Loxpox, Dec, 26, 1867, Thie Christmas has beon anything bat a merry ono in Eogiand, The Fenian reiga of terror wolghs like a nightmare opon the whole kiagdom and to the affrighted eyes of John Bull tho festive mistletoe and holly looked Jike the hostile shamr It ia hardly possible to ox- gerate the terrors of the situation, Everybody ex- pected some sort of horrible outbreak on Christmas Day or night, and extra precautions were accordingly taken; but the Fentans allowed the festival to pass olf quietly, AN the stores were closed in London, and in spite of the bad weather the people were moving about the -strects, but the holiday appeared to lack heart, and this dy the general verdict of the public, But, besides the Fenian scare, there te another reeson why this Christmas was not merry in London, and that ts tho alarming destitution throughout many of the Gistricia of the metropolis, East London, which con- sists of some of the poorest portions of the city, and contaius over a million of souls, is a perfect nest of vice aud misery, Over one bundred thousand persons there are onthe brink of starvation and some havo toppled over, Constant appeals on their bebalf are made to the ebaritable, and Miss Burdett Coutts has initiated a system of supplying some of them with work at stone- Dreaking, as Stephen Girard did for the poor of Phila- Gelphia some years ago; but these drops of relief are Rothing compared to the oceans of want, The Poor law oes not touch these people; they cannot or will not go to the workhouse; and there they stay and starve, with ‘an oecasional sixpence or shilling from @ charitable visitor to alleviate or to heighton their ening The past year bas been vory bad tor ail business in London; even the well-to-do tradespeople have been forced to grumbie and economize, and the poor are much poorer than ever before.

A year ago he addrossed the congre- gation in a different tone; for then he stood before them 48 8 petitioner, and appealed for assistance for the build- ing Of this synagogue. The project now spoke for itself, and on laying the corner stone he felt that be was aiding to givea proof of the result of the exertions and the generosity of those who had contribute! to tue erection of the building, He hoped that the same spirit would follow the laying of the stone, and that when the structure was completed it would produce tho effects which were desired, would become an institution in the neighborhood and @ nucleus fora large, opulent and Widespreading community. A vote of thanks to Baron Rothechtld was proposed by Mr. ilarria, the chairman of the committee, and the proceedings terminated.’ Frederick Baker, the murderer of the little child at Alton, was hung on Tuesday last. He was uadoubtediy insane, Before the day of exocution he confessed his crime, stating that he was maddened by drink, and that he did sft violate the poor girl.

Sremway Hati,—Harrison’s fifteenth Sunday concert was crowded last night, The artistes were Mr. and Mrs, Bowler, Misa Clementine Barnard, Mr. G. W. Colby and Mr. Caulfield, Mr, Bowleris a new arrival from Eng- land and is a very fine tonor, although the “Cujus Ani- mam” of Rossini was entirely beyond his reach. In bal- Jad she has a good deal of the Sims Reeves style, and was very successful, Mrs. Annie Kemp Bowler made a poor hand of aa aria from ‘“Dinorah,” and needs a good dea) of training before she can sing in a first class coucert. Miss Barpard is am admirable pianist, and she gave ‘Thalberg’s ‘“‘Straniera’’ fantasia and Pattison’s ‘Faust’ with much delicacy and artistic feeling. Her technique might be improved somewhat, but there 1s no doubt that she will yet make a mark in piano playing.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. A Difference in Southern Governors. {From the Montgomery Mail (conservative), Jan. 4.) Governor Jenkins, of Georgia, refused to pay out the money of his State to dofray the expenses of the swind- ling Radical Convention at Atlanta, and for fear the funds of his treasury might be seized violently he straightway sent them from Milledgeville to New York for safe keeping, In order to get hold of the >tate funds it will be necessary for the Goorgia Menagerie to bring suit by attachment in New York, which suit would open up the whole question of reconstruction, In Alabama 1t has been different. Governor Patton, like a weeping wil! yielded to the storm without delay, wrote reconst tiers, made a h at Hunte- ville, elestioneered for negro votes, and finally permit- ted warrants to State in favor issue agal of a lot of scamps calling themselves a Stave Convention, for @ sum not leas than $59,000.

Stephene’ View of Affulre in South, the popular will on these grave questions of national !n- terest, This paper is being prepared by Mr, Seward, and if the information furnished be correct, will be one firm im tone, decided im spint and unequivocal in meaning. with St, Domingo. mmissioner from St, Domingo, General Pujol, Alexander H. Stephens, in conversation with ® friend | deniog aitogether the reports in circulation that any who saw him recently in Philadelphia, took = very despondent view of affairs in the South, He pronounced the future before that section of the country fraught with gloom aud disaster, and can gee nothiug inthe policy of reconstruction but the operation of a fearful scheme, whose ultimate result will be the destruction of either the biack or the white race, Every day, be says, it becomes more painfully evident that the estrange- ment between the racea is widening—on the part of the negrves from. tho effecis of such imstruction as teaches them to distrust and oppose the whites, end on the part of the latter from an abhorrence of the negro leaders and an instinctive aversion to be ruled and legislated for by ignorance and sem i-barbaristn, From what fell under his own observation ia Georgia he was unable to detect anything like « spirit on either side tending to mutual sympathy of sentiment and in- terest, Radical emissaries from fhe North lave sowa the seeds of evil dissension with a termble earnestness, and the diametric opposition of the races cow visible all over the South imust, in the very nature of things, lead, at some time or other to fearfui collisons, This in- evitable result, Mr, Stephens declares, ag a dispassionate observer, forces itself irresistibly on his attention. A war of races, desired by some apd indifferently hoeded others, 12, to his mind, a consequence as sure to Happen, under the radical method of reconstruction, as it is im- possible to avoid if the precedents of history or the impulses that control human nature be taken into account, . The Removal of Secretary Stanton—Mis Probable Reinstatement and the Probable Action of the President in the Premises. Alter a careful canvass of the feeling of a majority of the members of the Senate in reference to the case of Secre- tary Stanton, I have come to the couclusion that tho vole, if taken to-morrow, will regult io favor of Stanton and of course in opposition to the objections furnished by the President for bis continuance in the Cabinet. One-half the radial members expressed themselves as having made up their minds, and expressed themseives unhesitatingly in favor of Stanton. The other half was made ‘up of those who wero anxious to hear further upon the subject, of those who opposed the principle of the Tenure of Otlice dill, yet saw nothing to justify the Presi- dent in suspending Stanton at the eleventh hour, when his principal reason for said suspension would bave been equally valid a year ago, and of those who, with no par- ticular love for Stanton and rather prejudiced against him than otherwise, were yet more or less determined to endorse the prevalent expression of their party for the sake of harmony at least, All were, however, ready to express the opinion that Howard’s majority report would be approved in the main, andas the radical element of the Senate is in overwhelming preponderance this seems inevitable. Senator Doolittle’s minority re- port is said to be very short, covering only four or five pages in pampbiet form, The greater part is taken up ‘with extracts from the speeches of Senators and mem- bers made on the Tenure of Office bili previous to its passage, the object being to show that at that time the Measure was not intended to have the effect of forcing upon the President a Cabinet minister who may be ob- noxious to him. Itthen takes up the despatch of Gen. Baird in relation to the riots et New Orleans. aud argues against the charges contained in the majority report, that the President had interpolated two words in the copy submitted to Congress that were mot in the copy furnished to bim by Secretary Stanton and were not in the despatch as General Baird sent it, Senator Bucks low, among other things in his speech yesterda: charged the horrors of Andersonville to Stanton’s ac- count, To-morrow Senator Dixon proceeds with his address in favor of the minority report, aud will no doubt urge other charges equally ampalatablo agaist the discarded War Minister. He 1s to be followed by Senator Hendricks on the same side, and it is thought the greater portion of the day will be occupied in the discussion of the subject. ‘The name of Senator Ross is mentioned as one of the republican members who cannot be influenced to join in the vote for Stanton’s reinstatement. Some persons attribute this to a personal pique of the Senator's against the Secretary, but it is also surmised that be is in con- scientious antagonism to the design of his party in this matter, and belioves the wellare of the couniry can be better advanced by leaving with the President the priv- ilege of rejecting or retaining any member of his Cabinet, as guaranteed to bim by the framers of the constitution. What will §tbe President do in the event of the Senate sustaining Stanton and endeavoring to force this ob- noxious Secretary upon his Cabinet? To this question it ts impossible at present to give any satisfactory answer. I do not think the President bimseif has come to any settled determination on the subject. His action must be depondent ina great measure upon circum: stances, Grant may or may not vacate the War Office ‘and turn over the keys to Stanton upon a resolution of reinstatement being adopted by tho Senate. Should he not vacate, the President would probably take no action whatever, but simply allow Grant to continac to admin- later the office and thus compel Stanton to resort toa mandamus or some other legal proceeding to establish bis right to*the position, Im taking this course the President would assume to be acting under bis broad constitutional power to suspend a subordinate for an indeiinite period, thus disregarding altogether the pro- visions of the Tenure of Oflice act, The President, it must be remembered, contends that his power to re- move a Cabinet officer is derived from the constitution, and has not been changed by a mere act of Congress. Should Grant, however, vacate the War Office at the bid of the Senate, thon the espoct of affairs would be very much altered, and it is dificult to assert what line of policy the President would pursue. Stanton, in goiting possession, might reverse tho posi- tion of parties aod compel the President to become plaintiff aud institure legal proceedings to oust the con. tumacious Secretary, The President, on the othor hand, might proceed to the extremity of removing Stanton ont and out, and thus anew reopen the whole case for argument and contest, I have reason to know that the President is yet discussing all these points and hag not arrived at any satisfactory conclusion up Lo the present writing. He will act cautiously, and after thorough deliberation, taking no stand from which he may be constrained hereafter to recede, Seeretary Stanton and Joe Johnston's Sur- de Another instance of the remarkable dealings of Sec- retary Stanton has transpired within a few days It Will be remembered that at tue time the terms agreed upon between Generals Sherman and Joe Johnsion, in 1865, suspending host(i\ies between the contending ar- mics and arranging a basic of peace, there was a good deal of excitement created ali over the country, but particularly here in Washington, A Cabinet council was convened, and after a short deliberation it was de- cided to dieapprove of the terms offered by General ‘Sberman, aod that GeveraltGrant should proceed imme diately to Sherman's headquarters and expiain what ‘were the wishos of the Prosident and his Cabinet, This, Tam assured, was wil that was agreed upon at the Cabie net council, The next day, however, Stanton ind before the country the order adopted by the Cabinet, and also a Jong communication giving nine reasons why Sherman's action was not approved of, These nine reasons were published over Mr. “tanion’s signature, and were given ia such an authoritative way as to create the impression that they were the reasons of the President and all his Cabinet why Sherman's agreement with Joe Johnston bad been disapproved, i have good authority for siating that the first knowledge the President bad that he or bis Cabinet had beso ac. tuated or iofuenced by any puch reasons was conveyed to him by this unauthorized publication of Stanton, No stich reasons wore over before the Cakinet council of Mr. Johnson, either before or after the teeuance of the order of disapproval. This point of assumption of right to speak for the whole Cabinet bi been brought before the aitestion of the President egain of late, And i¢ is not fmprobable may be among those that will ve urged agatnat Stanton should any now causes be Aeomed necessary to assiza for Lis suspension or re- moval. 1 ebould add that at the time alluded to Stanton was hoard to say that he had “killed another gomeral”’ by the communication reforred to, The President on Noatnratized Citizens Abrond. * now occupying much of the that of the Alabatce claims Tam reliably in- Anotfier mubject thet Ationu@n of the President and the rights of naturalized citizens, formed thet an important State paper 1s now In course of preparation, which wili vlace tho Presideat ina favorable light on both th matters, and force the radicals (0 tho dilemma of sustain Ye him OF of opposing cause exists to create a difference between the United States and his government in reference to the guano island of Alta Vela. ‘his Island, which ts only nine or teu miles trom St Domingo, # marked down upon the maps made by the earliest Spanish discoverers ag be- longMg to the larger insular possession, and bas ever been regarded eo by the Dominican people, The crew of an American vessel landed there for wood and water in 1859 aud took away with them & cargo of guano as ballast, Finding the article profitable in the market of New York they returaed and set to work to develop the depomt on a large scale, and while thus engaged they were visited by w party of Dominican officials, who made them ceuse their operations, and took them off to St, Domingo, not as prisoners, but as a convenience for themselves, whereby they might more easily return i» America, ‘The island was afterwards leased by a person named Deigrado, and an American company i now work- ing the guano deporits, - The lessoo pays @ revenues of §2 per ton to the Dominican government, Notwithstanding these —_representa- tions of General Pujol it is said that the radicals oppose any treaty with St- Domingo for the purchase of Samand on the ground that the Américan flag was in- suited by the Dominicans at the time referred to, and that reparation must be now demanded, Last evening Secretary Seward gave a grand dinner to the Dominican commissioners, at which all the forvign mipisters, ex- cept the Spanish, wero present, Collector Smythe.

This sammary mauner of overcoming the obstacles threatening an impediment in the way of the undisputed success of the legisiative war now #o vigorously being carried on against the Ex- ecutive is looked upon ag the beginning of a novel vin- dication of the supremacy of Congress, The signs of the times, pointing so plainly to a loss of power, itis designed shall not be passively allowed to run their course, but every safeguard to @ continuance of sscon- dancy will be resorted to, This unparalleled piece of legislation does not meet the views of the less radical members of the House. They seem to be mindful of the fact that in no instance in the history of the juris- prudence of the country has any court been tied down to such an arbitrary measure, but been free to determine by a majority of those judges sitting, there being @ quorum = present, Ib is also ques tioued whetuer Congress has —_ constitutionally the power to impose such special legislation upon the judicial arm of the government, adopting a rule only to apply to certain cases, when in other mat- ters the majority is sufticien. This movement, it is expected, will meet with much opposition in the House aud occasion a stirring debate, Santa Anna and Mexican Affairs, General Santa Anna states, in a letter which he has written to a friend here, that he had nothing to do with the Yucatan pronunciamienta He desires peace for Mexico at any price, but feels hopeless of its being secured, He {cars that within a year thore will be half a dozen Yucatans in Mexico, and if so it will then be time for him to consider whether his hea!th and circum- stances will allow him to devote any more of his few remaining years to his usbappy country. Departure ot Judge Russel. Judgo Abrahah D. Russel, of New York, who has been here for a few days, left for home to-night, He hada Jong interview with the President yesterday, Hetirement of the Chilean Charge d’Affuires. Saturday Sefor Don Alberto Biestgana, who has for some time past been accreditted to this government as Charge d’ Affairs of Chile, took official leave of the Sec retary of State. Mr. Blestgana has, it is said, been in- trusted by his goverument with an important mission to England, If im any way owes this mark of conf- deuce to the manner in which he has discharged his official and personal dutice bere, the trust, it is believed, bas certainly been moat judiciously bestowed. of Our At a meeting recently held in this city im favor of protecting American naturalized citizens abroad, speeches were mado by about twenty members of Cou- greas of all parties, Tho lotter which Speaker Colfax addressed to it is a8 follows: — Acountry like ours, all of whose people, excopt In- dians not taxed, are of foreign birth or descended from foreigners, must eitber cease to natur: the mullions who come to us from abroad, or must protect thetn fully in the rights of citizenship roffored to them by our laws, AS it is the greatest glory of any nation that it protects the poorest and humblest of its citizens as earnestly as the richest and most powerful, we should be as quick to throw the ebield of our nationality over all who have taken an oath of allegiance ia our courts, as if they bad been born on our soil, Lo demand that thoy should fight and bleed and die for the country of their adoption in war, as Amer.can citizens, aud then fail to protect them as American citizens in peace, at home or abroad, would Ve anational shame. I have no doubt that Congress will spewk on t! vject with no uncertain voice, A Skating Feat. —At Detroit, at midnight of Satur- day, Charles Ockford completed hs feat of skating sixty consecutive hours, winning a wager of $500, He skated slowly but constantly, only resting twelve minutes in each twelve bours, the referees constantty watching him, Part of the time the weather was very bad, and on Saturday afternoon be became £0 weak that it was necessary 10 put up biaukets to prevent the wind from blowing him over. ut nine o'clock his senses were fast fuiling bit, and he nearly fell, Some stimulant was given him, when he datted away ike a wild mao, and had to be held untii the deliriom bad passed.
