Gen. Longstreet's Case.
Gen. Longstreet's nomination to Office was
confirmed, after strong opposition which was over
come byslLgent electioneerng on the part of three
or four Senators, prominent among whom were the
Senators from Alabama. Since his confirmation
many of the radical Senators who voted for him
say they are glad he was confirmed but they don't
want the President to send in any more like him.
The President doubtless agrees with them in both
particulars, rs he has few relatives among promi'
nent reconstructed rebels. Gen. Longstreet's case
is not likely to become precedent.
A Summer Residence for Grant.
On motion of Mr.. Morrill,, the House Com
mittee on public buildings was lately directed to as
certain whether there is any building belonging to
the government, available as summer residence
for the President In former times Presidents
were supposed to be able to find residences for them
selves, if they found the White House too warm
during the summer. But as Congress is so won
drously anxious to keep Grant free from all cares
except finding Offices for their friends, it is proba.
bly, all right. There does happen to be public
building admirably suited for the purpose OF a
summer residence, at least it was thought so for
two years after the war. 1t is situated on the sea-
shore. and the balmy breezes of old ocean greet it
daily, while the dear old flag hutters patrioticay
over it from sunrise to sunset Itis too, hallowed
by proud associations, which would tend greatly to
soothe Grants perturbed spirit. Could not Con.

A Little Embarrassing.

Brigham Young has lately sent portion OF his
family (onIy twenty of his wives) on grand tour,
BY way of the lakes, to Washington. At last &C.
counts they were enjoying the hospitalites of Chi
cago. Before they reached that noted city of do
mestic and social bliss, they made brief sojourn
at small town in Nebraska While resting from
the fatigues of travel, they we're invited to spend
the evening and meet some Of the society Of
the place, at the residence of a MIR. Tompkins.
Mrs. Tompkins, the hostess, was of course charm

slightly embarrassing. When Mrs. Brown was to
be introduced, it was "Mrs. Young-Mrs. Brown

Mrs. Smiths time came, the formula Of Mrs.
Smith-Mrs Young" was repeated twenty times.
Brigham ought really to have had them numbered
