Washington, D. C. Jan. 3, 1881. Our New Year opened up as bright and balmy as a May day. The sun hone brillianatiy, and the beautiful weather was enjoyed to the fullest stent by our callers'. Even our "old est inhabitants," who, in resistance to modern innovations, are as tenacious and unyielding as the Bourbous, gen erally succumbed to the seductive in fluences ofTered by the clerk of the Weather nnd our handsome ladies, and joined in the throng of callers, whose carriages rolled through the streets from early morning till late in theeven ing. In ante helium times there was no observance of New Year's day as a holiday wherever slavery obtained. The slave began his round of gaiety on Christmas eve and ended it with New Year's morning, going then to work precisely as on other days of the year. The master himself conformed to the custom, and nowhere in the South was it observed as a day of rest or leisure. Iteneo the custom of devo ting it to calling on friends, and there by keeping alive old memories nnd friendships, came here since the war san innovation which our native old fogies have resisted and condemn ed, though Willi nnaually lessened col umns, until now a mere corporal's guard refuse to open their house and usually hospitable boards to their ac quaintance. These we will bury, with their prejudices, in another year or two, and then Washington may be regarded as wholly rejuvenated. The White House is of course, the first nnd main object of attention. Official etiquette requires the members of the United States Courts, as well as each subordinate official, from mem bers of the Cabinet down, und soldier and sailor, to pay their respects to the President on New Year's Day, and as the foreign legations are also included in this compulsion, the White IInuc necessarily becomes the centre of tin immense throng of callers. The glit ter of gold and decorations is seen on all sides, even 1 to 2 o'clock, when the doors are opened to the common cil izen, who pour into the mansion with jam and crowd that is fearful to weak nerves and costly dresses. The in terior of the White House was never more tastefully decorated. The cor ridors bloomed with potted plants, whose fragrance filled the air. Flags were arranged in various forms in all the parlors, and their folds, as well as the chandeliers and mirrors, were festooned with flowers and evergreens. The Marine Band discursed it sweet et strains. The President and Mrs. Hayes, with her assistants, "received" In the blue parlor. The toilettes of these ladies' us well as those of the ladies of the foreign legation, were ery rich and beautiful, and the "re ccption" throughout may be taken as a decided sueees in number and splen dor. The parlor of the Cabinet otll ers were also thronged. There were many gay scenes about the city, for balf the world, the ladies kept open bouwe, and the other half wm out cal ling. Tiie tUU of ladies who would teceive, which our papers published, covered nearly all our elite and "small r fry,' and right well was the day employed. Our ladies generally dis countenanced the dispensing of liquors, nd, as consequence less inebriation was seen than in the past. The day, however, had with it some anguiuary a-'cts. A colored man opened the bloody ball by shooting another negro to death and danger ously wounding two others. These three men were in the murderer's drinking stdoon, and becoming bois terous a quarrel ensued, out of which grew the deadly assult. About mid day young lady named Morton at tempted to kill Senator Morgan a (of Alabama) ion, but inflicted ouly a slight wound in his ahoulder ' with her pistol. She was immediately arrested, but was perfectly cool through out the wholeatluirand examination at police headquarters. Mies Hortoncame here from Alabama lust summer and entered suit aguiust young Morgan for breach of promise and seduction. Ilt r btory of wrong" suffered at Ids bunds Km teuiltAone, and, if true it is no M-onder she Is inclined to take sum mary biw Uter own band. h f I 1 Til il ' Elk County Court Proclamation.

THE SUN FOR 1880. The Hun will deal with the event of the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well understood by every body. From January 1 until 'Decem ber 31 will be conducted us n newspa per, written in the Knglish language, and printed for tlie people. As a newspaper, The .Svn believe in getting all the news of tlie world promptly, and presenting it in the most intelligible shape the shape that will enable its readers to keep well abreast of the nge with the least un productive expenditure of time the greatest interest to the greatest num ber that is, the law controlling its daily make-up. It now lias a circu lation very much larger than that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys an income which it is at nil times prepared to spend liberally for the benefit of its readers. People of all conditions of life and all ways of thinking buy and read The SfNi'mid they all derive satisfaction of some sort from its columns, for they keep on buying and reading it. In its continents on men nnd a flairs, Tin: .Siw believes that the guide of policy should be common sense in spired by genuine American princi ple and backed by honcaty of purpose. For tliis reason it is, and will continue to lie, absolutely independent of party, class, clkpie, organization, or interest. It is for all, but of none. It will con tinue to praise what is good and re prolmte what is evil, taking care that its language is to the point and plain. ur.x'iiu mi- po.ii unity 01 oeing mis understood. It is uninfluenced by motives that do not up tear on the sur face; it has no opinions to sell, save those which may be had by any purch aser wit li two cents. It hales injustice and rascality even more than it hates unnecessary words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and deplores nincompoops of every species. It Will continue throughout the year 180 to chastise the first class, instruct the second and discountenance tlie third. All honest men with honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken, are its friends. And Tin-: Srx makes no bones of tel ling tlie truth to its friends and about its friends whenever occasion arises for plain speaking. These are tlie princples upon which The Sex will be conducted during tlie year to come. The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic American can afl'ord to close his eyes to public affairs. It is im possible to exaggerate the importance of the political events which it bus in store, or Ihe necessity of resolute vig ilance on tlie part of every citizen who desires to preserve the'Uovornment that the founders gave us. The de bates and acts of Congress, the utter ances of the press, the exciting contest of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout tlie country, the varying drifts of public sentiment, will all'bear directly ellcctively upon the twenty fourth Presidential election, to be held in November. Four years ago next November the will ot the nation, a expressed at the polls, was thwarted by an ubominable conspiracy, the pro moters anil beneficiaries of which still hold the ollices they stole. Will the crime of l&7t be repeated in 1880? The past decade of years opened with a cor rupt, extravagant and insolent Ad ministration intrenched at Washing ton. This Srx did soni thing toward dislodging the gang, and breaking it power. Tlie same men are now intri guing to restore their leader and them selves to place from which they were driven by the indignation of the peo ple. Will they succeed? The coming year will bring the answer to these momentous 'questions. The Sex wiJl be on band to chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to exhibit them clearly ami fearlessly in their relations to expediency and right. Thus with a habit of philosophicl good humor in looking at tlie minor affairs of life, and in grate things a ttteadfust purpose to maintain the rights of the people and tlie principles r I... f ...,!..,.. n sors, 1 he St:x is prepared to write a truthful, instructive, and at tlie same time entertaining history of IfW.
