he writes o long letteE in favor of harmony among
honest men, which is excellent advice, but has no
application TO us. Let him say these things to The
Times which goes bawling day after doy that it is
the only paper in New-York which is honest This is
as silly as ii is false. If The Times had character
enough to be believed when it says THE TRIBUNE is
on tho side of Tamrnany, it would by those words
infict irreparable injury upon the cause it blunder

But before Mr. Stetson undertakes to lecture The

The Size Of Uu,. Senators.

The Washington correspondent
of the Milwaukee Sentinel writes /:
One cannot help recalling the
chronological dictum-"That oil
things being equal, size is the mea-
sure Of power" wien looking on
the assembled Senate. There is a
good deal OF head here, and pro
portionally a largo amount Of belly
also. Small men, by contrast, are
at great disadvantage. Look
over the outer circle to the left Of
the Vice President, as an illustTa,
ton. There are no small men, in
it, although some are not fat ones,
yet the lean men however large Of
brain, are made to look small by
contrast, There is Hamilton and
Flanagan, of Texas, clean and
hungry kine,' tall and lank men of
the Cassius stripe. Next comes
your goodly proportional Senator,
both physically and mentally, Mat
thew II, Carpenter, one of the
strongest men in the Chamber
Scott, Of Pennsylvania, sits next
to him-a man of moderate stature
and weight. Rice, Of Arkansas,
long headed and long limbed, fol-
lows; his colleague is by his side,
Mcdonald, young but weighty in
avordupois and sogacity; than
Ramsey, handsome and stout,
tanks Char rdler, homely, course,
large in frame, and heavy in flesh.
Howard, Nye, Sumner, three heavy
weights, sit side by side, sustained
by Kellogg and Yates, who com
plete the row. OF the Senators
there is not one weighing
less than 100 pounds, and all but
three or four will acknowledge 200
and upwards. SO size in body and
head does not really give evidence
Of power. In the House there is
not SO marked a distinction. The
representatives will average better,
ind there are some little men who
hold large places ability, not expe
rience, perhaps is as great.
