Humors of Revolution.

Honorable gentlemen in the Washington
Congress are an exceedingly jovial body
Of men, according to their peculiar taste
in hilarity. When they shall have set
aside the Supreme Court and the Presi-
dent, and shall be, themselves the whole
Government and "supreme law" it will
perhaps be some consolation to us to be
ruled by q club Of such very gay compa-
Mons. If they are themselves to discuss
and determine directly questions Of life
and death. OF conascation, impeachment,
and Acknowledgement without court, law,
or yeto-to issue their edicts through their
own clerks, and execute them by their
own officers, We may be sure that they will
ct least treat all these matters with much
merry laughter, comic singing, and gene
raj sky-larking, which win greatly amuse
their negro auditory in the galleries. The
other day, while the House was occupied
upon q bin Of Mr.. BourwEI1,s TO o;ve
Congress the power Of appointing the off.
csrs Of the Supreme Court who are to Mead
4 within It's walls, the debate, we find vas
eniivened BY some extremely jolly mo-
ttons and observations. Mr.. Rosrns moved
s0s an appropriation to supply the House
8 with ham sandwiches on their desks !: and
I ~. PIKE suggested that all fines imposed
should 60 for the drinks. Mr.. ELpR1poE
requested Mr.. GsISsELL TO favor the com.
paDy with the song Of Old John Brown
whereupon Mr.. GRIxNELL brought down
. the House by asking Mr.. ELDRIDoE to sing
his popular song Of

long letter to Forney in regard to the

The NEW TEsT-oATH BILL.-The we'll
informed Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Gazette says:
eff the bill should receive the sanction
of two-thirds of both Houses, and the SUI
preme Court should declare it to be un-
constitutional, and therefore refuse to COM
ply with its requirements, (Which will
doubtless be the case,) there can be now
no longer doubt but that Congress at its
next session would resort to impeachment
of the Judges simultaneously with SINH
lar process against the Executive. The
naked po,cer of the House to impeach, and
the Senate to try executive and judicial Of
fcerS, is relied upon as authority enough
by the revolutionists to anahilate the BAL
ances OF the Constitution and usurp the
whole power of the country. 1t has been
well said that although there is not q
statesman, in the proper sense of the term,
among the Radicals in Congress, cunning
politicians are abundant enough. There
is no lack of ingenious contrivances to ac-
complish their ends, but these in their Ill
innate bearing ere manifestly destructive
of their own interests, as we'll as that Of
the country at large; and herein we dis
cover the unmistakable distinction between
| craftsmanship and political quackery."

-On Thursday evening, a lady of
Troy, N. T., sitting in her room, was
instantaneously oppressed with the con-
yiction that her little son had fallen from
the window in his sleeping apartment to
the ground below. She repelled the
thought as an impossibility. In few
moments moro it flashed upon her mind
with such force that she was unable to re-
sist it. She hurried to the bedside of her
son, and there, to her intense horror, she
discovered the lad sleeping upon the win
dow sill, the window open, his head pro-
jecting outside--he was on the very point
of falling to the pavement below Who
can explain this phenomenon, which is
unquestionably truei :

confidential person to Nashville to ascer-
tain the relations that existed between j.
Wilkes Booth and President johnson
when both were in Nashville, during the
latter part of the war. After interrogat-
ing many prominent men of both parties,
nothing further was discovered than
that Booth and the then military COVER
nor of Tennessee had no connection with
each other whatever. Apropos of this, a
Nashville paper says: ..tStrange to relate,
Gen. Grant, who knew that Booth was
a rank rebel, and had refused to take the
oath, gave him pass to go to New Or
leans IN the early part of 1864, writing
and signing the document himself"
