BEOCEPTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE. tor an opportunity to clasp the hand of the President, who seems to have risen consider- | ably in the popular estimation, judging from the magnitude of last evening's assemblage, and the cheerful endurance of each individual in his or her determination to xchange saln- tations with him. The East Room, where the And the more sober garb of the eivi lian, formed % brilliant tableau indeed. Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Stover were dressed with elegant refine- ment and good taste as usual. The President appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. A large proportion of the distinguished residents and visitors in the city ‘Was present last night. Members of the Cabi- net, Foreign Ministers, Judges of the Supreme Court, Senators, Representatives, officers and heads of Departments. Among those of note Wwe observed Secretary Stanton. and Mrs. Stanton, Secretary Welles, Secretary McCul- loch, Secretary Harlan, Postmaster General Dennison, Gov. Cox of Ohio, Assistant Secre- tary of War Eckert. Surgeon General Barnes, Quartermaster General Meigs, John G. Saxe, the poet, Senor Don Mateas Romero, Senators Morgan, Harris, Johnson, and others, Major Gen. Brice, Treasurer Spinner, Mr. Edgar Welles, and Colonel Ely Parker. REDEMPTION OF NATIONAL CURRENCY. The Comptroller of the Currency has pub- lished a circular ietter, dated February 15, 1566, in which he explains that the rigid regulations which are made to apply to the redemption of mutilated Treasury notes is not to be under- stood as applying to the redemption of muti- lated bank notes. The redemption of such notes for the value of their face is left to the discre- tion of the bank officers. All mutilated notes should be fully redeemed by the banks when it dors not appear that frand was intended. The full face vitiue will be allowed for all muti- lated notes returned to the Comptroller's office, When such valne was allowed by the bank which redeemed them. ae eigeaneetee iis INVESTMENT FOR MRS. LINCOLN. At the request of Mrs. Lincoln. the United States Treasurer has invested the $22,000 ap- Propriated by Congress, bemg the salary of our lan Presidnt, in tive twenty Govern- ment sec! Fixe Ag t Hudson Taylor's, a picture by Bherstadt, is attracting considerable auen- tion. it isa representation of a scene in the Picturesque valley of the Yo Semite. It is less Open to the charge of conventionalism and of sacrificing truthfulness to scenic eifect than others of Bierstadt’ Rocky Mountain pictures. The local scenery. the trees lopped, pruned and twisted by the high winds of that region; the rocky formation: the debris at their feet; the water and its rapids (the latter ex- ceedingly well rendered) are portrayed with evident faithfulness. it is a picture worthy of minute inspection. GoLtp MINING Ixy Montcomery County, Mp.—The gold-bearing quartz in the vicinity of Great Falls of the Potomac, about fourteen miles from this city, is beginning to attract considerable attention; and one company sunk @ shaft some months since. at a locality about two miles this side of the Falls, near the line of the Washington Aquednct, where the sur- face indications promised a good yield of the reciousmetal. Thisstock company, of which r. Griffiths (formerly of the Quartermaster General's office, but now a resident of Phiia- delpbia) is president, seems to have entered on the work in earnest, judging from the extensive yecpenstions now making. A large quantity ot heavy machinery for crushing, washing. and sublimating the quertz bas arrived in this city from Philadelphia by railroad, and is now being bavled to the mine. Gold has been dis- covered op the farms of Mr. Griffith, Richard Jackson, Gustayus White. and others, ali within 4 mile or two of the Falls, on tae Mary- land side. Property in the vicinity is rapidly changing hands at advanced prices, and p:.rties are now prospecting on the Virginia side of the river; but we have heard of no discoverivs south of the Potomac so far. It is erged with some show of reason that the strata from which the gold is obtained is 2 continuation of the like formation in Virginia and North Caro- lina, which has proved so remuneratiye in those States. ——$— > Grover’s THEATER.—Henry Dunbar, or the Ontcasts, Tom. Taylor’s dramatization, was presenied to s large and select audience last night, and achieved a success second to none Ofshe present season. It is a work of intense interest, and presents most of the leading tal- ent of the fine company in its cast. It will be layed again to-night, with Mrs. Jordan. Miss ard, Mr. Lawler. Mr. Lamb, Mr. Spack- man, and Mr. Sinclair in the principal charac- ters. 87 From J.

Exceutive and judicial officers of the State and Federal Governments, postmasters, pilots, members of Congress, mariners, tele- graphic operators and mail agents are exempt. A Militia Bureau is to be established in the ‘War Department, and an adjutant general for each State is to be appointed by the Govern- ment to review the militia on stated occasions. Section ten says that there shall be organized in all of the States one reviment of active vol- unteer militia for each Congressional district. All officers of this active force are to be ap- inted by the Gevernors of the States and Territories, but the War Department are to furnish ail arms, equipments, &c., to said mil- itia foree. The President can order all or any = into service at any time. The Lieutenant neral, in order tosecure uniformity in the militia, may cause inspections to be made from time to time.

SENATE.—Mr. son introdneed a bill to incorporate the Phat ceutical Association of the Dist f which was referred * District of Colum bia. dthe memorial of the jast the passage of the nds: also @ concurrent asking for the speedy e ag bill to sell the public resolution of that boay trial of Jeff. Davis. The annual report of the Commissioners of Patents was laid before the Senate Mr. Conness presented the memorial of the California Legislature asking for certain amendments to the Pacific railroad bill Mr. Conness called up the bill to grant lands to aid in the construction of a railroad from Humbolt Bay to San Francisco Bay in Cali- fornia, which was passed. Mr. Brown called up a bill to grant lands to aid .n the construction of a railroad through Missouri and Arkansas to the Pacific coast, and grants every alternate section of public land along the route to the company. Pending the consideration of the above the morning hour expired. At one o'clock the concurrent resolution that no Senator or Representative from a lately re- Vellious State, shall be received until Congress shal] have decided such State entitled to rep- resentation was taken up. Mr. Nye took the floor arguing against slay- ery as the cause of an aristocracy that had pro- duced the rebellion. He held ‘that while we might not demand indemnity for the past it were the duty of the loyal people to see that they had security for the future. Hovsr.—Mr. Rogers rose to a personal ex- planation. He said he had been reported as endorsing the speech of Secretary Seward. He did not endorse him, but endorsed Mr Ray- mond, of New York. He had not torgot the unckling of Mr. Seward’s little bell, and he wouid be alarmed to go home if had said that he endorsed that gentleman’s speech. Mr. Stevens asked, but failed to obtain leave to have read a dispatch from the Union mem- bers of the Pennsylvania Legislature, en- dorsing the action of the majority of Congress. The House resumed the consideration of the Constitutional Amendment—that the Congress shall have power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper to secure to the citizens of the several States, and to all per- sons in the several States equal protection in the right of life, liberty, and property. Mr. Davis, ot New York, opposed the amendment, as it proposed to do by Congress whathad never been done in any State, and affecting the rights and property of many who had been loyal outside of the rebellion. He counselled harmony and magnanimity, and denied that any of the States were ever outof the Union. Mr. Stevens cansed to be read a telegram from Harrisburg, dated February 2th, saying afull caucus ofthe Union members of both branches of the Legislature last nignt unani- mously passed a resolution sustaining Con- gress. Signed R. W. Schenck Mr. Woodbridge addressed the House in favor ot the pending amendment; as it would have a_ tendeney to keep the States within their orbit and strengthen Republican liberty. Mr. Bingham answered objections to the amendment, contending that it simply armed Congress with the power, with the consent of the people, to entorce the bill of rights, as it stands in the Constitution. The amendment Was to thatextent and no more. Alter debate, the House, on motion of Mr. Conkding, postponed the further consideration of the amendment until the second Tuesday in April—yeas 133, nays 36. he House proceeded to the consideration of the deficiency appropriation bill.

The secretary submitted & report concerning the iron interests im the United States, which is a very elaborate decuinent. The report states that the correspondence from 300 persons in the trade sets forth the difficulties ander which they are laboring, and goes to show that if manufactured iron is offered below the pres- ent rates the mills must cease work or lower the wages, and that the disaster overhanging the trade can — be averted by increasing the duty on iron. he total amount of pig-iron produced in 1565 in the United States is 910,555 tons. The products of the rolling mills in the same year, $3,049 tons—being a decrease of 19,329—253,017 tons, of ich were rails rolled mills, having double that capacity. The amount of steel of all kinds was 15,562 tons. The amount of revenue paid on iron and steel Was $9,218,508.02.

What the associnvion needed was a protective tariff, say $15 or $20 per ton. As it is now, about one- fifth of the market is supplied by our greatest enemy—England. His country needed a com- pany to develop its iron interests. The association adjourned to 7% o'clock this evening, when addresses are expected from several members of Congress. © gst Shetiee<-asaese CRIMINAL Cournt, Judge Fisher.—Y esterday, Charles Wallis, convicted of the larceny of a watch, wis sentenced to Albany for I year.
