Great success in this city-is prin- eipally due to the fact’ that they have unusnal facilities for pro- curing advanced FOREIGN STYLES AND PARIS NOVELTIES. Also, the proprietors anderstand and attend to the smallest details of the business, giving it their personal supervision. They make a “SPECIALTY” of Suits, Cloaks, and Fur Garments Only, not selling any’ other class ot Dry Goods, which alone gives them a great advantage, as per- fection can only be attained in any branch of trade or mechanics by strict application to one particu- Jar specially. The looseness and carelessness with which the Dry Geods Houses generally conduct their LAK & SUIT DEPARTMENTS Fully exemplifies this fact. Too many irons -in the fire is the trouble, the proprictors leaving the management of the Bepart- ment to their clerks, but. not giv- ing them full control. The con- sequence is confusion and lack of system, which shows itself in many ways—the assortment of ‘styles more or less broken, ont of sizes, sometimes a fair stock of one kind of goods and none of another, and soon, It takes a great deal of detail to suceessfully manage a Ladies’ Dress and Cloak Establish- ment, and for years in Paris. the “Specialty”? Stores in. this line fiaye almost driven the regular Dry Goods houses out of the mar- ket, in this one branch.. It is about ihe same in New York and other Eastern cities, and for proof of what a Specialty House has done in Chicago THE PARISEAN SUIT CO., which has only been established hero for: three years, have sold within the past twelve months over half a million dol- lars’ worth of goods, and now sell more Ladi Dresses than ALL the Dry Goods houses in the city, although, as was kindly predicted by them (and not one of them can deny if) that the concern. would not last six months, they claim- ing that Chicago was not big enough to support a house deyoted to Suits and Clozks alone. THR PARSIAN SUIE CO Call particular attention to their immense assortment of Ladies’ and Children’s . DRESSES AND OUTSIDE GARMENTS Claiming that it is the finest and best selected stock in the West, and at lower prices than the same class of goods can be found else- where. The special attention. of the public is called to their mag- nificent assortment of Seal Garments and Fur-Lined Goods. The most of them are from’ the celebrated Fur House of Revillion Freres,.79 and §L Rue De Rivoli, Paris. The Seal Garments from this establishment are specially: worthy of inspection, being the celebrated LONDON DYE, and made in'a manner that no Domes- tic Furrier can eyen imitate, much less equal. There will be oyer one hundred of these Elegant Gar- ments placed an exhibition the coming week, which we venture to say is a larger stock of Seal Gar- ments than is carried by any three Fur Houses in this city.

C., Oct. 29.—The Senate bas concluded the work .for which it was convened in special session, and hus udjourned sine die. ‘The tltibustering contest, which lasted through- out yesterday and during the night until 3 o'clock this worning, was resumed at 17 o'clock today, and continued for most of the gay, when moat of the Republicans abandoned the at- tempt to confirm Stratham, the Readjuster nominee (Mahone's man) for the ollice of Pust- muster at Lynchburgh. The Democrats were, therefore, apparently successful in their filivustering maneuyres, but the success is to be very short-lived, as the commission of tho it incumbent expireson Monday, wnen the President will nomlnate Strutbam to the place. Lt is dillicutt tu see what the Democrats, therefore, bud ex- pected to guin by the prolongation of the session in this trinl of strength. They have only em- phasized the fact that the new Administration supports Mahone in his contest against Bour- bonism, a fact which wil! become known in Vir- ginia nearly two weeks before the election. ‘They have also made Jt clear that the Kepub- licun party of the Senate WILL STAND BY MAHONE, much personal embarrassment, and that David Davis, the presiding officer of the Senate will not vote with the Democracy, but will decline to vote, leaving still the Republicans and Manone, one majority. The Democrats have shown more than that. They bave cemonstrated the arrant hypocrisy of their position, in that while. nonunaliy attempting to retain ing woundea soldier and a carpet-bagger, they, in point of fact, bave been seeking to keep a man in office who bas been short in his account with the Gov- ernment, and who has just been . proved, after a two-fold warning, to be once more a ‘de- faulter. They bave also shown that the Dauo- cratic course is a very cesperate one If Bourbon success fs in any way dependent upon the per- gon who may be appointed Postmaster at Lyneh- burg. The contest was abandoned by tho Ke- publicans xbout the middle of the afternoon, und the business upon the exeeutive docket of the Senate was taken up. This was ell finished with the exception of the case of Watmoughy appointed to the Paymaster General of tho Navy. Owing to great opposition to him, and the fact that the case certainly friends of Watmough to leave the nomination in the committee until December, without prejudice. THE ONLY OTHER CASE Mr. H. J. Ramsdell to ve Register of Wills in the District, wag confirmed. This is very compli- mentary to Mr..Ramsdell,, Some of the Grant men, who are strong friends of Gen. Webster, who was deposed by Gen. Garfield in order that Mr, umsdell might have the place, bad declared that Mr. Rumsdell must not be con- firmed, and a single objection would have sent the cuse over a day und thus have defeated him. ‘The ense is noteworthy, in view of the fact that Gen. Grant and Mr. Conkling were known to be | earnestly opposed to Mr. Ramadell, who is a special friend of Mr. Blaine, and Gen. Grant is understood to bave made personal appeals on behalf of Webster. TH PROCEEDINGS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION during the nigat were attended with no un incidents. There were several loug speeches, but most of the time was spent in roll-catls, the Senators securiug what rest’ they could upon the couches in the cloak-rvoms und in their own ebuirs. The Senate restrurant bas not been open at this session, as the caterer appointed by Vice-President Wheeler did not care to continue. Accordingly the Sergeant-at-Arms was in- structed to procure lunch for forty, which was spread iu the room of the Committce on Appro- priations. Very likely that lunch is to be puid ~for from the contingent fund. Towards morning It was discovered that the Senate was without a qi rum, when Morgan, of Alabama, who is always uble to make a protracteil speech, took the floor, znd, ina tong harangne, insisted tbat the Sergeant- at-Arms should send for ubsentoss, whether in tho city or outof it, Ben Hill, although under bidden by big physicians from speaking even in caucus, could not resist the temptauon, and spol itis suid, for two hours, arraigning the Republicans on the Virginia question. DAVID DAVIE, President of the Senate, showed thut be could e nbove his ollice by refusing to tuke part in tho absurd wranglings Of the Senate, and ab- sented himself from the Chumber.- He did not, however, leave the building, and was within call In case bis presence was necessary. During the night Senator Logan is said tohave made tnrce hours’ speech, which must _bave beeen in the nature of a soliloquy, as the Senate Chamber ut the time wus deserted, uniess it could be said to have been occupied by Senators who were asleep. Ben Hill indicated his purpose to bring the question iato open Senate by a’ resolu- tion which, later in the day, was presented in open session. ‘This resolution was ingeniously framed sa text for u Democratic bardogue. Meantwhile, during tho. night aud early this morning, TIE PRESIDENT was constuntly visited by the Republican Sena- tors.. He was kept up during the night with the. Senate. Senator Mahone called upon him and urged that Stratham’s name be permitted to re- main before the Senate, as if_it were withdrawn now, or at any time prior to the Virginia elec- tion. it would be» great injustice to the Read- juster cause. Congressman Dezendorf, of Vir- ginia, theonly one who represents the straisnt-- out Republicaus, visited President.Arthur and urged bim to withdraw Stratham’s name, but Mr. Dezondorf was unsuccessful in-his mission, ‘for he said, “The President heard us patiently, but he did not intimate what he. proposed :to do, nor did he express any opinion on the subject.” ‘The contest was finally abandoned, by the con~ even to the extent of great physical fatigue and could not be determined without 2 protracted | debate, it was agreed by both the opponents and } ag to which any contest was expeeted, that of | trentment for ncancer in the mouth, and for- | i | i 1 1 Y refusal to attend. | tion had, ou the 24¢ | very unfortunate nplication. “1 bave the bonor sent of SMahon' tham will be nominated to the position !mmed: ately upon the expiration of Wilson's commis- sion.

Wasurxcros, D.C., Oct. 29.—Immediately aft- er the Senate went into executive session this afternoon, the Sekzeant-at-Arms madé-bis re- { turn of the order by which, Inst night, be was directed ‘to “bring in” the Senators- named therein as being absent without leave, An ani- mated debute ensued forthwith in regard to the power of a minority of the Senate under the Con- stitution ana rules to “compel” the attendance of absent Senators, the purpose of those ques- toning the validity of the order being under- stood to be to prevent actign upon the Eyncb- burg Post-Office nomination, After speeches of considerable length by Brown, Hill, and Bayard, ana brief remurks by many other Senuturs, the following : _* protest? was presented and entered upon the journal to- gether with tho Sergeant-at-Arms’ return. Yhe undersigned members of the Senate of the United States hereby formally and car- nestly protest against the execution of the reso- lution offered and adopted yesterday, under the rule prohibiting debate in the absence of a quorum of the Senate, by a vote of 19 to 17, di- recting the Sergeant-at-Arms to compel tho at- tenditnee of the Senators named in said resolu- tion: 1. Because said resolution is in violation of the fifth section of the first article of the Consti- “tution, which authorizes a smaller number than a quorum of eich House to compet the attend- auce of.abscat members only when the manner of such compulsion and the pennlty for a re- fusal to attend bave been provided, no provision | having ever been made by this Senate of the manner of compelling the attendance of its ab- sent members, nor any penalty. afixed for their 2.
