'(From O ir l:;jiil;r Correspondent.)
WAtfiiixoTox, 1. C. Jan. 1, 1631.
.To-day VXt w Vtar ::Ils, in Washing
ton, were a repetition of a familiar pro
gramme.! The President, Cabinet Officers,
Jndges of the Snpreme Court nearly
everybotly, official a.nd ' nou-offical, re
ceived them ; bnt calls were less numer
ous than usual, because of. the intensely
disagreeable weather. New Year recep
tions at the 'Capitol are god, if for no
other purpose, to display the imposing
reserve strength of the army and navy.
It has been the policy of our government
to bring chiefs of Indian- tribes to the
large Eastern cities, in order to ; impress
them with the strength of our population.
tho extent of our resources, and the
hopelessness of their cause in the irre
pressible couflict. 'Hiis policy .has had
no ajipnrent effect upon Indian. wars, be
cause the savage is" unable to distinguish
those who have been taught Freuch and
waltzing, to qualify them for their execu
tioners, aud the shop-keepers aud dandies
who promiuado Pennsylvania Avenue.
The accomplished "pups of war" from
West Ppiut, aud the exquisite civilian,
look precisely alike when the former are
masquerading iu citizen's dress, as is their
custom for three hundred and sixty-four
days of the year. The way to make the
army impressive and effective would be
to bring the Indians here on tho first day
of the year, and let them see our military
officers in their warlike panoply.. They
would then realize, from their epauletts,
scarfs, gold braid, and buttons, what ter
ribly destructive fellows they are, aud
what a numerons reserve we keep at the
Capitol, with Pennsylvania Avenue as
our line of defence.
But the New Year official ceremonies.
are instructive and impressive in at least
oue other way. We are reminded on the
first day of the year that we have foreign
relations; that we, as a people, do m t
live to ourselves, nor order the fashion of
our national household ; that republican
: : - ... a.
ism is nut rsucu a new departure as en
thusiastic opt ion ist once hoped aud be
lieved it to be: that, in spite of the
discovery of a new Continent, the width
of the Atlantic Oceau, and our vauutid
secession from moi;arcl,i.tl forms aud
formalities,rwe are compelled to servilely
copy that which the "effete despotisms''
perpetuate ouly as a venerable tradition.
When we see the foreign diplomatic corps,
the gorgeous embassadors of Uussia,
Turkey, Austria, Denmark, and the Fee
jee Islands, with their numerous attachees,
any one of them with, twice as much gob
braid aud tinsel as our own resplendent
. l .
array nuu uavai omcers, our minds are
carried back to the. day of Talleyruii
and MatteriHch, or further, to the ages ol
Kichelieu or Maechiavijle, when the poll
cies of nations were not discussed, ant
the secrets of courts were not anticipated
ami exjoscd by the press, cabled to the
fonr quarters of the globe for the infor
mation first of all the world, and finally
for the enlightenment of the Diplomats
When we Ree the modern embassador in
his arduous aud delicate diplomatic work
of calling at the White House one day o
the three hundred and sixty -live, present
ing hFs compliments to the President
wishing him and Mrs. Hayes a happy uew
year, our hearts (not our pockets) may
swell with the reflection that, in spite of
the press, steam, t!ieAtlanlic Ocean, and
the Atlantic Cables, we, also, have the
proud privilege of paying six million a
year, at foreign courts, in support of this
venerable, anteque, useless, mimicry o
diplomacy.
Paris Letter.
(Regular Coweipondence.)
Paris, Frauce, Dec. 20, 1880.
It seems that tlie papier war which has
been waging this w eek between the Tri
boulet and the Ganh is relative to the Jew
ish qnestiou is not to be coufined this
time to winged words," but is likely to
assume a more serious aspect. Baron
Harden Hickey, the American citizen who
was excelled from Prance a feiv months
ago for his connection w ith the illus'tra
ted Tribonlct, ami who is part proprietor
anu editor of thy daily paper of the same
name", has just addressed a strong letter
to M. Arthur Meyer, editor of the Gaulris
In this epistle the Baron expresses- an
opinion that enough black ink has been
spilt, and oilers, if M J Meyer is agreeable
to write the word finU" in red ink.
"Sinco you are so ambjtious of the glory
of defending the honor of the tribe of Ju
dah," continues M. ilardeu Hickey, it
Avould hardly leucfjt ine to refrain froin
teiliug you that I am jwrfectly ready to
cross swords with you for my Gol, who
is that of the Christiab. I therefore beg
yon, moiisienr, to recei ve two of my friends
who will call on yon for tho purpose of
demanding a ftipnal retractation of the
insults that you have! written with regard
to the TribouUt, of which I am editor-in-chief,
or a reparation by anus." The
challenge is couched in vigorons lanua re
but there seems to bej tjome confusion of
ideas as to the subject of the insult. In
oue sentence the. Barou poses as a kind
of mediaval crusader,! ready to do battle
for the GkI of the Christians, in the. oth
er as the avenger of that clever but hard
ly wicred oracle, the Tribulet. The amus
ing fact of the whole jlhiug is that both

From tas CUureh Messenger.
THE ljicnxsi2 LAW.
Mr. EniTon:ll am glad to find a de
partment in the Messenyer devoted to the
special consideration of intemperance.
This great moral and social evil seems to
be so much on the increase, that every
well-wisher to ijiis race ought to.be ready
to consider carefully what can be done to
mitigate its control ing influence.
Now, I am inclined to think that the
most potent of all causes, for the increase
of intemperance, is found in the existing
lice'nse law. By this law, men are en
couraged to opeh places of resort where
every temptation to excess is presented,
and this, underiihe full sanction and au
thority of law. That law, which Was
originally designed to regulate, restrain
and lessen the tfvi!, becomes, by 'its pres
ent npplieationj the great promoter and
enconrnger of djl-unkeuncs.".
And here the question naturally arises.
Why should men thus receive the author
ization ot law t i strike at the true welfare
of their fellow men ? Is the revenue de
rived from this law to bo urged as an
apology for what is thus spreading ruin
aud desolation bn every sido of us ? Sure
ly this is a veri poor exchange. Now to
those w ho are willing to attach weight to
so feeble -and sellish an argument., let mo
urge the very Weighty consideration that
what tlie Statej pa.vst'or the prosecution
and punishment of those crimes which
are the direct esri!t of intemperance, is
largely iH excess of all. that is received
from the licensp law. Ami is it fair that
men should bc.!thtisuiuthori.ed, not only
tj add so greatly to the sum of human
misery, but to lay heavy taxes upon oth
ers, iu connection with thu crime and the
poverty which these licensed resorts are
the chief nieahs of producing? These
legalized salooijis are the great sources of
all this mischiejf. Aud I believe there are
thousands, whoj now frequent these places,
who will be only too thankful ;to have
such temptatiohs taken out of their way.
Men drink very often, not because thev
desire to do so,
proposes a soci
to be the right
vita tion thus
but because some friend
il glass, and it i thought
thing to respond to the in-
veu. There are very many
jiersons who come into our towns and
day, who by the attractions
of these licenscjd shops, or the invitation
of some false fiieud, aro enticed to wasfe
the money wlifch their famjlies need, and
and are seirt home cn.zed and debased by
driuk.
The remedy then is not far to cek.
Shut up those liceused resorts these
chambers vhleh lead to death aud hell,
and we have stjruck au effective blow at
this colossal ejvil. The habit of dram
drinking is bail enougli anywhere, but it
is not so nmclj what men drink at their
own homes, a the enticing, corrupting
aud debasing cjlu'cts of licensed saloons,
which does tlwji chief mischief. If then,
as good citizen, we Would abate this great
evil, let us begjin by attacking the princi
pal source of dHuger, and multitudes who
are now victimized, iu this way, will rise
up and bless the men who have removed
out of their vvay a temptation, which they
have been uniible. to.: resist. Here it is

C. thinks that insult, to somo people, is

Taking him : for authority, it appenrk
that a citizen ichen not sober hni no

But as this theory of Mr. Cs "is too ab
surd for anything"-- except for Hvftatijt
is obviously intended a mud plaster fdr
the mouths (or pens) of such I wil ndt
trouble you, Mr. Editor, for statistics iiu
relation to it. ' -'.I -j:
Mr. C says: "I have seen dry good,
agricultural implements, buggies &c oln
the 8ide-walksof Baltimore.Philadelnhia.
and New York ; and custom, if not lab,
has sanctioned aud encouraged such ex
hibitions. If ho. why should snch exlif

This bold demand for illegal privileges, I
will not now discuss j I deny, however,
that such nsages are encouraged or eveja
Kanctioned but rather cursed by the pub
lic where (in huge cities) theyjiave jrarje,
ephemeral, spasmodic aud peculiar local
existences, through the connivance bf
law-ollicers whose probity is uot ubotfo
price. By a parity of reasoning, maUy
odious usages in large cities, "sanction

it is not necessary to go oat of this State
to find towns, where mo obstruction to

ami ousiuess macninerv moves more
uniformly and smoothly in consequence.
Those only who really "know how to rule
are. most ardent in their fealtv to strict
law. " j
Again, leaving "egotism and (the
other) hardware merchants" out of tlie
question, I think Mr. C. puts too fiueia
pom ton tlie matter when he makes as
sessment on the gratrtude of the public
for tho gtfod he has done this town, by
transacting business wholly m his oVu
interest. !
Probably no one is, pcrsonallv, so iu-
diflerent to street obstacles as mvsclf. i I
have been hurt by no illegal side-path
occupant cxecpr, oil several -occasions,
by a plough that was- planted
along-sute the rear side door ot Mr. 0

sob?re.er.v time that it damaged inc. Am',
1 may Siiy that, on each occasion. I ill
dulged in very recondite ppeculations as
to tlie occult purpose for which it was
placed there; but wholly failed to crolye
a plausible solution.
Mr. Editor, you published the hiw
relative to permanent street obstruction :
this ought to br enough to prevent tamb-
ering witn lr, winioar reierence "to tlie
decisions of the powers that be." Yu
also showed, by t he evidence of Const i
hle KLntts, that the Mayor is recreant to
duty, in not enforcing this ordinance. I
now ask if that, fiiuctiouary is above iih
pcachmciit for neglect , partiality and
caprice in the use.ot powers conferred ;i
him and tlie important; duties aud re
sponsibilities intrusted to his charge;
Also, if impeachment is possible, can ic
be ejected on conviction of dereliction?
Or is the position, as he has been heard
to boastfully say. assured to him las
long as he wants it ?
These and previous strictures pro not
prompted by carping ill-will to any out' ;
and no personal interest of mine can jbe
served Ly them, higher than that com

We are not sure about the impeach

is more than likely that his term would
