spawn Of . crawling sycophancy, which ought to
be Indignantly kicked 70 the botfomless blaxes
Mr.. Binckes Is, @ concurred In what had fallen
from the honorable speaker. and wished he had
tue san,o commanding eloquence IN which TO ern-
body the unntterabe disgust which he felt for the
wretches who had dared 70 speak in its favor.
Mr. Samuel X. Sioddy tra) had not thought
much of the Ban, but was now convinced of its
goodness when two such contemplate snags as
Glsggs and Binckes howled against IL, 4
Senator Binckes here crossed the floor, and to.
King of his coat, and throwing II on the table, be-
gan 10 whip Senator Sloddy some, but was felled
TO the dust by ruler In the hand of that patriot
Ow kins Of Mass. He was at first stunned but
having liquored resumed his coat and seat
Mr.. Legume (fa) hoped the debate might be
procrastinated until more speciicial information
was before them 1t WAS unworthy of the ms les
tic genius of America to slogdolloeize.
A Voice-Who's slogdollogizipgi
Another Voice--Greased snakes Jerusalem /!

Mr. Hsctaris, Penn The bill had been careful.
ly discussed on . previous OCCASION and there was
no excuse for delay. He would not impute mo-
tiyes to Its opponents, but would like to know
where the Honorable Senator Glaggs obtained the
dollars that paid his extravagant hotel bill yester
day. !
Mr.. Glaggs-You are mean dastardly spy.
Dir. Hactatis-You are q liar. -,
The Senator from Georgia here fired four shots
At the houorxhle speaker, without any other casl.
aIity than killing Piskang the silent senator from
Columbia, who, being asleep. was unaware of the
circumstance Mr.. Hactaris loudly protested against
Mr. Gagg's shooting at him on second reading
as being out of order which, strictly speaking, may
Mr. Wacklingburg, Va, thought that they were
discussing the bill with almost too much heat The
Railway was wanted sta Sz ,7stg-5
Mr.. Bnckes would be darned If II was
Mr.. Wacklngburg wanted it himself laughter |
But, as it seemed to hin. the only objection to the
Bill was, that the undertakers of the Railroad were
parcel of beggarly bankrupt loafers, who would
never edify pile or rail.
Mr.. Branding (Ohio) was happy to be able to in.
form the honorable member that he was an infer.
nal falsehood monger, and that among the promo
ters were men of the most impassioned intellect
and who sighed for the good of their great and gIo
rious country with the most ardent aspiration.
A Voice-He means perspiration- .
Mr.. Branding knew that ribald throat, and dared
its owner to stand mp. s% st1sz
The gigantic Luke " Black, of Delaware, here
heaved his ponderous proportions into the air. but
Senator Branding seemed to discover that be had
something very engrossing to whisper to his next
Hercules, ho finally set down, not much the worse
for having accepted the defiance.
Mr.. Sprittle (Vt) said that although 1t was as pa
tent IS the sun in the blue hemisphere, that their
debates were worthy of enlightened patioa
snd pattern to the corrupt apd bigoted British
Parliament, he thought they lost time. He was
for business. and would clench the matter by re-
gisteripg bis solemn oath which he did in the face
of eternal creation that whoever tried TO get that
bill passed he would kick through yonder inahoga.

Mr., Sloddy was net to be bullied by alopsided
crawfish from the Green Mountains. He begged
to move, with unmtigated 6isdain, that the Old
Hoss and Bunkum bill be read q second time
Mr.. Spritte here drew q iifepreserver and rush
ed toward Mr.. Sloddy, but finding the latter pre-
pared with one of our friend Larkins frst-chop
bowie knives the honorable Senator turned aside
and strReksMr. Hsctaris who had his back toward
him, tremendous blow from behind, and beat
him handsome while on the floor. Several Sena.
tors might have stopped this; but, they said,
their natives might be misconstrued by their con
stituents." and Jack Hacktaris got about as grand
licking as five foot eight of Pennsy lvana human
nature has ever taken. at the request Of several
ladies who we're present, the debate was then
uence has ever been the characteristic of our no.
BILE and impulsve patriots.
In the evening we hear that Branding and Wack.
liz burg fought duel, and that Branding was kill.
ed but the report has not been verified by the last
telegraPhs and it certainly does not much matter
Iftrue, however, we trust Major Billy +. Logger
will jump about and look after the empty place.
Since the above was written we find that it il
Wacklnburg that caught it. Virgnny has lost
good son, and has got many goOder.
