Dres. aud Department in Paris.

The concerts at the Tuileries are
known to set the fashion for the whole
YEAR, not of dress, but of department.
Partisan ladies walk very much on their
toes, with the waist elevated behind
and sinking in front. Her Majesty, the
Empress, with whom originates the
fashion, executes it Charmingly, The
heels of the satin boots being very
high, and tke soles extremely thin, this
tournurG becomes easy enough, and can
be acquired without much practice.
We are told by lady correspondent
that in tho new style "the air of the Wis
age is to be bold, no longer wearing
that expression Of simpering timidity
which suited with the long curls down
the neck. The chin is projected forward
and the forehead thrown back while the
eyes are kept wide open, hard and
round as possible; the lips are in gener-
al pale-coral- -cOlOring is quite gone out
of fashion-aud the expression of the
mouth to be that of weariness and
scorn. In consequence of the raising
of the Coitfure, the ears, 80 long neg
leCted, have become an object of atten-
ton, aud may now bs seen tinted with
pink or white, as may be required.
They are brought forward or forced
backward, according to the urgency of
the case, and it is astonishing to find
what expression may be given to the
countcnance by dut of little manage
meut. Blue eyes and fair hair are still
considered indispensable to a reputation
for beauty, and black eyes and
raven hair are scarcely tolerated;
those who are unfortunate enough
to possess them being compelled
to uSe every kind of stratagem in the
way of powder, paint, and dust, to con
ceal their disgrace. The elbows must
be rather squared, not rounded, but
brought forward as much as possible,
in order to make the chest look hollow,
and add to the cousumptive look be
stoweA by tho pale lips and flushed
cheeks impaired by the absence of all
coloring in the one case, and the exag
geration of its application in the other.
Let no young lady dare to appear in
fashionable society unless she adhere
with the utmost strictness to these
rules. Court Journal.

The Tenure-of.Omcc Elephant

The Senatorial squabblo over the Ten
ure of. Office Bill has taken queer
turn. After a long and fruitless strug
gle in open session, the Radical mem
bers resolved to submit the dispute &c
the arbitrament of that admirable ana
usually efficient tribunal, the caucus
This step was taken chiefly with view
TO final settlement, bus as it would en-
able the eminent sqnabblers to relieve
themselves of the furious feelings which
the protracted strife had aroused but
which the presence of outsiders in the
Senate Chamber had restrained, there
is no doubt that desire to tight Out
the quarrel in regular rough-and-tumble
STYLE had much 10 do with the call for n
caucus.
Assembling at 10 o'clock on Monday
morning and satisfying themselves that
no unregenerate Democrats were pres
ent, the "loyal" Senators proceeded
TO "leck horns" in the lustiest and
liveliest manner possible At one time
a complete break mp was imminent,
bnt that terrible catastrophe was STAYED
OIL by motion for a recess.
In the afternoon session csnsidera'
tions of purely patriotic character
having reference solely TO moving
GRANT from his position of inactivity
and effec,ing distribution Of the plum
der for which the noble army of office
seekers ale bowling, prevailed over
the belligerent propensities of the in
harmonious brethren and a sort OF
compromise was patched up. Under
the arrangement, the stringency of the
old law is to be greatly modified.
Indeed, except but in name, the meas
ure proposed will differ but little from
absolute repeal The chief difference is
that the Senate will not publicly eat dirt,
but will be able to save soma remnants
OF its shattered dignity.
1t is noticeable fact that Genera
GRANT il 10 be consulted before final
action Is had, aud his views are to be
allowed great weight in determining
the details. His stubborn refusal tC
make removals, or as he styles it, "hi'
determination to enforce the law" has
had it's effect, and the Senate comes
down as completely as the President die
after the STEWART biuuder. What &C
ton the House will pursue in the
changed condition of affairs it is diff
cult to tell Upon this point the En-
qvirer's Washington correspondent says
1t is not believed that the House will
ever accept the substantial repeal o
the old law, but will insist that ever,
line of the obnoxious starpte shall b.
wiped out. Many Republicans de
nounce the caucus decision as meal
surrender, and declare that it woul'
have been more manly to have repeale,
all the law or stood by it.

The Tenure of once Question.
Special Dispatch to Pittsburgh Commercial.
WAsuINcToN n e. March -,

.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March p.
The tenure of Office question will come
before the Senate next in a new form
| The Republican members of that body
were in caucus today from ten to
twelve, and from two TO $3.50 o'clock.
The morning session was devoted te
discussion growing out of the lntroduc-
ton of resolution suspending the act
| to the close of Grants administration.
The old arguments for and against sus
pension were repeated and the session
came to an end without an advance in
any direction. The debate showed ev-
erybody wanted to relieve the Presl-
dent from the check and embar-
rassment, and that a very decided
majority were opposed to repeal
ing it, The special friends of re,
peal were opposed to being bound by a
resolution for suspension, and the ses.
sion broke up without taking a vote.
The afternoon session was devoted to
an earnest effort to find some ground on
which all might stand. 1t was appar-
ent that repeal could not be carried, and
it was dOubtful if the House will agree
To suspension Several ConciliatOry
speeches were made. Messrs. Trumbull
and Morton, representing those who
talked most for repeal, said they would
agree to any measure leaving the PreSi-
dent tree t. make such changes as he
thought advisable. Mr.. Sherman finally
moved to Iecommjt tho bill now pend
ing in the Senate, which suspends
the law till next winter, to the
Judiciary committee. Further de
bate followed, in which it was substau.
italy agreed by all present that new
tenure of Office bill, retaining the fea-
tnres of the present law aud excluding
all obnoxious provisions, must be car
ried through the Senate, and probably
through the House. The proposed mod
idcatiOns are that the act shall not
apply in any way to the Cabinet, and
the President shall not be required to
make out a case wherein certain per-
sons may be removed; in other words,
be may during the session of the Senate
propose removals and appointments at
pleasure, and leave the Senate to make
such examination as it pleases, while
during vacation he may suspend and
appoint at pleasure and submit his &C
tion to the Senate within twenty days
after reassembing. This will leave
him free to act without assigning apy
reason for his action, and the feeling
among Senators tonight is that the
measure in that modified form can be
reported by the Judiciary committee
and adopted by Congress, and that it
will be satisfactory to the President.
The committee vii c'meet tomorrow or
next day to put tie conclusion of the
caucus into shape, and if the present
disposition on all sides to harmonic
continues, new bill will probably get
through before the end of the week.

The Test Oath for Voters.

The constitutionality of the Missouri
Test Oath for voters will be argued DC,
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States to-day. The case in when 'n.S
question arises is that OF FRANA
BLAIR, late Democratic candidate ior
Vice President, against JOHN IHoAP-
SON and Others, election officers oil St'
Iopis comfy. Missouri. On the 9TH OF
November, 1865, at an election in that
comfy, at which the defendants were
acting as judges, BLAIR offered to vote
and upon his failure to take the Test
Oath was refused. Desiring to test the
legality of that Oath he brought suit
against those officers and being beaten
in the'State Courts has carried the case
TO the Supreme Court of the United
States.
We have been favored with copy of
the brief of Hon. NJ. BLAIR, who appears
for the plaintiff. The chief point in
the case is that the Test Oath operates
as bill of attainder and an er post ytdctO
law, and therefore violates the 10th
section of the first article of the Con-
stitution OF the United States. This is
Just what the Court decided in the case
of CUMMINGS rs. the Safe of Missouri,
with regard to the Attorneys Test
Oath, (which is almost identical
with the Test Oath for voters,
and it is diHicult to see how it
oan avoid a similar decision in
this case. Upon the conclusions of the
Court vii. depend the question whether
the doctrine that men can be disfran-
ehised without trial, or in any way save
"by due process of law" is to remain in
force. Should the Supreme Court
enuuciate the same doctrine in this as
in the CUMMINGS case, the Test Oath
system will receive its quietus. For that
tribunal now to deny what it affirmed
in that case would be little less than
qualification. We have no idea, how
ever, that the Court will stultify itself
by now upholding the constitutiOnalty
Of the Test Oath.
