I There was some 9sensasion in respect to-
the Hon. Daniel, E.. Sickles. When his
name was called by the Clerk there was a
buzz of excitement, but TO response. The
name was called again, but no response
The Clerk passed on. When he had gone
through the list he called Daniel E. Sickles
again. and the gentlemen responded from
his seat which is on the extreme left flank
of the Dem. cratic position on the Speakers
right, Immediately under the ladies' gallery
There was futter7 of the crinoline when
| Sickles answered :'here," and all eyes we've
turned toward him. It was trying ordeal,
but Sickles stood it without a symptom of
fiinching. The upper part Of his face and
head are precisely as they appear in the cut
on the cover of the pamphlet giving an ac.
count of the Sickles tragedy, but in that
cut. his face, with the exception of the -up
per lip. was shaven. Now, he cultivates
all his beard This alters his physiognomy
somew hat, but he would be instantly recog-
nized by his picture which. together with
that of his wife and P. Barton Key, be can
have the pleasure of seeing on many a wall
! in Washington. Sickles was dressed with
scrupulous care. wearing his coat buttoned
/ about his breast. He sat with one hand
| ungloved examining his mails, and did not
seek recognition from any of his fellow
members. Until they saw fit to present
| themselves, it was his policy to treat them
as strangers. presume there were twenty
members who were at pains to go and shake
| hands with him. He looks like man of
high order of mind, and in the highest con
dition of health. A better picture of IA
strong man would be hard to find than that
which he presents. s &sE'sr

Greeley, with his old white coat. and non
descript hat of most dread full style. The
Southern youths stare at Horace with all
their eyes, and gap with wonder to think SO
meek a man in appearance can be so tremen

CRTTTENDEN, HALE AND PIERCE.
John J. Crittenden arrived this morning,
and was warmly greeted on all sides. He
is favorte in all circles. The meeting be-
tween the old Kentuckian and John p. Hale
was equal in cordially to that of couple
of college chums, when first meeting to,
gether at the commencement of the session.
1t Why, Hale P' and ''Why, Critten-
den i''- and their bands smacked as they
come together Hale hasa way of getting
along with all except Frank Pierce. By the
way, hear direct from Concord that the
friends of Frank Pierce in New En.land +
ale actually laboring day and night to get
the materials ready for bin at Charleston.
They hope to be so numerous as to Kill of I
others. and then get Frank in as contin-
gency candidate. What influence the arri-
val Of Crittenden, who has been the leader
of the South Americans. will have. if any, +
upon the posture of affairs, it is impossible
to say. When we come to consider the his
tory of the last political campaign in. Ken
lucky. and the character of the impressions
made here by the Hon. Humphrey Mar
shall, it is somewhat difficult TO calculate
Mr.. Crittenden. Indeed, he cannot, by the
application of any known laws be located
as the heavenly bodies can. p ta7e7 eal 81
