The House then proceeded q tie ecusideration Of
the bill directing the SecFssaEy Of the Treasury to

Britain, under the treaty Of Gatat various 60
The citizens Of Virginia. Marylaad and South Caro-
Ina to compensate them for the loss Of their slaves
carried away By the British during the Of 1912
AF. Bliss, tOpp.,) Of Ohio, argued that these
claims instead Of being embraced Ia are expressly
excluded By that treaty.
Mr.. Garrett, (Adm.,) Of Va, replied, saying that
the Governor Of Virginia was interested IN the bill,
and that under the slaves are 70 be paid for ct the
rate Of $3.50 per head which vas ridiculously low.
Whenever the subject Of the slave is mentioned, the
gentleman from Ohio (blr. Blss1 and his elder col
league SIR Giddings) seem afflicted with species
Of maduess, like dogs afflicted With hydrOphObia.
Great Britain gave round sun for the satisfaction
Of these claims and IL vas for the United States
make the disbursement. The gentleman from Ohio,
trustee would keep She money in his pocket for
his own use, and not psy il to Wkom it vas due.
Would he pay il for slaves
Mr.. Giddings, (OpPs) Of Ohio, said-If It vas 70
be paid 10 Democrats
Mr. Garrett replied that the Governor Of Virginia
is q Democrat, and he Eanled the gentleman 70 be
more definite.
Mr. Giddings said he had answered according to
the gentlemans remark about mad dogs, which was
ungsntlemanly and eOWsrdly.
Mr.. Gsrnet said nothing more could be expeoted

ness Of heart and who was guilty Of treason against
his country and his God
The Sneaker eallad him To order for making per
sonal remarks.
Mr.. Garnett said the Speaker should have re-
strained the gentleman from Ohio
Mr.. Giddings withdrew his remark. He emily
wanted 10 show his appreciation Of the gentleman
charge, and not 10 insult the House.
Mr.. Garnett-I have nothing TO FstTaet.
Mr.. Giddings-Nor l.
Mr.. Garnett-The member has long since plassd
himself beyond the pale Of notiee from gentlemen.
The bill vas referred "a the COMMITTEES OF The
Whole House.
We have a correspondent in Georgia who OYerfoWs
with coed things, and is slWays welcome to the
Drawer. He sends rs the following;
Judge Dolly, an eminent jarist in Georgia forty
years ago, vas great Wsg As we'll as great judge
witty as wen as wise. His gravity gave effect
to his jokes and these were more frequent than
bis decisions One Of his fancies Vas 70 take people
down who we're in the habit Of sxaggeratiOn. The
way he used up Austin Edwards, keeper Of the hotel
st Elbertson, is 9 caution to I'll stOFy-tellers, Of
whom Austin was the prince. he always told the
whole truth, sad more "It was Rstteral, he said;
she liked uncommon things better than common
Ones-tEas heap more smusin' anyhow" One
morning the breakfast table this longbOW landlord
had been relating one Of his extra ordinary yarns
and Judge DOOly, being at the hotel and listening to
the story in sat solemn silencoWhen il vas over, and
then remarked that he had an awful dream in the
night, and was very much depressed this morning
The landlord Wss awake in q moment, and begged /
the Judge, lit would be no violence to his feelings
10 relate the dream, all Wouldhke to hear it. The
Judge stin declined as it might hurt the feelings Of
others
sob, do tell t. Judgs-We must hsVe it p urged
the landlord, and the company joining in, the Judge
proceeded IS If he were about to sentence orimi
nal to be hung:
aWeH dreamed LAST night that two lawyers aud
myself had retredtO pl Vats room 70 divide among
US fee received from h-.a case, which had been
carried through with mighty deal Of lying on all
hands. While we we're settling the division in steps
the devil, Who without any formslity, said be had
come for us-we had told lies enough, and if he
left US any longer might repent, and be |
would lose US. We did our best to persuade him 10
let or but be was memorable, ill at last Ventured
10 ask bin II he would take 3 substitute.
"'Whom do you offer :" he asked
/" Austin EDWARDS said, keeper Of the Ebert
son Hotel I
''.GOOd he'll do said he, send him along. III I
lake him for all three Of you :"
The table was in roar and the landlord was cured
for time al least, Of his habit Of over drawing lie
passed away few years since, and Judge D0Oly is
gone too, 50 there is no harm done in telling the
