siderable sensation among the ladies in the galleries
Gov Brownlow was in his seat to-day. His bibulOus
predecessor, Patterson made his appearance in tho
Senate Chamber with new white hat, which formed
quite contrast to the crimson in his cheeks, and
walking over took Mr. Brownlow by the hand but
the Governor not indicating any great pleasure at
the meeting, Patterson had enough good sense to
make his visit short one. The Senate adjourned
about 1880, but the floor and galleries continued
crowded for several hours afteTward.
After the Republican Senatorial Caucus, which
met to-day, had disposed of the report of the Sub
Committee appointed to revise tho Standing Com

strengthen the Public Credit which johnson refused
TO sign, and the Hooper bill relating TO National
Banks. The House Committee will be appointed to-

Mrs Julia Ward Howe gave readings from her own
writings, in the Unitarian Church. tonight under
the auspices Of the Grand Army of the Republic
for the benefit of disabled soldiers The
church was well filed. Mrs. Howe was introduced
by Senator Wilson. The readings were from her
Wan Poems and from her miscellaneous poems, and
from her Journal in Greece. The Battle Hymn OF
the Republic" which she originally wrote IN Wash
ington, called forth tho most applause. An I'M
published Poem on Venice was also received with
special favor. The readings concluded with an ad-
dress to the disabled soldiers, hastily written for
this occasion. Mrs Howe's voice rs soft and musical
but hardly strong enough for a large hall, and at in
teryas the playing of brass band, only one block
away made both reading and hearing difficult. Tho
entertainment, however was keenly enjoyed.
