The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1879-03-27

Jersey, but the Republican representa-
tives from the fifth, sixth and seventh
districts are highly spoken of for ability
and experience. The personnel of the
New York delegation was described at
length at the time of the election in No
vember. The Ohio delegation will be
a strong one, despite the retirement of
Messrs. Cox, Sayler, Southland and others.
Mr.. Thomas L. Young is veteran and
successful politician; his Cincinnati COL
league, MIR. Benjamin Butterworth, has Il
high local reputation Mr.. Frank H.
Hurd, who was in Congress before, is
one of the best lawyers of the State, and
Mr.. w. d. Hill is qualified by his train
ing and experience of public affairs to
become most useful Congressman. Mr..
John Whitaker, of Oregon, was the first
Governor of the State of which he is one
of the OH est and most respected citizens.
Of the new members from the Keystone
State, nearly all are we'll spoken of for
ability and character. Mr.. Horatio G.
Fisher is especially likely to prove an
acquisition; Gen. II. H. Bingham, of
Philadelphia, is q clever and experienced
man, and should Ex-Governor Andrew
G. Curtin be successful in his contest in
the twentieth district the Pennsylvania
delegation will be materially reinforced.
The three new members from South Car
olina-Messrs. John S. Richardson, NJ.
P. O'Connor and G. D. Tillman-come
with high local regulations for compe-
tence and character. OF the Tennessee
ans all are worthy of place on delega-
ton exceptionally strong. Mr.. Robert
L. Taylor, the junior of the Housewife
"Gddled his way into Congress" begin
ming q canvass in district which had
nearly 1,200 majority against him with
one IS bill and his fiddle, and winning a
seat in Congress and wife-is a clever
young man, close student and dealer
in hard facts, and withal popular with
Republicans as we'll as Democrats, as his
victory showed. Mr.. L. C. Houk, his
solitary Republican colleague, is also
spoken of as a decided acquisition in
talent and character to the House. Iu
spite of the death of Mr.. Schleicher, the
Texas delegation remains very strong
one, MIR. Throckmorton's successor, Mr..
Olin Wellborn, though a very young
man, being highly commended for talent,
eloquence and earnestness. Of the new
members from Vermont, Mr.. James
Manning Tyler has attained good rank
in his profession-the law-and Gen.
Bradley Barlow lacks neither cleverness
nor an acquaintance with men and things
at Washington. Finally Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston, of Virginia, if not very famil-
lar with public business, should make
one of the most useful members of the
House, and his colleague from the First
District, Mr.. R. l.. T. Beale, has already
served in Congress and attained an hon.
orable position in his profession.
THE NEW SENATORS.
The new senators make favorable i'm
preston, and it was very generally said
that the Democratic side was the ablest
looking body of men that had sat in the
upper house for many year. Senator
Williams, of Kentucky, is most strik-
ing figure. Six feet high, broad of chest,
with pleasant, intelligent face, he
promises to be one of the notable men of
Congress. Jonas and Vest, of Missouri,
are the small men, physically, of the
body. The former is juvenile in appear
ance, and as he walked beside the giant
from Texas appeared almost diminutive.
He has slightly Jewish face, and would
be taken generally for quick, keen
business man of thirty-four or thirty-fve
years of age. Mr.. Vest has fine head,
covered with sandy hair, sandy NOUS
tache, clear blue eye, and apparently
weak physique. Governor Vance, of
North Carolina, is one of the handsome
men Of Congress. He has bright black
eye, gray hair and moustache, fine pres.
ence, and the Southern manner and
speech. Governor Houston, of Alabama,
is ponderous in every way. He looks
the hearty, rough and ready and able
man that he is universally credited with
being. His bald head is fringed with
trife of snowy hair. and his chin is
adorned with short white whiskers. He
looks but little older than when in the
House twenty years ago. Mr.. Call of
Florida is slight man, whose face and
figure do not at all indicate the manner
of person he is. 1t was like old times to
see Chandler, Carpenter and Logan all
in row on the back tier of seats, and
little stretch of imagination would have
brought back Pomeroy, Cameron, Harlan
and Morton. Pendleton, Gentleman
George" was the best dressed and the
easiest in manner, and Jonas, of Louisi-
ana, the handsomest. He is slight in
build, young in years and gentlemanly in
bearing. He is dark complexioned and
wears small black moustache. Farley,
of California, is large and surly, with a
low forehead and bushy whiskers.
Groome, of Maryland, is young in years
and fullbodied, with a close trimmed
beard, covering the lower part of a chub-
by face.
