MIR. Books, of New York, very naiycly)
was willing to hear the funding bill, but
desired that it "be read very slowly" Co
yopE the Famous was up, and said some
thing about q colleague, when Mr. w oon-
WARD, addressing the SrEAKER, asked 10

lauchter.1 CovopE is the man who quoted
Scripture for greater punishments OF the
South, instancing the case of AHAB, who
was punished because he spared some OF
the enemy, CovopE is called "AHAB.' He
was pressing for the floor, when MIR. Ell
DRDeE moved that Mr.. CovoDE have the
privilege Of speaking the rest of the eve
ming on ABAB. (Great laughter.] I
Thus the whole day was spent in a roll
licking manner. MIR. ScHENcK, with his
bills, seemed like an ass with his laden pam
niers turned into ring to be teazed and
fretted by every species of annoyance. he
preserved his good temper.
The same day the Senate had little hui

uttered in the discussion of the census bill !:
MFR. SALISBURY / suggest to the
Senate that there need he no practical diff.
Guilty about this matter. j will undertake
lie find men enough in my own State who
are good Republicans to take the census
throughout the whole United States for the
present salary. They are very DESTROYS of
holding Office under the Federal Govern
ment, and they set out very early in this
campaign, with the aid of their fclloW-cltl-
zens of African descent, to carry that State,
in the hope of getting some Federal offices.
l believe they have abandoned all idea OF

MIR. DAVIS: I ask the honorable Senator
If men can breathe in his State for six dol.
lars day? Laughter.l
MIR. STEWART: That depends very.
much on the condition of their lungs.
[Laughter.]
Well, these humors arc far more tolera-
Ilo than tho wade of time i'm the fOlleS and
maiignities of MORTON and SUMNER and
such cattle. The scenes OF Saturday leave
no poison behind them. But the ferocious
and brutal TRADES of the fanatics and ultra
partisans excite the passions aud stir up
the rancors of the whole land. More than
half the time Congress has been in session
since the war it would have been better for
the nation had such rollicking scenes as
those of Saturday occupied its sittings.
