a smile of satisfaction all over the
House. Sumner did not open his
lips, so completely was lie taken
aback. 1t IS said that Fessenden
enjoyed it very much. Mr.. Hen
bricks also took band in lathering
the Senator from the Old Bay State,
much to the amusement of the Sen
ate. From what Mack" the special
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, says the Radical Senators
elected this winter are not over
stocked with brotherly love for their
confreres. He says: 81 don't know
why it is, but there is cordiality of
hatred and a reciprocity of contempt
between the great men of the Radi-
cal party in the Senate, that, if fully
known, would astonish most people.
Fessenden hates Sumner, and says
in private conversation he's fool.
Sumner hates FesSenden, and says
he's q wretch. Harlan hates Grimes,
and says he's man of no principle.
Grimes hates Harlan, and says he's a
swindler. Wade hates Sherman,
and says he's political coward.
Sherman-well, John hasn't blood
enough in him for either love or hate
Conness hates Cole, (they are both
Radicals from California; and calls
him all the evil names he can think
of. Cole reciprocates the favor by
giving, as his private opinion of Con

as drunken fool, and Yates talks o
Trumbull as a sober sneak. If wha
