Mr.. LAKE and Mr. BARNHART were hay

admits that he caught but sentence or
two of the conversation, and yet on the
strength of those detached sentences,
bears testimony as to the assertions made,
and, as was to be expected, lestifes to
what is wrong. Mr. BARNHARr came to
Mr.. LAKE, and wanted the latter to say
that he OBJ had not admitted that he
told Mr. DOMAIN that he came to us to
make the arrangement about publishing
the tax list whereby we were TO do the
work and he secure proportion Of the,
pay. Mr. LAKE told him that he could
not do that. for he OBJ certainly. did SO
admit. Mr. LAKE told him, however,
that he did not hear him admit what
proportion of the price he wanted, and
il was this sentence that ScARcLIFF heard,
as Mr.. LAKE has since shown him. Mr..
LAKE still most empha,ically asserts, as
he told Mr.. BARNAART, that the latter did
admit telling Mr.. DOMAIN that he came
to US to make the proposed arrangement.
and BARNHART makes very lame at

EE Now that all the candidates are
in the feld-now that the contest is full

Buchanan County to sem well the names
composing the three tickets. and ask
themselves which party deserves most
for the men which it presents which
party presents men the most fitted, by
intellect by experience; by practical
knowledge, by mental and moral charac
teristcs, for the posts for which they are
assigned. And we defy any candid man
to do otherwise than give the palm to the
Republican nominees. We do not wish
to detract from the capacities Of The men
on the other tickets. Each ticket has on
it some good men, men Of good social
| qualites-men of good business quail
ties-mcn who would well fill the posi-
tons TO which they aspire. But they I'M
questionably, as whole, do not present
that adaptability to their respective posi-
tons that the men on the Republican
ticket do We don't care to make indi

will refer to the qualifications Of our own

WAanINeroN, Feb. %.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.
Congress Ind its real sensation to-day.
Al ten minutes past o'clock this after
noon, while the Senators were Willing a
tedious debate on tho Appropriation bill,
the door Of the main entrance Of the
Chamber swung earlossly open, and who
should enter but Mr.. Seward and the
President elect, The Senators started
to their feet; the crowds in the CALLER
les instantly recognized Mr.. Lincoln, and
a general sensation perVaded the Cham
Der.
Mr. Lincoln stood in tho main en-
trance for few moments, and was in
troduced to several Republican Soma
tors. llo was then escorted oyer on the
east side Of the Chy9.nReTi. wharH hat
Notwithstanding the rush around him,
az soon as Mr., Douglas saw him, he has
tily walked across the hall and greeted
hm cordially.
Tho galleries here became 30 excited
that the Senate suspended business till
order was restored. The ladies rushed
almost frantically for tho FIRST seats in the
galleries, whilo most Of tho gentlemsn
arose so as to get view Of the Presi-
dent elect.
Mr.. Seward lsft him for a moment,
and crossed the Chamber, and asked Ma
sou Of Virginia if he would not take an
introduction. The latter smiled and de-
clinod, but took occasion TO glance up
and get a sight Of Mr.. Lincoln, who was
then escorted 10 the Southern side Of tho !
Chamber, and Messrs. Latham, Bright,
Rice, Green, Johnson, Fitch and KennO-
dy, were introduced.
Mr.. Green seemed very anxious to be-
como well acquainted with him, for he ev-
identity got OF joke, at which all laugh
ed. Mr.. Lincoln was int reduced to Mr. !
Sickles, and th9n passed out Of tho pri- |
vuto entrance Of the Senate, SO adroit.
y was tho escape managed, that the peo- |
pie failed to crowd the private halls Of
the Capitol, through which he passed.
A similar scene to that above describ- |
ed, took place when Mr., Lincoln entered
ths House. The Republican members
ilocked around him, and there was quite
a busy scene Of shaking hands.
On the Southern side Of tho HouIe
several Of tho Kentucky and Tennessee
