A NEW YORK OVATION,
Dining and Serenadins the Viee-Presi-
denf-A Big Party at weIcker's.

Saturday afternoon and evening was
devoted to serenades by visiting organizations to
the Senators and Representatives from their sec
tons, and the streets were alive with people until
after midnight. Several dinner parties were also
| given in the evening, the most important being
that in honor of the Vice President at Welcker S.
The following gentlemen, prominent i'll the bust
ness circles of New York, were the originators OF
the affair, which one of the finest that ever
took place III this city: Messrs. N. W. Cooper LW.

John Cochran, G. P. Halves, Henry F. Gillig, and
others were present as invited guests, the Vice
President occupying q seat al the right OF Mr. W.
Patton, who presided. The floral decorations
of the table were Of the elaborate and tasteful
designs, and were afterward sent to Mrs. Garfield
with the compliments of the party. While the
party were at table the Utica Citizens Corps sere-
naded them, and an adjournment TO the front par
lors of the house was quickly carried into effect
After several choice selections by the band, the
corps gave its peculiar cheer, and calls were made
for the Viee-President He responded by
appearing on the porch and made a
short speech, in which he thanked the
corps for the honor conferred, and said he
was proud to meet so many representatives Of stall
wart Republicanism, in which he and they be-
lieved, and was also glad to see them as friends Of
the senior Senator from New York, whom they all
delighted to honor. Senator Conklng was then
called for, and responded in feleitOus speech, in
which he congratulated the corps upon the SPLEEN
did appearance it presented in Fridays pageant,
saying that in all the coneourse no body of men
outmarched them. The officers of the corps were
then presented to the Vice President, and Senator
Conkling spent upward of half an hour in the
ranks renewing old aequaintaneeships. The corps
then proceeded to the residence of Representa-
tive Prescott, on street, and gave him aserenade.

THE TAYLoE MANSION.
Something About the Building I'm Which
the Art Loan Exhibit Is Held.

The Training School for Nurses is now
raising funds for its support by means of an art
loan exhibition, held in the old Tayloe house, at
Eighteenth street and New York avenue. Three
such exhibitions for charitable associations have
been held within the last year, and much the same
things having been sent each time, there ceased
to be much of novelty in the undertakings The
old house is interesting enough in itself, with its
| hOary legends of seventy years attached. 1t is a
curious old Octagon structure Of brick in that part
of the city west of the White House and near the
river. 1t stands a few squares above The old
Van Ness place, which shelters the cottage
of old David Burns, the first owner
of Washington, and faces Rawlins square, where a
bronze statue of that soldier stands guard. When
the retreating British left the White House smOk-
ing ruin, the Presidents family occupied the octa-
gon and stories of the dongs of those days enliven
its history. Since before the war it has been
empty and uninhabited. The sun pours laZily
over its front; children play on its worn and un-
even steps by day, and ghostly visitants appear
from its windows of moonlight nights. Spectral
ladies rustic their grave clothes down its spiral
stairways at midnight signs ard shrieks are heard,
and the delicately hung bells ring soul freezing
peals The great uneven rooms with their beau
tifully carved wood and marble mantelpieces, and
the queer recesses and hidden hooks, lend them
selves admirably TO decoration, and the ladies
have displayed great taste in the arrangement. In
one room is a collection of Washington relics and
articles of colonial and revolutionary times Mrs
General Lander presides over this place, and her
talents are all demanded in the duty of entertain
ing and explaining Her running descriptions are
something delightful to listen to, and one could
spend whole sunny morning hearing piquant
sketches she gives and the intimate bits of history
that the articles bring up. BENJAMIN Franklins
beer mug stands unabashed, and a barrel stave
with the brand of % G. Washington has been pre-
served from the shiplOads of -four that the old
patriarch sent to England from his mills. There
is an embarrassment of riches in all the rooms
and agreeable ladies in charge to explain 4
Martha Washington tea party was the diversion of
last night, and for the first time in twenty years
music, dancing, and gay talk filed the old house
and cheated the ghosts of their midnight revels
Hon. Hester Clymer was one of the most interest
ing visitors OF the past week. He and Mrs Clymer
did the collections and explored the place from
garnet to cellar, and, it is said, have decided TO
purchase the place from Mrs. Tayloe. Repairs
and reservations will be made this summer, and by
next winter the genial Pennsylvania will extend
his hospitality and renew the pristine glories Of
the ancient mansion.

CONVIVIAL COLORADIANSu
The Reception Given Saturday Evening
by senator and Mrs. Hill.

One of the most pleasant receptions
of the season was given by Senator y. P. Hill and
lady, of Colorado, last Saturday evening, at his
elegant residence on Massachusetts avenue, TO all
Coloradians who are visiting this city. The party
were representative men, and perfect type of
pioneerenterprise. They all seemed to be in love
with each other, and their large, warm hearted
host. Judge Belford, Colorado's Representative in
the House, whom 1.-THE boys as he calls them,

was present and lent his grace to the party.
To attempt to describe all the good things pro-
vided to eat, drink, and smoke would be futile.
The new President and his Cabinet were dis
cussed; the future of the great State funding,
refunding, and fun, until after midnight, when
the party and their host and hostess separated all
feeling that there was a camping place in Wash
ington where something better than wood and
water could be found-a friends house for the
weary mountaineer who had travelled so far TO see

WILL THEY INVESTIGATE ?

The Commercial Advertiser, a staunch Re-
publican journal of New York city, in a re-
cen. issue made the following observations :
"The Democratic Senators have permitted
Mr.. Senator Miller to take his seat. This
decision will be generally commemorative
ar Is anything relating to Miller and the last
legislature can be Communication 1t saves
the State the modification of an ipvestiga-
ton that would have disclosed shameful and
dlsreputable things"
1t now appears thst the State is not to be
saved this modification, for = protest signed
by the Democratic members Of the Now
York Legislature has been presented to the
Senate by Senator MCPHERSON. This protest
calls for an investigation Of the charges made
not only ~ Democrats, but by responsible
Republicans, against the new Senators. 1t
NOW remains 10 be seen whether the investi-
CATION will he entered into. In commenting
upon the matter, the World remarks:
Tho Republican members Of The. Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections may be ex-
| pected to be profoundly Impressed with the
statement that y majority of the members
elected to the Legislature were not present
when Miller and Lapham were chosen. All
| the Republican Senators nice united TO GUST
Senator Stockton, OF New Jersey, not even
upon the ground that a majority Of the Leg
islature of his State was not present and vot.
ing, as all the Senators who tOok part in the
debate agreed that it must be, but only spon
the ground that Senator Stockton had re-
ceived a plurality instead of a majority of the
votes cast. 1t will be a diversion for the I'm.
regenerate mind to watch the Republican
Senators az they eat the words they uttered
in the Stockton case, which of course they
will do with every appearance of appetite.
Of course the Democratic Senators will sup
port none but substantial objections to the
seating Of Miller and Lapham. On the other
hand, 1t is to be expected that the charges
brought by the Republicans of New York
against tn. methods used to seen re the cleo.
ton of Miller and Lapham will BE- thorough.
ly Investigated, and that the Republicans
who have brought these charges will be given
an opportunity to s~ubstantiats them"

SINGULAR CONDOLENCES.

1t is = somewhat Jsingu lar coincidence that
Blaine, Window and other members of the
present Cabinet have business, just a. Arthur
is seating himself in the Presidential chair,
that calls them to other fields Of labor. Win
dom wishes to retire from The worry of the
Treasury Office and is laying the wire for his
return to the United States Sci nate from
Minnesets, and Blaine wants to take hold Of
some large business enterprises else where.
He is so gIad-so gratifed to be relieved from
the responsibilities Of political life that he
cannot refrain from advertising the fact 10 the
world. OF course Arthur's succession to the
Presidency has nothing to do with these new
born wishes entertained BY gentlemen of the
Cabinet. II is only one Of those singular CO.
incidsnces which frequently happen in the
best arranged political families. Even Sur
veyor-General Mason, of this Territory, who
has been in Washington for some time fgur-
ing upon the situation, has concluded there
are inviting fields of labNr in which he can
more advantageously employ his talents than
in the position he now holds, has resigned.
The hegira of Federal officials has COM
menced. Poor Arthur, must be eadly NOR
tilted thus to be deserted by his friends, al
this j~uncture in his administration.
