some person, who has been an employee at
the Capitol, in the department Of the doorkeep-
or ofthe House has written apamphletto prove
that General LippIncott, the popular and en-
Client doorkeeper, has acted eorruptly In his
office. The matter has been the subject Of In
yestigation by committee, and the result Is,
that Mr.. l.. has been found innocent, having
In no case done differently from any of his
predecessors in office.
The custom has been always, for certain Of
the assistant doorkeepers, during the recess OF
Congress, to go below into the folding-room,
aud assist In that department In folding and
forwarding books to the members, and such Of
their constituents as they might direct. When
any of these doorkecpers have desired to be
absent for one, two, or more months, or evon
for the whole time of the recess, the practice
has been for them to discount part OF their
salary to employ substitutes to do their work.
II man 10 allowed to absent himself from
his post and to spend his time at home or in
the prosecution OF other business, and still
draw the larger portion Of his pay, it is hardly
fair or consistent for him to complain OF his
superior who grants him this privilege.
General Lippincotts character will not be
injured by attacks upon his official course
anywhere that he 10 known, and especially
now that the investigation fastens nothing
reprehensible upon his official conduct, and all
such ISLANDERS, that he has used the money for
his own purposes, can do him no harm, and
can only reeoil upon the heads of those who
get them uf
We feel 1t to be our duty to make these cor
rcetIons In behalf OF good and popular OH
Ger Of the Government, and In defence Ct a
gentleman whom we believe to be an honest

The Reception on Saturday Evening.


Hon. Anson Burlingame, minister plenipo-
Tertiary ard envoy extraordinary from China,
with the chief ambassadors Of the legation,
gave a magnificent reception at the Metropol-
itan Hotel on Saturday evening. Many OF the
most distinguished people OF Washington were
present. Among those We noticed Secretaries
Seward, McCulloch, Downing, welles, and At
torney General Evarts. Many Senators and
Representatives also paid their respects to
the minister, his lady, and the members Of the
legation.
The British Minister and lady, the
Prussian Minister, Baron Gerolt and lady,
and others OF the different foreign lega-
lions, General q. o. Howard and several
other distinguished military and naval
men, very many OF the heads OF bureaus,
citizens and civilians OF w ashlngton and other
cities were also among the guests. Indeed, the
gathering was one of the most agreeable, as 1t
was one of the most fashionable, assemblies
for which this capital Is noted. Many lsdics
were also In attendance.
The early part OF the evening was spent In
agreeable, social conversation, till about 1880
O'Clock, when the dining hall was thrown open
and there was display Of tables loaded with
those sumptuous viands for which Mcssrs.
Potts and Shelly are noted for furnishing to
guests on all such occasions. The hall and
tables were handsomely decorated, and all
persons present partook Of reehsres repast,
with much apparent pleasure.
Some three hundred or more filed into the
hall and an hour or more was spent In discuss
ing the creature comforts, and, about twelve
o'clock, the company dispersed, all evidently
feeling that II was avery pleasant occasion,
and one to be remembered.
1t is surely something to be remembered
this commingling of the people OF the new
World with the arst citizcnB OF the ancient
Empire OF China. The object and purpose Of
this mission from that nation OF antiquity to
this country, especially as at the head OF 1t
stands a representative OF this land, honored
and trusted by that far.of people, will long be
remembered by all present.
We can all join in wishing Mr.. Burlingsme
success in his cndeavors everywhere to pro-
mote harmony, peace and fraternity among
the family of nations. lie goes from us, (the
treaty with our Government having been rati-
dcd,) carrying with him the best wishes OF all
our people.
