Thunder Without lightning.

The explosion (guffaw) in the house Of
representatives, the other day, was that of
Gen. Buffers powder-boat No. = Having
heard such terrible stories of that doughty
warriors capacity to swallow his enemies
whole, like some awful monster with seven
heads and ten horns, the members josially
testified their delight at finding him harmless
by Offering him welcome with peal upon peal
of laughter. While Mr.. Woodbridge was
letting out his Vermont views on the Chris
tan charity of the strategist who sent that
immortal dispatch to his superior, saying he
had locked Beauregard out of where he had
only locked himself in, the member from
Gloucester chanaped his tusks with all
the foaming wrath of the "Wild Boar of Ar
dennes," and muttered subterranean thun.
ders which were thought forerunners of the
whitest forked lightning that ever tore made
rags off the clouds. All the members sup.
posed that the high and mighty wrath OF
Achilles himself was revived, and that w ood-
bridge was the doomed Hector it was to de-
scend upon and gobble up.
But how shockingly lame and tame the
dweller IN Ardennes showed at the pinch (!
What general disappointment to discover
that the great fulmlnator's thunders had not
a drop of electric fluid about them capable
shield of this Achilles was but shining
tin, behind which he only sounded tom-tom
defiance at his foes. and proved himself a
second worthy knight of wind "mills,, after
his great exemplar whom Cervantes uncork-
ed from his inkhorn for the laughter of the
world.
There was something cabalistic in those
impressive words, thrice repeated with OUT
stretched arm and at the very top ofthe voice
THAT'S fair play from Vermont, isn't itg"
Why three repeated, remains secret with
him who alone is master of the mystery
We know that the prudent cat inewed thrice :;
that the cock crowed thrice to Peter; that
Achilles dragged the corpse of Hector three
times around Troy; that Alexander ran
naked three times around Achilles, tomb:
that Hecate had q "triple, team Cerberus
three heads, and that three skinny witches
appeared to Macbeth on the heath that
three times three are nine, and that in the
figure three is hidden some mystical proper

the head of q three-fold conundrum of such q

ed three soundings of the fearful syllables,
to get them through the .@@triple brass" in
which their utterer is said to be encased.
We shall, at, any rate, exercise our clear
night and desist from farther guessing.
The house showed healthy common sense
in the crisis. The three shrieks of prophesy
or anathema, let off at Vermont, were ftly
smothered in the general roar of irrepressi-
BILE merriment. If the speaker was livid with
rage, the house was red with laughter. 1t
was Tristram Burgess who cried out at John
Randolph three times, at the top Of his voice
-" Vm-geen-yah" 1t is a returned Vir-
ginia wanderer, long tucked away from dan
ger in an elbow of the friendly James, who
cries out three times in the same way against
Vermont. j. The stopper was pulled ont OF
the vial that held his fearful wrath. The at
titude, the gesture, the bloodless face, the
catawampously high voice, bespoke the hear
| ing of one born to command states and COM
pell the admiration of listening senates. s.
But there is no calculating on a house OF

to members too much given to ruffie. If q

Senate Rejection Of Missouri Sol
dierS.
E,d;to,s of The NationaI IntelIioencer:

Editors Of the National htelligencer:
In recent issue of the 1NTELLIGENcER
tn ere was q very damaging exposure of the
hypocritical love which radicals assume to
entertain for "brave soldiers" Quite q large
number of soldiers who had served with cred
it in the armv-many of them ,bearag
honorable wounds--had been nominated
for various offices in the state of
New York. Among them General Curtis
was eminently distinguished for gal
liant services. Every one Of these 'boys in
blue was rejected by the senate.
| have now occasion. to call your attention
to similar case of radical love for soldiers
in connection with the recent Missouri APP
pointments. Of the eight nominations sent
to the senate FIVE had been soldiers. Col
John M. Glover was one-of the first men who
sprang to the call in 1861, and remained in
the service throughout the war. He was
eminently distinguished for bravery and de-
votion to the Union. Col. Thomas S. Crit
tenden, a most meritorious officer, was also
among the first to grid on the sword. Gene
raj R. C. Vaughn, an old republican-when
repub.icanism was dangerous IN Missouri
rendered good service. Col. James A. Gri.
erson and Captain G. C. Broadhead were al
SO promptly in arms, and performed good and
telling services.
All of these gentlemen-old and tried sol
diers, eminently fitted for the positions to
which they are nominated-were rejected by
the senate. Add to them the rejection las
spring ofGeneral Blair, the first man in tbs
valley of the Mississippi who buckled on the
sword, and what a pitiful and hypocritica
contrast we have between the professions anC
the actions of these ''boysin-blue loving
radicals! Perhaps "brave,. soldiers ''is a tern
only appli cable to radical soldiers like But
Ter.
In Missouri, unfortunately, the crop o
radical soldiers was very small while the
fighting lasted, but since the suppression o.
the rebellion and the Inauguration of plunder
ing and numbering peaceful citizens in Miss
ouri by the present governor. the. yield o
''galiant radical heroes has been Immense
The claims of similar worthless elsew her
seem now, for the first time, to be recognized
