wonder Is that they make no more mistakes than
they do, thrust as they almost out of hearing
of the speakers below, and located in the gallery in
the midst of talking and noise. He said thew ought
to be located on the floor of the Senate where thew

look for the news of his arrival
Mr.. Benton was not in the Senate to-day-nor
