A VISIT TO WASHINGTON.
While lit 'Washineton w ci,r,nt
much of our time in watching the
proceedings of Congress, and became
ftnmmintoil with maiiv of its members.
of whom we had heard so much, lut-
Senate is tt much more dignified and
!,,, i, House, mid
,.i-f.vUiii the de -
bates. As our readers are aware there
are two Senators from each St ife.
rnnL-infttot'ilof sovetit v-six. and while
l,m. ,iro two hnnditd and nincfv
three members of the Houo, yet some
States (because of tho paucity of their
population) have twice as many Sena-
tors us Representatives. Uepresen-
tation in the House is Vised upon
population, whorea every State with-
out regard to its size or population is
entitled to the same number of sen-
ators; so thai New York has two sena-
tors and thirty-three representatives,
and Delaware has two senatois and
only one representative. The Senate
Chamber is in the northern w ;n;r of
the Capitol, and is a very handsome
room 112 feet long and .2 feet wide.
Each Senator 1ms a highly po'ihheii
mahogany desk and 11 large, cuini'' 'i t
able arm chair, all placed in sen i.eir
CUiar i'O'.VS. I'lih ss t;:ie ypeci.-'llv
important b'.i'-ine.- is being transacted
not more than hall' the sea's are 01
pied, and but little attention .sect. to
be paid to wh: ' any sp ai; r i- saying.
y'c had heard so i ei'- . f thed.gnity
ami ability of the I'nited States Sen
ate that we had expected to be seine
nhatiiwe struck when in the prosei;
of so aujyu.st a body, hut wo ipiickly
real.'r.cd that "(Ireat ::-. dinuiiilies
as you approach it" nnd that senators
were but men. and some of tl.er; very
irnary otios. The two handsome. -t
senators are hitler, of South ( V.ro
Una, and Hansom, of North Carolina.
Judge ftavis. the I'resideiit of the
Senate, is the -heavy man" of that Stephens, the Vice-President x.f the
weighty body, and tries to retain the Southern Cot.fed.-raey. We wen- iu
Invor k both sides. He is an old trodueed to this gvnil.-i.mn and en
batchelor, but it is said that he is now
paying attention to a North Carolina
belle. Th" acting secretary. Col.
Fre.uk Shober, of Salisbury, is one
of the handsomest, men it: the chamber
and is a genual favoiiic. A relic of
the olden time is found in the pcrso::
of Capt. liassett, tho assistant lioor
keeper, who has served the Senate for
over half a century, and is a link eon
uecting tho present with the past.

senator, having reeeutlv beeti eh-eted

Two Of the most
gentlemanly looking senators are
i'.iy.iid and Saiilshury. of ftelav.-are.
The former is quite youthful in up
jiearatice (:.Ith,;ug!i fifty inur vears
Cld) which rs dotil.'tles.s owing to his
smooth face and pleasant smile. We
found him very pleasant in conversa
tion and as unpr. tending us if he
never exported to be Pre.-adont. His
eol'rr.giie i:T juuch more venerabh. in
iippcaiauee. atid looks like the -old
time gentleman" that he is, rot-mbiing
in his general figure nnd carriage the
M Hon. Hugh Waddell. V.u!e
ITauijiton looks every inch a soldier
statesman, and would command atten
tion in any assembly. It is quite a
coincidence that both he ami his cob
league have lost a leg, though they
walk without crutches and their lo-s
is hardly perceptible. 'all. of Fl t ida.
and Morgan, of Alabama, taik too
much and thereby lone inm-h of their
influence, for wliilo they are both men
of ability (especially M''.irg:ini yet thm
make themselves too eo;:.!:.- 11 bv
apeakir'j- on almost every om-.iion
that is discussed. It i.s actually said 11
that sometimes, when Call urwois to 1
make a sjieech and addresses the pre
siding officer, the hitter will announce
that "the Senator from Florid a moves
an adjournment", puts tic question
and declares tho Senate adjourned !
Joe Brown, of teorgia. presents quite
a patriarchal appearance, with his
flowing white beard, but no one has
much confidence in Imp.. Ma:;ey, of
Texas, is by no means handsome, and
id a very ungraceful speaker. His
eollengue (who is a brother of Capt.
Coke, of Rnleigb,i is a Luge man with
a oer.-soumling voice, but is tirit so
pood a speaker as our Coke. Jonas.
a Jew from Louisiana, is utterly tin
tike our idea of 11 senator, nnd we
cannot imagine why the legislature
of that State should have so honored
him; r-eelc. of Kentucky, i.s one of
tLe best workers iu the Senate, being
thoroughly posted as to nil its luisi

Scotchman. We did not see Malione

ors the presiding oi'iicer if that body
is c ule.li is the most important person
in Congress, and few people are aware
f the great, power exercised by hiin.
and this power is often used in a most
aibiirary manner. Without his per-
mission no member of the House cat.
iiddr.-ss that body, or even introduce
