BEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GBAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE BECEPTION LAST NIGHT. The jam atthe White House reception last night was not so intense as at the last prece- ding one two weeks ago, but it wasall the more enjoyable on that account. Between nine and ten o'clock, when the tide was at its fallest, @nce of the stardy bone and sinew of the coun- . try, who seem to recognize in the President of the people—sprang from among themsel ves— their true representative. The number of sol- diers who called to pay their respects to the President was unprecedentedly large. Many of them, crippled in the service of their coun- | try, hobbled through the presentation room on | their crutehes, or with “eloquent empty sleeves,” and these invariably received the Kindest attention at the hands of the President | and of his kind-hearted daughters, Mrs. Pat- terson and Mrs. Stover. The presentations to the President (who came down about nine o'clock) were made by handsome Marshal | Gooding and his urbane aid, Deputy Marshal | Phillips. The presente tions to Mrs. Patterson | and Mrs. Stover were made by B. B. French, | Jr. in the absence of his father, Commissioner } French. Colonel Morrow, of the President's | household, was also present, aiding to do the courteous to the guests.e i Passing through the oval room, it was not easy to keep the record of the notables. Among those present were Secretary Welles and Mrs. Welles; Secretary Dennison and lady; Secre- tary Harlan and lady; Senator Sherman and bis charming niece, Miss Mary Sherman; Sen- | ator Anthony; Senator Wilson; Hon. James Brooks, of the House, (and of the New York Szpress,) escorting Mrs. Anna S. Stephens, the anthoress; John Pierpont, the poet; Mr. E. G- Squiers, (of Central America renown,) with his beautiful wife; Frank Leslie, of illustrated publication fame; Commissioner Newten, of the Agricultural Department, introducing a delegation of leading Quakers of the country; M. E. Kingman, ex-/on of journalistic days of yore; the gallant General Castar, of cavalry fame, (in plain citizen's clothes, and with his flowing yellow curis much reduced in yolume;) Major General J. B. Wilson, (who captured Jeff. Davis in petticoats;) Governor Patton and Jady, of Alabama; General Banks (much complimented everywhere on his speeeh ot yesterday) and Mrs. Banks; the brave General Heintzelman, with two stylish-looking ladies: Senator Lane, of Kansas, and lady; Hon. Mr Maynard, of Tennessee: Mexican Minister Romero, Prot. Davies, (known, like Joho Pierpout, to nine-tenths of the youth of the country through his school text books.) Senator Doolittle: Chas. Eames, Esq.; Mr. Sturz, the renowned German political economist; Hon. Lewis Clephane and Mrs. Cle. phanc; Provost Marshal General Fry, Major Genera! Shriver, Hon. Horatio King, Major General Rucker, Colonel H. L. Robinson and daughters; T. B. Brown, Esq.; Ex-Marshal Hoover. escorting the beautiful Mrs. Wooley, of New York; Gereral Burnett, of Ohio; Gen- eral Gartield; Hon. Lewis Campbell, of Ohio, and lady; H. Bridge, Esq., of the Navy Depart- ment; Hon. Mr. Blow, of Missouri; and a large representation of both Houses of Congress. The Marine Band, headed by Prof. Scala, ‘Was present in full force, and as usual wasa great source of attraction to the throngs prome- nading the suite of rooms. It is probable that the White House evening Teceptuuons will close shortly and this fact will doubtless cause the attendance hereafter to be unprecedently large. OQAR«AeTIVe escvrawrony. Lieut. Gen. Grant, on the recommendation of the Surgeon General, yesterday issued the follewing order:—The department command. ers ot Virginie, North Caroligp, South Carolina Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou- isiana and Texas are instructed to cause: Ist All vessels arriving st ports within their de- partments from ports infeeted with cholera, but having had no case during their passage, tobe quarantined for fifteen days, and thor- oughly fumigated. 2d. Allsuch yessels which have bad cholera on board during the passage to be quarantined for fifteen days after the ter- mination of the Iast case, and thoroughly fa- migated. In carrying out this quarantine de- partment commanders will consult and ask Assistance from officers of the navy ia their Vicinity, and correspond direct with the Sec- retary of the Navy in reference to such assist- ance and co-operation. pe see OFFICE OF THE CUSTOMS. Secretary McCulloch received a telegram yesterday from the Minister of Finance of the Canadian Government, requesting permission to station customs officers at the different rail- way stations on our northern frontier to ex- amine baggage going from the United States into Canada. The Secretary telegraphed to the collectors of customs along the Canada frontier to allow the same to be done, as we haye simi- iar privileges in Canada. —_——_____. ARTILLERY SCHOOL. It is said that the permanent Artillery Board, Organized in General Orders No. 6, which is to convene April 2, will have under consideration 2 plan for establishing a United States school Zor artillery at Fortress Monroe, Virginia. eR Taz Orera—Flotow's romantic opera, “Stradella,” was given last night to a good audience. It is of less merit than any other of this composer’s works, and with the exception of one or two (not by any means original) strains, is “Martha” repeated with a different text. Poetical Himmer gives the character of “Stradella” most gracefuliy, and the «Ave Maria” and “Salvator Rosa” romanza, were Most beautifully rendered. Madame Johann- Sen appeared to great advantage in “Leonora,” and paying more attention to correctness of costume and character than usual, not being painted, and wearing a tastefal and appropri- Bte dress, looked charming. As an artist she is unsurpassed by any in this country at the Ppresenttime. The brigand duet, «Sas, sas, sas, as," which we consider one of the ugliest and Most unpleasant passages in the opera, wa’ sung with spirit by Habelman and Steinecke, and was warmly applauded and encored. The bell im the Campanella scene was not at all appropriate for the purpose, and the triangle mnan must have been absent. The orchestra and chorus were very good from overture to | finale. Mr. Neuendorf, the conductor, with the exception of his chasing the quicker tempos too much, (like most young leaders.) is really excellent, and worthy to succeed the veteran Anschutz. The Kermess scene (2d act) of “Faust,” was ®iven with spirit, and Hermanns, as “Me- phistophiles,” won his usual plaudits in the Gold Song. “William Teil,” Rossini’s chef @aurre, with the first appearance here of Wilhelm Formes, is on the programme to-night. and a crowded Bouse may be expected Tux ApMission oF CoLonapo.—The morn- ing papers in this city err in stating that the bill for the admission of Colorado was en- tossed and ordered to a third reading in the Benate yesterday afternoon. by a vote of 21 to 14.

The assistant commissioner of freedmen’s affairs in the State of Georgia gives the bureau an account of his visit to the Sea Islands. He states that all the questions in dispute bes ween the ireed people on the islands and the former white residents are now amicably settled. Those having graits of land have had them consolidated on one part of the estate upon which they were given, as directed in “Spe. cial Field Order No.3.” In addition to these satisfactory results, a saying of from 6,000 to (00 rations per month to the Government has n effected. The assistant commissioner fears that owing to the want of implements, seeds, animals and food the freedmen having grants of land will failin raising a fair crop. There are scarcely ten families of freed people on the Sea Islands whose grants of land are of any value whatever. Land is abundant enough, but labor is segrce, and commands a very high price; and h@ thinks the freedmea would find it much more to their advantage to go to work for wages than to attempt to enl- tivate land for themselves with imadequate means. He is fully convinced, from_ personal examination, that the question over which there has been so much dispute as to whether or not the freedmen shali retain their lands for a few years has ceased, from the cheapness of iamd and the scarcity of labor, to be of the slightest consequence to them.’ He says that real want in that State is a sufficient mil- to insure the prompt arrest of crim- dsuch an organization of the United tes courts as shall enable the people, white black, to stand on an equality before the law and te obtain justice. LEGISLATION FOR MAINE LUMBERMEN. As the Reciprocity Treaty will be terminated ow the 17th, the Maine Lumbermen, who fioat their logs down the river St. John’s, under the Treaty of Washington, would then have had to pay import duties upon their lumber, had not Congress passed the following bill, to which the Senate agreed this morning : Be it enacted by the Senate anl House of Repre- sentatives of the United States of America in Con- gress assembled, That the produce of the forests of the State of Maine upon the Saint John Tiver and its tributaries, owned by American citizens, and sawed or hewed in the Province ot New Brunswick by American citizens, (the same b ing manufactured in whole or in part,) which is now admitted into the ports of the S at:s free of duty, shall continue to be so admitted under such regulations as the Sec- retary of the Treasury shall from time to time prs ribe. Soc. 2. And be it further enac'ed, That this act shall take effect from and after the seventeenth day of Marcb, eighteen hundred and sixty-six THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. The Republicans have carried New Hamp- shire by a reduced majority. Last year they carried the State by a majority of 6,071 in a total vote of 62,219, and secured a majority in the Legislature of 106 on joint ballot. The re- turns thus far show @ Democratic net gain of 60, and but for the fact that the Republican State Convention was shrewd enough te en- dorse the President and ayoid making an is- sue against his policy, it 1s quite evident that the State would have gone against them. The Chronicle must be hard on’t for crumbs of com- fort when it attempts to figure out an Admin- istration defeat in the New Hampshire elec- tion. ——_ WHITE HOUSE, The assemblage of visitors at the White House iv-day was guitelarge. A delegation from Georgetown, consisting of the Mayor, Henry Addison; the Recorder, Chas, M. Math- ews: and the President of the Common Uoun- cil, Esau Pickerell; waited upon the President this afternoon. Mayor Addison addressed the President in a brief speech on presenting the resolutions adopted by the Boards of Aldermen and Common Council of Georgetown, endors- ing the policy of the President in the recon- struction of the National Government, to which he replied by thanking the delegation forsuch evidence of the approval of his course by the citizens of Georgetown. PROVISIONAL GOVERNORS. President Johnson's message, giving iafor- mation to Congress concerning provisional governors, &c , bas been promptly put into type at the Government Printing Office, and makes a volume of two hundred and sixty pages, much of whichis in small type. It embodies a mass of valuable information concerning the Southern States, and justifying President Johnson's adherence to Mr. Lincoln's policy. While Congress has ordered some thirty thou- sand or more of the reports of the Joint Com- mittee on Reconstruction, with the yolumin- ous evidence, not a single additional copy of this Executive testimony has been printed. pa ce ar enna, QUAKERS LEAVING NORTH CAROLINA. An Inspector of*the Bureau of Retageos, Freedmen, &c., reports that the boat from Aquia Creek, Va., brought to the city this morning seventy-five persons of the Society of Friends, from Raudolph coanty, N.C. who are on their way to settle in the State of In- diana. The cause of their emigration, they state to be the persistent persecution of them by the people of North Carolina. The (jua- kers also state that one hundred and fifty more ‘will leave in a few days. PARDONS GRANTED.
