CONFUSION IN NAMES.


ing or reading that Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Brown,
or Mr.. Jones, has said or done something in
Congress which he could not believe said
Smith, Brown, or Jones would do. He fails
to consider that there may be more than one
Smith, and that men Of like name are not
necessarily Of like politics. For the benefit
OF large class, we volunteer the intorma-
ton that:
There are three Browns in the present Con-
gress-B. 'Gratz of Missouri, in the Senate,
William G. Of West Virginia, and James 5.
of Wisconsin in the House. Only the last
is a Copperhead
OF CHandJers, there are two-Zachariah,
of Michigan, in the Senate; Lucius H., OF
old Virginia, in the House: beside John
w Chd7,Ier of New York. Lucius H., by
the way, has not yet been admitted, but, we
presume, will be- The New Y York Chanler
is a bad egg, politically; while the one that
halls from Michigan is as good as can be.
OF CIarks, this Congress reioices in the
possession of three-Daniel of New Hamp-
Freeman. both N. Y State, in the House.
All three are sound.
OF the widespread family of Davis, Gar
ret, Border State) represents Kentucky IN
the Senate, while Henry Winter of Mary
land and Thomas T. of \. Y. State are in the
House If you hear of anything said by a
Davis that loyal man should not say, you
will attribute it, of course to Garret.
OF DiUO6s, James (Senate) halls from
Connecticut, while Nathan f. represents
Western Rhode Island. Both good
Of Hoies, John p. Of New-Hampshire Is
in the Senate James T, of Pennsylvania in
the House Both Union.
The name of Harris is unusually well re-
presented in this Congrcss-Ira represent
ing New York State in the Senate, while
Benjamin q. Of Maryland and Charles NJ
of Illinois have seats in the House. If you
hear that Mr. Harris has said anything 10y
al and patriotic, you may safely credit 1t TO
Ira
OF Hub5aras, A. W. from Iowa, John
III. from Connecticut are both in the House,
together with Calvin T. Huibord of New
York State. If Rebellion or Slavery de-
rives any aid or comfort from anything a
Hubbard or Hulburd says or does, be sure
it is some one not in Congress
OF .JOhaSORS, there are Reyerdy of Ma
ryland in the Senate, Philip of Pennsylya-
MIA and William Of Ohio in the House
Reverdy was elected as a Unionist, but we
don't brag on any Of them.
OF hetf0ggs, there are two-Francis w.
of Michigan and Orlando OF New York
both in the House, and both as good Union
lists as they make anywhere
OF Lanes, there are two-Henrv s. of
James Ii. Of Kansas-both In the
Senate and both Union
Of Mtuers, but two appear-Samuel tU-
nion) ofN. Y. State William Ii. (Coppery)
from Pennsylvania.
Of NorriHs, Lot NJ is Senator from
Maine, Justin S. representative from er-
mont-both sternly Union.
The name Of Norris belongs to two mem
bers-Daniel Union) OF New York James
r. (Coppery) from Ohio. Each is in the
House.
So Flyers is the common appellation of
Amos and Leonard of that ilk-both from
Pennsylvania and both Union
OF ONeiHs, Charles (Union) is from
Pennsylvania; John "copper" from Ohio
both are in the House
OF Ponaeroys, Samuel C. represents Kan
sas in the Senate; Theodore NJ is from n
I. State-both thoroughly Union.
There are two RaadatLs in the House
Samuel J. Of Philadelphia and William III.
Of Kentucky, OF these, the latter is u
MON, but Of the Border-Stae pattern the
other is Of the Copperhead persuasion.
Curious as 1t may seem, they usually vote
Just alike
The Smith family were scandalousy over
ooked in electing to this Congress, But
1ne of them-Green Clay, of Kentucky
was chosen. bIr. SmitIters Of Delaware
ust escaped being Smith. Both are Union
sts.
OF StecZes there are John B. from New
York and William, c. of New Jersey-Cop-
oer-fastened, both, and both in the House
The house of Rollins has two representa- |
ives-Edward III. of Hampshire Ia |
rue Unionist, and James S. of Missouri, |
who ought to be the same, but isn't He |
somehow stands aloof from parties, but his
leart seems to long for the fieshpots of the |
era
OF Wdsll6urnes Illinois sends Elihu B., |
md Massachusetts, William Booth strong |
Y Union.
OF Whites, Clinton A. and Joseph w |
both Democrats complete the catalogue. |
OF WiLsOHS, Henry of Massachusetts, is |
n the Senate, James f. of Iowa in the
Iouse-both largely Union.
Finally we have two JVoods-Fernando |
nd Ben, both of New York city. If the
politics Of one of these are better than those |
f the other we should like to know which |
5 the good one, or how any one can be worse |
han either of them.-N T. Tribune.
