The Council Bluffites are trying to get Army Head-quarters moved from Omaha to Council BUiffs, on the ground of economy, and state that hay; grain &c, are so much cheaper there." Government contracts are filled by parties answering the advertisement from all parts of the country, and if Iowa men can fill these contracts cheaper than Nebraska men, they can bid on them now and doit; neither tho tax-payers of this State nor the General Government will have the slightest objection. The troops are needed, west of the Missouri river,- almost exclusively. (They take miiitia to quell their prise fights in Iowa); and the increased cost of transfer back and forth would r.oon cat up what little saving there infght b oh hay and wood, to say nothing of the expense of moving and tlie uselessness of the present buildings to the Govern ment in case of a change which would rnore than ay for all thfc r-jm and oats the Tittle, band of "reg'lars" at Omaha would use in ten years. Not yet; Z&tt&Tem: W'e have received notice that the "First National Bank" of this city will be closed on Christmas Day, and we hope and desire that all business men will close their stores on that day, and for these reasons, First: it is the day celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, the founder and the head Of the Christian Religion, as understood at this time and in this age. "We profess to be a Christian people; we. have churches tliat teach religion, and schools that ought to. Few have the hardihood to deny the great truths of Christianity or the existence of an overruling God, arid the story of his Son Christ, although we may differ as to particulars, in the manner of wor ship accorded to Deity. What more fitting, then, than that we should keep and solemnize this day, not as one of fasting and gloom but as one of re joicing, with reasonable feasting, and use of the things that make glad the heart of man, because a Redeemer of the world was born on this day. Second: We Americans have too few holidays, too little rest from business; our men, our boys need more. Not that we would encourage, laziness, by any means, but a reasonable relief from business, at stated periods, is ab solutely necessary to the the perfect physical health and development of the body, and certainly adds to the power and strength of the mind and its fitness for the business of life whatever that may be. Please close the stores, then, and make the day one of sensible, temperate enjoyment. GREAT ROBBERY!! JEWELRY STORE BURST OPEN. Watches, Riag and Chains Gone where the Woodbine Twineth.
