Christmas in New York and a folded compromise
A New York Sun outlook ridicules the Compromise Committee as likely to produce no beneficial settlement. The piece laments party bias among Senators and administrators, then shifts to Christmas reflections, shopping crowds, window displays, and festive scenes in New York stores and theaters. It notes art-auction results, charity efforts after a Brooklyn disaster, fireproofing experiments by Boucicault, and sleighing scenes with Commodore Vanderbilt’s absence anticipated.
