, but the second or third he
would be certain to be put to some severe
tests, which would, sooner or later, dispel
the mystery of his existence. Modern in
ventions have marvellously sharpened the
wits of all of US, even OF the three-year-
olds who remorselcssly dissect their first
talking automaton to solve the problem of
its loquacity. Knecht Rupert would never
do in this evening Of the nineteenth CEN
tury, with it's railroads and telegraph lines,
and it would be hazardous to attempt to
make of him a living entity. Far better
keep him coursing over the housetops with
his tiny sleigh and reindeer, dropping gifts,
as he flies, through the cavernous chimney,
or even through the red hot stove. May he
come in his most attractive way to each and
every little one and gladden. them one and
all.
