Iltn Movement Yenlerdav !Hr. Jrnut'n ttf option The Dinner at the Ilrlllnh I-HRlton. The party ot the Prince, with Mrs. Thornton, visited the White House yesterday afternoon, to -attend tho reception ot Mrs. Grant. No notice of the Trince's Intended visit having been given, there wore but few persons present, the crush not beginning nntil seme half hour later. Mrs. Thornton presented the Prince and his suite to Mrs. Grant, who in turn Introduced the ladles who assisted her In receiving. The President, being engaged with the Cabinet, did not make his appearance nntil gome time afterwards. Mrs. Grant was aided lu the reception by Mrs. and Miss Bontwell, Mrs. Dick, Mrs. Sharpe, Mrs. (icneral Logan. Mrs. General Carl Schurz, Miss Schurz, and Miss McDowell. The Prince nmd Mrs. Thornton, on tho Invita tion of Mrs. Grant, took places by the side of that lady; the most distinguished guests and per sonal friends of Mrs. Grant being presented to the Prince, whose pleasant manners and easy flclf-posscsslon produced an instant and highly favorable Impression. Both houses of Congress being still In session, there were but few Sena tors and members present, though the influx of citizens and strangers, at 3-30, was greater than at any previous drawing-room reception this winter at the White House. General McDowell, Secretary Bontwell, cx-8enator Doollttle and daughter, and Mrs. General Fremont, were noticeable among the guests. From the White House the whole party drove down the aveuuo to Brady's photograph gallery, where they sat for their portraits. The Prince first sat for his picture alone, and afterwards as the central figure in a group, of which the other members were Lieutenant-Colonel Elphinstone, Lieutenant Plckard, Ensign Fitzroy, and H. 8. Le Strange, Esq. Both photographs were very successful; so that it will not be many days ere Prince Arthur's physiognomy will be as familiar in the shop windows ot Washington, New York, and all the cities of the United States as those of President Grant and other American celebrities. Thence the Prince and party were driven home, tho third of the series of state dinners given at the Thornton mansion being on the card for 7 o'clock this evening. Eighteen covers were laid, and the guest took seats in the follow ing order: Mrs. Thornton at one end of the table, having on her right his Royal Highuess and on her left SpeuKer Blaine, senator Morton, Mr. Blacquc Bey, Turkish Minister, Colonel Elphinstone, Lieutenant Plckard, Senator Conk ling, Baron Gerolt, the Prussian Minister, and Senator Cameron. Mr. Thorn tan occupied the other end of the tablo vis a vis to Mrs. Thorn ton, having on his left Senator Sherman, Admi ral Dahlgren, Baron Lederer, Mr. French. Eu sign Fitzroy, M. de C'atacazy, the Russian Min ister, and 8enator Hamlin. It has been wrongly supposed that the dinners given yesterday and "to-day were given merely with a view of bringing Prince Arthur Into close social relations with our leading public men, merely as such. While this may, perhaps, have entered as an element into the cose, it is well known that these gentlemen have more than a casual acquaintance with tho British Minister, and were selected as much for that reason as for any other. The dinner was a brilliant affair, and lasted until nearly 9-80 o'clock. As on the previous evening, the dlning-ball and table were beauti fully ornamented. The house itself, with its commodious and well arranged apartments, en guile, has been, during the entire stay of the Prince, regulated with a special regard to the social enjoyment of guests, Prince Arthur, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Crampton and members of the British legation and of the Prince's suite, attended the reception of General and Mrs. Sherman at 10-80 o'clock. The parlors were densely crowded with ladies and gentlemen, including members of the Cabi net, Vlce-Admirol Porter, Speaker Blaine, Rear Admlrol Smith, various Senators and Repre sentatives, and many prominent In the civil, military, and naval service. After the foreign visitors had paid their respects to General and Mrs. Sherman, the General conducted them to another parlor, where Miss Sherman received guests, a number of whom were presented to the Prince. The Prince was afterwards escorted to the side-parlor, where ho spent a few minutes in conversation with those who were presented to him. General Sherman here gave the Prince a choice of two splendid rifles, and ho selected a Winchester repeating arm, mounted with gold, on which were engravings of Eve, the Genius of Liberty, and General Grant on horseback, be sides being elaborately chased. The rifle will be sent to the Prince to-morrow. 1 he Prince and his company remained about three-quarters of an hour. The street in front of tho General's residence was blockaded by carriages and the house was crammed. The reception was bril liant bnt uncomfortable, and after remaining about twenty minutes, the Prince and party bade adieu to their host and hostess, and the scene. N. Y. World of this morning.

Mr. Ramsey said this legislation was luleudcd to afford the occupants of the Reservation a means ;ul eHiuuunuing uicir uuun iu mu iuuu owned by thcin. Mr. Nye said the lands were part of the pub lic domain, never having been set apart, and therefore no distinction should be made in the disposal of those lands of which the purchasers of iublic lands were deprived. The bill gave rise to a discussion which con tinued until after the expiration of the morning hour, when - the bill was recommitted to the Committee on Public Lands. The consideration of the currency bill was then resumed. Mr. Corbett referred to the present financial status of the Government, and said the couutry was gradually returning to a sound basis. The gold now accumulating in the banks could be held in the place of the three per cent, certifi cates, which the bill very properly proposed to pay off. lie would support the proposition to extend the banking facilities to the South and West, believing it to be demanded by tho imme diate necessities of those sections, lie also favored the provision for tho establishment of hanks on a gold basis, and thought these would eventually supersede the present national banks. Mr. Sumner opposed the bill, asserting that a redistribution of the existing currency could not he made without serious consequences to the business of 1 he couutry, and would not mate rially aid in financial reconstruction. He was disposed to assume the cause of the bunks of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston in this matter, because in 1801, at a time when the na tional securities had received a terrible shock, they furnished the means by which our forces were organized against the Rebellion, $500, 000,000 in gold being furnished by them. This bill presented simply the questions of enlarging the national bank currency and creating a sys tem of free banking founded on coin notos.

With the great burden of the publio debt, with the currency deranged, witn Industry paralyzed In every department, be called upon the House to pause and see whether some change of policy might not resu.t in the reduction of the large expenditure contem plated bi the bill. That was his opDositioa to the bilL There was no une of this preparatory bill. Four worus in an appropriation inn wnen tne time came would bo enough, and he predicted that those wi rds would be added lu the Senate to the Navy Appropriation bill. Under these circumstances, and with the eye of the country upon them, holillng them to their pledge mat iney would expena no money unnecessarily in the administration of the Government, he called upon them to watt nutil tne question was settled whether in future the work of the navy it as to be done in private yards, before they would launch out on mis expenuuure. Mr. Kaudall remarked that the gentleman from Massachusetts would find no more faithful allies on the Kepubllcau sldu of the House than he could In a solid phalanx or Democrats, it was nothing ne.v for them to vote in favor or to advocate ecouomy. They had stood here for year resisting corruuttons and lrauds on the Treasury, and would bs quite at home in continuing in that direction, aud oout.inuing to nave tue uouuaencn 01 tne couutry in nun respect. (Unlet, Incredulous laughtcronthe hepubllcan side.) -Finally the previous question was seconded, anl Mr. Bcoflelil, having charge of the bill, had an hour to close tns ueoste.
