CONGRESSIONAL RECEPTION AT THE
HvHoUTIyE MANSION.

The reception given by the President and
Mrs. Lincoln to the members Of Congress last
night was brilliant affair. OF course both
branches Of the National Legislature were
well represented, In spite Of the extremely bad
weather, and accompanied by their fair wives
and daughters, they made a goodly show.
Their forensic weapons laid aside, all party
spirit hushed, the law makers Of the people
were in the most amlable mood, and they
passed a couple Of hours in social converse with
each other and with their distinguished host
and hostess In the pleasantest manner possible.
The East Room presented a really beautiful
spectacle. 1t was brilliantly lighted, and
adorned with vases Of flowers and baskets Of
rare floral treasures suspended TO the chande'
llers. Tho room was not crowded, so that an
opportunity for the display Of costumes was
afforded, and the ladies did honor to the occa'
sion by arraying themselves in rich and taste
full toiiettcs.
Near tho centre OF the room stood the Presl'
dent and Mrs. Lincoln, receiving their guests
with that hearty kindness and affability which
charactoriEes their manner on such occasions
Over all noated the rich music Of the Marine
Band stationed in an ante-room; and as the
company conversed in groups or promcnsded
to and fro In the principal room and tho cen
trail hall, the scene altogether was one Of rarc
beauty and interest. The company broke up
little bef6fe midnight.
