W,sHINGToN, Jan. David Bennett
uul bushed with pride in the Senate to-day
Al his face looked like one Of the gorgeous
....obes Of Americas beauties which some
.-o,vmous fair friend bad placed on his
S,sL Il was literally the proudess moment
This life when he took his seat, even if it
!. ,amporarily and physically back seat in
,hs sanste. Not of course that he values
,ss sena torial seat compared with the Presi-
a.rrs or even the gubernatorial chair, but
b.csuse his admirers among the DEM
.,..,s Of the Senate and House made
=. much fuss over him as if he
had been elected president pro tenpore Of
| ,ss Senate instead of freshman member
~ that body. Really. if Senator Hill
oonld be embarrassed he would hap been
embarrassed by the unprecedented atten~
lions these admirers showered upon him.
When Senator Sherman, the greatest in
telIect in the Republican party, returns
triumphant from his victory over Ex~t]ov.
Foraker he will not have such demonstra-
non. No one in our day has had IL, not
syan Logan after his last senatorial victory,
when the Illinois representatives come over
from the House to join the republican
senator's IN welcoming him back.
A DELEGATION TO SEE HILL.
Fully forty democrats, mostly from the
s-uth and west, came over from the House to
sse Senator Hill take the oath and seat. They
ware headed by Representative Catchings
of Mississippi, Hill enthusiastic, who is
Speaker Crisp's closest friend. Chief Lieu
tenant Whiting Of Michigan, of the ways
and means committee. and Representative
Newberry Of Illinois were among the west
ern men. Mr.. Catchings was the
onlv leader, new or old, in the crowd.
Neither Representative HOLMAN nor Repre-
sentative Springer appeared, and of course
none Of the old guard in the House. After
Senator,hIll had come out of the democratic
cloak room, where he had been chatting
with democratic senator's, Senators German,
Brice and Colquitt being the most promi~
Deat, during the chaplGin's prayer and had
gore down on the arm Of the nonchalant
sni lethargic Hiscock. who announced his
presence most abruptly, and had taken the
iron-clad oath as administered by Vice
President Norton, and had been es-
rtsd back to his seat by Senator
Brce he held a regular levee,
A HAND SHAKING.
Headed by Mr. Catchirgs the forty
House democrats formed in line and we're
led past, shaking Senator Hills hand. They
were congrsJulating him on his recent work
in New York as we'll as on his arrival in
Washington, notwithstanding the rapping
to order OF the Vice Presidents gavel. Then
when the democratic representatives had
gone the democratic senators shook his
band, Senators Villas and Carlisle among
the rest, Til finally Senator Gorman took
him away to the democratic consulta-
hon room uCstairs. There is no doubt
mat much Of this greeting was for effect
and that much of the rest Of it was due to
DIS recent success. Senator Hill was given
Dis committee places to-day, aud was noti-
he'd that s. 1853 33 accrued salary was await
ing bis order. It is said that upon the
ADVICE OF Senator German he will draw it
ana then hand it back to be converted into
Tue treasury.
