OLD House. OF REPREsENTATIvfs.-The fur
niture of the hall of the House of Represen-
tative at Washington was sold, last Thus
day at public auction. We copy from an
accout of the sale:
A considerable portion of it was in a
damaged condition, and so great was the
competition, were competition was least ex-
pected, that a single armchair, with writing
accompaniment, was knocked down ten
dollars and q quarter, instead of five or six
dollars that the purchaser had made up his
mind to give. Those old chairs, many of
them with screws loose, brought an aver
age of three dollars a piece, and the carpet
wac sold at about eight cents a yard.
The opening announcement of the auction
eer, Mr.. Fisher-"Terms cash nothing de-
livered until paid for'-we feared would
dampen the spirits of the bidders; but as
that worthy gentlemen commenced with
hand irons Congressional handirons mind
YOU which We're Knocked down at a very
low figure, confidence seemed to be per-
fectly restored; and from that time to the
end of the sale, there was no fagging-no
hesitation in the bidding.
The first of the desks Of the old members
sold was that occupied for so many years
by the Hon. j. r. Giddings, Of Ohio. who,
until the last session of Congress, was re-
markable for his persistent opposition to
the institution of slavery and its extension.
When the desk was put up, we looked
around for Black Republicans, supposing
that they would be eager to obtain the
prize. After a moments pause, one Of them
went "a dollar and a half" a second feebly
cried out "a dollar seventy-ives while a
third artictlated 1.-TWO dollars" 1t was
here that We thought the bidding would
cease 50 long did the auctioneer dwell upon
the words Two dollars, going. going, going
but Just as the word gone was struggling
for utterance,-a forth gentleman bid two
and a quarter" and the desk was sold.
The desk and chair occupied by the Hon.
John Quincy Adams brought $50. The
bidding for this furniture was quite animat-.
ed, and it wal remarked by the b~vstanders
that in Massachusetts it would command
$500. The desks occupied by Col. Benton,
and Mr.. McDufie ofSouth Carolina, brought
1926 q piece; the desk occupied by Col.
Brooks run up to 80, and that used by
Governor Wise sold for So. Upon the re.
nainder Of the furniture the bidding was
very brisk, and the competition became
very great. We understand that the total
sales amounted to between two and three
thousand dollars.
