A HUMILIATING PICTURE.-It may be cold con-
ISOLATION to Californans that McDougall is not
the only member of the Senate who appeard in
his seat so very drunk as to attract the attention
of the galleries but the following extract from
the Washington correspondence of the Newark
4 .uertiser gives a picture which is humiliating
to every citizen of this State, and to every
American as we'll
The Senator from California, McDougall, ap-
peared in the Senate on Monday, drunk as usual,
and did most of the talking for his side of the
chamber, muttering his incoherent sentences so
that the reporters had to guess at his language.
His opportunities for disgracing himself and the
Senate at the same time will be exhausted with
the present session, and his successor, Cole, is
already in the city. We understand that Nc
Dougall's salary is paid only to his wife, who
deals it out to him at discretion. His salary and
mileage have been about $4,000 per year
Salisbury also commenced the session with un-
favorable promise, and yesterday was so much
under the influence of liquor as to speak in the
Senate with twitching SOLDERING tongue. Lost
to all sense of shame. he is pointed out to
strangers the unfortunate of the Senate With
intellect inferior to few, if any, in the body and
when himself gentleman of refinement and
social qualities. he is sweeping fast the inevt-
able end of such excesses as be has INDUCED in
during his Congressional career Riddle, the
other Senator from Delaware, is not far behind
his colleague, and while not so prominent in the
Senate, hence not much noticed, bids well to
reach first the end above referred to- He seldom
speaks in the chamber, and is far the inferior
mentally, of Salisbury. To this gentleman be.
longs the motion for increasing the members
salaries.
