Mr. Window is. should judge, very prudent
man in the management Of affairs. Hewatched
the construction OF his house from the layiug ol
I the fOundaGon-stone, and seemed himself IC
know quite Us much about what was being done
as tue builder did. Mr.. Window, like most
| Western Senators, entertains very little; and, Il
he Keeps any horses, do not remember to have
seen him drive them.
! EDMUNDS.
Senator Edmunds would be the wish OF many
Tor Presidential candidate, if he l,ad been born
III the right place. But it is doubtful whether,
In our time, New England will furnish an occu-
paut OF the Presidential Chair. Mr.. Edmuuls
lives in house on uighland terrace, and is a
near nsighoor OF Senator Bayard and Of the
Hon. Thomas B. Bryan. The house of the latter
VIII be occuptcd next winter by the new Senator
frnm Colorado AIr. Hill. Senator Ed1nunds is
not in robust health, and both rides aid drives
great deal: lie keeps pair Of dark bays,
which he drives to covered family-phaeton a !:
| and he has. or hired often, two saddle horses
QUO OF Which he rides himself and tho other OF
which is used BY one OF his daughters Mr.
Edmuuds is not SO angular q horsemnn us one
might imagine.

mentioned Tor 'ice-Presitlent. He keeps no
| carriage Of bis owu, but he makes resv liberal
use 81 the carriage which is furnished hun by
| the Post-Otlice Department Recently the old
carriage has disappeared from the streets, anu
and new, large, covered family phaeton been
| purchased; SO the Postmaster. General nov has
| two carriages. Secretary Sherman and Attor-
ney-deneral Deyens have their private teams,
but Judge Key uses the Government carriage for
social purposes. The Postnaster-General has
all old English t'stable- bnss u named Hodee
who ca1ne here with Sir Albert Bruce, aud who
acts both as coachman and as stableuaD. Key
even rides from the Ebbitt House to tine De-
partment, matter Of seven blocks; and his
family make the fine coarl,-horses brought from

FBRRY.
Senator Ferry, Of Michigan, is not without
friends who would support ililn for the SECOND
place upon the National ticket, aud be has great
skill is presiding officer. Hc is bachelor,
and a very shy Que. He is little heard OF in
society. He drives out in u close one-horse
coupe, which in summertime looks very hot
and uncomfortable.
THURMAN.
seDator Tburmnn's wealth was once estimat-
ca at a vcrv large suEn,-son,e have said /. half
million Of dollars 1t was secured BY the rise
III rcal estate in his resident cltv in Ohio and in
resl-estatc specnlations in the West; but be Was
severely Injured in the panic, which cripplel-n
lact, It IL said bankFuDted-Tom Ewing. Mr..
Ihurman'5 fortune is also said to have to
great extent disappeared. He lives here in
iarsc double. house IN Fourteenth street, which
he purchased some four years ago and remodel
ed One-hndf OF this house is occupied, and
doubtless owned, By Mr. Thurman's sou-in-law,
Gen. Mccormick, OF Arizona. 1t must be
peculiar political household, as Gov. Mccormick,
notwithstanding his marriage, is one OF the most
stalwurt OF Radical politicians; and it is said
that Mrs. Mccormick has become convert to
her husbands views Senator Thurman con-
sldcrs Washington his home, and spends all the
tune here, except when he is absent campaign
ing, or fluids it necessary to leave Washington On
ACCOUNT OF the climate in the summer.
BAYARD.
Senator Bayard, iu his own right, is man of
but moderate iortuue, and nearly all Of that
was inherited from his father; but Mrs. Bayard
mad considerable estate, SO that Mr.: Bayard
himself has noFer devoted his time to money
getting. He lives here in his own house On
Highland tcrrnec,-a part OF the city which |
within tho last ten years has been greatly i'm |
proved by tue taste ana en*:gy of the Hon. !
Thomas 3. Bryan, OF Chicago, who also has his |
tertaius but moderately. He keeps good pair |
OF horses. His salary as Senator must be an !
Insignificant portion OF his annual income.
RANDALL
Speaker Randall, while not making an active !!
canvass, is rcallk considered by some Of the |
most formidable OF the Presidential candidates !
Of that uarty. MIR. Randalls only house is in |
Washington. It is very modest three-story =!
brick structure, the southern slope OF Capitol |
Hlff in an unfashiona6le location. It is SMALL
not large enough indeed for the ordinary social |
courtesles which Speaker is compelled to ex-
tend; but Afr. Randall is very modest in his en-
tcrtainmonts, and is independent enough to defy !
some social precedeuts- he is strict temper
aoce man, aud at his entertainments nothing in-
toxicating is offered. lie gives no dinners, but,
once or twice month during tile inter, he has
receptions, to which persons arc invited by cards.
The house is 50 small that it takes nearly the
entire winter to 'make the rouuds7 OF the
necessary social invitations.
TOM EWING.
Tom Ewing the man Of ambition who would
be Governor, Senator, and President, and all
the rest, is q noor man. If he was ever very |
rich, it WAS speculative sort Of wealth which
made him "Iuntl-poor.f' He lives in the WIN |
est way. aud, OF course, does not entertain.
lie keeps no carriage, aud generally walks
from the Capitol to bis quarters. His ambt-
tiou seems to furnish him with all the society
that Is necessary.
DAVID DAVIS.
David Dav1s-whcu was bis name not men-
tloued for the Presidency OF all parties!-lives
IL tIltL great OaTu. tHc NatlOHal t1OLel. W0efe |
20 many OF the Judges OF tue Supreme Court
i've. lie Keeps up his Judicial habits, even to
lie extent Of delivering opinions in the Sen
ate. David Davis turnout consists OF q Gov
.red phaeton, which hangs low, and is sensi-
,lc in that respect: but the springs, to pass
.r-by, seem too greatly oyerburdcned, and the
lorse, although good one. appears to be too
lglt for his task. Judge Davis ought to have !
heavier wagon. He will "go down" some
lay. E. 3. W.
