The LoArER POLITICIAN IN TRouBLE.-Ihe Hon.
Eli Moore, the great Loaer and Locofoco statesman
of this city, has fallen into an awful ssrape in Wash
ington. From the accounts given by various men,
bersof Congress they passed through this city,
their way home, we have learned the whole of the
particulars, and now give them a commentary on
the wise choice and exquisite selection made by the
patriots of Tammany Hall at the last election, Eli
being then eeecred for the next Congress- and poor
John McKeen placed hors du combat
The story is this: little before the termination of
the last session, Eli was stumbling one day from one
committee room to another in the Capitol These
committee rooms are very numerous, probably twenty
or thirty in number. They are fitted mp like large
parours with beautiful carpets, elegant sofas, chairs
tables, desks and azure crimson window smtains
Some Of these are in the under stories-others
in the higher For many years the most extraordinary
ghost stories and other histories told in relation
TO them. But to our story-ElL in his ramblings
from room to room, probably like DIR. Syntax in

member of the House kneeling and protesting to a
very pretty woman, the wife of one of the govern
ment clerks and fashionable leader of the ton in
Washington society Having a taste for discovering
truth, either in politics OF in love- Eli started back

"Dear Moore, you have me entirely in yoar power,

"Oh no don't, for Gods sake, said the weeping
beauty, drawing her glove on pretty hand.
Eli promised faithfully that of the parties nothing
hould be divulged. This PROMISE however, did not
Extend to the incident ITSELF which being abstrac-
ion, a fancy's sketch-"a mere circumstance" as
hey say in the west he let out gradually and adroy.
Eli, accordingly, beng unaccsstomed to see the
splendid committee rooms devoted 10 love and friend
ship, having supposed they were only intended for
bullying, Dragging, and Safeguarding, in the case
of Wise, Peyton and Whitney, very naturally told
the story as a curious phcnomenon-gave it local
habtaton," but "no name'-and thus hoped to save
the character ofthe CAPITOL which has suffered much

prodieious noise in Washington, and found its way
into several distant papers. great excitement was
raised. "who 10 the member7' "What state is he

the session. The mputation as II stands, rests upon
the fair and unsulled reputation Of every member Of
the twcnti.fourh House of Representatives Ustl the
name is given, the whole of the PANEL involved
in the iiaison with the pre- tty angel But not only
that, every clerk at Washington from the kitchen to
the garret is in the same category. In tins state OF
the case we understand that Eli Moore may prepare
for 244 challenges from the House of Representatives,
and rs from the government departments making,
in all 3lg affairs Of honor in the aggregate, which he
must settle the moment he sets his foot IN Washing
ton in December next. II would have been better for
him to have lost his last election, than to meet such

We advise Eli Moore to resign at once-resgn and
