The papers to be published on ehristmas-day will all contain - brilliant articles on the time tonored customs of Christmas In all the civil ized countries of the Globe ; some of the best writers in the country having been employed to prepare them. Among these 1.. may mention 'Charles Dawson /Manley,- Clarence-Cooki-John - P. J. Hassard, and a- Mr. Pomber, a young Eng lishman, a recent importation from the Old Country, who has run here but a few weeks, Making studies of. New York mysteries, andi writing sketches thereof for the Tribune, the At lantic Alonthly, and one or two-English periodi cals. The Tribune Christmas article will be unea sily long and uunsuallyinteresting. - It will corn-- prise a chapter on Christmai in New York, by Brassard, Christmas in Pennsylvania, by Benham mer,'Chriatmas in England; by Pember, - with the German Christmas, the French Christmas, the Holland Chrlstmas, and a short sketch of all the historicid Christmases shim the Norman Con quest,--by McAlpine. The Times llemild, World and Bun will each • have an exliaustive article on the same general subject, the whole feuding a volume of Christ mas literature excelling in extent and,quality of material anything everheretofore published.., Throughout the Metropolitan District, ev4,3ry , effort is being made by the charitable to secure for the poor a few of the comearb3 needed to make Christmas othappy day for them. IL-in imireCestw sary for me to say that if the millions and hun dreds of millions in the hands of the Vanderbilts, the Brews, the. Asters, the Stewarts, the Jerome and a score of other residentswhoo rival in wealth old Indies of old, not one million has -been sub scribed for the purchase - Cif a dinner for_the poor;_ not even half e. million has lieen given; and to be I brief, may offer it as - my honest opnion that ssoo,Will represent the sum.total of the moneys contributed by these favorites of fortune for the alleviation of the miaeries_of the sick and deed tnte on the coming Christmas day. Mr. Motley's lecture before the Historical Society a few evenings ago, has been the subject, of some criticism in the newspapers. This is owing to the fact, perhaps, , that the reports given to the preee were incomplete, and-do not-do-justice to the author. The omissions madein thesereports are numerous and important. Mr. . tley is well known, all over the world, as _ a - f end, of republican government, a friend of liberty; and I am assured,that.when the entire address is,-.pub lished bY_thd society before whom it was fie livered, it will be plainly shown that its anther is a friend of the Hungarians. whose affairs he has carefully studied, and that he has done them am ple justice. Some of the reportelkalte it appear that Mr. Motley's opinions are governed by those in vogue atEuropean courts; but as a historian, be IS too well aware of the importance of strict impartiality in historical researches to allow his judgment to be thus biased. --f-•--- - - -- W. Colfax, the Vice President elect, was in the city last nighteand Was called upon by a large number of prominent citizens. At the ban quet whit% the Philadelphia Union League gave him on Saturday nlght,he tersely and handsomely recognized the national demand upon the in coming adthinistration. He said: 'The most searching retrenchment, honesty, efficiency and, higher character in all connected with the public service; rigid guardianship of the treasury against unwise i and extravagant echemee of financial policy; which -shall maintain our- credit undi miniehed, appreciate our envoi:icy, and.place ns on the firm rock of specie payments-'-these are objects which the new administration shall labor to secure." These are golden worde,right worthy of .the high official who utters them, and of the adininistration whose motto should henceforth be adopted by the great party which places it in power. ,--- Horace Greeley prints in yesterday's Tribune a p , . three-colunin reply to the recent speech of Sena tor Morton. of Indiana, on the currency ques tion. The indefatigable old patriot who watches ~..1- election returns and national debt figures with the eagernees of one who, unlike the Ghost in Hamlet, bath speculation in his eye, appreciates in.the main the arguments of the distinguished Senator in his great speech, bat takes strong ' ground against him on the subject of prompt r resumption; holding as he always has held since ft;the national debt began to grow so alarmingly, 10 that the Government should begin at once to re . same on its seventy millions of cobs, and to pro- v.& further means of maintaining specie pay ments. His argument is very plain and simple and straightforward, as all that Horace Greeley - writes or sass must be, and will undoubtedly It ye its effect upon the Congress of the United 8 ass during the present session. Whatever may he said of the old man's vagaries, it whet alwayb be admitted by thinking men that his -views on public questions are honest, and that rovhatever be Buys or wishes on these questions is prompted by au earnest desire to promote and 4, maintain the national welfare. For some weeks past, Henry Ward Beecher --7 Lae been delivering, from the Plymouth pulpit, the most scathing denunciations of oar corrupt 4 judiciary. In one of his recent sermons he used 4 expressions to which exception was taken by a rash;;, ou.ag man, a lawyer named Peckham,a son of Jo , st Peckham, of Albany. This young limb of the law vented his anger and his rhetoric in a very sharp letter to Mr. Beecher, whereupon the distinguished pnlpit-orator replied in a emetic epistle, a copy of which I have just had the plea sure of reading. It Is a valuable document, ,_ whether viewed from a literary standpoint or considered in connection with its bearing upon public morals. You may judge of the general - tenor 01 the letter by the few sharp pungent sea , knee which I subjoin: "The corruption which begins in New York cannot be kept there. The poison once introduced will circulate through the - . whole system. - The larger inland cities will aeon show signs of deterioration and the most rural of ' `districts will gradually become infected. The ~ tone of judicial honor will steadily fall; Judges will cease to have a high standard of duty; as their conscience loses delicacy they will perform, without compunction, acts which would have made the illustrious men of a past judiciary shudder, until all Mews of right and wrong will - . have sank so low that when notorious corruption ;I , is reprehended, civilians will be found ltke your ,'.., ,'• self, who, in the extreme of innocent uncen- S e • scioneness, cannot dream what men mean by f !,., . thinking those judges to be corrupt who only -, use their courts as instruments of pleasing their . . friends, as partisan political engines, as means of 0 ' enriching their latent partners, and of swelling l'• the fortunes of sons and_lonesin.law, and- who -- 'e, bring the practice - of the law to such a condition -1 IA that young men of high anti sensitive honor are ',, at their wits' end to know how to pursue their .- vocation end yet maintain their manhood un - ashamed." Qaiterman & Bros., silk merchants of Leonard ,-• street, were arrested on the 18th instant by Mar • shal Murray, charged with smuggling dike to the - value el 0525,000 in boxes purporting to contain clocks.

Zwo allltons Worth of Property tyrom the Chicago Post of Deo.lBth.l We understand that the prbrier authorities of the city arc-engaged In e.xamining into certain fraudulent transactions connected with the real estate of Chicago; and thatprogress enough has m been ade in the inquiry to justify the belief that property to the amount of tally two millions of , dollars has'. by parties unkn'own, been stolen by means of fraudulent tax Mica and forged deeds, for the benefit of whosoever may have been con cerned: We are not. et in possession of all the facts, but it appetite from what we have teamed, that many cases of robbery involving large tracts of property inside the - city limits have been sus pected, and that among these are the following as samples of more Eighty acres of ',land, the property of the city near Brighton. This is covered by a forged or fraudulent deed to one David . Stark, whois be lieved to be a myth. ' - We are without the date of the alleged transfer,but the tnuisrictiOn is a re- cent one. David Stark'appears to' bo &careless owner. Once In possession of his property he neglected to pay taxes. As a consequence ,the land has 'been sold again and again for these dues, and is now covered by tax titles, the worth of which, though they stand , in , various: names,;, somebody doubtless knows. The last transfer appears to be by one Walter S. Frazier, once in - the - tmploymentof -- Ourcity, to Isaac - Cook, - the consideration being $l. - How Mr. Frazier came by the right to make a deed will be a proper sub- ,. jeer for inquiry.; In relatien to this tract,-the Ob ject of the conspirators seems to have been plain, to„ get the proper - W*6Y' means of a forged - deed-from• the city out' a - of the eity's - possesidon, and then to allow title to be , forfeited by frequent _tax sales andthe•right of-possession. -Of -course all these will be vitiated by, the primary fraud. But somebody han-beerwor -somebody might be victimized nevertheless. In the North Division, between Clark and La Salle streets,ls a large tract of city propertyoow having on•lt thirty-Mght houses, vvhich also pears toltave been stolen by means of a forged deed.froli,the:city,to onelra Judd;,who is like Daniel Starietniknown and unfindable. The con sideration in this,case was also 43.1; and the mode of perfecting, or rather of accumulating, evi dences of-tide seem to have been - akin to, if not identical with, that.adopted by those who mani pulated the tract at Brighton. We are sorry to know that severtd_estimabloAitizens, among whom are Mr.; Latina . , the architect, and Robert Lincoln, son of the late President, are likely to be sufferers , by the fraud, they having hi good faith pnrchatod lots in the tract in 'question. The value of the property is very great. A large piece of land, in the' adjoining town of Palos,has also been run. sway with. A deed of this was milde_ to the city by a distinguished-citi zen, Pose - dead. - ---W - . H. Brown, Esq. - Bat this deed, thongkAposited in the.., arm/ins by Mr. Brownoiever was redorded.

And then certain parties, as yet 'nameless, wont to work to get a quit claim from the owner who deeded it to Brown, and, after - this .was accom plished, the machinery of tat sales and tax bills was resorted to, and with the usual success. These - are specimen bricks; but how many more there may be,.in the pile we have not learned. It is evident on the tare of these trans actions that some man who was familiar with the city business, who had an intimate knowledge of its real property, and who had access to the papers, has_ had n share, if not the sole agency, in these frauds. At the time they. were corn- • milted; the value of the lots and lands stolen was not large; but the advance of property in the last few years has been BO great, that the supposed prresent worth $2 of the gOOO. round in dispute cannot b less than ,000, , , [Translated Ph for th e iladelphia Evening Bulletin.)

Try to buy the chuck ribs of a fine beef and prepare as follow e: Chuck-ribs and vegetables; divide the - piece of, bees if too 'large. 'Mace the whole in a pot or earthen jar, surrounded and covered with coarse salt, cover the pot, and leave for five or six days. • To cook, relieve it of the salt, wash slightly in soft water uud bet it to cook in a large kettle or earthenware pot, without too much water; when the foam has risen, season with a little onion stuck over with cloves, and with a bay-leaf; let it bon an hour, then stir in plenty of (blanched) cabbage, carrots, turnips, potatoes, &e., and allow them to cork gently until done. At the time of serving, make a butter-sanee without browning it too much, mixing it with the remains of the water in which the beef and vegetables were cooked: season with salt and pepper, if necessary: let it simmer down, and servo in a large man. the vegetables beneath, the meat upon them, a part of the sauce poured over, and the rest in a boat. There, lattice, permit me to recommend this excellent preparation, fit to be eaten in the palace or the cottage.-:—Petit Journal. Recovery oit Dr. Rctiostes Morse. The Trenton GaZElle pubilsties the following story of the recovery of the horse stolen from Dr. McCosh a few days ago: "The $1,500 horse, presented to Dr. McCosh,of Princeton College, by Mr. Bonner, of the New York Ldeger, anti recently stolen from his sta bles, was recovered by Officer Brown, of,the Trenton 'Police force,' yesterday. Mr. Brown ••re- - celved information which led him to believe that the horse was in the custody of a man named Abbot, a farmer living out on the Sand town road, andgoing out there on Thursday night, be demanded the horse. Mr. Ab bott refnstd to surrender the horse in the night time, BC) Prom/Auld - hits lib:should hold hica=re sponsible for the animal, and returned to this city. He went out agate yesterday and pro moted the horse. Abbott says he found it stand ing at his gate. Dr.: McCosh had offered $59 re we'd for the recovery of the horse, which Mr. Brown will recover. .Attached to the horse,when Mr. Abbott found him tied to his gate, was a light buggy and a set of harness, which dre now at the tiampson House, in Broad street, awaiting the owners. Debating Societies. oThe young men in country towns are, now beginning to come together for the purpose of arguing whether L►fayette or Washington Is moat to be commended; whether the hope of reward or the fear of punishment- IL - the most potent• influence, and other import:tint questions of a similar character. Many of our public men have gained their best training for public speaking in lyceums: and these should by all means be, encouraged. But there is one usual characteristic of them which might be charged for the better. It neither makes philosophers nor ,candid men out of young persons, to place them on one side of a question and require them to argue that side stricly without regard to their ofvn convictions or to the facts of history or expe rience. Let the name "debating soeiety" be dropped; let the idea of debate be discarded, and let discussion take its place. Debate sometimes develops partisanship, falsehood, subterfuge and personalities. Discussion de velops argument, analysis, love for truth and balance of judgment. Let, therefore, the question or the subject be proposed, and let each-man spealr his own convictions upon it. There will be sufficientdifference of opinion on any subject in any club, and the speakers who differ should alternate, to give spirit to the discussion; but it should be the object of. each, not to get the advantage of his oppti- - nent, but to find out the truth. The world le sufficiently divided about questions of religion and questions of public policy, or if these are excludes—as it is very proper that they should ,ba in a purely social gathering—about ques - tions of science, of art, of metaphysics and history, to give enough variety of sentiment and opportunity tor debate. One who be lieves what he says speaks earnestly, and is ULLintir-PRILADELPHIA. not apt to indulge in mere words devoid of thought. Many of our debating societies, as now conducted, give simply an education in false speaking, bigotry and unscrupulous par- There is an idea abroad' that this practice - makes good 'lawyers and good politicians. Even that is, a mistake., The most effective lawyer with .a Jury is he who is - evidently can did, and who, instead of trying to make the best of the bad aspects of his case, glossing them over with falsehoods, and belittling the just claims of the other side, lesiva these un noticed, and devotes himself to the real me rits of his own: - case and to the evident de fects in that of the opposite party. : The most effective political speaker is he who candidly admits that which is creditable to his opponents, and who evidently aims, conscientiously, from /1113 own standpoint to search out and to point out,to others that course which, in his opinion, is really for the best. The issues of our political'contests are of too momentous a nature to be treated by any speaker frivolously, as though they were the questions of a debating club. - Young men, then, should devote themselves to dis cussion rather than to_ debate, and try to get at the truth in all things. They will flnd this quite as efficacious-in — whetting - their= Intel - - - leas, and much more - likely to make useful men of them, than, inventing sophistries and indulging in the tricks of disputatious lawyers and petty wrangleri. , ' - t,clarevve GoivEM. , .

I looked him in the eye as calmly as I could and told him that I did not think he had 'em yet, but was in a fair way to have t ech if he kept en. "Hooray, Grant's ahead! Where's your Seemer and Blar men, now?" he shouted, as he darted off. No. 8 had hold of me in another second. "Do you think we've got 'em?" he de- Yes got 'em bath' I replied, fori_waa_be-_ ginning to think I had landed among a com munity of lunatics. "Then we'll rally round the flag; , boys, rally once again," he sang, and commenced dancing the grand rigadoon, with Jim Crow variations on the sidewalk, winking diaboli cally at me every time he swung around. I made a desperate bolt for the door, but was caught a fourth time and pulled towards the entrance of the saloon. 'Take a'drink, stranger," said my captor, who proved to be No. 1. "Here, you black republican,-cQme up and take a drink with us," he shouted': as my interlocutor No. 2 hove in sight again. No. 2 came up, and N 0.3 joined us,and we all took a drink. Just as No. I set down his glass he said, "So you are sure we've got 'em, are you?" "You bet," Was my unhesitating reply: "I have bet all I had on earth," he said. "Why, you said, we got 'em," said No. 2, with astonishment not unmixed with sus- pleion of having been' played depicted on his countenance. "Well, so you have got 'em—all got 'epa— got 'em worse than anyerowd I ever saw be fore in my life," I exclaimed. Would you believe it, Nos. 1, 2 and 3 corn menced cursing in chorus like so many Mexi- can bandits,and denouncing me as a bilk and a swindler ? "Blast Lim, let's duck him," said No. 2. ' "Yes, but let him pay for the drinks first," said No. 1. "That's the talk," said No. 3,emphatically. I paid for the drinks as meekly as a child,' and seizing my carpet-bag beat a masterly retreat, neuer stopping until "reached the \cor ner of J and Seventh streets, and got inside a. room at the Capitol Hotel, locked the doer, and placed all the movable furniture in the room against it. I am perfectly sure that whatever may have been the issue of the election in California, the entire population of Sacramento had 'em that night, sad had 'em bad. Talk of San Francisco earthquakes!
