, The Christmas tree at Tate's Opera
House Monday night was a delightful
success. At an early hour the hall
was we'll filled with ladies and chill
dreD, and large and orderly congre-
cation of gentlemen and boys.
The hall was dimly lighted by
lamps turned low, and only outlines
of the tree were visible, with not q
hint of the fruitage of treasures sns-
pended from its boughs, except the
sparkle of some brilliant "glimmer-
ing in the darkness" The Rev. d.
A. Ross offered an eloquent and ap-
propriate prayer, expressing graft
tude for fhe blessings bestowed upon
this community through the year,
and co--signIng to the care of an ever
watchful Rather the joyous children
who had gathered together on this
happy occasion. The appearance of
the venerable minister as he rose up
amid the hub-bub of impatient ex-
pecta ton Of the children, seemed to
inspire each of the little ones with a
full realization of his office and his
mission, and as his words feIl-a
benediction upon the bowed heads of
the coDgregation-every one realized
that the joyous "Chrstmas time"
was a season consecrated.
The tree, a live holly, fresh and
green" with full bearing of beautiful
red berries clustering upon its limbs,
was theL Illuminated by thousand
wax tapers which reflected upon the
leaves and berries, and the glittering
presents, and the happy parents and
children assent led beneath its
branches, as soft as mOonheams on a
summer night. But the picture was
finished when Santa Claas appeared
with his burden of presents for the
little Ones-and the "big ones,' too,
his happy Old face beamipg with
joy and good cheer beneath snow
flakes which had gathered there for
many a winter. The cold gentle |
man" was an ideal kris" and many
a little heart bounded with JOY as he
took his place and in his feeble voice
called out the names Of "Mary," |
Matte, " Minnie" Nellie" Erred |
die, p Willie, johnnie, and when
he reached little Ike Yopp's name Ike
'waltzed'' to the front in a style that |
made us wish we "were boy again
Polite young gentlemen were at the
command of "old Kris" and bore |
many a love token from his wither=
ed hand to fair young girls, whose
bushes betrayed to gallant Sweet |
hearts" the secret they would know. I
The wife was remembered by the
husband with something that com
bined the useful with the beautiful,
and presents fOl the husband were
there which could only have been Sc
Iected by the wife. Absent ones
were remembered, and names were +
called whose owners we're far away,
but in imagination their familiar
forms seemed to rise up and claim
the token of friendship or love. The
scene was beautiful beyond descrip-
ton, and the sentiment of the occa-
sion was IN keeping with the time
The young gentlemen and ladies
who managed the affair deserve the
thanks Of every one who attended.
After the presents we're delivered the
congregation dispursed to wander
out on the streets and view the,
brilliant display Of fireworks, and to
return to happy homes made doublY

THE NEW BENCH OF THE
COURT OF APPEALS.

On Monday last in Richmond, the Court
of Appeals, Judges Lacy, Lewis, Fauntle-
roy and Richardson sitting, decided the con-
test between Judges Hinton and Burkes
for seat in that court. Judge Burkes
was elected by the legislature in 1876 in
place of Judge Bouldin, who was elected
in 1871 to serve term of twelve years but
died in 1876. The point at Issue was how
long Judge Burkes was elected for, wheth-
or for the unexpired term of Judge Bould
in or for the full term of twelve years; if
for the former Judge Hinton was entitled
to the seat, if for the latter Judge Burkes
held on until 1888. This question of un-
expired term had been before the old
Court of Appeals, and it had been decided
that all elections of Judges were for full
term, and from this decision Judge Mon
cure dissented. On Monday Judge Lacy
reading the opinion. the new Court decided
that the election of Judge Burkes was on
ly for an unexpired term. From this
opinion Judge Lewis dissented, holding
that Burkes was elected for a full term,
ending in 1888. Judge Hinton, after the
decision was read, took his seat upon the
bench.

The Civil Service Reform bill offered by
Senator Pendleton and passed by Congress
is not likely to furnish more tangible re-
suits to the country than the appointment
of three persons as Civil Service Commits
sioners at $500 each per annum and
Chief Examiner at $4,000 per annum.-
There are now about 125,OC0 per
sons employed in the public SER
vice OF the United States and drawing
their pay from it's Treasury. The new
law applies to about one-twelfth of these,
leaving the other eleven-twelfths who in
reality do the most important part of the
work and draw the largest salaries, un-
touched. It is among this majority of
higher officials that are found the men
who have rendered the present off,
eial system of the government
odious. 1t is from this class that
comes most Of the corruption and most
of the interference with State poll
tics. Retaining them in position and
out of harm 3 reach does not look much
like Civil Service Reform except on the
homeopathic plan of infnitesimal doses
And after all Civil Service Commission
appointed by partizan President, and its
three members divided into two Of one
political party and one of another will
not find 1t difficult to continue the present
political complexion Of the civil service
of the country. Either national party can
easily furnish ten thousand men qualified
to fill as many Offices of low grade. The
fact that the Republican Senators unanj.
mously defeated an amendment making
all official positions open to competition
showed pretty well how they intended the
bill to be worked and it is needless to add
that the whole spirit and practice of Pres
ident Arthur's administi alton is against
anything that will interfere with the prin-
ciple of bossism which is the corner stone
on which that administration rests,
It is necessary to the health and well
being Of republic, unlike monarchy,
that all its citizens of all parties should
have right to aid and share in carrying
on the government. The opportunity that
comes for exercising this right comes for
the most part through the supremacy of
the party to which the citizen belongs. and
with the general intelligence of the Anne
rican people it is not a difficult matter foi
either Democracy or Rspublicanism to find
ft men for carrying on any department OF
the government. Besides, change in
the men who carry on the government is
necessity and conduces to the purifca
tion of the various departments.
Change in officials is an American idea
which has worked we'll for century and
especially has its value been seen when
Office holders of either party have been in
too long. The assumption that there ia
something so intricate in government af-
fairs as to be beyond the comprehension
of the people who are governed, is a
relic of Bourbonism which must be dis
carded. Mr.. Pendleton's bill is merely
ornamental and will hardly be put int
practice with rlgidity sufficient to annoy
the ms or benefit the outs.

The Coalition party in Virginia seems
to have come to halt. The State and
county officers in reach of the party have
been divided out. and there is death-like
stiffness pervading the line of the Federal
Offices. The rafting skirmish fire of chang
ing country postmasters seems to be over,
and the internal revenue department has
ceased to furnish victims. A sklrmish
now and then in the State institutions over
the raiment Of some comrade who has beer
decapitated as not servicable enough
to the cause, is about all that breaks
the stiffness. But this will not do; full
cry after spoils is the normal condition Of
the Coalition party, and if that ceases
apathy and decay will enter upon the ad
ministratlon of It's affairs. The scene has
changed with the followers. he spoils are
divided out, no new pastures to let down
the fence to, and thousands of expectants
yet unprovided for.
And the political fortunes of its leaders
have changed too. But few monthsa gG
the question was what General Ma
hone would demand of the Republican
party for his alliance. Now it is a question
if he can hook on to it at any price. Blu,
yesterday it was what Federal Office tn.
General would give his adherents; to-day i,
is what Arthur will give Malone to Civ.
them. All things seem to have come to
halt with the General and his friends
While the privates in the ranks are be.
wailing the inability of the short rations
to 60 around, the leaders are in still more
anxiety about at what crib to get their ra-
tions for the future. To side with the
beaten Republicans is sorry alliance foi
a newly elected and young senator like
Riddleberger. To trade with the victorious
Democrats is impossible for Mahone.-
What shall the followers do, and where
shall the leaders go is now the burning
question Of the Coalition party.
