Evening parties have been quite the fashion in
Washington this winter. The cabinet have them
regularly. and members Of the two1 houses are
following them cut. Night before last, Mr..
Seward gave tea party, quiet little affair, to a
dozen or 30 members OF Congress and others; and
we have to remark il, rs one Of the curiosites OF
the timer, that Gen. Fooie, Of Mississippi, was in
v,ed, and was there, cheek by jowl, with Thur
low Weed and W. n. Seward. This is the most
incomprehensible of all the mysteries Of Wash
insion. We have, too, our fears Of the result.
We are afraid tsal the memorable Foote will cease
his viailant attention over the "Senator from the
Empire State" while everybody had counted upon
Foote 10 keep the why and cunning free soller IN

tien; but that party IL bad sign. Foote ought
