WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 1872.

In the House, reports were called from the
standing committee. After the disposal Of a
number of private bills reported from the commit
tee on claims, a long debate arose on a resolution
reported by Mr.. Slitonstall from the committee on
manulactures. 1t desired the House 10 grant pow
err 10 The committee for sending for witnesses from
various parts OF the country, for the purpose O!
giving evidence IN relation 10 the tariff. Mr.. 5
explained that 1t would be impossible for the com
mltteo to 90 justice to so important a subject au-
less they could have the benefit of testimony
from practical business men.
Mr.. w. e. Johnson renewed his opposition t."
the subject being placed under the supervision Of
the committee on manufactures. He thought the
general interest Of the country would suffer in
the hands of n comGittee raised in view of Il par
ocular interest. He preferred the committee on
WAYS and means, or a select committee.
a.. Hahetsham opposed the resolution on the
ground M; so sauch Time would be taken up IN
taking such testimony. that the report Of The com
mlt.ee could no, be prepared te.oEe the end Of
The session.
Mr.. Wise said he asglad tbs subject had been
referred to the committee on Manufactures. as
now the var arains, protection would be open.
instead of being disguised, as it necessarily would
have been had il been referred TO the committee,
on ways and means. He was opposed 10 Protec-
ten.
After some remarks from Mr.. TIlliushas'. the
morning hour expired. and the further cousidera.
ton of the subject lies over until tomorrow.
The House then went into committee on the
treasury note bill reported yesterday.
Mr.. Fillmore made n statement showing the ne
cessiiv for the immediate passage Of the bill.
Mr.. Wise. after some remarks on the course of

As we expected, the sun rose III the east, ana
dawncd upon the new year without a single cIoHo
to hide the majesty Of his face.
AT eleven O'Clock, | cast my eyes along the
Avenue, and there were hundreds and hui'~F|"s
of pure, excellent and enchanting women, attend
ed by their fathers, their husbands, their sweet
hearts, quietly vending their way to tho White
cottage occupied by his eXceltoncy the President
O.. the United States.
Al twelve o'clock, the doors were thrown O.
pen, and there stood his excellcncy hanked by
Secretaries Of the Treasury and Navy, whIie me
Secretary of War supported him n the rear.
The ladies poured in, n living stream oil beauty,
and the way they almost kissed his exce.iency,
was quite n caution. Who can describe the scene!
Really, Il man couldn't look at 1t without ieeiIng
as the Yankee did when in love. lie sad the
sensation was "jsst as If a briar was beng drawn
all over him"
The Marine Band did no, forge, to play, as
thew received their usual .'quid pro quo." The
iaborer is worthy of his hire They only refused
10 play once, and that was when they "ero re-
quired to work gratis.
Tomorrow being Sunday, the usual evening
amusements arc of course postponed nntii next
week. Nearly al! The tickets for The Etiemen's
Ball have been sold already. 1t IS said the Pre-
sideni,has promised to be :here. II so, his arr
val will be announced in the usual manner, VIZ:
b. tho sound Of trumpet. There IS Il beautiful
Jewess in the city, from Philadelphia, who 1t Is
said dances like a svipb. She is also to be IN
attendance, so people will have their moneys
worth.
Tho Temperance Societies made a most g'ori
GUS display. Their music, banners, &c, gave
them the appearance Of II great army marching
to pull down tho castles of old King Alcohol.
The addresses were excellent. and the display OF
the grand transparency, showing the diseased
stomach Of the drunkard, was an etioctual lesson.
Lord Morpeth IS expected to arrive in the cars
this evening. I understand he will be honored
with a public dinner.
