At the Cabinet mecting to-day the most mo- mentous questions under consideration were the soclal customs at Washington, Neither the Tresdent nor any member of his Cabinet reemed to be informed as to what the usages are. The ctiquette of siate-dinners was the chief tople, and the Cabinet officers wished to know whether they were cxpected to fnvite the Commirtees of the two Housca which had to do with thelr respective departments, Soveral umusing stories wera told of the expericnee of former Administrations. It nppears that An- drew Jolnson ueed to Invite members of the House, trking themall alphabetically; that Gen, Grant only invited bis fricnds, and nobmdy else, but ono Line made & singular mistake by “invit- ing the ardent Bourbon, Snulsbmi‘ of Dela- ware, Inntead of Sargent, of Callfornia, to a private political conference. FXPLANATION. The following facta throw lgnt on the elgnfi- eant election yesterday in Memphis: ** Mayor Flippin, of Memphis, elected two years ago as the nominee ot the Democratic party, was re- clected Thursday ns an _independent v ; munfeatton, 1n other tords, Scott asks thirty- e T OO d OIS onns | six Statea Lo provido.for tis wanis of twe, and for the butlding of nearly 2,000 miles ol rond {0 accomtnodate one city and a scorcol hamlets. A# to the proposition of the Scuthern Pacliic 1o build the road without subsidy, Scott scofls atit. Ilcsaysitis AN AUSOLUTR TMTOSSIBILITYS that the object of the Money bill fs to get the land-grant away from the Texas Pacific, sud thiero let the matter dron, - He clsima that it Is bad also a candidate. The vote was 2,017 for Flippin; 2,812 for Jahnson, and 1,019 for Ander- son. The colored vote was divided, but the ma- ority of the Republieans supported Filppin, I'ha rignificance of this election is tho defcat of the regular Democratic party and tho breaking down of the color-line. CHISESE IMMIGRATION, There are excellent grounds for beliof that the position which tho Administration will take in regard to the Chineso question is that, in the Jrst plare, those here must be fully protect- ed In life, peapecty, nud all thelr rights, As to the encouragenient of furtlier emigration, it §8 not desirable, nnd so far a8 it can it will be checked without violatiun of treaty. 1t will be for the Interest of the Pacific Codat that it shoull be restricted. The subject was bricfly consldered to-day fn the Cabinet, A EMUGGLING MIX, Navy officers who have thought that United Btates oflicers could smuggle with impunity are discovering thelr mistake. The rescarches of the Reyenue ofticers into their attompts to layl gouds frec from the Kearsarge in Boston revenl what has very much the appearance of o naval smuggling ring. Large amounts of goods are now befng trucked through the express oflices, It s discovercd chat mnong other things upon which an attempt was made to evade the dutles were ploes of hrandy for o Rear-Admiral, two large Turkish mge for a Communder's Touse, o set of Japanese furniture for an ofcer of the Nayy Depsrtment, Japancse and China sete of poreelain for soma naval clerks, and a larze minber of similar articles for othier dis- tinguished persons. It is expected that the revenue oflicers will make shinilar seizures on the Tallapooaa, which will probably arrive at the Washington navy-yard to-night.

In thut be makes u mistake, ‘Thoy don't know what they want, Up to the Way, the Southern 'ucu and Southern statesmen wanted nothing hut ** State's rights and n construction of tho Constitution,” They wanted the dignity of the Eouth preserved fn all its integrity, and there they stopped. There was no clanior then for rallronds; there were no graye measures for Internal Improvements, or larbors, or any- thing that makes o section preat and and facllitates trade. They merely demanded the recognition of “cotton™ as the Important clement” in the welfare of anation, and they never gat begond that point. While they were battiug for these principles, the North came i for approprintions and the West for grants, and the sesult was that the unimproved South, when it cume to the rub, went to the wall, And the Southern press, or st leaat a potential eicment of It, has mot advanced much 1o learning whot it wx:lutn.
