He makes the distance between the pub

greeting with old acquaintanoes. On
the occasion of General Sheridan's first
visit to Somerset after the civil war, q
party Of friends secured band, and
proceeding to the cottage where he was
stopping, with his father, made formal
demonstration. The General made his
appearance, rebuking his friends for the
formalities of the occasion, and mingled
with them in such hospitable, every.

the most venerable citizens of the place,
In alluding to the funeral of Sheridan's
father, declared the people turned out
and paid their respects on account Of
himself, and not because ne had cele-
brated military man for son. In fact,
the old gravedigger did not seem TO have
any special admiration for the Lieuten-
ant General. He regarded Mike as the
best looking man, and the most genial
gentleman; Phil, in his estimation,
looked like nothing but q soldier, and
was tit for nothing else. On cross-exam-
ination of the old man it was found that

count Of the cut Of his hair; he disliked
to see natures headwear moved almost
to the scalp. John Sheridan, jr., now
resides on the Sheridan homestead,
along with his mother. He is married
to daughter Of James Gallen, and has
several children. James Gallen is the
man who furnished Phil. the money with
which to fit himself out for West Point.
He lives ON farm adjoining the Sheri-
dan property. The junior John Sheri-

and manners, and as talkative as sew

the Generals departure for Chicago, he
said Phil. had to 60 back to headquar-

trouble in the Black Hills. He jocularly
added, however, that he didn't think
Phil. stood in anticipation of an engage
ment in the Black Hills SO much as he
did of a matrimonial engagement in
Chicago. He declared that It was at
last definitely settled that the General
was to be married, and seemed to enjoy,
intensely, the prospective launch OF his |
brother into the sea OF family affairs.

dams father have furnished new oc-
casion for bringing to notice some of the
early history OF the personal character

seem to be on intimate terms with the
whole Sheridan family. They ignore IT,

John with q republican simplicity that
has an odd sound to one who has never

Political Notes.

ALL NIGHT IN THE SENATE. - Wash
ington, February IS.-The Senate to graf
iiy Senator Morton remained in session all
last night for discussion Of the Pinchback
case. The session was rather more stupid
than all night sessions generally, though
towards morning it was enliyened by
little spice. Two dreary speeches, by
Messrs. Howe and Hager, occupied the
time till midnight. After that hour the
chairs Of Senators were almost entirely
deserted. Democrats and Radicals retired
to the cloak rooms and made themselves
as easy as possible under the circumstan-
ces leaving the floor to the speakers. The
galleries were comparatively deserted, but
the yagrant negroes who always take ad-
vantage of such occasions to secure n com.
Portable snooze on the cushioned seats,
stuck manfully to their posts till long past
the morning light. Every now and then
the Democratic Senators would emerge
from their retreats and move an adjourn.
ment. This would compel the Rcpubli-
cans who were lying around in the retiring
rooms dozing TO get up and come into the
chamber, which was species of fun not
at all relished by them. Refreshments,
solid and spiritual, were provided in vari-
Gus of the committee rooms. The conse
qucnces of extrayagant indulging in the
same were apparent when several of the
Republican Senators began to abuse the
Democrats for making motions to adjourn
To this the Democrats retaliated that the
Republicans had no right to leave the Sen
ate chamber without quorum. About
five o'clock, on motion to adjourn, no
quorum answered to the roll call, and on
another motion being made to adjourn,
Mr. West, of Louisiana, who was in the
chair, made the most extraordinary ruling
that motion to adjourn was not in order.
A rather lively discussion took place on
this Mr.. Pinchback, who seemed natur-
ally TO eyince great anxiety, also being
around all night, and kept his courage up
by frequent resorts to cheese and cider.
Pinchback's anxiety was not to be won
dered at, for admission to the Senate would
involve very gratifying pecuniary results
to him. He would have two years pay
and mileage to pocket, nearly one year of
