The REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE
House OF REPRESENTATIVES The
Washington CORES pondent ofthe New
York Times writes as follows:
One troLble arising from the obsti.
nate silence kept by the Republicans,
is the impossibility which it presents
Of giving pictures ofther leading men
to your readers. They sit like mar.
BILE statues on their sofas, sometimes
attempting to read newspapers during
such speeches as that made by Otho
K. Singleton, OF Mississippi; some.
times laying their heads together for
a moment and conversing in whispers;
sometimes pairing and fling their
nails, as if life had no other object
than a pretty hand; sometimes yawn-
ing stretching their legs, and locking
their hands behind their heads to indi-
cate extreme weariness; and every
half hour or so, bursting out into de.
risive laugh, when the keynote for
such performance has been souDded
by Benjamin Stanton, OF Ohio, OF
Schuyler Coltax, Of Indiana. "Voto
vote !" is their cry from the cessation
of morning prayers to the moment Of
adjournment; and except for their hn.
man figures and human voices, It
might be. thought that ninety.one
Democrats, twenty-three South Amer,
leans, and five Anti Lecompton men
were attempting to talk sense into one
hundred and twelve parrots, who had
learned only this ore cry: Vote, votel
Vote, vote! Vote, vote !"
