L.iscoLn.—We mentioned. yesterday, tbe vit of Mr. Cass, Ex-Secretary of State, to Mr. Lincoln. They conversed some time on the present condition the country, and the veteran statesman, it is said. evinced great emo- tion as be addressed Mr. Lincoln in relation to the difficulties by which be was surrounded. Mr. Lincoln was much affected and expressed hitnself as fally appreciating his position. . AT THE CAPITOL. Yesterday, about three o’clock, Mr. Lincoln, ac- companied by Mr. Seward, visited the Capitol. Upon entering the Senate many of the Senators on both sides arose and shook hands with him, and after remaining in the chamber about twenty minutes he retired as he entered, accompanied by Mr. Seward. His unexpected appearance in the hall of the House of Representatives created no little sensation, =i eae pgs business ‘was suspended. Ha’ rece! col itu- lations of the Tepublican members, he to the southern side of the Hall, and was courte- ously greeted by the southern members with some exceptions. The President, after spending about ten minutes in the Hall, passed into the Post office of the House, where jeasant chet was held for a few minutes. Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward then entered their carriage and re- turned to Willards’. While at the Capitol, Mr. Lincoln paid his respects to the justices of the Supreme Court tn their consultatfon room. Mr. Lincoln’s face has not yet become familiar enough to et recognized here when he a tn publ, and ue pamed to and fom the et tol lay without catching the attention of muititude. THE LEVEE. Last night, between 8 and 10 o'clock, there was 2 noticeable swarming up the stairways, at Wil- lards’, leading to Mr. Lincoln’s apartments, ind!- cating that he and Mrs. Lincoln were “ recei: ing,” which proved to be the case. Gentlemen, unaccompanied by ladies, however, found con- siderable vrei i effecting an entrance to the presence, and bacbelordom was thus ata decided discount. The fine second-floor jenade es and halls of this hotel we found brilliant with ladies and their attendant cavaliers. Thread- ing @ devious way amongst the crinolinean diff- culties of the path, the parlor in which Mrs. Lin- coln was holding her reception, was attained. Her plessnt face won readily upon her visitors, as did the unaffected kindness and ease of her Banner. The verdict of the ladies, who, of course, critically scanned her, as is the wont of be Sex, was that ‘she will do” for the White ouse. ‘The path to Mr. Lincoln was rather more rug- fea for wfier his room was reached, lo! be was ked up inacorner, and so button-holed by successive squads of eager individuals—each of whom, by his earnest gesticulations, had some- thing of vital importance to communicate—that quiet folks who went there simply to pay tueir ——— to him as citizens. contented themselves with a bow, and a look at the coming man. The eye, in glancing around his apartment, could not fail to note the large pizno literally loaded down with the cards showered upon the President-clect by those who would button-hole him. In the courne of the evening, Hon. Jobn Bell, of Tennessee, by request of Mr. Lincoln, had an in- terview with bim, which was of some length. “* DIXIR” FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUNG LINCOLN. After dinner there was some turning of eyes in the direction of the smokin -ryom at Willards’, js being apie = Mr. Robert Lincoln was en- jo @ cigar there, i: company with some frlends A couple of *aell-known Larpints were performing there at ‘ne anme time, and a group of disunionists bad che bad taste to induce the harp- ists to pisy * wixie,”? the adopted national air of Secessia, fr the benefit of young Lincoln. The musicia“s, however, on ascertaining the purpose for Waich they were being used, made the thing even by performing ‘“ Hail Columbia,” with ali the extras. TO-DAY. This morning Mr. Lincoln was occupied with engagements with his friends, many of whom called from 9a.m.upto2p.m. At 10% o'clock Mr. Lincoln rode out, and was gone till 12m Among those who called vpon Mr. Lincoln to- Gov. Se Se Sumner, the New ind Indiana Congressional udge Harris. Vice President Ham- ind others. Gov. Hicks, of Maryland, also upon Mr. Lincoln, and held a protracted consultation with him. The only exception made to the rule probibit- ing the admission of strangers was the case of a number of Virginia gentlemen who called and Were at once admitted to an interview. They af- terwards expressed themselves very much pleased with the President-clect. Porter Detectives, &c.—The usual arrange- ments relative to the peace of the city upon the eve of all great national events, which cause an influx of ingers at the Metropolis, have been made. The city police bas been divided so as to assign a portion for service as detectives, who, for the lon, lay aside the uniform and appear in the guise of citizens. A number of detectives from the cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore have also been directed to cooperate with those of Washington. Notwithstanding the vigilance of these officers, there isa number of the light-fingered gentry in Washington, who arrived about the same time that the detectives from abroad came. These will be narrowly watched. In addition to these, the independent detective firms of the city, upon their own authority, are closely observing all that is passing, and it is quite probable that the thieves and pickpockets will not find it so easy to carry cat their pro- mine, which, from present indications, is very ilar to that they were so successful with on e occasion of the inauguration of Washington’s statue. Ma. Raney in Wasuincton.—On Wednesday evening Mr. John 8. Rarey, the famous tamer of horses, is to give the first of his extraordinary ex- hibitions before a Washington audience. He has erected for the occasion a mammoth building, on pee mtr mare merry Lacs pli be perfectly ada, to the purpose, and fi up with every regard to security and comfort. He lately delighted great crowds in the mugnificent new Opera House in Brooklyn—the ladies of that city forming a large proportion of his audience. In fact, the only difficulty experienced by Mr. Rarey in this country bxs been in obtaining houses of sufficient capacity to contain the people who have thronged to see him. although he occupied the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, and Nib- lo’s Garden in New York. In Lon ris, and all the European capitals, Mr. Rare’ urprising power over wild horses has becn exhibited before royal and noble audiences—queens, duchesses and countesses taking as much interest in it as the “lords of creation.” We hear that he has sccured some vicious horses, adwirably suited to test his power.

A Derense.—Editor Star: Under the head “ Humiliating” in your issue of the 22d instant, I observe an absolute misconception of of my address on the evening of the the Sinithsonian. Did I not fear that my Position in all political matters would be misunderstood, Ishould not now depart from my rule and intrude myself upon your columns. { am glad, however, that your local reporter has given me this oppor- tunity of defining my position asa physician in this community. J belong to no Political organi- zation. J eschew all politica; have never voted but once in the years that I have lt bere, and never intend to again except ina case of serious emergency. I desire no office, have never sought any, and never will seek any in the gift of any political patronage In showing the hieroglyph of an Ethiopian face from the tomb of Ramses P my sole object was to show how ineffaceable were the features of that race throngh 3.000 years. In showinga Dieroglyph from a Theban tomb of an Egyptian Scribe Tevie- tering his black slaves, my object was not to jus- tify slavery, with that 1 had nothing to do. but simply to point out the fact that through 3,000 ears the docile submissive inferiority of the race ad not changed In proving the natural law that dominant’ races destroy "wenker, my object was not to bolster up anv political creed, but simply to point out the all-powerfu’ ervading, unchangeable character of this natural law through many ages and over many races. In saying ‘We doctors are apt to think, I do not say we are right in thinking so,”” tha’ oral law—that the Celtic Gaul and the Celtic Irishman preferred the forms of a Catholic faith, whilst the Anglo- Saxon preferred the forms of a Protestant,—it was not my object nor my desire to condemn or praise either the Protestant or Catholic forms of faith, bot merely to prove that race characteristics might lead a people to prefer one form of faith to another In saying that if all Africa were chris- tianized to-morrow, a stern natural law would make a Christian Africa barbaric, my object was not to ridicule the mission work, with that I had nothing to do, but sireply to point out and prove an unchanging, all-pervading, all powerful natu- ral law of In proving that our disposition to do good or evil is somewhat modified by the physical condition of the body, whether of health or disease, my object was not to deny the great religious doctrine of free agenev, but simply to point out that there were natural laws influencing us even in religious matters. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let me say that in my rounds to the sick [ attend both the rich and. the poor, the bond and the free, the Catholic and the Protestant, the dersocrat and the repnblican. With all these I have warm and attached friends, in justice to them wi!l you permit me to insert the above correction of a mistake inte which your loc! reporter unwittingly fell on the evening of the 2ist inst.
