WASHINGTON, d. G., Jan. 2.
NEW YEARS.
New Years day in Washington had none Of
the brilliaucy of other years, which must be at
tributed, in great measure to the fact that no
official receptions were held, in consequence of
the death of Mrs. Belknap. The day was beaut-
fully fine, and street travel was not altogether
unpleasant. The private receptions and enter
tainments were very numerous and many of
them elegant. SAM WELLER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--The executive man
sion and residences of the vice president and

THE LEE ESTATE.
The president, with the vice president drove
over to Arlington and spent part of the after
noon visiting the graves of the soldiers buried
there. The president stated that persons pro-
Tossing to be agents of Mrs. Lee had sought in
terviews with him to talk about her claim to
Arlington, but he refused to have any conyersa-
ton with them on the subject. 1t was after
these retusas that Senator McCreery introduced
the resolution relative to Arlington and the dis
interment of the remains of soldiers there, upon
which there has been so much comment.
