WASHINGTON, March 49,
DoINGs IN Town. ne'fhs
Congress is in muddle at the other
end Of the avenue, in the endeavor to de-
eide upon a method of adjournment
Everyone has decided for himself, that
"the rump" is dead letter, and cease TO
troop about the capital, with any further
curiosity in the premises.
Most of the Congressman having tanli-
lies with them during the last session, have
already departed, disgusted with the slow
coach proceedings relative to retirement
of {" the faithful
There is quite fever prevalent among
the NJ. C's, as well as among the native
Washingtonians, in reference to sailing Tor
the Paris Exposition About twenty-five
representatives of "upper tendon" will
sail about the middle Of the coming month
Among the latter party, will be Mrs. Sena-
tor Sprague. The latter lady after par
ticularly gratifying success in sustaining the
role of leadership in all that has pertained
to the jollifcation of the beau monde, du-
ring the past season, intends joining a
maiden sister, Miss Chase at Dresden, for
the summer. Miss G., is said to have ex-
bibited marvellous gift for etching, and
! it is for the prosecution of this talent that
the Chief Justice has consented to her pro-
tracted sojourn abroad.
Senator Sprague does not intend leaving
the country at this time. Mores the pity,
(if for no other reason than that the same
reckless bohemian who doubted the tran
guilty of his domestic relations when
madam was last abroad, will be sure to re-
new his croaking upon this second putting

T The whole marriagable femininity Of
Washington is on tip-toe at the prospect Of
CARRYING off couple Of attaches Of the
French and Spanish legations respectively
Both the happy .fancees are OF domestic
growth, and home production, which has the
effect Of redoubling the vigilance Of the
sex, in the endeavor of consumating similar
unions. The fact that the foreign legations
have shown themselves from time to time
Vulnerable in this particular, is occasioning
the greatest decentralization among the capi-
tai lasses. Each ambitious duck of crea-
ture, has conceived NE idea Of emulating
the stereotyped lesjre Of the Committees on
Foreign Relations, to cement our national
cordiality for other races the world over, and
so it turns out that the young adonts of the
| legation, though it may not be concealed
that he is indefinitely removed from the heir
apparently to the old country estate, is
sought out and cuddled by mamas, into a
love affair, and betrothal with one Of the
daughters of the District. And while l
am upon this subject, / must not forget to
mention, thas Senor ROMERO, the repre-
sentative Of thatexceedingly du ubious Re
public, Mexico, is just about wedding the
dashing relict Of a deceased army officer.
The romantic decision at first adopted, to
delay the Joyful nuptials, until President
JuAREz had succeeded in admin; 5tering
the affairs of the Government from capi-
tai less indefinite than at present, has been
abandoned. the present maturity Of the
bride being mar Testify liable to fade ere
such a cousumation. 80
OLIVE LOGAN, the clever authoress and
actress, has been in town all the week with
party of friends, who ran over from New
York to take glimpse at the Congression-
al hostilities. Among the party was Mr..
JENNINGS, correspondent of the London
Times, who is reported engaged to the
former lady.
Mrs. LANDER, nee JEAN MARIE DAY.
EXPORT, has esconced herself in the CAPT
tai preparatory to a professional tour
throughout the States, She is at present
engaged in perfecting her assumption Of
Medea and Elizabeth. So far as she has
appeared in those characters in Washing
ton, they may be regarded as a tolerably
faithful copy of R1sToR1 in the same roles.
The President has decided to issue a
pardon to General DICK TAYLOR, and
will make the presentment upon the return
of that gentleman from New York, whittier
he has repaired for few days.
JEFFERSON DAVIS release upon his own
recognizance may be looked for within the
coming month. A few Congressional hu-
manitarians of the Radical school have
vakened to the espousal of this act Of
righteousness, and are pressing the matter
with considerable zeal The President
still adheres to his original standing in the
premises, whereby he proposes to sign the
order, provided Chief Justice CHASE can
be melted to the act Of formally indorsing
such procedure. Chief Justice CHASE,
since the New York Herazds late savage
onslaught upon him, and demand for
impeachment for noncompliance with the
law requiring him to afford speedy and
impartial trial to the prisoner, is becoming
decidedly tractable on the subject, and
only Graves little breathing spell to dis
cover how to lessen the responsibility Of
such move. Inasmuch as the Chief
Justice is an ayowed candidate for the
Presidential succession in 1869, due allow
ance must be made for his cautionary de-
liberations.
Chief Justice CHASE has under conside.
ration the feasibility Of establishing among
the forthcoming rules in Bankruptcy cases
the privilege Of allowing sales of planta.
tions, who may take the benefit Of the act
in small parcels in order to enable men Of
small means to become purchasers, which
they could not do in case large plantations
should be sold undivided, as seems to be
