Lass winter. Editor Richie Of the Union being
Sir Oracle at W ashineton the organ ofthe Govern
msnt and wbipper.in Of Congress correspondent
wrote GO ocular account Of the way in which Mr.
Vim. Sawyer, LocoFo Representative from
Ohio, vas in the habit Of going behind the Speaker
Chair and eating his luncheon in the Representa-
tiv.s' Hall We Published that account, in perfect
good nature with everybody wbereupon, Mr.
Sawyer, admitting its essential truth, brought his
grievance before the House, end the majority
instantly expelled all Reporters and Correspondents
Of The Tribune from its Hall without allowing
time for word Of expansion or apology. And
The Union obiquely approved and Justified the act.
Thu winter the times happen 10 be bravely al.
tered. The Union is the organ Of the President
only, and cracks its whip over the head Of Congress
with ludicrous incficiency. It's Editor undertakes
70 make up 10 violence Of language for his loss Of
influence and, few days since. when the Senate
refused 20 concur ia certain amendments Of the
House 10 the Ten Regiments bill, he published an
original article denouncing the decision as o Mezi
can victory. and declaring that the MeIicans ob
tanned another victory in the Senate today" &c &c
For this gross insult. the Senate after waiting to
afford ample time for disavowsl or apology, voted
not % deny the Union through its Reporters the
common privileges Of the Senate, as we with the
Unions approval, were denied those Of the House
for little badnage based on fact toward q single
Member--not to take away from him his enormous
ly lucrative monopoly Of its the Senate q printing
out Of which be is making thousands after thousands
of dollsrs-but simply 10 withdraw from him bis
extraordinary privilege Of entering upon the floor
Of the sonnte--a privilege never accorded TO nor
sought by us, nor by more than half dozen out Of
the two thousand Editors Of the country. This
mild rebuke for the most o1tre geous osperson and
calumny is taken 10 heart by the Union as though
IL were ut once treason sscregc and disrospectful
70 "the Resolutions of es" The burning Of the
Capitol would have been trihe TO it. Such an ex-
hibiton Of udicrous rage and fury is not made more
than twice a century.-And yet we are half inclined
10 side against the senatethat Is, 20 hold that It
would have better consulted its own dignity by
taking no notice OF silly diatribe in newspaper.
But Tor the facts that the Union is the Senate own
Printer and its Editor enjoyed peculiar privileges
on ia Hoor, we should take ground for Mr. Richie
decidedly. As things are, we hold that It's acton
was right bat that inacton would, # practicable,
have been wiser The Senate can acquire no dig
