He emigrated to Ohio a number of years ago, and has held many responsible posi- tions of honor and trast in that staie, among them being a judge of the estate supreme conrt and president of the Obio constitutional cou- vention @ year or two ago. He was one of the | counsel of the government at Geneva, and itis claimed did the major partof the work of the Awerican counsel. He ig an accomplished scholar, and speaks the modern langaages | fluently. He is thoroughly acquainted with | Jurisprudence, local, national, and interna- onal, and is’a gentleman of’ spotless moral ter. There seems to be no doubt of his rmation. ar | con Societ The largest reception of Saturday afternoon Was that of Mrs. Marshall Brown and Mrs.Wal- lach, when nearly all those who enjoyed the brilliant party given by these ladies on Wed- nesday evening last called ts pay their respects. —Saturday evening Mr. Horatio King gave another of his pleasant literary re-unions, and Madame Borge had her weekly reception, which was somewhat larger than usnal. — The example set by Mr. King of giving in- expensive yet agreeable entertainments, should be more generally followed than is the case. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan have been so successfal in pleasing their friends by the two dramatic read. Ings they have given, that it is hoped others will adopt the same style of entertaining. It bat been urged that now, when so few can af- ford to entertain, if the great expens> usuaily deemed indispensable on such occasions is de- manded of them, the leaders of society ought to bring about a better state of things by discour- aging elaborate and costly retreshment tables. Now is the time to make economy popular and restore @ better tone to society than has pre- ed since It has been fashionable for every one who entertains at all to strive to outdo every other one in extravagance. Costly sup- bers, costly decorations, costly music do not Teally give the most enjoyment. Let us have cheaper pleasures, and it cannot be doubted that we shall soon hear less ot “ring A deti- cits from the public treasury.

Tae Senate is evidently getting very tired of the discussion on finance, and whenever a member rises with a formidable pile of MS. be- fore him a majority of the Senators take refuge in the cloak or committee rooms. Not more than twenty out of seventy-four Senators lis tened to Mr. Wright's speech on tinance to-day. Woman SUrFRAGISTS AT THE CapiTor.— Misses Susan B, Anthony and Phebe Cozzens were at the Capitol to-day making arrange- ments for a formal conference with the House Judiciary Committee. It is understood that they will have a hearing before that committee to-morrow. AT THE Waitx Hovse.—Among the distin- guished persons who had interviews with the President to-day were Senators Morton, Chandler, Sherman and Frelinghuysen. Not: withstanding the gioomy weather and damp atmosphere there was a tine display of feminine executive Mansion to “pay brilliancy at the E: their respects” to the Chief Mazistrate. UTAH AND Womay ScrFRaGE AGAIN.—Mrs Heinman, agent of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Society, was before the Committee on Territories this morning, in opposition to the propored abolition of woman suitrage in Utah. and also to the proposition to extend the com- mon law over the territory.
