| The sessInghaus-FrOsf Case.
+. j. Donovan, of St. Louis, counsel for
| representative Frost, has filed a motion to
suppress all afhdavits in support OF the con-
! test in the case Of Sessinghaus rs. Frost, from
! the Third congressional district of Missouri.
| The grounds Of the motion embody a very
J grave charge, which the affidavit OF the notary
| " no took the dispositions admits to lie true. In
| brief the allegations are that since The testi-
mony was written it has been out OF the GUS
tody Of the notary, and not safely kept as the
| laws demand; that it has been in the posses
| sion of strangers not under the control of an
officer; that it has been by them handled,
| written upon and altered; that without the
! knowledge or consent of Frost or his
counsel it was all taken from the
notary by one of the attorneys for Sgssing-
haus, kept in his Office and worked over by
| him, and many names and places of residence
of voters changed and parts of the testimony
erased. The sfidavits further state that the
attorney denied he had any of the depositions
| except that of one day, but his letters are
filed acknowledging the receipt OF the testi-
mony of great many days, and the notary
swears that he had many other letters to the
same purport, and that he got from him
every page of the dispositions. The House
Committee on Elections meets Thursday,
when it il expected definite action will be
taken upon Don0van's motion.
New Years at the white HOuSe.
Il, u,
the executive mansion, as usual, being the
scsne of the greatest interest The east
room, red, blue and green parlors, were all
thrown open. Linen was stretched upon the
carpets of the three parlors, but the rich car
pets OF the m ain hall remained exposed to
view. Palms and other tropical fruits fill. d
the spaces between the doors of the main
hall, and several magnificent floral gifts
adorned the east room and blue and green

tjves in Congress and their officials, accord
Jog 10 the programme. The general recsp-
t ON to private citizans took place between /
and 2 pm. and was largely attended.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
President Arthur's reception to day was
an event of much more than oriin airy impor-
taace hare from so3ial point of view. Ii
was the first occasion on which the present
Executive has opened the doors of the
White House 10 the public, and besides it
was really the Inauguration of the social
season of this winter. After the season of
mourning for the late President society here
has been at a loss, apparently, to
usual festivities of winter should continue
In respect TO the memory of the dead Presi
dent, that the winter season should not open
with the usual Pleasure-seeking events 50
soon after the burial of the head of the ma
ton was generally acquiesced in, but it was
left to the tribunal to determine when it
would be proper, under the circumstances,
for society to lay aside its outward signs OF
mourning and resume its practices and
no FFIU nj CIV
Year making it incumbent upon the
Pres dent, 10 accordance with the time
honored and popular custom to publicly re-
ceive visitors, furnished the occasion which
has terminated an era of mourning, and
though the sorrow OF the people at the loss
of the late President is too profound to soon
pass away soci, ty has in fact resumed its
sway here. The remainder of the season wi |
no doubt be more or less tempered by the
shadow of the national calamity, but it will,
it il conceded, be quito gay, The usual
rould OF balls, parties and receptions will
follow. To-day's reception was really an
enjoyable one. The weather was cold and
somewhat blustery, and that served to keep
away the vast throng which generally presses
at such an occasion. The visitors were not
so numerous but that all could obtain access.
The secretary of state stooa next TO the
President until all Of the diplomatic corps
had been presented, and then retired to the
