Christmas.
About nineteen hundred years ago
The Daily News goes to press today
earlier than usual in order that the
men may get out and breathe the spir-
of Christmas jollity.
The News extends thanks to its
friends and patrons for liberal patron-
age and pleasant business association
during the past year, and wishes ev-
erybody a Merry Christmas.
No paper will be published Monday,
so that the printers who desire to do
so may take a Christmas outing.
The office will be open, however, all
day Monday and a cordial welcome
will he here for all social or business
callers.
The office will remain open because
of the great rush of work in the job
department, making it necessary to
keep the job presses running.
The management hopes everybody
may have a good time and when it is
all over, that we may settle down into

The Angels said, “Fear not we bring
you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people.” Then followed
the Angelic song, “Glory to God in the 1
Highest and on Earth Peace, Good
Will Toward Men.”,
. Christian men and. women caught
up the angelic refrain and all around
the circle of the earth, the song has
echoed and re-echoed.

B OLD SOUTHERN
|WAR DEBTS.
S pretty scheme some spec-
ie concocted to raid the
■ compel several of the
pay the millions of bonds
the carpetbag governments
after the war. The recent judgment
of the United States Supreme Court in
the case of South Dakota against
North Carolina has started up all who
came into possession of these worth-
less securities. Under the constitu-
tion a private citizen can not sue a
State, so South Dakota came into pos-
session of these bonds through a pri-
vate citizen who donated them. The
suit was brought and sustained.
The idea now is that private hold-
ers may by donating these bonds to
States, lay the foundation for suits by
the holding States to recover. Some
citizen of Philadelphia has tendered
Iowa ten bonds of the denomination
of $1000 each, but it is hardly probable
that the officials oobasesoninaes
s - carpesnag bonds in the first
I place are not in the same category as
the North Carolina bonds involved in
the South Dakota suit. Those bonds
were issued long before the war to
construct the Atlantic and North Car-
olina railroad. After the war when
North Carolina was bankrupt and her
people ruined, most of this railroad
issue was compromised in a readjust-
ment of the debt. The holder of the
bonds which later came into the pos-
session of South Dakota refused to
compromise, and when the. Supreme
Court decided in favor of South Da-
kota, execution was issued on the
property of the railroad, still owned
by the State, for whose construction
the bonds were issued.
The Post fails to see that the bonds
fraudulently issued by the carpetbag
government and repudiated by the
States have a standing in equity sim-
ilar to the Atlantic and North Carolina
railroad bonds, and it does not un-
derstand that the court wished to lay
down the principle that a private indi-
vidual holding a fraudulent claim
against a sovereign State may trans-
fer it to another State for the
pose of collection.
Former Senator Pettigrew is
pur-
the
author of the scheme to collect these
bonds after the South Dakota plan,
and he expects to get rich out of the
litigation.
It is quite likely that when the next
suit of this character comes before
as Supreme Court, the property of
Etrew's scheme will be carefully
rhoaid into.
( mithe meantime, it is to be noted
that the arbitration treaties now pend-
in the senate have excited opposi-
M in the South because they do not
a immunity against foreign hold-
lers of old Confederate securities com-
ing before the proposed arbitration
