Queer Scenes IN the NIehs Session Of

A great many strange scenes were mo-
ticed on the floor throughout the night.
Mr.. Paddock of Nebraska, who wasIaid
out upon q sofa, began q systematic
snoring process, by which he not only
kept other Senators awake, but SO loud
and spasmodic were his occasional
snorts that every once in while Mr..
Edmunds, who happened to be reading
at the time; stopped and looked up as Il
he were about to call the sleeping Sena-
tor to order. Another incident out of
the regular order, and in entire conflict
with the usual dignity of the Senate, was
q smoking match INDUCED in BY Messrs.
.Oglesby and Cockrell. The former used
a long cigar, while the latter had an inn
mense clay pipe with a reed stem, and
between the two, together with the un-
covered feet Of the Numbering Solons,
. most disagreeable odor peryaded the
Senate chamber. A number Of tramps
had taken advantage Of the prospects Of
an alLnight session to get an easy rest
ing-place on the soft cushions of the
Senate galleries, and these, together
with a few persistent lookers-on and the
indefatigable newspaper correspondents,
made up the company Of the Senate till

The session of both Houses was alb
sorbed in the discussion Of khe reports

under the Governors proclamation.
The Senate Committee decided that
the Legislature was not confined to a
simple acceptance or rejection of the
sixty cent proposition that it is COM
petentunder theConstitutiOn and proc
lamatiOn, to enter upon the legislative
business for which it is assembled, +,
which, in the opinion of the commit
tee, is an adjustment of the bonded
indebtedness of the State, that whilst
considering the award of the arbiters,
it was competent for the Legislature to
modify or amend the details thereof.
The report was adopted.
The opinion of the majority of the
House Committee is that the Legisla-
ture is restricted by the terms of the
Governors proclamation to an accept
ance or rejection of the sixty cents
proposition.
Messrs. Travis, Pbe'an, Peters and
CoIyar submitted a minority report,
stating that the Legislature has the
power to consider the adjustment of
the debt upon any basis or figures.
Messrs. Simonton, Savage, Gleaves
and COlyar do not fully concur in the
minority report, but think the Legis-
lature has the power to consider all
matters legitimately arising out of the
proposed adjustment of the liabilities,
including a modification of the same.
The House was considering a motion
to adopt the minority report when it

Lecture by Prof. $. a. LocHett,

Lecture by Prof. S. A. LOckett.
In response to the pressing invita-
ton of many of his friends, Professor
Lockett, lately an officer in the Egyp-
tian army, last night, in ST. Johns
Chapel, delivered a lecture on
Egypt" The Professor spent two
years in the service of the Khedive,
and during his sojourn in the Land of
the Nile became thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the manners and customs of
the people of that country, as was
manifested in the delivery of his lee
ture last night.
The audience which greeted the
Professor was large and appreciative,
and were we'll rewarded for the atten-
ton they gave him. The subject was
treated in very interesting manner;
at times, exceedingly humorous. His
sketch of the mode of housekeeping,
and the peculiar difficulties under
which he labored in making the pur-
chase of his household goods excited
hearty laughter. The climate he
SPOKE OF IsassDeiBg one or the paresU III
the world, the sky being almost pers
petually blue. But the inhabi-
tants, if one-half as dirty and dis
honest as he portrayed them,
we should certainly prefer the en-
chantment OF distant view. He de-
scribed the Khedive as man of great
corpulence, low in stature, imperfect
eyes, and one that, altogether, presents
a most repulsive appearance. Yet, he
is possessed of good qualities, among
them steady habits and untiring per-
severance. Christian schools and
churches are permitted to flourish,
which before his reign were never
allowed. The Khedive is heavily in
debt, and, according to the Professor,
he will repud!ate rather than pay. He
gave very interesting account of a
breakfast with his Highneas, the Khe-
dive, the occasion being State recep-
ton to Mr.. Washburne, late Minister to
France. The breakfast comprised Is
courses, the menu being printed in
French, the court language of Europe,
which was read to the audience and
translated by the Professor, causing
considerable amusement, he COM
menting upon the popularity of the
different courses as he translated
them.
His description of Cairo, the differ
ent classes of it's inhabitants and their
mode of living, was particularly inter
esting. The fall of the year is the
season." and then, he says, Cairo is
alive with the italian Count and
Countess, the German Baron and
Baroness, the French Marquis
and Marquise, the English Earl
and Countess, and the American Cen
eral, Colonel, Judge and Doctor and
the Mrs. Generals, Colonels, &C., he as
sertfng, much to the amusement ofthe
audience, that an American Miss, on
one occasion, wrote herself Miss
General"
It would be impossible to do justice
to the lecture without printing it ver-
batim. It was a succinct, spicy &C"
count of life in Egypt, and from the
beginning to the end of the lecture,
the audience listened with rapt atten-
ton, manifesting their delight in un-
controlled bursts of laughter, It is to
be hoped that at no distant day the
learned gentleman will repeat his lee
ture.
