"The Cincinnati Gazette Washington
correspondent, agate" thus winds up
q graphic pen picture Of the visit of the
Chinese Embassy to- the House Of Rep
resentatives, on the 9th inst -
When at last the Speakers welcome
and the members of the Embassy were
seated in the inner row of seats between
the members and the speaker, there was
an opportunity, which the galleries en-
braced to the utmost, of seeing their
appearance and dress. All wore the in
verted washbasin hats, surmounted at
apex of the cone with a button, which
marks the rank of the wearer, and COW
cred with flowing tassle Of silk The
two high mandarins had in addition an
ornament of pea cock feathers, floating
with the silk tassle over the back of the
hat. Their shoulders were covered with
garment somewhat like the loose
sacques now worn by ladies'. Beneath
these were the skirts which reached be-
low the knees, underneath these were
silk trowsers, tucked inside of most
extraordinary boots-shapely enough
but made to augment the hight of the
wearer by soles over an inch in thick
ness, which were of pure soft white.
One of the madarins wore huge round
thai gave to his face an expression of
almost owl-like wisdom. All carried
fans, on which were inscribed notices
from Confucius or parting injunctions
from the friends who had presented them
as souvenirs. They wore their hats
throughout the ceremonies. Beneath
them could be seen heads shaven all
around the forehead, till they looked
preternaturaliy and painfully clean; and
down their backs hung long plated
queues of glossy black hair, reaching
far below the waist
The two high mandarins wear black
mustaches: the rest have perfectly
smooth faces, which add to their femi
nine appearance. ALI look Intelligent
and the mandarins, in particular, have
heads that will compare in volume Of
brain with almost any of our public
men. One of them bears marked re
semblance, in the lower part of the face,
to Gen. Butler. They are represented
by Mr. Burlingame to be statesmen of
experience, of high ability, and of schol-
arship that would entitle them to take
rank with such men as Edward Evarett
That they are exceedingly ohservant
and intelligent is evident enough to all.
Two of the Chinese students speak
English quite we'll, and almost without
perceptible foreign accent, and write it
almost as rapidly as their own tea chests
calbalistics. They are both young-one
of them only twenty two-and are just
out of the imperial college at Pekin.
They were greatly interested in the
short hand writing of the Globe report.
ers, which they watched curiously, while
they remained in the hall after business
was resumed One of them gave some
samples of their own shorthand writing,
which appeared to be based on the same
general principles

State.
The unanimous reelection Of G overnor
Sprague the other day, was an event Pc
culiar and unique in the modern history
of the United States Senate. Senators
consider themselves fortunate if they Sc
cure the unanimous support of their own
party. Gov. Sprague is the solitary rep
resentative on the floor of the Senate Of
the entire delegation of the State, in leg
islature assembled - 81 -
No man has been more slandered or
misunderstood. Because he was rich
and young, men took it for granted that
he had nothing but wealth and youth to
recommend him. Yet, in point of fact,
he can well afford to compare records
with any of his associates. Elected by
Democratic aid to the Governorship of
Rhode Island, he was one of the fore
most in proffering aid to the Government
to put down the threatened rebellion
and he marched at the head of his men
Point and Conservative influence, he was
among the first to demand the removal
of Mcclellan. Coming from a Conserv-
alive State and with Conservative con-
stituency. He was one of the first to
commit himself to the policy of eman-
cipation. Long before other loyal
State Governors had reached the same
point at a time, indeed, when eve
John A. Andrew said the arming of ne
groes was too Radical policy for him.
Gov. Sprsgue was raising and urging
upon the acceptance Of the Government
negro troops. At time when Abraham
Lincoln was doubling the policy of suf-
fering negroes to vote and urging re-
construction by white votes wherever
one-t tenth of them were found loyal,
Gov. Sprague was one of the small mi
nority that in the Senate insisted that no
reconstruction could be permanent or
basis of the whole population, black and
white.
This is not exactly the sort of record
one would look for in the case Of a
young millionaire it is not the sort Of
record that generally secures the unan-
imous approval of both parties. And
especially it is not the sort of record to
warrant any doubts as to the saeacity of
man who could see far enough ahead
to espouse these causes at the hour of
their greatest unpopularity or any
doubts as to the political sincerity of the
man who chose, again and again, to risk
his position on their success.
It has been so common to speak of
the elections in Rhode Island as "con-
trolled by Sprague's money" that it
may be well enough now to add what all
the active politicians in the State know.
that no money has been spent there for
years, save in the legitimate campaign
expenses, printing of tickets, distribu-
ton of documents, etc; and that there
was less expended, even in this way, at
the late canvass which secured Gov.
Sprague's re- election to the Senate, than
at any previous one since the outbreak
of the war 44.-

Although the President was acquitted
on the impeachment charg es, tn : nation
still holds him to have been gui lty, and
he will be judged in history N accor-
dance with rule he has hims elf pre-
scnbed. In speech in the Senate of
the United States, January 31st, 1862,
on the expulsion of Jesse T. Bright,
gentleman with whom he is now in full
sympathy, he said:
s Is there a Senator here, who would
have voted to allow Aaron Burr to take
a seat in the Senate after his acquittal by
a court and jury? No, th. ere is not
Senator who would have do ne it. Aaron
Burr was tried in court, aud he was
found not guilty, he was turned loose;
but was the public judgment of this ma
ton less satisfied of his guilt than if he
had not been acquitted? What is the
nations Judgment, settled and fixed
That Aaron Burr was guilty of treason
notwithsta nding he was acquitted by
court and jury.
The case Of John Smith has air eady
been stated to the Senate. A true bill
has been found against him for his t:on-
nection with Burr's treason, but, upo n a
techinicaIity, the proof not being m ade
out according to the Constitution. md
Burr having been tried first and acq, tit

as he was only an accomplice.
But John Smith was Senator, and ne
came here to this body. He came aga in

the United States, and what id
