The Presidents RECEPTION OF THE JAPANESE
EMBASSY The reception of the ambassadors
from Japan by the President of the United States
for the presentation of their credentials, will not
take place tomorrow, as heretofore announced.
THE JAFANEsE EMBASSY 1t Is proper that we
should call the attention of those gentlemen who
have the japanese ambassadors in charge, to the
fact that they have to deal with very polite and
exceedingly ceremonious people; more so perhaps
than any other people in the world. Even small,
Insignificant things, inofensve In this country,
but in opposition to their sentiments of decorum
and dignity, may spoil, more less, all the bene-
hts this country Is expecting from their visit
We noticed with no small regret that, yester-
day, while the procession was coming up from the
Navy Yard, squads of half-grown, dirty and
ragged boys were surrounding their carriages
extending their hands to the ambassadors as they
are used to do to our Indians, and most likely
placing those gentlemen into very embarrass-
ing position, and entirely in want of harmony
with their character ambassadors and with
the dignity of treatment which this country owes
to them as It's invited guests We saw even a
tile ragged negro boy, following the example of
his white eompeers, stretching ont his "paw'' TO
shake hands with the japanese chief officials
We learn from gentlemen who have been living
In Japan, that our officers, soldiers, etc. have been
always treated there with the most scrupulous po
likeness and attention. Whenever they paraded
the streets of japanese city, the people would
stand politely on the sidewalks, but in no instance
would they press upon the strangers or obtrude in
their strolling marching.
We should do everything in our power to i'm
press our guests with favorable opinion Of our
country; but we must stop all such proceedings if
we desire to be successful Some NAV ascribe
such scenes to our republican independence; but
violation Of the dignity Of the position of the
strangers and the rude behavior on the part of our
gamins' do not constitute elements of our ma
tional character, and much less of our republican
independence.

succeeded in peIsGading the girls to get into

Of taking steps of dishonoable nature with the girls

the consequences II the boatmen should succeed in
landing them where they wanted, began to scream at
the top Of their voices for help.
The sounds, which were hideous penetrated the ale,
and had due effect, they heard at distance by
some persons, who gave immediate information TO the

Mr.. Pryor entered the House OF Representatives.
mt the usual hour sbs morning, after an absence OF
five DAYS. The contrast between bis reception ans
that of Mr.. Potter on Friday could not have been
more striking and significant. TWAS the difference
between On ovation generous and hearty, spon-
taneous and simple, and yet unprecedented ana
unexpected, and reception in which 1t Is dii'cuis
to say whether undisguised neglect or ilconceaied
contempt, was the more prominent feature am
referring now to the reception given 10 Pryor oy
the Democratic side Of the chamber Had ne
been absent for five days a common business
visit to Virginia, his return would have called form
greetings far more numerous. While, had an ordl-
nary ague kept him from his seat that length of time
bis recovery would have been welcomed by general
nodding Of heads and an occasional shaking OF
hands from the more ardent of the chivalry; bat
to-day he entered the House, walked to his seat
with an uneasy ar, not member noticing him on
the way and quietly resumed the cushion which be
80 Ostentatiously aaitted on Wednesday last Soon,
and as if BY mere accident some three or four
Southern gentlemen who seemed or affected to be
passing near him on business errands shook him by
The hand in the most commonplace way. And
that was the beginning and theend of the reception
Not long afterward IN went into the most requented
part Of the lobby, adjacent to the Democratic, side
of the chamber and there stood for some time,
pretending to read bit of manuscript; but though
many persons passed him, not one individual greeted
him.
A little later, after his return to the Ral, South
ern member called Pryors attention to the fact that
the stock Of pistol was protIuding from the rear
pocket Of his coat Thereupon he withdrew to the
cloak room, adjusted Bis dress and not long after
ward disappeared for the day.
Comment upon the difference in the treatment
meted out to Potter and Pryor. by their respective
friends. on these two occasions, is unnecessary. IL
is conclusive proof which Of them the general judg-
mept of friend and foe assigns the triumph TO- ia the
recent controversy. 1t is an irrevOcabe verdict
upon that point of the case at all events; and in
such matters, public opinion never errs.
