The cbatty Washington correspondent
Of the N. Y. World, gives these sketeh-
a. " Senator Morton is large man.
with swarthy face, which wears nr-
ed look. He usually speaks sitting ana
always commands attention. II he has
a specific fault it is that OF being 100
emphatic. But that is general detect
in Senatorial oratory, The simplest ex-
plantations or suggestions are put forth
in manner indicative of the profound
est Importance while the sterotyped sing
songiness of school boy declarations is
now and then most agreeably relieved
nv the clear medicines and clear-tongu'
edness of Roscoe Conkling One char
acteristic of Mr.. Morton is his willing
ness TO give way to Others. lie seems
ulad to have himself expressed through
others when to do so would involve ell
fort. He observes closely, and only
speaks when the importance of the oc-
casion demands it. The gray haired,
bald-headed, strong featured man at his
left is Morrill, of Maine. Morrill, OF
Vermont, sits on the eastern side, and is
an entirely different looking man. 1t is
not difficult TO fancy him looking very
much as Charles Sumner did twenty
years ago, when he was younger, and 1t
is to be hoped handsomer. The tallIsh
very slender man, half way over on the
9 fuliginous'' side, who is talking IN
goodish sort of voice, but in style
suggesting a secondrate preacher, is
Scott of Pennsylvania. He has two
story head, and carries it in an uppish
angle. Just back of Morton sits Cole
of California, dark, unhappy looking
man. His neighbor is John Sherman of
| Ohio. Sherman always looks clean, Sc
rene and amiable He is only a shade
taller. Dissect his face, and bis nose is
sharp, his mouth large, lips thin and
we'll compressed, his eyes not large,
neither particularly expressive, while
no one feature is especially engaging
But his face when taken as whole is
pleasing and winning. He is not much
given to talk, and when he does speak
he betrays slight tendency to stammer-
ing. Next to Sherman sits William
Sprague who is Senator from virtue Of
the almighty dollar. But money, even,
has not invested him with interest,
waving the pun. He has but one dis
tinguishing characteristic, and that Is
his nose. There is great deal in a nose
and Sprague's is acquiline and large
; 1t is his only redemption from absolute
r commonplaceness. He wears glasses
} because he is very near-sighted. He Ii
brunette, smooth faced, dresses ordIna
rily, and moves about in listless, slip
/ shod manner. Just back of Spragu,
: sits Thurman. who is very much of 8
S one colored man. His hair, beard, eye
t brows and eyes are all on the grayisl
order, and his face is slightly ruddy.-
He has an agreeable voice, good squar
= shoulders, understands what he talk
about, is dogmatic, but has decides
manliness in his look and manner tina
commands respect If he didn't tax
snuff he might do for the eastern side o
the Senate, or in any event keep com
pany with Chambers tobacco box. A
Humans right is Sawyer of Soutl
Carolina, who looks enough like Ed
munds of Vermont, to be his twin broth

handsome, and Mr.. Sawyer had the ad
vantage of being born in Massachusetts
and once superintendent girls school

out of the clutches of the rebels and in
