The q ODE of this morning contained manifesto
OF a most extraordinary character. 1t deneunces a
clique in the House, and wkich suppose can
be designated by any ran at the Capi'O as a body
,of drunken, bullying, gambling bankrupt, and
cowardly scoundrels.
1t is pretty well under stood here who Mr. Eynum
refers to; but, whether the individuals 10 HON he
has applied the epithets have quoted are entitled
10 them or not, do not know. / never saw any Of
them trunk, and do go into any of the gaming
houses OF the city, cannot say whether they
are noo Dsackiegs, or white legs, yeiOU legs or no
Iega. u they ara IN the habit of gong the Taber-
nacle 10 pray, is very possible that they now and
hen have a love feast with yellow legs.
After all the quarrels and DC "a that w. have

Well, saw three, at an early hour this morning
on my return from the mail, who were as drunk
owls. One was so drunk that he coald not get
his boots on the other too far gone 10 be aware
that his pantaloons were not buttoned the third
able 70 stand ups but to his soul, he could
not speak. Poor devils, they were in a sad way and
yet it is to<he collective wisdom of such sound and
sober sages that The doctrines Of this republic are
coRfdsd.

In the House of Representatives today, Mr. Dun
can held this floor all day, in discussing the New
Jersey contested election. His speech was very
long and elaborate; it embraced vast quantity Of
documentary matter and the loeofooos said it was a
mastery speech-the wings said IT was id nor
sense. | say netting about il, as did not hear
House on motion Of Mr.. Bolts Of Virginia, adjoarn-
ed. Mr.. Bolts is new member, and tom o.row will
make his maiden speech. shall look out for him,
In the Senate, Col. Benton's BILL for the armed
occupation and settlement OF Florida, taken up;
and, after Mr. Clay Of Alabama, had made speech
in favor of it, II was passed
A bill was passed, making appropriation Of some
fifty or a hundred thousand dollars TO continue the
clearing of Red River Raft.
This Red River Raft is getting to be a mighty bad
business IL has already cost twice as maca money
S the Erie Canal and there appears to be end to
it, Would il not be quite well to let the raft
alone till there is at least probability that
will be waniedt
Nothing else of any importance was done in the
Senate.
The House has not yet elected its chaplain and
the fifty candidates are getting very thirsty They
are as dry, most Of rhem as a line kiln Shchan and
city bone have both stopped heir liquor, bota hav-
ing abandcne1 the credit system.
Yours, with the permits sion Of Slicer,
