The speech of Mr.. J. Ran Tucker, in
the U. S House of Representatives,
report Of which appears elsewhere IN
to-day's Herald, reads ike the speeches
that were made by Virginia Congress-
men in the good old times before the
war, when the Representatives. in Cons
gress from Virginia were the leaders Of
that body. In alludiug to this speech
the Washington Tribune says:
''Tile speech in the House yesterday
by Mr.. John Randolph Tucker, Of
Virginia, nephew of John Randolph,
aud formerly professor Of equity and
public law at Washington and Lee
University, although in support mainly
OF a theory that has been settled, if not
by argument, at least by force ofarms-
State iight--was a mastery effort,
commanding the attention of the entire
House. His speech, which was nearly
an hour and half long, attracted the
attention Of none more earnestly than
those who differed with him most
He showed an intimacy with the Cons
s,itution and the views OF leading
statesmen thereon indicative of the
most thorough study of the subject.
His arguments against the Centennial
appropriation were, from his stand.
point on she Constitution, irresistible
aud the applause which he received al
the close Of his speech from those whose
votes will be opposed to him Oh the
bill was deserved tribute to his elo-
quence and erudition."

In the House of Delegates on Monday
Ex-Governor Smith, of Fauquier, spoke
III favor of retrenchment and said 'tEat
he stood committed to his constituents
in that behalf. He wanted to go back
to the practice eff earlier days, when the
honors of the State were sought, not for
the money, but for the dignity they con.
ferred. He denied that living is more
expensive now than in former times.
lie was living cheaper now in Rich.
mond than he had lived in former days.
-Four dollars day are amply sufficient.
lie did not go to the theatre, drink hot
whiskey punches. eat lunches, &c"
Virginia would be much better off to-
day if she had more representatives like
the x-Governor.

We have reached that time when it bes

Referring to the fact that the Legis

liberty is proclaimed throughout the

of the habeas corpus, unrepealable by
an edict of the President OF by act of

Mr. fuckers speech, throughot in
terrupted by burst of applause, created
a great sensation in the House, and
admiration of it was literally expressed
on both sides. At its close he was
complimented by republicans and demo
Gratis, one of the latter (Mr. Lamar. Of
Mississippi) saying it was the best
speech he had ever heard IN Congress.
