We agree with our contemporaries,
that the circuit courts are expensive
and useless. They perform no duties
that could not be done by the district
courts; and in fact, they seem to
have very little to do at all. No one
who is anxious to have his case ter
minated, would care to 60 to the
circuit court, if an appeal lay to the
supreme court; for such a sscirculmo-

Like the Bossier Banner, We are

not know how to perform their du.

they will hardly do SO during an ex.

WASHINGTON, u. o., DEC. IL.
Dear Banner: Doubtless you are
aware that Congress has done moth.
ingbut talk since meeting; or, rather,
the Republican portion. There is q
joint resolution before the House
providing that in counting the Elec.
torai vote, if either House objects to
the counting of vote, that vote
shall not be counted. The pres
ent rule, allows the Vice President
to open and count the votes, thus
vesting in him more power than
is contained in either House.
The Democratic party do not
think the Vice. President should
have more authority than either or
both Houses of Congress. Should
a corrupt Vice President be elected,
and that is just what has been done,
he could count il himself four years
hence, or any other Republican can
didate, by simply refusing to open
and count Electoral votes from Dem
ocratic States. This power has new.
or been usurped by Vice President.
But that is no argument that it will
not be. In 1876 the election hinged
on one vote, even after the Republi-
cans had stolen three States. In 1884,
the race may be as close. Then,
with Arthur as Vice President, the
man who was kicked out of the New
York Custom House for stealing,
can there be any doubt that he
would count our man out, if it laid
in his poweri The mans record
does not admit of any argument, and
the Democracy want to put up the
gaps in order that the Presidency
may not again be stolen.
The Democrats wish to force
vote on the adoption of this rule
The Republicans seek to delay a vote
BY discussing the matter. This will
probably bring on an extra session,
the censure for which will be placed
to the Democratic side, because they
are in the majority.
The Republicans are pretty we'll
scared. They think there is a Dem.
ocratic darkey in the fence corner to
count in Hancock. This would have
been possible had the New York
Democratic Electors met aud cast
the vote for Honcock. But now the
only way would be to throw ont
Ohio and Indiana on the grounds of
colonizing voters. But that is not
thought of.
The Republicans like sure thing,
and they want to stave off the adop-
ton of the new rule until after the
Electoral College meets on the sec
ond Wednesday in February. Then,
the republican Vice. President would
count in the man from the Buck. Eye
State.
This discussion will lead to good
results: It will make the members
become more familiar with the Con.
stitution, and finally end in an
Amendment to the Constitution al
lowing the people to vote directly for
President and Vice.President, in
stead Of the present roundabout
way. Things are lively and promise
to become moreso.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER %, 1880.



Next Saturday will be Christmas
Day, which is generally supposed to
be the happiest time of all the year.
1t is the day of feasting and drink
ing, of merry making, Of giving
presents to friends, and of universal
mirth and festivity. It is the time
when congratulations are in order,
when everybody feels good, and care
is thrown to the winds. There is
not holiday which is SO universally
observed as Christmas. Old, yet it
is forever new. Other holidays We
have, other anniversaries which we
observe; but no holiday, no anniver-
sary, that has been, is now, or ever
shall be, can compare to this one.-
In itself full of the tenderest and
blessedest memories; memories link
ing together on celestial chain the
Cradle, the Cross, the Crowds
brings to each and all of us associa-
tions AZ sweet as they are sacred
To the young, the realization of
those desires, SO simple and yet suf-
ficent, which brightens childhood
and youth; to the middle aged, those
tokens Of friendship and love, and
those social courtesies and congratu-
lations, which soften the burdens
and smo0the the path of life; to the
old; the recollection Of joys Aat,
though passed away, have left sun
set bloom upon the evening sky. To
all: the young, the middle aged,
the old; the rich and the poor, the
high and the low-some rays at least
of that precious light of peace and
hope which illumined the birth
scene in Bethlehem. We can fancy
that all other celebrations in which
the world now INDUCES may be
swept out of sight in q vortex of rev.
olutions; for the times chance and
the worlds mind changes with them.
But We cannot even imagine that
this celebration, intertwined as it is
with the purest and strongest affec.
tions Of the human heart, the high
est and hottest aspirations of the hu.
man soul, can ever cease to be what
it is now. Bound up with the best
of the mortal and the immortal; q
golden ladder stretching from earth
to heaven surely it can never die.
On the contrary, we believe it is des-
tined to grow in grace, in beauty
and in strength as the years roll on;
because, like the prince of poets, it
is ''not Of an age, but for all time"
Belonging exclusively to no creed,
no sect; the common property Of a
common faith-it promises to out.
last all creeds and all sects, and
take its place among the choicest
treasures of that universal faith
which is so near and yet 90 far.
Let us be thankful, then, that
amid the wreck Of theories and the
crash Of dogmas, amid the bloodless
yet bitter battle between socalled
sciencc-this monument of the past
stands secure and serene. Let us
be thankful that, in the future as in
the past, the hand raised to break it
will remain to bless. Let us be
thankful that whatever else yields
to the practical demands of prac-
teal civilization, Christmas will
stay; q shrine Of grateful and gener-
ous thoughts, an altar for unselfish
q temple for unaffected
prayer and praise. And let us on
this occasion, this ssbridal of the
earth and sky" endeavor to breathe
the true Christmas air and obey the

The other day one Of our most
esteemed young burglars was by some
oversight arrested and fined for
creating a disturbance. In default of
the fine he was to stay in jail thirty
days. The prisoner was deeply
Inundated by this sentence. as
"burgling" has been so dull recently
that he was not in funds, though like
most Frisco celebrities he would
rather suffer death than endure the
disgrace of being locked up. So he
sent for a well-known Pine street
broker.
