WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossiP, President's Levee.—The announcement thet there was to be a public reception at the Executive Mansion naturally created a sensa- tion among the ‘‘ sovereigns”? while the nim- ble fingers of the mantua makers were tasked to their utmost ability by the fairer portion of hamanity. The evening’ was cold, and the streets are like the celebrated Jordan road, yet on arriving at the spacious portico of the White House, we found a crowd entering the portal. Les grandes dames were handed from their ‘carriages by domestics in livery, the Bourgeoise alighted on tho avenue from the equipages de Vanderwerken, and the peo- ple, independent and happy, came on foot. Hail Columbia! Side by side with a bello of the upper X, belonging to a double-F-V., in Tustling silk and glistening with diamonde, there walked ina pretty lass who sells taffy in & candy-shop, clad in book-muslin, and wear- ing afifty cent breast-pin. Are we not a ‘‘free and equal’ people? In the large entrance hall, an array of at- tentive attendants were in readiness to take charge of the over-coats and hats of the gentle- men. Further on, at the right of the vesti- bale. the private dining-room was used as a ladies’ saloon, where the flowers of loveliness emerged from their wrappers, and came out ip full-blown beauty. After the usual glances in the mirrors, to see that the toilette was per- feet, the expansion of skirts crashed in in the carriages, and the pushing in of refractory hair-pins, the ladies were ready to make their appearance. En avant! Entering the ‘‘crimson parlor,”’? the guests passed into the oval blue-room, where the Pres- ident and his lady receive their guests. Uniting a winning cordiality of manner to a soldier- like bearing—the dignity of age to the fire of youth—be wins all hearts not steeped in party malice, or branded with the stamp of an all engrossing idea, Some Johnny Verdants ev- idently think, as they enter, thatitisan awful thing to be presented to the Chief Magistrate, andl give their name to District Marshal Hoover as though they were to be hung, drawn and quartered by that most gentlemanly of officials. But the President, with a cordial shake of the hand, puts them at ease in a moment, and chats with each new-comer until another claims his attention. Mrs, Pierce, further in the centre of the saloon, is equally pleasing in her reception of the ladies as they are intro- duced. On move the crowd, through the “ green drawing-room’’ into the famed ‘ east room.” This is one of the finest apartments in the wopld, and never does it appear to such ad- vantage, as when filled with the intellect and the wealth, the beauty and the chivalry, of the Union. Last evening, as was remarked by all accustomed to the scene, there was not only a very geveral, but a very creditable at- tendance. The room was full, yet there was no jam—and there wasno one present who did not appear @ representative of the American people, as left by Andrew Jackson, ‘ prosper- ous and happy.”” Hundreds, of either sex, were grouped in the centre of the room, or congregated around the sides—enshrining a maelstrom of bright humanity, which circled around and around, ever varying, ever chang- ing, like the figuresin a kaleidescope. Mean- while the full Marine band, in an adjacent vestibule, performed choice operatic airs. The “* anvil chorus’? and the “ miserere,”’ were no better executed at the opera on Wednesday night, and Seala is evidently as well ac- quainted with ‘Ii Trovatore” as Maretzek. Towering above the assembled wisdom, was the Secretary of the Treasury, an impersona- tion of incorruptible Democracy, while the Seoretary of War, keen as a Damascus blade, was ever surrounded by his host of admirers. With these Cabinet officers, there was every grade of subordinates, in every department, from the Auditorial watch-dogs who watch the Treasusy, down to the lowest clerks, who lead a chrystalis life in dismal offices by day, but burst forth at the levees in the full glories of patent-leather pegged bootees, and well- cleaned kid gloves. Prominent statesmen, too, were there. Mr. Crittenden, with his fascinating lady—Mr. Seward, who is a most attentive gallant—the Republican candidate for the Speaker’s chair, who is ever devoted to the fair sex—and, strange to say, even the Senator from New Hampshire, who has so recently and so bitter- ly abused the President, was now among his visitors. But, place aux dames’! There was the queen-like Mrs. B*******, whose Juno-like charms appeared to great advantage in a rich brocade, while a brilliant cluster of diamonds in her hair was rivalled by the brightness of her eyes. Mrs. N#*#*##*, ing slmple white dregs, was ever attended by admirers of her beanty and talents. Mrs. O***, in pink satin; Mrs. A*#**#**, in black velyet; Mrs. W*****, a true New England matron; and thea Mrs. J****, who reigns here like her who was the “‘sovereign of the sovereigns of Atti- ca,” the administration Guelphs and the oppc- sition Ghibbelines competing for her favors Why will she remain neutral on the Speaker- ship? Mais, les Demoiselles? Ab, it must have been @ bad heart which did not pay homage to that galaxy of loveliness. Every style of beauty, every style of dress was represented, and there was a capital exhibition of coquetry and fascination. Who was the belle, par ex- eellence? Some admired Miss R¥##*##, whose profile is as perfect as her flounced tvi- lette was in good taste, while others preferred the queen-like charms of Miss Ce REE, and a third set raved about the petite and grace- ful Kentuckian, Miss T**®*. Wo, moro Ma- hometan in our admiration, thought them be- witching, and made up our mind that we could be happy with either, wore “tother sweet charmers away.” We were somewhat charmed, withal, by a bevy of unsophisticated young misses, with flowing ringlets and grace- ful waists, guiltless of artificial aids, and free from the tricks of older stagers. And there was one young sy!ph like creature, monopo- lised by a gallant Surgeon, who was the sub- ject of many enquiries; but we, alas, could only admire in ignorance. Is she maid, wife, or widow? And is she not from Connecticut? But we are exceeding our limits, and must give a hurried glance at the gallant officers, in uniform—the careworn expectants of House appointments—the contented contractors—the persevering petitioners—the ingenious paten- tees—the gifted artists—the inquisitive cor. respondents—the delegations with petitions— and the “‘rest of mankind,’’ who were present, It was praiseworthy scene, worthy of the Place, and of the Chief Magistrate who so courteously received his fellow-citizens.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union publishes the late speech of Mr. Caruthers justifying his action with the Dem- erats in the current controversy in the House hall; and republishes its original compli- ments to Mr. Fuller on account of his late dee- Jaration that he is in favor of admitting Kan- sas into the Union with aveholding State constitution if its inhabitants so elect, to prove that there is neither justice nor fairness in the efforts of the Southern Americans to twist out of its article on Mr. F., an endorse- ment of the soundness of that gentleman's previous course on the slavery question. The Intelligencer in publishing, to-day, the annual report of the Postmaster General, says with great force and justice : “ As the ramifications of the Post Office are co-extensiy® with the Union, penetrating the remotest nook and section of it, so there is no other department of the Government whose opezations come home to the business, and the hesoms, too, of so large anumber of the people of all stations in life as this A consequence 4s, that on the least hitch or defect of move- nent in the working of its complex machinery somebody will be put out by it, and complaint be sure to fellow. Looking at the vast sphere and intricacy of its operations, and the multi- tude of agents of this —— we have generally felt more disposed to wonder at the regularity of its general punctuality than at at occasional aberrations. We have, perhaps, been predisposed to pay less regard to com- plaints of irregularity, from which no admin- istration of the department has been free, from having closer opportunity, in general, of observing the diligence and labor which have always, with very few exceptions, been cm- ployed in giving regularity and efficiency to the action of its multifarious parts) No branch of the Government has had at its head abler men than have at times been found at that of the Post Office Department, and none have had the advantage of abler or mcre laborious sur- bordinates. The present head of the depart- ment is anxious, we doubt not, and strives with the zeal which has distingutsned most of his predecessors, to give the highest efficiency to bis important braneh of the public service, and we are sure that noone of his predeces- sors bas bad the aid of assistants more intel- ligent, honest, or devoted to their duties than the present.’” oe The Texas Debt Bill. It seems that, in the face of the contrary Prognostications of the writers for the press interested in the final settlement of the Texas debt, the Texan Legislature is about co put its veto on the triumph of their hopes. The Aus- tin Gazette, of the 22d ult., says: “‘The debate on the Texas debt bill was brought to aeclose on Wednesday last, in the House of Representatives, when the vote upon the engrossment of the bill was taken, and yesulted—ayes 40, noes 46. Mr. West, of ‘Travis, a friend of the bill, voted ‘no’ for the purpose of moving a reconsideration. Mr. ‘Tarver immediately moved a reconsideration, declaring, at the same time, his intention to ote against the reconsideration. The friends of the bill, by moving a call of the House, & ; prevented the vote being taken upon the mo- tion on Wednesday. “On Thursday, upon motion of Mr. Tarver, the motion to reconsider the vote was post- —— until the 15th of February next. The ‘ate of the measure is still uncertain.” PERSONAL. +++-John B, Gough is lecturing in Cincin- nati. +++ Bishop Pierce, of Georgia, was in Mo- bile on Chistmas day. +++» Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania, with his wife, is at St. John’s, Florida. --+-Gottschalk will give a complimentary concert, on Saturday evening next, at Phila- delphia. ‘ .--+ Albert Carrier, Esq , of Newburyport, (who was in this city yesterday,) has gener- ously given the ladies of that city the use of a three story house on High street, for the use vf old ladies receiving their charity. ++++Judge Rice, of Cooper county, one of the first sectiers of “Boonslick,’’ died in Boon- ville, on Wednesday last, at the age of seventy years.

Audubon is on a visit to Rich- mond, Va., having with him specimens of the great works of his father, J. J Audubon, the celebrated ornithologist, on the birds and qua- dru of America. They ate ificent five hundred tiful the question of the day—that of who shall be the Speaker of the Thirty-fourth Congress The contest is really between the Republicans and the Democrats, though in obedience to. Mr. Zollicoffer’s resolution, Mr. Banks will probably evow himself to be an “American.” That is, to be in favor of the exclusion of Cath- olics, native @r foreign born, from office in this country, under the pretence that they owe an allegiance to the head of their church, incompatible with their oath of allegiance to the constitution of the United States, and of all foreign born citizens begause they were not born under the stars and stripes. But the as- sumption of any such position will not obtain for Mr. Banks a single additional vote while he is notoriously the candidate of the Gid- dings wing of the Opposition: Mr. Zollicoffer, wo presume, designed forcing Mr. B. to take that position in the belief that it would cause more or less of his present supporters to aban- don him. If so, he is mistaken; as, one and all, they have understood him as holding ultra nativiet and anti-Catholic opinions ever since he became a prominent candidate for the Speakership Having voted for him up to this time with that knewledge, they will not desert him on such account. The truth is, the Democrats have made up their minds tocompel the National Americans of the House, to choose. between electing the candidate they present, and Mr. Banks, whether that be done by a direct or an indi- rect vote. They believe that the fate of their cause in the next Presidental election in Mis- souri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Louisiana, depends materially on forcing the ‘‘South Americans’’ (as Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, has dubbed them,) to show their hands unequivo- cally and unmistakeably upon the question— shall the nominee of Mr. Giddings be the. Speaker of the Thirty Fourth Congress ?—and are satisfied, that, decide as those gentlemen will, their final votes will strengthen the democratic cause in the States we name above. The National Americans are doing their best to stave off the solution of the riddle of their political affinities, as involved in the purpose of the Democrats, asexplained above. When- ever they can be forced to choose between the horns of their delimma, we shall hayé a Speaker. Support and Perfect the Postal System. Awhole volume is contained in the closing sentence of the Postmaster General’s Report. He says: “ The establishment is one in which every citizen is most deeply interested, and all should aid in rendering it as perfect as possible. “Instead of denunciation, in the event of mistake, carelessness, or accident, as a general rule, certainly the wiser course would be to advise the Department of the wrong committed and leave it to apply the remedy.”’ This is admirable advice. Let us support and perfeet our postal system; not whena letter from any cause happeys to be delayed, rail against the Department, and declare it should give place to private expresses and all that sort of thing. What would private expresses do off the great routes? Would they carry to the lone and distant settler his letter, or go hundreds of miles through a wilderness, or even a sparsely settled country, to bring his answer’ Nonsense! - Nor would they, on the main lines, even, do the work half as well as it is now done; though, give them the monop- oly, and, rest assured, they would charge roundly ferevery letter entrusted to their care. The Why and the Wherefore.—The fol- lowing communication, we need hardly say, is from the pen of a roaring Democrat. Nev- ertheless it embraces points, some of which are as forcible as true; and as it sheds light on the condition of the current contest in the House hall, we publish it fur the benefit of our readers : ‘‘ The question that embarrasses the Repre- sentatives in Congress, in their long, pro- tracted effort to eflect an organization, is not fully understood by the people; otherwise it eannot be possible that the failure to accom- plish thie first indispensible preliminary would not be looked upon with so much calmness, if not sang froid. Disguise it xs we may under the claptrap cognomens of Black Republican- ism, Know Nothingism, Americanism, and Democracy, the real bona fide difficulty in the way is the question of slavery, which is now up for a decision by Congress. The Repre- sentatives are, in fact, divided into but two classes. Mr. Banks represents Abolitionism, being the candidate of the Northern Abolition party ; and the vote which he commands is, In fact, the test of the absolute strength of the Abolition party in the House. Those who divide into Americans and Democrats consti- tute the Anti-Abolition party; and as they have an undoubted pay ate of the whole House, it is jn their power to effect an organi- zation at anymoment. The Democracy have at forward @ candidate for Speaker who is nown to be sound to the core on the question of slavery; and if the American party are also sound upon it, as they profess to be, there is no reason why they should not unite with the Democracy and elect the Democratic nominee. Their refusal to coalesce justly and naturally engenders suspicion in the sincerity of their professions ; and unless they remove them, the country should hold them respon- sible for their contumacy, and brand them with their scorn for thus indirectly giving aid and comfort to the sectional faction whose ttiumph now will be equivalent to the destrac- tion of the Confederacy. It is high time that our public men should be made to show their Rana upon this grave and threatening issue, and it is a subject for gratulation to the patriot that it has been precipitated ujon us at this period of our history. If the non- slaveholding States intend to set the Constitu- tion at defiance by denying to the slayehold- ing States the rights guaranteed to them under it, it is but fair and right that this fact should be made known to them without delay. Year after year we have been dallying-with this question, and year after year we shall be losing strength and position if we persist in this childish sort of pastime.”’ The Current Operations of the Treasury De- partment —On yesterday, llth of January, there wore of Treasury Warrants entered on tho books of the Department— For the redemption of stocks... bet 53 For the Treasury Department...» 12,806 66 r the Interior Department... 16,678 19 Forthe Customs....+-...se0cccce isaie 20 War Warrants received and en- COTed .ccccscrsseecececccsevecs From miscellaneous sources, From Customs.... . 47,244 06 On account of the Navy......ss6 51,165 00 CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS, ~ In the House, yesterday, after we went to press, Mr. Zollicoffer delivered a speech, in which he held it to be improper for the can- didates for the Speakership to decline answer- ing questions as to their views of the great issues of the day.
