DIS MolxEs, Jan. 26th, 1860.
Day BY day one may observe that some hith
crto '.nsntc inglorious Milton Or the House
rises into the notice Of the Lobby, and into
fame! The black-biri discussion, the other day,
brought out into light heap Of talent which
had previously been unknown and nnsuspected.
So too. the 'log fight had 4 tendency this way,
and profound were the arguments and brilliant
the cioquence Of the respective plcaders for the
rights Of dogs and the value Of sheep.
+ Nj. JExNIsas, Of Dubuque, has got to be quite
leader among the Democracy here. He il .
very quiet, rnodestlocking man, with something
of the air Of Jesuit priest That is to say,
one is not certain whether Mr.. J. is the most
sincere, devoted, and patriotic gentleman in the
House, with world Of kindness in his bost m
for his opponents, political or otherwise, or
whether he Is mo better than he should BE-, 2
with mighty fine airs put on. He has been on
his legs very often Of late and Is always listened
to with attention. His voice is very weak, and
the Speaker listens with his hand to his eur, 20
that be may hear. Mr.. Jennings il near-sighted
and wears golden spectacles.
II is treat to hear Mr.. LIZ LAcHrrR. lie was
seventy years old last Thursday, but is as active
as cat and as cxcitable as q boy Of sixteen
As his name indicates, he i French He has
spoken about dozen times, and always with
great energy and considerable force. He loves
to let the House know that he has read good
deal, and the exhibitions Of his learning are
sometimes dpsopos, and sometimes most ludi-
crous. There Is no sort Of use in any man try
ing to he more intensely democratic than lie
Lachenr. Az Gov Nourse says, il cant be did !!
He represents Delaware county, and az it is
strongly democratic, he represents it we'll.
RrsH CLARKE, Of johnson county, is very
young man, but man Of very fine Abilities
lie has not pushed himself rdely into the notice
Of the House in any single instance, but has
spoken two or three times, and every time briefly,
forcibly, and to the point. Iprcdict that he win
be looked upon as a leading member before long.
Like so many Of the members, he does not use
the razor at all. BY the by, the johnson county
delegation performed good deed on their wsy
hither, which | have not seen in print At
Newton, young lady in their company was
grossly insultcd by an Irish porter Of the Phelps
House, whereupon, whilst Clarke held the scoun-
gave him a glorious horse-whipping
One of the best parliamentarians in the House
is En-. WRIGHr, Of Cedar county. He has been
returned to the Assembly three times in success
sion, believe, and, Of course, he has large
legislative experience. He has been in the Chair
once or twice, and has shown that he would
make an accomplished speaker. He is consider
able Of an orator-speaks with a rapidity almost
fearful, but yet distinctly and forcibly should
take him to be some thirty-two or thirty y-three
years Of age. He is tall and slender, and the
rapidity Of his gestures takes much from thcil
effect He il Chairman Of very importan,
committee-that on Claims.
hope your readers will not think that Docto,
Bowdoin il an NJ D. He is Doctor Of Laws
that honorable degree having been conferred
upon him by the Hon. A. b. Miller, Of the Stat'
Land Ofire, and your correspondent, by virtu'
of powers granted to them, .in consideration {

Mr.. Cowing Of Poweshiek, introduced bill
this morning, prohibiting County Treasurers an,
their deputies from taking more fees for payin
taxes Of non-residents or others than they ar
authorized By law to receive. A good bill, whic
I hope may carry.
