SOME Washington correspondent
has been guilty of very small and
spiteful piece of business in writing to
Western paper that the reception
given Hon. Casey Young and Colonel
j. NJ. Heating, of the Appeal, on the
Both of November, at Willard's s Hotel,
was nothing but free lunch blow-out
and that the attendance was, with
few exceptions, Of the usual character
at Washington free lunches His
name was perhaps not on the list of
select invitations. If so he had no
right to be there or to criticize the
affair. If, however, he attended upon
an invitation he betrayed the hospital
ity rendered and his lack of good
breeding by making any criticisms.
But if he slipped in and took his "free
lunch " without being invited, he is
thevery man whoought tospeak out and
expose the fraud; it may secure him a
card next time The man who can
speak so feelingly on the subject must
have had varied experience and
given it many full investigation.
The reception was suggested and ar
ranged by the national yellow fever
committee at Washington. They
selected the Both of November as the
time and Wizards Hotel as the place.
If it happened that the hotel was to
be reopened that day, all the better
for it might have been inconvenient
to entertain 300 guests in closed
hotel The committee could not con-
veniently buy a hotel for one days
use, so they secured the use of one for a
few hours and everybody seemed sat
is6ed with the arrangement except
one disgruntled bohemian. The
Louisville Commercial makes this
comment which is no doubt just anG
correct:
The reports given in the Washington
papers are utterly at variance with the
statements of this correspondent, and the
affair seems to have been, not only most
enjoyable one, but very neat compli
mcnt to the heroic recipients and appreci
ate9 greatly by their Southern friends
From these reports we learn that the full
Marine Band was present, and that "rep
resentative citizens of Washington anC
Georgetown, regardless of political faith
made up an assemblage which has seldom
been equalled." Ex-Governor Shepherd
made neat address of welcome, to which
Hon. Casey Young eloquently responded
Colonel Heating, editor of the Memphi
Appeal, and Rev. S. X. Marshall, o
Vicksburg, Miss, made short, effective ad
dresses
The banquet which followed the recep
tion was a splendid affair. Hon. Samue
J. Randall, speaker Of the house Of repre-
sentatives, presided-made neat speecl
in response to q toast, and in concluding
proposed toast to the health of Governo
shepherd, whose noble efforts in the caus
of carrying relief to the sufferers at tn
South be particularly commended. Post
master General Key made pretty speecI
and was loudly applauded. Among thos
present were Representatives Singleton Q
Mississippi, Springer of Illinois, Reagan
of Texas, Dibrell of Tennessee, Atkins q
Tennessee, BuclJner of Missouri, Congo
OF Michigan, Governor Walker of Vii
ginia, Aclslin Of Louisiana, Ketchum G
New York, and other notabes, beside
about $50 Of the best citizens of the Dis
trict, all Of whom are prominent busine:
men.

NEWS FROM THE EOTHEN,
Report Of WhaIer who Spent Last
Winter in HudsOh's Bay.

NEW LONDON, Conn.,. December 6,
1873 The schooner Era, Captain
Sanford Miner, of this port, twenty
three days from Newgumiute, with
twenty barrels seal oil and 800 pounds
of bone, arrived home yesterday.
Captain Miner reports seeing the
schooner Eothen with the Franklin
search party on the 20th of August,
1878, at the mouth of Roe's Welcome,
Hudson's Bay, latitude 649, longitude
81 west. Did not speak her, as he got
no nearer than three miles. She was
then cruising for whales.
A WINTER IN THE ARCTIC SEAS.
The Era sailed from this port July
IL, 1877, and made first anchorage at
Kings Cape, Fox Channel, in Octo-
ber, 1877 went into winter quarters
at Ackalaya and remained until July
], when she left for Whales Point.
Hudson's Bay. Captain Miner re-
ports an unprecedentedly open win
ter, thus confirming the statement Of
Captain Buddington in the schooner
Lizzie p. Simmons, who was in winter
quarters about eight hundred miles tc
eastward of the Era. 1t was not until
late in December that the Era was
frozen in. Arctic winters begin with
November and end with April. Wher
the Era left Davis Straits, on the It'll
of November, 1873, for home the wa.
ter was remarkably free from ice packs
and floating ice. Captain,Miner has
passed six winters in the Arctic Sef
and never before experienced so milo
a season as the last. At one time h,
doubted whether he would be frozer
in, so little floating ice beset him. The
comparative failure of the whale ant
seal fisheries in the past season i
largely due to the extremely milC
weather. ~
THE ROAD re THE POLE.
He scouts the theory of an opel
Polar sea, but says if one exists it cal

Channel.
