WAsHINGTos, ID. T., Jan Ia.
The Resembling OF the Solons OF the
Capi;ol has not been attended with that
deg rec of interest that made the session,
before the recess, so enlivening. Ii is
only necessary, however, fer the public TO
possess its soul IN reasonable amount
OF patience Tor tae most greedy oil the
lovers Of sensation TO be SATISFIED. Apart
from the regular political and financial
issues that in due time will bring forth
Irults OF excitement, there are some side
shows which promise more attractions
than the circus proper.
For instnace, GOver's resolutions,
which set eighteen investigating COM
nittees in full operation, may furnish an
sppetizlng morceau. The drsg-ne: OF
the last Congress caught Secretary OF
War. There is some anticipation that
the present one may eaten by the
gills an ex-Secretsry OF the Navy. The
Republicans did all they could TO pre-
vent the use Of Gover's dark lantern.
They came near succeeding, too, owing
to Democratic sbsenteeism. There are
many members whose cole patriotic pur-
poses seem to be to put an Hon. before
and an Nj. q after their names, lndustri-
ously to draw their $500 each month and
to spend it amid the allurlDg scenes OF
New York or St. Louis. Glover threat
ened to cast ray of light upon the ini-
tials OF some OF these Gentlemen, if his
resolution had been defeated
Then the woman suffrage pieaders
promise lllImitatle interest. They have
held n convention here recently IS your
readers know, which appointed delegates
TO present their claims t" Congress.
These ue.egales are more sppresistive o.!
their trust, than some Democratic mefn-
bsrs seem to be OF theirs. There Is no
sbsenteelsm among them. They will not
tail for lack OF zeal they have Hooded the
House with petitions from 80 States.
They have tackled the delegates from
every State and they swear eternal con-
fusion and disaster TO any opponent OF
their measures. They are unwilling 10
trust their cause TO male pleaders, and
ask Congress TO allow them on Sat-
urdsy next, to speak tor themselves.
Kelley, "Pig-iron' Kelley, has
altered this female offspring, and
the champion OF greenbsck and protec-
ton is loud in his demand for justice to
| the producers OF the land. Kelley will
| not be suspected OF any tender sentiment
or any OF the lair delegates, and there
ore is u good selection. probably. his
beauty is not OF ;hst captivating order
which would suggest that he owes his
prominence in their behalf TO any weak
ness Of at kind on the part of his fair
clients. Ii he las found his affinity
among them it must be the manly Doctor
Mary Walker. Doctor Mary is the most
noticeable OF all the candidates Tor sui.
TRACE. lie has dress which Is q sort Of
hallway house between female and male
attire. He wears pants-tight-htLing
cloth pants. HIS coat Is made upon u very
novel pateat-a cross between "Prlnce
A Ibert and a "Polonsi'e.' 1t has rut-
fles round both wrists and collar. lbs

Doctor Mary made his appearance on
the floor before the House met. She
tried TO start Mills, of Texas. But she
soon found that be mad wind enough to
run hls machine without her help. She
next essayed the handsome member
from Missouri, General Crttenden. The
General had been al objector In all their
efforts. He bore himself smilingly and
with calm exterior, but the pages, who
locked around them, say that he evil
IDENTITY weakened under the influence
OF this fair disciple OF Ksculapius.
A motion to adjourn carried and
postponed al aye and no vote
On resolution to hear them on Sstur-
day. The girls say, however, that they
intend to fight it out Oh this line II IL
takes all summer.

Walkers Republic, don't seem to alarm
its cotemporarles-none OF them having
mentioned its birth. Brisben Is spelling
u glorious career. As town builder
and paper runner be is not success,
but as q Chinese General he is without

Walker, of Virginia, the pretty man,
is in California. He has decided not 10

Of house to save beng kicked ou:.
Butler, old Ben, is absent from his
place. lie can probably be found IN
some Massachusetts brlckyard filing bis

Ewing is back. He saws he prefer;
the lower House. 1t is nearer the peo'

The Democrats of the House are now
