(From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. G, Feb. 3, '83. The first ptiblic reception of the win ter by President Arthur was held at the White House on Tuesday Evening. Full preparations were made for the large -crowd expected, and potted plants upon lntn'tels and consoles were the only dec- oration taade. A special entrance was arranged .through the south portico and Red Parlor for the Cabinet and Diplo zsatic Corps, and another exit for the public was made by bridging the space between the hall window and the outer drive on the north front. The Marine Band was stationed in the vestibule and played throughout the evening. The private and state dining rooms used for cloak rooms. The receiving party stood in the Bine Boom and the President was assisted by Mrs. and Miss McElroy, Mrs. Frelinghuysen, Mrs Chandler, Mrs. Brewster, Mrs. Teller, Mrs. McMichael and Mrs. Rockwell. Marshal McMichael and Colonel Rockwell made the present ations, and the crowd, although quite overwhelming, at iine o'clock so demin ished that when the hour for closing ar tived all had been presented, numbering Something over two thousand altogether. The dressing on the part of the ladies present was unusually handsome and the vast number who filed through had made special toilets for the occasion, rendering it one di the best dressed crowds seen in White House at such leveea Considerable interest is manifested in the new attempt of the Secretary of the navy to detach from the Treasury Dep't those bureaus having semi-naval func tions and to place them under control of the Haty .Depi These comprise the Revenue Marine Service, the Light House establishment, the life saving service, the Coast Survey and the Ma rine Hospital Service, The principal contest is over the Revenue Marine Ser vice and is in no respect a new one. Many Secretaries of the Navy of a man . aging political cast of mind have made vigorous attempts to secure this service but have failed. The last serious con test was in 1875, tinder Mr. Thompson the distinguished mariner of the Wabash but the Hefeat of the navy was so deci sive that .nd effort has since been made in tHai direction. : Judge Jerry Black finished his argu ment in opposition to the anti-bigamy bill before the House judiciary commit tee this morning. He charges that the anti-Mormon laws are utilized for tle benefit ofa clique of politicians and gen tiles who hold the offices and want to control the means of acquiring wealth 'in the Territory. In the oourse of his argument he took the ground that there can be no constitutional trial by jury in Utah so long as mormons of whom there are (twenty -to one gentile are excluded from juries. The Senate Committee on Commerce gave a hearing to-day, upon the bill to prevent the importation of adulterated teas." J. R Davis, of New York, an expert who has had many years of ex perience in the tea exporting business, -explained the English laws upon the subject and the safeguards which the British Government has placed about the importation of tea into that Country. The stringency of the English Laws ta ken in connection with the removal by this country of the ten per cent discrim inating duties on imports east of the Cape of Good Hope have had the effect of making the United Statea the most convenient and protitable receptacle for the cheap adultrated teas which have been excluded from the other markets -of tho world. The rkatter then went over until Tuesday. In all circles here it is anticipated generally that the Treasurers of all the repudiating Commonwealths of the South will sooner or later follow the ex amples set rst by the treasurer of Ten nesee and taore lately by the treasurer of Alabama. The medicine administered . by these defaulting treasurers is of the heroic character, and it seems that thin is what Ik needed, to bring back the sense of public aonor and integrity which Should never have been loaf.

The Archbishop' 8 Celebrated Controver sy unih Mr. Erastus Brooks. A Bit of Secret Jfetospsper History. Mace and Slade. A White Elephant on the Hands of Vie Police. New York, February; 5th, 1883. The ro-interment of the j great Arch bishop Hughes in the crypt of the new Cathedral this week, was one of the most solemn and impressive funeral pa geants ever witnessed in thi3 city. When at the conclusion of; the1 services, the chancel choir of nearly three hun dred voices thundered out! Beethoven's i grand Miserere the effectwas absolutely thrilling. One poor servant girl was so overcome by it that her mind became unbalanced. She laughed and cried hysterically and had to be conveyed out of the church and sent home in a cab, The next day she lost her reason entire ly and was sens to an Insane Asylum. The solemnity recalls to inind the eel ebratcd religious controversy the Arch bishop had with Mr. Erastus Brooks some twenty-five years ago. Erastus and James W. Brooks at that time owned and conducted the Express which in those days had both a morning and an evening edition. James was the ac tive man of the concern, the fighter, the writer of vigorous, pungent nhort edito rials, while Erastus was more the schol ar and the Student He was well versed in religious matters, and for a lay man had a remarkable knowledge of theology. The public school system was at that time in its infancy and the discussion arose whether the Bible should be read to the children. Mr. Erastus Brooks wrote some articles on the subject not tavorablc to Catholicism, which attracted so much attention and aroused so much comment that the Archbishop replied in a " letter to the editor." This brought out further remarks, and within a few days all of New Yof k was interested in this controversial duel between these two brilliant men. Bishop Hughes then proposed that the discussion, which now had assumed large proportions and wan dered from it original limited field to an argument as to the truth of the Cath olic religion should be conducted in another paper, lie thought it would bu fairer than if Mr. Brooks would have, his say in the Express and the Archbish op his reply in his own organ, the Freeman 's Journal About that time the only paper which was really making money! was the Ex press and some of the great dailies of the present day had indeed a hard time of it The Brookses advanced them all money, and thus were quite a power in the fraternity itself. Among their heaviest debtors was Webb's Courier Enquirer, a paper long since extinct. Despite all assistance and all coddling the paper continued to . retrograde, and for a while itlooked as if the Messrs. Brooks would never be able to get back their money. Then when the Archbish op proposed to have the discussion in some independent paper, I the Brookses suggested the Courier-Enquirer. Bishop Hughes'was satisfied, and then the cir culation went up with a bound, adver tisements began to pour in, and in less than no time the paper was able to pay its debts. - The discussion lasted for quite a while. As an old New Yorker expressed it, " it wan a beautiful race, neck and nffek.' Towards the end Bish op Hughes seemed to bo winning, butf, in an unfortunate moment7 lie1 Idst temper and made use of an ugly expr sion against his antagonist As one oi the conditions 5f the controversy was that it was to be conducted in a purely objective manner. Brooks stoppedat once, claiming that if a man was cr-. pelled to leave argument for viffipera-" tion he had lost his cane, and public opinion awarded him his victory. The Archbishop afterwards was very sorry for his words, and I believe the quarrel between the two men was made up. He was a warm hearted impulsive man and was frequently led into words and acts which he afterwards repented. The Irish people in the city were intense ly bitter against Brooks and the Express and it. was frequently necessary for him and the employees of the paper to leave through back doors to escape violence, but Bishop Hughes rebukedfhn severe ly for it. Mr. Brooks however had the Americans with him, and they Elected him to the Senate with an overwhelm ing vote. The' Courier-Enquirer ater the discussion ended rapidly retrograded again and goon expired, but ihe Brook- ses and their money and did not com plain. This is a bit of secret Journal istic history which I think has never been written before. It strikes me that nowhere else in the country tire the authorities fco ready to make spasmodic efforts to satisfy a mo mentary craze or demand as in this blessed (jrotham of oura The case of Mace and SJade is an instance. These two distinguished gentlemen of bruising proclivit ies proposed to give an exhibi tion of .science," at Madison Square Garden. , There was to be no knocking out Th'ey were simply going to put on soft gloves and show what span-fag wast when leiluced to a fine art Then a number of goody-goody people, who write h itters to the editor," and to the Mayor, demanding in the name of jus tice that smoking on front platforms of street car 6 be stopped, and wage relent less war against other similar crimes, wrote to the Mayor declaiming against this " bn atal exhibition." The Mayor sent for the Police and the police to show how ' eager they ar3 to make New York a s rt of New Jeruselem stopped the perfo rraance and arrested Mace and Slade. ' Now they have got a white el ephant o n their hands. The fact is that days of brutal pugilism are over except in a very limited circle, but when box ing and sparring matches are given nightly in dozens of resorts in , town, when th e Young Men's Christian Asso ciation f sraploys a boxing master to teach frequent -ers of the Gymnasium the man ly art, when every Gymnastic Society and Ath Jetic Club cultivates biceps and the. art 5f Using one's fists, when box ing in E ingland has made. the silly duel ling hab it in vogue on the continent of Europe an impossibility, when clergy men, la- wyers and professional men gen erally fi ud in boxing and sparring an a greeable relaxation and a health giving amusem ent then the police did wrong to inter fere with the display of these two exj jerts of the art of " give and take." .This is no defence of Mace and Slade.
