The President Elect reached this city at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, accompanted by his nieco, Miss Lane, and other members of his family, and, also, Gov. Porter, Wm. B Fondney, Eskridge Lane, (his nephew,) and Wm. Carpenter, Eeq, and, also, the Hon. John C. Breckinridge, the Vice-President elect, and wife. Information that this distin- guished party might be looked for in that train having been received by the U. S. Marshal of the District of Columbfa, rather than in the one to arrive two or three hours later, he was metat the Washington depot with aa open barouche and four, in which, unaccompanied, except by his immediate family, ho drove to his quarters at the National hotel. We pre- sume that this becoming and characteristic simplicity, and unostentatious entrance into Washington was planned by himself His guard of honor, the Lancaster Fencibies, and other friends who flocked round him, beoked for Washington, wo take it for granted were duly escorted from Baltimore to these diggins by the guards of honor that left Washington atanearly hour yesterday morning, especially to bear His Excellency company over the tedious route from Baltimero hero. F. F.C. Triplett, Esq. — This gentleman writes us the following lettor, which will be found of interest to all who have duly noted the details of the proceedings of the House in which he was involved : Wasatxeton, Marth 2. 1857. Sm: Iam not indifferent to the opinion of the meanest individual, much less to that of those compozing the — House, who, with edifying unanimity, have yoted themselves to be ‘\aé/ honorable men.’’ I therefore wish to convinces rome of them of the injustice done me by their vote on Saturday, expelling mo. a6 @ reporter, from the floor. In the first place, I w: ot a reporter at all. I had held such a position the isst session. which I did not exercise; but this seesion I neither ap- lied for nor received the place. But, grant Pasa been; what was my offence? There is no rule inhibiting a reporter from attending to bis own business before Congress It was not my complicity with the parties arraigned, fer noone has blamed me seriously for my forced compliance with the exactions univer- sally known to be made of all who seek the ro of bills invoiving a veluable consider- a% . Was it the exp: ion of my opinion that extensive corruption prevails in Congress? Then there is not an intelligent citizen in Washington who does not share my offence Of course, ro cne will understaod me as im- pugning the integrity of every member, or of ® majority of the members, but simply as asserting that the corruptionists had the da/- anes of power on closely contested cazes. As to the attacks made upon my testimony, it is dignifying them too much when I stoop toexpose them. More than a month elapsed after it was given, before the committee closed its sittings; yet not a man was found here, where I have lived so long, or elsewhere, who would, under oath, breathe a suspicion ageinst me. The rule of honesty as well asof law is, that while a witness stands unim- peached he shall be regarded as unimpeac able. No man is safe from reckless aspersions cast upon him by advocates laboring in a cause which cannot be defended by more legitimate means. ut even the basest man is not suspected of a crime to which no interest leads him. My interest was clearly o— making any reve- lation in the case. could expect no glory from it, and I knew it would deteet all chance of my success. I could be biased by no per- sonal feelings, for it is not pretended there was any unkinduees between those gentlemen and myself. In August, 13854, my book was de- feated in the House. It was defeated in the in March, 1855. Yetnoone has heard of my asper: Single member who voted againstit Is it credible I would commence the work of defamation by swearing falsely against those who, in their own defence, de- clared they were anxious to vote for it? One gentleman, indeed, urges against me that I voluntarily went before the committee a second time to attack Dr. Welch. That gen- tleman will surely pardon my ignorance for supposing that, if a witness should discover be had misstated or omitted any material fact, it was his duty to correct hiserror. But I do not in this dozerve his censure, ner the praise of those as badly instructed as myself My testimony was taken down in short hand ; to be sure that it was correctly done I thought proper to read it after it was reduced to wri- ting. I bad misapprekended # question, and Iso stated. In making the necessary correc- tion I was so unfortunate gs to incur the charge of malice on the cne hand, and on the other ct stating a vague impression not amounting to anything positive. If this be the way in which vindictive witnesses accom- plish their work I had mistaken the modus. Mr. Gilbert, in his sworn defenco, admitted the truth of every word { had uttered as of edge. It appears, therefore, in the conspiracy against himself. But whatevor else may be left in doubt, the result of this trial has ee that apy one un- fortunate enough to know of Congressional pny ane must go ‘ jail for contumacy, en- fAxon mi recordo {or ga) i ebsracier for the truth Ay; Sc eaer:ie Very respectfully, &e., ¥. F.C. Taipzerr. P. S.—Sinee writing the above I have seen the proceedings I complain of. The assertion of my violating wy word as a reporter is en- tirely untrue I sgreed to press no claims for others; this was neither a claim for my- self, nor for any one else. There is a law for- bidding M C.’s and all Government employes from attending to claims: yet the members voted for their increased compensation, and clerks are annually electioneering for ad- ditional pay. As your printer waits for this copy I cannot further pursue the subject Disappointed. —Ourfellow-citizens appoiat ed by the City Councils, the Jackson Associa- tion and the District Mllitary authorities to reosive the President elect, met with a great disappointment yesterday. The two former journeyed all the way to Baltimore to do the thing in first rate style. That is, to escort him thence into Washington. He, however, man- aged bis matters so as to pass through Balti- more “‘on the wing,’ as it were, a few hours earlier than xpected. But three of the members Councils’ committee and two of the Association, managed to obtain an inkling of be unexpected celority cf the movemente, and thus to enjoy the honor of a ride home on the train bearing him. We can weil imagine the “‘phelinks”’ of the pest on learning when they repaired to the depot shortly before5 p m, that the game had flown southward just two hours before ! The City Authorities and President Pierce. In compliance with the resplution of the mu- nicipal authorities of this city, the Mayor, accompanied by the Board of Aldermen, the Common Couucil, and # large concourse of Citizens, waited upon the President at 12 o’clock. The Mayor addressed him in an ap- propriate speech, to which the President re- plied with the most felicitous remarks such an ccoasion ever called forth. His manner confirmed the purport of his words, and his vcice attested the sincerity of the emotion with which he took official leave of authorities and citisens by whom he has been so much beloved, honored and respected, and who:e in- terests he has done so much to promote. No retiring President ever elicited more re- .gret from the community of Washington ; no one of his predecessors has been easier of ac- cess, more kind in courtesy, more attentive to the bereaved and suffering among us, more devoted to all the interests of the city. The deep feeling, so evident and general, with which his parting words were listened to, re- flected most faithfully the emotions of regret which agitated the hearts of his audience, whose best wishes for his health and happi- ness will follow his footsteps whitherscever they tend. \ When the President entered th» Bast room, where the visitors and audience assembled, the Mayor of the city addressed him as follows : Mr, President: I have tbe honor of intro- ducing to you the Boards of Aldermen and Common Council, and other members of our city government, together with many of my fellow-citizens who have no official connection with me. We come toacknowledge our grate- ful appreciation of the official kindness you have evinced towards our city in the many Tecommendations you have made to the Na- tional Legislature in our behalf—recommen- dations which sg show that you recognize, to a just extent, the obligation of the nation to foster the capital by aiding its people to make it what its founders designed it to be,— a great and a beautiful metropolis, worthy of & great and a powerful nation. And, sir, we have not only to express our high sense of our obligations to you officially, but wo have also to acknowledge the kindness which has marked yoursocial intercourse with us and our constituents, and to assuro you that the community with whom you have sejourn- ed for the last four years, feel that in your de- parture they will rather Yoso one of their own most cherished citizens, than one who has had only official residence amongst thom. We need not then say that we grieve at the sa aa ration, and that our farewell is not only fall of offictal respect but also of personal esteem aud affection, and we sincerely hope that in your retirement you may enjoy the harvest of peaceful happiness, which must proceed from the consciousness of a faithful discharge of your public duties. In reply, the President spoke substantially as follows : Mr Mayor: I receive with unaffected gratification this demonstration of sentiments of good will toward myself on the part of the city authorities and people of Washington. About one-half of the years of my manhovd have been passed here and the expericnce of each year has only served to enhance my ap- preciation of the admirable qualities which characterise the permanent population of the District. No man can notice the quiet of a Sabbath in this city, and the evidences on all hands of its sacred observance, without being impressed by the conviction that he is among a people remarkable for their intelligence, anaes probity, and high moral worth. Here I have shared largely in a generous hospital- ity, have made many valued acquaintances, and formed friendships which I trust may be as lasting as my life. Under the circumstances it would be strange indeed if I could regard with anything but lively interest whatever is calculated to pro- mote your happiness, and advance yeur eub- stantial prosperity. Here among your resident citisens, every section of our common country is represented; and they are fortunately ha- bitually free from the influences of discord or alienation. Here, the love of this blessed Union and the op of toleration, which ever animated the founder of the city, and the Father of his Country have never grown cold As the seat of Government and centre of the Federal political power, you will al- ways enjoy great and pau advantages Added to these, a genial, salubrious climate, and scenery of rare beauty, must make the District of Columbia, at nv distant day, the seat of # great city, pre-eminently distin- guished for arts, taste, science, aud refine- ment. I enjoy in anticipation the career which I eee before you There are certain great improvements, the completion of which I earnestly desired to witness during my official term. I trust they are delayed—not abandoned. Shoulda wise Providence pormit me to visit you here- after, I hope to find gushing fountains from the Great Falls of the Potomac, everywhere in your city springing up and sparkling in the sunlight, and representing, in their native pu- rity and abundance, your moral health ard social prosperity. I desire to express, for Mrs Pierce and my- self, the assurance of our regret at parting with friends who have established claims for our grateful remembrance, which we shall never Ozage to remember. The Throng.—Gracious goodness! how the good folks are pouring into Washington just now. At this rate, Dan Rice will have to let out accommodations for sleepers in the stalls of his four ‘comic mules,” as well as on the benches of the capacious amphitheatre, as advertised. There were at least eight hun- dred guests cn the books of Willards’ last night and nearly as many at Browns’. Of course many of them are billetted without the portals of these establishments The Wil- lards’ dined quite seven hundred yosterday without the slightest rush, crash, or inconve- nience to anyone. The way in which their several dinnors were served made it apparent that they can comfortably accommodate per- haps twice as many on such ar occasion. Tho Kirkwood, too, is overflowing after a similar fashion. Yet everything goes on there like clock work as usual; their dinners being as recherche as though the Mouse contained only the usual number of guests. The Texans and President Pierce —The 24 of March being the anniversary of tho Do- claration of the Independence of Texas, the citisens of that State who happened to be in Washington, some thirty or forty in number, assembled at Kirkwood's Hotel, and proceeded ina body to the Executive mansion, where they were most cordially received by the President. In behalf of the Texans, Maj. W. R. Sourry made a brief but felicitous address, one, indeed, characterized by eloquence which electrified all present, adverting to and oom- mending the principles upon which General Pierce went into power, and the measures and principles which he had sustained in their vindication. The address of Msj Scurry was touching and truly eloquent, and the Presi- dent replied with evident emotion, reciproca ting the sentiments of kindness, ana avowing his continued devotion to the principles which had governed his administration, and so ly commended by the people of Texas. The interview is described as one of unusual inter- est and mutually pleasing to the President and his visitors. The Great Ball on the night of the fourth, will evidently be attended by perhsps three or four times as many persons as ever before Harlan, Houston, Hunter, Mason iy of N. J , Trumbull, Mr. Toombs offered an amendment by ad- ding the House joint resolution in relation to the pay of Gen. Scott, which was not disposed of when the Sonate tock a recess. ; a re-assembled, most of their night’s was devoted to the considera- tion of amendments proposed to the naval ap- ropriation bill; the amendment to nie it by Mr. Toombs, as explai: above, ig, ahaa been agreed to— yeas 27, nays 22. In tHE Hovsz, the bill to deposite the sur- plus in the treasury of the United States with (distribute it among) the several States was assed — yeas 119, nays 79 : Me Howard reported from the Conference Committee on the Indian Appropriation bill ; a Smarts Mr. Komnett, the rules were suspended for the consideration of the bill ap- propriating for the removal of the obstructi: Nourse, fe- attended the usual inauguration festival. As Wade, Wil- B1e magnificent preparations made are for perE hops ten times as many, all who attend may rely upon comfort. The supper table extends the whole length of the building, and is so ar- ranged as that the guests will be amply sut- plied with all they can desire without the possibility of greasing or otherwise soiling = coat or dress. There will bein attendance at least five hundred fresh, rosy and artless country lasses, coming by rail and steamer from within a circle of 100 miles of Washing- ton, who will reach here in the course of the day of the 4th. A sight of their lustrous eyes and joyous countenances alone, will be worth the price of the ticket—$10, tothe man of true taste. The Hostilities in Oregon and Washing- ton Territories, &c.—The following interes‘- ing letter, from a distinguished Army officer, has just reached us: Benicia Barracks, Ca., Feb. 4, 1857. Editor of Star: Please publish the en- closed, as it may serve to put matters right as to the absolute necessity of fighting or feed. tng the Indians of Washington and Oregon Territories they are rend: desperate; and the United States interests there are too para- mount to neglect them. Intense cold and deep snows prevail-in Ore- gon and northern California; earthquakes and murders in southern California. In the latter region but little rain, less thar usual. Cattle will perish in numbers this summer. The Mexicans and discontented natives are taking to the road in organised bands, and, being more numerous than cll other people, are making the country very unsafe. Arms and $5,000 have been sent to Los Angeles by the Legislature, and the Un.ted States troops are in the field after the robber bands Large emigrations of miners and land hun- ters are crossing the Colorado for the Gadsden purchase, and some of the parties are ooca- ated murdered by the Mexicans and Apa- ches. Thank you for trying to help us oflcars. 2 ona the Mississippi river by contract; which was a Mr. Campbell of Ohio, reported in favor of DOn-concurrence in the of the Confer- ence Committee on the Deficiency bill. Mr. Letcher asked a separate vote on the Senate’s amendment to the said bill striking out the appropriation of $182,000 for books for members. and inserting in lieu therefor one of $50,000 to iftdemnify the clerk for what he had already paid out on that account un the resolution of the first session of this Con- 2s; Senate amendment not agreed to—yeas 0, nays 93. Another conference committee on the same bill was then voted. A number of bills were then taken up and spe of until they took a recess. m reassembling, the re: from the Con- ference Committee on ‘ariff bill was made by Mr Campbell, of Ohio; and after debate, in which Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, advocated it, and Messrs. Campbell of Penn., Purviance, Robinson, and Toad, opposed it, it was agreed to—yeas 124, nays 71. A resolution granting extra compensation to the clerks and other employees of t the House was then passed. Proceedings of Te-Day. In toe Senate, to-day, Mr. Geyer pre. sented the credentials of Trusten Polk as 8 Senator elect from Missouri. They passed the Naval and Fortification bills and bills for the construction of peniten- tiaries in Nebraska and Kansas Territories ere the Star went to press. In tax Hovss, the following bills, &o. were considered and passed, viz : Bills to settle certain accounts between the United States, the State of Mississippi and other States; For tho relief of John Reilly ; To amend the tariff act of 1856 ; To amend the act granting public lands to the State of Alabama in aid of the constrac- tion of certain railroads ; The Post Office appropriation bill, az amend- ed in both houses. . Ere the Star went to press, several ineffeot- ual efforts for the passage of other bills were made. ces ATIONAL INAUGURATION BALL, March 4th, 1857 —The Mana- ers announce to the public,that, with a view to tne comfortable sccommoda the ball, to afford ample space for dancing, and to avold the inconveniences of a too crowded rete they have adopted the following regula- jons : The number of admission tickets to be sold shall not exceed fifteea hundred.

The Walla train lost 27 animals on thoir = to supply troops of Col. Steptoe’s command. The Democratic Standard, of January Ist, says: We have loarned, from private advices, that the Indian Agency for Washington Ter: ritory have received peremptory orders from tae Indian Department at Washington City to cease, forthwith, feeding the Indians on the Reserves. If this be true in the case of the Indians of Washington, we presume it is, or will be, also true in the case of the Oregon indians If these orders are obeyed now, while some seven or eight thousand Indians are hemmed in on Reserves, without winter supplies, and with several feet of snow upon the ground, starvation must follow, and the indian war re-opened with terrible conse- quences. The Reception.—At eight last night, the President elect received oalls at his quarters at the National, and an immense crowd took occasion to shake him by the hand With the exception of the public men who called on him, his visitors were those prompted by curiosity or solicitude. On such an occasion— suffering as he must be from the fatigue of his journey to-day all the way from Lancaster, few others would trespass upon him ; the pub- lic men only going to his apartments because thoy had legitimate business with him. The Students.—Among the 20,000 strangers who are now here, are at least one hundred students of the six hundred and fifty now at- tending the Virginia University at Charlottes- ville. A finer body of youth ia rarely, in- deed, to be seen, than this same one hundred students of the Virginia University. Missourians.—There are a large number of stalwart Missourians now here. Among these gentlemen are Governor Trusten Polk, who is to take his seat as an United States Senator after the 4th inst., and Major Craige, Democratic member elect to the next United States House of Representatives.
