Mir. Seymour, the New-O Orleans notary who went to Washington to verify the Webber-An- derson protest, has returned home with thrill ing narrative of his adventures He had never been at the Capital before and was deeply inn pressed with the habits and bearing of our modern statesmen. He couldn't understand Congress at all, and was reminded of nothing but bear fight every time he looked at it. One Congressman would make motion, and then about thirty would jump up and howl like hyenas. The Sergeant Arms would move among therioters with along pole topped by an eagle, when they would sit down. AS. soon as he retired with the pnle they would begin yelling again. He encountered lots of ex x-statesmen in search of offices of any kind. One of them invited him to drink, and then let him pay for it. The same man returned the next day with an apology for Undergraduates, and wound up the transactionby borrowing 50 cents. MT. Seymour was lodged in 'san ele- gantly furnished room," and came out of his expedition with a clear profit of $75. He .ap- parently yearns for more fraud inquiries with similar demands on his valuable time.
