DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S AND THE PREsI-

MAN.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 81, 1877.
There is no doubt but great deal OF
influence has been brought to bear on
those Democrats who voted with Senator
Conkling against confirming the New
York appointments. Most of them
however, are not men 10 be easily led,
and it lie probably as likely that larger
IS smaller number will, II the same
nominations are again made, vote with
the New York senator. Some may do
as Senator Thurman did-refuse to vote
either way. If there is no choice as to
efficiency and honesty between those Dir.
Hayes wishes TO turn out and those he
wishes to put in, there would seem to be
no special need for Democrats to take
part. Why interfere In neighbors' quar-
rels? Nine times out of ten those who
do so are soundly punished for it.
A year ago, when
THE WIDOW OLIVER.
OF this city, commenced suit against s.
mon Cameron, aged eighty or more, for
breach of promise, nobody thought seri-
ously of the matter. He had debauched
the politics OF Pennsylvania, begulled a
tribe Of Indians OF its property, ard se>
duced one administration into giving h m
Office. But it was not believed he had
taken unfair advantage OF the widow.
However, it Is now said, on apparently
good authority, that he has given her 4
thousand dollars rather than have her tell
In court what she knows. VIII some

Two days later one Of the servants an
nounced Mr.. Grantly ON business, and,
on his being shown In, found myself
face to face with handsome, grave
looking man of about 80. He was rather
shabbily dressed, and looked pale and
i'll as he bowed to Cobweb and myself,
ending by staring at my child, as T
thought, in rather peculiar way.
This annoyed me-a stout, choleric,
elderly man-for no one had a right to
look at my Cobweb but me; and I spoke
rather testify as I said:
Now, sir, when you please I am at
your service"
"I beg your pardon" he said, in a
low, musical voice. Miss Burrows, I
presume. One moment, please-don't
move"
Cobweb was sitting in the bay-win-
dow, and, to my utter establishment, he
quickly drew one of the curtains, and
then half closed another, so that the
light fell strongly upon hair.
| could not speak for the passion bub-
bling up in my throat, and, as / stood
gasping, he came and took my arm, led
me aside, and then, pointing to where
Cobweb sat, as astounded as myself, he
said:
THAT would be admirable, sir. We
could not improve that natural pose"
"What the dickens-are you mad,
sir? What do you mean?"
81 beg your pardon" he said, flush
ing, and speaking hastily. 81 am SO
wrapped up in my art, / thought you
understood. Mr.. Eden said you wished
me to paint this young lady's portrait.
