NEW YEAR, 1881. The Official Receptions To-day. Brilliant Scene at the White House. The New Year receptions of 1831 have fully equaled in brilliancy any our city has ever known in the past. The crisp, cold, exhil- arating atmosphere and the good sleightng gave a novelty to the day no other New Year within the memory of the present generation has known, and added greatly to its enjoy- ment. s The White House has, as usual, been the Scene of greatest interest to-day. The Marine Band, as is customary, played in the large entrance hall during the reception. The long central corridor was festooned with flags, and further decorated with flowers and potted Plants. The parlors were also adorned with cut flowers and hot-houze plants. The program of the order of the reception a3 previously pubitshed in THE Stax was strictly carried out. Punctually at 11 a.m. the Presi- dent and Mrs. Hayes entered the blue parior, preceded by Major Farquhar, of the engineer corps, and followed by the Vice President and Miss Mills, of San Francisco. They took their stations in the center of the room. The young ladies who are visiting Mrs. Hayes stood back of her and on her right. Colonel Casey made the introductions to the President and Mr. Webb Hayes to his mother.

Little Miss Fannie Hayes’ bright face and rfect complexton epee to advantage in er child-like dress of white summer camel's hair, trimmed with white satin ribbons. Mrs. Hayes tnylted Mrs. Elizabeth Thorapson, of New York, to pass the day with her. She wore @ superb black velvet, trimmed with white ostrich os Her ornaments were pearls.

The Russian Minister and his wife were con- ceded to beamong the handsomest and most distin; ed looking couples seen in the throng of noted men and fine looking ladies in the Blue Parlor.

The cold weather kept many from calling. The fact that this is the last New Year of the present administration perhaps had something to do with it also. The mem- bers of the dipiomatic corps who took break- fast with Secretary Evaris went right from there to the White House to call on the Prest- dent. Secretary Evarts’ reception from 1 to 3 was presided over by Mrs. Evarts and daugh- ters. Secretary Schurz was assisted by his daughters. At Secretary Sherman’s house everybody was made at home by Mrs. Sherman, Mrs. Monroe and other ladies. The Attorney General’s reception at his rooms on 14th street was Palan4 attended.

Bap MANAGEMENT.—The condition of the side- walk tmmedtately in front of the White House grounds for its entire length, and the dis- graceful state of the drive approaching the house, were the subject of general and severe comment to-day. It was conceded that com- mon humanity should have dictated the re- moval of the snow, So that the horses would not have been forced to stand knee-deep to it white awaiting the return of visitors to their cariivges, ACTING SECRETARIES OF THE Navy.—The At torney General has decided that an acting heat of a department can be detatled for ten days only and cannot be redesignated.

Edelberto Giro, whoa few days ago, before Commissioner King, in New York, testified as to having had criminal intimacy with Mrs. Christlancy at the St. James Hotel, on Curist- mas day last, is a native of Cuba, and for some years has been engaged in business in Peru; being interested in pateut fire-arms, and in buying and diamonds, and had mide Col rable money. In hts testimony he states that he returned to this city at the suggestion of Mrs. Christlancy, He came to tals country in the same vessel ‘with Mrs. Christiancy—the Acapulco; that on the passage HE GAVE BER A RING OF TURQVOISE and a diamond nag, for which he had beea of fered $300 by @ wholesale dealer, and subse quently he gave her other articles of jewelry, tn. cluding solitaire earrings, a watch and chain, bracelets set with diamonds, tp all valued at $1,500, These were all gifts In the nature of those froma lover, and he exjected her to re tain them so long as friendly relations existed between them.

It is a question whether Mr. Christtancy’s fiends will be able to furnish such corroborative testimony. The hackman who, it is alleged, took Mrs. Christancy from her residence to the hotel. has made an affidavit describing a woman of entirely different ay ance; and the walter at the hotel and Mr. joltchub, the clerk, have failed to Indentify Mrs. Christiancy as the woman. itis under- Stood, however, that Dr. Ball, who was for a ‘Ume the private secretary ot Mr. Christlancy, was in the St. James at the time, and will identify her. —- The Police and the Poor.
