r-arefully reviewing the latent testimony
it t 0 case, that he said he saw hi t

that vat that it scented to him that Porter
bUoulitlmto been shot rather than dis
missed from tho army. It is thought n

will be restored to tho army and Graut

When Congress revassombUd yester
day, after the holiday recess, there was
n pretty full attendance of Senators, und
in the House about three-filths of the
members were In their seats. Mr. Davis
roflrom "3 tecB

ably prevented an effort to elect a Presi
dent pro tem.) bs there' was a possibility
that advantage would have been taken of
his absstico to elect another presiding
offic. r. Shortly after taking his scat and
calling tho Senate to order ho requested.
Mr. Edmunds to occupy the chair, und
then retired for the day. The' rjenat
trnnsaoted only routine, hu'dners, and ad
journed until to-day. There were but

Tho prluclpM eeut of the day was In
reading of n piolestfrorothe clerk's desk
by Mr. Ortli, in which he declared V at
ho bnd bjeu badly treated in his assign
ment by Speaker Kelfer to tho three com
mittees on which ho was appointed. He
poko of his long nud arduous service,
and claimed tbr.t the Speaker in his ac-
tlou bad done Injustice to him and.
through him, to his constituents. He
cocolr.ded by resigning his chairmanship
of the Committee on Utiles. His resig
nation was accepted.
Of the 203 representatives nud the 7
delegates in Forty-saventh Congress con

the stage of national affaira in connection
with publio legislation. They are gen
erally men who have served in capacities
more or less important in their respec
tive States, especially the lawyers aud
politicians among them; but few, except
those whose names were familiar iu tho
past in the muster-roll of Congress, are
of n reputation extending .beyond their
own borders. Best known of tho list are
Gen. Rf'seueraus, of tho Union army, who
represents tho city and county of San
Francisco, and Ex-Gov. Audtow G. Cur
tin, representative frein the Twentieth
distiict of Pennsylvania. '
Mr. Scoville and CjI. Eeed were in
oanitreuca ot au early hour this morn
ing, and will be engaged all day upon
tho preparation of law points which they
will present to the court for its ruliugs.
Neither of those gentlemen appear nt all
tiauguino of obtniuiug a verdict favorable
to their client, yet both of them stoutly
maintain Lot only that Guiteau was le
gally irresponsible for his act, but that
he is nt this moment au insane man, his
own assertion to the contrary notwith
standing. Mr. Scoville was greatly dis
appointed nt his failure to get before the
jury jestaday the additional expert evi
dence with which ho had, expected to re
but tho very daugerous testimony of tho
gow riuuent experts. Couusel for the de

Mr, Davidgu will then make the opening
argument lor the prosecution, which will
probably occupy the entire day. Mr.
Scoville will reply for the delense on
lucsdny, ttua wiir ud lOIIOwiaTby Ubl,
ltttd and Guiteau who will be permitted
to address the jury if he desires to do so.
J udge Porter will make the closing argu
ment to the jury. Mr. Scov.lle remark
ed this moruiug that he did not think the
arguments would consume more than
four days. If his expectalions are red
ized the casa will probably go tothe jury
no later than Thursday next. Although
but little has been baid of the jury in He
Guiteau case there is now beginning to
be some speculation us to what will be
their verdict. 'There are many diverse
opinions, aud with some it is believed
there will be a disagreement. Others
again predict that a verdict of guilty will
be bruugbt in shortly after the jury shall
havo retired, aud of course there is all
manner of bets ns to this.

WashisUtox, Jan. 9,1881.
The New Year was ushered in at the
Capital with the usual ceremonial of of
ficial receptions, though in a general way
tho custom of calling aud "receiving'
appears to bo somewhat ou the decline.
Tho ceremonial of New War's receptions
at the Executive Mansion has always
been a conspicuous feature of Washing
ingtou social and political life. George
Washington first inaugurated them when
the Presidential residence was located iu
New York City, and in tboso days they
were culled "levees," a name that is still
given to them in soma circlts. But the
receptions of the present day are vtry
differtut uffairs irom those of the early
period ot our National history. The
"Boyal Airs" which came down from
European courts have gradually disa-
pearud. In Washington time the strict
est rules (f social etiquette and decorum
prevailed. No motley crowd could ap-
proach tho powelered aud bewigged pres
ence. The President of the United States
was au august personage. Ilia receptions
were not for the vulgar. None came who
had not the right to come by official sta
tion, or who were not eutitled to special
privileges by reason of established merit
and character; nud one could no more
venture Into the presence of George and
Martha Washington on that day In any
other than lull dress, than oneoould now
in plain clothes obtain an audience with
the Queen of England.
But these affairs have become thorough
ly Amerlcanizeel.begiunlng with the time
0f.(lf;11-(i4'Jlekaou, ivhrto- emphasize
his Derriocraoy, beryc.t ft great cheese in
theEastnoom.of tho Whlto House on
New Year's dty, fragments of which were
trampled upon the floor to the ruin and
disgust of those aristocrats who disliko
"tho rabble." And iu those days, too,
tl.cro was cider in tho cellar. In our
day "citiznis gcncrnll)'' are admitted to
the White House, and one cannot only
see prominent business men and society
leaders from all parts of tbe country, but
side by side with them, and sandwiched
in among them, are the colored men who
opcu the tuors at the Departments, and
the still humbler class of person who at
tend thi stalls nt the marKet. The thread'
bare and tattered waterproof of the labor
ing woman brushes roughly against the
silk ol the modern belle. No distluctious
are made at tho President')) door. The
only discrimination as to incomers with,
in the people's hours is that which pre.
vails In horse-curs ''Drunk nnd disord.
erly not admitted." It is doubtful if the
founders of our Government, who still
clung to some of the ceremonies asd dig
nities of aristtcrmia Europe, ever con
templated establishing such a thorough
Democracy as our American Itepubllo
has come to be.
The official part of the reception at the
White House is stately enough, however,
and this year was ho exception to tho
rule. There was first the grand panor
ama of foreign diplomats, army officers,
Cabinet officers, Supreme Court judges.
and officials generally, marching in to
the musio of the Marine Band, always
stationed in tbe main vestibule on such
occasions. Tne diplomatic corps is a
prominent feature in tho social life of
Washington, nnd, a central figure on till
state occasions, is mntle conspicuous by
its tinsel and flummery. The showy
uniforms of frreigu courts parade the
parlors of the White House wilh as much
eisteutatiou as may be seen in tbe official
presence ol Kaiser William or the Czar
of ltussia. President Arthur parsed
thiough Lis first reception with the same
quiet grace with which he does every
thing. His manner was dignified though
agr.eableand easy, aud to well-known
p rsons or his own particular friends ho
was very cordial. Ho impressed every
oue with tho polish of his manners, but
as if the cares of stale weighed heavily.
Tho honsebohr being still in mourning,
the occasion was not given the usual fes
tive nature, hence the gns was uot light
ed, the blinds being thrown open to ad
mit the sunlight. The floral decorations
wero the simplest I havo ever sceu ou
such occasious.
Congress will uot do much fjr a Week
yet Amouu the first things it ought to
do is to proviile tor the payment of the
Ceusns clerks who have been in tho hantls
of the ten per ceut. sharks lor six mouths.
Most of them have been obliged to get
their certificates of time cashed at
heavy eliscouut, becuuse they could not
live without the u.ouey,l ut lew still hold
them. There is a dispe siliou on the nart
i'-m . o.bienMi:ea iu criticise th6 fi
nancial mniageiucut of the Census Bu
loau, aud to charge that Gen. Walker,
the late Superintendent, wis too liberal
in expending tho funds for ttnuectssary,
clerks; but if anybody is to blame (or
this it is the Congressmen themselves
who uaged the appointment of most of
the incompetents.
A part of Forepaunh's circus is in town,

who have wutched its piogress are fully
conviuced that there is no longer any
danger of a "hung" jury. The miserable
scouudrel who bos been pi eying such ft
