GENERAL sCHENCk.

No notice of this Thirty-ninth Con-
gress would be complete which omitted
Gen. SchencS, member of this same
body far back in the days of the galaxy,
when he was an Ohio Whig. He has
represented the United States in South
America, aud is still a heavy, athletic
man, with smooth, whitish brown hair,
head own-carried, and a severe eX-
preston. He is the chairman of the
Military Committee, and partisan of
volunteer organizations as opposed to
regular establishments. In debate he
is compact and energetic. His passage
at arms with Fernando Wood demon
strated his formidable and aggressive
method, and behind this ready ability
is reputation for indubitable integri-
ty, with II devotion in detail, to busi-
ness matters. He has one of his hands
paralyzed by wound received in ac-
ton, and writes therefore with his
hands crossed. The general impress
sion one derives of him is that of a de-
termined, combative spirit, with a
sturdy physique to enforce it. His eN-
perience and fervor give him position
among the master-spirits of the House.

DEEPLY DYED RADICAL.

There sits a man far down that aisle,
directly opposite the Speaker, who is
perhaps nearer the standard of Thad-
deus Stevens, In fervor of opinion at
lsast, than any other Congressman It
is william d. Kelley, of Philadelphia,
a very tall and very spare figure, cap
ped with knotty head, which IS COW
cred with short, swart hair, and is at
the forehead low and positive. His
voice Is the grandest and most effective
in the House, being Forrestonian in its
Ciepth, and his movements are courtly

In the death of Henry Winter Davis,
the House sustained the loss ofits most
polished and effective orator. His was
a stature which would be prominent in
any grouping. He had u positive mind,
and a hard life in which to work it.
His executive enterprise was equal to
his forensic endeavors. His last pOliti-
cal campaign in Maryland was a verit-
able coup d'etdt, and he probably had
more of the real genius of a statesman
than any Congressman of the war. His
strong. handsome physiognomy, lit up
with fire, vet always burning to con-
Quer, seldom to ornament, must be con-
spicuously set in any picture of those
hopeful sessions. His loss is generally
said to be second in calamitousness
only to Mr.. Lincoln's. "When he did
use the jewelry of rhetoric" said Mr..
Cresswell, she would quietly set met
aphor in his page, or throw compari-
son into his speech, which would serve
to light up with startling distinctness,
the colossal proportions of his argu-
ment. Ofhumor he had none; but his
wit and sarcasm Mt times would glitter
like the brandished scimeter of Saladin,
and, descending, would cut as keenly-
The pathetic he never attempted; but,
when angered by a malicious assault,
his invective was consuming, and his
epithets would wound like pellets of
lead -

rHE PREsENT alINoRIrY.


To see the representatives of the pres
ent dismantled party on the floor of the
House, you must stand at the Speak
er's desk and look to the right. There
are seven aisles radiating from this
desk, and to the right hand side of the
sixth aisle-uot numerous enough to
fill the fourth part of the floor, so that
many Union members are placed among
them-sits the minority, at conscious
disadvantage, with faces of detection,
aud in great bewilderment for want of
either cause or organization. In James
Brooks they lost their most pretentious
associate, and are now quite without
distinctive mhster-spirit, unless that
place could be filed in some sort by
EIdridge of Wisconsin, light-haired
man of the middle size, 40 years of age,
perhaps, and of determined face, who
occupies desk two places from Gen.
Rousseau. He is chiefly notable for his
| flibustering spirit, and when he speaks,
which is infrequent, is slow and delib-
crate. The leader of the Democratic
side, in burleSque acceptance, is a. j.
Rogers OF New Jersey, who sits aiooi
| from his party, in the middle of the
House. He is a young man OF black
mustache, very restless, and not at all
| impressive in manner, resembling the
average of our smart, dippant New
| York lawyers at the Tombs and Jetfer-
son Market Courts. His position on
two Committees entities him to the
! floor, and of this privilege he avails
hfmselfat every opportunity, speaking
