WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 1S70.-Prince
Arthur is winning golden opinions here
from all sorts of people. He is at once
abundantly gracious and sufficiently dig
nified. The court journals of this morn
ing give full accounts of his attendance
at the reception of the Presidentess

ceremonies, together with the British
Minister, Right Hon. Mrs. Secretary
Boutwell,, Right Hon. Mrs. Marshal
Sharpe, Right Hon. Mrs. Senator SEIZURE,
Mrs. Dick and Mrs. General Logan. The
President was absorbed in business, and
did not make his appearance. AT pre-
ciselY 3:l5 p. NJ" we are told by one of
the court organs, ''the royal visitors left
the reception, and the Prince, escorting
Miss Nellie Grant, led the way to the
conservatory, followed by Mrs. Thornton
and Gen. Badeau, the other gentlemen Of
the suit in company with Gen. BabcOck.
The beautiful flowers and plants were tae
object of admiration by all the royal Yisi-
tors, and the Prince expressed his gratid-'
cation at the privilege afforded to indulge
his pet taste. Miss Nellie obtained a
beautiful camelia, which she gracefully
presented to his Royal Highness, and the
Prince accepted it with many thanks.
Some time was spent in examining the
rare plants.

FURTHER FROM THE LEBANON
HANGING.
Au QuIet In WfIsen.


We saw and eonversed with parties yes
terday evening, direct from Lebanon, who
cOrrOborate substantially our report Of the
unfortunate hanging of the two negroes near
Lebanon on last Friday night. We infer
from their remarks that the negroes were Of
the very worst characters, against whom
strong presumptive suspicious attached Of
other offenses than those alleged The
parties say that the citizens of Lebanon and
Wilson county generally deplore the act,
preferring that the Law should have taken
its course, however aggravated may have
been the circumstances. They also affirm
that the citizens are entirely ignorant 10
who the persons were who so summarily
executed the two negroes, not even sus-
pecting any particular parties. They say
that it is generally reported that one Of the
men who took the negroes from the Jail
was masked, but that no one of the others
were. a-
We also learn that there was found pinned
to one of the dead bodies when discovered
a note warning all persons, at their peril,
from saying anything about the perpetrat-
ors, or giving expression to cOnieetures as
to who they were. -... ...
Great alarm existed in Lebanon on Sat
urday night, on the part Of the citizens, lest
the town should be burned, and but little
sleeping was done.
After the two negroes were cut downthey
were taken to Lebanon and buried in tho
back part of the cemetery, where the col
ored people were buried before the war,
the negroes protesting earnestly against
their intermentin theirOwn burying ground
The excitement growing out of the event
has subsidized, and all was again quiet in the
town and surrounding county.

dian says: "Quite an amusing scene, and
one indicative of the dignity of that au-

cured something in the appearance OF an

among such of his confreres as were

in rather peremptory terms, demanded
a slice. AS the pie, so DeLarge's
liberality had diminished, and there

that hastily in his own mouth. Elliott
