rAssIK0 or THE 4cE
Ism HrikDg thus In the 9ray Of tho morning.
having been up all night, and must ceaSa Anfupuy
Ieet ont to tell you the circumstances Of coming
10 the vote IN the House and Senate orer Fls-
gIuia's case.
The scene IN the chamber was very fine b.
crowded. the speeches Of Carpenter, Echurz,
Morton, sunLer, Howe. and Others TerJ
effective, AID the whole eti1ce Of the Capitol
STOOD illunlned IN The night
Ore peculiarly Of the Capitol when lighted BY
night, II that the Gags ho1sted uTer the two CHAM
beEa are nate viaible Al IN the clear daylight By
the Illumination Of the epamel1ed glass IN the
roots. Tho many ntmes Of gas between tho up
per ard lower panes aned white light llke halo,
around the streaming colors, and In the denseas
darkuess thu span9lesand the sudpea ahlne like
banners IN the midnight. When the capltoll1-
SELF u half In shadow, apd the tnolus feerns 70 be
merely 8 epre Of ire, The calmly uns1rl1ng nsZs
over the wings enow all their dyes to the dark
peee and the effect h beaut1tuL
But last niGht the Capitol looked better than
ever beheld It. There WAS sTine os Ea1u without,
ard where the lantern Rlowed with hame the mist
all rouId about Eas Visible Id passing clo1dA So
from the w1Dgs where House and Senate Eat, tho
m,sts we're floating away frun the outasakeu
nsge, as II the mlsts Of doubt and war were roll
1rg Oh. while all the marble Walls were touched
with mid rubescence.
Within tho Senate Chamber the atmosphere was
al.o goco,-the DARK, nch red carpet tho pale
o1ar ga tut OF the walls, the dark. attentive roHz
OF people aboye, many Of them intensely interest
eo and orderly as Judges.
n THE HOUSE.
TO my greatest astontsbme7t, Judge BtnghRnn,a
ora.osy Has really usetu1 In the House for the
passage Of his smendment That ebullescens and
eccentric nature, that curious little scimeter'
shaped nose and bead, that Navlpg arm, 2nG
quaint little toss Of the tcpku kuot, got 10 work yes
terday upon little burs. Of defamation tns1
really raised to feet, and Waa worthy Of tht
occasion. There were tradition, pataos. welcome
and hearttuess in IT. The poor degtls Of F1rs
Famrtes that listened from the galleries, w1tnou
a cent In the!F pockets or chen Of tobacco Il
their chops stiil as mice. bn: with pl1eous fond
