.~ WASHINGTON. The COase of Senator Oaldwell. Stand Taken by Sena- ‘The Noble ’ tor Morton. Beonator Conkling and Other De~ fonders of Caldwell. From Our Oten Correspondent, WasHINGTON, March 24, 1873, OLIVER P. MORTON, For the first time in my lifo, I mot and shook thands with Sountor Morton yostorday. 1 Forsomo timo, I have not had that faith fu stim whiol Lis talont and foreo have commanded {from many thousands of people, But I was ,nuver able to oo iew ono with his manifest pov- jory, and as manifeat powor, could got the con- euro of anybody, Ho was tho nuthor of the Ku- XKlux resolution, which appoared to bo a despotio ithing; but, when I passed through the Bouth Inst Novomber, and talked to the Ku-Klux,knes 40 knco, and heaxd boya coufess to . having mur- I¢erod womon nnd husbands, I folt that, if thoso “barbarous Stato govarnmonts on which so much ‘admiration has boon expouded could not protect tho humble, the poor, and tho unarmed, then {‘m).mps it wns 2 vital mnttor for a Souator of the nited Btates to OHAMPION TNE CAUSE of such dofoncoless pooplo, Soon after the last campaign, whon Mr. Morton was ro-olocted to his soat, Lo catno to Wasbington with all person- slities and Fuflticn‘ enmitios dismissed, and in 2nyor of the fullest harmony amongat peoplo who reully loved tho Republio. “At this intimation I Tooked askant, haviig no groat feih in profos- sions ; but, all tho time, Morton was rocommend- ing himgelf to the beat obsorvers in Washing- ‘ton, as I found on consultation, Finally, tho Caldywell caso enma up, and his attitude on that score was bold, broad, nnd oncouray lng. A man 18 good enuugl\ for mo who does his duty in an ennobliug way, 80 that tho country can sce in *him its bont ideal oxpressed. As I heard the spoochos on the Coldwoll caso from Sonator orton’s lips, while ho sat thero numb ia the extremitios, but in tho Liead cloar, conecious, and vigorous, 1 folt that, all things’ cousidered, ho .wag ono of tho strongost charactors in the ‘Sonato. TO TAKE POSITION, as Morton did, against Caldwell, required somo mental and moral conrago; for the Senate is such n littls Lody that fellowship provails init sy in a fomale™ sominary. A big conspirncy guthered posund Caldwell for his sup- port, led by Bimon Cameron, whoso throo_ cavalry majors woro Matt Carpen- tor, Ros Conkling, and John Logan, Simon Camoron has outlived all tho possibilities of vin- dication, oxcept in tho line of porsonal leynlt{. +Ho is tho apostlo of that misorable morality *which will support what is termed . 4 FRIEND,” 10 mattor vided enly that tho friend retywns the said \oy- alty to tho extont.of supporting any wickoduess In tho Bonatos. If this kind of moasiity is to provail in publio life, what safoty will tho cons etituont have? Public duty E not to be mens- ured upon tho sealo of matrjifionial attachrzent ; and no worss code can be sot to o great public body than mero friendly inclination. When I hoar of a man in tho Sonate standing by his frionds in il cages, I turn insonsibly to the man who is standing' by his +country, Iwould not wnderrate Bimon Cam- .oron ; for he ns great tenacity, some gontle- noes, ond porhaps, aceording to his lights, ho is highly rogardful of freedom ond the country. As to John Logan, ho has been o soldier of tho Republic, and that ought to bo ono of the great- cat tests of patriotism. As to Mr. Carpenter, ho Lasa geniol naturo, much {hlent, and a fina Bonse of followship, But thoso porsonal qual- “ities fado out of notice whon tho preciso tosts coma t0 be applied toan American Sonator. WIAT WAS THERE in Caldwoll to attract the dovotion and inspire | the dofense of e¢pable men? here has boogy, wondering rich; for hLe "has mno sgomement of himself, ng gjnbuity, no xnervo,—nothing but s kind of rustlo indopend- ..once, It Caldwell got rich in Konsas legiti- mately, lot us all go to Kansas, no_mattor what * our porsonal impressions of oursclves may bel To geo at tho right hand of this poor little coun- try-trader - TIHE GREAT, POMATUMED Rogcos Conlding steod, was a good ded like sooing & gorgeous chomberlain or usher in at- tendance upon an effominate Prince of Hanovor, , or Btuart, or Capot. Inm the speechos of thess mon there was no good, stxong sonso to rospond to & touchstone, There wore many words, much vernacular, and a good doal of tho Yocho of logal phrascology; but tho touoh- + atono demanded only one responso, and that to ithis question: “Is tho man fit, by rigkt ‘of elsction, to be an American genator ¢ ” He- ,eponaive to that quostion, shortly and uriaplz; and judged by such a test, what sonso la; . Carpentor’s fanfaronade, Logan’s ghastly pathos, * ar Conkling's fireworks-loro ? 1 The poor littlo dovil took himsolf out of the way, notwithstanding these huge defenses; and Mr.' Roscoe Conkling, baving insulted Mr. Hehurz, and felt of his own log with that won~ dorfully red-headed loolk that he has when nd-~ miring himsalf, {8 abandoned by hig victim and subject, atid tho bottom dropa out of the bucket. TROBCOD might bo depicted by s caricaturist of the pros- ent timo ay tmuuportkifg & bottomless swill~ bucket, laboled ** Caldwell,” Thero {s probably no such friendless porson in Waahington City ‘as Roscos Conkling, Some timo ago I was talking to Senator Anthony,—a ll:mdlydmnn. whom Iam compglled to liko,—and e 80id ; _‘*Mr. Whitelaw Reid can never stay in, tho New York Tribung and be acceptable to the Re- B;:b]n:nn party.

When the Culdwell dobata came up, MORTON AND CONKLING fell into antagonistic positiona. Morton's posi- tion was taken like s statesman. He saw that thoe Senato, undor existing practices, was losing tha respect of tha country, and that s stop mus be puttothe corrupt practices of Senatorial eloctions, Caldwell's coso was eminontly fit to make the application ; for Caldwell was of such s naturo that degradation could not much degrada him, nor vindication much vindicato him, Nature soomed to Liave selectod this poorlittle follow 1 : A CONVENIENT INSTANCE to be made & Benatorinl examplo of. Had the nerson to be degraded sorved his country in the \Var, or shown af gallant figure, or brought with aim any of those human teatimonials which give soncideration, & chivalrio man like Morton mfghfi bave hesitated. X conceive that Powell Clayton 18 & porson whom a ?vonmmnn might dislike'to rosecute tocorruption, because Clayton was a rave soldier and I & gamo carpot-bagger. But COaldwell Is E ady £ A LITTLE RANSAS NIOI MAN,— nothing more. Mr. Morton solooted him as the legitimato carcass with which to make n_minsile {or the other buzzards of the Sonate, The mo- tives which he had, sa I have ascertained, wero ofthe largs characfor which I hayeoutlined, Mr, Conkling took the other position, from the small motive of personal ambition, o acquired the idoa in tho last campaign that {t was an easy thing to disposo of what ia called recaloitrantsy and that, provided one stuck to tho Fnrty. no matter how ruflianly its procosscs might becomo, he was gure of the buccossion in some manner. Mr, Conkling was nover moro mistaken in hig life, 'The newspapera which advocated Ilorace Gzeoley have more circulation and hoaring to-da; than ovor, Many of us who wont to Olucinnati bad no notlon of taking Mr, Greoclsy for our candidate; but the obligation of ~ personal Lonor, the suporiority of tho candidate over mybndgwhum the rogulars would be likely to name, and our own sonso of solf-rospeot, lod us to give that unfortuuate gontloman the sup- port of which we aro proud, and of which bia. tory will make the gentlost and the most hand- some mention, Thera was NOT A OLOD which fell npon tho old man's cofin that could bo uamed toscoe Conkling. ‘That which best M, Greoley with Gen, Grant black tho charactes may be, pro- . was boyond tho control of nominating conven. tlons, ablo writors and aponlors, or ordinary or exiraordinary humau Instrumontalitica. 111-. Grogloy wan boaten by tho grioyous dependonce of tho country upon the evile which tho War had boquonthod, “such as o. robbing tarim, an ungound cnrmnc{ o vast machinory of tazation, aud tholustbllity of values, “Nothing is #0 c‘uvmrdlg aa balf ‘a mililon, excopt n million,” a8 Honator Bprague anl(f,—muullng thn, when & mon noquires muything'in tho way or proporly, ho bocomes dopendent upon tha stability of “tho valuo of that proporty. Thers aro timoes whon nations submit to wholoanle corruption ag preforablo toa chango of palloy which would make more loss than grent oorrap- tlon would involvo, Mr. Grooloy had & cdriain rocklossnoss of aurgory about him which wonld amputato disensed parts without roasonig upon the gonoral honlth, He waas boaton by tho timldity of tho business-interests of tho nation, But Roscoo Conkling thought that Groeloy'ade- foat wasthe averlasting anmnation of journnlists, aud overybody who ' WOULD NOT DOW TIHE RNEE TO OAUCUA, Ho formad a lowor ostimate of his countrymen than tho boaten partianns of Mr, Groeley, who roturnod to tho work of sorving their country, without rosentment and with no uncharitablo. noss, Mr. Conkling presumed thnt hio could look at hin logs and walk straight into tho Prosi- donoy in 1876, Mr. Morton, who is o statesman, a8 his romarkablo administration of both In- dinna and Kentucky showaed, during the War, mado up his mind that, if ho was to roapect him- solf and his follow-Sonators, he muat make corruption_odious. Honoo, Morton mado his roport, and doliverod his spogch in favor of vncn!lni Caldwell's aplnco. Without thinking, without no\vlng, gl:xl ed by blind sm- bition, Conkling at once tock the other course, oxpocting to read a rival out of the raca for the Prosidenoy. No groator complimont could be thl to tho solid ability and oxecntive vigor of orton than tho EXTENY OF TIE CONSPIRACY which nasembled to defont bim, Thoro was (hat untiring worker, Cameron. Thore was the josu- itical and respoctablo legal columbiad, John Scott,—whom somo think to be the bost lawyer in the Benate, and carmaii‘ndh-gly inforior 88 a statosman. ‘There was Anthony, of Rhodo Isl: and, a mighty consumer of early shad and of oanvas-backe, and, of courso, with onormous bowels of sompassion. 'Thoroiore infirm Demp- crata, likd Btockton and Dayard, who arguo in favor of State rights, bocauso thoy concolve the cntiro Stato to ba their porsonal selvea. Thora was Wright, of Tows, who wished to save Cald woll to consiatently eave Clayton, Thoro was Howe, of Wisconsin, whose juilgment is of no consequbnce, but whoso rufiactnhmty is mn or- namont to the firmament as he is dofined against it. X forgot how many moro onterod into the ar- rangontont to eave Caldwell, but they wore a yory scared 1ot whon they knew that the great, ?lnek, emithy faco of BMorton was in pursuit of om. I did not beliove that Morton would make his [mlnt, becauso, in tho congregation of smnll par- iclos, you con sometimos dust out the oyes of a ginnt, “The moral stmosphore which provatled overthe Capitol was dark and heavy, in view of tho probability of corruption being solemnly dofined by tho Benate s outaide of ita respon- sibilities, But Morton is a man who KINDLES AND ENLATGES by opposition, when aware that his caunse is legitimato sud popular. - Not all tho outsido but- ton-holing of Cameron, nor the froth of Conlk- ling, made hendwayngainst his dotormined spirit, Ho had prepared o ::lmain%l spoech to ovorwhelm Coldwell; ‘and, from what I haxo hesrd of tho contents of that spocch, I - pro- sumo that, bad Lo delivered it, it would have ?und his reputation abroad ns ono of tho most determinod moral roformers of hia timo. Awaro of tho calamitics impending in that speach, little Caldwell, who preservos this ro- deeming quality, that Lo can feel o littlo, Liastily doliverod his rosignation to the Govornor of the- Btato, and disappeared like a will-0™tho-wisp, e would have raceived every vote of the people who have been corruptly olected to the Sennto 3 and you can imagine how many there can be of this class whon Sonator Anthony exprosses the opinjon that no porson hns beon fairly elected from any of tho Sonthern States, excepting from Vi{glnln u:dhl(enlucllly. t was at tho conclusign of tho Caldwoll case that I met ‘? 4 BENATOR BORTOX. An assooiate of his at sthool, who s a Domo- crat, introduced me; and he told mo that, when & dohool-follow, Morton waa o kindly, studious, inflyential boy. To him belongs tho chiof honor of this defense of the American Sonate, aud with him must bo assoclated Lot and Justin Mor- rill, Benators Buckingham and Ferry, of Gonnoc- ticut, Benator Feunton (who, in m{ fudgmont, has lod a blamoless lite in tho Senato), Sonator Thurman, Benator Norwood, of Goorgia, and Benator Schurz. I think thero is no porson in thia Inttor list which I have mado who is not en- titlod to tho conalderation of tho country. Benator Morton, with his fireu enorgios, olear sagacity, and adaptability,andeolid acquiroments, can bo one of the loading spirits of our period, i ho continues to romedy, and lighten, and har- monize affairs as he has been recently doing. Ho can nssist to make GEN. GRANT'S OLOSING TERA usefal and illustrious ; and, so far from factious opposition, the ‘journals who opposcd Gen. Grant's second eloction will probably assist with gladness in redesming the country from its moral misfortunes, regardless of what "blography is to bo penefited. ~We havo novor had a Presi- dent for whom the times wore moro auspicious than Prosident Grant, Ho hos nearly fouryears beforo him of such ropose and ssourity as rulers seldom possese, Nothing in his late addresa was more touching than the admission of the fact that sometimes his mental labor and rosponsi- Lility wore more than ha could bear. e all know what overwork {s, and, if the Presidont must Iabor like the reat of us, ho belongs to our bratherhood. For mysolf, who am abont closing up five yoars of continuous residonce here, I can truly eay that nothing is moro depressing to mo than commont, animadyersion, and attack upon pub- lic omc!nfn. and mon in the National Legisla- ture. But wo cannot gscape tho nows, the oo- currencos, THE FACTS. Public morals in America aro as bad ss the oan well bo. Wo iwve a noble country, whicl Proyidonce hns charged with all ite bountios and opulence. The olomonts which made up the country were of the most admirable on the ourth. - Our system of government is the most natural, the most just, and the most encouraging, on tho globo, To resfat the undermining of it, to challengo those who oncronch upon it, like a sentinel (ofton exceoding my duty and comfort, and ofton undor the sorest temptation from plunderers, amiable conepirators, and people with gorgeous achomes), haye beon my duty and my pains, Whon mon like Morton rosumo thoir responsibility, and reliove mere wrilers of thoso roui;h tasks, lot them bo encouraged by the full applause of the country.

Then it {a & good show, to which everybody is odmftted freo. From tho gallerios, 200 strango physioguomlos can bo watched in thelr varging ‘moods, aachangoablo as alaleidoacopo. Bpeeches for whioh lawyers would charge from 85 to §500, in a crimlnal court, aro poured out as a gratui- tous diffusion of knowledgo. Information, agri- oultural, horticultural, scientific, historical, geo- graphical, goological, logal, arithmotical, geo- ‘motrical,—valuablo and worthless, good, bad, and indifferont,—{s squandored .by thoso gonerous men with reckless protusion, 0ld jokesrevamped aro sewed up na now. There is oloquenco, pootic and patriotio; odd gestures, that would bring n smile to tho }ips of & mummy; sonso, nonacnso, fan, frolfo, stuff, and statosmanshlp,—¢ every- thing by starts, and nothing long ;" and all to bo seen at tho extromely low charge of nothing. "Evory one is a dead-head to the Stato show. It is olicapor than a circus, where the performance 18 froquontly not Lislf as amusing. Fact. ” The Legislativo theatre Las boon in mession threo months, 'Thers have boon almost 100 por- formances in succossion, -and 204 individual actors, Some of them havo taken first parts, gomo socond parts; somo have been, in theate rical parlanco, *supes.” Thero are fow *star” actors among them. It would be a labor of love to notico each and every ono ; but thoy are too many, and tho ronder must bo entiafied with o glimpse of thoso who capored most conspie- uously. Hero thoy aro: TOE PRESIDENT OF THE BENATE oceuples tho seat of honor, and is the “obeerved of all observers ¥ who enter the doors of the Sonnto. Ho is boarded like a brush, and has an honost palr of oyos in a well-favored coun- tonance.

HOME BENATORS, Baldwin, of LaSallo, is venorablo gontleman, with an sbiding intorost In ogricultural and odut cationnl subjocts, Ho is no orator, and very sonsibly refraing from trying to Lo ono. DROOKS, OF WILL, - s o old youngstor, with a round facs, ns frosh 88 a baby's; & man who nover made- a spoach, but sits nd thinks all tho thmo. of tho Tinois Rivar, and tho Ponitentiary. These are Lis hob- bies, partionlarly the river. Ho devotod him- self this session to worrying the river appropri- ation through the Senate. Whon s man congpn~ tratos his strength on a particular measure, he can help it immensoly, Thero was not a Lappior mortal on earth than Mr. Brooke when tho bill paseod. DROWXN, OF MORGAN, is o diminutivo blonde, » good lawyer, who can talk-well it he likos, but seldom docs. Ho i3 the roprosentative of the Jacksonville institutions, Members from that district are sont here to so- cure appropriationa, If they get apilo of monoy, thoy stand a show of going to Congress; but, it they don't, thoy dio n political death. TURNS, OF ADAMS, 18 a kooun-looking customer, s self-made man, of wonlth and common sensie, Chairman of the Rev- enuo Committee, and the devoted sorvant of the protty oity of Quincy. ¥ GANFIELD hails from Kane, immed.lutel{ from Aurora, which ho osteoms tho pride of Illinoia. Porhaps ho roprosents Aurora too persistently, to the dis- advantage of other placos, and is apt o estimate legislation hg ita offect on' that swoot town. Ho wears » mustache aud goatee, has an intolligent Kl:yalngnnmy and talks with fire when roused. Iawyor, he ranka with the beat in the Sen- oto. Ho suffers from minority roprosentation, to which he is bitterly opposed, and is said to eoxpatiate in hia sleep agalnst it, . OASEY, OF JEFFEREON, 18 in the Benate by horeditary right, his fathor Laving boon there beforo him. Tho Casoy family are well-known and highly-esteemed in Southern Illinois. Thoy have boon in publio life for haif a century,~—the ancostor, with the instinot for litica natural to am Irishman, having set tho y8 an oxample they have cheerfully followed. A ‘Gonoral Assembly without a Casoy in some shapo or othor sooms to be impossiblo in Il nois, The cnmlufaynnnflon of Casoys will furnish successors to the presont. Mr. Thomaus B, Casey was iu tho last Honso, and his brother, Newton R., from Mouud Qity, is in this House, and wag in that of 180, “The Benator is ro- garded a8 au excollonb Iawyer, He is & fino spoaker, apd a fine fellow on gonoral principles. CASTLY, OF DE EALD, ism Xluunnbnppnuflng man, who doos not look o demagoguo a bl bub had lett himaclt opon to that imputation by the exceodingly foolish lottor he wrote ou the subject of the Supremo Oourt, of which ho knows mnothing.

Castlo, The B. atands for * Blarney" Caatle, ho hag beon blarnoying the farmors so, Thot i not the way to Congress, Mr, Castlo} you oan't get thers by that route. The vory mon to whom you inditod your Communistio apistle will begin to think™ it over, and concluda you were hasty and univise, and thoy won't bs disposed to trust Yau in Congress. Mr. Castla is & vory nice gontlemsn in his porsonal rela~ ons. A OUMMINGS, OF FULTON, sorved in the last House, and was promoted, probably, for good conduct. He used to talk too moh in his younger daye, 2 the_Constitutional debatos testify ; butho is growing older, and ‘maintains tho Sonatorial dignity, and the cor- rosponding gravity andieilonce, Tto doos * howl " onos in'a while now, but is moro conciso than of rore, and, by tho time he reaches Cougress, will invo very liftle to asy. Ho ia a man of sense on most subjects, catholic in his views somotimos, and gonerally a good Senator. DONAUUE, OF DE WITT, 18 » doscendant of Irish Kings, though he first obgorved the sun in this Ropublic. Heis a small man, with & round head, and & scanty beard ; i o atudious Inwyer, n_fluent speaker, and, if ho takos care of himself, & *‘ coming man" in lis soction, He is Chalrman of the Hailroad Com- mitteo, whore, 80 far, ho has acquitied himsolf with credic, DO, OF COOK, has a head lko a lon, with ntwn@s fentures, al- 'mont lost In his magnificent coal-black beard, the admiration of the fair and the envy of the un- fair sex, Hia ability aa a lawyer is mcx:ignlzml. He has & magnetio presence, is an abla dobater, and aitends consclentiously to his Senatorlal dution. HAMPTON, OF M'DONOUAI, Isin hig socona term in the Benate. Ie is s big, honest fellow, and watches stoals, smelling them at a distance, with » nose of wondorful sagacity. UINCIICLIVFE, OF BT, OLAID, the represcntative of the warkin§mnn, olaims to bo that and nothing else, For that reason he makos speschos S‘-llla talks woll) that sound doma- gogical, but in which, perhaps, he belleves, KEUOE, OF 000K, makes puns. A'GRATH, OF COOK, 16 o8 sharp and shrewd ag Noynolds, He Is & man of moat unforglving disposition, and will sncriflcs anything to socure & swoot morsol of revenge. o hlfin to the point whonover ho enys anytbing, which is not often. He belioves Ohioago billa should be considored on their mor- its, and saks no fayors, - : LEE, OF PEORIA, roso from the Houss, snd has not doteriorated in tho riso.

Roally ho is not lm]-lcaklnfi, rathor otherwlse; some say ho is handsomo, mufh that Is an opon quostion. Boing in a stale of insulatod bllas, he contrib- ulos oot of his timo aud all Lin laloits to the entortainmont of the fair visllors who honor the Bonate by llstoning to wpeeches on trover, omi nont domain, and othoer exhilarating topios, - AMr, Roynolds knows There's othing Lialf 5o sweot in life Love's young dresm, ‘This quotatfon f ontfrely noew. It may bo usoful. HANDFORD, OF INOX, . ropresents ono. nldu—-\vl.\}oh, is no matter—of the county-sent squabblo. He iaa slow, solid lowe yor, and would mako n ateady Judge, SUELDON, OF OMAMPAIGH, roprosonts tho Industrial University, and, until Lis approprintion Is “out of the woods,” won's opon his hond ou anything eleo, atraid of making onomios, It is the hardest lot on carth for n pub- liomon to ropresent s publio fnatftution. It ruing his indepondence, and limits his scopo. BIIORT, OF VEBMILION, won no little roputation in tho Houso, lnst sos- sion, as Chairman of tho Rovenue Committeo. Ho fought liko o rofan ta invo tho child of i creation, bus it waa_torn limb from limb, dislo- cnted, destroyed. Mr. Bhort is Oaptain of tho Financo Committes,—n position for which he iy ?unlmod by tasto and training. He hns o slim lorm, and cloan-cut fontwres ; sponks directly to tho point, avd, moro than all, stop. knows whon to STEANE, OF SANGAMON, an old hand at the leglulative bLallows, I8 es- toomod os o square and sensible man, BTEELE, OF COLES, stands high among his colluu[;uun. Ho. hag quite a reputation a3 a oriminal advocate, won by lila * power of jaw,” which is not inconsfdorn- ble.. Ho speska forcibly, and can throw in nthos that would molt tho hoart of & Bheriff, ivo him & widow and five orphons, ond he wiil bring toars to tho eyes of a potato. Mr, Steols i8 & man of largo viows, but occasionally too oconfiding,—ne, for inatance, when, to oblige o {riond, e placed himeolf in a falso poaition by moving to recommit the Lako-Front Repealing Dill to tho Judiciary Commitiea, He wasin favor of tho Lill, but his motion and motive woro misconstrued. STRONG, OF LIVINGET-N, is physleally most properly pamed, being Iargo, “portly, handsome man, decorated by a black moustacho, topped off with a Roman nose. TUOMPEON, OF GOOK, {8 ono of tho foromost mon in tho Benate, Dow and ho are, by long odde. the ableat and most sccoraplished of the Cook County ropresenta~ tivos {n cithor Houso, Thompson, boneath a sophomoric surface, i8_vory much of a man, Looking at him, tho observer would not suspect that ho was tho hoto of u brilliant military achiovomont in the Army of tho Potomaa during tho War, nor that he could speslk cogontly, clearly, and logically. 3 UPTON, OF LARK, {a a man of “sovore and formal ” aspeot, with o square-featured, cloan-shaven countonancoe. He is :Pukun of as a possiblo candidate for Cirenit udgo {n bis district. Ho can talk, but seldom does. Most of hia timo is occupied in commit- oo, poring over the chaptora of rovised statutes, His heart {8 nearly broken over the businees, as hio Lins to do nearfy all tho work himself. VoR1s is from Shelby ; that's all, WHITING, OF DUREAT, is doservodly respected for his honosty and ability, Ho{a o farmer, of Qualter oxterior,and devotes hiu attontion to tho rnilroad question, taking. advancod positions on all its phases, He is perhaps moro sincere than thoso who take thair cuo from him. He is shining light in tho Farmors' Club, and woll vorgod in all agrioul- tural subjects. WILLIAMEON, OF COOK ropresents the conntry distriot, and watohos that Chicngo shall not inyade his bailiwick. He speaks in an apologetic strain, bogging tho par- on of tho Presidont, of the man who Iaat spoko, of the Bonate, and of his countrymon, beforo he gota ot what o wunts fo sy ; bit, whon at last 0 arrives at his objective point, he expresses his notions ulour!fi 3 and, aftor npolaglziug DFM“ to everybody for having ocoupied so much time, hia chair recoiven his corpulont framo onco moro. Ho has hnd charge of warchouso mattera i the Henato; = bul Lhy ° Cummitivn has accomplished nothing of value 80 far, not because Mr. Williamson was not willing, but that tho Committoo wore too many for him, NICHOLSON, OF LOGAN, has been hers ofton, and hing suffored nothing in charactor. Ho s a voiceloss gontleman, unloss ho socs a awindle, when indignation overcomes modoaty, and the first thing ho knows he is on his legs, pitching into it. WAITE, OF COOK, is from the North Side. ~ o is a )&ninsmking, industrious lawyer, and labors hard in conven- tion, Ho is moro in lis elomont in_the Sonato than when in the House last yoar, He delivered funeral speeches in the Houso,—n style of ora- tory botter adapted to tho Henato, whore solem- nity sometimos approaching somnolonce is ~ supposod to bo appropriato. Mr. Waito i bolieved o asplre to Congross, and Is, thorefore, in mortal dread of bin constituents. He lacka boldnoss and cour- ago. His mind is in a chronicstato of aboy- anco that is sometimes pitiful. Congress is blamo. Porsonally, Mr. Walte is a vory propor gentloman, piounty diaposod, though ho does not vota for liquor laws. YAGER, OF MADISON, a Gorman by oxtractlon, improves on acquaint- anoo, and s a usoful Sonator. YOUNGDLOOD, OF FRANKLIN, is an oxcellent upeaker, and has a futiro beforo him, if ho lives long enongh. g Thoro aro some Senators not named in this roll of fame. They may bo a8 good as those that aro, and, for the muttor of thar, batter. They aro unobtrusive, retiring men, who can felicitato themselves on not having committed deods of logialative iniquity for which they might have beon mentionod and eriticised, Bun, ——— A GAME-COCK AND A RAT. It is possible that the lion and the lamb may lio down together some day, but the following story makes it highly probable that the same tondor affectfon will nover exist botwoen the cock and the rat. Yesterday nftornoon, at the Madison Btrost Polico Station, an ol Amo- cock, which had been cuptured in araidon a cock-pit on Baturdsy, waa quietly eating his din- nor from o plate, Whon a rat camo forih from ono of the many holos, and orept stealthily toward him, Y'ho old gamoster paid no ntten- tiou to the conspirator, and pormttod him to nostlo undor tho edge of the plato withont disturbing him. Tho rat grew bold, and, roaching up, began to mnibbles crust of bread. Tho firat nibble had not boon swallowed whon the cook implanted onc of his spura doop in the rat's back. ‘The rat jumped sway from tho mas— tor of tho fonst, and drow itself slowly inits hole, loaying bobiud a truil of blood, Tho afftuy was geon by Mr, Vosey, the station-koepor, who did uot_arrest tho cack, bolioving the blow was struck in gelf-defonso. % —— PERSONAL.
