Society im Washington, SPEAKER Biarne’s REcEPTION.—The spa- us parlors of Speaker Blaine were crowded ain last evening, it being the regular weekly reception ofthe Speaker and his accomplished lady. Among the guests were many prominent statesmep and high officials. The toilettes of the ladics were very rich, making it one of the most brilliant and elegant receptions of the season. rs. Blaine greeted their visitors in al cordial manner, extending to all a arty welcome. By ten o’clock there was an immense crowd present, showing how very pop- ular the Speaker's receptions are becoming. The ek it suite of parlors, so well adapted for ak » company, presented an attractive ap- pearance.

Mrs. Blaine was attired in a rich black gros grain silk, trimmed with quillings of the same material; white lace shawl; emerald and dia- mond jewelry. Mrs. Secretary Cox wore pearl moire antique, with white lace trimmings, and pearl jewelry. ‘The Misses Gerolt wore ashes ot roses silk, with point iace trimmings. » Mrs, Ames wore black velvet, with lace and satin trimmings; stone cameo and pearl jewelry. Miss Minnie Sherman wore a pale green silk, with white lace over-dress; hair plain; etruscan jeweiry. Mrs. Demas Barnes wore black velvet, tritn- med with satin pipings; white point lace shawl; jewelry of emeralds and diamonds. Many of the other dresses were equally rich and tasteful, but the crowd was so great as to afford little opportunity for their proper display. Secrerany Fisn’s Recertion.—The recep- tion ‘of Secretary and Mrs. Fish last evening, brought out on unnsually large and brilliant as- semblage of representative people. Owing to the fact that only a limited number of cards are issued for each occasion, the throng here was not so great as at Speaker Blaine’s, but the spa- us apartments were nevertheless well filled ‘til nearly midnight, and the display of elegant and attractive toilettes was remarkably large. Among the more prominent personages pres- ent were Secretary and Mrs. Cox, Attorney General Hoar, the Postmaster General and Mrs. Creswell, Judge and Mrs. Swayne and danghter, Mrs. Fremont, Mrs. Sprague, Gen’! Sherman and daughter, Lieut. General Sher- idan, Colonels Forsythe and Dayton, Admirals Bailey and Dahlgren, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Astor Bristed, Mr. S. B.

SiLvzr Wepprng.—Hon.D.J.Morrell of Penn- sylvania, and wife, celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of their wedding last evening by entertaining a large number of friends at their residence on H street. Among guests present were Senators Morrill of Maine, Morrill of Ver- mont, and Scott of Pennsylvania; the entire Pennsylvania delegation in the House; the members of the committee on Manutactures, of which Mr. Morrell, is chairman; also, the mem- bers of the committee on the Union Pacitic Rail- road, and the special committee on the Decline of American Shipping, together with several friends from a distance, temporarily sojourning inthe city. The table spread for the occasion presented a most luxurious and tempting appear- anee, and the evening throughout was thor- oughly pleasant and enjoyable to all present. — Mrs. Senator Sprague entertained a distin- guished company of sixteen at dinner yester- day at her elegant residence on E street. In the absence of Mr. Sprague, Chief Justice Chase did the honors as host at the entertain- ment, which was pronounced most sumptuous and recherche, in every respect. To Remain HEREe.—Gen. N. Michler, Acting Commissioner of Public Buildings, and Gen. J. L. Casey, of the Engineer Department, U. S. A., were not included in the recent order relieving army officers from duty in this city, and trans- ferring them to other points. —_—_—_—_see-+.

TATE, the late Haytien minister under the Salnave government, called upon President Grant yesterday to say farewell before leaving for Europe, where his children are now residing. He informed the President that he would shortly return from Europe and settle in this country as acitizen of the United States. The President expressed his kindest wishes for the ex-minister, and congratulated him on his intention to be- come an American citizen. ARMY OFFICERS OnpERED.—Major T. H. Stanton, United States Army, has been ordered to duty as chief paymaster of the Department of Virginia, Major Israel 0. Dewey and Major Brantz have been ordered to report, by letter, for orders until further instructions. Lieuten- ant Colonel Z. B. Towers and Colonel H. G. ‘Wright, of the engineer corps, have been ordered to New Orleans, upon duty connected with the defenses of the city. Tue Gronota Questiox.—The Senate Ju- diciary Committee this morning had the Georgia case under consideration, and Mr. Gibson, at- tornty for Gov. Bullock, read a lengthy argu- ment in his behalf. It was contended that Hill could not be elected U.S. Senator now by the purified legislature, and therefore his election by the old legislature was illegal. A number of Georgians now in this city were before the committee to answer questions in reference to affairs in that State. Miss ALIDE Torr’s concert at Lincoln Hall on Monday evening next, seats for which can now be secured at Metzerott’s music store, is all the talk in musical circles here. Miss Topp has won greater laurels than any pianist who has visited this country in many years, except, perhaps, Leopold de Meyer, and has won from the edueated and retined, marks offappreciation which few have obtained. Miss Topp will be assisted by Mr. Levy, Mr. Randolfi and Miss Beebe in a well-selected programme, so that the concert will not only be attractive but varied. APPLICATIONS FOR LEAVES OF ANSENCE.— ‘The Secretary of War, m General Orders No. 19, just issued from the Headquarters of the Army, directs that the attention of the army be called to paragraph 178, regulations ot 1543. Officers must not apply to him for leaves of ab- manner than is prescribed by regulations and military usage. All such applications must be in writing, addressed to the Adjutant General of the Army, and transmitted through and by the intermediate commanding officers, with their remarks indorsed thereon. Applications made in any other mode will not be entertained, but will be construed as a breach of discipline. Cononess Has THE PowER—Among the committees appointed by Hon. Geo. P. Fisher, chajrman of the Citizens’ Committce on the pro- posed reorganization of the government of the District, was a “Committee to prepare a plan of Government,” consisting of twenty-five, who met at the office of A. G. Riddle, Esq., on Wed- nesday, the 9th instant, and after discussion, appointed Messrs. J.J. Coombs, N. P. Chipman, Walter 8. Cox, A-G. Riddle, and Wm. H. Philip @ sub-committee, to whom was referred the question as to “the power of Congress to grant @ municipal legislature to the District of Co- lumbia for local purposes.” At an adjourned meeting of the committee of twenty-tive held this afternoon at half-past three o’clock, the sub-committee reported unanimously their opin- fon that Congress under the Constitution may rightfully exercise such power. ‘The THeaTERs.—There was a very attractive performance at Wall’s Opera House last even- ing of three entertaining pieces, in which Miss Keene, and Messrs. Mordaunt, Jack, Wallis, Hawks, and Otis all appeared to good advantage, and the programme is repeated this evening, embracing “Dreams of Delusion,” a very inter- esting drama; the “Actress by Daylight,” and “Matrimony.” On next Monday evening Miss Keene will bring out with the full strength of her company Boucicault’s drama of “Hunted Down,” which, in our opinion, is the best and most effective of his plays. It ought to fill the house every evening of its representation. Mr. Davenport will close his engagement at the National Theater this evening, with “Mac- beth,” one of his finest impersonations, and on Monday evening Maggie Mitchell, popular Mag- gie, will appear in “The Pearl of Savoy.” THE RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES of the ‘Tne Mormon Trovsies.—A dispatch from Salt Lake city yesterday says: “A mass meeting was called evening to ratify-the nomina- tions of the ticket in 0) ition to the Orthodox municipal election m eket.

Mr. Butler (Mass.) did not see why this House should attempt te regulate the amount of print- ing a head of Department might want.

In their proper sphere the Departments had a duty to perform, and he did not question that they did it well, But he also had a duty to perform, and he would not be diverted from it by any lectures on the subject.
