Great .AdministratlO n.

Said one of the Maryland electors to me,
Yesterday: We saw the President. looked
at him very closely. was anxious to meet
him. He received US very cordially. To
my mind, he is man with whom duty is
above and beyond all else. He is firm sin
cere, upright and truly loves his country"
Said Senator Kenna. 1t will be grand
administration, aud you viii see it."
MILLER.
A young man of mental and physical
strength is the new Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue; descended from German
stock like that which settled in the Cum
berland Valley, and along the banks of the
Susquehanna. He stands to the credit of
the State and think he will enlarge the
credit to the good of the Administration.
KENNA.
An earnest and intense man, is the junior
Senator going in for the honor of his State
and the good of his constituents, large
hearted and ready-handed and like John
Mccullough. somewhat the victim Of hang
ers-on. Nearly ten years ago, when kenna
sat down with me before the fire in my room
at Weston, and talked OF public measures,
knew he was a young man of force and OF
intellect and as such printed him in the
Register.
lie and Mr. Camden, man of business,
frank, cordial and kind OF heart had much
to do in keeping the coumissionership out
of complication. \ man who wants an Of
flee will find his hardest work in avoiding
entanglements, when the battle is hot one
especially.
PERSONALITIES.
It was only the other day that | met for
the first time Mr.. Wilson, Of the Second
Congressional District, my own district. l
found him what all men of letters and cul-
ture are, a man of interpretive life, look
ing like a student, and one given TO reading.
Reading makes Us grave. 1t intuses an
element OF greatness into everything about
us. 1t wide-s our horizon. 1t makes the
inward life, and the inward complete, full
fits the outward.
Judge Jackson, of the United States Dis
trict Court, has been here on his way East,
accompanied by his daughter, Mss Tillie,
who was one OF the central figures at the
Inauguration ball, with costume wondered
AZ even by Miss Grundy-cream white satin,
trimmed with elegant lace and hand en-
broidered sprays OF pink and pale yellow
roses; demi-train.
Strong in their devotion to each other are
the three Jacksons, the Governor and the
TWO brothers, each Judge; a characteristic
of descendants of the McGregors, aud the
tree from which Andrew jackson sprung.
Touching is the devotion that binds togeth-
or men who have crossed the meridian OF
life and cling togethc-, all the closer, as the
years 20 by, like the ivy to the oak.
Commissioner Miller, of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, in speaking OF the appoint
ment of young McGrlw to the Collectorship
in West Virginia, said this morning that
he did rot see how any other appointment
could be made, McGraw being recommend
ed as strongly as he was. q" If" said Mr..
Miller, - had not been on speaking terms
with McGraw l should have been in duty
bound to urge his appointment after seeing
his recommendation. Il think, " he con-
tinued, that McGraw will make a most
excellent official. He will run that office
right up to the mark, and have no doubt
but that his selection sill give general sat
isiation TO all concerned
