A COLORED "RECEPTION." A Novel Scene in the Federal Capital. The Washington correspondent of tho New "York Herald writes : An event somewhat novel to tho fashionable season in tho national capital occurred at tho residence of Secretary Browning on Saturday afternoon last. The" Secretary gave a recep? tion to the colored messengers of the Depart? ment of tho Interior and their families. From the best accounts KI von bf the inception and result of this entortainment it would appear that winni tho genial Secretary issued invi? tations to tho heads of bureaus and clerks of hi? department to visit him on Friday evening, he left the colored em? ployees entirely out in tho cold. In viet? ?of their altered circumstances thoao aspirants for perfect equality had no notion of allow la? things to go on as they did under the old re? gime, and so either delegated one of their number to jog the Secretary's memory con? cerning a certain proclamation issued by Presi? dent L ncoln, or managed in some way to hint to him that all the employees of the depart? ment should bo served alike. The Secretary "saw the point," and sont his messenger to a nurjjbor of tho colored moasongers in the several bureaus with a verbal invitation to them and ?heir families to call upon himself and Mra. Browning between the hours of two And five o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Ur. Browning desired to seo all his subordi? nates collectively to bid them farewell previous to his retin ment ?BOS? office, anti concluded to -adopt itiiS method or doing it. The Seoretary and Mrs. Browning accordingly made prepara? tions to give their colored guests a land recep? tion. The appointed hour arrived, and with it arrived a stunning concourse ot dusky vi eil ors. Deeming punctuality a virtue too much ne? glected, they had determined not to fol? low the example of fashionable whites and drop m scatteringly, but to pounce upon the amiable Secretary in a body, after the manner of a surprise party. Mr. Browning may have been somewhat sur? prised at the Bizeof the multitude that appear? ed. He probably was, but he received them with marked politeness, and, together with his wife, went through the ceremony of a vigorous band-shaking. At this stage of the proceed? ings, another departure from established pre? cedents in the matter of receptions occurred. One of the messengers, Mr. Bowen, drew forth a carefully folde 1 paper, and, clearing his throat, road it, after which he handed lt to Mr. Browning. The address had at least one merit-it was commendably brief. Here it is, precisely as written and spoken : "Hon. ?Secretary Browning-Sm We, the colored employees in the United States Patent Office, should not accept of tho invitation ?ou have been pleased to extend to us in tho unible position we have held under your ad? ministration of the Interior Department with? out expressing to yeu our gratitude toward our race, from the fact that it is without a precedent of an American statesmen, which will be loug remembered by us. Therefore we wish you and your family a long and happy life." At the conclusion of this address, Mr. Brown? ing replied by thanking them for their good wishes. He was elad to see so many of his faithful messengers around him. He had always found thom zealous and trustworthy, and whorevoi- it might be his lot to dwell, ho would r- member them kindly. A bright future was opening before them, in which many of their race would rise to dignity and honor; but their success rested mainly with themselves. The efforts of white men. friends lo their race, would avail but little, unloss they too worded their way to the wiehed-for goal with honesty, integrity and the faithful prac? tice of every virtue. He warned them to be? ware of designing demagogues, who professed friendship for tho colored niau only to betray him, and assured them that, whatever may he said to the contrary, there could not ba in any section ot the country warmor or more dis? interested tri? nda to the colored race than tho intelligent classes of the South. They should not pin their political faith to any particular porty in the belief that their fricuda can only be lound in that party alone, but should study the institutions and laws of their country in connection with iheir own welfare, and choose for themselves. The speeoh-makinsr ended, tho Secretary invited thom into an adjoining room; where* a table was spread with a bounte? ous supply of refreshments, to which they de? voted their attentions with most praiseworthy zeal. To the colorod employees of the Interior Department this was an epoch, and, judging from the gre it gleo with which they discuss the momentous events of last Saturday, they will serve as an absorb'up; theme for months to come. AEFAIUS IN THE STATE. Chester. The Beporter commends the action of tho L?gislature in abolishing thc death penalty except in murder cases. W. W. Starr, Esq., of Chester, has been re? moved by Governor Soott from his position as magistrate, and Dr. Eli Cornwell has been ap? pointed in his stead. The following property was sold in Chester Itv the sheriff on the 1st instant, at the annex? ed prices : Tract of land, 180 acres, sold for $1876-Boyd vs. Sterling. Defendant's interest in 400 acres ot land, sold for $100-Cowsar vs. T. Howze. One tract of 108 acras, sold by or? der of the Judge of Probato, for $7 per acre. One other tract of 103 acres, more or less, sold by order of Judge of Probate for $80. The court in Chester continued its sitting till Saturday afternoon, and not baying at that time completed the business of the term, his Honor Judge Thomas adjourned the court till the fourth Monday in February. This waa made necessary by the fact that the Judge has to hold tue regular term for Lancaster County this week, and that ho will probably continue there till he finishes up the dockets. Greenville. Governor Scott has appointed Rsv. James M. Bunion, o' Granville County, a Notary Public. Sixty students have already entered tho Col? legiate Department of Furman University. Dr. Nathaniel clark and Dr. Randall Croft, both o d icsitlonta of Oroanville, died within the last week.

THI OUR PHOSPHATBS.-The New York Evouing Poet bas an editorial account of tho large deposit of mineral phosphate on the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, just above Charleston, which says: It is not unreasonablo to expec t that, just ss ships from every part of the civilised world have flocked to the Chincha Islands in search of Peruvian gt.ano, so will they before long crowd the wnsrvss of Charleston in quent of that element of guano found there which has tho most lasting value. This long-bidden source of wealth oannot fail to. draw to this now forsaken port the enterprise and capital necessary for its regeneration, and for tho es? tablishment of permanent prosperity. A com? pany in Charleston, which is now engaged in the propavation of a fertilizer of winch thoso phosphates Are the chief constituent, find a ready market at $60 per ton for this pro? duct. Tho cost of a ton of two thousand pounds, as they proparo it, is thus divid? ed: Four I ?en hundred pounds crude phos? phate, $5 60; four hundred pounds sulphuric acid, $12; two hundred pound? ground animal refuse, $1 50-total cost of material, $19 10. Tho cont of manipulation may carry the entire outlay to $25, whioh loaves a very wide margin for an inoreaBO in thc cost ot tue phosphate, lither superpbospbato of limo must become much obeaper, in oonsequonoo of this discove? ry, or tbe owners of tho phosphate lands must become rapidly rich, for it is impossible that eo largo a profit as $85 por ton can long be made in a manufacturo in which there is no monopoly. WHAT ROYALTY COSTS_Somebody has takon the trouble to count up the various sums which Victoria and her family annually draw for their personal use from tho people of England. Here are bis figures: Queen Victoria's Privy Purse.?386,000 Prom the Duchy of Lancaster.. 26,000-?410,000 Trustees of ?ate King Leopold. 17,500 Duchess of Cambridge. 0,000 Duke of Cambridge.?12,000 AB Commander-in-Chief. 6,t01 Colonel of three regiments. 4,600 Banger of four Royal Parks. 8.000- 80,601 Princess Mary of Cambridge. 5,010 Crewn Princess of Prussia. 8,000 Princess AUeo.... 0,000 Pr i nco of Wales.?40,000 From Duchy of Cornwall. 60,000- 100,000 Princess of Wales. 10.000 Dune of Edinburgh. 15,000 Princes < Helena... :. 0,000 Total.?608 001 This is oxclusive of ?1500 paid to the Prince jf Wales as Colonel of tho Tenth Hussars, the ?1000 paid to the Duko of Edinburgh as com? mander in tho navy, and tho rental value of tho irarious royal palaces, all of which, together with tho sums stated above, mako an amount >f between $8.000,000 aud $4 000,000 in gold. No wonder that Queen Victoria lays by several iiundrod thousand dollars every year, and now las a private fortune of nearly $10 000,000. Louis Napoleon, according "to tho same au? thority, costa Franco $12,000,000 annually for iis private expenses, and is heavily in debt besides. Commercial. Kxports.
