Scenes in the Kentucky Assembly Of $3.50.

TIE rage for passing and Introducing bills
for the enactment of laws, construction Of
railroads, with banking privileges in them
times, was much sought and asked for, and
more particularly during this session.
When Col. Memmenger was sent by the
Legislature Of South Carolina to address the
Joint houses Of the State Of Kentucky, ask
ing the right of way, with banking privileges,
for bill called the Southwestern Railroad,
which bill had been passed by the South
Carolina legislature Col. Memmenger full
filled his mission like a statesman, and drew
comments of admiration from all who listen
ed to him.
Tie South Carolina Commissioner was
answered by many of the leading members
Of both houses, many for and against grant
ing the right of way. Towards the close of
tie debate, Mr.. Finn, a good fellow, and a
son Of Erin, who had been elected from one
Of the mountain districts, came in for his
share, full of fire and democratic enthusiasm.
Springing to his feet, and obtaining the
floor, he demanded to be heard: "Mr. Speak
er, Mr.. Speaker GO on, Mr.. Finn; 90
on, SIR" a am opposed to all monopolies.
I am opposed to all institutions to establish

An Organic Difficulty

A parish in the west part Of England,
after much effort lately purchased q self act
ing organ, warranted to play twenty tunes,
and a larger congregation than usual met to
inaugurate it. The first psalm had Teen sue
cessfully brought to an end, when, after a
short pause, the organ chose to commence
psalm tune number two. In vain, the olici-
ating persons endeavored to stop it; in vain
the church wardens left their own pews to
stife the noise-sti,l the organ, as though
uncontrollably pleased with its own execu
ton, kept on with the new air. Wat WAS
to / e done? The service was suspended, in
the hope that the musical stranger might be
content when the second tune was played
out. Vain expectation. 1t commenced mum
ber three.-aud nothing remained but to
carry the instrument into the chuchyard,
and there to cover it up with the ves:ry
carpet to choke It's voice, for on and on it
went, till the number Of twenty tunes had
been played out, much to the editication Of
the less attentive part OF the congregation,
who could only hear halfsmothered melodies.
