Speaker Colfe... R.e.p,,op.

Notwithstanding Lent is upon US, the rage for
receptions is as great As at any time during the
season, and the levee Of Speaker Collar last
night was an evidence Of the fact. The night
was clear, the air crisp and keen, and the feeble
light OF the infant moon but 80 emed TO make
more chill the atmosphere, and cloaks, overeoats,
shswis, &C., were worn with comfort, whether

conveyed to the hospitabie mansion OF the social
Speaker in the more pretentious AMI stately
private carriages. We, ourselves, walked
footed 1t; and in the enjoyment Of that healthy
and invigorating exercise OF cool nights had
ampn facilities for noting bad sidewalks, ugly
ruts, and puddles OF water a trine too deep TO
have solidity sufieient to bear 1875 avoirdupois.
Experience makes wise, and the coldeu night
those attending receptions had better be con.
veyed to where they wish to 20 In or upon any
thing save their own muscle; better q broken
neck on such occasions than q soiled shoe or
skirt.
We were not In the most snisSie humor upon
our arrival at West Lafayette square, but en-.
Ieavored, under the influence OF Mr.. Coifax's
genial smile, to be dignihei, II not pleasant, and
succeeded sufficiently to note a few Of the dis
tinguished visitors, but the mishap OF the carly
part of the evening had Its due effect upon weak
humanity, and we left at an early hour. At
that time, however, the parlors In the mansion
were thronged with an assemblage Of beauty, In.
tellect, cminence and fashion.
Among those promenading we observed Sena-
tors Upton, Drake and stewart, and ladies,
Representatives Ashley, Eliot, Sawyer, Covode
md lady, Allison, o,Neiil and lady, Van Horn
and lady, Orth, and others Of the House OF
Representatives, Judge Miller, OF the Supreme

MASS Meeting In New York-The I'm.
parchment Question.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 2s.-An immense mass meet
Ing OF citizens opposed to Impeachment was held
at the'Cooper Institute this evening. Joseph
Gallatin presided. Resolutions were read de.
claring that the present political crisis 10 faught
with danger to Republican Institutions In the
United States; that the Government by and
under written Constitution 10 the only safe.
guard OF freedom affirming the right OF the
President to remove the members Of his Cabi-
net, and declaring the attempt to deprive him OF
that right monstrous perversion OF the powers
conferred upon the House OF Representatives.
The resolutions also deprecate impeachment
except as a last resort for the protection of the
Republic from disgrace or grievouA wrong. They
express confidence In the dignity and mode ration
OF. the Senate to save the country from the
dangers with which Il 10 threatened, and finally
denounce impeachment as scsndslous, wrongful,
counselling the people to trust to free discus-
sions and the ballot-box for redress In the event
Of the removal OF the President.
The resolutions having been adopted by AcciA-
nation, James W. Girard was introduced and
said that he regarded the meeting as a grand
gathering OF the people to protest against a
revolutionary movement to deprive the nation
OF Its lawful head.
The real crime OF Andrew johnson In the eyes
of the Radicals, was that he had opposed negro
supremacy.
Mayor Hoffman WAS the next speaker. In the
| course Of his speech, which received much ap.
plsuse, he said the assassination Of Abraham
Lincoln, and the impeachment OF Andrew John
son, would hereafter be equally odious to the
American people.
subsequently the meeting was addressed by
Hon. James Brooks.

PRICE OF ADMISSION TO THE STOCK
BoARD.-In allusion to the stockholders OF
Wall street, a day or two since, we s'a'eu
that the price Of admission TO the golo
board in New York had been raised to
$4,000. A gentleman familiar with the
machinery of Wall street informs us that
this price is charged for admission to the
old stock board. whose meetings are up
stairs, and which has sort of aristocratic
relation to the several other boards, of
whose existence people generally are not
aware. This highest board looks with dis
dain upon the mobocratic concerns below.
Fearing that there might be obnoxious in
truders, they put up their admission fee.
There are besides this the stock board of
the long room, admission $4,000; the gold
board, admission $4,000; and the open
board for general sales, at which anybody
can buy or sell for a fee of S., which is
good for q month. Though the manners
and habits of these boards differ widely,
the bulls and bears are busy with them all,
and old "cleft hoof" is quite impartial in
taking hand at every board.
