a son of Senator Clark, Of New Hamp-
shire, is doorkeeper of the reporters GAL

clerk of Senator Cowan's committee, at
Sc a day for doing nothing; that a son Of
Senator Doolittle is similarly favored;
likewise a son of Senator Howard; ditto
a son of Senator Dixon; ditto a nephew
of Senator Foot. while a nephew Of Sen

It happens that not a single n of the

We notice that the reformers are put

the retailing of Intoxicating liquor. In
Wooster, Ohio, at a large meeting, reso-
lutions were adopted to use all lawful
means to stop the retailing of liquor, and
to petition the Legislature to amend the
Law to prohibit the selling of ale, beer,
cider and native wine.
The Grand Jury of Cuyahoga County
have returned indictments against one

The Presidents New Years Re-
ceptiOn.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Notwithstand-
ing the disagreeable condition of the
weather from the recent storm, the first
New Years reception of President john
SON was largely attended. The doors of
the Executive Mansion were, at IL o'clock
this morning, opened to the foreign Min
listers and the attaches, who were in full
court dress, some Of them displaying
their glittering badges of distinction
Sir Frederick Bruce, the British Envoy,
was the first arrival of the diplomatic
corps, which was fully represented. The
greeting appeared to be mutually happy,
especially in view of the fact that there
is nothing in the condition of cur foreign
relations to threaten the disturbance OF
the general peace. All the members OF
the Cabinet, the Justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States, and other
prominent civil officers, together with
Senators and Representatives, also paid
their usual annual visit to exchange their
customary salutations with the Presi-
dent, 3sa o.
At half past eleven o'clock the officers
of the army and navy and marine corps
were similarly received. They were al
in uniform, Lieut.. Gen. Grant and stat
being conspicuous among the imposing
group surrounding the President.
At noon the reception of citizens com
menced and continued for more than two
hours. The Marine band performed il
the vestibule. The visitors entered TIVE
abreast and passed into the Auditor
rooms, and then having been several,
introduced by the United States Marsha
to the President, and shaken him by tn
hand, they passed into the East Room
from which they found an outlet througI
one of the front windows,a flight Of step
having been placed on each side of it 70
their egress. The daughters of tn
President, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Sto
! yer, were also near their father, and re
ceiyed lady and gentlemen visitors. Ev
erybody seemed to be cheerful in tho ez
change of the usual salutations.
! The public departments and other pla
! ces of business arc closed.

Negro Suffrage in the District OF
,ses Columbia.

80 %
In accordance witha resolution of the
city authorities of Washington, the test
question Of Negro Suffrage was submitted
to the people. The result was that about
1000 votes we're recorded against an ex-
tension of the franchise to the negroes,
and only 75 in favor of extending it,
This may be set down as a fair sample of
the sentiment Of the American people
But what of all that? The Republican
majority in Congress, regardless of the
wishes of the people otathe city and dis
trict, will doubtless persist in their de-
clared purpose Of placing the negroes on

New YORK, Jan. 2.-Gep. Sweeney has
issued an appeal to Fenians not to waste
their energies in intestine strife. Let
deeds, not words, be yeur motto, and
strike before it is too late and the golden
opportunity sslost forever. Our situation
is that of two armies whose chiefs cannot
agree on a line of operations. The vast
extent of British dominions offers many
vital points, and as we cannot reconcile
our views, let each army follow its chosen
General and attack where his judgment
tells him are the best chances of success.
Let this disgraceful squabble cease at
once. On the field of battle We will for
get all personal RANGER and factional pref
udice, to remember our dear country and
her wrongs and difficulties. The General
says: I can see but one way of escape. 1t
is to call in each State a Convention of
Delegates from the different Circles to de-
eide in whom they will repose confidence,
and then in silence allow Col. O'Mahony
and myself each to work out his respect
i've plan for the freedom Of Ireland.

seyere weather on the PLAINS.

KANSAS CRY, Mo. Jan. 3.-Advices by
the Santa Re coach say that intense cold
weather prevails on the Plains. Snow
bound trains have lost nearly all their
animals. Several teamsters have been
severely frozen, some fatally. Eleven
men were picked up along the route in a
helpless condition andtaken to Fort Dodge
for treatment. The anticipated heavy
Spring immigration to this place has al
ready begun, arrivals being greater than
any previous time. Eastern capital is
taking up business lots rapidly, and labor
and material for building are inadequate
to the demand.
