New YEARS DAY IN WASHINGTON. Yesterday was
faithfully observed in our city as holiday In the
midst of the hilarity which rcigncd throughout its
length and BREADTH rendered peculiarly agreeable on
account of the brightness and beauty Of the day
Our neighbor of the STAR who takes notes on all
passing events produced the following description
of the state of things, which adopt:
" 1Fow Years Day an Washington All our
worlds fagog to-day, drinking, eating and making
merry. From II a. m., until P. M, according to
prevailing custom, the houses of hundreds of per-
sons, mostly in public life, were thrown open to all
acquaintance who choose to call. Eggnosg and
applc-toddy were ready for the guests i'll most OF
them, though it is not customary on such an occas-
ion to drink sufficient to have it show upon the
drinker The day has been one of great hilarity,
indeed with all around us.
The President (who docs not join in this universal
treating visited by perhaps, five thousand poo
pie, comprising persons in every walk of life. From
IL, a. H. until ., p. m, all parts Of the reception
rooms of the Executive mansion were crowded as
no other reception chambers i'll this country
The corps dplOmdtiQue, and the military and naval
men in Washington, were there in full costume. of
course; their gaudy trappings even casting into the
shade the finery of the ladies, hundreds of whom
were most elegantly and cxtravaganty attircd. The
Preaident received his guests with the marshal of
District of Columbia at his side, who introduced all
strangers to him. their names being whispered in
his ear as they arrived Immediately in uxtapostion
with the Chief Magistrate 1t was impossible, of
course, for any one to say more to the President
than to pass the compliments of the season; the
pressure OF arriving guests, coming IN the packed
stream as resstless as that of Niagara, apparently
forced all before it to push ahead and keep moving.
The pressure of the crowd went hard here and
there with the toggery of lady gentleman, and
at times with toes persons Indeed, for five min
utes we were well-nigh snothercd between two-dow-
ager-looking elderly ladies' who sadly per-
picked on causing much misery for the instant,

were received snd treated; friends, who retail
butter potatoes in the Centre market, very prop
erly holding their heads quite as high the foreign
ministers and United States senator's, in whose midst
they stood. We confess to great pride in Washing

We do not hold General
Pierce, or any one man or
President, responsible for it.
This unjust, unequal and
impolitic " donation of alter
nate sections Of land for the
purpose of aiding in the con-
struction of Railroads in the
new States, and not in the
old States, which has thus
far carried the Democracy to
sea, began long before his
day. The Federal Govern
ment is committed to it by
every President who has
swayed its powers since the
days of Jefferson. The pre-
sent Administration has de-
-clared it to be the SETTLED
POLICY of the country.
Hence it is, we are told,
that the policy of Give! Give!
is the settled policy THAT
the TRUSTEE of the States has
usurped the very name and
rights of a proprietor" of
= the Public Lands. Hence it
is that the common property
of all and each OF the States
is absorbed and squandered
and not held.
