GovERNOR CooKe’s. Our gubernatorial mausion in Georgetown was yesterday the scene of most brilliant and gen- — hospital ty.

Gaughter, Cooke, one of those rare, beantif: the fresh anc varying bloom of youth in her chee! grace of loveliness in all and the sunlight and er ways. Mrs. ke Wore an emerald velvet of artistic beauty, chef @euvre of the celebrated Maison Fauv. of Paris, ornamented with superb point alen_ con. Miss Cooke wore blue faille, e SAME AS st Mrs. Grant’s reception earlier in the day. The table was a labrynth of beautiful designs in flowers and confectionery. Amongst others we noticed a group of angels ieadios out the old year and ushering in the new 1573. Also, the old Holland device of a stork’s nest, which is believed there to bring good luck to the house whereon it is built, and many other unique — vices, beautiful in design and execution, be- sides edibles to tempt the eye and feast the ap- petite, and drink cheer but not inebriate.” THE CADETSHIP QuESsTION.—As heretofore stated, Congress will be called upon to amend the law regulating the appointment of cadets at the Naval Academy and at West Point, as the new apportiontment increases the of members, each of whom is entitled to ot one Lyd ateach place. The law, however, pro- vides that there shall not be more than one boy from each district at each place, but under the Rew apportionment counties in various states have been changed trom one district to another, a a if every new member makes an appoint- ment after March 4th, there will in many in- stances be two boys from one district, one appointed under the old and the other under the ne ipportionment. By the act ef July 16th, PD to establish and equalize the grades of line cfficers of the navy, it is provided that the number of midshipmen allowed at tne Naval Academy “shall be one for every member and delegate in the House of Representatives, on# for the District of Golambia, ‘and ten at large.” At that time the District ot Columbia had no delegate in the House, now it is represented there, and as the act provides that there shall be @ midshipman fer every del » it is said by some that General Chipman has the right to make an appointment exclusive of the one selected from the District by the President. ‘The appropriation committee oe the House now bas the matter under consideration, and must either increase the number of cadets or mske tome change in she manner of appointing them.

Madame Lobo, wore a skirt of brown silk trim- med with ruffies of the same, an overdress of leather-colored silk trimmed with brown. bonnet corresponded. Mrs. Chandler's was a rich golden green or bronze silk, elaborately made and trimmed. There were several other Indies whose dregees were worthy of description, it owing to the imperfect glimpses members of the press were allowed to catch of the bril- liant cortege, it is impossible to do justice to them. There is danger, indeed, of dressigg some es, while strangers reap ladies in borrowed p the benefit of their own magniticent toilets. —General Mott, now visiting his brother-in- law, Blacque Bey, in this city, (the first Mad- ame Biacque was a sister of the general,) is a son of the late Dr. Mott, so celebrated in New York asa physician. Gen. Mott, after serving in the United State army during tire rebellion, went to Egypt, and has rendered such valiant service to the Khedive and also to the Sultan of Turkey that he has received the highest deco- rations in the power of these sovereigns to bestow. He is commander-in-chief of the ar- mies of Egypt. He wore his magniticent uni- form and all bis orders yesterday at the White Mott assisted her friend, Mrs. McAllister, on New York avenue, in receiving yesterday. —One ot the happiest thoughts connected with New Year day was that conceived and carried out by Mrs. William Stickney, 601 M street. Upon the piano near the middle of her spacious parlor was placed a large silver salver literally filled with exquisite little button hole bouquets; and, whether her many guests ac- cepted the bounties of the dining room or not, each was made the recipient of one of these beautiful little souvenirs, the value of which waserhanced by being placed in position by the fair hands of one of Mrs. Stickney’s young assistants. The idea was as gracefal in concep- tion as it was charming in execution, perfume of the louttonaire served all di mind callers of a most deligdtrul episode in the round of pleasure. —At3o’clock to-day Madame Schiebel was married at the Austrian legation, to Mr. Nav- United States consul at House reception.
