Douglas Reception at Washington.

A Washington letter writer says: Notwithstanding all the preparations to receive Senator Douglas, less than two hundred persons, and those mostly Irishmen, honored his arrival at home. He made a short speech from his doorsteps, the substance of which was his customary slang about sectionalism and fanaticism.
