NEw-YEAR's-DAY CALLERs.-A very con-
siderable number OF families received their
friends yesterday, and at not few houses
the preparations were very elegant, both in
respect to toilettes Of the ladies and the re-
freshments offered. Richmond cannot be
said to he unanimous in favor OF this New
Year's-day calling and receiving, but
there are enough good people who appreci-
ate its merits TO make the observance quite
pleasant and fashionable.
The day was suited TO the season. A
light snow fell Sunday morning, and. the
weather being cold, il continued on the
ground, except where the wheels Of yehi-
cles or the spades OF enterprising house
holders cleared it off. Those young gen.
tlemen who do not own carriages generally
made up parties and hired hacks, and in
them went from house 10 house, and seemed
to have a real nice time. II there were eX-
cesses and misuse of hospitable invitations
they were few, very few, in number. and
not to be noted where the behavior Of the
multitude was 30 excellent.
There may have been New-Year's days
when more people received and when more
called, but probably never was there more
liberal expenditure Of money in the various
ways the occasion offered. That is another
proof that Richmond is prosperous.

THE GREAT TKAGEDIAN ENTERTAINED BY HIS
coNPATRI0Ts OF RICHMOND.

The GREAT THAgBD1AN ENTERTAINED BY HIS
coNPATRI0Ts OF RICHMOND.
Signor Ernesto Rossi, the eminent Italian
tragedian, was handsomely entertained on
Sunday afternoon at complimentary BAN
quet given at Monticello Hall in his honor
by the " Giuseppe Giusti Club di Lettura
ltaliano," literary organization composed
OF many OF Richmond's best Italian citi-
zens. The guests OF the Club on this
pleasant occasion were Signor Ernesto
Rossi; Miss Louise Muldener, the leading
lady OF the Rossi company; SignOr IL.
Rossi, brother OF the tragedian; Sig
nor MazZei, prompter Of the troupe !;
his Honor Mayor Darlington; Mr..
John a. PiZZini, Italian Nice-Consul; and
Mr.. James III. Pecor, treasurer OF the Rich
mond Theatre, who, in the absence from
the city OF Manager Powell, represented
that gentleman. There were also several
ladies-wives OF members Of the Club
present, the company all told numbering
about thirty. The distinguished guest was
formally welcomed by Signor V. Donati on
behalf Of the Club by means Of very ap-
propriate address, which was read. This
address eulogized Signor Rossi in glowing
terms and expressed qualification at his
presence; it also contained very hand
some and complimentary allusion TO
Mayor Darlington. Both gentlemen made
fitting acknowledgements, that Of Sig
nor Rossi being singularly pleasing
and effective, spoken, as 1t was, in the
choicest words Of his own native language.
Full justice was done TO the repast, which,
as a special feature, was elegantly gotten up
Ia cuisine Hdiiene by Signor Paulo
Danna. Conviyiality and sentiment ruled
for the time, and every one seemed in
spired with these feelings to such degree
as to make everything pass of most pleas
antly and enioyably. Signor Rossi seemed
particularly to enter into the spirit OF the
occasion, and his geniality and general
good-fellowship was commented upon
by all. He had a most able ally
in Miss Muldmer, who, besides act
ing as Interpreter when required, dis
played her rare accomplishments as lin
gIIist and conversationalist. She was voted
by all TO be most charming and elegant
lady. Signor A. Petri, president OF the
Giuseppe Giusti Club, presided at the BAN
quet, and to him and the following gentle
men OF the Clubs committee is due great
praise for the success OF the entertain
ment: Signori A. Stefani, V. Donati, l..
Gonnella, A. Donati, f. Jardella, A. Gian-
notti, f. Bernicchi, AMI G.. Gonnella. Be
fore adjournment signor Rossi and the
Italian Vice-Consul were honored by being
elected honorary members OF the Club.
At half-past O'Clock the Rossi party
were driven in carriages to the Byrd-street
depot, escorted by the members OF the
Club, where, after over an hours waiting
for the delayed southern train, amid cor
dial leaye-takings, the Italian visitors took
the northern-bound train en- route for Bal
timore, in which city Signor Rossi per-
forms this week.

Americans' Peculiar Prejudice.

OF all existing preiudices those governed
or influenced by the palate are most diff
cult to overcome, taste being Of all senses
easiest led astray by Imagination and sur
rounding circumstances; and, with all due
Difference to connoisseurs, we find that Il
label or brand on the bottle or package (as
the case may be- governs in too great mea-
sure the opinion OF the individual. Arpad
Harasthy a Co.'s Eclipse Champagne, sold
by Joseph VI. Blair, S26 Main street, Rich
mond, Va. (Virginia's agent, is absolutely
pure, being the only native champagne
made by fermentation in the bottle. II con-
tains only 1ls per cent. spirits, while foreign
champagne contains about l5per cent. The
duty, freight, &C., on foreign wine is SO a
case. A trial is all that il asked to convince
every one that those who do not like this
excellent dry wine are preiudiced to Ameri-
cas- production.

THE New ADAIsIsTRArIoS-Co
CAMERON AND MEssRs. LEWIS AND BLAIR
SWORN IN.-Colonel Cameron had a num-
Der Of friends at his house, in Petersburg,
on Saturday night to express their kind
wishes for him I'm his new official life, and
five minutes after ~ Judge Mann then and
and there administered TO him the oath Of
Office as Governor Of Virginia. On Sun
day he came to Richmond. Yesterday,
shortly before noon. Colonel Cameron, Mr..
Lewis, and Mr.. Blair met in the Library,
and in the presence OF about q dozen OF
their friends Judge Fitzhugh administered
TO each Of them the oath to well and truly
discharge the duties Of the offices to which
they have been respectively elected. Mr..
+. M. Garnet, notary public, had been
asked to administer the oath TO the Cover
nor, but an examination Of the Code re-
vealed the fact that the law required that
Judge of some court OF record should dol it.
Hence the change.
A great crowd OF colored men were
about the Capitol while the ceremonies
were going on in the Library. They seemed
very anxious TO see the new Governor, and
followed him down the steps when he and
his friends went out, ~ they did after
short stay, and then the Capitol was closed
for the day.
Mr.. James s. Browning, OF Washington
county, will be the Governors clerk.
Governor Holiday left the city yesterday.
At the Second Baptist church Sunday
morning DIR. Mcdonald prayed earnestly
that the Lord will bless the new Governor
in his administration.
Governor Cameron, with Mr.. John 5.
Wise and ladies, attended the Theatre last
night and occupied the lower left-hand box
as you look from the auditorium. An al
fusion to the Governor made in one Of the
songs was heartily cheered by the au-
dience.
Tomorrow the two houses OF the Gem
eral Assembly will re&ssemble after their
Christmas recess, and Governor Cameron
will then send in his message, which will
be brief paper, it is understood.

WARE STORE OF WATKINS, COTTRELL * Co.
YESTERDAY Messrs. Watkins, Cottrell Il Co.
opened their new hardware establishment,
i'm Stearn's block, Main street, opposite the
post-ofiice, and celebrated the occasion by
n handsome collation. spread as New
Years welcome. Mr.. Claiborne Watkins, in
saving TO the company OF friends how glad
they were 10 see them and how thankful
they were for the liberal patronage which
had long been theirs, pointed out-as he
had four years before, when president OF
the Commercial Club-the advantages OF
Richmond as commercial as well as
manufacturing centre. This was the days
theme Of Mr.. Watkins and Of Mr.. CottreU.
They realize the fact that Richmond is
doing well. Yet they believe she can do
better. The way they think il should be
done Is by tie establishment OF new whole
sale houses il all departments OF trade and
bv working up the country now opened to
lis by the extension OF the railroads branch
inc out from Richmond.
More wholesale houses, more capital
brought to Richmond, is what they talked
about. Their guests, after paying due at
tention to that subject, and after testing

tbe house and examined the stock. Many
of them were surprised at the greatness Of
the establishment. There are six floors
covered with goods. Two OF these are
beneath the street-noor, but are sufficiently
lighted from the rear. Here the heaviest
goods are kept. The street-tloor is practi.
cally a great sample-rOOm Of what is stored
elsewhere in the building. The three
floors above the street are for light goods.
There are two eleyators-One moved by
hydraulic power, the other by hand.
This store is to be devoted chiefly to the
wholesale trade, except that there will be a
department for fine cutlery at retail. The
retail business will be continued at the old
house, 1907 Main street.
The firm is composed Of Messrs. Clai-
borne Watkins, Orin l.. Cottrell, W. 5.
Robertson. and A. Sale Watkins-all young
and active men, inspired by what they Nave
accomplished with faith in Richmond's
future and desirous OF seeing her goods
pushed everywhere within our railroad
range.

RESOLUTIONS IN RELATION TO THE PENDING
RELIEF BILL PASSED By THE BAPTIST MN
Ie1ERSi MEETING YESTERDAY.

RESOLUTIONS IN RELATION TO THE PENDING
RELIEF BILL PASSED By THE BAPTIST MN
IsTERs' MEETING YESTERDAY.
The following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted at the Baptist
minister's meeting yesterday morning, and
committee, consisting OF Rev. Drs. John
Pollard, Jr., andJ. B. Hawthorne and Rev.
5. c. ClOpton, was appointed TO carry out
its provisions.
Whereas there is now before the Legisla-
ture OF Virginia bill to relieve the polltl-
cal disabilities Of persons who have in re-
cent years violated the law against duelling,
said bill having already passed the House
OF Delegates and has been referred by the
Senate TO their Committee for Courts OF
Justice; and whereas we look upon the
proposed action as violation OF the spirit
Of the Constitution and laws OF the State,
as an insult to Heaven and an atIront to the
moral and Christian sentiment OF the Nir-
gina people; and whereas the said bill is
no party measure. but extends its immuni-
ties TO offenders OF all parties, and is sup
ported in the General Assembly. by men OF
all parties: therefore we, the Baptist min
sters Of the city OF Richmond, in confer
ence assembled, feeling that great moral
principle is at issue, and our standing as Il
people before the enlightened opinion OF
mankind is involved, hereby make our
solemn and earnest remonStrance against
the proceeding contemplated, being salts
fed that in doing so we give voice to the
sentiment OF many thousands OF our city
and State.
Resolved further, That at a day hereafter
to be named we will seek hearing before
the committee having the bill in charge,
and there make our protest; and in our
efforts TO prevent the cOnsummation OF this
great wrong we ask the aid of all right
thinking men, and especially Of the rep
resentatives from the city Of Richmond in
the State Legislature.

What does the Dispatch mean by using
the word white in the religious statistics Of
Christ church in your last issuey One
would infer from the report that our con-
gregatiOn was mixture OF the colored and
white races-that we had negroes teachers
and scholars in our Sunday school. / do
not know who gave the report. Please do
us the justice 10 correct, a. we have not yet
reidjusted to this extent.
Respectfully,
A MEMBER OF CHRIST CHURCH.
[If our correspondent will look on page
1874, "JOurnal OF the Council OF the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, OF Virginia." for
1880, he will find that we copied verbatim
OF Eorntm the language OF the parochal
report Of Christ church TO the Council, and
all welI-informed Episeopalians know that
the word 'rhite is used in nearly all the pa
rochial reports 10 the Council, whether
there are any colOred members in the par
ticular church or not. Where the word
lohite is omitted in other Episcopal churches
by the Dispatch it is because we followed
the reports furnished Us by their rectors.-
