CHRISTMAS. The Second Day of the Great Festival. Secular, Popular and Jocular Cele- brations in the Metropo- lis and Elsewhere. The Charitable Institutions, Public and Private—The Day on the Ponds and in the Parlors. Tt mignt have been expected that Christmas, @oming on Sunday and bemg celebrated by the secular world on Monday, would give rise to some confusion; but the appearance of the city yesterday showed that there was no misunderstanding on the subject. All that could be said about Christmas bas been said already. The Church celebra- tions of the day, as a great Christian festi- val, have been duty recorded; but the secu- Jar world, while celebrating Christmas, still observed ‘that the Sabbath had some claims, and those claims were duly recoguized; but there must be some festivity, some “woridly” enjoyment, to show that the Christmas time is a merry time in- deed, and that was reserved until yesterday. From the reports given below it will be seen that the day Was everywhere enjoyed in a proper spirit, and that althougn the day was “the second day of Chrisumas”” of 1870 it was “‘a merry Christmas’ in every respect. In the Public Inst jons. ‘The day will long be remembered vy the inmates of the public institutions on Ward’s, Randall's and Blackwell's Islands, judging by the rays o1 gladness that lignted up the faces of the receplents or the good cheer so bountifnily provided by the Commis. tioners of Emigration and Charities. ON WARD'S ISLAND. The Commissioners of Emigration proceeded to the island at an early hour m the morning and pro- vided a superbd dinner for four or five handred children and adults, The litte ones tn addition were rendered happy by the reception ef toys apd other = articies = caiculated Ww giaden thelr little hearts and remind them that there are some Whoon each returning anniversary of the birth of the Saviour of imankind remember them with feelings of love and kindness. ON RANDALL'S ISLAND. Commissioners Brennan, Bowen, Nicholson, Frear and Bell, an¢ Warden Ben bens provided the usual Spread to we children and adults on Randall’s 1s- land. Beside the generous supply of poultry and sage yramrere the Cemmuissioners furnished a num- Tr of Christmas trees which were iadened with sweetmeats and bon-bons, that made tbeir young hearts rejoice. Mr. John Duf,, of the Olympic theatre, enerously contributed handsome collars aud bows for the girls whe received them with demon- strations of unfeigned pleasure. Among the most Pleasing features of the day’s proceedings were recitations, dialogues and songs by -the chiidren, over a thousand of whom mingled their infantile voices in songs of praise and thauklulness to God for bis bountiful blessings to them. ON BLACKWELL'S ISLAND the same mode of commemorating the day was ob- served, and all the inmates enjoyed themselves te their heart’s content. In the evening a ball was given the lunatics, and nearly all joined in the danc- ing with a zest worthy of sane persens. THE SCHOOL SHIP MERCURY sailed from this port some two weeks ago fora cruise in the West Indies, but before ner departure all arrangements were made to give the boys their annual feast, and yesterday they aoubuess partoek of the bounty of the Commissioners beneath the warm Trays of a tropical sup and upon the heaving oso Of Old ocean, Turkey at the Tombs. The ceremonies at the Tombs yesterday were of a most impressive character. Early in the afternoon Warden Stacom, attended by several assistants and coryphees, made an entrance to the main court of the prison, the assistants beaiing on salvers high up- Wfted the choicest viands, which were to be set before the uaihappy men who were suffering for their country’s good. Fragrant dishes of wild bear, trimmed with thyme, and hyoscamus, pheasants) and = ptarmigans and barons of roast beef were carried m solemn pro- cession through the lonely stone corridors of the prison without sound of fife or drum. The gentle. manly Warden sat down to a noble banquet, az which he presided with his wonted elegance and grace. The matron of the prison—good, kind- hearted Mrs. Foster—had provided Warden Stacom with a snow white vib and tucker, which he wore up to his graceiul neck. Steaming dishes of chicken fricassec were sent to the prisoners convicted or under charge of telony in their still cells. Smoking hot coffee and choice tidbits of turkey were kerved up to the men and women wiio were loc up on charges of misdeineanor, and many an ancient and right honorable “bum,”’ whose coppers were hot from the night belore had his palate cooled with the leg of a duck, touched up with Worcestershire sauce: The yamen dined ata common tabie, the meu Sons for minor offences dined at alarge tabl ‘and Mr. Sticom mn among theih fike @ muy tering angel.

The little ones, under the care of the charitable Institutions situated in the Five Points—viz., the Mission and the House of Industry—got a sweet taste of the enjoyments of Christmas yesterday. On Christmas Day the regular Sunday services oniy were celebrated in the chapels of the institutions, while the treating of the young ones to Christmas presents and a good dinner was delayed till yester- day, when, as it was anuounced to them, the jolly old Santa Claus had promised to make bis aunual Visit, Inden with the nicest gifts, Shortly before oné O'clock About 370 nicely clad cbildren—giris and boys—assembled in the chapel of the House of Industry te chant some merry Christmas glees and carols “ere they marched off, two by two, to partake of the exquisite hot dinner of turkey and rich puddings prepared for them.

Across the way, and within hearing of the merry voices that rang forth in the clear tones or child-. hood, another congregation of juveniles were as- sembled on the same gratifying occasion. About seven handred children were treated not | only to gifts and toys, but to good, substantial food, both cooked and cold, which they were allewed to bring home wo thelr nungry litde brothers and sisters amd poor father er mothers, There was ne dinuer table set set at this institution, The exercises commenced at one jock In the afterneon, and cousisted of glees and the usual Christmas carols and choruses by the Sunday schoel childrem, The presents w the children were distributed by the traditional old Santa Ciaus, who wade his appearance in the most approved fasion of the olden times by descendiny sarongh achimney.

A Bogus Despatch Exposed—The Republican Party Hopelessly Split—All the Stronger for It—Rebellion Against the Brown-Sohurz Clique in Missouri-Tammany Ring, Jr.—Its Income—Suicidal Policy— What Will Be Done—Presi- dent Grant’s Only Course. WASHINGTON, Dec, 24, 1870. Karly last week the leaders of the antl-Grant wing of the republican party here had the following despatch and others of similar character tele- graphed all over the West and published tn their organs and in outside papers:— There is a fair chance of settling the division which arose among the Missour! republicans durlag | the late lng og 80 far as tt extends to the delega- tion here and the position assumed by the Exect, tive, Members of the House representing both par. ties in the late campaign have with each other and with menibers of the adminis- tration for a week past, and to-dey matters cuiml- nated to an interview with the President, at which the whole situation was talked over, The members present were Messrs, Van Horn, Burdett, Dyer and Benjamin, The President re- ceived them cordially, and the juterview was of a very satisfactory character, both sides came away satisfied that the President would co-operate cheer- fully in an effort to reconcile all present differences, ‘There 18 much good feeling over the present situa- tion among the Missouri repubticans, and they jcel contident that the relations of the administration to political affairs in this State will new assume such a character as te prove of great advantage im the ap- | preaching election of a successor to Drake. Of the sincerity of the anti-administration leaders’ last week's profession of desire to heal dissension in the republican ranks the public can judge by reading their speeches of this week, particularly those of Messrs, Sumaner, Schurz & Co. No demo- crat has ever berated President (rant so terribly as have these same “conciliatory” (?) republicans. ‘THE PACT Is, the republican party is hopelessly split, quite down through, from top to bottom. Spaulding’s prepared glue won't save it, As stated in my letter of yesterday, all these ‘con _ ciliatory” movements originate with a miserable handful of St. Louis anti-Grant republicaus, who have been ranning a little TAMMANY RING, JR., in that city for this ten years, but which was smashed all to finders by their efforts necessary to secure control of the State last fall, Two of the ring items— the newspaper advertisements and the salaries of Senator Schurz’s German friends—amounted, as stated yesterday, to ever a quarter of a million dollars, to which should be added another ef a miliion on account of tat coutracts and other pickings, making the entire cash loss of the Brown- Scnarz clique not less than ¢5 gone to the democracy and Grant republicans. ‘To this must be added the loss of the entire federal patronage. To offset which they nave carried the State of Missouri by a combination that could not exist a day after election, and cannot, in all proba- bility, ever be made again. ‘ A SUICIDAL POLICY. And now, while a few poor suttering mercenary henchmen are whining round the White House for “conciliation,” their leaders in the Senate are throwing hot shot and shell into the admluistration ranks at every possible opportuni ‘The course pursued by the anti. has carried them to that point where reconctlauon is uiterly impossible. This is now an adinitted fact. WHAT WILL BE DONE? The President has but one course to pursue. He will jet the malcontents entirely alone. The part: is stronger now than before the split. Ifthe Presi- dential election were to take place next month Sena- ie panes ceuld not carry Massachusetts against ran’ In Missouri the Brown-McKee-Schurz clique 1s fall- ing to pieces rapidly. It can never carry the State again. Indeed, if it could get back the lost patre- nage of St. Louis city and county the managers would be abundantly satistied. The defection of Messrs. Senators Dixon, Cowan and Voolittle, headed by President Johuson, with all the iederai patronage, did not prevent the election of General Grant. The present split is nothing near so serious as the one just previous to it, Let then the President take no heed of the advice of mercenary trimmers, If he lets the malcontents severely alone, and has nothing to doqwith their con- cillatory measures, he will be re-elected—if he gets the nommation. Of his chances at the next nominating convention 1 shall have something to say at another time, A “SMART? YOUNG WOMAN. On the 19th instant Annie Morgan effected an in- surance on her wearing apparel for $3,000, in the Park Insurance Company, under the name of Minnie Davis. The woman, who is a notorious character, with about a dozen aliases, imposed upon the people at the house on the southeast corner of Nineteenth street aud Sixth avenue by representing to them that she was a respectable woman, aud Unrough this device was admitied to the house as a boarder. At an early hour on Sunday morning some of the inmates of the house discovered a fire in the room of the femal boarder, and, bursting che door open, saw her lying in bed apparently asleep, the room filled with smoke and a quantity of clotnes she had in her trunk im flames. From the suspi- cious manner in which the fire was discovered, coupled with the fact that there was not over $100 worth of clothes in the trunk, which had been in- sured for $3,000, Sergeant Mcitiwain, of the Twenty-ninth precinct, arresied her and conveyed her before Fire Marshal McSpedon, where an inves- tigation was beld and suMcient evidence produced to warrant her arraignment belore Jus.ice Snandley, at Jefferson Market. She denied the charge aud claimed that upon going to bed she leit a candie burning on her washstand, with the window epcn, and supposes @ spark blew into her trunk and set fire to the clething. She was committed for ex- ainination. ‘The prisoner was arrested about two years ago on @ simiiar charge, while boarding with a lady in Bleecker street, and has also been arrested several times on charges of grand larceny; but, througa her aruess and sympathetie story of her ruination by a young man, who induced her to run away from boarding schoo! and ompany him to this city, has thus far escaped punishment. She 1s weil dressed, good looking, and is said to have been the cause of the separation of several families in this city, the male members of which refused wo subuit to her blackmalling propeusities.
