FRIENDS THAT HE rs MORE FOOL THAN
KSAyE--CT.AIMANTS FOR HIS 0FFICE--pRE.
Sent POSTURE OF THE CASE. s<ss,
A too frequent repetition OF the scene
during the Fitzhugh debate on SATURDAY,
would destroy altogether any OF the gravity
left in the House OF Representatives
Although Congress and the people generally
have read Fitzhugh's felicitous letter detail
ing the pleasures OF official life, its reading
in The House called forth shouts OF laughter,
In which all the members participated. Ii
was not only evident that the doorkeeper
had written himself an ass, but his actions
during the proceedings confirmed that ne
had made no mistake in the diagnosis OF his
own worth. He ambled around the floor
with the agility Of kitten, and did not seem
to recognize the difference between question
able notoriety and fame. Evidently the man
thought himself honorcd in being the sub
iect of a congressional debate. Had Mr..
Glover pressed the previous question on
his resolution to expel Fitzhugh without
allowing debate it would have been carried
by large majority. Not q single member
defended his folly. The only sympathy he
got was in the appeal that the House would
not be too summary in its action.
The Committee on Rules meets on Tues
day, and will commence the investigation,
which is not expected to last more than one
day. 1t will be confined to determining the
genrineness of the letter, and not to any Of
the indictments found against him. Fitz-
hugh has already admitted its genuineness,
and the original, which is in this city, can
also be produced. 1t is not proposed to get
rid OF him 80 much because he may have
been previously knave, but because he is
more q fit subject for kings iester.-Cor-
reSpondence Baltimore american.
CLAIMANTS FOR THE OFFICE.
The canvassing for Fitzhugh's successor
has already commenced. Those most promi-
nently mentioned for the office arc Mr.. Pat
tcrson, of New Jersey, who was candidate
for sergeant-at-arms, and is now clerk in
the office of the clerk of the House; Mr..
Jennings, the present assistant doorkeeper;
and Mr.. George c. Wedderburn, who was a
candidate for the nomination for clerk. Mr..
