Compliment to senator ingalls,.

A complimentary reception was rendered
Senator j. j, ingalls,, of Kansas at the National
Hotel, last evening, which was very creditable
to the gentlemen who projected it. The affair
was entirely informal, and not intended as a
national demonstration. The evening passed
very pleasantly with songs by volunteer
quartette, instrumental music and dancing.
No speeches were made and every one was
made to feel at home. The entire Congress
sional delegation fron Kansas were present,
and among the other guests were the following
gentlemen of Kansas, who are in the city on
business connected with tho affairs of the
State General Halderman, Colonel Waters,
Colonel Harris, Judge Lathrop, Colonel w. A.
Brown, Captain Weaver, Judge Hanback,, and
Captain Burlingame.

A visit from the butchers.

Messrs, Varnell Homller Hoover, Gheen,
Keller, Kettler and others, consisting of
delegation of the butchers of the District,
waited upon the District Commissioners yes
terday afternoon in regard TO the tax to be
levied upon them in the new license bill. The
amount fixed is so, the present figure but
this they think too small and ask that it be
increased to 800. In support of the increase
they state there are large number of small
and irresponsible men selling fresh meats
from wagons and places throughout tho city,
much o + it of an inferior quality, and that the
responsible butchers, dealing in the best arti-
Gle, are injured by this kind Of business. De.
string to keep up the responsibility of the
trade they think this one of the best means Of
accomplishing 1t, believing that license
placed at 500 will be beyond the price the
cheap vendors wish to so to pay for the priv
ilege.
In making hasty calculation the Commits.
sioners found that the revenues from shat
source would become five times greater than
they now are, and they agreed to place the
matter before the committee having the bill
in charge.
