WASHINGTON SOCIETY THIS WINTER
" Perley" writes rs follows to the Boston
journal, from Washington
A maicrity Of the Senators, and at least
one-thiEd of the Representatives, are accom-
panied this Winter by their wives, and many
have also their families here. MANY are at
the hotels and lodgings, but over forty have
set up their LGreS ct PenateS, and en- Joy home
comforts. The residences of Senators Nor
gan, Pomerov, Sherman, Chandler, Dixon,
Sprague and johnson, and of Representa-
tives Butler, Hooper, Pruyn and Colfax;
with other Congressional dolnicies, are
among the most elegant in the metropolis.
Many of these domicilli tied Congressman
dispense liberal hospitality, and will lend
their aid to make the coming g. season
eclipse any of is predecessors, even those
when Mesdames Davis, Gwin, Clay and
other Southern matrons were doing their
part toward fnuenting rebellion. The Cabi-

CHICAGO, January 9.-The Ohio Demo
cratic Convention Yesterday nominated can
didates for State officers, Thomas w. Hub
bard heading the ticket for Secretary o
State. George II. Pendleton was Endorsed
for President and came forward and made a
brief speech amid the widest enthusiasm.
The Indiana Convention also Endorsed
Pendleton and nominated Hendricks for
Governor. Alfred Edgerton for Lieutenant
Governor and full ticket for State officers.
Both Conventions sustain JuhnSon'> plan OF
reconstruction, though the resolutions are
not very enthusiastic.
The platforms of both Conventions are
similar. They favor the payment of the
public debt in greenbacks and demand the
abolition Of national banks and declare in
favor Of the protection Of naturalized citi-
zen> in all their rights at home and atr ad.
The Illinois Central Democratic Commit
tee met al Springfield. A mass meeting
adopted resolutions very similar to those of
Ohio and Indiana, though they expressed H.
preference for Presidential candidate, and
made no mention of johnson or his policy.
A State Convention was called to meet the
10th of April.
A Democratic banquet at Washington in
honor of Baule OF New Orleans was an en-
affair. The President WIS heartily
greeted upon his entrance. Letters were re-
ceiyed from Pendleton, Pierce and others,
giving their political views.

A WEAK INVENTION OF THE ExEMY.-

Says the Washington Chronicle of the 18th
December:
The deliberate forgery Of letter ard the
signing to it of the name OF General Dent
(brother-in-law Of General Grant, to prove
that General Grant will not accept the Re
publican nomination for President is an
audacious, yet short-slighted, effort to stem
the tide of resistless sentiment. And al
though General Dent stamps it as whole
fabrication, and says he never saw the letter
i'll he saw it in print, it is still used in GER
ain papers to show that Grant is not a sound
