Tb interchange of Christmas proscnts Ss a cus tom to firmly rooted and well established that it hat almost as iuhcU force m inexora ble law. It it, moicover, a custom that kaa much to commend it, at it engenders good and kindly 'feeling, to y nothing of Chriftirolzrng inffnenoow. . la regard to politic, pernaps mire nuvvr waa a greater calm. The lending politician and tbe knowing ones are all in n bad way, politically, owing to tbe continued silence of Gen. Grant, who seems to enp ms own counsel in regard to bis Calsinct aud the policy of bis ailniinintrution, as he did before tbe election, when bis opponents urged tliat his reticence was a matter of policy. Mark Twain says that tbu General's only answer to tbe numerous questions put tn him is, in variably, "Let us have peace," and the im pression is almost ntnvoran'I that when tbu General says "Let us have ponce" be means that wo shall have it, and tlio sooner tbe Southern fire-eaters make up their minds' to submit to law t'.nd order, aud behave them selves, the better it will be for them. It U a roost singular fact that everybody seems satisfied with the election. Andy Johnson's Message Cuds but little favor; eveu among his former supporters. A mutual friend, a Democrat, conversing with Judgo Black, this morning, asked him iflio did not consider tho lail Measugo o gnod one f Tbe Judge elsook his bead. 1 sug gested that no one would accuse him of hav ing written this Message. The Judge re plied that he was obliged to acknowledge, uudcr oath, before the Committee, that ho had a band in the Veto Message, on recon struction, but lie could freely swear he had nothing to do with Andy's Inst Message to Congress. As an evidence of H ospevity lire,as every where else, real estate is rapidly advancing, and more buildings aro going up in Phila delphia thnu ever. I was pleased to hear that the prospects for tbe early completion of tlio railroad now building, fium Suubury to llazleton, is more favorable than ever. TosTMA8Tiut Geneiial Randall states that the postal revenue for the last year wai $10,292,000, and the expenditures ?22,'I30,. 592, being au excess over recuipts of $0,437, t(91. Ascompared w ith last year, the receipts have increased 6 per cent., and the expenses 13 per cent. Tlio estimates for tbe uext year.are fixed at $24,540,-113 for expenses, and $17,800,000 for receipts, leaving a de ficit to be supplied by appropriation of $0, 740,413. 383,470,500 postage stumps were old at $11,751,014, aud 44,502,300 stamped envelopes at $1,285,219. The whole number of letters received at the doaeVletter oflico during tbe year was 4,ia2,144, a decrease of 141,304 ; 2,298,100 were returned to their owners. The large excess of expenditures over receipts is looked upon as an encouraging feature of progress, and IB attributed to tbe extension of routes into all the Southern litutes and Territories. Ten years hence tho Tost Oflico will cost $40,000,000, and the receipts will not exceed $30,000,000. Attention is called to tho gtoss abuse of the franking privilege. The Secre tary will, at an early day, submit a plan for tbe reorganization of the Tost Office Depart meet. A gentleman of undoubted veracity, wri ting from Illinois, says : Whilu out bunting, two weeks ago, I was in some cornfields which beloug to a man mimed Sullivan. lie probably owns more land thun any farmer in the Btato. Jlo is tho proprietor of nine townships, each ix miles square. This year lie has twenty five tliuueaiul acres of torn. This seems like a Li storv, but is never theless true. It was just tbu easiest thing in the world to get lost in mm of bis corn fields.

Twelve national banks have been organized since the last annual report, five of which aro new "ot;ia: tions. Fourteen national bauks have tailed to redeem their circulating notes and were put into the hands of receivers. The wans and discounts made by 'the national bank ing associations amount to. $3 .351.001.C6j. The Comptroller recommends several re fo ms in the national banks. One is an ammdmoot to the act creating these asso- authorizing the Comptroller to call upon the banks for five detailed state, monts or reports during each year, fixing upon some day that is past for the date of the roport. Ho argues that the day M.ncWiud Quarterly for tho reports being nowu iu advance, tho banks preparo for them by a process ot operations which uo not present their actual working condition. And beic he takes occasion to condemn the banks for lending themselves to combina tions aud speculations for alfectiiig the money niafkpt, and faUrcularly tho practice of tho New York banks in issucing certified checks to Wall street operators. He re marks. "Taking the call loans and tbu cer tified -checks together, tho some what start ling fact is developed that tho New York national bauks furnish (duily) seventy mil lion dollars of capital and one hundred and twelve million dollars of credit for spccnla tiou." lie uraes tire establishment of a central redeeming ngency, by means of which the national bunk notes shall be re deemed and mnde convertablo into the law ful tnoucy of the country, whether it be p.v. per or gold, at the principle centre of trade. To preveul panics and Bpnculalors locking up the currency and to supply a sufficient and equable circulating medium he recom mends that the Treasury of the United States shall hold in reverse n certain amount of legal tender notes in excess of the amount in regular circulation, as a fonrce of relief, and is be let out iu times of stringency, something iu tbe same way that the Uiitish Chancellor of tlio ftxehucquer ajith' r'.ts at times the Dank of Kngland to iesuo more notes thau is Btrictly prescribed 1y its char ter. Of course the Comptroller urges a re turn of tpecio -payments, but does not tell us wlieu this can be brought about, and pru dently intimates that we must bo careful what steps are taken to thnt end. He favors free banking as soon as tbe restrictions im posed upon the issue of circulating notes by national banks may bo safely removed. He concludes by saying that w ith regard to the currency and bunking tho business public of the United States is tho only competent judge. lt'Iot't of tlte Commlstloner ol In ternal Kcvciiiic. It will be seen by the report of tho Com missioner of Internal Hevenuc, that iu tbe fiscal year ending June 30, 1808, the sum of ono hundred and niucty-onc million dollars was collected from internal revenue, the expense of collecting which was five per ceut. The heavy items in this account aro the taxes paid on tho indulgence of popular appetite. The amount received, for in siauco, from tho tax on chewing and biiio- king tobacco was, in round numbers, fifteen million of dollars. All tb railroads paid together less than seven millions, the insu rauco companies less than two millions, and tho telegraph and express companies not a million between them, so that chewing and smoking tobacco our small vices, as they nre called are really "bigger things" in the Commissioner's report than all tho railroads, telegraphs or express and iusurauco compa nies in the United States taken together. The number of cigars taxed was six hundred millions. The tax on distilled spirits and brandy netted fourteen millions, aud other liquors run tho total of the figure on htiniu lants to fully twenty millions. It is estima ted by the Commissioner that the income internul revenue for the next fiscal year will reach oue hundred and forty five million dollars. Some inipoitaut recommendations arc mailt! iu the report among them one urging tho crectiou of this portion of the Treasury Department into a department by itself. Itrpui-I of llio hm-ctary'ol'iuc lu terlor. The report on tho whole will be admitted to be satisfactory. It npprars that 6,005,742, 50 lie res of public binds have been disposed of, thus leaving still iu the bands of the Govcrment 1,405, jOG,C78 acres. Ono Revo lutionary soldier is still living. During the Inst fiscal year there was paid to invalid military soldiers and dependant relatives the sum of $22,058,508 ami to navy invalids tbe sum of $352,363. That part ot the re port which refers to the I'ucilic railroad will l.o found at once interesting and instructive. It has already cost u large sum of money to the nation, but the result will be one of tbc triumphs of the age. To United States marshals has been paid $1,337,043 and to district attorneys, assistants, Arc, and Uni ted Stutes ciiniuiissioneis the aggregate amount of $1,789,177. The Kecretary dreads a deficit unless the fines be increased.

The people have given up their arms tt the government. The troops now hold all the quarters of the city. Tho Corrfijninttcnrin of Madrid says the Duke of Moutpcusier had previously 'made an oiler of peisoual services to the Provi sional Covernment to assist in suppressing the revolt in Cadiz, and that this action on tho part of the Duke was piomplcd by the belief that it was a movement iusitigated and conducted by the Curlist parly.

The insurrection in Cadiz has terminated with the surrender of the insurgents. - Many of the people desiro to deposit their arms at the A mcricun con sulate, instead of delivering them up to the government authorities, but De Roda refused to allow it, aud held them to a strict rom pliunco with the terms of his procbiiuatiou.
