Jew Year's at the National Capital. from Our Own Correspondent, Washington, Jo. 1, 1300. Few Year's Is one of the few holidays ecruou louflj observed at the national capital. Proba bly no city in the Union exceeds Washlneton in Uie retpect, except it be New Yotk. We have a combination of circumstances, however. In which New York is lacking, and wfclch euablej as to eclipse the great cocunerclal metropolis In our celebration cf New Year' d iy. Tue Presi dent's reception, toother with those of the Cabinet officers,? Senators aod member, and dfotinguli-hfd citizens, are feaiures pr.caliar to Washington. The Reception it the White Koine. There are really three distinct rccep-ioas at the FieMdential mansion; that is, different classes are recelred at different hours. Tats is the only exception to the democratic level which obtains everywhere el-c. First of nil come the members of the Cabinet, the foreign mlaU-ters, the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, the members of the Seua'.e and House of Representatives, the Judges of the Supreme Court ot the District ot Columbia and of the Court of Claims. The weather was uo propitious, and as a consequence private car risges and hacks of every description were broucht into requisition. New Year's Is tin only day in the jear wheu the gates leading to the bxecutlre mansion are Ruarded by soldiers and closed against the masses, but this is only for a few hours. The various rooms aud parlors of the Executive mansion were ta3temlly deco rated with rre and fragrant flowers, while the Marine Band, famous among all other bands, was stationed en the left of the la'ge ante-room, and duringthe reception discoursed appropriate mmic. Arrival of the Forelsrii Mlnlatem nntl nbliict 4MUc.ru. A few minutes before 11 o'clock the masoifl- cent cquipaees of the forelcn ministers and tbe less pretentious turnouts of the Cabinet officers beyan to arrive, approaching the Executive mansion by the eastern gate, and leaving by tbe western. Entrance to tbe White House was by the n aln door, aod the exit by one of the lane windows on 'he north front, at which a tempo rarv platform was erected leading to the pavement. There was less ceremony this year than here tofcre, but still there was enouh to please the fancy of onr foreign friends. Toe foreign rhin istere asbembled in the red parlor according to custom, where they awaited tue arrival of Secre tary Seward to bepreseuted to the P.eUent. Somehow or other a number of the Cabinet officers pot mixed up with the forclgnetsin the rtd rarlor, and when Mr. 8eward made his an pesracce be saw some of his own official asao. ciates trjlng to make themselves agreeable as best tbey could with the diplomats. The bnl liuut costumes of the latter Is a n jvel sight for democratic niericau ejes. From the minister extraordinary aud plenipotentiary to the lowest secretary of legation, every one Is attired in court dress. An Aneilcan would feel strangely urcomfortable In those curiously cat coifs, embroideted all over with gold and richly deco rated with orders aud other insignia of rank. and the Inevitable dress sword hanging at their tides. But these men are accustomed to it, aud it sits upon ihem as easily and as gracefully as their official honors, , lroHntntlon of the Guests The President and tbe ladies of the Ux?cutlve mansion a-rs. oenaior rauerson ana Mr. Colonel 8tover were in the blue parlor prom uly at 11 o'clock waiting the arrival of the visitors, On the left of the President was the don Daniel P. Gooding, Marshal of the District, who presented the visitors to the Preaideut The ladles occupied a position near the centre of the room, with General Mlchler, Comitssioner of Public Buddings, upon their left, who per formed the ceremony of presenting them. First of all, the President received the members of the Cabinet and their families secretary Seward and Miss Carpenter, ot Auburn, N. Y. Secietary Browning and daughter; Postmaster Central Randall and lady; Secretary Welles and lady; Secretary McCulloch and lady Attorney-General Evarts and lady; Secretary echofleld and lady; and Assistant Secretary F, W. Seward. They were followed by the Diplomatic Corps in lull court costume and side arms, who were presented to the President by Secretary Seward, as follows: - Sir Edward Thornton, tbe English Minister, aud lady; Francis Clare Ford and lady, W. P. Freeman and lady, Edmund D. V. Fane, and Hetry Howard, Esq., all of the Eng lish legation; M. J. Berthemy, the French Minister; M. C. Vicomte St. kFeriol and M. Baredctll, his secretaries; Mr. Ringabee, the Grecian Minister, and Mr. Leon Rangabee, his cecretary; Baron Franckensteln, Charge d'Af- falrs, Austria; Seoor Blest Gana, Charge d' Af fairs, .Chili, and Seoor Mackenna, his secretary; Baron Gerolt, the Prussian Minister, lady and daughter, and Count Lottum, his secretary; M. Waldemar de Bodisco aod lady, of the Rus sian legation; SecorGonl, the Spanish Minis ter ;.6enor Potestad, Don Manuel de Azcarraga, and Don P. Diaz de Blvera, b's secretaries; Baron N.

Baltazzl, his secretary; Consul General Hit z, of Switzerland, and Mr. Ost, his secretary; Mr, Bille, Danish Minister, and M. Raaslof, Danish Secretary of War, now on a visit to this country. Next came the Judges of the Supreme Court and their families, in the following order: Chief Justice Chase, Associate Justices Grlcr, Clifford and lady, Davis and lady, tinier and lady, and Field. These were followed by Judge George P. Fisher and A. Wylle.of the District Supreme Court, and Judge Casey, of the Court f Claims. The Senators and the members of the House of Representatives followed. Few of these are lathe city. Among those who were present were Senators Dixon and lady, Patterson or Tennessee, Mortoa and McCreery; Representa tives Cary, McCorualck and lady, of Missouri, Kldndge, Beck, Bojden, Chanler of New Yorki Grover, Johnson, of 7ltforaU, Boyer, Trimble, Poland, Boinh of Vermont, f-pnnld n?, and Cavsnaush. The meeting between Govroor Morton and the Pmldcnt was quite cordial, and attrscted universal attention from tne by standers. Mcrton was the only radical Senator who made his appearance at the White Home to-day. This scene, however, was fairly eclipsed when General Butler male his appearance, and pushed his way, aiuid general surprise, luto the presence of the Executive. Tha President shook him as warmly by tue band as if he had not been tbe prObfcu ing attorney in th Impeach ment trial. Bailer Is an ardent partian, bat he does not believe in carrying politics luto social life. The Olllearaof th Army And Nnvy. Upon the heels of the Senators and menb?rs came tbo ofliccts of the array and navy no 1 1u this city. They presented a very creditable appearance, and, with their gay uniforms mixed with those of the foreign nvmsters, oifered a pleasant and a striking contrast to thesomb'e attire ot the Cabtuet officers and the judges of the courts. None ef the great captains, such as Oraut, Sherman, Staerl Uo, and (J. H. Thomas, were prcciit; nsr of the naval heroes, like Farragu, Porter, D ivis, ind Dupont. But itlll there wn a goodly repre1 srntation ot men wboenames are not altogether uuknown to the couutry. Among them were Generals Parker, Deut, aud Comstock, of Gene ral Grant's staff; tlenerals Hsintzalman, Emn, Miller, Ramsey, Vincent, Howard. audSurgeoa- General Barue. Of the officers of the navy and marine corps there were present Admiral Duhlgren, Ridford, Smith, and Poore, anl Commodores Jenkins and M. Smith. The Toilettes) of the Z.Kllit. The toilettes of many of the ladles were at once rich and beautiful, and tor tne ueiisit or jour lady rtadeis I thall turn Jenkins," and describe a few of them. Mrs. S.-nitor Prtt.tersju. the daughter of the President, wore a rich bUck Lyons velvet, Willi full train, trimmed witn narrow folds of satin nd small bugle; a beriha of rich black lnce, and saih of the saaie mate rial as the dress; jewelry of Jet and gold, and white gloves; hair crimped and dressed with two curl?. Hit sister, Mrs. Colonel S'.over, who stood beside her, was attired iu a heavy black silk, trimmed with b ack bugle; sahjol the same n aterial as the druse, jewelry of ffitruscm gold, and white gloves; lair crimped and dress J with a single while cauoelU. Kacb of the ladies Held a beautiful bouq'ict of fracraut flowers. Biiss Carpenter, a young aud ban isome w Jinan, on the arm o( Secretary Seward (Si; war 1 al ways has a handrome woman), wore a wiu-eDlored poult de sole, with short Dlacs velvet pVttot, and white l.lusion bonnet. Mrs. Postmaster General Randall was attlrol In a lilac gros grain til k win full train, bl tck lace point, and bonnet of purple illusion with crystal trimming?. MUs Browning, daughter of the Secretary, wore a ebort bluck silk, with narrow flounce, Hack velvet pale'.ot, green satin sash, and white illusion bonnet. Mrs. Attorney-General Evarts wore a rich black Lyons velvet, with head-dress ot poiut lace, and coral jewelry, Mrs. Secretary McCulloch were a heavy lus treless silk, with pamer tkirt and paletot of the Bame matciial as the die-s. Mrs. Secretary Scholeld was dressed In full mourning. It i9 almost impossible to describe the toilettes ot the wives and daughter of tbe foreign min isters, but it was ta-jy to distinguish them from those of the Amexlcau ladies. Taeir dresies were of far richer material, the trimmings mrre elaborate aud costly, and the stjles decidedly foreign. The Citizens' Reception The general crowd, which was admitted af.er 12 o'clock, was not as large as u;ual. This was probably owing to two causes, the dtairreeabla weather and the unpopularity of the President. Reception) by the members of the the members I'Hbiuet. Alter leaving the Executive mansion, jour correspondent visited the resldeu;es of the members of thej Cabinet, who received their friends from 12 to 3 o'clock. First of all, let us stop at the mansion of Secretary Seward, on East Lafajette Square. Here there was a con stant stream ot vUitors, consistiuo; for the most part of foreign ministers and th-dr atiaohes, ani the most distinguished personages in Washing ton, resident or visiters, in civil aud in lltary life. Mr. Secretary Seward, unbendm himself from the stiff formalities of official station, is on such occasions tbe gayest of the gay. He seems to forget the Alabama claims aud the less intricate questions of diplomacy, and to study only bow to entertain bis guests. No man could be more successful thai he is in this respect, and everybody leaves pleased aud gratided. Wibdom, wit, and humor are not the only attractions at Mr. Seward's on New Year's Day. A bountiful repast, with a choice selection of the best wines and liquors, is spread out for all comers. Secretary McCilloch's re?eption was less brilliant than that ot Mr. Seward. Here the thirsty visitor is treated to ''claret punch," exceedingly sour, and mile from claret that would hardly pass the ordeal of analjzation by the Wor!T$ "Special Coinmistloner." But the Secretary is always wreathed iu smile, and his lady, a hearty Western woo.au, receives you with less affectation than Is customary with most women occupjlng her station. The Secretary of War, General Schofleld, with his lady, a plain, unostentatious woniBn, received their visitors with a stiffness and a formality re minding you strongly of tbe discipline ot the army. Here there was nothing to eat and nothing to drink. The air of the place seemed to suggest that as soon as you had erected the Secretary and his lady, tbe best thing to do was to seek your carriage without delay. Tbe residence of the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Welles, was thrown open to visitors. But the lack of hospitality here, as well as at tbe residence of the Secretary of War, suggested a great reduction In the estimates of the "appro priations" for tbe two departments. Mr. Welles manner seemed to say, "Gentlemen, I am glad toseejou, but I expect to go out of office on the lh of March, and I propose to husband my means." IfcTbe Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Browning, tbe Albany General, Mr. Evarts, and the Post-master-Generul, Mr, Randall, received and entertained their friends la good style. They seemed determined to enjoy themselves, and to make their friends happy, even If they did go ont ot the Cabinet on the 4th of March. Messrs. Browning and Bandall were cordial in their greetings, and never failed to remind their guests that there was "omelbicgto take" In tbe dining-room. But Attorney-General Evarts exceeded them all in the magnificence of his hospitality, and fully equalled Mr. Seward in the general good feeling which his presence and remarks infused among his guests. Perhaps he has brought to the capital some of the style aud polish of New York. Instead of standlug like a statue, kid gloved, mechanically shaking hand be pitsided over tbo hospitalities of his table., drii king a glats ot th"rry wUh one, and a glass of Madeira with another, at the same time relating some anecdote which both instructed and arauted. Kpenker' ColT' Reception. The residence of tbe Speaker of the House of Representatives on West Lafayette Siuare was, next to the President's, thcscene of the lar?e-t number of visitors. Colfax is always in his element when receiving the congratulations and praxes of the people. General Grant left Wabhington to avoid the crushing crowd which would unquestionably have besieged his resi dence. Mr. Colfax came to Washington to es jerience the (to him) exquisite pleasure of meeiing that crowd. He received to-day with his lady, who was aseisUd by his mother and hitter. Mrs. Colfax is a remark a oly plain woman, far from handsome, wUh duelled country manners, ana apparently beyond that ace when women cease to bo "young ladles." She was dressed In white csrded silk, fashion ably made. The Speaker had a smile for every body, und seemed to take particular pleasure in ptestnlins his visitors to his wife. There was a fine collation here, with temperance beverages. Otut-r Rvrepllouei. -Nearly all tho Senators and members in th city rccched their friends, the ladies of the family invariable doing tbe honors. The entire day was spent by the callers iu driving or walk ing through tbe muddy streets, from place to place, nud in the evening it i harnly necc.-siry to sny that many returned home less steady than when they went out. On the wtiol?, however, the day was well oelebra'.ed, as it generally is in Washington. Joaui-uus. TRAGEDY. A 3Iy.terlons Murder In Kentucky. Lancaster, Ky.

Lord Clarendon, in reviewing h'.s former conversations, fully acknowledged the pro priety and justice of the several points which Mr. Burlingame bad advanced in reference to tbe policy which he deemed djeiraole taat Eag land should pursue. Mr. Burlingame held that the objects of tho present mUsion showed evident signs of pro rrosp, and by no means evinced a retnqrade dif petition on tbe part of the Chinese Govern. mewt. He also deprecated the practice of West- em powers in utlng an unfriendly pressure to introduce new systems and new ideas among a people whoe knowledge of foreign nations wa3 of recent origin and who were nurtured un.ler u traditional system to which they weie accus tomed, and attacked because such rcrtresMvo policy would tend to revolutlonlza prosrres, aheteas tbe Chinese Government fully admitted the necessity of progics and desired to en courage it gradually without a euiden s'ajcit to tbe feelings, passions, or prejudices of the people.
