Speciat Dispatch to Tie Tribune. % CoLumeus, 0., March 10.—In the Scnatorial fleld there is no apparent change in the situa- tion to-night. In the carly part of the day a canvass was made which secmed to place Gen. Garfield ahead, but later in the day and to- night there {s no reason to doubt that the Hon. Stanley Matthews is bolding bis own, and with 1be best chance of success. His friends are very sctive among members, and even go to the peo- ple and gppeal to them to instruct their Kepre- sentatives to vote for Matthews. It is under- stood that Speaker Grosvenor, of the House, is committed to Matthews, antl working hard for Mg sucress. Gov. Young is reported as PAVORING MATTUEWS, Garfield seemed quite confideat, but the majori- tythey claim is made up somewhat from the nen-committal members, who will not at this time make known their choice. Garfield’s friends assume that this class are surely for him, but it is extremely doubtfal. It is under- stood that Deacon Richard -Emith, of tae Cin- cinnat! Gazette, §s working for Garficld from the Washington end of the line. Shellabarger shows_somic considerable strength, but not enoughas yet to make him a very formidable upponent to Matthews or Garficld. Ben Wade his been brought forward, but this move s RVIDENTLY A BLIND which may result favorably to Garfield. Ex-Atty.-Gen. Taft will doubtless receivesa few votes, and, should it be found that Mat- 1bews cantiot be elected, the vote will be given to Taft. Jt grows more cvident tnat the fight will be strong and exciting. Matthews' sup- rters will not readily give up the contest. Hiley are of the stubbora kind, aad will surren- der only when all hope has fled.

A Resume of Tkis Branch of Industry-— Its Merits and Abuses. And Interesting Facts Concerning the Same, ) Almost the first thing that distineuishes the civilized man from the savage is his desire to build sud decorate a home. From gorgeous palaces to humble cottages, this passion devel- ops itself, and It has come to be a special point that outward embellfshment shall keep pace with internal adornment. It is considered not enough that men’s houses shall have all mode_m in-door comforts, but a commendable pride likewise determines that the exterior shall evince a like taste and attractiveness. There is no ringle braach of work or bustness which bears so intimate & relation to this subject as painting.. And by this we signify especially the trade of house-painting, of which and its kindred Industrics we make brief mention. Wiule itistrue that a very large legitimate ‘business has grown out of this necessity of out- door aud {n-door decoration, it is likewise true that disrcputable and irrcsponsivle men have taken occasion to perpetrate outrageous frauds upun those who have placed confidence in them. Take housc-paiuting, for instance, and the evils and swindles of irresponsitle men who sometimes engage in the business is well nigh unbearable. These men will make bids on a job at less than the cost of good stock, then secure an advance payment, and either lenve the job half finished or use such villainous compounds in doing it that it were beiter they had never touched it. Houses in this city have been coated over (they called it painting) with & combination of sods, flour, and just a little white lead. Of course such a mixture comes off in & few months, and the man who was ** beat ™ has no recourse. In addition to house-painting, the art of sign-writiug has been brougat to pos- itive perfection. A gentleman who has visited every important city in the country remarked in our heariog, not long eince, that™ the business houses and offices of Chicago showed a more artistic and elegant display -of sign-painting than any other city on the continent.” This was 10 doubt a desersed compliment.

Map1s0s, Wis, Muarch 10.—The Madison Daily Democrat bas a savage article on Milwau- kee this morning. After giving the business- - X men Jesse for their narrow-minded policy and their Jealousy of otaer cities of the State, and stating that a person can buy anything from a shoe-peg; to & stenm-engine in Chicago from 15 t0 40 per cent cheaper than in Milwaukee, and showing up the dark ways that Milwaukee mer- chants indulge in to secure trade, one trick be- ing to peddle Chicago samples and then send inferior goods, the editorial winds up with a grave charge “against @ number of prominent Milwaukes Democrats, in suvetance toat after the War Convention in Milwaukee a club was formed for the purpose of distributing Tilden patronage. in this State, and a fluming leiter-head zot out adorned with a President, ‘Sccretars, Trensurer, and Execa- tive Comnmittee. Tms was sent to prominent Democrats throughout the State, stating that for thelr eminence they had been selected to be- come members of the Club, the fee for which would be $10. The ostensible purpose was to secure a tund for campaign ~ purposes in the fature, but the real purpose was that Democrats recelving these let- ters would naturally assume at once that tnis was the grand liead-ceutre of the Wis- consin Democracy, and to secure any appoint- ment or political 1avor it would be incumbent upon the party receiving a letter to forward the assessment and get foside the Ring. It was supposed that from 5,000 to 10.000 Democrats would respond to this letter, and the managers would secure from §50,000 to $100,000 in this way. To the good fortune of the country Democrats, however, the High Joints voted eight to scven a little 100 soon, and those who had not eent in their little stake “smelt a mice,”” and concluded to reserve it for future use.

B & 5 A REGULATING RATES. \ On the 1st of January the manngers of the Eastern trunk lines adopted a tariff for East- bound freight, making the rate from Chicago to New York 35 cents on grain ana 40 cents on fourth class. The rates from other points in the - West were to be based on these figures. While the Chicago roads have adhered rigidly to this tariff, the South- western ronds leading to Indianapolis and To- ledo, and those leading East from $t. Louis, have not compli=d with It, but made lower rates in proportion than those charged from Chicago. The managers of the Chicago roads, not willing to have their business diverted to other points, notified the managers of the trunk lines that ' unless some nction was taken in regard to this matter, and the Southwestern lines comnelled to make thelr rates correspond with those from Chicago, they. would be compelled to make a reduction in or- der to protect their own interest. The mana- gers Of the trunk-lmes sceing that they had to do something In regard to this matter to keep the wen cagro from jumping the track, a.meetiug of General Freight Agents was called to be held in Toledo last Wednesday, The meeting, however, ad- Jjournced to this city and was held at parlor No. 1, Grand Pacific Hotel, yesterday.

M. Gray occupled the cliair, and Mr. G. H, Valliant was the Secretary. The meeting was in session all day, and the tarlffs from the varivus points were compared and discussed at great Iength. They came flnally to the con- clusion that the complaints of the Chicago men were just, and it was decided that all the roads from the West und Southwest should base their rates on those charged 1rom Chicago. A committee was appointed fo make the caler lations according to mileage, and publish regu- lar tariffs from Toledo and _other points based upon the tarif of Jan. 1, which is 35 cents on grain from Chicago to New York. The Esstern lnes agreed to charze all the roads their pro rata on these fig- ures. The rates from Chicago remain the same, but those from Toledo, St, Louis, Detroit, and other Western é\omts will be higher. Iftie Southern lines adhere to_the arrangement, the Chicago roads can be well satisfied with the re- sult of yesterday's meeting. g PEORIA & SPRINGFIELD. Spectal Dispateh to The Tridune.

The present is an era of kindly sentiment, and, as one token of it, we are happy to observe in more than one journal pleasant notices of the late lady of the White-House. Mra. Grant seems to retire from. a position of considerable responsibility with the best wishes of all who kuew her. Undoubtedly she is not sorry to go. As a good houscwife she has not probably found the Executive Mansion a Very convenient place of abode. All reports concur in representing that renowned cdifice to be in a condition soine- what dilapidated, aud actmally verging upon the' shabby. In fact, for eieht years Mrs. Grant has had no house of her own, and has really been at the head of a large office maintained for the use and benefit of the Amer- lcan people. The modest little structure which she left at Galena was doubtless far pleasanter and in mgreat deal better repair. We are in- clined to believe that Mrs. Huyes will also think with regret of lier snug, clegant, and comwo- dious Ohio home, as the auction-ndvertisements say, “with all modern improvements.” We kuow at least from_her correspondence that such was the homesick fceling of Mrs, John Adams, who was always louging for the old- fashioued residence, balf villa and half farm- house, which she had left in Massachusetts. Both the ex-President and the President are married men. Several of our Chiel Magistrates have not been so fortuuate. Mr. Buchanan, for fustance, o bachelor of the oldest kind, would have found his domestic arrangements sorely trying but for the tact, grace, and elegance of his niece. Jelierson, when he became President, was still mourning his beautiful wife, too early lost; indeed, hie never ceased to mourn for her. ‘The charming manuersand personal elezance of Mrs. Madison are matters of Iistory. When Mrs. Jackson, in the quiet of the Hermitage., heard of ber busband’s election to the Presiden- cy, she said simply: * Well, for the General’s suke, I am glad; for my own part, I never wish- edit.” She was dead soon after; she went to a narrower howe than the White House, and it is fold that the General was never the same man atterwward,—onc of bis friends suid that he grew twenty years older on the night . of her death, Mrs, Tyler came by the accident of death to the White House, a.1d she aied there, leaving its domestic arrangements somewhat at hap- hazard for the rest of the official terin of her husband. Mrs. Pierce arrived at W: under the shadow of & great and recent be- reavement, bier oaly cLild; a fine lad of 13 years, baviug been kuled by a railway-accident the preceding January, Mrs. Fillmore, it will be remembered, died just after ner husband went out of office, and politieal disappointment_and domestic grief clonded his last official days. We bave not mentioned the stately lady, of the true aristocratic Virginian blood, who ‘Was .the wife of Wushington, aud who will alwags be re- membered with bim. She was never & lady of the White House. We think it creditable to the character of A aerican women, and an cvidence of their tact uud ability, gracefully to adapt themselves to vircumstances, that no President’s wife hos shown any particular incapacity for the position, through want of good breeding and dignitied manne Usually all the ladies of the Presi- deut’s house have been respectfully treated by the press and the public, and there has been little scandalous tittle-tattle about any of them. Two or three of them have been remarkable for a deeply religious character. We are sure that the best wishes of the nation attend the coming of the new mistress of the White-House, and that in her bands fis traditional dignity and de- corum of life will bg preserved. ANOTIIER TRIUMPI. Cincinnati Saturday Night. An aged parent living on West Seventh street didn’t like it because a young man who came to visit his daughter stayed so late. One night the young man called and settled himself down on the sofa with a gentle thud that meant 2 a. m. at least.. He talked about the weather in the most deliberate maoner, because he wasn’t in the slightest hurry, don’t you see? “Then he discussed the latest opera season, and dwelt upon the various amateur performances that had been given in the city, criticising all ‘the performers with the minuteness und severity ‘Which no.one but a young man who has come to sit up late with lis girl can ever em- oloy. ¢ was about . launching out in a vivid_ description of the last party he had attended when he stopped suddenly, ¢lapped. his hand to his forchead, gave o wnfl louk round the room, and, staggering to his feet, eald he felt thut e would have to go, Scarcely waiting to say good night, he selzed his hat, rushed out of the hall door, and disap- peared in the darkness and the night.

Mrs. Chew Goon Poe loves her husband, and says she {s happy. She is the Maine school- teacher who married a Chinaman ‘In San Fran- clsco several months ago. She has taken a re- porter of the Uhronicle into her confidence, and convinced him that she did not marry for moncy, but for that which makes the merry world go round—to wit: love. There was a re- ception several weeks after the wedding, and all her nusband’s relatives were invited to come with wedding presents. In China the bride is not visible on such occasions, but a coolie ser- vant, dressed fantastically, pours out the tea and distfibutes confections. The friends of Chew Goon Poe assembled in a restaurant, with gongs and fiddles, cach bringing to the banquet a sum of monc_v-ranzcl’:xf from $2£0 $40. When the company were ready for tea the' Caucasian bride moved suddenly upon the 2Mongolian works by emerging from the obscurity of her chamber, taking the head of the table, pocket- ing the money, and pouring out the tea. The guests protested inst this innovation upon the customs of the Orient, but the bride did not scem to understand the Chinese langusge. She. deposited the money in a-baok the mext day, and her husband is unable to convince her that her conduct is improper. % —.

Oliver, s young lawyer of good- standing at the Nashville Bar, and of respects- ble family connections, was married to Miss Hannah Weil, daughter of Mr. S. Weil, of this city, at her father’s residence, Friday "eveniny, by Justics Creighton. Feeling that her parents would uppose the match, as it s against the Jewish creed to intermarry with other peaple, she went to her father, and put to bim the fol- lowing insurmountabie questions: ¢ Father, how old am 17" Father—Nincteen Eem old, my daughter.

Io support of what I said a few weeks ago, rela- © tive to the soclety-girls epoiling the beaux, let me relate to you, verbatim et literatim, a conversa- tion overheard at the Arsenal one day. The young lady was pretty aud & coquette, but . she had fallen beneath the fascinatfons of s young naval officer, considered quitea modern Aaron Burr among the ladies. He is pale, with handsome "dark eyes, aod notedly bright in_ conversation and sparkling repartee. Said the demoisctle, with leap- year freedom of scva?mnt: ** Mr. Blank, do you know I have been i love with you ever since I first saw you? But how can any one resist tue glances of your beautifal eyest” Mr. Blank, usually cool and self-possessed to provoking- ness, colored brightly, and appeared, for & mo- ment, il at ease and somewhat abashed. How- ever, he came gallantly to the rescue, and prob- ably added onc more 2rain of contempt ha al- ready boasts of feeling toward the weakness and silliness of the fairer sex. % TEMININE NOTES.
