Pleasant Interview with the President and Mrs, Grant—A Call at the Senate Chamber and House of Representa- tives—The Prince Amused by a Tilt Between Butler, Brooks and Morgan. WASHINGTON, Jan, 24, 1870. The sweet Prince was up bright and early to-day, according to his valet and otner reliable authoritioa, The Washington Jenkinses have tt that Arthur got out of bed at precisely fifty-five minutes and twenty, two seconas after six o'clock, when he laved bis royal body, bad his toilet elaborately arranged, wrote several letters, aud then took breakfast in company with Mr, and Mrs. Thornton and Colonel Elphinstone. The Jenkinses have left one important point undetermined, concerning the matitutinal meal, They have not informed your correspondent what tke Prince ate, whether he took coffee or Bor. deaux, becfsteak or chops, scrambled eggs or baked bloaters. They even omit to state the color of the sugar. Your New York Jenkins 1s far ahead of the Washington tribe in such matters. VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE, Precisely at noon the Prince, accompanied by Mr. Thornton, Lieutenant Colonel Elphinstone and Lieu- tenants Pickard and Fitzroy, arrived at the Execu- tive Mansion to present his respects to the Chief Magistrate of the United States, About fitty or sixty men, Women and children, including eight or ten darkies, had congregated on the main portico of the mansion, induiging in sufficient enthusiasm and curiosity to stand out in the damp atr for fully half an hour tn order to get a glance at the novel party of human exotics, ‘Ten minutes before the arrival of the Prince Secretary Fish reached the Executive Mansion and repaired to the Blue Parlor to await the announcement of the royal visitor. At the hour Mentioned Minister Thornton’s carriage and a coupe drove under the west portion, The Prince and Dat blighted and were al Oude tsheréd through the main door across the vestibule and main corri- dor into the Blue Parlor. Here Mr. Fish met Mr. Thornton, by whom the Prince was presented, to- gether with the different membors of his suite. ‘Ihe President, who was busily engaged m transacting the affairs of the nation in his office, was advised of the arrival of the visitor. He immediately suspendea business, and accompanied by his secretaries, Gen- erals Porter and Babcock, Ceneral Dent and Volonel Douglas, left bis office by the public passage way, descending to the floor below by the public stair- case. RECEPTION BY THE PRESIDENT. As the President eatered the Blue Parlor the Prince Was presented by Secretary Fish, The President received the Prince cordially. The latter ex- pressed his appreciation of the courtesies that he had received during his presence tn the United States, his interest im everything he had seen—tin fact he spoke, in elocution, diction and ideas, such as might be expected of any youth of twenty of good breeding and liveral education. The President said ne was welcome to the United States and hoped he would enjoy the visit. After a few minutes interchange of civilities the President informed the Prince with genuime repubiican simplicity and lack of ceremony that he would be Dleased to present him to Mrs. Grant. The Prince Was then conducted into the Red Parlor, where Mrs. Grant, accompanied by her veneravie father, Mr. Dent, was ready to receive the visitor. The entire Darty followed. INTERVIRW WITH MRS. GRANT. The Prince and Mrs. Grant entered into a lively conversation. The Prince stooa directly in front of Mrs. Grant. He held his hat in his teft hang, whicii ‘was crossed behind his back during the entire con- versation. For # prince he seemed to bea littie nervous at first, but after a whiie got along famously. Mrs. Grant kept the Prince engaged in an animated conversation for some ten or fifteen minutes, and during this time the President stood by her side, occasionally adding @ word. General Porter en- gaged Mr. Thornton, the British Minister; General Babcock, Lieutenant Colonel Eiphisstone; General Dent, Lieutenant Pickard, and Colonel Dougias, Lieutenant Fitzroy. ‘The President made no extra embeilishment of his wardrobe. He wore a frock coat, vest and panta- loons, of plain olack, such as he usually wears in his office, and had the appearance of one who haa Just left his labors for a moment to tuter- @ange passiag civilities, Mrs. Grant wore a Plain black silk. The Prince was attired in a biack frock coat, gray cashmere pantaloohs ana patent leather shoes. He wore his coat closely buttoned. Upon an immacutate shirt bosom he dis- played several diamond studs and around his neck @ brown. silk scarf, ~ The conversation lasted twenty minutes when the party withdrew through the Blue Parlor and theuce into the vestibule where the Prince was assisied to his overcoat by the Presidents valet. The President accompanied the Prince to the door of the parlor; Secretary Fish escorted him tnto the vestibule. Aiter the departure of the royal visitor the President re- turned to his oMice and resumed his duties as if nothing had happened. Mr. Fish remained a few Minutes in consultation when, having departed, a score of American full fledged sovereigns were ad- mitied intv the executive presence, The Prince and party drove from the Executive Manston back to the residence of Mr. Thornton where they inaulged tn a juneh, ‘¢ VISIT TO THE CAPITOL. Mer \-aco the Prince, Mr. Thornton and suite, agaia ox carriages end proceeded directly to the Capliol. Tae arty approached by the east front of the Senate wing of the building and entered throagh the main portico. They proceeded at once to the diplomatic gallery. The Prince and Mr. Thoraton occupied the front seats and the rest of the party the rear. At this time Senator Howe was reading his views on the Currency bill recently reported from the Senate Commuitce on Finances, About nalf of the Senators were absent. Shortly after tha Prince reached the diplomatic gallery Senator Cameron joined the party and was introduced by Mr. Thornton, Senator Cameron extended an invi- tation to the party to take seats upon the floor of the Chamber. The Prince stated that he would be most happy to accept the invitation some other time during his stay in the Vapitol, but as he understood Mr. Butler and Mr. Bingham were to speak in the House of Representatives, he was anxious to hear them. During his visit to Kngland several years ago Senator Cameron was invited to the House of Lords and was given a seat at the foot of the throne, which 1s considered a great honor in Monarchical countries. Senator Cameron desired to reciprocate this courtesy by @n invitation to tie floor of the Senate. The party remained but a few minutes in the Senate wien they iett for the House of Representatives, IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES—THE PRINCE EDIFIED BY BUTLER, BROOKS AND, MORGAN, The marble staircases and the Rotunda were much admired by the Prince, and as he walked from one wing to the other his attention appeared to ve constantly arrested by the busy public passing vw and fro with an air of business and anxiety over te aifuirs of jegisiation. Finally the Prince arrived at the House of Representatives. He came itor @ fleld day. Severai big things were to be up aad the Prince had heard of it, and, like thousands of others, anticipated @ rare Parliamentary teat. The gal- leries were crowded and tue floor of the hall was til. Nearly every seat was occupied. Tue unusual throng was occasioued partly by the expected visit of the Prince and partly vecause @ great debate ou te Virginia bill, with an inevitabie ult between the two great ‘B.'s’? was anticipated.

A few raps of the Speaker's gavel restored order and quiet, and Brooks became audible in every part of the House. He said be had only a few Words to say when he began, but as he does not get peak in the presence of a live prince every day he thought he would ex- oud his remarks mto @ regular speech. No doubt he gathered inspiration from the royal presence, for he waxed warmer 4nd more eloquent after the Prince entered and defended the imperilied constitation of the United States in a munner calculated to make the Prince feel that tt Was dangerous business to meddic with that docu- ment. From what Brooks satd it i probable the Prince thought President Grant was not the man le had supposed him to be, and that General Sherman, the Secretary of War, General Terry and @ majority of Congress were little better than go many Guy Fawkes. Ho must have been impressed witn the idea that Georgia ts not much bebind Ireland in the matter of beiug an oppressed, badly governed and much abused province, Brooks talked of oroken promiges, perjury and outragea law in a style to give the Prince vo understand that those placed in power to execute the laws in this country made thelr Violauion & constant study, But tt was the irrepressible Butler the Prince came to see and to hear, and so Wuen Butler got the floor bis Royal Highness leaned foi ward over the gullery, as if he was determined to near every word that fell from the lip’ of Massachusetts’ “favorite gson.’!

Finally Butler, stretching lus short, thick neck a9 far over towards the democratic side of the House as he could, and elevating bis eye- brows ull his face assumed the appearance of a full moon, roared out, "i waut the gentleman from Ono to understand that [don’t keep school.” Here the Priuce taughod heartily Ory and evidently be- came more deeply interested in Butler.

MARKET I0BS IN THE METROPOLIS, Consolation for Patriots Drafted During the War. DULNESS IN ALBANY. ALBANY, Jan, 24, 1870, A BIG MARKET JoB. Alexander Frear’s bill introduced to-day for the Mcorporation of a “Manhattan Market Company of the City of New York,” provides for an immense piece of business, The tncorporators, consisting of Feliciano Latassa, Willtam H. Fuller, Charies E. Lut, ‘Thomas Marshall, C. H. Swan, R. M. Harrington, Wiliam Tobin, are empowered to take charge of all the markets tn the city under one consolidaied Management, to rent and lease stalls, buy properiy, bulid piers, &c., for market purposes, with power to issue stock and scrip. ‘This law, you seg, would create an almost omnipotent board to settle the whole market question, NO JOKE ABOUT SING SING, Ibis au error to suppose that the proposition to remove Sing Sing Prison has nothing substantial about it. Huafed, the lather of the bill, agseverates that the inhabitants of the town of Sing sing, about 7,000 in number, hail the proposal with extraordinary enthusiasm and are quite in earnest about it, Int deed, a citizen of that place says that if the bill should pass every man, woman and child im that pretty village will rise and call Jim Husted biessed. I will add that there is a very fair chance for the bill, and I will tell youthe reason why. There are no less than thirty or forty towns inthe State most anxious to become the site of the new State Prison, being quite willing to risk the demoralization for the sake of the profits, so that this will give at least that number of votes for the measure. ‘The property owners of Sing Sing say that real estate will advance wat least thirty per cent the moment the bil! becomes Jaw. Inasmuch as the Governor's homestead is in the village of Sing Sing and his venerable father 1s @ resident there, there may be no objection apuci- pated as to the bill being affirmed should it pass both houses, A SINGULAR CASE.

Acase involving serious suspicions of foul work Wis developed in this city yesteraay, and has led to the arrest of three persons and the \asuing of war- rants for one or two others, under the belief that. they are in some way involved in hurrying an old man out of tue world aud appropriating his pro- perty.

He had in his possession about $60,000 in United Sates bonds and other negotiable aecurt tes. Alexander wags @ man of mature age, having been g ship master und owner.

Severai of his friends remousirated with him as to the dauger of carrying so large @ sum upon tus person, Dut Alexander, Whose appearance was that of @ man in straitened circumstances, expressed his unconcern.

It is made the business of u special gession On that occasion. The debate will be led by ex-Gover- nor Alvord and De Witt C. Littiejohn, both republicans, but differing widely upon chis question. Littiejobn adheres to the broad, popuiar views of the resolutions in favor of reductag we prices of the necessaries of life to the masses, Perhaps if the word “salt”? were left out Mr. Aivord might not be found tn opposition.
