CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
TIVES. ....

.
1t will be seen, by reference to the Con-
gressional proceedings, that the House of
Representatives, on yesterday, elected al
Clerk and Sergeant-at-Arms, thus progress
ing considerably with the organization, and
placing that body in position to take upI
the business of legislation. To the impor-
tant office of Clerk, John W. Forney, editor
of the Philadelphia Press, has been chosen
by one vote more than the number absolute
| ly required to elect, and by substantially the
same members who voted for Pennington for
Speaker. na ll j. .neu.H,il rroa 4.
The attitude of Mr.. Forney at the present
moment, invites attention and comment,
and affords striking illustration of the
vagaries of politicians. He had always
been an active Democrat, was Clerk of the
House when there was Democratic MAORI
ty in that body, and was one of the most
prominent supporters of Mr.. Blehanau's
nomination and election. Here his Democ
racy eliminated, and with his failure to
receive an important Office under his fayorite
President, commenced his warfare upon the
party, and his journey towards Republican,
ism. At first, he was professed Douglas
man, but as his hatred Of the Administra,
ton became intensified, he substantially
abandoned Douglas, disregarded his advice
and bargained with the Republicans to sell
out " the Peoples party of Pennsylvania
} for the Cerkship of the House. He has
received the stipulated reward; and we shall
now see whether those who sympathized with
him in his Douglas movement will consent
to be transferred to the Republican ranks
with their chief. r.,
This is a sad picture, and exhibits in q
deplorable light the vagaries of politicians
From an intense Democrat, Mr.. Forney has
without apparent cause other than persona
hostility to the President, severed bis poit
cal ties and thrown himself into the arms o.
the party which he had previously opposed
with all his energies. We do not undertake
+ to pronounce upon the merits of his quarre
: with the President but if all that he alleges
be true, it furnishes no decent justification
for the utter abandonment of principle
evinced in his recent conduct. Hencefortl
Mr.. Forney must be classed with the Re
publicans; position, when we consider hi
former professions and associations, whicl
. must be deeply mortifying to his selfrospeot
3 and utterly fail to command the confdenc
even of his new political associates.

TIE FoLLIEs OF A NIGHT.

Not thousand miles from here lives one
James P, or as he is Familiarity
known among his host of friends, Jim.
Now the aforesaid Jim is an eccentric, in
every sense of the word, yet morever gener.
Gus, nobe-hearted, and possessed of more
genuine courage than usually falls to the
lot Of man. The following is, as nearly as
we can give it, "a relation of nights adven-
ture:
One morning we met him in the street,
looking rather melancholy, when be said
Yesterday / felt little bad, and mark
you, l went and took a small drink, and
that not improving my feelings, l took an
other and another, don't you observe, and
finally | got little tight
In the evening went into the country
with friend, mark you, and thinking J.
would cool off, l took several more drinks
when got there, don't you observe; yet
strange to say, the more drank the tighter
got, until mark you, was totally uncon-
scious when | went to bed. During the
night l woke up, don't you observe, and 1
could not imagine where the mischief was,
mark you. The room was as dark as Egypt.
| heard clock strike two in some part of
the house, mark you became very anxious
to learn my whereabouts, don't you observe,
and for that purpose arose from my bed,
mark you, and after stumbling over about
dozen chairs, don't you observe, came to
a table. Now, mark you, reflected that
the generality Of apartments are perfect or
an oblong square, dou't you observe, and,
moreover, that the generality of tables are
square, and deduced from this, mark you,
that, by feeling along the table until cams
to a corner l could get off at right angles
and reach corner of the room, and by that
guide by the wall to q door or window, don't
you observe. Following out this idea, mark
you, 1 began carefully to feel along the
edge of the aforesaid table, and fually gain,
ling confidence, l went little faster Tie
idea struck me that it was a blamed long
table, that 1 could not get TO g corner don't
you observe yet pcis.voral and finally
day broke, and when sufficient light had
penetrated the apartment, I saw, mark you.
that I had been following blamed round
table all night, looking for corner, don't
you observe. "-Philadelphia Post.
