CEI33ISTRIAS.
For the first time in five ,Srears,'Christ
riatAide'ciimes to us againwith its old,
old message of "peace on earth-good
will towards men." The' Christmas of
1860 came to us as the clouds of war were
gathering' thickly Upon the 'Southern
korizon, and when the next Christmas
season rolled round, the vast amy of
McClellan was surrounding Washing
ton, preparatory to its forward move
ment upon the enemy. The Christmas
of 1862 came close upon the heels of - the
disastrous battle of Fredericksburg, and
dosed the year that had witnessed the ,
heroic deeds of the Army of the Potomac
before Richmond and in the fatal
"Seven Days!' of McClellan's retreat.
Another year passed by, with all its
changing fortunes of war, and When the,
next Christmas came, 'the same gallant
army had again swept backward and
forward across the battlefields of Vir
ginia, and was resting upon the Rig&
dan, preparing for the grand campaign
in which it was to win its crowning
glories and crush the pow ‘ er of the rebel
lion forever. Last Christmas ring ,
gladdened by the successful issue' of
Bherman's Great March, and the recep..
tion by President Lincoln of Sherman's
famous Christmas present of the cap
tured city of Savannah.
Last year we ventured, in our Christ
mas greeting to our readers, to predict
that the blessings of peace and re-union
would be bestoWed upon. us before this
festal season should come around again.
It needed no inspiration to make the
prophecy. Everywhere the clouds
were breaking away. The forces of the
rebellion were fading away. The re
sources of the South were hopelessly
exhausted. The ability of the North to
overwhelm and crush the rebellion was
demonstrated more clearly, day by' day,
and almost as the "Three wise men ok
Orient" followed the star that led theni
to the scene of the first Christmas, the
heart of the loyal North followed, with
daily increasing confidence and joy, the
star of victory which marked the onward
career of Sherman's conquering legions,
until it came and stood over the spot
where the war was crushed out and
Peace and Good-will were again pro
claimed to all the people of the land.
We have a right to a most merry and
happy Christmas. A nation like ours,
restored to tranquility and union from
the turmoils of civil war, with our
nationalrightsonimpaired and our name
more illustrious than before, has good
cause to rejoice.. A country,for the first
time in its history really free, must be
glad. And we see those tokens of grate
ful gladnessevery where. The busy shops,
the crowded streets, the bustling mar
kets, the bright faces of happy children,
the Christmas garlands all tell the one
tale of good news, that our Christmas
season has come back to us in its old
way, and that - the sadness that was in
separable from our time of civil war has
forever passed away.
Christmas brings one duty with it,
which shfiuld never be, and rarely is,
forgotten—remember the poor. In a
city, blessed as ours is with such
abounding prosperity, there should be no
dwelling so'lowly, no household so poor
as not to be remembered in the general re
joicing and thanksgiving. Let , our
.sense of the blessing of returning Peace
manifest itself in a practical Good-will
to the poor and destitute and friendless,
wherever they may be found. , •
NORTH AND SORTIE
We hope for the time' when we shall
"know no North—no South." We hope
for the speedy removal of all those roots
of sectional bitterness which have trou
bled us as a nation for these long thirty
yeaxs past, and which. have borne such
bloody fruit in these later days, But
- we can only hope for a real national
harmony and fraternity when the causes
of dissension are thoroughly done away.
There must be a radical change in the
attitude of the'South towards the North,
and there must be, on the . part of the
North, a quiet, uncompromising, invin
cible adherence to those principles of
freedom and truth upon which the great
battle has been fought and won. The
South must not hope to rine the North,
nor the North desire to rule the South,
as such. Each, according to its pro
portionate size and power, - must exert
its proper influence' upon -the general
affairs of the country, and the extent of
that influence must be determined by
the ielative industry and enterprise of
the different States. ,
We have always opposed everything
like a compromise in the adjustment of
these new relations of the rebel States to
the Union, and we are glad to see that
the leading members of Congress are de
termined that the wounds of the coun
try shall not only bu healed over, but
that the diseases of . the country shall be
r a dically cured. The speech of Hon.
Mr. Wilpon, in the Senate on Thursday,
was a bold and eloquent expression of
this determination, and it will stir the
whole North with its patriotic and fear
less Utterances. Every daY'sintelligence
from the South is new evidence that .
while the fat;f of the failure of the
rebellion is Cverywhere. accepted, and
while everywhere aeindtted that by
its chosen arbiter, war, :the policy. and
purpose of the South - as •'been forever,
tondennied,' there is nnichior the South
yet tqleain, particularly in` its 'relations
to thPefour. 1 4 111 9ffdf.ifra `i1e,1 54 3' , freed

ER 23; 1865.
The rebellion has cott the country too
much to
rn alloyof any mistaken conser
vatism
s
vatis in'te settlement of the ques
tions and relations towhich it has given
rise. Senator Wilson speaks ' simple,
albeit unpalateable truth when he
says : •
"We have had a conflict of twenty-five
years of ideas and of thoughts—words and
thoughts stronger, than cannon-balls, and
we have _had „four .years of bloody 'war.
SlaVery,and everything that belongs to or
pertains to it, lies prostrate before us to-day,
and the foot of a regenerated nation . is upon
it. hope no words are to be uttered
and no steps to be taken of a; reactionaiy
character. 1 pope nothing that goes by the
name of the worst word inithe English Inn
guage—covservatisnt--is to be allowed here.
If there is a word in the English language
that means twenty years of, servility, it is
that word conservative. It ought not to be
on the lips of an American. citizen. I hope,
too, sir, that we are not to make apologies
here. The way to settle the 'question is to
say to the rebels, "We don't want to degrade
you. We have resisted you twenty years
—your aggressive . policy of slavery, and
your barbarian robbers. We bore the dis
honor and disgrace of your policy; 'you
plunged lin into four years of bloody civil
war to perpetuate slavery, to make the ideas
of slavery dominant in Christian, and Re
publican America. We resisted your aggres
skais before the people. We shrunk not
from civil war. We met the contest. You
fought bravely—worthy of a better cause,
but yon were defeated, crushed, annihilated,
ground to powder. Not a flag of yours
waves between the Capitol and the Rio
Grande. Not a' rebel soldier bears a bayonet
anywhere."
This is plain, honest talk, and it con
veys nothing more nor less than
what the loyal masses of the country
wish to have said to their fellow-citizens,
- whom they are bringing back
to their "practical relations to
the Union." Our past history
of compromises and conservatism is
such a record of humiliating failure that
nothing but the purest folly and mad
ness will desire to 'repeat those experi
ments. We must base our future policy
only upon what is right, "whether men
will hear or whether they will forbear,"
and Mr. Wilson's key-note will meet
:with a perfectly harmonious echo from
right-minded people throughout the
country. He tells the South what we
have done, and also what we yet mean
to do, and we believe that this present
Congress will not adjourn before his
words have passed into the form of law.
The freedmen of the South need the pro
tection which he promises them, and
they will surely receive it. It is in a
spirit of the simplest justice to the
Oppressed, and notof unnecessary dicta,
tion to those who may otherwise con
tinue to be their oppressors that he
Bays: •
"We do not seek your lives or your blood,
and you have but little property, for us to
seek if we would. All we ask is this, and
this we shall ask,*as sure 11.9 God rules the
World. The men emancipated by war,
emancipated by legislation, emancipated by
the proclamation of themartyred President,
emancipated by that grand amendment of
the Constitution,weshall havediese men as
free as you are, to tread proudly their na
tive hilts. I want every rebel, and every
rebel sympathizer, every repentant and un
repentant rebel in the lana i to understand
that the:loyal men of this *country who
voted their blood , and treasure, and whp,.s
gave their sons for the preservation of the
Union and the cane() of liberty, have sworn
it. They have written it on, the lids of their
Bibles, they have engraved it on their door
posts, that these men shall be free—indeed
not serfs, not slaves—and that no black
laws or unfriendly legislation shall live on
the statute books of any community in
America."
The inevitable demoralization -result
ing from war is exhibiting its fruits at
present. Crim6 committed lot only ,
against property,but against persons,are
frequent, and scoundrels have assumed
a boldness or a desperation in the com
mission of outrages that amaze and
alarm good citizens. Burglaries are
common, highway robberies have been
committed in broad day in the vicinity
of the beautiful suburb of Germantown;
footpads stop citizens in our, most fre
quented streets, and there plunder
them, and last night as early as eleven
o'clock a gentleman was seized by two
highwaymen, , at. Twelfth. and Spring
Garden streets, and robbed of the valua
bles about his person. This is an alarm
ing condition of things, and it calls for
prompt and decisive remedies. The .
judges of the Court of Quarter Sessions
do not fail to do their duty by imposing
the full penalty of the law upon all who
are convicted of violent crimes, and the
rest must be a ruatter of police. We
have freq ently urged in the columns of
i
the Bum, TIN that the authorities should
act upon the principle of prevention
being better than cure, and rid the corn-
Munity of the notorious vagabonds and
ruffians who swagger though the streets
and crowd into the city railway cars.
This,• we are • persuaded, would be the
*Most effectual way of ' checking the evil,-
andlif our present vagrant laws are not
sufficient for the purpose, we trust that
'the Legislature may be 'induced to pass
More effective enactments'; during its
coming session. We' ;trust, tOo,' that
Mayor McMichael will see to - , their,

that there may benOoEtw, Irish' tender

AMERICANS ES PARIS.
In the published accounts of the
grand ThanisgivingPinner at the
Grand hi Pails, only partial
justice is done to,,our townsman, James
L. Claghorn, Esq., to whose public
spirit- and' energy the Americans in
Paris were almost ticlusively indebted
for the splendid fete Iwhich proved the
handsomest affair ever attempted by our
countrymen in France. Claghorri
had so recently arrivedin Paris as to be
almost„ an entire strAnger there; but
upon learning that no public demonstra
tionwas' tol , be made upon the day of
our National Thanksgiving, he imme
kliately addressed himself to supplying
the omission. He was promptly and
ably seconded by Mr. Munroe, the Paris
banker; Mr. c.S.BOWles;the well-known
representative of the •Sanitary Commis
sion; Hon. 'John Jay, of New York, and
'other American gentlemen, and the re
suit was the Superb banquet, the details
of vihich we published yesterday. The
"hymn” referred to, as sung at the
close of the evening, was Mr. Boker's
hymn, written for 'the tnion League
celebration of the last Fourth of July,
! printed copies of which were furnished
to the guests.
Mr. Claghorn is one of our live men,
who; while travelingabroad for his own
pleasure, never forgets that he is an
American citizen, and his numerous
friends will be gratified to see howvigor
ously and successfully he is doing his
part to maintain abroad the credit of his
native city and country.
