The Last Hours of the Session.

During the recess, the Committee of Confer. ence had agreed upon the last bill and soon alter assembling they were reported and passed both Houses one of them only being delayed until the last moment. Excitement and 1isor. der rcigncd supreme, from nine until twelve o'clock Fifty members at time Were unon their feet, or in circle around the clerks desk shouting at the top of their voices, "Mr. Sneak. cr Mt. Speaker P Ifa person wanted some idea of the confusion ot tongues at the build-
 ing of Babel the hall of the House on that morning would have afforded it. Members by scores shoutm" until red in the face, waving their papers, or swinging both arms to attract the attention of the speaker literally bawled themselves hoarse," ill their vain attempts. Cool as the eternal Al lpine SHOWS, or as Menl- non Of Egypt, the man of iron fa,e and steady nerve stood mp amid tue confusion aud clamor. rapitly uttcring the formula necessary for the passage Of each bill before the House. Occa- sionaly all eXct d or very passionate member whose claims Lad cscap attention, would be heard like q voice of thunder, saying" Mr. Speaker l rise to a question of order !' when instantly the speaker woull r,sumc his seat, and the usual coo', collected, uumoyed statue would rcSponl-' The gentleman fron.--riscs to question of ,rler." IT ivory gavtl would commence its steady, measured play, never fast. CT, never slower, until tie nirghd d tumult of l the House had Suls:drd, and then the member would state his point of ,rttr an instant de- cision of the chair would ovc rule or sus tain it; and then Ee!iom would be let loose again. i Throughout the whole scene. until the hour of twelve, though in the very heart and c, ntrc ef ;l con Eui.on worse co.,sonnlcd," no bunler, nor anger, nor pcevi>hn, ss marked the course ot that iron faced Speak r, ad the astonishing fact that not in single instance has decision of his been ovcrrulcd during this exciting Scs- sion, attcstS the wisdom of the choice which placed him there.

We invite all those friendly to the of Re form, and desirous to sustain wholesome and judi cous laws, to cooperate with us in the laudable terprse of clevafng and extending the influence Of the Enquirer Before the stock of paper now on hand is exhausted, we trust shall have received sufficient encouragement to warrant the enlarging of the shaes fo he utmost capacity of the press up on which.it is now printed. This will give at least two more columns of reading matter, and a medium for advertising worthy of. attention.
 This County should support at least one large ana influential organ devoted to it's interests, and to the interest of Northern principles Northern institu- tons and Northern e-sides-leaaing for support upon the Constitution and fearessiy defending the Northern mans rights, as guaranteed to him by this sacred enactment. We fully aware that such journal would realize nc man fortune; still it might more than support itself, giving employ ment to number of rechanics, and standing forth m object of commendable pride to the whole County.
 The Enquirer was probably never in more four shing condition than at present Its patronage re- pays the amount of labor bestowed upon it. It does not; howsser reach the standard desire for utIu 4Io ni1c anu aUiiIty dic ny Ho tlhI which County possessed of the inhabitants wealth of Litchfeld should support. Some of our towns give list of 3or4 subscribers-others none at all How can it then be expected that we shall compete with the papers of those of the larger towns of the State? ''"'
 Wake up to your own interest, good people give us little more encouragement, and depend upon it. there shall be paper published in Litchfeld, that the residents of tho County shall knew is ot ths County, which they shall be proud to claim, and which, sit goes forth to different parts of the and shall cheer the fresidc of many cabin, on prairie andi forest, as hardy Litchfeld County men point out to their children the of their kinsfolls far away who build colleges, churches and school houses and at tho same time, sustain for themselves County paper, by honestly and promptly payn!, their subscription.
