NationalHcpublican J A.UGHJB r rA-T 7 r 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 Telegraph.
