BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE, May 1S-l2P.I

The House of Representatives, in Con-
sress assembled, seems to be in rather an
unpleasant eondition. By this time, if
till in session, the business must have
,,come quite monotonous. Nothing very
spicy, rich, or rccy, as usual upon such
occasions, has yet grown out of the con-
fusion. Would it not be advisable to
kick up little bit of row? Irecollect
once being in the Capitol when Congress
remained in session only over night, and
until seven o'clock on Sunday morning.
During that brief reriod, there were two
fights in the House, and one in the
Senate. Besides this, there was any
quantity of brandy and good ice-water to
be found IN almost every committee.room.
Two-thirds or more of the grave leeisla-
tors had crooks in their hats" whilst
their friends were also well loaded. These
things served to give variety, to dissipate
somnolency, and make the whole scene
one of peculiar interest. The friends of
our Baltimore representatives have some
idea OF appointing committee, whose
duty 1t shall De to go over and see that
they are well-fed.
Seriously speaking, this manuvering is
disgraceful, and must bring reproach upon
the prime movers. 1t is evident to all
that there is clear majority in the House
favorable to the measure IN question, and
upon the acknowledged republican prin-
cIple that a majority of the representa-
tlVes expresses the majority and will of
The people, there should be no hesitancy

is chosen for this purpose, and not to
waste time In reSortlng to shameful SUBJ
terfuges for the purpose of defeating the
popular will. l am seriously inclined to
suspect the honesty and patriotism of

are, who would do as they have been do.

resentatives, would be to colonize them
IN Liberia, Monroyia, or some other suit
able place on the coast of Africa, and
make Horace Greedy, Mr.. Giddings, or
some other similar individual governor.
1t now appears from recent dispatches
received, that ex-President Fillmore will
arrive IN our city somewhat sooner than
was anticipated-probably tomorrow, or
certainly by Monday next. 1t has been
determined, therefore, to call town meet
ing Tomorrow, for the purpose of making
arrangements to receive and bestow upon
him appropriate tributes of respect. A
very large committee has been appointed
BY the City Council to aid in honorine
the occasion. Mayor Hollins also takes
part in the ceremonies, being by courtesy
and custom, presiding officer. have no
doubt the whole thing will be arranged
and done up handsomely.
The friends IF Mrs. Young in this civ
are highly delighted with the handsome
concert given her last night by your cit
liens, and especially pleased at her tri-
umphant success; also with the favorable
and very hatterlng notices given in your
papers. Her object is, not only to gain
q support, but to rear and educate inter
esting children, of whom she is the sole
protector.
