sentatives, which as usual, is crowded in
every nook and, corner With eags spectS-
tors, logrollers and officials. We hunt
our way to . seat on the wood box in the
corner ofthe hall. and now We behold up
on The stage1in front Of Us the Speaker, a
small, active gentleman, standing and
repeating the wcrds-"As many as are Of
opinion that the Bill should pass will say
aye" &c That is the Hon. NJ. X. Arm
strong, Of Yankton, the CONDEMNED "com-
promiser." BY bis side sits the Reporter
and Chaplain Of the House, Rev. J. 8.
Paine.
At the f'st table to the RICH, Of the
Speake, are seated the two polite and gen.
manly members from Red River, the
Hons. IL. s. Donaldson and j. Y. Buck.
man, two Of the most esteemed members
Of the Assembly. On the same side of

Homme delegation, the Hons. 9. Clifford
and X. NJ. johnson, who fought long and
hard for their contested seats during the

But who is this tall raw. boned Yankee,
who rises with his fists in his pockets, and
thundsrs out at the top of his voice, "Nr.

fierce speech lashing everybody and ever
| thing? This is the Hon. s. p. Waldrun,

county Of Charles Mix, where the enor
nous Republican frauds wee committed
on the Delegate question. Mr.. Pease WAS

dependent voter. On the oIoosite side Of
the Hall and directly in front of US, are
seated the NORWAY members, Bo:hun,
jacobson and Larson, who are az still AZ
the grave, and seldom utter syllable, ex-
cept in answer to the call Of the ro'l, when
they respond in rotation, "aye,' aye
AYE or no, no. "no.' They are
true to their constituents. But who is
that large portly member who rises yonder
on the left of the Speaker, and proceeds
with somewhat lengthy bu. well delv-
cred speech on the matter before the
House, to wit: the Blinking Bill.

and not pull his hair out for his deirous
rawlings frishten me about as much as the
