AN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES NAMES ON SILVER PLATES.
The plain little wooden strips, containing the
name OF each Senator In writing, which once told
the poSseSsor OF each desk In the Senate chamber,
have been removed and silver plates substituted
for them. Capt Bassett, the assistant sergeant
at-arms approves OF the silver plates, but he is
shocked with the manner In which the names are
inscribed. The "Mr." that always preceded the

omitted, and the simple name of the Senator,
without any prefix or title stareS one in the face
Capt BasSett thinks that great liberty, amount

The Tariff RefOrmers.


TO REDUCE THE REVENUE
Members who have arrived In the city express
the opinion that Congress Will not find time this
session to attempt any very important legislation.
Besides the appropriation bills the landgrant for
feiture question Will probably be taken up, and it
promises to bring about long and bitter fight.
Some OF the members, however, have not given up
the idea OF tackling the tariff and say that some
thing should be done this session. Mr.. Morrison, it
Is understood is primed for another fight He
looks upon the success Of the democratic party as
an Endorsement OF tarln reform, and is said to have
expressed the opinion that something could be
done TO reduce the revenue this winter.
