Mississippi palladium. [volume] (Holly Springs, Miss.) 1851-1852, 1852-03-04

4 correspondent of the New York
independent, writing from Washing
ton, tells the following good one of
Minister, who was not acquainted with
the ways oil the Capitol:
A gentleman, on a visit here and
anxious TO listen to the deba:es, open-
ed very cody one of the doors of the
Senate, and was about TO pass IN, when
the dcor-keeper asked:
"Are you a privileged mernberf'
"What do you mean by such a
man 7" asked the stranger. The reply
was:
"A Governor, an ex-member OF Con-
gress, or Foreign Minister"
The stranger said, 81 am Minis
ter"
"From what court or coun.rv, If
you Please 7" asked the official.
From the Ceurt OF Heaven, sir"
VERY gravely pointing up-)
To this the door-keeper waggishly
remarked, "This Government al pres
ent holds no intercourse with that for
eign powe.!"
Mississippi palladium. [volume] (Holly Springs, Miss.) 1851-1852, 1852-03-04

and Others, anu met with determined
opposition from Aessrs. Crusce, .ar-
nagin and others. Judge Fisher Of the
Higir Court, who was counsel To- sfr.
Foster, by Invitation, made statement
10 The House and, as before remarked.
Mr.. VI atson OF Hoi,y Springs also
made statement, as present counsel
of Mrs. Foster. The facts Of the case
above set forth are derived partially
from these statements.
Much Of the debate was directed 10
this amendment byway of additionai
section, which was offered by Mr.. Cru
soc: "Section-Ee it further enacted
that it shall be TIE duty Of the said
Foster, TO deliver up TO his first VIE.
al. the property acquired by the first
marriage, together with. the profits
thereof now in his poss eSsion or other
wise under his control; and that moth
ing in this Act shall be 50 construed as
TO render iliegi:inate the children OF ihc
first marriage"
After the constitutionality of this a
mendment had been fully discussed, on
motion of Mr.. Jarnagin, the bill aud
amendment were indefinitely pustpon-
ed.
