Mr. Gisggs (Ga.) stated that he should con-
slider il n personal insn't 10 himself and his col
league ifihe motion were put. The bill was The
andaeions spawn Of crawling sycopbancy. which
ought to be Indignantly kicked to the bottomless
| bInzes
Mr.. Biuckos Is. c eoncurred in what had fall

hal the same commanding eloquence in which
10 embody the nnutterabls disgust which he felt
| FOR the trainers of the Bill, and for all the des-
! picnble wretohcs who had dared TO speak in its
| favor.
Mr.. Samuel X. Sloddy, tFaJ had not thought
much of the Bill. but was now convinced OF It's
goodness when two such contemplate snags as
Glaggs and lnckes howled against it,
Senator ijnckes here crossed the floor, andta
king off his coat. aud throwing it on the table ,bsr

to tho dust by ruler in the hand that patri-
OF. Owkins Of Mass. He was at first stunned
but having lquored resumed his cont and sent.
Mr.. Legume VA hoped the debate might be
procrastinnted until more specilcial information
was before them.

Another voce-Greased snakes Jerusalem!
(,Sfnsdt'oa.)
Mr. IInc.aris, Penn.-The bill had been care
fully discussed on previous occasion. and there
was no excuse for delay. He would not impute
motives TO its opponents, but would like to know
where the Honorable Senator Glaggs obtained
the dollars that paid his ektravagant hotel bill yes
terdny.
Mr. Glaggs.-You are a mean, dastardly spy.
Mr. Iiactaris-You are liar
The Senator from Georgia here fired four shots
at the honorable speaker, without any other cas-
ualty THAI killing plskang, the silent senator from
Columbia who, being asleep, was unaware of the
circumstance. Mr.. Hactaris loudly protested a
gainst Mr.. Glaggs shooting at him u second
reading is being out OF order, which, strictly
speaking, may have been the case.
Mr.. Wack'ingburg, Va. thought that they
were discussing the bill with almost too much heat.
The Railway wanted.
Mr. l5inckes would BIO darned if it WAS.
Mr.. Waokiinburg wanted it himself laughter
But rs il seemed to him, the only objection to
the Bill was, that the undertakers of the Raiload
were parcel of beggarly bankrupt loafers, who
would never edify pile or a rail.
Mr.. Bradng tOho) was happy to be able to in
form the honorable member that he was an infer
nal falsehood monger, and that among the promo
tiers were men of the most impassioned intellect
and who sighed for the good of their great and
glorious country with the most ardent aspiration.
A voice--llo means perspiration.
Mr.. Branding knew that ribald throat, and dar
ed its owner TO stand up.
The gigantic Luke +. Black, of Delaware here
| heaved his ponderous proportions into the arr,
! but Senator branding seemed to discover that he
| had something very engrossing to whisper to his
next neighbor, and managed not to see tho Del
ware Hercules, who finally sat down not much
! tho worse for having accepted the defiance
Mr.. Sprittle, (Vt.) said that although it was as
| patent as tho sun in the blue hemisphere, that
| their debates worthy of an enlightened ma
| ton, and pattern to the corrupt and bigotcd
British Parliament, be thought they lost time.
| He was for business and would clinch the matter
| by registering his solemn OATH which he did in
the face of eternal creation that whoever tried to
get that bill passed he would kick through yonder
mahogany.
Mr.. Sloddy was not to be bullied by n lopsided
orawish from the Green Mountains. lie begged
| to move, with unmitgated disdan that the Old
| lIoss and Bunkum bill be read second time.
Mr.. Sprttle here drew life preserver and rush
ed toward Mr.. Sloddy but finding the latter pre-
pared with one of friend Larkn's first chop bow
| ie knives, the honorable Senate, turned aside and
struck Mr.. Iectars who had his back toward him,
tremendous blow from behind, and beat him
| handsome while on tina floor Several Senator's
might have stopped this but, they said, their
| motives might be misconstrued by their constltu-
| ents,Jnck llacktaris got about grand licking
AS five foot eight of Pennsylvania human nature
has ever taken. AT tho request of several ladies
who present the debate then adjourned,
for chivalric difference to feminine influence has
ever been the characteristic Of our noble and i'm
pulsiyo patriots.
In the evening we hear that Branding and
| Waoklinburg fought duel, and that Branding
was killed, but the report has not been verified
by the last telegraps, and it certainly does not
much matter. II true, however, we trust Major
Billy +. Logger will jump about and look after
the empty place.
Since the above was written we find that it is
Waoklinburg that caught it, Virginny has
lost n good son, and has got many gooder.
