THERE was just the least bit of dancing at Gov. Eagles inaugural reception. Not enough to justify the appellation of "ball," yet sufficient to arouse the critics disposed to con. slider such a proceeding inconsistent with the former teachings of the gov ernor. The dancing was not on the programme, therefore very much out of place, and to our mind the criticism should be directed to those giddy young people who indulged in the worldly pastime without so much as asking permission of the host and hostess, rather than against the gov ernor and his wife. They are the innocent cause of all the trouble.

HON. c. K. BRECKENRIDGE has pro- mulgated his answer to the charges preferred by Mir. Clayton. He an. swers every charge specifically and demonstrates clearly the weakness of the contestants cause. Congress. re- publican though it be, cannot afford to stultify itself by the admission of MT. Clayton on such fiimsy pretsxts as his contest IS based upon. If justice is done MT. Breckinridge will retain the seat to which he was un- doubtedly fairly elected.
