his daughter, and naturally he would kiss her, but some people thought the old man should have waited until he met her at her own home before he kissed her for the New Year. ’•lt is just thirty years to-day," said Civilservice Commissioner Edgerton, to-night, “since I last attended a New Year's reception at the White House. I was a member of Congress then, Pierce was President, and 1 could not help but think how little has the reception changed. I could have shut my eyes and thought I was back thirty years. Os course, there were changes in. the faces, the people, and the furniture, but the decorations were very like thirty years ago. The diplomatic corps, the judges, the senators, congressmen and all, came as they do now: not so many, of course, but in the same style. Humanity is there, just the same.* Judge Edgerton, after tho reception at the White House, made the round of the residences of prominent people, including the Cabinet officers, and made many new acquaintances. Details of the President’s Reception. To the Western Associated Press. Washington Jan. I.—For the first time in several years Now Years day dawned clear and beautiful. The hoar frost was soon dispelled by the rising snn, and long before noon the temperature was like that of a spring day. The occasion was observed here as in former years by general calling; business was suspended to a considerable extent, and all the executive departments were closed. At the entrance to the White House grounds two policemen kept back a crowd of curiosity seekers. Mounted policemen kept the carriage approaches clear, and a long line of officers formed on either side of the doorway to the executive mansion. The full Marine Band occupied the main vestibule, and discoursed airs during the progress of the ceremonies. Tho decorations of the mansion were exceedingly simple, being confined to tasteful floral arrangements. Bouquets of great size and of harmonious colors 'stood on the centertables, and delicate garlands of smilax entwined the chandeliers. Mrs. Bayard leaned upon the arm of the Presden t, Secretary Bayard escorted Miss Clovejmd, and the remaining members of the Cabinet ollPwed with their ladies, Secretary Lamar eing the only absentee. Col. Wilson preceded them, aftd Lieutenant Duval, with Miss Bayard, brought up the rear. The ladies stood in this order, on the President’s right: Miss Cleveland, Mrs. BayaTd, Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Whitney and Mrs. Vilas. Owing to a severe cold, Mrs. Endicott was not present The President and the members of the Cabinet wore Prince Alberts. Miss Cleveland wore a costume of garnet velvet, with beaded embroidery; the corsage was of white, cut square in front and heart-shaped at the back; the garnet velvet formed a peasant waist in front; the sleeves were short, and the pearl-colored gantants reached high above the elbows; she carried a bouquet of white rosea Mrs. Bayard wore a train of white satin, with richly embroidered white canton crepe, draped shawl-shape over the skirt; she wore a bouquet do corsage of natural roses. Mrs. Manning wore a very faint shade of heliotrope. embroidered in pearl, with "Crystal beads all over the front; it bad a train, as did the dress of each lady in the receiving party. Mrs. Whitney wore white satin, richly embroidered in silver. A magnificent diamond necklace and diamond comb completed her toilette. Mrs. Vi.'as wore a shrimp-pink coat, with Oriental trimmings and embroidery ir, crepe lisse. Mrs. Laraont, the wife of the President’s pri vate secretary, who was present with her husband, wore an elegant toilet of flame-colored SAtin. The members of the foreign legations, who take advantage of this opportunity to pay their respects to tbe executive, had all arrived, and tho presidential party had scarcely taken their places before the Portuguese minister was presented, and his brother diplomates followed in line. Their liand3ome uniforms gave an additional brilliancy to the scene. The British government was represented by its minister, Hon. L. S. West, Mies West, Miss Flora West, Mr. and Mrs, Hilyar, and Mrs. Lehman, the gentlemop named being ai! members of the British legation in Misses West wore dark hiue and muffs to match; "tfie skirts of the dresses were of silk, striped with red, blue and old gold, and the bodices were trimmed with a little .gold passemectrie, and had full fronts of white crepe lisse. During the diplomatic reception the Secretary of State stood at the left of the President to introduce him to the members of the foreign legations: The following countries were represented: Portugal, Italy, Great Britain, China, Austria, Mexico, Russia, Franco, Switzerland, Turkey, Spain, Peru, Costa Rica, Belgium, Ecuador, Germany, the United States of Colombia, Norway and Sweden, Argentine Republic. Brazil, Den mark, and Venezuela. All the members of the diplomatic corps, except those who represent republics on this continent, wore uniforms. Tho reception of the members of the Supreme Court and the Court of Claims followed. Os the former, there were present Chief-justice Waite, and Justices Blatchford, Harlan, Bradley, Woods, Miller, Fields and Strong, accompanied by the ladies of their families. Accompanying tho justices were Judge Bancroft Davis and Mr. and Mrs. J. M. McKenney. The Court of Claims was represented by Chief-justice Richardson and Justices Knott and Davis. The Supreme Court of the District was represented by Judges TacArthur, Hagner, Cox, Merrick and James. Commissioner Webb and Major Leiaecker represented the District Commissioners. As the visitors passed through tho receiving parlors they congregated in tbe East Room and mingled with others in conversation. Among the senators were Sherman, Logan, Cockrell, Hawlov, Miller, Cameron, Coke, Cullom, Manderson. Sabin, Brown and George. Among the representatives were Speaker Carlisle, Randall, Ketcham, Farquhar, Seymour, Willis, Brown of Pennsylvania, Struble, Taylor of Tennessee, Barksdale, Cobell, Barbour, Van Eaton, Thompson, Matson, Ward, Morrison, Lefevre, Scott, Swope, Payson, Fuller, Fredericks, Connor.

Cole, Clements, Gibson, Wilson and Delegate Caine. Most of the congressmen had their wives with them. Senator Sherman was the ouly ex-Cab-inet officer noticed. At a few minutes to 12 o’clock a long line of army officers wended their way from the War department across the way. Between seventy and eighty officers reside in Washington, and all who were able to be present were in line. Besides those from tbo different bureaus of tbe War Department, the barracks, and Fort Myer, * number came over from Fort McHenry to pay their respects, and tbe force was largely increased by the number on leave. General Sheridan, of course, headed the line, accompanied by his personal staff. Adjutant-general Drum followed. Then, in order, came the officers of the Corps of Engineers, headed by Colonel McComb, retired, tbe Signal Corps, headed by General Hazen; artillery, infantry, Medical Corps and Pay Corps. Thero was no intermission between the army and navy roception. The line of naval officers followed on the footsteps of the army officers. It was headed by Admiral Porter, and by his side talked Admiral Wharton. Following came the Afferent chiefs of bureaus of tbe Navy Department. In fact, like the army, the navy vras represented by nearly every officer who is at present in Washington. Os course both army and navy officers were in full-dress uniform, and they presented a very handsome appearance in the East Room, where they gathered for a few minutes after their reception in the Blue Parlor. Tbe new officials from tbe various departments were nearly all present. The Civil-service Commissioners, Messrs. Edgerton, Trenholra and Eaton,, and Professor Beard, followed by Professor Powell aud all the heads of the scientific departments, led in this procession. Then fol lowed all the heads of bureaus in the departments who are presidential appointees. Assistant Secretary Fairchild led the Treasury officials. Following them camo the oldest inhabitants, numbering about fifty. Their appearance was venerable and very impressive. The G. A. R. delegations followed. The pleasant weather served to bring out one of the largest New Year's receptions for many years, Tbe members were in line accordlug to their posts, and numbered about l.ltiO in all. They were admitted through the west doors, and before tbe line had finished coming up tbe walk the front part was going through the east gate. Many colored men, some of them paauoed and crippled, were included ia the ranks

of this orranisation. The gates were not opened to the public until nfter the reception was completed. Tbe crowd of watting citizens was immense, reaching far down the avenue. When the time arrived for the general reception, the gates were opened and the line passed through tho White House. Notwitstanding the immense crowd the best of order prevailed, and everything passed off in the smoothest possible manner. Daring the reception all the parlors except the East Room were darkened, and when the diplomates, the army and navy, and other officials entered the beautiful room, the effect was most brilliant. The sun shone brightly through the southern windows, and the splendid landscape viewed from them added no little to the charming scene. Itia estimated that over G,OOO persons shook hands with the President during the reception. In eight minutes he shook the hands of 274 persons, or about thirty-four a minute. The highest number previously greeted by a President on New Year’s day was by General Grant, who grasped the hands of twenty-eight persons a minute for thirteen minutes. OTHER RECEPTIONS.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Rochester, Jan. 1. —Henry Morrison, for several years past bead clerk in Meyer Wile’s dry goods store, disappeared last evening, leaving creditors, to whom the young man has become indebted during the past six months, in sums ranging from $lO to S2OO. Morrison had also forged the names of his employer, Mr. Wile, and those of Elijah Miller and James Keely, to notes, from which he realized several hundred dollars. As secretary of the Masonic lodge in this city he is said to have embezzled S4O, and his account as treasurer of the Knights of Pythias shews a deficit of S9O. but the latter organization will be recompensed by Morrison's bondsmen. The total amount of his peculations is estimated at from SBOO to $1,200. Morrison was, until a few months ago,"a prom ising young man, possessing the confidence and esteem of a large circle of acquaintances, and moving in the best society. His ruin is ascribed to gambling, for which he had acquired an intense passion. An effort will be made to discover his whereabouts, and if found he will doubtless be vigorously prosecuted by hisvictims. _ Arrested on an Old Charge, Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

THE NEW GOVERNORS. Inauguration of Fitzhugh Lee—A Notable Absence of Colored Men. Richmond, Va., Jan. 1. —Gov. Fitzhugh Lee was inducted into office to day in the presence of the General Assembly of Virginia, in the hall of the House of Delegates, the galleries and every inch of available standing room being occupied with interested spectators, including,many ladies The rotunda and approaches thereto were also crowded with people, all striving to gain admission to the hall or to catch a glimpse of the new Governor as he passed. At noon the Speaker called the House to order, and the proceedings were opened with prayer by Right Rev. Dr. A. M. Randolph, bishop of the Episcopal Church. Then the Senate filed in by twos, and took the seats assigned them. The Speaker then called the joint convention to order, and named Delegates A. Fulkerson and R. M. Stribling and Senator Taylor Berry as a committee to notify Governor Lee that the General Assembly was ready to receive him. In a few minutes loud cheering on the outside announced the approach of the gubernatorial party, and soon afterwards Governor Lee, arm in arm with the retiring executive, Governor Cameron, entered the hall, followed by a number of ladies aud gentlemen, including Hon. John F. Massey, Lieutenant-governor-elect, and Mrs. Gen. Lee, wife of the Governor. The appearance of the party was the signal for a perfect ovation of enthusiastic anplause, which continued several minutes. The two Governors were escorted to the Speaker's platform, where Hon. L. L. Lewis, President of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, administered the oathr of office to the new Governor and Lieuten-ant-governor. At the conclusion of this ceremony the joint convention was dissolved, and the House took a recess for fifteen minutes. Congratulations and handshaking then became the order of the day, the Governor descending to the floor and meeting friends and strangers alike, with a pleasant word for each. A noticeable incident of the ceremony was the almost total absence of colored people in the hall; only two colored delegates were present, and a colored man wearing the badge of the Joel Parker Association of Newark, N. J. The latter joined jn the stream of visitors who passed by the Governor, and congratulated him. He extended his hand to the Governor, and with a smile upon his face, said: “Governor, let me congratulate you.” Governor Lee looked at him. and breaking out into a laugh, exclaimed: “My friend, don’t you think the conntiy is safe now?’’ The colored man laughingly replied, “Governor, I believe it is.” It urns an amusing incident, and no one enjoyed it more than Governor Lee. Captain F. M. Hayes, of the Fifth United States Cavalry, who was the bosom friend and companion "of Governor Lee when the latter was a lieutenant ia the same regiment before the war, and who came all the way from the Indian Territory to be present at the inauguration, was among the crowd, and when Governor Lee spied him, he hailed the Captain with, “Hello. Jack, how are you today?” to which Captain Hayes answered, “Very well, Fitz; allow ms to congratulate you,” aud a warm and cordial grasp of the hand followed. After the assemblage had dispersed, Governor Lee proceeded to the gubernatorial office in the Capitol, where the retiring Governor turned the office over to him. Ex-Governor Cameron remained in the hall during tho reception, and was greeted by many of those present. The inaugural ball occurred at Armory Hall this evening. The ceremony of receiving occupied till midnight, when the banqueting and dancing began. It was the most brilliant affair in the history of the old Commonwealth. The heauty and chivalry of Richmond and other cities were fully represented. The hall was beautifully decorated with flags, banners and palmetto leaves, and a palmetto tree, sent from South Carolina for the occasion, stood near the ontrance.

Governor Hill Inducted Into Office. Albany, Jan. I.—The ceremonies attending: the inauguration of Governor Hill, to-day, were among the most imposing ever witnessed at the Capitol. The weather was extremely fine, and but for the muddy condition of the streets nothing could have been desired. The attendance of visitors from all parts of the State was very large and the parade of military and civic organizations was most successful and imposing, about 2,500 men being in lino. The streets were crowded with people, and great enthusiasm was manifested. The procession marched to the executive mansion. The Govornor and mayor rode in a carriage drawn by gaily-caparisoned horses, reaching the Washington-avenue entrance of the Capitol shortly before 1 o’clock. The Governor and party were escorted to the Assembly chamber, and as they made their appearance on the temporary platform were greeted with longcontinued applause. Prayer was offered by Bishop Doane. Judge Learned made a brief address, and admistered the oath of office to Governor Hill. The Governor then delivered bis inaugural address, which was chiefly devoted to a review, in brief, of the career of the Governors of New York since the inauguration, on July 30, 1770, of Gen. George Clinton. He closed with a few words of praise to his immediate predecessor, Governor, now President, Grover Cleveland, and pledged his support to administrative reform.

L —The Age of Steel will publish, on Saturday, the results of an extended inquiry into rarious phases of the labor question, in the form of communications from representative manufacturers, 'workmen and political economists. The topics considered relate to strikes, and lock-outs, arbitration as a means of settling disputes between labor and capital, industrial partnerships, or a mutual participation of all concerned in the profits arising from production, and the practicability of co-op-erative production in the United States. Among the contributors are Howard Crosby, Edward Everett Hale, Dr. Rylance, David H. Mason, Bishop Warren, H. D. Lloyd,- R. Heber Newton, Dr. Chas. R Baker, Professors Hadley, of Yale; Seligman, of Columbia; Newcomb, of New York; James, of Wharton School of Finance; Clarke, of Smith College; Waterhouse, of Washington, and the State Labor Commissioners of lowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Pennsylvania The side of the workman is represented by Rob ert Bennett, master workman of the Illinois Knights of Labor, the officers of the Illinois Miners’ Protective Association, John Jarrett, Fred Woodrow, aud others. Among the manufacturers are the presidents of the Junction, Western, Paulding and Greeneastle nail companies, Charles Ridgley, N. O. Nelson, Joseph Cor us, A. H. Dan forth, W. T. Kellogg, B. C. Yose, Eliot Todd, and John A. Gibney. A summary of the opinions expressed shows that strikes and lock-nuts are the inevitable results of the wage system, and of the present form of labor organizations. Arbitration is commended, and in most cases the enactment of laws embodying its principles are favored. Professor.Clavke says: “The competition which'is the basis of the orthodox political economy is already a thing of the past in the sphere of wage adjustments. It has been vitiated by combinations on both sides.” Professor James suggests that arbitration has the great advantage of subjecting the acts of the parties to it to the efficient and powerful control of an energetic public opinion. It recognizes that the interests at stake are not merely those of the laborer and employer, but also those of the community at large. " Edward Trow, secretary of the board of arbitration for the manufacturing iron trade of England, says: “The benefit and success of the system of arbitration for settling disputes over the system of strikes aud lock-outs fully establishes its utility and adaptability, and no parallel can be found in the history of trade where difficulties have been settled so advantageously.” Many cases are cited where manufacturers have adopted arrangements for the division of certain percentages of surplus profits among employes. Charles A. Pillsbury & Cos., oi ! Minneapolis, sav: “We have no reason to regret the amount of money which we have thus distributed among our workmen, as it has given us a very loyal and conscientious class of men, aud we certainly do not think we are any poorer by the outlay. We never have the least trouble with our employes, or disaffection among them.” R. Heber Newton, says that “If society is to advance and the mass of men to be lifted higher, a more just division of profits must be found. Nay, even, if we are to avoid bloody revolution and anarchy, such a reform must accomplish itself in some way.” A prominent workman suggests that if half the intellect that has been employed to concentrate 97 percent, of the wealth of our cities into the hands of 3 per cent, of their population, and to reduce wages to the European basis, had been exercised in discovering an equitable basis for the distribution of the profits of industrial enterprises, it would long ago have been discovered. John Jarrett advocates profit-sharing, if based on industrial partnerships. He would have the workmen purchase shares in the stock of the company by which they are employed. He also regards intemperance as the greatest curse of American workmen. On the question of co-operation there is a groat variety of opinion, J. C. Sarsfield, of New York, believes that when industrial co-operation is established, the day of deliverance is at hand for the working classes, whose heritage is poverty and toil. Asa rule, the manufacturers do not regard productive co-operation as practicable in this country. Many experiments have been made, but with indifferent success. Their failure is ascribed to want of business tact, dishonest officials, lack of education, and the obstacles thrown in its way by large corporations. The labor commissioners advocate co-operation as beneficial to both employers and employes. It will increase the earnings of capital by obviating long and expensive strikes, and make the men more faithful in their work, and more careful of the interests of their employers. A. S. Danforth, of the Colorado Coal and Iron Company, says: “The solution of the whole question of the relations of capital and labor must be evolved out of the chaos which now exists, and much time and money must be spent before a solution is reached. The co-operative plan, pure and simple, can never come into play except as regards enterprises on a very small scale, and even then it is not likely to succeed, but the co operative principle, in'some form, must be the basis upon which industrial enterprises will finally be adjusted. The aggregation of wealth in a few hands, coupled with discontent among the masses, .are incompatible with republican institutions, and safety lies in some middle ground between an aristocracy of wealth on the one hand, and Socialism on the other.”

The crowd seeing the smoko and flames enveloping him, did not wish to see him die so easily. They scattered the brands, and the man was seen writing in agony. Once more a pile of light wood was constructed, and the flames sprang up briskly, scorching the negro terribly. Before they became fatal, however, they were again subdued, and again the doomed wretch was seen convulsed with terror aud pain. The third time the pile was allowed to do its work, and the body of Rood was completely reduced to ashes. The crowd then dispersed to their homes. Congratulations of the Season. Bt.
