A WITTY LITTLE SPEECH FROM Mr..
JOHNSON, OF CAL1FoRNIA-A RADICAL
SKINNED. In the House, on Friday,
Mr.. Johnson, rising to n personal ex
planation, referred to q remark made
by Mr.. Pile, i'll objecting, some
weeks ago, to resolution offered
by him in regard to the citizenship
of the Chinese in California-the
Objectionable expression being that
the resolution WAS burlesque on
common sense-and said that he had
not heard the expression Mt the time.
or he should have repelled it. In
reference to the gentleman's ability
to set himself up as a censor, he had
only to say that that gentleman
ought to be courteous to members.
He knew nothing of his qualifications
for the high Office he had assumed,
but he did know, by looking ut the
congressional Directory" that that
gentleman was O minister of the gos-
pei and a brigadier-general-a sur
pliced hero and fighting priest.
Laughter. He said this to the gen
tleman's honor, because he admired
his buttons and reverenced his cloth.
Laughter. The judiciary Com
mlttee, to which the resolution was
to be referred, had seen no danger
lurking i'll it. But it was not the
first timo that the eyes of wisdom had
been closed to threatening danger.
he recoilected, in sacred history,
that when the angel of the Lord stood
IN the way of Balaani with his flaming
sword, turning and threatening right
an and left, Balanm had no eyes to see;
NSut the poor ass saw it, and blurted
out vehemently. Laughter.
