22ND OF FEBRUARY. In the olden time the
anniversary of the Birth Day of Washington
was celebrated, in Alexandria, with every de-
monstration of respect. National Salutes were
fred-hags we're raised the volunteer compa-
MES and civic societies paraded-the fare~e'l
Address was read and an Grafton dellvered-a
public DINNER was given-business was entirely
suspended-and all the stores ciosed--and
splendid Ball at night closed the festivities OF
the occasion How different now. Some pa
tr;otc voung men, this morning, rang peal
on the Fire Engine bells, and juvenile hook
and ladder company the Star No. 2--marched
trough the streets; and that was all. business
goes on, as usual, and there is nothing to mark
the day as different from any other in the year.
The young gentlemen of the Literary Associa'
ton will have Supper and an Address to-
night, and the Brotherhood Of the Union will
give a ball, and that will be the extent OF the
celebration of the 22l in Alexandra in 1869.
We hope this will not be so again. There
ought to be in old Alexandria, every year, a
general, public remembrance of the Day, 1t
is peculiarly appropriate here.

was marching. Rumors regarding the situation
are conflicting One report states that he has

trips between Baltimore and this city. She arrlv-

ever carried. The Columbia aslong been iavo-
rite steamer, and with her present officers, will
always continue to be a safe and pleasant boat
to travel on, and reliable vessel for the trans
portation of freight. She has been very much
i'm proved in her general appearance. and Is
now such stylish looking boat that MIR. lava.

be chartered to so after Minister johnson,
who has obtained temporary leave of absence
from the Court'of ST. James. If such should
be the case, and Mr.. Kavanaugh should de-

another pack of blood hounds as he once land

SPECIAL DISPATCHES TO THEGAZETrE
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. The Senate met at
- clock, but Immediately adjourned, in honor
of the day, until O clock this evening.
In the House of Representatives, alter some
filibusterng, the Memphis and Ell Paso Pacific
Railroad bill was passed This is Gen Ere
mont's bill
The President to day sent to the House his
veto of the copper tariff bill.
A caucus of Senators was held this morning
in regard to the Civil Tenure of Office bill,
and for the purpose of having some concerted
action on the bill. 1t is said that the debate
was stormy one, Messrs. Thayer, Morton and
Robertson favoring a repeal Of the act, con-
tending that it was not fit caucus question,
and declaring that they would vote for repeal,
regardless of caucus action. The caucus ad-
journed to meet after the adjournment Of the
Senate, and it was for this purpose, really,
that the recess was taken.
The Reconstruction Committee had the
Texas bill before them to-day, but did nothing
with it. A few names from Virginia were or.
dered to be reported for the removal Of dis
abilities
1t is not likely that any bill, either in regard
to the Constitution Of Virginia or for the re-
moval OF disabilities, will pass at this session.
