duced bis bill granting lands OF the various States
wherein Insane A,yums exist or may herestex
exist, for the use thereof, as prayed for BY that
noble phianthropist Miss DIX He stroye to get
the bill put on its passage. Butthis objected tey
ard 30 also was even the request to fix day for IL
consideration. SEDDos OF Nlrginis detected avfal
constitutional wrongs in the movement. and he
wanted time 10 enighten the world with his const-
tutional abs actions and cOnscien tous "scrupsss
Bis csvernous eyes flashed irrepressible surprise
at the mOnstrous innovation of granting q portion
Of the vast public domain for such a purpose You
will remember that even the reception of tho ne
mortal Of Miss DIX was objected 10 when first pre-
scented. But | will do the Cnyslry the credit %
state that the objection did not come from tAsnA
The West had the credit OF that.

discussion, but was put through IN lqi'e business

copy when it was first printed.
The conclusion Of the reading Of this bill was tho
signal for demonstration az Iinst the Executive

Mississippi BROwY lsshed himself into quite Q
fGpr-distressiDgly 50, for such warm weather -
His face glowed like furnace, while bis eye gave
avery good realization OF the poets copceit OF
"pure frenzy" Bat "rolliBg' won't apply. Pop
pipg is the word. Az tim es there almost seemed
danger that bis visual organs would play quits and
leave him TO "go it blind physically. as well a.
mentally. But, after sll, what a useful lesson OF

congratulate him his luck, 10 being the first 70

union Phalanx. Doubtless, 1t will DO esteemed
honor enough Tor one day, according to the Misis-
sippi rule Of judgement.
STEPHENS Of Georgia Ia up for the next speech,
having gotten the floor before the Committee rosa
There can be little doubt a. to the course he will
take. He il sway In earnest eloquent, may say.

have q sort Of guerilla warfare on the Civil and
