WASHINGTON, Jan. lltn, 1871.
The sombreness which has characterized
Washington during the first month of the
season has at last given way before ling
ling sleigh bells on the avenue and merry
life in the social circles. That Washing
ton is itself again, is the synonym of all
that is refined and genial in society, of
gayeties at the White House, private and
Executive dinners, receptions everywhere;
of beautiful women and brave men and
the odors of lovely exotics pervading ele-
CANT drawing-rooms. All these are hal
lowed associations of season at the Ma
tional Capital, and many of us can re-
member an intoxicating draught of its fas-
cinations during some Administration.
To award the palm to summer or winter
attractions, would indeed prove an apple
of discord yet as distinct as two cities are
the varied phases of this home of magnifi-
cent distances. do not forget the vine
clad hillsn beyond the sparkling river; /;
the exquisite flowers tempted into bloom
by the loving sunshine, nor the rare foil
age of the public grounds; but neither
can forget the misery of solitude and the
contrast which brings the terror of ban
quet halls deserted :" so at the feet of win
ter cast my fruit and crown him victor of

ture of the snow-laden trees and the pure
white sheen that covers all things, for the

tude is welcomed by all. Pennsylvania
avenue is alive with sieighs and sleighing
parties, every vehicle that will bear the
test being placed upon runners, and the
mile from the Treasury to the Capitol is a
glorious sight viewed from either end. The
winters holidays have been Sundays, and
their celebration has been lost, for the
spontaneity Of pleature alone gives it a
charm. and Christmas does not seem fes-
tival when divided into two days. For

Yates offered an amendment to the Con-
stitution that all persons nnder 35 years of
age, and less than IA years citizenship in
the United States be ineligible TO the Presi-
dency.
Kellogg called up the joint resolution for
the disposal of the public lands in Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar
kansas. Harlan expressed his OPPOSITE on
to the passage of the bill, because he re-
gardtd it as calculated to work injuriously
to the interests of the poor people in those
States, many of whom are colored. kel-
logg said the purpose of the bill was TO
place the public lands in the States named
on the same footing as public lands in
other States of the Union. These lands
cannot now be entered, and never will be
entered, unless under the homestead laws.
Thousands OF falr, broad acres in all those
States, that would be taken by the settlers
from the North and West are now closed
to them. The restriction of these lands
from the choice of actual residents has been
tried, and the lands have not been taken
IN. 1T was strange that Harlan should
seek 70 DENY to the Southern States the
privileges which his own State enjoyed.
Harlan said the system which had preva /
ed had been anything but a benefit to
Iowa. Thousands of acres had been taken
up by non-residents, and in some sections
YOU could travel for miles without meet
ing q settlement in the States named in
the bill. The provision of the Law. now
gave to four millions of freedmen chance
to become land owners, and the reason they
had not been able to avail themselves OF
it, was because they were too recently
emancipated from slavery. To repeal the
present provisions would be to debar them
fIom obtaining freehold, and these lands
would be taken up by wealthy people of
those States. and by non-residents.
Kellogg expressed his willingness that
Harlan should offer an amendment to OBJ
viate the contingency, which he favored,
and.for this purpose the bill was informal
