More Wing Compliments to the WhiI

We find the following in the Jennings county Re-
porter. The favorable notice of Mr. Petit is well de-
served:
The House of Representatives is made up of every
variety Of men; there are several very young men,
and number of very old men, remarkably hand
some, and good many that arc horrid ugly, of
every trade, profession and pretension-and body,
is particularly remarkable for the number Of Short
suffering senseless poness speeches that made.
Every member has mething to say every question
merely for the sake, am inclined TO believe, of
seeing in the next mornings paper, that such SUBJ
ject being called up MesSrs. Stapp, Tngley Stophlet
Jones of Fountain, Rich, and Wright advocated and
Messrs. Hazerigg, Grubs Spoons, and Spunk opposed
it In speeches of considerable length, which means,
generally, about dozen words. But the House has
Its ornament and the very dignifed and genlemanly
young Representative of Miami and Wabash, Mr..
PETIT, is of them. He did himself infinite credit
in speech In relation to bill which he introduced,
providing for the restoration of the burnt records Of
Miami county, Friday last Though entirely local
its provisions, the bill met with serious opposition,
for what cause did not learn 1t is great pity that
such men are not elected to the legislature

The coming session of Parliament is
dreaded by MANY weak and delicate MEM

to be groundless, for the heated atmos-
phere of the wretchedly inefficient and
contracted committee rooms, crowded TO
sufiocation with the members OF the COM
mittee, with witnesses, with barristers,
engineers and others, during the greater
part of the day, is enough TO paralyse
sensitive nerves, to say nothing of the
midnight legislation, OF which the morn
ing's labor is only the precursor. Upon
the whole, whether we view the crash
wich is now dealing precuniary destruc-

the drain upon the national resources,
which the carving out of so many new
projects will entail upon the future
whether we glance at the fearful tlerange-

follow in the train of these adventures, as
surely as the flash precedes the rolling
