TUESDAY MORNING January 7, tWB
From oar Own Corre*pondent.J
LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Jan. 2, 1868;
NEW TEAR'9 BAY AND ITS RECEPTIONS.
Well, I really do believe that if all New
Year's days were as sloppy and slushy, and
disagreeable, as tho first day of 1868 was in
Washington, the custom of New Year’s
calls would die out, become exterminated,
obsolete, effete, extinct, annihilated--in
short non est inventus, E pluiibus unum,
Sic temper tyrami is (or some such Latin
phrase).
But, though the damp, dirty condition of
the thoroughfares led many to rebel against
the dictates of long-established usage, our
high officials and prominent citizens were
almost as much bored as usual on such
days. How glad these officials must be that
New Year's day comes but once a year,
with its seemingly hand shaking
and formal round of compliments.
It is very nice to take at first; it is so sooth,
ing to human vanity to have a long pro
cession of your fellow-creatures—no matter
if they do deposit young town lots on your
new Brussels carpet—file into your parlor,
squeeze your hand, mutter something half
scaredly, and stare at you, with a great
deal of “speculation” in their eyes. What
matters all the vexation and trouble ? Ain’t
you the great attraction ? Haven’t all these
people heard about you-, haven’t they come
to see what you look like; and don’t you flat
ter yourself they won’t go away disap
pointed either?
But we all know there’s such a thing as
too much of a good thing—even a boy fed
on tarts and preserves all the time would
crave after beef steak and potatoes. So,
after you hav* been lionised for an hour or
two, after the cry of “Walk up, walk up,
gentlemen and seo tho real live statesman —
the only genuine specimen extant!” has
attracted a couple thousand visitors, you
long for the exhibition to close, that you
may draw the curtains of privato life about
you.
There’s no uso in denying it (and I don’t
know as any ono wishes to), official New
Year’s receptions are a bore—in fact, I may
emphatically say, a confounded bore—to'
those giving them.
TUE WHITE HOUSE.
The President’s levee commenced at 11
o’clock, when Cabinet officers, Foreign
Ministers, Supreme Court Judges, Members
of Congress and District Judges were re
ceived. These officials were most all in
carriages, and the outside crowd that be
sieged the gates at the entrance to the
grounds, tip toed and elongated their necks
to catch a glimpse of the distinguished
riders ; and here and there in the crowd was
a fellow who took upon himself the task of
informing his neighbors who this person was
and who that.
At a little before twelve, the soldiers of
the war of 1812, and members of the Oldest
Inhabitants’ Association of the District of
Columbia, paid their respects to the Presi
dent.
At twelve o’clock noon, the gates were
thrown open to tne general public, and
Presidential hand-shaking commenced in
earnest. 111 surged the crowd in one con
tinuous swell, through the Red Parlor to the
Blue Room, where, near the entrance, stood
the President, with Marshal Gooding and
Deputy Marshal Phillips on his left. Nearer
the centre of the room, in charge of General
Michler, stood Mrs. Patterson and Mvs.
Stover. The President leaned slightly for
ward—apparently to catch quicker any re
marks that might be addressed to him—and
extended his hand,*iu turn to every passer
by. Some merely touched the tips of his
fingers, while others gave a good earnest
squeeze, as though to satisfy themselves that
it was only ordinary flesh and bones. As
each took his shake, he passed on through
the Green Parlor into the East Room, and
from thence tigain to open air and slush.
Among the visitors to the White House
during the day were an unusual nurabfr. of
distinguished personages, among whom were
Generals Sherman and Grant, Chief Justice
Chase, and sevgral Radical members of Con
gress. One old gentleman, a resident of
Georgetown, named Noble Hurdle, said to
the President: "God bless you, Mr. Presi
dent ; I have shaken the hand of every
President from Washington’s time, and now,
sir, I am happy to shake yours, the last
President, but by'no means the feast.”
OTHER RECEPTIONS.
Besides the receptions - at the White
House, all the members of the Cabinet,
Chief Justice Chase, the Speaker of thp
House, the genial Colfax, and numerous
other dignitaries and prominent citizens
kept “ open house.”
SPEECH OF SENATOR O. P. MORTON.
Senator O. V. Morton, whose record as a
“ War Governor,” has so endeared him not
only to the people of Indiana, but to the
country, delivered an able speech oil Monday
evening, upon the “ Issues of 1808,” beiore
the boldiers’ and Sailors’ Union. The
fact that a verbatim report of this important
address only appeared in tho Democratic
organ here, certainly shows a luck of news
paper enterprise in the Republican press of
this city. The feeble state of Mr. Morton’s
health necessitated his remaining seated
dufing the delivery of his speech. The
recognized ability of the Senator and the
front rank he occupies in the Republican
party; secured him n large and brilliant
audience, and has drawn unusual attention
to his remarks, as published.
Ashe considered the subject, there were
two great ideas uppermost and struggling
for supremacy at the present time in the
minds of the American people. The first
was the justice and right on the part of the
Government and people in putting down
the rebellion by force of arms; the second
was the justice and right of the cause for
which the rebels fought; and the man who,
in 1868, votes for the Democratic or'Con
servative candidates, whatever may be his
intention, will certainly record his vote in
favor of the right of rebellion; while the
man who sustains the candidates of the
Republican party will unmistakably ratify'
the action of the Government in putting
forth its energy to crush armed rebellion.
The financial embarrassment and com
mercial inactivity throughout the country
Mr. Morton attributed to the persistent
effort on the part of the South and their
Democratic allies to hinder the Go'fornment
from establishing internal peace. Another
source of' trouble was the unwise hurry to
liquidate the National debt, aud tho heavy
taxation forced upon the people in conse
quence. That wo had been able to raise so
large an amount by taxation might sound
well to the cars of foreign governments ;
but our ambition to discharge the liabilities
of the nation had led us into nets of doubt
ful sagacity.
In the reconstruction of tbo South, the
question was not whether power shall be
conferred upon blacks and whites, or upon
the jvhites alone, but the Republican party
insisted that when power was idnferred, it
shotfld be so divided that its preponderance
shall not be on tho side of and isloyal men.
There was much talk about tho present
State Goverumenti that were ignored in Con
gressional acts ; but these government,
were formed by pwelamation (A the Presi
dent of the Uni led Statas, and* recuncnco
Ltha elections in Virginia,*Nortb-an«
th Carolina, would show that less than
one-third of the white voter* took part in
forming the Constitution of the present
States, and they had nojror been submitted
for ratification to the people. _
There were numerous other ideas wrapt
up in. the leading questions he had an
nounced, such as compensation lbr emanci
nsd slaves, assumption, of tho rebel war
t, and the pensioning of rebel widows
and orphans. The greaf question of the
campaign of 1868, however, was the justice
of the war, or the right of the rebellion.
Vigilant.
Our New Bishop.—We have the satisfac
tion of announcing to our readers that Rev.
Dr. Beckwith has informed thq Standing
Committee of this Dioceae, that he will
accept the Bishopric of Geftrgia. to which
he was unanimously elected in May last.
We hope and trust that his consecration,
which we learn will occur in March, may
take place in Savannah, and that we may
have a goodly number of Bishops present
on the solemn and interesting occasion. It
would give our citizens much pleasure to
welcome the venerable Bishop Hopkins of
Vermont, who will doubtless be present.
While we are sadly aware that it will he
difficult for the people of Georgia to find a
successor to their lamented and gifted
Bishop Elliott, whose blessed memory will
live in the hearts of his people forever, we
are confident that the announcement of
Bishop Beckwith’s acceptance is sufficient
cause for congratulation. The exalted
virtue, rare intellectual attainments, and
remarkable pulpit eloquence, together with
the universal popularity Bishop Beckwith
enjoys, not only among the people of Loui
siana, but throughout the country wherever
he is known, is sufficient assurance that the
ties of love will speedily bind the Bishop to
the people ot Georgia. —Savannah Repub
lican.
General Gbant on the Recent Re
movals. —It is among the on Hits that Gen.
Grant earnestly objected to the removal of
General Pope as commander of the Third
Military District, aind that several “private”
letters relating to the removal passed be
tween the President and Gen. Grant. It
has been stated that Gen. Grant strongly
urged the removal of General Qrd, com
mander of tho Fourth District, on the
ground of dissatisfaction with the conduct
of General 0. since he has been in com
mand of that district. There ia no foun
dation for this rumor, we have reason to
believe. The removal of General O. was
made at his own request, and General
Grant made no objection thereto.— Wash
ington Star.
Protestant Episcopal Cnuncu.—The
following statistics of the Protestant Epis
copal Church in the United States for the
year ending November 1, 1867, have been
compiled from the latest reports: Dioceses
:S4 ; bishops, 44; priests and deacons, 2,556;
whole number of clergy 2,600, parishes,
2,370; ordinations, 153; 'candidates for
holy orders, 255 ; membership, 1,100,000 ;
‘communicants, 200,000; Sunday School
teachers, 10,897; Sunday School scholars,
180,152 ; baptisms, 34,436; confirmations,
19,619 ; marriages, 10,049 ; burials, 15,843;
contributions, $3,859,297.t>2
Suspended.—Dr- L. F. W. Andrews has
suspended the tri weekly issue oflhe Georgia
Citizen for the present. Hard times is the
cause. It becomes a matter of serious con
sideration to our people whether or not they
will have sufficient papers to give them the
news, after awhile. It appears as if they in
tend to permit the extinction, through want
of patronage, of so many papers that the
community at large will hardly he able to
learn what is going on in the world.— Macon
