They y married twin sisters near that point many years since, and each has a family of beautiful black eyed children of brunette complexion. They are aged fifty-seven, are quite gray-haired, and while ' they are in independent circumstances they are 1 not wealthy. Their wives are large, healthy-look- < lng women, and their country house, the only one ( we have seen, ls built of logs with puncheon floor, , and without flnlsh or decoration. They use a . Windsor chair of double width, and a bed not less than eight 'eet wide. A rustic flight of steps of [ I double width leads to Ute attic, and they pass up I l and down them without difficulty. On the occa? sion of our visit there was a four-inch snow on the ground, and as they were out gunning, we hat! to await their return.

They were exceedingly pleasant and hospitable lu their mauner, aud insisted upon a secoad visit from us." -The telegraph brings news of thc death of "England's wealthiest son," Richard Grosvenor, Marquisof Westminster. Early In thc last cen. tury one Sir Richard Grosvenor liad the good luck to marry Miss Molly Davies, thc daughter of a gentleman of much landed property In thc County of Middlesex, and in a few year.--, in consequence of thc tide of fashion setting westward, found that this same small landed estate was probably for its size destined to bc almost the most valua? ble in England. It now forms Grosvenor Square and thc adjacent streets, and in fact the greater portion of that property which, bounded south by Picadilly, north by Oxford street, cast by Bond street, and west by Par'. Lane, contained in Sidney Smith's opinion, more Intellect refine? ment aud social grace, than any other in thc world. Some eighty years ago, about thc time when George III was makiug Improvement.- nt Buckingham House, now a palace, which had been purchased as Queen Charlotte's dower house, thc swampy ground between Hyde Park corner and the Thames was ottered him for ?15 008. He declined it, and it was subsequently purchased by the Groa ven ors. Many years after it came imo their possession, a very enterprising builder, Mr. Cubitt, persuaded thc great banking house of Smith, Payne & Smith to advance money to him for drainage and building purposes, and thus arose "Belgravia," which, when the leases fall in, will probably yield the present Marquis of Westminster ?400,000 a year. Lord Westminster was a curious combination of generosity and meanness, and a hundred stories arc current il? lustrative of both these characteristics. He leaves several children. The eldest, known as Lord Grosvenor, now marquis, ls a remarkably popu? lar man in his county, Cheshire. It ls computed that the new mnrquis will have an Income of cer? tainly not less than ?700,000 pounds a year. Lord Westminster was a Liberal, but took no active part In politics. HU health has long bean in a precarious state. Political Blackball in-. If any one is so simple as to credit the dispatch, that the Congressional sub-commit? tee is coming ''to take testimony" in regard to the contested elections of Messrs. Simp? son and Reed, we recommend to him tho careful perusal of the paper read by Hon. H. X. Dawes, at the recent session of the American Social Science Association. He shows that these committees consist of a majority of the political party ruling in tho House, and that they are appointed for the sole purpose of declaring that the contest? ant belonging to that party ha3 been duly elected. The framers of the constitution assigned to ?ach house the power of deciding upon .the elections and qualifications of its own members. There are no restrictions upon the exercise ot.this prerogative. In the Sen? ate the Judiciary Committee manipulates the case ; in the House of Representatives, the Committee of Elections, whose proper business is to receive the testimony present? ed by the contestants and to decide judici? ally upon its value, but who have recently receiv?d permission to go into the contested districts and act at once as an inquisitorial jury, a prosecution, and a bench of judges. The plaintiff always belongs to their party, i II i ? ii?... tm .t-<P?j lu -lignumi him. They meet to hear his case, and to legalize his assumptions-"only this, and "nothing more." They have already made their decision before a witness bas beeu summoned. A Republican committee ap? pointed to decide with supreme authority upon the election of two Democrats signi? fies the intention of the party in power to exclude those gentlemen from the House of Representatives, whatever may haye been the majorities by which they were elected. As Mr. Dawe3 testifies, and as everybody knows, each case"of this sort is coming to be amore partisan struggle. "The com "mittee dare not resist thc exactions of "party, and their action is, in consequence, "worthy only of contempt." And the de? grading ends of their appointment, as wall as the corrupt resorts of the party now in power, appear from the fact that "while "there were only sixty cm".s during the first "sixty-five yean of tho government, there "have been more than that number within "the past ten years-over twenty of which "are uow pending." All these contestants belong to the majority. An injured Demo? crat or Conservative weil knows that an ap? peal for justice to a Radical Congressional committee would be perfectly absurd. Its members have been selected on account of their political complexion ; they have had a certain political work assigned to them; they have bee? canvased before-hand ; they go out upon their mission like excursionists upon a frolic-with all their expenses paid, and succeed in catching something, as cer? tain shrewd amateurs do, by fastening the desired fish upon the hook before it is cast into the water at all. The result is cer? tain from the beginning. A partisan speaker appoints a partisan committee, which returns a partisan report, and upon thi3 report the members vote according to their political affiliations. There is not a straw left for a minority politician to catch at. Hence while the people of Die upper districts may have determined that Messrs. Simpson and Reed shall represent them, an? other set of people, temporarily resident in Washington, have determined that they shall not. And we rather apprehend th.it | the other set will have their own way. Yet all such contesta will do good. The time will come when the people of this State and of every State will .secure to themsclvc ? by statute or amendment the right of rcpre- i senlation in Congress by persons whom they ? themselves bave elected, and not by persons 1 elected for them by a Congressional com- . fnittee. And every outrage on the ballot * will accelerate the advent of that dav. As PAR as built, the Blue Ridge Railroad liardly pays its running expenses. There tvill be no increase of business until ike road to completed, as it passes through a moun ;ain wilderness rich in beauty but poor in lopulation. Until thc last rail is spiked the State will have to p3y the interest on thc line million dollars of bonds which it is iu rited to endorse. IT IS rumored that there has been a recon ?iliation between Congressman Bowen and Alderman T. J. Mackey. The cause of thc piarrel was not wholly political, as tho Al lerman went so far as to stigmatize the Con rressman in the public prints as a thief, orger and murderer. Bowen, however, )ocketed the affront, and is now said to have nade fast friends with bis quondam villifier. Tho "Actings and Boing?" cf Congress? man Bowen. Congressman Bowen told the "gentlemen "of the Comet Star Fire Engine Company, who serenaded him on Wednesday night, that he would, in a few days, address his con? stituents omi render them a faithful account of all his "actings and doings." Tho pledge publicly give? to so distin? guished an audience will doubtless be kept Congressman Bowen knows now that "mur "der will out," and, confiding in the large? hearted charity and indulgence of thc col? ored "gentlemen of the Comet Star Fin "Engine Company" and their fellows, will be glad to make a clean breast of it and tell his constituents what manner of niau thi Bowen really is. Thc colored men whom the distinguished Congressman represents aro not, it is true, thieves, forgers and mur? derers, but they are not expected to sit ir the halls of Congress as the Radical repre? sentatives of lower Soutli Carolina. Congressman Bowen, when he renders Iii constituents the promised account of all his .'actings and doings," will not forget to ex? plain that little matter of thc Chinese faro checks stolen from a gambler in this city. Tiiis may not lie a doing, but somebody was done, and thc thief is not yet punished. Bc sides, there is the part which this C. C. Bowen is maliciously declared to have taken in burning and pillaging the town of Jack? sonville in 1SG1-2. With a breath the spot? less Congressman may clear away this cloud of arson and robbery. Nor will it bc for? gotten that C. C. Bowen-then a captain of the twenty-first battalion Georgia cavalry, C. S. A.-was tried by court-martial, found guilty and cashiered for forging pay rolls, the result being announced in general orders' from General Beauregard's headquarters. Surely Congressman Bowen will take the op? portunity of showing that he was the inno? cent victim of a damnable conspiracy, and that the honest people of Charleston aro not represented in the councils of thc nation by a convicted forger. And last of all, thc "Honorable Congressman" might amuse Iiis constituents by telling them all about Iiis arrest and imprisoment for planning thu murder of Colonel White in 1864, with a de? tailed explanation of the reasons why he was suspected and was not hung. If Congressman Bowen will only tell, in this way, the tale of his own lifc^ there is a rich treat in s^orc for all his Radical con? stituents. . Tile calumnious charges brought against him are so many and so grave, that he cannot afford to treat them with honest scorn or passive contempt-unless Con? gressman Bowen is of opinion that any sort of white man i.. good enough to represent a negro, and that lie is too good fur Iiis con? stituents, in which case he will most likely say nothing and allow the world at largo to think what they please about him.
