It is evident there has been a change in the administration of affairs in the clouds above, and the good old clerk of the weather, who for three winters presided with so much genial warmth, and sent such sunshine into our homes, has been removed, and a cold, unsympathetic old fellow put in his place. It is a malicious clerk too. Witness how he spoiled our New Year's day receptions; and his spite continues, for yesterday was the first reception day of the ladies of the Cabinet, and lowering clouds and « misty drizzle continued all the afternoon. We wish there was a commune to cut short his ‘ain. These who were brave enough to despise and defy the elements were rewarded by finding hat they were evidently expected. and that hospitable provision had been made to make them forget and leave behind all that was disa- erecable. The dark day necessitated the light- ng of the gas, which, ot course, added bril- lianey to the receptions. The ladies receiving seemed yery grateful for the attention shown by their guests. —The honse of the new Attorney General promises to be a favorite rendezvous for the season. Mrs. Williams’ manners are so pleas- ant and cordial that every one soon feels at ease, and can look around and admire the taste of the tair hostess in the arrangement and far- nishing of her house. Mrs. Williams possesses great personal beauty, and looked extremely well yesterday in a dress of blue an1 white striped silk. It was elegantly made, with rujtes of same, bound with biue silk, and trimmed across the front breadth. Miss Ramsey daughter of the Senator trom Minnesota, re- ceived with Mrs. Williams: She is a tall, finely ‘ormed girl, with a beautiful face, and dresses with exquisite taste. She wore a biue silk, with veautiful lace, anid etruscan gold jewelry. This is only Miss Ramsey’s second season in society. There was a table with refreshments in the ex- tensive parlors,over which many were tempted to linger longer than the time usually allotted to calls, where so many were to be made. — The house of the Postmaster General was, as usual, most gracefully presided over by Mrs. Creswell and her sister, Miss McIntyre. The first object thag attracts attention upon entering her beautiful saloon is the bright, cheerful fire in a low grate. This cheers the drooping spirit» of the moist individuals, fresh from the damp- ness outside, and when the delicate, refined looking lady takes your hand, and in a sweet voice bids you weleome, you feel that it is good to be there. Soon you are drawn to the ball- room by sweet strains of music, and find a few taking just one turn. Every onesayssomething kind and pleasant, and you feel that the dear old days have returned, and that the reunions are as charming as ever. — Mrs. Colfax was alone in receiving, but she is now so well acquainted in Washington that she does not need any one to relieve her of the embarrassment of mecting strangers. Mrs Mathews is much better, and was well enough last evening to come down trom her room and dine with the family. — Mrs. and Miss Boutwell received a great many calls. — The parlors at the house of the Seeretary‘of he Interior were also crowded at times during the afternoon. i — Mrs. Freeman Clark, the Misses Clark, and Miss Hitzel, likewise received numerons cails. — At the house of the Secretary of War, Mrs. Sower, Miss Belknap, and Miss Worthington received. The popula well as that of the ladies of his household, was manitested by the great number of calls that were made. It gives pleasure tothe Secretary's ds that he again has a home circle. — One of the topics oi conversation yesterday sas, that ere long there may be the opportunity af attending once more the brilliant reception: { Mrs. Fish. The § etary hastwo houses in One of them is the house of Mr. Hoop- or, corner of 15th and H sts. Mrs. Fish will re- ‘urn frem New York as soon as a house is seeur- d. Young Mrs. Hamilton Fish was among those making calls. —Invitations have been sent here from Mil- waukie for the marriage of Miss Mary Whiting to Mr. Francis K. Adams. The ceremony is to take place at St. Paul's Church, Milwaukie, January 13, at 11 o'clock a. m. The bride will have a reception the day she is married, at the house of her sister, Mrs. John M. Miller. There salso a card of Mr. and Mrs. Miller for ree tions on January 24th and 3ist. No doubt this will be a brilliant affair, and the numerous ‘riends of Miss Whiting wish her much happi- ess. —Mrs. . Southworth, the novelist, will receive her friends at her residence, Pros- pect Cottage, Georgetown, every Monday even- ing at from 8 to 10 o'clock, instead of om Friday venings as heretofore. — The Catholic Chureh Suit in Peunsyl vania. ANSWER TO THE INJUNCTION. The Stack-O"Hara case came up beiore the court in Willia: Pa., yesterday on a rule erved on the Bi to ‘show cause why he should not revoke his letter dismissing Father Stack from the pastoral charge of the Church of the Annunciation. There was no extended argument inthe case, aud the Bishop did not appear in person, ‘The points stated in the answer of the Bishop were that he denied the jurisdiction of the court to require the defend: ant to answer; that the court bavi d liseolve the junction, and havin orosecute the same without delay. The affidavit ot Father Stack sets forth that since the order or he court granting the Injunction the Bishop nad violated. the decree of the court ‘by Intra, lucing Father Garvey as priest of the Annunci- ‘tion; that these violations were under the instruction of the Bishop, and that the bishop persists in interfering with said Stack, notwithstanding the order of the court, and by using a division and discassion in he church; that certain persons, with intent to evade the injunction, have clandestinely entered the church and removed the locks and fasten- ings, substituting others, thus interfering with said Stack; that he is unable to obtain access to said church, and cannot hold servi to supreme court is prosec it lay they ask no further order from the court; but if the bishop, y or indirectly, evader Dg Ge Fy their motion for a distinct m by the bishop of his letter Lvempeg Wh es Stack.
