SENATOR BROWNS DRESS COAT.

The new Senator from Georgia seems not
only inclined to kick over the Bourbon
traces in politics, but betrays a very lively
inclination 10 set the rules of Washington
society at defiance. Being predisposed to
colds he dresses very warmly, especially
protecting his chest His colleague, Senator
Hill, told him he must stop wearing his frock
coat to swell dinners. This he at first re-
fused to do but finally consented to get 4
full-drcss suit and have 1t ready one evening
last week, when both were TO attend n swell
dinner. Senator Hill called at the Metro
poltan Hotel for Senator Brown. The lat
ter had his overcoat on, all ready To set out
Mr. Hill asked about the dress suit, and got
an answer that 'it was all right" When
the two Senators pulled of their overcoatS
and marched into the parlor of the house
where the dinner was given, Senator
Hell was almost paralyzed. There
was a swallow tail coat on Senator
Brown, to he sure, but it was "a thing of
magnificent proportions, and looked like an
overcoat cut swallow-tail fashion Senator
Brown had ordered the tailor to make him a
llltl uItSS suit OUT VI 'i'Nh-
The order had been carried out TO the letter,
and there was the Senator arrayed in all his
glory. of course there was no ''sct" To the
coat 1t looked like a big bag. The rear
pockets appeared rs if the wearer brought
his dinner with him, equally divided between
the two. Senator Brown had TO sit on the
coat tails all the time TO prevent their climb
ing up to his neck. 1t was truly IL wonder
ful costume Upon leaving the house SEN
ator Hill took Senator Brown To task about
his suit. but could get no satisfaction. Il
am not going to wear one of those thin
things and catch my death of cold. If so
ciety demands coat cut like goose-quill,
have got one. If people don't like it,
can wear my frock-coat. | have gone as far
as am going toward what You call a dress
suit, D." said Senator Brown. That ends it;
and Senator Brown will appear in his beaver
cloth swallow tail, his frock-coat, or not at

English Liberals were rather inclined to
award the epithet by prc-cminence to the

liberator of half Italy and last, but not

The Electoral Count resolutions adopted
by the Democratic caucus passed the Senate
on Thursday without a division, though not
without debate Mr. Edmunds made an eff
fort to amend them by providing that the
count should lie ciade in the Senate chamber
and not in the Hall of the House. He said
that as the President of the Senate was the
custodian OF the Electoral certificates, 1t FOL
lowed that the Senate Chamber was the prop
or place for their deposit and the time
might come when the carrying of these ar
chivcs Il distance of an eighth OF mile to
the Hall Of the House, through crowd Of
menand in 4 time of great excitement, would
be an act imperilling their safety. Senator
Thurman pleaded the custom of seventy
years standing Of having the Senate so over
to the House, and it was reaflirmed by a
party vote of 81 TO 90. Senator Hoar oh
jected to the resolutions on the ground that
the disputed questions, which on close vote
like that of 1876 become SO dangerous to
the peace of the country, are merely shclved
and not settled Senator Blane referred to
them as "a makeshift," and expressed the
hope that before 1881 the National verdict
would be placed, by the passage of positive
law, beyond the control Of any political party.
Senator Eaton made an effort TO have the
resolutions amended so as TO decide the
mootcd question of whether the President OF
the Senate has the right TO count and declare
the result, or whether he is merely minis
terial officer, charged with the duty OF an
nouncing the result of the count as made up
for him. Mr.. Eaton's amendment would
have made his duties merely ministerial
This, of course, was practically destructive
of the compromise which the resolutions
were intended to embody, and Senator Hill
reminded his Connecticut colleague that the
business in hand was TO cross the stream
when the waters were quiet, by a pontoon,
and when We have got over this time it will
be our duty TO put up permanent struc-
ture." The Eaton amendment was lost, -
to -, several Democratic Senators voting
against it, and the resolutions were passed
The House will pass them; and the votes
will be counted, and the result will b. de
clared by Wee President Wheeler, next

TnE cases of the stealing of Charlie Ross
and the theft of A. r. Stewards body have
one popularity in common; the culprits are
well known TO the detectives, yet the diff
Guilty of securing the return Of child or body
seems insurmountablc. The Ross case is
brought up afresh by the discharge from
prison of Westervclt, who was Il pal Of
MOsher and Douglas, who were the capt0Fs
Of Charlie Ross. Westcrvcll has been inter
viewed since his release, and declares that
he knows nothing about the present where
abouts of Charlie, though he believes
him to he alive but there are
reasons To suspect that Westervelt
knows more than he has yet told. lie was in
negotiation, shortly before the killing Of
Moshcr, for the surrender Of the boy 10 the
police :. meeting preliminary TO the final
surrender Of the child was arranged by
Weslervelt, AMI but for the overLeal of a de
tectivc, whom Moshcr discovered watching
the rendezvous selected, the boy would prob
ably have been returned. If Wesiervet
knows Of the childs whereabouts he is not
likely to tell without reward and the prom

additional offensc incurred in concealing
