Washington Letter.
From out regular Correspondent.
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.

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
