second reading Of the Old Hoss and Bunkum
Railroad Extension Bill,
Mr.. Glaggs (Ga.l stated that he should con

league IL the motion were put. The bill was
the audaeious spawn Of crawling syeophan
ey, which ought to be Indignantly kicked tc
the boltomless blazes.
Mr.. Binekes Is. c. coneured in what had
fallen from the hononbe speaker, and wished
he had the same commanding eloquence in
which TO embody the unutterable disgust which
he felt TO the ifamers Of the bill, aud for all
the despieable wretehes who had dared to speak
in It's favor.
Mr.. Samuel X. Sloddy (Pa.) had not thought
much Of the bill, but was now convinced Of
its goodness. when two such contemplate snags
as Claggs and Binckes howled against il.
Senator Binekes here crossed the floor, and

bic, began TO whip Senator Sloddy some, but
was felled TO the dust by ruler In the hands
of that patriot, 0wsins, OF Mass. He was AT
first stunned, but having liquored, resumed his
coat and seat.
Mr.. Legume (Va.) hoped the debate might
be procmstnated until more specifcal informa.
ton was before them. IL was unworthy Of the
majestic genius Of America to slogdollogize.
A voice-Who's slogdologizingl
Another voce-Greased snakes! Jerusalem!
(Sensation.)
Mr.. Hecturis, (Penn.)-The bill had been
carefully discussed on a previous occasion, and
there was no excuse for delay. He would not
impute motives to his opponents, but would
like to know where the Honorable Senator
Glaggs obtained the dollars that paid his ex.

Mr.. Glaggs-Yoa are mean, dastardly
spy.
MIR. Hectaris-You are a liar.
The Senator from Georgia here fired fou,
shots at the honorable speaker, without any
other casualty than killing Pishkang, the 81
lent Senator from Columbia, who being asleep
was unaware of the circumstance.
Mr. Hectars loudly protested against MIR.
Glaggs' shooting at him on second reading,
as being out OF order, which, strictly speak
ing, may have been the case.
Mr.. Wacklingburg (Va.) thought that they

Nh Branding (ohio) was happy to be able
10 inform the honorable member that he was
an internal falsehood monger, and that among
the promoters vera men of the most impas.
stoned intellect, and who sighed for the good
OF their great and glorious country with the
most ardent aspiration.
A voice-He means perspiration.,
Mr.. Branding knew that ribald throat, and
dared its owner to stand up.
The gigantic Luke V. Black, of Delaware,
here heaved his ponderous proportions into the
air, but Senator Branding seemed to discover
that he had something very engrossing to whis-
per to his next neighbor, and managed not to
see the Delaware Hercules, who finally set
down, not much the worse for having accepted
the defiance.
MIR. Sprittle (vt) said that although it was
as patent as the si,n in the blue hemisphere,
that til cir debates were worthy of an enlight.
ened nation. and pattern to the corrupt and
bigoted British Parliament, he thought they
lost time. He was for business and would
clench the matter by registering his solemn
oath, which he did in the face of eternal crea'
ton, that whoever tried to get that bill passed.
he would kick through yonder rnahogony.
Mr.. Sloddy was not to be bullied by lopsi-
ded crawfsh from the Green Mountains. He
begged to move, with unmitigated disdain, that
the Old Hoss and Bunkum bill be read a sec.

Mr.. Sprittle here drew lfe-preserver and
rushed toward Mr.. Sloddy, but finding the lat

first chop bowie-knives, the honorable Senator
turned aside and struck Mr.. Hectaris. who had
his hack toward him, tremendous blow from
behind, and beat him handsomely while on the
floor. Several Senators might have stopped
this, but, as they said, "their motives might
have been misunderstood by their constitu.
ents," and Jack Hectaris got about as grand a
licking as five foot eight of Pennsylvania hu-
man nature has ever taken. At the request of
several ladies who were present, the debate
was then adjourned, for chivalric Difference to
