CHRISTMAS IN THE EAST.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.
The Tribune says one of the argu-
ments in favor of the unlimited coin
age of silver dollars which are not
worth a dollar, and of paying all debts
in them made use of by the silver in
fiationists, is that France has both gold
and silver money in circulation aud
they circulate at the same nominal
value, shows that the facts in regard
to France are not as represented by
the silver men. The total noun OF
silver coin in France is extremely linn
tied, being less than the amount pro
posed to be issued in this country in
the next year, and there is practically
only one standard in France.
Christmas was generally observed
in this and neighboring cities. Dis
patches from the Northeast aud South
show the day was duly honored re-
ligiously and socially.
