TUE8DAY EVENING. JAN.
In kormeb timee nearly all the 8en
ators and R*pres*ntative8 in WaBbiug
tonon New Year'a Day called at tbe
White House and paid their respects to
tbe Preeident; but io tboee tico>e
every citizen of tbe country, lo
matter to wbat political party he bt
longed, reepected tbe man who b-d
been elected Preeident by a fair ma
jority of tbe unbought votea of bi?
fellow-citii^ns. But all that haa been
changed, and a- tbe election of Preei?
dent* ie now bought with a prioe, and
not fairly decided by the votee of the
people, few, except tboee who have
some aelfisb intereat to promote, retain
any of tbat reepect, and eo the coc
greeBional callers at tbe "Executive
Mansion"yee!erday were by no meena
numerouH, and tbe democrata among
tbem could be couoted upon one'e
fingern._____
Both Cong.-eee and tbe Ueneral Ar

well be Bpared the extra txpenae ol
both. _
One of tbe few tbinga tbe legi-latur*

Alexandria never waa a good place

Gen. French, commanding wbat h

ftint on the Boer front al Coleaburg,
aitackiog chully witb arlillery. In tbe
meautime be bad aent a force of cavalry

the tigbt llit.k of tbe Boera Tbia op?
eration wae aucceaaful, the Boera being
forced to retreat. The loaa of tbe Brit
tah ia deacribed aa sligbt.
The Boera appear io bave retreateri
o tbe eistward and norlhward. Tbit
indicatea that tbey fell back along tbe
railroad leadiog to the Orange Fiee
.Siate.
Gen. Frencb, it ia believed, has not
enough men at preaent to advance into
be Free dtate, and, beBidee, bia force i?
needed in Cape Colony to protect Geu.
Metbueu'e rear. Hbould he attempt a
further advance, tbe Boera would

railroad line or at tbe Orange river.
