LEGISLATION AND LOVE.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun says that a lady relative Of
the editor Of "The Satanic" who has been
long ioiled and disappointed in woman's
natural ambition, by his highly priced but
truly fatal guardianship, is at present in
Washington, for the purpose. il is said, OF
obtaining admission iuio the United States
of matrimOny. "The little giant" is
expected TO make "the notion" not in the
Senate of course, but in the proper place -
In palmer terms, he is expected to "pOp the
question:" and should he refuse, look out
Tor change in the wind in the Herald's
SAILS. He gallanted the lady in question ut
the Presidents levee on Friday OF the week
before last; and his appearance at last
Friday evenings leyee in company with
another lady, was the subject Of remark
and speculation among the knowing ones"
in Washington. IL is true, some Of the
Douglas papers. deny the "solt impeach-
nent {" but there is reason after all to
believe in its accuracy. "The little giant"
is rich widower, owns quite number Of
negroes, and has house in Washington
much in need of mistress. Now think OF
the holiness Of the game. Could "the lit
tic giant" make q path TO the Presidency
over the ruins of the Pierce Administration.
and take Tor his partner the sister.in-law OF
the Satanic" that mission to France, ii
not place in the Cabinet, would be sure.
Wouldn't that be- Napoleonism' But alas,
clouds have already gathered over the pro-
spect.-Loireil Journal.

"A well-dressed person appeared, with
