y PRACTICAL LEGIsLAroR An anus
ing scene in the Legislature Of Penu,ylva
ma occurred on motion to remove the
capital Of the State from Harrisburg to
Philadelphia. A matter. of.ract member
from the rural districts, who had heard
OF the great facilities with which brick
houses are moved from one part OF the
city to another, ana who had not the
least idea that anything but moving the
State House WAS in contemplation, rose
and said
"Mr. Speaker, ] have no objection to
the motion, but don't see how on airth
YOU are going TO get it over the river"
A similar anecdole is told Of back
woods member who WAS in this CITY At
the time our South Carolina Legislature
were discussing iho removal OF the Capi
toI. A wag of the City or Parishes, took
his country friend around the State
House. (now the Court IIousc) and con
suited his practical wisdom rs TO the pos
s'bihtv Of removal. IL was enough, and
on entering the Hall Of Representatives
the country member eagerly caught the
speakers eye and delivered his opinion.
"Mr Speaker, I've studied this question,
and I've looked all round this ere house,
and tell you. sir, that all the oxen and
