from the. sleepy condition OF Sena-
tors after the somnific dose of three
hours in length, dealt out by the YER
table Senatorial Scallawag-Pool-of
N. c., Friday last, on the Flu klux
outrages, it was not certain that a
sufficient number would be awake to
constitute quorum to-day.
The House still runs the spectacle
of the Bloody Ku klux or the CYCLIC
pean's dream; the character OF the
dreamer is beng enacted by Hon.
.Strabismus" Butler, of Massachu-
sets, to good, though not at all APP
preciative audiences; the fact is the
piece is old and worn out, and not
even change of costume, and new
scenery can make it successful. The
management will find that it will not
pay any better than the Radical COM
edy brought out at the other House,
called "You kick my dog and I'll
kick your cat" Mr.. Sumner as the
owner of Doggy Motler, and the
President in the role of the last pur-
chaser of Kitten Baez. The latter
comedy was withdrawn after a run
of two days on account OF applause
in the galleries and jealousy, among
the actors.
Seriously, the Radicals are max
ing geese of themselves by their
course upon the Ku-klux question
and had much better have taken the
advice of their more far seeing Rad
ical friends and have gone home.
By staying they have driven the larg-
est kind of wedge into their party
by the Sumner quarrel, and now it is
more than probable that they will
be virtually defeated on the bill now
pending, as it is pretty generally
conceded that there are enough Rad.
icals who will vote with the Demo.
Gratis, to SO amend the I'LL that Nor.
ton, Butler and Grant will not ac'
complish their designs. The people
know all about this subject a {
, whether a moderate b I'LL, or an ex
IRENE bill is passed or whether legis
lation on this question is abandoned
, it will make no difference; the fat
of the Radical party is sealed ant
I all these efforts. of such bill-reckles
politicians, as Morton and Butler t
keep up an excitement, whereby t
