The ALBANY LoBBY-With the democrats In

are some innocent people who. perhaps, think
that the lobby jobs and jobbers oSeach will be
neutralized by the jobbers and jobs of the
other, SO that this Legislature will be without
much profit to the lobby on either side, and
that accordingly the taxpaying people will
have occasion to be thankful. We fear, how.
ever, that all such estimates Of the new Legis-
laturc will prove delusive in the course OF fve

that every lawmaker at Albany, republican or

publication day come together thls year, ana
hence more than ordinarily it is proper that
We should refer to the day, and the glad
event it is intended to commemorate, 1t
is true that very few persons object to the
celebration, mainly for the reason that there
is no actual certainty as to the time of the
Saviours birth, and hence in order to be on
the safe side they prefer TO omit the celebra-
ton altogether. In reply to this objection,
it is proper to say that in the fourth century
the fathers of the church thoroughly lnvestF
gated this question, and the result was an
agreement upon the 25th of December
From that date to the present Christmas has
been observed in all christian countries, and
has always been regarded as a day of festivity
and JOY The only exception to this rule,
was England under the Puritans, when these
gloomy sectarians made it penal offence to
observe Christmas We have it on the au-
thority of Macaulay, thatit was their legis>
lation in regard to Christmas and other hOli-
days, that more than anything else tended to
bring the Puritans into contempt and paved
the way for the restoration. The Puritans
who settled New England brought with them
this same narrow minded bigotry, but there
it has long since disappeared, and Smong





their descendants Christmas is as uniformly
houored as in any other part of the christian
world. Its religious aspect, however, is a
question that we do not propose to discuss.
IN its merely social character, there is that
about Christmas that appeals to the best
feelings of our nature. From time immemo>
rial, Christmas has been the day when family
feuds and arrangements were reconciled,
and the children who had wandered far and
wide were again united under the parental
roof On this day the mind will irresistibly
revert back to childhood days, and recall the
scenes when we celebrated Christmas at the
old homestead.


in England, from which country we manr
ly derive our customs, Christmas from time
immemorial has been the season of Joy and
domestic affection The season when fami-
lies assemble, when children come home from
school, when quarres are made up, when car
ols are heard in every street, when every
house is decorated with evergreens, and every
table loaded with good cheer. At this season
all hearts pot destitute of kindness are en-
larged and softened At this season the
poor are admitted to partake largely of the
overfowings of the wealth of the rich. A
this season the interval between landlord
and tenant, master and servant, is less mark
ed than through the rest of the year, anC
the anniversary of the Savior's advent i
made the occasion of joy and festivity.


In our own country, made up as 1t is o

Christmas is observed in many diferen
ways, but by all it is regarded as an occasion
of JOY aud festivitv-a season of delight

HELENA, ARK. September s.


DEAR We have.the hardest times
in this country that / ever experienced
in any country. / might say we have
had no money, and large tax to pay on
recopstruction. If Seymour and Blair
are not elected, God help the people OF
this country with negro rulers.


You ask for my advice about coming
down here. My advice at this present
time is-do not come South, If you DO
not want to see misery upon earth. There
is no safety for any white man in this
country. The negro is against the white
man and gives him no rest if he is a Dem.
ocrat. The leaders-a few white thieves,
and what they call carpet -baggers-are
inciting the negroes against the Waite
people. -,
, l feel confident you will hear of trouble
in our State; for the present carpet,
bspger that has control of the State will
not allow any man to vote that ever
sympathized with the rebellion. They
have the negroes organized and drilled
all over the State, with arms, furnished
BY the State, to keep white men frem
voting, or saying anything against the
carpet. baggers. Tell all of your friends
to work hard for Seymour and Blair, and
take US out of bondage and deliver us
from destruction.


Friend, you may think that am talk
ing out of the way concerning politics. /!
wish it was so; but ifyou were here, and
could see the negroes this day going to
political meetings in the country, from
three to five hundred strong, with shot
guns and revolvers, daring any white
man to say one word to them, you would
not be inclined to come down here till
after the election, as l think after that
time the country will be more settled.


The crops are better than they have
been for the last five years. / look fora
revival of trade this fall, if nothing Sc
rious happens.


This certainly would be good place
for your business, but do not come now,
nor until we have settled constitutional
government.

Baggers.


A more unhappy condition could not
well be imagined than that Of apeople
conquered, subject, and submissive, and
yet belied to their injury, by miscreants
in human form, whom neither the thun-
derbolt nor the wrath of man is permitted
to crush. As to the Camilla affair which
paid liars are here to represent we copy
the following from the Nashville Union
and American. "Patience is exhausted" +"
Forbearance also will soon be SO:


The mob at Camilla, Georgia, is an
other of those deplorabe occurrences so
frequent of late, which, though the direct
and inevitable result of Radical misrule,
are made to inure to the benefit of its ac-
cursed contrivers. Bad they are, but
they are worse because the bloody in
structions do not return to plague the
inventors" but, by false representations,
are turned to their advantage.


The published account of the mob was
doubtless, in the main, true. A carpet
bag candidate for Congress organized an
armed mob of his deluded negro retain
ers, numbering between four and FIVE
hundred, and visits county of his dis
trict for the purpose of overawing the
people. The Sheriff, under the recent
proclamation of the Radical Governor
forbidding armed organizations at public
meetings, meets the leader, and reads
the riot act requiring their dispersion or
disarming. They refuse, and proceed to
FIRE on the lawful posse assembled by the
Sh eriff to aid him in the discharge of his
duty. The FIRE is returned, and forty or
fifty cf the mob fall killed or wounded,
and are driven from the field. The seal
lawag who led them is among the
wounded.


The Radical account, already given to
the public, represents the mob as peace
full concourse of lamb-like innocents, fol-
lowing q faithful shepherd and ex-
FOUNDER of the "great moral idea creed,
who was literally going about doing good,
which was ruthlessly set upon and shot
down BY the Ku-Klux Democracy. And
this foul falsehood, with twenty Others
like it, in ten days, will be strown as
thickly over the North as autumn leaves,
abusing the minds of that people with
the impression that the rebellion is ready
TO break out afresh, and that Northern
whites and loyal" blacks at the South
are wantonly murdered for their political
opinions.


Radical emissaries, like this fellow
Pierce, who is now to be exhibited as
martyr to rebel ferocity, are travelling
over the South melting by their damna-
BILE teachings, war Of races; aud when
white men, in obedience to the instincts
of self-preservaiion. refuse to be put in
peril BY their armed audacity, and after
invoking the law for protection, protect
themselves by counter force, they are
stigmaiized as organized cut throats, and
their natural conduct under the circum-
stances, made pretext for further op.
preston. This is q fearful state Of
things, and will grow worse. If elections
are to be carried in this WY, there will
be but few more of them. Heaven fore
fend the consequences, but if the nation
in its blindness gives the Southern people
over 10 the devilish isfy Of negro hate,
the book Of events will soon open on the
darkest chapter yet recorded.

poured out fattering speech, the practical ar-
plication of which was that they had made up
their minds to adopt him, and had brought all
the young of the tribe before him IN
order that he might select wife. The women,
by their accamations, showed IA perfect willing

NEWSPAPER SPoNGEs. - An exchange

business to sponge the reading of their

selves. This has often been noticed and
commented upon. They are found wher.
ever the paper is left-in shop, Office, store,
or BARRIERS shop-and often borrow it before
the owner has an opportunity of raising it
from the table. This is done BY very many
who are abundantly able and whose duty
would seem to be, to sustain their county
paper, by subscribing and paying for the
same.
