IN episode occurred today ;a the senate
Chamber, to which no pen but that ofa Dickens
could DO justice. Tie Senate IS .r-e.F-l5 AL
exceedingly grave and formal body. hut its gra-
witty was this morning transformed into urr.ar-
ious disorder. Several bills were sent in from
the House, TO change the names Of suudry PER-
s9us, and constitute them heirs-at-law Of suuIIy
other persons. Senator Reed opposed the second
reading, AMI gave as o. substantial reason ior SO
doing, that there is a general law applicable to
all such eases, by which names can be changed
on application TO the Probate Court. The SEN
ate unanimously refused the second reliing, and
proceeded to DO the same with several successive
bills, till one Of the Senators, ~ his eagerucss,
answered no. when the ayes were called 4
for. 4 slight smile ripplei around the cham
Der, gathering in strength as it went Bills Of .
the same kind continued TO be presented, and /
the risihles Of the Senators became more aud .
more disturbed. The President and Secretary
had thus far kept their faces in good order, but
iAe secretary's voice began to tremb.e with the
Effort to restrain himself as be read the bills the
irst time. To relieve him, Senator gaspel out
a motion that the bills be read by their titles
only, but it came too late. and as the Secretary
attempted to read an unusually ridiculous name,
&c broke dowa completely, the President iol-
owed suit, and the Senate was compelled to adj

would call 'skremos Of lafture.' Ifsome nod

But as sedate as if meditating upon

slight twinkle in his eyes indicating that any -

The House this afternoon had the rare expe-
enee Of an executive veto. and exhibited much
ore respect for it than Congress shows for
ldy's performances in that line. The Cover d
