The Conklinj-Sprauge Cosiip. Emma Janes, the correspendent of the Sacramento Record-Union, writes from Washington to that paper about the recent scandal concerning Sena tor Rosooe Conkling aud Mrs. Kate Chsse Sprague, daughter of the late lamented Chief Justice of the United Slates. in connection with the great speech lately delivered by the Sena tor: The face of all facts, in that gallery, was that oi Mr, Kate Cbaic Spra gue, who entered under the ee oort ot Senator Conkling's private secretary, for whom and herself tronl seata were reserved, the wives and daughters ot Congressmen being dis placed to make room for them when they came in. The ladiea thus sum marily disgrunted, sat down en the gallery steps aud looked things "per fectly awful" about that hprague Conk ling romance. Mrs. Sprague, though forty-three or tour, bus by her native charms and appliances of Hrt, preserved her youth most consummately. S'le was dress ed in a dark blue silk, which set oil' her rich auburn-brown hair.

Not long ago there was a church wedding, as largo ami fashionable as could be de sired, but at the entrance and only one door was allowed lo be open was stationed a detective for the pur pose ot preventing the entrance of a certain underbred individual, while near the officiating clergyman waa posted a lawyer, armed with all the legal documents needed to show, it any one raised the question, there was no good reason why the marriage should be stayed. The cause tor all these preparations was due to the in considerate ncss ot a young lady wbo had a year or two before been mar ried, in sport, to an unprincipled ac quaintance, by a man who turned out lo bu a Judge, or Justice of the Peace, or aome other authority, and in consequence f this lact ber life had been made miserable by tho as sertions of the temperary bridegroom that he would not permit her to be married to anyone else. As il turned out, no attempt at interference was made, aud the pieeautlors taken were, therefore, needless; but that they were even thought to be neces sary indicates an amount of uneasi-.. lies which no one would care to lightly assume.
