Vajbhxgton, March 21 ir'" fE FIRST SEIR-tlSH in the Senate between the Democratic majority and Republican minority took place to-day on a resolution being offered by a Democratic) Senator call ing on the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish. an itemized statement of the amount of money paid to United States Marshals within a specified time, This brought Colklin to his feet, munds rose like A MADDENED LION, and Ed and came to his rescue. The debate was panic pited in by Thurman, Ke nan, Eatou and Wallace, on the resolu tion and a strict party vote was taken. Ldiuuads lias been in the nabit ot ru ling so long, he found it hard to make the close yo e of Democratic rule fit his temper and vindicative nature This was the opening of coming scenes when tbe bill to repeal the election clause came up. The Senate adjourned uutil Monday next. A 6hort session of the House was held and adjouned until Tuesday in order to give the Speaker time to arrange the Committees. MUCH SPECULATION it going on among tne knowing oae as to who will be made chiirnian of the most important committees, some of Randalls friends say he will be very liberal towards tnose wno fought him for the Speakership, some have drawn in their imagination so far as to assert that he will assign Blackburn as chairman of the appro pi iation committee, whilst on the other hand those who know Randall best, say that he WILL NOT SPARE THE KNIFH to those who opposed him, which is probably true judging from the past we must anticipate the future. Rep resentative Steele was the only mem ber who objected to making Randall's nomination unanimous in caucus. He has been much complimented by the press for the bold stand he took in standing up to what he said and be lieved to be right. He voted against Randall from principle and did not yield in any other direction: He is said to be the BOLDEST AND MOST CANDID man in Congress, when he believes he Is Tight. - - Various speculations are afloat as to how long the extra session will last and the class of legislation that will be brought up for consideration. SENATOR RANSOM whose opinions are always worthy of the highest consideration says he thinks Congress should transact such busiue8 as it was called together for by the President and adjourn. SENATOR VANCE entertains similar views. In the house there is a division of opinion most of the new members want to go into general legislation and prolong the session UNTIL JUNE OR JULY. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, thinks it best to do something to relieve the country from such distress and, that can only be done by Congn ss taking action in some important measures which has been pressed time and again for fioal action. Over four thousand bills have died with -the last Congress, none of which can Dever become laws unless they are introduced again. STATE SENATOR EVERETT, of North Ca oliua, called on the Presi dent yesteidty with ex-Congressman Brogden, and presented a memorial numerously signed by Republicans of the State and members of the legisla ture. The memorial sets forth that un lets certain United States officials are removed in the State, the cause of Re publicaaism is dead. 1 JOHN HYMAN, THE LATE NEGRO Congressman, from North Carolina, called on Senators Vance and Rinsom, to-day, asking them t o assist him in (retting some government position. The number of ex-Congressman around the Capitol might rightly be called legion. They are willing to take the dryest bone if a better can't be had. J. M. H. A VeFy SickTIan, Hocking Valley Gazette.

THE EXTENT TO WHICH AUTHORS, POETS AND STATESMEN HAVE BEEN SWAYED BY THE TENDER PASSION. Trov Times. It is an old saying. "Whom first we love we never wed," and this, though not strictly true, may be applied to Scott, Byron, George Washington and many other men of note. It is inter esting to observe how poets generally pr. sent their love masters to the pub'io. toe p9sonai experience or sucn men will crop out. Scott, for instance, fell deeply in love in early life with a girl of an aristocratic family, and as he was then merely a poor barnsr there was no prospect of succe ss. His father kao w ing this, and being desiioua t& bring the matter to a close, sugg ted to the parents the propriety of terminat ing the acquaintance, and this was done in the least painful manner. The lady was the only daughter of Sir John Stewart, of For farshire, and she afterward married Sir William Forbes, the noted Edin burg banker. As Scott was a well-ed ucated young man, of the fine personal appearance and agreeable manners, there could be but little reason for giv ing the banker preference exoept his wealth and social rank. Scott felt this keenly through life; in "Rokeby" he revives tne episode at some length. Matilda, the heroine of the poem, rep-. resents the object of his love, who there rejects a poet in favor of one of higher rank and this scene becomes 1 doubly interesting as a picture of Scott's early experience. In 1811 Lady Forbes died, b it she had lived lontr enough to see the once penniless bar rister the first poet in Scot land. Her death was deeply felt by Scott, for although he had teen married for twelve years the old flame was not extintruishtsd. "liokeby" appeared next year, and Lockart says "that there is nothing wrought out in all Scott's prose more exquisite than the contrast between the rivals for the hand of the heroine." Six years afterward Scott wrote thus to Miss Edgeworth: "Matilda was at tempted for the person of a lady who is now no more, so tnat 1 am flittered with your distinguishing it." As this took place nearly twenty years after the disappointment, it illustrates the tenac ity with which the author held to h;s first love. When Lady Fotb;s died Scott was so affected that he called on her mother, and both fell to weeping over the sad affair. It is a curious inci dent in domestic history to see a man carrying his first love so tenderly through lifo, while married to another woman to whom he always sh ?w d great attachment. Scott evidently male Matilda the ideal or dream wife who accompanied him till tbajast. Having recovered from the worsf effects of his disappointment, he met a French giri whose father had s ived both life and fortune by ll liij fr m the dangers of the revolution. At the time referred to Miss Carpcutier (or Carpenter) was an orphan, and to her Scott transferred his affections, as far as this was possi ble. He appeared, as has been said, much attached to his wife through life. and sincerely mourued her death. She was. however, lutellectuahy -and phy sically inferior to the Scottish ladies of that day, and the rapid degeneracy of the family may in some degree be as cribed to 60 unfavorable a union. Jefferson, the author of the declara tion, was also subject to early disap pointment. His first lore was Virginia a maiden of reputable family named Res becca Uurwell. Ine latter, however, preferred a young man named Robin son, and Jefferson, like most sensitive youths, keenly felt the loss of one whom he tenderly loved. He afterward married Martha S he 1 ton, an attractive widow of twenty-two, and the union proved one ot rare nappiness. it lasted, however, only ten years, at the end of which Jefferson was left a widower with two daughters four others having died in early childhood. Of these daughters Maria married John W. Epps, while Martha became the wife of Thomas Randolph. The latter thus describes the care which her father bestowed on his dying wife: "For four months, during which she lingered,. he was never out of call. A moment before the closing scene he was led from the room in a fainting condition by his sister, and was so overcome that it was feared he would not recover. He kept his bed three week after the funeral, and required my constant attention." Jefferson was evidently a man of deep tenderness, and after his death there was found in his drawer a lock of hair from each of his dead children, which he had kept as sacred memor:als. Though only thirty-nine whm be lost his wife, he never married again, and remained for forty four ye irs a widower. Washington and Franklin both married widows. The former fell in love with Martha Custis on first 6ight, and having been disappointed in his expectation of the haud of Mary Morns, he urged his suit until it was successful, lie adopt ed his wife's children and his married life was one of unbroken har mony. Franklin's case was rather pe- culiar. louring ms eariy nie in I'nna- delphia he pa;d attent'on to Miss Reed, but afterward went to London, where he remained several years During the separation he neglected Miss Reed in a manner which he himself after ward condemned. On his return he found that she had married, but her husband who had proven woithless, was gone on a voyage and supposed to be dead. Franklin's early love return ed, and, being reinforced by sympathy, he a iked her forgiveness and a renewal of her affections, which was readily granted. Jefferson wa married at the aee of twenty-nine. Wash'ng'on was twenty-seven, wnue rranKiin was oniy twentyfour. The latter says of h;s wife: "We pro-perod together and it was our mutual study to render each other happy. Thus I corrected, as well a9 I could, the error of my youth." This union continued for nearly forty years, and though Franklin was the survivor, he remained a widower. They are buried side by side in the old Phil adelphia cemetery, and a hupje slab which coveis both graves bears the simplest inscription which Franklin could devise. While speaking of this subject it may be added that Ameri can statesmen have generally been married men, and the Presidential ehair has never but once been occupied by a bachelDr. It is said that Buchan an, like Irving, we disappointed in his earlv love, and it so it affords a pardonable reason for his celibacy Another bachelor politician of some note was the late Preston King, for merlv United States Sdnator, and also Collector of our port. To these instan ces is to be added that of Samuel J Tilden. Shakespeare was a eighteen married tno doubt through compulsion; to a worn .n eight years his senior. Before he reached manhood he was the father of three children, but he then deserted his family ard sought a new abode in London. It ia evident that this ill adjudged marriage led him to the opin ion that tbe advantage of years should be on the husband's side, an idea which is near expr'-ned in "Twelfth Night," where the Ltv :e says to V iola: Let still the woman take An elder than herself: so wears she to him : So 8 ways she level in her husband's heart. There are however, some very strik ing instances of a reversal of this order woikmg harmoniously, and never ceas ed to mourn her death. When this occurred he was forty three, and yet he remained a widower, dying at the age of seventy-six. John Howard, when a very young man, married a widow twenty years his senior. This was an expression of his gratitude for her kindnoss and attention during a severe illness. They lived in great harmony until her death, which occurred a'few years afterward. A second union wa'Jr also sundered by death, and then How ard entered on that career of phuan thropy which has rendered his name immortal. It may ba added that John Wilkes, the noted political leader in London a century ago, married a woman ten years his senior. Mohammed's first and favorite wife, Cadijah, was fifteen years older than her husband. To this it might be added that the late Prince Albert was six months younger than his royal bride, and a happier union has never been known in all the history of Windsor Castle. The bril liant yonng Benjimin Disraeli married the widow of his friend and patron, Wyndham Lewis, twenty years his elder, and has remained since her death faithful to her memory. Among these horrible perversions of matrimony which occasionally deform social history may be mentioned the instance of Dean Swift and Stella. The mystery of Swift's conduct has never beeu explained, but some have extenu a'.ed its worst features by the pBea of life-long insanity. Stella (Miss John ston) was induced to leave Eagland and take up her residence near his own (iu Di.blin) in hopes of a speedy mar riage. A f tor seventeen years of pain ful delay she was allow -d to become his wife, with the stipulation that they were still to livo apart and never to met except in the presence of a third person. Tue h: ory of "Vannessa" al " occurs in th connection, and may si ply ba mentioned as aggravating tho horrible and unnatural' baseness of Swift's cLaracter. Southey loved E ii h Fricker but b jth ere poor aud he was obliged to l av:- ho ne (Bristol) in order to accept an appointment in Poitugal. Just be fore the vessel sailed, they formed their hands iu mitrimjnial bonds, the reason being ii order to permit the one to re ceive re:n ttaaces from the other with out scandal. Southey returned in six months, and the union thus begun in poverty was one of prolonged happi ness. Coleridge married Sara Fricker. s str to Edith, but though more in tense in his feelings than Southey, he was vastly his inferior in the duties of d jmesthr life. It Seems strange that the man who could write: All thoughts, all passions, all delights. Whatever stir this mortal frame, Are but the ministers of love, And feed his acred flame, should desert his wife aad family du ring halt a lifetime. Only Southey's charity kept tlie latter from absolute want. Coleridge, however, wasi the' slave of the opium habit, and this is sufficient to explain almost any degree of domestic neglect. Byron is another instance of one who could write beauti fully concerning love, while his history proved how little he appreciate i true womanhood. . Among those men ofajenious who felt the keen disappointment of their effections were Irving and Gibbon, both historians who afterward reached fame. Gray, the author of the "Elegy," died a bachelor of 55, and it is probable that he is a similar victim. Such at least is suggested by a line in that description of himself which marks the closing portion of the "Elegy." Hard by yon wood, now smiling as in scorn, Muttering his wayward fancies he would rove, Now drooping, woeful, wan, like one forlorn, Or crazed with care, or crossed in hopeless love. As Gray was never "crazed with care," the latter clause in the verse is the only one that can be ap plied to his case. He was of a' suscep tible nature, but poverty stood in the way of a domestic life. He had a sure support as one of the "fellows" as one of Cambridge University, bat this would have been forfeited by marriage. Goldsmith stands on the same list. He was in love with the beautiful Miss Herneck, whom he 'fondly termed tbe 'Jessamine bride, but the slender and uncertain earnings of a London litera teur in the eighteenth century were not sufficient to justify matrimony. Cowper, also, was disappointed in love, . but he found, a faithful friend in Mrs. Unwin, whose ministrations were of the most affectionate character. Pope, who is also on the list of liter ary bachelors, had deep emotional powe , as is evident from some of his poems. It was a matter of tradition that he was: much at' .cued to Martha Blount, to whom he not only addressed a poem out bequeathed hisientire es tate. He, however, was an invalid, and spoke of L i life as a "long dis se," a fact which may have had great influence in keeping him a celi bate. The most incorrigable and un pardonable bachelor of genius was Sir Joshua Reynolds, the famous painter, who3 immense weal h deprived him of any such excuse as has just been mentioned. He was, however, intensely devoted to art, and had no room for any other object of the affec tions. On one occasion meeting Flax man, who was then a young sculptor struggling for a position, he exclaimed, "Well, sir, I learn that you have mar ried. If so, you are ruined for an artist." Flaxman, however, proved by his success that siieh was not the case. Fresh Arrivrls at 1, T. John son'. Richmond bolted meal, 500 lbs nice white corn bulk meats, N.
