Death tn the Executive CYrcle.

II Death I'm the Executive Circle.
Il The row OF houses on l street, above Vermont
| avenue, was finished in FiIlmores sdministra-
/ ton, called "Corcoran's Row." and long
| thought to be very elegant series of resi-
| dences. they are now occupied as fellows, be-
| ginning at the west end: No. by Mrs. Simeon
| johnson, whose husband was the publisher OF
the democratic national organ here fifteen wears
ago; No. ?, by Madame Pairo, as a select school
l for Mademoiseles, the widow OF a banker OF
l former days. No. by Judge Louis Dent, who is
now dying of a tumOr under the liver, and who
rs watc ed day and night with fond but hope
less anxiety by the Presidents wife, his sister
his nephew, Frederick Grant, and BY the Pres
1 ident himself, whose loyalty to his blood and
connections is no imputatiOn long as he is
| faithful at the death bed as at the marriage
l altar; No. by III. G. FAINT, esq, banker native
OF Fauquier county, Virginia, and protector o
| the Southern Maryland Railroad; No. by
| Senior Zamaconi, of the Mexican commission;
| No. by Mrs Howell as a select school.
| Judge Dent has been the subject of much
| light and generally mischievous comment, arfs-
| ing from nothing in his own nature, but wholly
| from his involuntary relations with the Cher
| Magistrate; for he was of all men the most un-
| suspicious, genial and impulsive; never gsvs
pain without reason, and felt it sensitively vet
not with vindictiveness. Peace to his spirit!
Market Notes.
Radshes, five punches for a quarter appear
| on every side, very pretty and tOothsome. Po-
tonac shad command for large, imposing roe
creatures, one dollar and a half a pair, weigh
ing about ten pounds; for he shad of the Poto-
mac one dollar pair. Artichokes,-not French
bulbs, but Maryland roots, to boil like potatoes
or oyster piant,-bring but forty cents a peck
or ten cents quarter, which lie enough for a
FAMILY dinner. There are an abundance of Po-
tOmsc bass in the market, at thirty cents a
mess, and perch from Severn West and South
rivers, at thirty cents bunch. Eggs are as low
as twenty-five cents the dozen. Today showed
the best market of the current year. visible
increase OF well-tO-do and even fashionable peo-
pie Is observed in the Centre market, some at
tracted by the oddities OF our suburban popula-
ton, white and black; others loving the scent OF
fresh things in the balmy morning air; others
again making promenade Of economy and
nIding It 10 disaccommodation. 1t is safe to
say that In the District markets there is more
poltenes,. and less skylarking amongst the
butchers than in any Eastern city.
Guests.
Amongst the strangers in town is Doctor
Walter Carey, of Buffalo, son OF Trumbull
Carey, the early patron OF VIM. II. Seward, and
sOn-in-law of Thos. e. Love, VI. c., deceased
both anti Masonic leaders. DIR. Carey is noted
LOT driving four In hand, with eleven persons
in party, from Brussels TO Naples in 1871. He
has crossed the Atlssntic annually for many
years.
Edwin Cowles, esq, publisher of the Ole We
land Leader, is at the Arlington with mis- daugh-
ter, and the wife of MI Alfred Coyi s. the p1t-
Usher OF the Chicago Tribune. The newspaper
property controlled by the brothers is nsarly OF
the value of one million and half doliar.
They are the sons OF a Clergyman On the west
eTn reserve of Ohio.
City congressman.
The large cities of the United States are very
differently represented here. Schu.z and Bogy,
Senators from St. Louis, typify the oldest and
the latest immigration into the Mississippi
valley, the French habitGnts and the German
| republicans OF AS. The former gave St. Louis
It's romance and the latter its ideas. Each OF
the st. Louis REPRESENTATIVES il of nOrtbern
1 birth. StaEar1 horn in NaW Ham ira Walls
on the st. Lawrence in New York state, and
Stone from the same state. The former is miller
and strictly devout; Wells, like GratZ Brown
| is street railroad incorporation and operator;
Stone is an iron man. The latter two are
Democrats. They are distinguished for the
nelshborly yet orthodox conviviality which pre-
walls in ST. Louisa sort of western Baltimore
| The Chicago Senator, Logan, has little Of the
real Cmcago type, which is clear, frosty-faced,
| verdure under the skin. OF this type Farwell
is an example-the controlling mind in a vast
dry goods house. Senator Logan has the Ken.
lucky Irish temperament and face. John B.
Rice, OF Chicago is a native Of the Eastern
Shore OF Maryland, and the most national aud
manly manly type OF man sent us from any great city
ADacostia bridge, delivered Friday.
Cincinnati gives us a Greeley republican and
Democrat in General Banning. and Milton
Sayler-the latter q bachelor of forty odd, and
very winning and pleasing. Banning is a good,
feryid type OF the native Buckeye lad; solderly,
obliging, and ambitious.
Boston has DO Senator since Summers death;
| its kepresentatiTes, Hooper and Pierce, are in
| nothing alike. The former is good type of the
6os.oh capitalist and merchant, fond OF good
cheer, temporizing, not antagonizing anybody
| or anything, and well interested in Washington
| as better climate than Boston, and not quite
| so angular in character. Pierce Is a more fer
| vid, dead earnest young man, and keeps up
| the tyre OF the Bay state Institutions
| New York city has composite delegation,
l afably represented by Mr.. Roberts, the poIiti-
clan OF the Clinton type by Mr.. Wood, the ready
| faculty ard instant zeal OF the political sales
man, drummer and suctioneer by Mr.. Cox, and
| so forth. The trouble about New York city is
that, being lost like the Oregon in its own dash

| ucular formation or period. but going by the
name OF Drift. And that is the way It's Congress-
men generally arrive here: brought in on fresh
cts that subside as instantly, so that the city's

delegate. Hamilton Fish probably represents
It pest OF any: nationality, wealth, exchange,
