Congressional Morality.

We were infinitely amused, three or four
weeks ago, by practical joke in Washing
ton City upon number of the nice men OF
Congress. 1t was too good to be left unpub-
lished
4 couple of merry fellows, one of them
a distinguished member of Congress from a
Southern State, and the other distinguish
ed ex-editor from Kentucky, concocted a
letter purporting to be addressed by young
lady to-a very fine looking gentleman 1t
was gotten up in first rate style. The pre-
tended young lady set forth therein that she
had several times seen the gentleman she
was addressing, that she was captivated by
his fine face and manly form, that her heart
was deeply touched by all she saw and heard
of him, that she mast make his acquain-
tance before his departure from the city,
that she hoped and prayed he would forgive
her seeming boldness as it was the first i'm
prudent act of her life that she had always
moved and was still moving in the highest
circles of the Capital, that she would be
upon a certain square of certain street at
precisely II o'clock the following day in a
dress which she described with great partc-
ularity, and that she hoped and trusted he
WOuIu meet IeT anu tnuS SuOTu ner an Op-
pOrtunity OF brief personal intercourse with
the Idol of her heart The two wags had
between thirty and forty copies of this let
ter written by a female friend of theirs,
and they sent these copies to between thirty
and forty members OF Congress, selecting
those of course who were known to entertain
a very exalted opinion of their own person
al facinations.
Everything being thus arranged, the two
ijokers called upon US and another young
gentleman. explained what they had done,
and invited us to get into their carriage,
ride with them to the point of assignation,
and see the sights We unhestatingly con-
sentcd, and we beheld the whole of the thir-
ty or forty members, Northern men and
Southern men, Wings, Democrats, and
Know Nothipgs, walking to and fro, all gaz-
ing earnestly in every direction and at eve
ry fomalo 6snro to discover the object Of
their anxious search.
We concluded that, if few more copies
of the letter had been sent to members of
the House of Representatives. the House
would have had to adjourn for the want of a
quorum.

Expose of tlae KNOW Notl,iags.

The following is very amusing expose
Of the secrets Of the mysterious Order:
Whenever person expresses in the pre-
sence of Know Nothing strong desire to
become member of the Order, be is pri-
vately informed that he must be at certain
corner at the hour of Il, whistling Yankee
Doodle out of one corner of his mouth, and
Hail Columbia out of the other; and he
must have copy of the Constitution of the
United States in one of his boots Tor shoes,
as the case may be.) and the Declaration OF
Independence in his other boot, Tor shoe, as
the case may be;) that when person passes
him in a slouched hat. whistling the Star
Spangled Banner, he (he candidate) must
follow He will be led up dark stairway,
into dark ROOM He will then be sworn
by some person, whom the darkness con-
ceals, never TO reveal anything that he
may hear or see during the meeting
After taking this oath, light suddenly IL
Eliminates the room. and Eve men IN masks
approach the candidate, holding in their
hands the American flag, made out of 1900
yards Of American silk, which they roll
around the candidate, completely encasing
him, after the manner of an Egyptian num-
my The five then shoulder the candidate
and carry him into the lodge. Though be
cannot see be can hear, and the Great Grand
Flum-the highest oficer-administer a
terrible oath, swearing the candidate never
to reveal any Of the passwords, signs, tokens.
grips, principles, designs, or private work of
the Order, OF a penalty of being sent to the
penitentiary or the legislature If the case
is not too aggravated the violation would only
be visited upon the violator by sending him
to the penitentiary, but the extreme penalty
for violation is the Legislature.
After taking this oath, the candidate is
rolled around the room. this being the speed
lest way of unwinding the flag. He sees
the members standing around him all in
masks. The five principles are then read
to him, and after he has sworn to observe
them. he is compelled to run splinter

the index finger of his left hand, and with
the splinter and his own blood, he signs the
