good speech, but they are not ana
house built on sand will fall, and this
magnificent structure of the Judges fell
at the first little storm that came. In
concluding he seemed to lose sight Of
the innocent want of personal feeling
with which he commenced this discussion,
and closed with strong appeal to the
individual prejudices of the members,
Mr.. CARLILE, of Harrison, followed
Judge STUART DoRsEY's appearance
Indicated that he was in good trim for
speech. His good looks and neat attire
was his strong argument. His hair was
parted in the middle; not a hair on the
wrong side from that to which it be-
longed-just enough bear grease on his
head, no more no less-his moustache
dyed to beautiful tinge-the corners oil
his collar broken exactly in the right
place-his complexion IL handsome straw
berry blonde. In fact, ne looked eXquis-
itely sweet, the grease on his head and
tho oil nm his tongue would doubtless
have melted him Intoa stream OF run
ning sweetness but for his close proN-
imi,v to the refreshing coolness of the
gentleman from Barbour-Mr. Lee. We
have given above brief outline of Mr.,
CARLILES remarks, and in doing SO, We
wish to be distinctly understood as not
being influenced by partisan bias or po-
litical prejudices
Mr.. SEHoN, of Mason, next proceeded
to address the House. He could not see
the soundncss of the proposition, .hs' be-
cause a member had voted last winter to
appoint "A committee e. investigate the
charges against the Auditor and TtcaSur-
er, he was thereby committed to vote for
Impeachment After the committee had
made their investigation and laid their
report before the House, most assuredly
member had right after an cXaminN-
tion of the evidence, to form conclusion
IA t. the guilt or innocence of the parties
From u close examination OF the testi-
mony and the law as he understood it,
his mind was clear that the committee
had failed To- make out case against
these parties, and he would thereupon
vote to indefinitely postpone to further
consideration of the articles. He then
proceeded to review the testimony. and
Knocked the props from some of the argu.
ments advanced on the other side.
Mr.. SEuoN was followed by Mr..
VAUGHN. of Lincoln, in one of the most
extraordinarily brilliant efforts of his
life He came here from the sunset side
of our mountains-from the southern
border OF our land-a sun bright cline
where perennial spring sbides; where
vcrdure and never withcring flowers car
pet the landscape. Their" AL day long
the gentle zephyrs daily with the golden
ringets Of Lincoln's daughters. and all
night long the millcfuouS sounds of the
bullirog, interspersed with musquito horn
variations, float over the waters of Mud
River. His people were not those who
dwell among the gates Of the rising
sun" but those who bcheld his
mightier light giving place to the
dreamy dominiOns of the evening star.
Coming from such land and represent
ing such constituency, he .elt the awful
responsibility resting upon him Of saying
something upon question that was now
engaging the attention of the civilized
world--a question upon which the fate of
nations and trembling millions now hung
A spirit of corruption was stalking
abroad in this great land of ours, extend
ing from the Panhandle to Guyandotte,
and if the money which had al
ready been flched from the hon
est and laboring masses could
be- collected. We would have q fund suf-
ficient to build an "injun' monument Mt
Pint" Pleassut-sacred to the memory of
Ed. Sehon His people were ito" po' to
stand up under the burthens of taxation
any longcr-his constituents-the people
OF the State were crying murdcr-and
the only way to stop the cry and save
the State was to hang old Burdett and
kick the lawyers out of the Legislature
both of which purposes he was sent here
by his constituents to carry into effect,
He was tired of rings and "clickers'
they had moved the capita
and now were trying to rob the
people. These lawyers get up hero NSd
tell you about the evidence and the law,
like they thought we honest people didut
know what law is know. for II is all
in the Code of West Virginia. What
have we got TO do with rubbing the rub
bi>h and mos, Of thousand years from
the decisions Of the Kings Bench of
England? What have we got to do
with unearthing precedents Of French
law ir"m the ruins to which they were
consigned by the fall Of the Napo-
leonic dynasty; Why do we stop
to read from JEYrRYs. from BLACK
STONE or from CHARLES JAMES
SUMNER? What did they know
about BENNETT and BuRDErr. Why,
