A JUST REruKE AND WISE PETIT,

Aust REDUKE AND A WISE PETITION
A private letter from Washington, dated
March IL, has the following:
yesterday, in the Senate, the chaplain
prayed the following words: "To the Senate
of the United States and our rulers, give
brains, BRAINS. BRAINS, OIL Lordfo Two
of the Senators had their faces covered up
with their hands but Happened through
their fingers, to glance at each other, and, lit

they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. 1 am in
debted to my friend, Robert er, Esq, for
the removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and
for encoura cement to try them, when suffering
from great and long continued debility: The use
of three } ottles of these Bitters, at the beginning

THE RESOLUTIONS OF cENsURE.

The resolutions of expulsion and censure
of Mr.. Free, for striking a member, and the
report of the Judiciary Committee, and the
resolutions annexed, were taken up.
Mr.. Mayo said there were two specifications
in the report of the Judiciary Committee, in
reference to what he said, which were wilful
m~isstatements and MISREPRESENTATION of what
he said. That was all he had to say.
The substitute of the judiciary Committee
for the resolution to expel Free, was adopted
by a party vote-yeas SO, nays Is. The res
%elutions censuring MessIs. Free and Mayo to-
gether-one for making a cowardly attack, and
tho other because he was the innocent subject
OF the brutal assault, we're passed-yeas 40,

Mr.. Dressed then offered the protest of the
Democratic members of the House against the
action of that body, in consuming Mr.. Mayo
for language spoken in debate, in the dis
charge of his duty, as q Representative. The
protest places out of view all questions of ap-
proval or disappreval of the language used by
Mr.. Mayo, and bases the objections upon pure
ly parliamentary considerations. Mr.. Mayo
was not arraigned for any disorderly words
or conduct, or for any offense against the or
der, safety or dignity Of This body, which alone

be held responsible by his fellow members for

lions, unauthorized by the Constitution, and
dangerous to the peace of legislative delibera-

"A Sad story.

4
The New York World relates the story of
a man whose business had been ruined and
himself thrown out of employment by the war,
determined to enlist. He went with wife and
child voluntarily to Lafayette Hall and stated
his purpose. One of the runners at that
place Immediately stepped up and claimed
that he had brought this man up as a recruit,
and actually received the bounty money, pay
ing the recruit $3.50 and pocketing the re-
mainder. OF course the man was surprised
and indignant, and demonstrated that he
came there to enlist, aud he was in earnest,
but he desired to get three hundred dollars to
leave with his family; that he never knew
the runner or saw him before that he came
there without agent or broker and was emit
tied to all his money. To the lasting disgrace
OF officials present, his story was indeed
ed, he had enlisted, signed his papers, and
there was no help for him. He was obliged
to obey the peremptory order of the guard to
go below, and with. tears swelling up his
strong heart, he kissed his wife and little one,
gave them the $3.50 and vent down with the
guard
