Special Correspondence OF the Republican
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. %, rs.
What, with the Christmas holidays
and the Grant boom in Philadelphia, we
are again bereft Of Congress, and Wash
ingtou without it, speedily lapses into
that forlorn condition the poet describes
as like unto "some banquet hall de-
serted" No more does familiar great
ness perambulate its accustomed beats,
or new members strut the Avenue
striving to appear as to the "manor
born," and not in the least self-con-
scious though oppressed by the con-
viction that their slightest motion ia
the cynosure Of all beholders, aud the
eyes Of an admiring country are fixed
upon them.
Although We arc wont to spend
the Winter in abusing the body legis-
lative, since the bread and butter Of
quill drivers depend upon it, yet in
the absence of our legislators, the Cap
itol city offers no charms, and only
when they are with us do we truly
live.
Most of the law makers expect to
bring their families when they return,
and "the season" will then fairly be-
gin. Senator Sharon, "the silver king
of Nevada" who spends about as little
time in the State he represents as he
does in the Senate, will arrive early in
January. His daughter, Miss Flora, a
winsome little lass of just sixteen, will
accompany him. She was educated
abroad, sings like bird, has no foolish
affectations, and is not at all spoiled by
''ths dollars of her daddy" Mrs.
Ramsey, the wife of our new Secretary
of War, will no doubt be the favorite
among the Cabinet ladies. She is haJd-
some aud understands the art of enter
tanning perfectly.
