AT the residences OF many Senators numerous
visitors We're received yesterday, and spring
bcnnets and suits were out in large force.
Mrs. Blaine welcomed number OF those who
had enjoyed the hospitality OF the Senator and
herself at their Saturday soirees In March.
Secretary and Mrs. Evarts entertained guests
at dinner last evening, and Senator and Mrs.
Don. Cameron gave dinner party Wednesday
The flowers adorning both these feasts were as
cnOlce as lne company which enjoyed them.
1t is said that there were sixteen fashIonable
weddings in New York on Tuesday of this week
and nearly as many the following day. The
uTldal couples are numerous now fn all the fash.
ionable hotels in Washington. Two of those
VINO were married Tuesday In New York-Mr
ana Mrs. Stedman, and Mr.. and Mrs. ANTHONY
arrived at the Riggs House yesterday.
ChaialohkOfn, ReX, is the style In which the
the young klng OF slams visiting cards are en-
grayed.
There was large and fashionabl attendance
at Miss Eva HendefSOn's complimentary benefit
last evening, and the little star of the evening
received several floral tributes and no end OF
applause. All who took part acquitted them
selves with great credit. The only Complaint
made was that which is usual at amateur enter
tainments-that the program was TOO long.
Judge and Mrs. Ferris, to the great pleasure
OF all who know them, have decided TO remain
here through the present month.
Major Richard Contee and wife. of MARYLAND.
who have been living for the past five or six
of the Russian Minister Catacazy, will leave
here on Sunday to visit their uncle Lord John
Contee Fairfax, at his beautiful home sNorth-
ampton." Major COntee will also proceed TO his
own home, Iona" preparatory to visit he ex-
pectS there from Senator Sharon OF Nebraska.

Political Notes.

Erie county, Pa, has elected a divided dele
gallon TO the democratic state convention three
OF the five delegates favoring Mr. Tilden The
convention passed resolution favoring the
state sending an uninstructed delegation to

The New York World declares that Governor
Seymour must take the helm in the present
feud OF the democratic party In that state,
whether he consents to run for the presidency
or not.
The republicans have chosen all their dele

Island. New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana. Kan

SIN figures out the presidential preferences of
these delegates as follows: Blaine 109 Grant 81
sherman IS, Edmunds 10. The Sun expresses
the belfef that the delegates will be allowed to
express their preferences without regard to the
instructions or state conventions"
The Cincinnati Commercial says that since
Secretary Shermans visit to Ohio, Jew months
ago, his cause has not been well handled In
some quarters there has been treachery. In
others malice. and in still others the f1aoby
front OF incapability has loomed.'' This remark
was probably Intended to refer to Ohio, but a
good many OF MI. Sherman's friends entertain
the opinion that ii will forcibly apply else.
