Wild rumors bave been in circulation on te st eets here for a day or two as to the con- centration of troops in Washington, and ex- aggerated reports of the extent and signifi- cance of the military movements have pre- vailed. As a consequence, conflicting tele- grams have been sent from thie eity, some of them printed in our telegraphic columns to- day. Our reporters sent out to ascertain the facts in the matter, furnish the flow ies par taculars, which may be relied on as sub: tially correct: THE ARRIVALS LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING. Four batteries of artillery, numbering about 250 men, arrived at the Washington arsenal last evening at 6 o'clock on the steamer Lady of the Lake,and three more batteries, ee about 140 men, arrived at the Baltimore and Potomac railroad depot about half-past six o'clock. this morning. ‘hey, too, are stationed at the arsenal. This irakes almost 400 soldiers already stationed here; and it is rumored at the arsenal that five more batteries will be ordered here shortly, but nothing ts Known as to the tim: they will arrive or from whence they will come. It is expected, however, that Light Battery A, of the 2d artillery, from Fort Me- Henry, and the troops now stationed at Fort Foote will be ordered here. The rumor that at least 2.000 troops will shortly be stationed at the arsenal is incorrect, for the greatest nomber that can be accommodated there is 1.000. THE TROOPS FROM THE So nllowing are the batteries tha 1g: Battery I of th er commitnding; bat battery C of th hh, Major Re 1 A of the 3d, Col.

The soldiers at there was nothing for them there to ugh their presence undoubtedly he violence that was cropping out all side They started on Friday last for Fortress Monroe, but upon arriving at Portsmouth they received telegraphie orders, much to their surprise, to proceed direct to Washington. Upon leaving the train at Portsmouth they were marched to the wharf, where they embarked on the Lady of the Lake for the national capital. THE TROOPS FROM THE WEST. The troops that arrived this morning are Battery E, numbering 40 men, and D, 52, of the od artillery, from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, the former under command of Col. Wildricks and the latter under Major Turn- all; also, Battery C, of 2d artillery, from Fort Riley, Kansas, numbering 40 men, under command of Captain Wm. P. Graves. ' These troops have been stationed in the west for some months, but left Junctio i City on Thurs- day last under orders for New York. On ar- 1 Harrisburg, however, they received proceed direct to Washington. The which the troops are assignel are and the quarters formerly d by the d hment stationed at the store-house conta the ‘All the arms that were kept moved, and workmen were aturday and Sunday in put- ting up stoves and making long tables and benches. The troops bunk in the second story, using for a bedstead what is known as the “beds” of the arm rac The officers and men know nothing of the cause of their being stationed here, but suppose it is the same that sent them to South Carolina—to preserve peace and order, should any disturbance arise previous to or on the fifth of March. SECRETARY CAMERON AND GEN. SHERMAN both say this afternoon that there is no sig- nificance whatever attached to the stationing of troops in this city. Upon being asked about the report that the government had re- evived secret information warranting such a concentration of troops, General Sherman would make no reply. Society Matters. The question is often asked, ++ Will the com- ing season be a gay one?” and a reply to it is as puzzling as to the universal query, “Who wil be the next President?” It does not seem probable that the Cabinet will do much en- tertaining. Ifany of its members do enter ta’n it will probably be the two who alone d’d+o last winter, Messrs. Fish and Chand- lr, the two who can best afford to be lavish in their expenditures, and whose houses are best suited for purposes of hospitality. The others who keep house are Secretary of War Cameron and Secretary of the Navy Robe ‘on, and neither of these have houses large enough to accommodate the crowds inseper able from evening receptions by the Cabinet It is most probable that the ladies of the Cab- inet families will receive as usual on Wed- nesday afternoons (mornings in soclety par- lance) after January 1. It is not at ali prob- able that aay ee most informal recep- tions will be held prior to that time by these ladies. Mrs. Fisn is always at home to her friends on Wednesday when in Washington, but receives in no more formal manner than does sy lady in private life whose friends are priv! heged to make soctal calls open her. Representative Willis, of New York, in- tends spend ing the winter at the Riggs House, he was in the city yestenlay to make arrange- ments for his family and himself. There is a rumor that the President and Mrs. Grant will give a private ball in Jan- uary in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Sartorix. This reminds ie to inquire on what grounds cor- respondents, in giving deserved praise to Mrs. Hayes as Mrs. Grant’s probable successor, have thought proper toreflect apon the latter by saying that the former would not inthe White House set an example of extrav: nee to the wives of her husband's counsellors. The facts do not sustain this insinuation, for Mrs. Grant is neither extravagant in her style of a nor have she and her husband been disposed todisplay in their entertainments. They have given the dinners and had the re- ceptions which long-established custom de- ——= them, and nodoubt would have n glad to have been excused from some of the latter at least, which, by the way, are not expensive, there being norel ments served at them, also in accordance with long-estab- lished custom. It istrue the President always Wears his right-hand glove to rags in hand- shaking on a«levee” night, but t's not a considerable item. Of expensive entertain- ments, the President and Mrs. Grant have given enough not to be accused of parsimony, but too few to be charged with extravagant expenditure. Mrs. Grant dresses tastefully and never ey. She buys good materiais and never h@fitaies to wear the same toilets two successive seasons or have them re- modelled when their style becomes obsolete. So much having been said and printed in Tegard to the extravagance of women in Washington, and wives having been so often held responsible for the ruin of their hus- bands, it is plessant to record an instance on the other side. Ex-Governor Shepherd, in the midst of his financial embarrassments, is to be congratulated that he has a wife Whose inclinations, as well as her religious principles, lead her to prefer a domestic life any other.

The gentlemen in New Orleans, at the re- — of the President, and also those sen there by republican organizations from states other than Louisiana,have determined they say, to secure a full stenographic repor of all the proceedings and evidence before th returning board, so that an im| it state ment may be given to the public and sent. to the President. They have also determined to change their committee of five from time to time, so that all their members may observe the mode of proceedings, and the appearance and character of the witnesses examined. THE TOTAL VOTE OF LOUISIANA, made up from duplicate poll-lists, received from forty-seven partshes and ten rishes estimated by the democrats from registration this year and the vote of 1874 is as follows: For governor, Nichols, 84.202; Packard, 76,112. The increased vote this over the vote of 1874 ix 12,519. Nichols’ majority of the votes polled over Packard is 8,00. Of the Tilden electors five have a majority over the highest vote for the republicans of 9,249. The other two Til- den electors have a majority of 7,036. The discrepancy in the majorities is caused by the omission of the names of five of the Hayes electors from the republican ticket In several parishes. FLORIDA. The following seems to be the situation: Eack party claims the state on the Presiden- Ual ticket. It is pretty well conceded that the democrats carry their state ticket. There is reasonable ground for believing that Gov- ernor Stearns will assume that the state board has no power to canvass the electoral vote, but that that power resides in the g ernor. This assumption will permit the gov ernor to decide all issues pertaining to the canvass,and issue his certificate to which- ever ret of electors he decides are elected. ‘This assumption is based upon the fact that the 1 ct creating the returning board does not use the word “electors” in giving the list of officers whose vote the rd shall canvass. The power not being specifically conferred be the board, he contends the power re- sides in him, as he is required by a United States law to issue the electors’ certificates. and must canvass the vote in order that he may decide who are entitled to certificates. The democrats are very much astonished that this claim should be set up, and contend that the word “electors” is not used in the act referred to simply ‘ause electors are in- cluded under the head of state officers. which expression is used ia theact. Thedemocratic committee waited on the Governor and noti- fied him that if he contemplated such a step they would ask permission to file a protest. He stated that they should have an opportu. nity to do this, and informed them by a letter that he should be pleased if they would for- ward in writing whatever they had to say upon the subject. This is considered an inti- mation that he intends to move in the matter without delay. Se pears being prepared on both sides of this question. AVERY AND MCKEE.—Wm.

Mr. Pinchback requests me to state that if the present returning board is recognized as a legal body by the Senate of the United States, he will immediately again present his application far admission to that body, not as before, as a prima facie case, but as a case resting on its merits. Senators Ed- munds, Christiancy, and other republican Senators voted against Pinchback’s admis- sion because they held that the legisatare which elected him not a legal body, bat, as Pinchback says, the returning board was chosen by the senate of the same legislature which elected him, and if it was competent to elect the other it was competent to elect him.
