BRowNLOw OF TENNEssEE-TEe Wash,
iugton correspondent of the Cincinnati En-.
quirer writes:
One OF the saddest spectacles presented in
the Senate Chamber In these days is the bug
cushioned chair which holds the las, of the
mortal remains OF poor ParsOn Browulow of
tennessee. 1t sits just Ut the left Of the
Presidents rostrunI, on the skirmish line -
There they bring every day the withered rem.
nant of the Apostle Of Hate, and over that
chair there seems to hover, at all hours. the
black Angel "t Death, SaIlow aud emauciated
trembling with palsy IN every limb, he sits
and watches the proceedings around him
with what seems n fearful interest and ONLY
the little light which burns dimly in his once
vicious eye Is lei. to tell yor vf the fierce spir,
which IN times past, Inhabited that never
very pTepOsesslng frame. His right arm lies
by his side, and the thumb of it witches and
vIbra;es with the regularity of a heart beat.
They set glass OF water upon his desk.
hut he never mOistcns his lips. Papers Law
before him, but their neat order is never dis.
tnrbed. There is no rIOre expression upon
his shadowed, Pinched and leathery face than
you would expcc; to ind upon the index of
the mummy in the British Museum. One
can look upon the still vigorous vet stricken
Morton, aud feel that ne bears the retribu,ive
imprint OF vice, but one cInnOt contemplate
poor BrOwnlow without an expression OF gen
erous sympathy. lie seems to be wairiny
his summons. There may be much of the
old vitality in him yet, and it may be many
d'ys befor they carry him into the Chamber
for the last time. 1t seemed as though at
times to day, his old viperous nature returned
t" him and ho yearno1 to tningle in the
heated debate. But the present, with its
hopes. are but mists to him. He can only
look back over his pathway strewn with
wrecks and lined with the rank weeds of Bit
ter hate and partisan selishness.

in 1867 a verdict was rendered for the plaintiffs,
when it went up to the supreme court on excep-
tions, and before the receipt was received the de-
PENDANT had got discharge in bankruptcy and
pleaded it in bar to this action. The present
hearing is on the question whether the defendant
willully and fraudulcntly left the names of the
