TNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISERS

Spanish treaties, Interstate commerce, leg
islation, inter-oceanic highways, revenue
reform, are of trif1ing moment. The char
acter of the vote in the Senate, and the
great debate on the merits of the measure,
show the estimate which senators put or
this scheme of National leliverance. IF
remember correctly, from our own section
two votes from Arkansas, two from Louisi.
ana, two from Mississippi, two from Flori.
da, two from Georgia, two from North
Carolina, two from West Virginia, one

lucky were recorded in it's favor. PARTY
divisions we're laid aside in the presence OF
the children. Washington, in his farewell
address, said: SIN proportion as the struct-
ure of government gives force to public
opinion, it is essential that public opinion
should be enlightened" Hon. Robert c.
Winthrop said recently that the Blair bill
''gave welcome encouragement that some
thing would at last be accomplished for this
greatest of all our notiondl needs and obi.
CATIONS" On the 22d of February the
completion of the Washington monument
is to have national celebration. For the
Christian patriot and sage selected by Con-
yress as an orator of the occasion, thou
sands of prayers are now offered that he
may be spared to perform the service i'm
posed upon him. Nothing, / am sure,
would be more fitting in connection with
the national tribute to the Father of his
Country than the announcement of law
which guarantees the preservation Of the
republic for which Washington toiled and
fought.
The party in power in the House Of Rep
resentatives will awaken gravest appre-
tensions as to its capacity for Government
and will embarrass beyond computation
the incoming Administration if it fail to
vote urgency for the Senate bill and to
adopt measure so essential to the safety
Of our free institutions. Yours truly,

Banquet to Senator German.

REMARKS BY Hon. SAM'L ]. RANDALL.
A banquet was given at Wizards Hotel
in Washington last Thursday night, by the
Columbia Democratic Club of that CITY. to
Senator German, of Maryland, in rscogni-
ton OF his valuable services during the
Presidential campaign.
A number of tracts were responded to by
distinguished gentlemen. That of the
democratic Party by Hon. Samuel j.
Randall, of Pa, from whose response we
make the following extracts
1--WE have passed out from the malign in
huence of hate, anger, restrictive laws, fac
ton and sectionalism; we will soon. come
under President Cleveland into the broad
daylight of freedom, to witness the onward
march of a reunited and harmonious people.
Each State, according to the diversity of its
climate and soil and according to its facili-
ties, furnishing q gigantic unit to the
mighty aggregate of national wealth. We
have only two enemies to fear-faction at
home and Vaccinations from outside on the
part of those who look upon our success as
their ruin and desire their advantage and
our disaster.
The incoming administration will have
imposed upon it high duties. 1t must cor
rect abuses, institute rig accountability,
keep officials in -titutional ways and
obedient to the law, and it should be done
in spirit of moderation, justice and for
bearance, exciting no dangerous apprehen-
sion in any quarter of the country that
democratic party comes to overthrow and
destroy; when the truth is, that its advent
into office is, | honestly believe, the begin
ming OF brighter. more prosperous and
grander era to all engaged in the trinity of
industrial pursuits, composed of agriculture,
manufactures aud commerce.
Already the content that pervades the
land betokens the confidence of the people,
notwithstanding the change that has taken
place, and you will, I am sure, join me in
the prayer that their just expectations may
not be disappointed in any respect what
ever"

CHRISTMAS-NEW YEAR.

Christmas! What memories cluster
around this Joyous and sacred season
sunshine and happiness entering into all the
relations of life, and especially frightening
those radiant and expectant faces at home,
where dreams of Christmas joys last all the
year round. Some expect to receive, and
others-who are blessed with that benevo-
lence which makes the heart happy by ex-
panding it-know the pleasure OF giving
There are homes where few joys come, yet
the yearning for them is as strong as mem
DRY and as lasting as hope. What privl-
lege it is for those who are blessed with
prosperity to make the little ones happy,
to cast sunbeam into the homes of earth's
poor, thereby following the injunction oil
our Great Exemplar, who has told us, las
We have done it unto one of the least OF
these, We have done it unto Me-" How ap-
propriate too it is, that the church militant
should celebrate this great event in joyous
song, in hallelujahs that were first sung by
the angel choir in chanting "Laudamus
at the birth of the King of Kings, and this
same Gloria in Ercelsis will be echoed and
re-echoed throughout the coming ages, and
only cease when time shall be no more.
Soon the ponderous wheels of Time will
bring us to the beginning of a New Year
and eighteen hundred and eighty-four will
be numbered with the years beyond the
food. Old Father Time, with his venera
BILE grey beard and scythe, is moving on
and on to eternity, never stopping; and as
we grow older from year to year, the many
bright air-castles erected in ''memory'
art gallery vanish like mist upon the
mountains brow. and a retrospect OF joys
past arises before the Imagination like the
gorgeous painting of some midnight dream,
carrying.us in spirit before the pictures o.
life past and gone, back and back, until
we are lost in that fascination which seems
so strangely to make US forget the ever
present stern realities of life. Many who
at the beginning of the past year were
bright and Joyous with brilliant hope and
expectation have crossed over the silent
river-entered into the great unknown,
that peaceful abode beyond the stars; and
is it not incumbent upon all to cultivate
feelings Of ''peace and good WILL" SO that
in the years to come we may look back
upon life we'll spent and he in charity
with all men.
We wish one and all-especially the
patrons and readers of the SPECTATOR
merry Christmas and happy New Year

Why Not.

The shipment Of Southern pig iron into
the Northern markets, has created consid-
cradle newspaper comment; from which we
judge, says the Abingdon Virginian, that
the iron lords of the Northern States do not
relish the idea of being brought into com
petition with their Southern sisters; for
against them no barrier of high protective
tariff can be erected; hence, many of them
make feeble effort to laugh off their fears
and scout the idea of serious competition
from this source.
Why not? Our mountains are filed with
ore of superior quality; while abundance
of coal, equal to that of Connellsville, Pa,
for coking purposes, is its next door neigh
Dor, and the best of limestone abounds. The
supply of labor, in this country, will always
equal the demand.
If the opening up of the iron industry,
thereby developing her hidden resources,
was wealth to Pennsylvania, would not the
same thing in Virginia mean wealth for
her? The time has passed for the South to
remain content with tilling the soil, or rest
satisfied that cotton is king, and that all
her efforts are required for its propagation
and the day has dawned when she feels the
necessity of bringing her buried wealth to
light, and utilizing her reserved forces.
AS considerable capital is required to &C
complish thiS, the iron monopolists of the
North are soothsd by the belief, that the
want of means will bar the progress of thu
South. Not SO; capital knows no country,
or section of country: show a good invest
ment, and it is always ready. The wedge
has been entered. The manufacture of iron
has been commenced in the South. 1t has
been shipped to the North in quantities suf-
ficient to undersell their home iron, and
to prove the experiment is not chimerical
Capital follows in the wake of enterprise;
and now, instead of the South seeking CAPT
tai, it will seek the South; her dark noun
tain regions will be lighted by the blast
furnace and the rolling mill, and king iron
will supplement king cotton in adding to
our prosperity and wealth.

LARGE FIRE IN RIoHMoND.-On last

Inmates his loss at from s45, 600 to $50, 600.
As the fire was first seen in. Watt &
Calls Foundry, it is thought the flames
originated there. Thursday they were
moulding, and it is supposed that the TASKS
used took fire after the workmen had
knocked off. The fire throws a number OF
mechanics out of work, which will be a
great hardship to many of them.

Rev. Edward s. Gregory.

The Rev. Edward S. Gregory, Rector Of
Epiphany Episcopal church, Lynchburg.
died in that city on the 10th inst, aged Al
years. He had been in delicate health for
several years, but had been active in the
discharge of his ministerial duties up to
within few days, and his death is great
shock to his friends. Deceased was born
in that city, and graduated at Lynchburg
College just before the breaking out of the
late war in class with Major John W.
Daniel.
Before entering the ministry about ten
years since, he became distinguished as a
contributor to the Press of Lynchburg and
Richmond and for several years as the
editor of the Lnde1-Appeal of Petersburg.
The papers of those three cities and
Norfolk contain glowing tributes to his
memory. The following is from the Dis
patch:
"The announcement of the death of Rev.
Edward s. Gregory will cause a sad shock
throughout the State Few men of his
years were better known to the Virginia
public, OR had made a more marked i'm
preston in various spheres of usefulness.
AS an editor, as poet, and finally, as ?
minister of the gospel, he exemplifed the
highest qualities of head and heart. His
literary attachments placed him in the front
rank of the most gifted of our literati, and
his brilliancy as a conversationalist was
only a little less power in drawing people
to him than were his gentle manners, Iowa
Bile disposition, and fidelity to principle
He lived and worked, during the latter par
of his life particularly. in an atmosphere OF
the beautiful and the good, giving to the
world in song and sermon many thoughts
that constitute eulogles of his character
and his worth more just than others could
