Tub Holidays. The lime U near at haciiwljcai
that mythical Dcrsonagc. Santa Claus the tute
lary patron of our Holland ancestors is expected
to make his accustomed yearly visit. The won
dcrful records wc have of his proceedings are all
of coursctobobclicved; andoncofthcjeoarratcs,
thathebas an eye both to the merits nnd theshort
comings, of nil, to that his gifts aro distributed
with a discriminating hand.
As the provider for a numerous family, laden
with weighty cares, one would naturally wipposc
that his courage would often fail him : but he nev
ertheless makes his arrangements with consum
mate tkill, and seldom overlooks those who arj
deserving of his smiles. His thoughtful caro
extends to every member of tho family. Tho
young wife, oppressed with new cares and respon
sibilities, receives romeltubstantial token of his
favor, which lightens her labor and fills her heart
wilhacratcful remembrance of his kindness. Tho
children aro especially . noticed by tho tutelary
saint, nnd his praUcs aro chanted in youthful
chorus by theso happy recipients of benefits from
his fatherly hand.
It is well, that, in our land, be makes his visits
so promptly on the return of each Christmas eve ;
for his appearance causes new joy to spring up in
tho youthful heart, and even smoothes the wrinkles
worn by care on tb brow of nge, J lie mor
al effect of this timc-lionorcd institution is not to
bo overlooked, for the mind, ns well as the body,
needs occasional relaxation, that it may gain now
life and vigor. The holidays furnish a fitting op
portunity for this unbending of tho energies ; and
in the joyous fostivitios of tho occasion, tho youth
acquire new vigor, and the old almost seem to be
coino young again.
Wo notice that our citizens aro not unmindful of
theso considerations, in their endeavors to sccuro
tho favor of Saint Nick. Tho different confec
tionary cstablihmcntn, toy stores and other plsv
ccs in our city where suitable holiday gifts aro to
be found, havo been largely patronized of late,
Kager female faces aro thronging our streets, ir
search of sotno token of regard to bo given to the
father, mother, sister, brother, or friend : and tho
infection has extended even to our Fcdato and
learned civil bodies. The Legislature has already
adjourned, several of tho courts will soon suspend
operation", nnd tho pnxpectsare that wo shall all,
more or loss, bo imbued with tho spirit of tho
timo. If any are exempted from these enjoy
inent", it will doubtless be those who fu'nish every
morning reading matter for the people; and yet,
even this class will probably find timo to rest
nwlulo from their laborious toils.
It sometimes happens that wo winh to look for a
thing, and do not know whero it can be found.
This is often the case with those who are engaged
in selecting appropriate Christmas gifts. In our
paper to-morrow morning, thcro will, howover,
be found a classified lint of the principal places at
which these articles may be procured, and by ref
erence to that column, our readers will doubtless
obtain nil the information they desire. Wc hope

Tin- Other Side of the- "Patent
Ijikt'' liirilloii I'rosiiiectH of Uood
Recr Xcxt Summer.
From tho N. Y. World.
Notwithstanding the colli, clear atmos
phere of winter has for a season decreased
the demand for lager drinkers to ascertain
the cause of the inferiority of that hcverago
last summer, and to Judge of the jirwpccts of
the future. The lxior lager was 111 many in-
ptances palmed ofl'ttpon a complaining public
is acknowledged. Hits id certainly a fact
calculated to cause the deepest anxiety
among many classes of our citizens; for
lager, hy its devotees, is deemed the very
nectar of the hencliccnt gods, making men
licaltliv, wealthy, and wise :" and whoever
would tamper with it, to destroy its flavor
nnd qualitva ml to introduce pernicious in
gredients into its composition, must merit
ami receive tlicir ilirest imprecations, it
makes men hcalthv. thev sav. for it is 1111-
j - - . - --j j
deniably productive of a clear conscience,
an iinoh'-trtictcd digestion, and a plum) and
weighty corjKiration ; it assists to wealth, for
it is the cheapest drink that is sold; it
makes men wise, for it docs not "steal away
thehrains," hut rather produces quiet, cheer
fulness, and calm reflection.
why i..(ii:rt was mo iast summer,.
Probably the true explanation of the de
terioration of lager is the fact that sonic
brewers have not tneil good or enough malt
in brewing tlicir liecr. Tho brewers were
obliged to pay very high prices for malt,
which had advanced very materially last
summer over the old prices, and which was
of an inferior quality, and in the desire for
a rapid accumulation of wealth they raised
their charges for beer and endeavored by
using more than the proper amount of water
to make their malt iro further than it would
stand. The result was that their beer was
inferior in quality, for good lager cannot be
made by any process without a sufficient
quantity of malt.
Tin: oTin:it Finn of the "rATiixT lager"
quixtiox.
This explanation is plausible enough; but
some have been disposed lo attribute bad
lager to the use of a new patent recently
introduced and employed by a Humlier of
our best brewers, by which lager ia brewed
inure cheaply and more expiditiously than
by the old method. In some few saloons
placards have been posted with the words,
"No patent Iagor sold hero," and paragraphs
have gone the rounds of the newspapers
charging that it is unhealthy, unpalatable,
and productive of various diseases. Those
brewers who aro using the patent complain
of these charges, and ask that "facts be sub
mitted to a candid world." They say that
it is very easily and very conclusively shown
that tliOf-c parties who had bad lager wero
not the parties who had "patentbecr." While
the beer was very generally bad only a few
brewers in this city had the .patent, and
therefore even those people who condemn
the patent must concedothat the greater part
of the bad beer sold must have been due to
some other cause, ami must have been
brewed by thos-c who had not tho patent
process.
Hut those who had bad beer found it very
convenient to saddle the patient with it. It
is. admitted, however, that some who had the
patent had bad beer, for the reason that they
iiad not used enough malt. It is generally
the case that about as bad lecr as can be
found is got at the places which displav the
placard. " No Patent lleer." The holders
of the patent challenge Wr drinkers tola
test of their product, and they say thev 4frc
willing to allow anyjiibulous anil ponderous.
Dutchman of the most experienced and cul
tivated taste, to compare their beer with that
produced hv other brewers, without 1eing
told which is the one or the other, and they 1
feel confident that their beer will be found
sujwior by any lieer ofl'crcd to the public A
connoisseur in lager was asked by us to state
the beer that ho considered bad, and none
of tboc dealers whom he mentioned as hav
ing poor lager had the patent process. They
claim that their method is efficient anil
harmless. They claim that it makes at least
as good lager as is offered to the public, and
that it makes it much cheaper; that it docs
not change or introduce any new ingredients,
but is simply a more purfect method of con
verting the malt into saccharine, nnd ex
tracting the hop. There is always an outcry
against any new invention, and even the
sewing machine and the mowing machine
did not escape severe aspersion ami ridicule;
but those who use this patent invariably
praise it, and say that it produces at least a's
good lieer as is produced by the usual pro
cess. Tho holders of the patent say that the
outcry against "lager" is started "by those
brcwurs who desire to purchase the privi
lege of the patent cheaper than it is now of
fered for tne inventor, knowing its value,
holds its privilege at a high price.
If out of this discussion the public ret
good lager, patent or otherwise, it will pnitH

amy -h- cavwivciv groiiiii-u. 11 js proo-
able that, during the coming season-brewers
will exhibit less cupidity in the use of malt,
tiood lager nmt lie had though the heavens
fall. It lias become a favorite drink even
among the Americans and Irish, and it is
claimed for it that it is the enemy of rum,
whisky and brandy ; that it saves us from
street quarrels from riot, from crime, from
boatlv and violent drunkenness, nnd that if
it thnll become our national drink, the genial
disposition, the unrullled temper, and the
serene demeanor of the Dutchman will be
come our national character. Its cheapness
lias leon one important cauo of its rapid in
troduction as a favorite drink, and anything
that lessens its cost 'without deteriorating its
qw'y JS of course, to be commenced. Let
this subject be carefully considered ; let the
best lager win, and still mav the, medita

Money matters in New York arc thus reported
by the Tribune of Tuesday;
Money is easier among stock honscs, and con
siderable business was uono aio per. cent, upon
miscellaneous collaterals, but the chief business
is still at "per cent. Commercial paper is not fa
vorably affected by the increased difficulty in
making 7 per cent, on call, and sells at T9 for
best, and 1015fora wide selection of names.
The bank statement shows a gain of $4,133,000 in
deposits, which represents the timid feeling among
lenders, who prefer a loss of interest to tho risks
attending speculative stocks or merchandise at its
current prjec. Upon tho ro-cssserabling of Con
gress, after the holidays, prompt action is looked
for in regard to financial affairs. Present appear
ances indicate amoncy market so abundantly sup
plied as to make the sale of gold bonds enough to
pay off every' dollar of temporary loan the Treas
ury owes vry easy, and leave the Department
with a working capital from the internal rcvcivuo
nnd customs. As soon as the temporary loans aro
funded tho way will be open for n steady contrac
tion of currency nnd a return to specie pavments.

The National Banks. Many enquiries hav
ing been made as to tho consequences of a failure
of any ono man of the Nntional Banks, author
ized by tho Government, and tlicir being some
uneasiness felt at tho report of tho failuro of four
of them in the North, wo copy tho following from
tho "commercial" of the New Orleans iVesrint,
which explains tho wholo question :
The failure of four National Banks at tho North
to redeem their circulation in U. S. treasury notes
has created a petty panio among sotno holders of
this currency. Yesterday, wo aro informed, at
least, of tho city markets, it was refused by tho
butchers. Under theso circumstances, and in or
der to prevent ill-informed holders from selling
nt a discount, tho First National Bank promptly
gavo notice, through the press, that it was ready
to redeem all National Dank issues at its coun
ter, at par, in U. S. treasury notes. In tho mean
time, some raonoy dealers were exchanging city
treasury notes for them at par, and all tho banks
and dealers were receiving them on deposit, and
in some cases, exchanging Legal tender notes for
them, to accommodato timid holders.
It is evident that tho public do not appreciate
tho fulness in tho provisions of tho National
Banking Law to save the holders of the bank cir
culation from loss. In tho first instance, the bank
is compelled to deposit with tho comptroller of
the currency United States Bonds to tho amount
of at least one third of its capital. The comptroller
then issues to the banks, in circulating notes,
ninety per cent of the market valuo of the se
curities deposited but in no case moro than par
reserving the ten per cent as a margin for the
protection, not of tho holders of the notes, but of
the Government, which, tn any rcent, is bound to
pay tho full face of the notes in lawful money of
the United States; that is, if the securities depos
ited were suddenly to become valueless, tho Gov
ernment would bo tho loser, not tho noto holder.
The proceedings in tho caie of a bank failure
are prompt and simple. The holder of the bank's
bills presents them at the counter for redemption
in lawful money. It is refused. The holdcrthen
protests them formally, and the notary sends the
protest to the Controller of tho Currency. The
Controller makes, further investigation into tho
fact, and on being sa sfltd tho failure, is
bound, within thirty days thereafter, to declare
the deposited securities forfeited to the Govern
ment, Thereupon tho Secretary of 'the Trcunry
1 required to direct tho holders of the notes of
the broken bank to present them at the United
States Treasury at .Washington, for payment.
when they will bo paid in lawfal money of the
United States. There aro other provisions in the
law to guard tho Government against essential
loss, hut, standing in tho position of endorser of
thenolei, the Government is bound to pay them
in lawful money, whatever maybe therosultto
itself.

that aro loading with goods for the South axe fre
quently crowded on Doth sides by drays fora
quarter or half a mile- and sometimes the number
having goods for ono vessel is so great that it is
impossible for them all to unload during tho day,
and the work is therefore continued in the night.
The number of vessels sailing from New York to
the ports South of Baltimore, Washington. Alcx
andria.Ac, averages more than fifty in each week,
and they comprise about two-thirds of all tho ves
sels going to ports in the United States. During
the past week, fifty-one vessels have cleared,
against forty-two of tho same week in 185(3, forty
six in 1S5S, and twenty-eight in 1800.
The Imports! of J rent Itrltnin.
The export trade in breadstnffs carried on with
tho United Kingdom, by the United States and
Canada, has undergone somo remarkable changes
during the last two years. During that period
almost the whole trade has been transferred from
tho producing countries of this continent to
France, Russia, and other European countries
which produce a surplus.
Tho following statement of the imports of wheat,
flour and corn into tno United Kingdom, for the
nine months coding Sept. 30th, for tho last three
years, puts tho matter forward in a very plain
manner :

Shootino of a RoBBEn. The Augusta

while in tho act of stealing cotton from one
of the warehousts in that city, was shot in'
the' shoulder and captured. Ho had suc
ceeded in moving four bales when detected
in his plundering operations. Tho negb is
not dead, but the killing of all thieves, whe
ther whito or black, wlien detected in their
wicked work, would bo but justice to the
peace and sectlritj of society, and a befitting
end for those .wholivo by dishonesty.
A hi 1.1, has been brought up in tho North
Carolina Legislature, providing relief
for the holders of State bond, in con
nection with the Wilmington, Charlotto and
Rutherford Ilailroad. These bonds were
authorized before the act of secession, but
executed, afterwards, as a matter of conveni
ence or accident; and although in the name
and under the authority of the "Confeder
ate States," do, not f com to be embraced in,
the ordinance of the Convention repudiating
the war debt. Holders of these bonds, it is
alleged, got them in good faith, and on tho
same footing that all bonds wcro issued be
fore the war, and they now ask that no dis
tinction be made between theso claics of the
old debt, and that new bonds bo issued in
tho place of the defective ones.
Since the opening of Congress, no less

in which Massachusetts bore a part, in the

Howard' orders and all matters of a milita

of tho Department commander, in the same
manner as an officer of engineers, building a

commander will constantly seek co-operation
with department commander, and must keep
him furnished with all information in his
possession. His formal approval must be
obtained when possible to all orders and
circulars issued bv awistaat commanders.
It is stated that Gen. YanValkcnburgh, of
j. 1., has been appointed minister to Japan.
In the United States Supreme Court to
day, pending; tho case on exports, A. H.
.Garland, or Ark., asked to be allowed to
practic as a counsellor.
Hon. Rcverdy Johnson delivered an ar
gument against the constitutionality of the
Congrerisional test oath. There being no
antecedent government to our own, it is
necessary to look into the Constitution itself
to sec what powers wcro originally confer
red upon Congress.
This being stated, Congress is authorized
to pass all necessary and proper laws to carry
them into cflect.
' I 'I. run .Atvnvd n rt in I.n i,nnclTl,,l,i,n.t mt.
as to eflect the object they arc designed to
accompusn. it is tne uuiy 01 tno court to
ascertain what this is, and then determine
y nether tho legislation will defeat or secure
. no end.
A restriction to the class of powers is that
Congress shall pass no export, facts, law or
bill of attainder.
The meaning of this is well understood
to be that any lawrWhich will make
an act a crime which wtS not a crime wlien
the act was committed, but the law of I8C5
docs not punish, in point of fact, because it
precludes tho petitioner from the exercise"
of all lawful occupations, and strikes at a
profession in which his hopes and ambition
and support of himself and family arc in
volved. Tho punishment is severe, cruel
and unexampled. It subjects hi.n to all the
obligations of the Constitution, while it
takes from him all its advantages.
The oricinal id of 1862 was not made
applicable to attorneys in the courts of the
Lnited States. Three years were sufficient
to elapse when somo one in Congress who
may have been particularly sensitive, intro
duced a bill applying the provisions of the
law to practicing. The bill was submitted
to the Judiciary Committee, and by a unan
imous vote was rejected.It afterwards re
ceived the Mnction of tho Senate.
It was passed for the purpose of excluding
the petitioner and all others similarly sit
uated to punish by eaxludihg them from tho
United states uourts. it was not for con
duct subsequent, but antecedent to the pas
sago of the statute. This act comes within
clear meaning of the ciausc in the constitu
tion, that Congress shall pass no trparte faeto
law or bill of attainder. No right can be
taken away by law, unless the accused shall
be first convicted of the offense charged, and
theso right include the holdine of olhcc of
emolument And trust. Such laws as that of
1865, were penal statutes. Tho Attorney
General had argued last Friday, that tho ad
mission to practice in the courts is not legal,
but is created by" the law, and therefore may
be regulated by law, given or taken away,
but it is not true that Congress can by law
prohibit the appearance of councilors in the
court of the United E talcs.
Nltv York, Dec. 22. The World's Wash
ington special says the President yesterday
sent to the Senate the name of General Van
Allenbcrg.of New York, as Minuter to Ja
pan. Tbo Ecrdfit Richmond correspondent
stato 01 excitement apprenenaing an our
iftak among the niggers duririgtho holidays.
It is reported that preparations for a gigan-
tic insurrection has been made by the exten
sive gathering and secretion of arms, and
from fear that the niggers will attack and
rob the trains, tho suprintendent of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad has issued a
notice that no freight will be carried over it
between the 21st December and 5th January.
Tho apprehension is believed to be ground
less. The aggregate forco recently ordered
to be mustered out of the military service, is
300,000 men. General Fiti Henry Warren
has been breveted Major General. He will
not go to Guatemala if at all until after the
legislature meet before which he is a pro
minent candidate for U. S. Senator.
The World's special says: No offi
cial information has been received
from the French Government that
tho Emperor intends to withdraw from
Mexico, vet it 13 vaguely given out in diplo
matic circles that such is is taxation.
Maximilian expects to supply their-plaecs
with Austrian troops, number of whom arc
said to bo on their way to Mexico.
New York, Dec 22. A delegation of
Mississippians, being tho Committee ap
pointed by the Legislature of their State to
petition the President for the pardon of Jeff.
Davis, called at the Executive Mansion yes
terday, and the petition was presented, but
no formal reply was given by the President.
The PArER Dealers. The Oswego Pal
ladium says most of the paper mills in Wes
tern Massachusetts, and in many other
States, have been stopped for some weeks.
The honest paper dealers have taken ad
vantage of this and raised the price of print
ing paper in Boston about thirty-three per
cent. Tho public have to submit to his
shameless swindle in consequence of tha
protection afforded these paper dealers by
the tariff. But for that, -japer could be sold
for twenty per cent, less than the price now
demanded by the paper dealers, who enjoy
the monopoly which they continuo to make
so profitable.
