Washington, Feb. 27.-Representative C. F. Sprague, of Massachusetts, will give a dinner tonight in place of the one for which invitations were recently withdrawn, because of an unseemly wrangle over the impending presence of Representative George H. White, of North Carolina, the only negro member of the House. The dinner was originally arranged in honor of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and to meet them Mr. Sprague invited with others his colleagues on the District Committee, among whom was Mr. White. Those who objected to the colored gentleman are not invited this time.
