Tt is understood that Mr. Smyth, Collector of the Port Of New York, has seat on his resignation. Another Cal- fector will be appointed as s00a as arrangements for e can be made. Representations of the Presideat’s Pesltion. ‘Sundry statements have recently found their way into print porporting to be reports of interviews by variour individuals with the President on political topics. It ‘must be evident to every intelligent person that so soon after the issuance of his annual Meseage to Congress the President would not seek to send to the country contra- ictory sentiments through the medium of individuals; ut there is authority for saying that the Interview as reported between him and Representative Eggleston, as (rrell as the other with a Mr, Wetherby, of South Carolina, are both fictitious representations of the President's po- ‘ition, and calculated to misrepresent him with the peo- plo. Both of these interviews wero brief, and the conver- gation occurring was of tho most ordinary commonplace character. In neither Instance did the President express ‘any other sentiments on political subjects than those he has steadily maintained, nor in either did he make any expression intended or that could be construed to be & smessag® te any States or communities. ( The Reconstruction Questi Boon after the assembling of Congress a vigorous effort will be made to commit the two Houses in secur- Ing tho admission of any single Southern State, or any umber of thom which shalt accept the constitational amendment, Some of the Representatives of the South assert that this proposition as a finality has never been made by Congress, and there is a growing desire that it shall be mado as early after the recess as possible. Quite @ number of republican members stand piedged to vote for such a bill, Advices received last evening from a number of prom- inent politicians at the South are entirely unanimous in ‘the assertion that it is the fixed determination of the fouthern States to continue in their present passive polttical condition, rejecting not only the constitutional ‘amendment of the last session of Congress, but algo ail other amendments that would deprive them of or deny thom their just rights as members of the Union. Finaucinl Measures The Committee of Ways and Means ay, and has held its sessions almost datly, but they huve Deen ongaged mainly in discussing proposed amendments fo the Interna Revenue laws. [t is understood that they ‘have held. ae consultations on ihe subject of the Gold pill during the recess, and as the Secretary and the pub- Neo are both ealisfed that gold is selling now lower than the public interests require, they will probably recom- mend that the Secretary be required in future to give Previous notice of his sales. The Tariff. The account given in tho New York Triltne of the roport and bill on the subject of the tariff, we are authorized to state, is entirely incorrect and without foundation. Mr. Wells, when before the committee with Dia bill and report, was alone, and the bil! has not been eccessible to any one and will not be until after the reassombling of Congress. The committee were in con- sultation with the Comm!ssoner yesterday and to-day, ‘and will probably be nearly every day during the balance of the recess. The Masonic The Masonic fair now being held here is proving quite fa success to the projectors thereof, This evening Presi- Gent Johnson and his son, Colonel Robert Johnson, and Lodge of Knights Templar wore present at the fair. ‘The President did not intend to address the aasemblave nor to appear in any public manner whatsoever. He was thore simply as a private visitor, and was introduced to the managers of the Fair by Commissioner B. B. French, chief of the Masonic Order in tho District, and after re- ceiving a number of ladies and gentiemen retired with- out any special remarks, The Committee of Arrangemonts of the Masonic Fair have made Preparations for holding @ bail on New Year's eve in the building tm which the Fair $ ss boid ‘the bu'lding will bo newly decorated for the occasion, and a dancing floor will be laid. This ball is fooked forward to with anticipations of great pleasure by the lovers of dancing in tho city. It is expected that tands enough will be received during the fair to erect « pubstantiat butlding in the city devoted to Masonic pur- (peses. 4 Kecevery of General Grant.

F, Butler arrived here yesterday on vuasi ness connected with the case of the steamor Grey Jacket, which comes up in the Supreme Court on the 3d of January. Tho Grey Jacket, a vessel built and owned Timothy Meaher, of Mobile, Ala., was captured United States vessel and condemned as prize ‘The claimant now prays for & reversal payment to him of the proceeds of the.sale. He claims to have remained loyal to the United States, and alleges that he was unable to Jeave the confederacy until the time of his captare. He states that he built the Grey Jacket and loaded her with cotton for the purpose of escaping with bis family to « loyal State, and when he got outside of the port of Mobile gave bimself up to a Uaited States vessel and demanded protection. He claims that his vessel cannot be Hbelled \ and condemned as a blockade runner, because, although she did run the blockade, {t was with no criminal Intent but merely for the purpose of placing himself and pro- perty under the protection of the United States. Apart Trom the amount of money involved, which is very jargo, the points of Iaw which will be decided are of the highest importance, and are looked forward to with great Interest by a large number of persons. { The Presidential Keception on New Year's. ‘There i# official authority for stating that at eleven o'clock A.

Despite the cold piorcing winds of last evening and she Gay reside festivities of tho season, @ brilliant audiense Spplauded the great actress on hor frat appearance ip uis country fn the character of Deborah. The spirit of » Mosonthal’s drama which is so well known in Ger- maby, and, through Mr. Daly’s version of it, in England and the United States, bas been skilfully preserved in the Italian translation by Signor Gactano Cerri. This has eon expressly adapted for Madame Ristor: and her dre- matic company under the management of Mr, Grau. Allthe spectators were familiar with the plot of the drama; but Bone could have fully anticipated the wealth of ite re- sources until it was doveloped by the genius of Ristori Under her magic touch it became @ new creation, instinct with life and passion. The finest pointa were sharpened to @ marvellous distinctness; familiar phrases acquired 0 fresh significance, and will linger in the memory as. Jong as the tones of the unrivalled voice whicl uttered them, an@an art above art gavegan air ef reality to scones illestrated by the silent but ne less thrill- Ing eloquence of attitude, gestures and ever varying expressions of countenance. Yn tho struggle of Deborah with an infurtmted crowd of peasants; in her sollioquy while awaiting her Christian lover; in her interview with him by moonlight; in the Serce contest between her affection for her father and bur devotion to Albert; in her readesvous o@ a stormy night at the hour amd place appointed by the iatter, snd in the unlooked-for scene with the father of Albert; abcuve all, in the old church- yard bebind the church in which the marriage ceremony of Albert and Anna was being performed; in her terrible maledictions of the bridegroom; tn her conversion with Reuben; in her visit to Anna in the garb of a mendicamt; in her touching embraces of the little child Deborah, and in her final farewell, Ristori displayed « raro and:complote mastery over all the passions that agitate the human heart and over the consummate art that know? how to render them faultlessly. It ts but just to add that Madamo Ristori has not been better supported im any piece in which sho has appoarod since her arrival in Now York than im this drama of Dodorah. And if tho scone shifters and’ other persone had only remembered that loud talking and langhing behind the curtain caa be heard too distinctly by the audt- ence in front of {t, we should spare even them all critiosm.
