The Christmas holidays are over and those of New
Years approaching. The fashionable world is quite
delighted with the Presidents Christmas party, and
look forward, with pleasing anticipation, to the New
Years rout little of exclusives is now formed
under the immediate patronage of the President who
has set himself to the grand object of separating the
true and acknowledged fashion and rank of the COM
munity from all with those who are not exactly
Of the right SORT The social institutions of Washing
have long, in his estimation borne resemblance
the political institutions Of the country and admit
ted such society," the city affords respectable per
from every quarter of the country, without very
rigid scruny into their pretensons, people Of fash
ion. The system is to be changed AMI we are to
meet every ball and soiree in the city, the same un-
varying set of dowdy matrons, frumpy old maids and
gawky girls who belong to the set who arc now for
The first tme be recognized extremely fashiona-
bic. The scale established by the President is pecu-
liary arbiirary-for instance, clerks with three thou
sand dollars salary, invited and those OF two thou
sand salary are excluded. Perhaps the idea is that
person worth only thousand salary, cannot afford
to attend party, and in this, the President is right
enough.
On Friday the public New Years levee is to be
held and that the Irish laborers, ee negroes &c.
to be admitted, in their shirt sleeves heretofore
and il is probable there will be beside them to pay
their respects to his Majesy-those whose names are
the invited list for the evening being very
likely to go, uninvitsd, in the morning.
The long pending reference oftbe Michigan question
is decided and the boundary question and the spplica
ton Of Michigan for admission both referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary. The President il was
asserted has assured the people Of Ohio that he will
veto any bill for the admission of Michigan into the
Union, until the Boundary question is settled. There
is thirst for speaking already manifest in
the House. Every new member has with dozen
of set speeches which he is determined to let
of.
