WASHINGTON.
ARTHUR AND GUITEAU HAVE RECEP-
TIONS.

WASHINGTON, January 2. The
weather to-day was everything that
could be desired, clear, cool and
bracing, and the custom of New
Year calling was very generally
observed. The fact that it was
President Arthur's first New
Years reception, attracted a full
attendance at the White. House.
All foreign legations were rep
resented, and the usual pro-
gramme was earned out. The dec
Grafton of the white house was less
profuse than in former years, be-
cause of the recent death of Presi-
dent Garfield, only plants and flow
ers being used, and those in modera-
ton. Even Guiteau held q reception
in Jail, and probably two hundred
persons, a large proportion of whom
were ladies, called on him.
