The House Of Representatives did credita-
ble thing l.st Wednesday IN sending person
This Sypher 10 caspet-bAgge1 Of the wors.
description. He docs not pretend 10 have 10
ceired any votes. Nobody p1etends to say that
he would hAse been any credit to Congress,
because he was mixed up in tho sale OF West
Point catethhipa. aud j. believed on al sideA
day: Tbs deconcy OF tho House reyolted
against admitting such person, and some OF
the strongest pa1tiasns supported 3fr. Fiteha
motion to dismiss sypher to his original
obsc,,rity. Some OF these men we're Allison,
AAspe1, Bingham. Ru,cha1a, coet, cuIlon,
Hays, Logan, OEth. schsnck, Schoaeld, and
C. c. WAshbuHn. No naan ever ca,ne so near
getting into Congress- By the defects Of lesis-
laion .s Sspher. He stood with his hand
raised, in the act Of being BWorn in-And it was
trati,ng with n oath TO adnainister i to Sypher
when Mr. Moore, Of Illinois, Republican,
moved to reconsider tho vote BY which sypher
had just been accorded seat. It ia notorious
that whenever Sypher WAS mentioned By either
elde, during this exciting debate, he V.a not
called the gentleman from Louisiana, but the
"petRon." or party"
You will remember Sypher A the young man
whose brother came from Philadelphia to Waah-
! iuEton for no other purpose than to tell Al
agent mined brooks that his brothers honor
| could not be sold. Two hundred miles like q
feudal herald beating defiance! 1t is charged
here that our amialle friend Horace Greeley
had no little influence in beating Mr. SEphet
from his scat; for among hiA other pursuits,
III. Sypher attempted, sone time ago, to fol.
low that OF sugar-planter, and he induced
our old and credulous contemporary Of tht
Tribune to Eiye him stake. This little stake
it seems, amounting to some thousands Of dol
lats, was duly planted among the bayous, bu
it failed 10 come up, 80 that Mr. Greeley hi
to add 10 llustrioua name Of young Wander
blt, Edgar A. Poe, and other creditors, that o
J. II. Sypher. The philosopher ia fond Of ven
geancssi now he may say; Vengeance i
mine."
The E3nornus name OF NIE. Kelley, OF Penn
sylvanis, appeared discreditahly in thi
transaction: for Nj. Rogers {nepuhlican), c
Arkansas, distinctly heard Mr. Kelley say tha
be should vote for Sypher, because it wss an
Kelley, ingeniously, and amid roara Of 1augh
ter from the House, endeayored to prove thu
Mr.. Rogers was wrong, BY getting Mesa1t
Ortb and Moore TO testify that they t1ld nc
hear make this remark. Mr. Rogers, however
alleged that thcy vore not present when th
na1 statement. The people Of tho country ca
see from this what corrupt thing tho tai
il. Here is a member from the greatest nanC
featuring district in America, voting to adm
a candidate Of bad principles into CongTes
to which he Eas not elected, for the sake {
by good deal Of preaching and laundering O
this question, in imptesaing some feeble pei
pie nth an idea Of his sincerity. Thoaa VII

cjple for which he works, but for an unscr1
pulous man behind it. Every high tariff chs
tell into line and voted after Kelley for s,
! piers admission. We Hhal1 hesl no more
Sypher. He has retired into his family nAn
never sgain 10 make figure in the wprl
although he tried hard for Number One.
