CHRISTMAS.
Christmas is here. We trust it s
occasion fbr joy to every reader of the
Frporhr. Couid we hare it so. there
would net be one heavy heart in all this
wide world on tbie great day. And it
there were that appreciation and rea i
tation of Christmas and the great event
which it commemorate*, and that it so
fittingly deserves from all, there would
be neither heart nor soul front dawn o
morn to dusk of ere, that would not be
forget fill of all else but to rejoice that
just now is the anniversary of the great
Friend of mankind, who came to bring
peace, good will, and joy-and these srs
all found by those who will have them.
All other holidays are nothing com
pared with Christmas. Our Fourth of
July, Washington's birth day. and •Ofh
like these, what would they be without
Christmaa? Or rather, we might say.
we would not have these at all. if mar
kind had not been freed from the
thraldom of the evil power through the
coming of Ilim who was born at Bethle
hem that we might be saved from super
stition. sio and idolatry. From that day
dates a new era for mankind ; aaJ from
it sprang light to dispel darkness, and
sow the seeds of civil and religions lib*
erty.
The star still shines and points to
Bethiehem-are we all shepherds on
the way to find Him * It is a light that
leads not astray.
Christmas comes only once a year, and
that is enongh, for the world only need
ed the one Redeemer, and He fulfilled
all the prophets have said, though many
be fools and alow of heart to believe
all.
While all nations hsve tbstr own
special, national holidays, this great
Christmas festival is cosmopolitan, * n,i
all christian nations and tongues join on
this day in thanksgiving and rejoicing
over the precious gift that was given to
loet and sinfnl man —a Redeemer and
Savior?
It is proper that we all rejoice and be
glad—more glad than he who has be
stowed upon him silver, and gold, ano
large estates; far we have received an
inheritance for greater than all these.
We wish all our readers a merry
Christmas ; may there not be one apeck
of cloud to inar its enjoyment, and if
there be no gifts from the bands of men,
there is infinite cause tor rejoicing over
the gift of the babe of Bethlehem which
serreth all forever. We quote a few
lines from Jan. St. Nicholas:
When Christmas morning cme they say
The whele world knows it's Christmas
Day;
The ery cattle in the stalls
Keeel wbea the blessed midnight falls.
And all the night the heavens shine.
With latter of • light divine.
L*ng ere the dawn the children leap
With "Marry Christmas !'' in their sleep ;
And dream about the Christmas-tree ;
Or rue, their stockings filled to see
Swift come the hours of joy and cheer,
Of lovitfg friend and kindred dear ;
Of tt'fts and bounties in the air.
Sped by the "Merry Christmas'" prayer.
WhiU through it all, so street aid strong,
Is heard the noly angels' song ;
"Glory be to "God abeye t
Oh earth be peace and belpfitl love!"
And <*n the streets, er hearts within,
The Christinas carvliags begin:
"Waken. Christian children,
Up and let us sing.
Wnh glad voice the praises
Of our new-born King.
"Come, nor fear to seek Him,
Children though we be;
Onre He said of children,
'Let them come to me-'
"Haste we then to welcome,
With a joyous lay.
Cbrut, the King ot Glory,
Born for us to-day."
One of the severest doees of radical
disfranchisement of northern whitea,
that B aine got in the senate in reply to
bis alleged intimidation of negroea.
came from senator Wallace, who re
minded bim of the northern republican
gerrymanders whereby the white demo
crats are disfranchised from their repre
sentation in congress. Blaine's commit
tee might takenp that phase of the enb
jeet with great profit, and while bis
men wonld fail of making ont an
honest case against the south, it would
be eminently successful in what it could
prove in the north.

Stranger things have happened than
a rebellion in the republican ranks and
the defeat of Don Cameron for U. S.
Senator. There have been mutterings
all along that something of the kind was
breeding, and they are getting loader
each day. A Pittsburg dispatch of 19
•ays.- As Mackey it probably dying a
number of Republican leaders who have
become eick of the domineering policy
of Don Cameroon have broken loose
from the ranks. Their programme is to
elect Galnsha A. Grow to the Senate in
stead of Cameron. I have it from the
best informed politician in Western
Pennsylvania that Quav, of Philadel
phia, with many other leaders of the
Eastern wing of the party, and Magee,
Collector Rntan and halfadoxeu others
of this city who can carry this end of the
State, are now at Philadelphia fixing the
programme for Cameron's defeat. It is
certain that Magee and the others are in
Philadelphia, and also certain that they
made several remarks before leaving
here which confirm the above atory.
The Centre Democrat, will be the name
of the new paper which is to make its
appearance at Bellefoate in January,
Hon. S, T. Shugert and Maj. K. li.
Forster, will be the publishers. They
are both veteran democrats, wbo never
balked or rebelled, and well known.
The absence of a damocratic organ at onr
county seat in which the democratic or
ganizations of the state and county have
confidence, seems to demand thia un
dertaking by the above parties.
General Cameron denies that he ever
accused Wade Hampton of shooting his
brother, Colonel James Cameron, as
stated by Eli Perkins.
As an indication of how much truth
there is in the Republican howl about
•lection frauds in South Carolina a trial
of Democratic judges in Clarendon coun
ty is a fair test. An acquittal was the
result, although tbe foreman of tbe jury
was a Republican and there were two
negroes on the panel.
Hayes is a Grant man. Grant is tbe
choice of the old whiskey ring, the most
of whom he pardoned ont of the peni
tentiary.
Don Cameron can not make a speech
one quarter as leng as Grant, yet he rep
resents one of the greatest states in tbe
\J. 8. Senate.
Hartranft and Grow are trying to get
toward Taylor's place.
Blaine had to face a red hot demo- ,
cratic fire before he got his resolution of
j investigation passed -although sll the
democratic senators, hut six. voted to
pass it, yet they gave him such a mrt
of northern radical bulldoxiug, and die-j
franrhixement of white democrats, tha
his stomach has been out of kelter from
it.
A Washington dispatch of IT snvs the
discussion oti the resolution of M>
Blaine, as amended hy Mr. Ihurman
and the Senate, for an investigation into
the late elections, wa* resumed in the
Senate to-day, and at it* conclusion
resolution was passed hy 56. to Mi.
Blaine, as on the day previous, fought a
losing tight. Hit Republican associate*
lefl him eomiwratitelv alone on the
door and listened front the >ofa* and
adjoining cloak-rooms to the drubbing
which he received at the hands of Sens
tors Wallace, Ransom. Morgau aud
Whyte. Patterson, of i-otith Carolina,
sst hy Blaine's side and comforted hun,
and the ancient Ilatnlin al-o remained
*t the right hand of his colleague during
a portion of the debate. Mr. Ma. ace
was the first to annoy Blame. The
Pennsylvania Senator, hacked hy an
unanswerable array of figures, demoti
strated the fallacy of the Maine Sena
tor's argument last wee* concerning the
political strength of the white voter
South as compared with the political
strength of the white voter North. Mr
Wallace had judiciously scle. ted a few
of the most glaring instances of the get
rymandering of Republican I ongres
sional districts in the North, wherein
three times as many Democratic vote*
are required to elect one Representative
of that parly as Republican votrs are re
quired to eieot a single Representative
of the radical faith. The strongest point
made ly Mr. Wallace in his speech w .t
--that the sentimeut of the country, irrcs
pectiveof party, was opposed to the
agitation of sectional differences witen
Congress should he devotiug its time ■
'egislation for the promotion of traJe.
■omtncrce and national prosper.'v.
The able speech or Senator Wallace
will be found in another column of the
Reporter.
Senator Whyte, of Md , in his remark
in the Blaine resolution, said that it
would U Strango if some IVmoorata ot
■he South had not Uo/tO'd 'h® tricks oi

prive the negro of his constitutions,
rights. To illustrate, he said he once
Asked a negro if he had voted.
"Y'ee indeed I se voted."
"Whom did you vote for '"'
"Well, I couldn't xaekly say who I
voted for, but I knews I voted the right
ticket."
"But how do you know you voted the
right ticket, if you don't know who you
vote*! for."
"Cause you see, I couldn't vote no
other ticket I seen that tried.
Blaine's investigating committee is to
sit with closed doors and do its wors in
secret. The democrats voted iu favor ot
the investigation but proposed to sit
with open doors, in open day-light, s <
that the people, who are concerned in
the matter, might know w hat was going
on. This reasonable proposition of the
democrats was voted down by the radi
cal senate.
Blaine and his assistants in breeding
*ectional strife, dou't wish open doors,
because that would not answer their
purposes in manufacturing electioneer
ing stuff against the southern people. It
the democrats are not afraid of open
doors and the eye of the people, whv
need the radicals be, if they have a good
.*ase to go on with? But there is the
trouble, the r charges against the sonth
are false and groundless and they must
have a committee to sit in secret and in
darkness manufacture a big story of
southern intimidation of colored voter*
to poiaon the minds of the people ot
the north against those of the south.
The committee of inveatigation will
therefore be a one sided affair, sitting in
secret session to take testimony from
perjurers and men hired to swear to
false charges. Why investigate in secret
if their charges of southern intimidation
are true ? If the democrats are not afraid
of open doors, why should the radicals
be when the majority of the committee
will he radical ? Our elections are pub
lic, our courts are open and public, the
Potter committee sat with open doors
and did not fear daylight, yet we have
the radicals of the senate —their last
senate too—appointing an investigation
into tha lata elections in the south, but
the whole work to be carried on in se
cret!
Well, let them go on; they are in
their last desperate throes ; let them do
their worst or their best,and when their
secret work is done, based at it will he
upon the say of hired perjurers, let them
make the best of it. No #ensible man
aot blinded by parly prejudices, will
give one farthing for all the horrible
things that Blaine's secret investigating
committee may hatch out, manufacture
aud report.
WlllTE REPIBLICASIS M
The attitude of the republicans, since
they are dieappointed in the negro voters
calls out these opt remarks from the
World. It says it looks very much as if
we should see the ltepublican party be
fore long marching under banhers in
scribed "White men shall rule America;"
William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phil
lips and company screaming "Would
you like your daughter to marry a ne
gro?" and Colonel Pat. Donau, erst
while of the I/exington (Mo.) Caucasian,
declaring, as editor of the Iribune
founded by Horace Greeley, that no
simian-souled sooty-Bkinned kink-curl
ed blubber-lipped prehensile-heeled
Ethiopian gorilla shall pollute the bal
lot-box with his leprous vote. Then we
shall have Lincoln's reluctance to abol
ish slavery and Morton's opposition to
negre suffrage cited as the ouly and
original Republican doctrine. Already
we see the fact paraded that Mrs. Hayes
has no intention whatever of "inviting
"the quadroon wife of colored Senator
"Bruce to attend at the first Presidential
reception that her husband "has
"never been invited to dine at the
"White House or elsewhere with a par
ty of Senators," and that "General tlrant
"never inyited Revels, of Mississippi,
"and when be gave a dinner to the
"Santo Domingo Commissioners lefi out
Fred Douglass." The Republican Presi
dents are thus cleared ol the stigina of
associating with "the nigger," and the
Rspublicau|Senators can point with pride
to the fact that they kept Pinchback out
of his seat. For the nigger who has no
further funds to deoosit in the Freed
men's Bank and who votes the Demo
cratic ticket the Republican party bus no
use. The duty therefore devolves upon
the Democracy, which has aiways been
the party of the Constitution and has
everywhere declared its loyal accep
tance of that instrument and its amend
ments, to see that the colored citizen in j
South Carolina is protected in his rights 1

are not just as strongly marked in the

do not always carry. 1-ast month, for
example, they ran two negroes in the
Second N rth Carolina and were heaten.
Of course this increases the unrepieaont
ed element, which is always large under
the system of majority representation,
but it Will he interesting to see the

Blaine that the Republican party has

at the North it re aitut its hold upon

opponents. It is conventional with'

"Are net these denials an abridgement

pay hit taxes was driven irom the pell*.
Federal authority intrenched itself on the

Would it b# jast to deprive Pennsylvania
