Personal.
Ex-senator Dixon has arrived in town from the
scene of his recent struggle In Connecticut for the
Congressional prize. He is cheerfully resigned TO
his defeat feeling assured that the reign of party
which could be guilty Of so Migrant an outrage
as to compel by act Of Congress three States to
ratify the fifteenth amendment to the constitution
cannot be otherwise than brief and dlsgraceful
He meditates going to Europe this summer, and
amid the marble palaces OF Milan, In the quiet
shadow of the grape crowned hills of Tuscany,
giving himself up to sweet oblivion OF the corrodng
memories Of American politics. Mrs. Dixon and
her daughters 60 with him, and Washing
ton society will thus be deprived OF what leht
1t no small portion of its beauty and brliancy.
