Dies MoISEs, Feb. 9th, 1860.
CAN the beauty and fashion Of the
place. was ss the Capitol yesterday. l
never saw 90 many pretty women in oil my
life. The gallery was filed with ladies,
with beauty, and with erinolins! It was
treat to folks in general, and partie-
ularly rich and luscious treat to the mar
risd members Of the House, who, it is un-
derstood, have been lately offering their
sacrifices 1t the shrine Of Venus in the shape
nanimatsd bolts Of calico-a dollar Q yard |!
But they had good time to-day.-thanks
to the femenines!
The moving cause which brought out all
this beauty a. aforesaid, was the fact that
tho regular order Of proceeding at 10 O'Clock
was the consideration Of Gov. Kirkwood's
inaugural in committee of the whole.
Mr.. Curtis, Of Marion, was in the Chair,
and rich time was had. Charley Aldrich,
the Clerk, read the FIRST portions Of the
message in clear voice and distinct articu-
lation. They were referred to tho appro.
pritas committees.
When that part Of the Inaugural relating
to John Browns Invasion Of Virginia wsa
reached, the Chairman commenced to read
It being finished, Stewart Goodrich movep
that it be referred to shs committee on
Federal Relations with instructions to report
series Of joint resolutions expressive Of
their views Of the sentiments Of the Inaug-
eral herein.
Then came on "a big time" Williams,
Of Dubuque, made very poor spsech-for
him, lie is mvn Of fine appearancs-has
very good abilities, and is something Of An
lorator. But for some reason or other he
was not cup to the OCCASION" and gained
NO new laursls to-day. Mr.. Rossncrsus
followed in fair effort, and was followed
BY Mr.. LsLacheur in mild and pointlsss
diatribs.
Mr.. Gurley, Of Scott, made the speech of
the day. think it may be said, without
dispar agement to other able speakers in the
House, that hs 10 the best orator therein
His manner is most agreeable, whilst his mat
ter is frstrate. He is . real orator. Hs
concluded BY repeating Lonsfellow's apos-
trophe to the Union, after which he was
greeted with round after round of applause
which the chairman in vain attempted to
stop.
/ Mr.. Bennett then spoke for good while.
like cyan" frstrate, was glad that his
speech was not sullied by 90 many Of bis
unusually gross personalities and unplsas-
ant exhibition of egotism. He IVES fire.
cuently interrupted by applause from the
Dem ocratic side, and 30 far in the session,
bis spSech 10 the best yet made by any
Democrat.
After Mr.. Bennett got through, the COM
mittes rose, reported progress, and the
House adjourned till this evening at ]
O'Clock, when the ball was again set in mo-
ton by most admirable speech from RUSH
CLARK, Of johnson county. Iwish l were
able to give this speech in full. II was
polished, forcible, keen, strong, eloquent.
Mr.. Clark is ono Of the youngest members
Of the House, aud one Of the abless, a. bis
speech to. night would abundantly show, had
We not also seen other evidences to the came
point in rsmarks he had before made. He
took the starch out of Williams most COM
pletely-nsvsr was man more United tina q
was "ths gentleman from Dubuque after
the handling given him BY Mr.. CLARK.
i Mr.. Pest, Of Clayton, followed Clark
His speech came rolling out Of his puckered
mouth like muttered nonsense from Dutch
lbaby-a hideous roll Of incomprehensibili-
, ties. Mr.. Pset has some very good ideas,
and like him very much a. man, but, BY
, reason Of some defect or other in his power
Of utterance, it is with great difficulty thai
be can be understood, even when he is per.
fecsly calm. When excited, as he was to,
night, you can hardly tell what be is talk
ing about.
Clay Caldwell then made regular NUM-.
Der one speech and just tore the "locofoco
I party" wide open in about forty places, ant
! left the whole thing in tattsrs sllsover. HI
hardly cleft grease spotn Of Bennett
and literally "chawed all up" the gentleman
: from Dubuque who started out on such high
j stills. His speech was energetic, pervous
and tssharp 40 tacks." Among other good
hits, he said that Fred Douglas had beer
luggsd into this discussion, and be would
!. cay that this discussion had elected thu
, proof that, Fred. Douglas told The truth
when he said that down South, they KEEP
blood. hounds to catch negroes, but in til,
North they kept Democrats for that pur.
