WASHINGTON , January 2. It is
generally remarked horu tliat the re-
coptitm nt the Whitu House to.day ,
though a very quiet 0110 , was more
largely attended mid moro brilliunt
than for ninny years. The general
feeling towards the now president is
most kindly. Everybody is willing
to testify regard for him and their
upport in the duties or his position.
Party feeling suiuus to luvo hoen for
gotten , and hia most ardent op
ponents tpoak kindly of .linn and
Ilia abiKty thus far displayed. This
accounts in p.u't for tlio lurgo attend-
unco at the reception to-day. An
other cause ia that comparatively fuw
people hero have aeon the president
and many leas have had the privilege
cf meeting him. There Ima not been
New Year's reception at the White
House for twelve years in which there
was mingled with the feeling of re
spect as much curiosity as to-ctay. Betide -
( tide a desire to see the president ii
per on , there were many who wore
anxious toeeo the SVliito House since
it had been refitted. It is
'considered by all that the
interior hag never looked so well us it
did to 'day. Still another cause 'for
the largo attendance was the fact that
the weather , though quite cold , was
very phxuant and particularly HO by
comparison with former occasions of
this sort. 'One year ago the diy was
much colder , while on January 1 ,
1880 , iv heavy snow storm and very
disiigreeablo weather prevented
attendance. The attendance of
the army and navy was
particularly largo. The toilettes of
the ladiea were in many cast's very
'handsome. ' The ladies who received
with the president were Mrg. Fro-
linghnyBcn , who wore a black satin
and brocade ; the wife of Attorney
General Browster stood next ; she
wore a dark wine-colored velvet with
collar and ruff and 'elbowalcoves
of anuo lace ; Mrs. ( Lincoln ,
wife of the secretary ot
war , was next. Sha wore black
Spanish lace , open on the sides an'd
'front , shewing a rich uindorekirt > of
old gold /axtin. Mrs.Senator Xogari
'blue velvetwith white satin , and pro
fusion of 'white lace and a handsome
dress. Twof the moat elegant dresses
were worn by Poetmuter 'General
James' wife vho stood next , and their
daughter , Mrs. Pearson , with
whom 'the president lud made
'it a .personal matter that
they should return from New York
and asMHt him to-day. iBoth dresses
were evidently worn for the firsts ! me ;
that of Mrs. James wan of a sea shell
tint of pink , moire antique , with > broad
ruffs of plain satin , sauio. shade , over
which fell a very wide point duchesao
lace. The exquisitely tine ( Jirt hud a
long train , pe fectly nluin , of the rich
material , ftiic. the witiat , which
was cut square in the nock , was trial-
med with the came lace. ffho skirt
was very long end graceful , and was
cut out at the bottom in a vandyke ;
across the front it was iuiishutl with
narrow triple Irsx pleat * . The wife of
Senator Miller , of California , .was tlio
next lady ; uhe wore a superb moire an
tique riiiido wiih watteuu pJcats ,
trimmed with point lace. She wore ,
rich jowolu. A daughter of the secretary -
rotary of the navy stood at the end
in line.She were black Spauiah Jaco
over colored silk. Mrs. Don < CiKne-
ron wore white nil ! , with the front
breadth triucmod with gold brocade ,
her catin dress was also trimmed with
point lace and pourt fringe ornaments
.of di&uionds ; Mrs. Pondleton , over
white skirt white atcipod gauze ; Mr * .
Blaine wore an elegant dress of pure
vplvot and satin , with a few hoico
diamond ornaments ; Mrs. Robewon
wore heliotrope and white brocade
.combined with plain 'heliotrope ilk ;
Miss Lucy Frolinghuyson and her-ais-
tor , Mrs John Davis , were very ele
gant full dress toilettes. The num
ber of ladies present wui unuauiilly
large , nearly nil oiHoials having one
or moro members of their familtua
with them ,
Particularly noticeable among the
foreign representatives were the new
Chiueao miniiter and assistant , dreiued
in full Chinese costume very rich ami
wearing upon his cap the inci'iia of
rank to which ho belongs. The Turk
ish minister was also a notable Ji nro ,
wearing his red cap with tussell dur
ing the reception according to tlio cus
tom of his nationality. The president .
was very i lainly dressed in black cut
away coat , daik punts and vent , fault-
leas glow being the only d.ish of
white in his costume. Thin innova
tion upon costume BO long hold by
which the presidents received in full
druss was ttio subject of no little com
ment and the president's ox.
cellout taste ao often com
plimented in ' tl.u past few months ,
received much' further commendation.
At 12 o'clock the army and navy offi
cers callo ! , presenting a very hand
some appearance in tliuir brilliant
uniforms. At I'-1 : 30 came the commissioner -
missioner of agriculture , Mr , Loriiv/ ;
the assistant secretaries uf tlu depart
ment , the ( mutant postmaster gon.
oral , Solicitor General Phillips and
tlie heads of buro.ius of the Hevural
departments. The number of suna-
tor.i and members of congress wai
qiuto imal ! , owing to thu fact that
moat of thorn were absent from the
city. The new attorney general and
postmaster general were among the
callers. The Marino band discoursed
excellent music during the bourn of
reception. At 12:4ii : the Oldest In-
hiuitiuitR association called , and nt 1
p. m. the general reception to citizens
bogan.
The attendance of army and navy
officers this year wan particularly
largo and brillmnt ; among habitues
of the White House the reception
wns remarked as being n remarkably
quiet one , though generally well at
tended. There wns n subdued nnd
solemn air in the personal conduct of
many callers , which showed that re
collection of the scones in the house
of the past few month * was very
vivid before their minds. Probably
to none nro'thoy more vivid than to
President Arthur.
The cards ' of admission to
the principal callers were
in deep blncjt border , and by
the president's special do.siro all dis
play in the hnusi } was dispensed with
save the halls and rooms were made
cheerful with plants nnd light and
warmth. It is , however , thu uoneral
ro.i irk that the house never looked so
well an at thin time. The hullo have
been refurnished "And repainted in ex
ccllent taste , rtdh Turkish carpets
laid and the Wills of thu blue
nnd red rootinf newly decora
ted. The hftuso was very
comfortable in the curly part of the
day , but the constant stream of callow
passing through Mio diwrs , making it
necessary to keep them constantly
open , chilled atmosnkttro in the re
ception rooms , nnd the biting winter
air of thu outside hnd before 2 o'clock
found its way to every part of the
house. During the citizens' hour the
number of callers was unusually largo ,
duo in pirt to the f.ict that the rt y ,
although cold , was immunity pleas nt ,
nnd the fact that "few peoplv hero have
yet seen the preaidont.
The gas was not lighted in any of
the parlors or oarridora , but curtains
were so arranged us to make n acini-
twilight as the sun fllinno through
them. Most of the foreign countries
were represented by mini-tiers , but in
a few cases in the absence of thatotii-
ciul , ninitherporsonncted in hit stead.
Mr. Do Mossener , of the Russian le
gation , represented that country , in

rommorco Bill.
Hit Early Goniidorntlon in the

INTEH-STATE COMMERCE-
Special to the Clnclimtti CommrrcUI.
WASHINONON , D 0. , December 'JO.
Antoni ! moasureo which will bo early
presented for the consideration of con
gress is an intur-stato commerce bill ,
which bears the name of Mr. Ueng.\n ,
of Te.xas. Ho.igan naya that lu became -
came n member of thin congress chietly
for the purpose of urging thin bill.
Page , of California , chairman of the
committee on commerce , has an
nounceil himself in favorof this nu-ai
lire , and teveial of lu's associates in
the committee oncommcrcearo known
to bo also favorable to the Reagan
lull. The fundamental provisions of
the bill arc ;
First , That the constutionnl inter
pretation of "commerce" includes in
tur-ntato traffic , and that while freight
and pasnonucrB transported within the
state am solely under control of the
laws pissed by state legislatures ,
freight * , paraengers , Ac. , which uro
received in one stnto to be delivered
in another , are subject to regulntions
prescribed by comireBS.
Tlio bill is lengthy ami explicit as
to the niMini-r in which the authority
over inter state traflic , which it nsserta
exists in conjirons , should bo exor
cised. Rnagan iaquito sanguine us to
tlie passage of hia bill if a reportcan
bo had from * the committee on com
inoree but the bill will encounter
heavy opposition both in cnnnnittec
nnd in tie ! kimsp. The goiifltitntional
doctrine which itawrts will be stout
ly contested. It will bo nrguofl in the
committee on commerce that thirty
eight state legislatures are bettor
cuurdiana of the pojple'a iiiterestn in
theee nmtterswhich come under their
innnodin'e observation , than one nn
tiomil legislature could bo. Tt will bo
jirgued again that raiir > ads derive
their charters from the states ; that
the charters are contracts between the
ctateR nn the one hand find certain
individual or corporations on the
othtr--and ! that congress bin not the
power to invalidate or niter or im
pair < the obligations of these con-
tr.icte. It will bo insisted that
transportation is not commerce ; that
trade is not commerce ; Unit property
which may become Iho subject < > f
coiumercti43 not commerce , nnd that
many things nnd cunditioim , which ,
together go to make up commerce eve
noi themaulvea cominurco within Uio
meaning At the constitution , and are
not , therefore , proper subjects of < y > n-
grcsaionai regulation.
'In the case of Gibson against < ) L'-
don , the supreme court , through
'Judge Marshall , dedorod that
whiclr reipect turnpiko-roads , ferries ,
nfcc. , aru-not within thq ewer granted
1bcongc8s. will -bO'1'argued thai
railroad * are modern -oubstitutcs for
or nquivQlonts of turnpike roada , ferries -
rios , cite. , and therefore follow the
above rcle , railroads not having been ,
when the constitution was framqfl.
It will ke urued that the principle > of
the Reagan bill would-placo the state
coach runninc from a village
i : Connectiout or New- Jersey , to the
city of New York , under com
plete domination and'iwulation of Uie
congrfwa of the United-8 tat en ; that it
would bo a monotroim extension of
federal authority , Which waa never
contemplated by thu framers of Uie
constiietii'ii.
Spe.vLingto day of bin measure , Mr.
Rta ait said : " [ introduced a bill
known as the inier-fttato commerce
bill , when billa from thu otato of Texas
wore c < ihid ! for , a.\td \ I c.lco fnrninhod
to Senator Call , -of Texas , a copy of
tin ) bill fur introdnctitiii'irt ' the nenatu.

the tiill'frnm what it way .heretofore "
"Iliiw do you lihe thu < ; oimtitu < iin
of tho"C < Jtnmittee-ou conunerce in the
preaent'ltoUHe ? "
"I * m not sufficiently J&miliar
thu oj/inio'm entcTtained'by tlie mem-
bora of rhe committee in regard to the
bill to venture U > ex iresa an opititon
on to what they will do. The pro-
AMaiona.tif the hill are about the same
aa those in thu bill report-ed to the
.luet concri H-I , with the exception
tint in the first foction the present
ibill provides that all chargoa shall IM
reasonable. The objuet of introdu
cing this provision in to-conjpol reason
able charguc under the liabilitieH and
penalties that apply tct otlier viola
tions of the-Jaw. Again in Iho sev
enth suction of the bill , u change is
made so that the civil t-uita which in-
( hvyhiiilti are authuri/xxl to brinu may
bo broughtviu any court of competent
jilrindiction. Thuy are tliua enabled
Ut bring suchaniu in the atnU > conrU ,
which urn moro convenient to the | > i-o-
I'lo ' , aud more > greo.iblo. The IJL ! turn
ncUoi'8 and the criminal procuedingi
will have to be tn the federal ci.nrts ,
nndthere ia added to this Bccticn u
i'eiuiruinent that thu 'lintnol attor-
neyn of the Uniltd States shall proso-
cut tlio ( jui tain uetioim , uitlutr upon
their mniion or upon the uflidavit of
resjiectublo cili/eiiH , I aui voiy
aiiMoutt to get thu bill cnnHidttrml by
the present congrou : , and regaid it at
altogether the mostiimpnrtantmoamiro
buforotyjiigrciu , undl regard ilfurthur
an aseunul that if the railroad men
wore wiwi thuy would not oppose it ,
bc'c.iiiHu it in altogether conservative
in its character , simply looking to tin
protection of the inteccits of the people -
plo by restraining thu undue exorcise
of the monopoly power ) of tht'Ho cor-
[ KiritioiiH , and in no way interferes
tvith the just management of thovo
roads. That is the truth about the
bill. There has been much effort J
used to the contrary , but my judg .
ment IH tint if the opponents of the
hill prevent roatintiabfu lu ixlulion nf
thin kind , the time will come ulion
they limy cxpuet legislation of a iniiuh
mure radical ehaiaotur , for it can not
ho jineiililo that fifty milliunu of
Amurioin pooplii will turn their com
merce ov.er to the uiidiscriminating .
ind uncontrolled license of corpora
tions. 1 ) mvo given a great
deal of attention to this
for the lost five years , and I can
say that but for aomo hope of ro-
civing favorable on this bill 1 should
not have wanted to come back to
congress at all. There have boon
moro petitions sent * o congress for
the puMAgo of this moftsxiro. I tnko it ,
than any niMsuro in thu history of
the government , perhaps two or three
times us many , and they luvo como
from every state in the union. 1 have
myself received hundred' , nnd I
think I might say thousands , of let
ters from people in nil part * nf the
union , embracing many of the lirat
men in the country. The oppositi in
to the pasuagt ! "f the bill is not
limited to any ono party. It has
como mainly from these who repre
sent the interests of the rnilr .ul cor-
porationa The bill passed the house
of representative * in the Forty-fifth
concrete by thirty-rivo majority , nnd
I think it we could have got it before
the house last , congress we could Imvw
passed it by seventy-live majority. "
