WASHINGTON, June s, 1860.

W AShlNStpNs Outt ASOOs
As vou enter the gallery OF the Senate
and the House you will see before fat
white-mnrble desk number of young men,
whose pens move with rapidity wonder
ful 10 behold. These are the regular re-
porters, paid by Congress. who take down
in shorthand all that is said hy the Seua-
tors and Representatives. and write it out
for the organ of the two Houses, the Daily
GloLe. The industry of these gentlemen
is as remarkable as their genius and intel
ligeuce. They do not lose word or a
syllable that is spoken, and often put II
decent dress upon some most ungrammeti-
cal and ungenteel expressions. Taking
their places at eleven o'clock, they labor
till the close of the session, which fire.
quently consumes SIX. and yesterday and
Wednesday lasted twenty-five hours
Then, when the members retire to their
residences, to dine and rest, the heavy
lahors of the reporters may be said really
to begin. From the PhonograPhic hieTo-
glyphics they write out full reports
for the Globe, and this often conipels
them to toll till long. after midnight
Incredible as it may seem, they have
each frequently reported and prepared
for the press ten closely printed columns
in a single day. and tho four reporters in
the House will hand over to Mr. Rives. of
the Gkohe, to-day, ninety columns OF TINS
matter, being full and detailed account
of the long session which began on We'd
nesdny at IL y. NJ, and extended into
Thursday ut IL. How they bear up under
this pressure it is difficult to explIin; but
they seem TO be as bright and as healthy
as any of the members whose wise saws
and foolish speeches they send TO the wait
ing world. Their pay is rather liberal,
but they earn double what they get That
these faithful and hard working men
should not be able to please everybody, is
natural, but it is strange that any member
should conceive il to be right to deprecate
their labors, and even to declare that they
nre not accurate in their reports, And yet
so it is The D0iIV Globe is one of the
mnrvcls of the age, and though it contains
! frequently a vast amount of trash, it will
be an invaluable compendium for the his
torian, and monument of American leg
islation. 1t may be improved, but it ought
never to be abandoned. Mr.. Rives, the
publisher, is coming vast sums out Of his
enterprise. which exctcs deal OF rivalry
among those whose mouths are always
watering for the Plums of power, and lie
himselfis getting over fond Of these plums'
| But he has energy and experience and do
not covet his fortune.

In 1857, Foster bolted the Democratic caucus

Forncy has shown the people of this country,

do his enemies great harm. We can do with

prove to be the fact, we yet firmly believe
that Douglas will carry the State The sup

Lincoln is elected, he will find that his sup

pass that body. And yet, some of the Breck

will be dissolved whenever Lincoln is inaug-
