Bedlam Correspondence.
BEDLAM, Dec. %.
No progress has been made since my
last.
This morning, amidst the greatest
confusion, Mr.. Sawyer arose, eating q
sausage, and moved an adjournment.
Mr.. Booby moved to lay the sausage
on the table. The motion was violently
opposed by the Ohio members, and in
deed by the united sausage interest.
Mr.. Sawyer inquired of the clerk il
sausages were debateabIe. The clerk
replied that none were debateable, but

Without the slightest provocation, Mr.
Gobble walked deliberately up to Mr.
Noddle and knocked him down with a
slnng shot. Immense cheering. Cries
from all quarters that Mr.. Noddle had
the floor. Mr.. Noodle had the floor
Mr. Noddle feebly articulated, that he
was aware of it, and being unable to

was objected to, and Mr.. Noddle had to
lie over one day. Mr.. Jiddngs moved
a reconsideration. Mr.. SAWYER called

and were entirely reconciled, amidst tu,

lately elected member from Rumdom,
that the ancient precedent of the Horalii
and Curatil should be adopted, and that a
committee of three should be chosen by
the wings, and three by the locos, to
fight for the choice of speaker.
Mr.. Bundle moved, that the house re-
solve itself into committee of the
whole, and proposed to chuck for speak
er.
Mr.. Frizzle moved, that the member,
who could jump highest over string,
should be Speaker
At this moment, Mr.. Flash, one ofthe
Southern members, rose, trembling with
agitation, and froihing at the mouth,
aud, with eyes full Of fire and faggots
inquired if the members from the North
and Eas, meant anything personal, by
looking at him. At this moment there
was every indication of a general fight.
Mr. Sawyer was seen to swallow the fac
end of his sausage in haste and roll up
his sleeves-the corpulent members

that even Bedlam would be dlsgraced
Luckily, at this instant, when the things
were at the worst, bona fde jackass-
