ington correspondent contribute
the following just and merited COM
pl!ment to our Representative in
Congress.
Col. Hooker is one of the most no
feed men on the floor. His tall COM
manding form fine face, erect soldier
ly bearing, and his empty sleeve ut bis
left side, always attract attention of the
galleries. His speech delivered yester-
day confirms the Judgment of the
House, that he is one of its m Is! elo-
quent members. He speaks with Gelib-
GRAFTON, the full tones OF his voice are
finely modulated, his remaining right
arm swings out freely in sweeping, grace
ful gestures, and the purity Of his Eng
lIsh and the classic nature Of bis illus
tratioDs marx the cultured gentlemen.
Few men on either side ere better liked
and more listened to gith mora pleas
ure. IL S statements on the conditions
9TH South have great weight, for be
is universally considered to be a just
and fair man.
