The people who llko to gossip and see mountains In molehills weio greatly dis turbed ono day last week when It was learned that the governor had closed to the public all doors to the executive olllcoa save one. All sorts of comments were made on tills Innova tion , nnd homebodv attempted to see some thing dreadful In the fact till the explanation was learned , nnd now everybody is witiMiod. The executive chambers , four In number , nro all connected with tlio governor's private room In the contro opening Into the looms of his ehiof clerk nnd of his pilvnto secretary , oacli of the rooms opening into the corridors. Heretofore tlio public had been accustomed to enter nt each door and attack the governor fore nnd aft , giving him no chance whatever lor privacy when ho deslrwl It. Ho might bo occupied with callers , and so Instinct his private secretary , when somebody would bolt in upon him from the clerk's room nnd vice versa. So to avoid nil confusion hu hns ar ranged that the public , to whom ho Is always accessible , shall come to his room through tlio olllco of iho private secretary.

The untinishcd business of tlio senate Is thn bill providing for the creation of agricultural experiment stations.

The c.xocutlvo cilomlar of nominations reported from committees Is said to bo a long one , but it is thought a few of the cases will provoke discussion.

[ Correspondence of the HII ; : , ] Tlio population of the Unituil States is more tluui lifty millions , and out of thuso 1 suppose only n few thousand arc aware Hint a codu of pro- ccdonco prevails at Washington , as vigor ous as at St. Petersburg or St. James. The sturdy democrat , who nuvor dlnus with senators or cabinet ministers , would stand amazed if ho know tlio disputes about rank and place which sometimes asit.-Uo these exalted dignitaries ; while the Kuropcnn diplomatist , accredited to a capital where he has been told that the pompous otiquetlo of courts was long ngo discarded , must fool himself quite at homo when ho I'mds the company elab orately arranging itself according to its degrees. Evorywhcio el o in the "Great Republic" the most accomplished and iU tincu ! ! u < d circles are content to dis pense with tliisausumption of the prerog atives of aristocracy. The hosts dispose their guests in such order as they plea e. 'Iht'.v may honor the stranger , or the newly married , or accord to ago or great personal distinction of whaiever sort , a special recognition ; but , after this , there is no preteneo of determining the relative position of individuals. In a gentle man's house all gentlemen and ladies are equal in riiicago or Hostoi : , or i'hiladel- phia or Js'cvv York ; but in SOriCTV AT THi : CAPITAL the representatives of democracy are as un-democr.itic as the couriers or chain- bnrlains of Vienna , or Madrid , or Home. Some of their etiquette is doubtless handed down from thodavsof the fathers , and especially from the father of his country himself , who JiKPtl ceremonies and titles and runic , and though a very staunch republican politically , was not at all a democrat socially. Ho stood on a dais when ho received , and the bow that was made to him was not very diU'ciout from the obeisance ollerod to European sovereigns of the sterner sex today. But .Jollerson had been in Franco and im bibed the notions of the French demo cracy on llic.M ) points. Ho believed in equality as well as liberty , and there was little ceremony in the executive presence in his time , iliiman nature , however , is very human : n.d the later presidents and presidents' wives , ami .senators , and judges , and cabinet minis ters , with their wives , likud to assert their own peculiar dignity. Then , too , the diplomatic corps assisted to leaven the lump of radicalism , anil the Scripture tells us that a little loavcn goes a very great way. Jackson , it is true , turned back the tide that was betting in favor of forms , but Van Huron was as courtly as Jackson was uncouth , while Buchanan had been to London and seen the queen , and Mis niece. Miss Lane , had presided over his establishment ; their inlincncc was all on the bide of ceremony. Jiut after all , it is not the presidents nor their families who regulate the ollicial society of Washing ton , but the next grade of functionaries judges , senators and cabinet ministers ; and these functionaries were as punctili ous under Lincoln , who scouted forms asunder. AKTIIUlt , "WHO ADOIICU TUKM. It is they who establish the code of precedence , under which they precede. According to this code which , like the British constitution , is unwritten , the president and his wife are first ; then the vice president and the chief justice , but nobody is quite certain which of these are ahead ; it is often neck and neck be tween them going into dinner and cau tious people don't invite them both on the same occasion , for fear of storms , Next are the associate judges of the supreme court. though sometimes the speaker steps in and claims a place among them or even before them. Then como the senators and cabinet ollicors , between whom the fiercest rivalry lias raged from time immemorial. Tlio cabinet people seem to themselves and to the world ( but not to tlio senate ) , to bo the govern ment ; every now and then they call them selves "tho court circle ; " they are of course the ollicial family of the head of the state ; they can dispense a good many favors ; their receptions are more crowded than senatorial parties ; they consider , or at least their wives do , that they should precede the senators and the senators' families , especially since SIX'KUTAUV HAYAHO has become heir presumptive to the dem ocratic throne. Unt the senators are very conscious of the dignity of their position. They represent sovereign states ; they are not elected by the people , and were meant by the fathers to counteract the popular element. They were intended to bo the nearest approach to an aristocracy that our form of government allows , and they remember the intention. They call them selves the upper house , they ratify treaties , and above all they confirm or reject the nominations of the president , oven those of envoys and cabinet minis ters. Power in Washington is moro im portant than anything else , and the sen ate possescs moro power , at least in the way of appeal , than the administration , So the members assort thcmoclvcrf. Originally , it is baid in history , the sen ate was a very dignified body its mem bers were returned for many successive terms ; they wore men who belonged to the old Colonial aristocracy which held itsclt aloof from , and above the pcoplo as distinctly as the landed gentry docs to-day in England. The tradition of this has descended ; much of the dignity , it is true , lias evaporated , but the recollection of the personal consideration still lingers and the women of the family make the most of it. It is amusing to watch some ot these Indies. Many arrive in Wash ington knowing nothing of the social usages that prevail there ; ignor ant of the very meaning of precedence ; not nwaro that pcoplo over go into dinner in any peculiar order or with any significance. They wear high bodied gowns and unfashionable gloves when they first ( Jinn out and make their husbands put on yellow cravats to "look like other men. " Hut all this changes in a single season. JJcforo the end ot the llrat session they learn to get their gowns from Paris and their gloves from -whoever is tlio most the mode ; while about the etiquette of visits and the place they insist on at the table they arc as inllo\ible as if they had boon born at the white house and never boon out of sight of the eapitol. Governor Morgan told mo A SrOKY OF HIS OWN EXTKltlKNOE that shows how much the tenatorial neophyte has to learn. Ho had to be governor - ornor of Now York and of course famil iar with public and social life in Albany and elsewhere ; but when ho became sen ator the question of precedence was en tirely now to him. Ho gave a dinner at which Seward , then secretary of state , was present , as well ns Sir Frederick llruco , the Jhitish minister , and Mr , Tassara , the Spanish envoy , Tassara was the senior , or dean , ai iris called , of the diplomatic corps ; havingservrii longest at Washington ; and bv the rules established at the Congress of Vienna tlio question of precedence is seitlcd among diploumiats according to the seniority of their survieu at any Dar ticular court or capital. Governor Mor know nothing of this rule , and when dinner was Announced lie asked Sir Frederick Bruco.to'tako out Mrs. Mor gan , "But 1 can't do that"said Sir Fred erick , "It is Tiwara's right. He is the dean.1 'Tshawl exclaimed the gover nor , " 1 don't card who is dean , England is n greater country Jllinn Spain , ami you ought to go bcforp fi Spaniard. " Bruce in Ids diliemma appealed to Stnvard and Seward went up , toMonran. , "My dear governor you nnifit let Tassara take out Sirs. Morgan or hc'Jl write to Ins govern ment and the whole state department will bo in trouble' " 'In order to avoid an international nhiUiro the governor yielded , and the ' ili ' lomatie rules vtoio observed. These rules , however , arc often disre garded , if not unknown , among many who fancy themselves familiar with the etiquette of precedence in Washington. 1 have seen UI.AIIINO INSTAKCn OK VIOLATION1 among the diplomatists shall always have precedence in American houses , and give it to Americans over otiier di- polomatists in their own. Their first duty is to the country to which they are accredited ; but only the other night at a ball at the British legation , the two daughters of the minister danced the co tillon with members of other legation , instead of with Americans ; a for which his Excellency would have been called to account at more than one European court. But he probably thought the Americans did not know the rules , and his sin would be undetected ; which was hardly fair , , for the diplomats usually assume to know and practice all the etiquettes and to set an example to barbarous republicans. But how aio wo to learn , if our teachers are at fault ? Not only in America , but elsewhere , I have observed that diplomatic squabbles are continuous. The envoys cither do not know their own code , or perpetually transcress it , and then some one else complains. The rules are supposed to avoid the necessity for discussion , and moro than one or two. or a do/en Eng lish aristocrats have said to me : "How do you Americans manairo without pre cedence ? 1 .should thit.k there would bo a constant ililTiculty.1' But it is the rules that make the dilli- eulty ; they don't obviate it at all. No trouble on these points ever arises in America except at Washington ; but the capital is the scene of inces sant wrangling about etiquette. Mr. Thornton , when ho was British minister , once said to mo : " 1 wish it was the es tablished rule that under nil circum stances , I was to go last. If the matter were settlcdi that would bo my place , and I should bo satisfied. " But what an undiplomatic sentiment I Most ministers would have desired to bo always first , and their wives , certainly ; but last ! shades of Vutcl and Hugo Grotis. what a heresy I The remark of the minister and the lamentable uncertainty of preccdcpce in Washington , suggest an idea. Why should not congress regulate the whole all'air , and settle the places of the LAIHTS Ain : TIIKIK HUSBANDS ? It is true tlio constituents might think there was no reason tor degrees among men or women , oven fenators and judges and cabinet members' and their wives ; ( the poor representatives hardly aspire tea a place in the line at all , and as lor army and navy ollicers , they are beneath men tion ) . But the mnitcr might bo argued on the stump , and the people educated. The public opinion , I fear , is not entirely right. Americans rs yet do not admit that these who hold place or power for two or three years are so much higher and bolter than the rest of the world , and there arc circles where to bo a poli tician is a decided disadvantage. Some pretentious fashionables pretend to look down on a man engaged in the n flairs of the nation , just as English nrristocrats look dowd on these same fashionables because the.y are engaged in professions or in trade. The iieod of a proper senti ment is pressing. The masses iiiuft bo elevated into an appreciation of the rights and rand of their rulers. If a written cede weio enacted we should bo able to set an example to for- ei < : n aristocrats , who base precedence on real rank , and defend jt as a part of a sv.stom , a necessary adjunct of nobility. Wo could show that it may be founded on the most short-lived grandeur and un substantial consequence ; that it requires neither distinction , norcharactcr , nor at tainment , nor ago , which in certain spheres are supposed to reasons for social deference -but only rotation in ofliec. Like Joga's pnrso , "twas mine , 'tis yours , and may bo slaves to thousands.1' But above all wo could definitely extend I'jtr.CKDF.N'Ci : TOvivis. : . TJio English , whom I mention because they arc so generally acknowledged as models for our bocial study the English scorn the idea of a prime minister's wife having rank because of the otlieirl posi- sion ot her husband. Mrs. Gladstone fol lowed every peeress in the land when Mr. Gladstone was at the head of the govern ment , and oven the wifq ot the Archishop of Canterbury gees behind the wife of an inferior bishop who happens to bo nobler by birth. JJut wo should give the wife of judge precedence forever over the wife of a senator , and entitle the wife of a cabi- ncnt member to the lirst visit from ovciy American woman not in the government. Then there would be no moro Now i'car's disputes at the white house ; no one could ask "whogavo these ladies the place they demand'or "To what ofiico were they elected or appointed ? " As it is , thcao questions are embarrassing , and the ladies should bo relieved. The rank of the widows would of course be determined , and the place of the sons of senators , and the sons' wives. Thcro is a mighty task before the legislators , and 1 fear a still mightier before the po litical orators. For the question must bo introduced at every public meeting be fore the elections , and the people must bo taught exactly the degree of respect they should apportion to those who want their votes. The voters' wives must learn what tlio senrtors1 wives expect from them , and then wo shall know whether the system is popular. Till then I withold my opinion. ADAM BADKAU.
