THE Ssw PARTY.


yi:;t 10 the Capitoi at any time during
4 y, mast week, whilst the plumber was being
q ,s,-ibutcd, would have required in the Wis
-, ,.ronc oifactory organs. Such collec-
Il ".,o, harpies and buzzards has not been
81 ~, abou. the corridors and lobbies OF that
Il ,rfdfug since his Honor Judge UNDER
d s,ro, presided there. There was the gam
II ,rsr conyic.cd OF swindliug his victim out
u ,,trp,t funds. seeking high Office. In an
q ,.,rr nrnr:er might be seen another man,
Il .spking high judicial place, whose knees
II ,,ui onoke ~ he recoliccts how narrowly he
ssrapcd punishment when certain Judge
di.borrcd him for pcculalon. Still another
j ,,ru,,cd with his pockets now empty, but
q ,nce filed 10 reple,ion with money stolen
4 from a asi.ter State, aspiring likewise to high
8 Judicial station.
In passing through the Capitol one invoi-
rr,arily went, as Dean Swift has it In his
& rsmarks on the critics, 1" with the caution OF
man that walks through Edinburgh streets
in q morning, who is indeed as careful as he
j ran. to watch diligently and spy out the
4 filth in bis way"
8 All were hanging around as the buzzard
u aoycrs over carrioD, and each one looking
B pron the State and her Offices as the buz.
81 z,rd views the carrion, rs so much otial to fill
hi. empty nav. Truly it was lovely sight
81 n look upon, and reused emotions in Viz
II pipi,n', breast. II i did not make him proud.
a Durip~ :he discussions that have taken
q rlacc within the past week in relation to
q ,bp election OF officers both houses OF the
II General Assembly have been crowded with
q listeners and the crowd has caused some In
a convenience to members OF the Senate.
q The Senate has rule (No. 5S) which pro-
4 bibits persons no! members OF the Senate
upon the 4 Jor OF that body without special
= invitation. 1t directs all visitors to be
II shown to the gallery. On Thursday the
n President pro tenn. directed the Doorkeeper
q 10 enforce this rule Mr.. Hurt very seDsi-
81 bly, moved that the rule be suspended pend
81 ins the debates in progress. He said that
u The wholc State was intensely interested IN
"a what was going on, and that there was no
~ business being transacted which the crowd
al all nteriered with; that the gallery was
81 filed with colored people, and that he
Il hoped the white people who at that time
81 filed the SPACE outside the railing that in
q closes the senator's seats would not be COM
q pellcA TO take choice between going out and
= going into the gallery where the cOored
81 people were.
n The Honorable Congo, Mr. Davis, called
n Ccphas, from the Machtingburg deestrick,
81 understood Mr.. Hurts motion TO be aimed
81 At enforcing distinction in the places to
RS be assigned in the Senate chamber TO the
e white and colorcd people, and heproceeded
81 10 vcntila,c his views upon that subject at
"a argc. The Hon. Cong. took very strong
"A ground in the direction Of enforcing social
81 ntcrmxturc OF the races upon the floor OF
a the Senate chamber, and it was eviden: that
ii his lofty intellect had grasped the social
n problem and had mastered 1t, and that, too,
q 10 the conclusion that negro is as good as
i white man, and in many Instances
3 little better. His views upon this
q subject were very pronounced and
3 very decided. The Hon. Cong. had
IA doubtless been very materially assisted
|Sin striving ut his conclusion by the Hon. Mr..
lBRiddleberger's declaration Of the day pre-
q Ceding, that he acknowledged a brother in
81 every senator on that floor, which OF course
81 included the Hon. Cong; and it would be
81 difficult 10 say, in view OF this fact, that
a the Hon. Cong. had been very precipitate
"a in his conclusion. In view OF our failure
81 10 appreciate the Hon. Mr.. Riddleberger'
Isl acknowledgement upon this subject, we have
# no doubt be would say, i" You never knew
al what Ii was 10 acknowledge q Congo as 8
81 man and Il brother," and we should be
III compelled to admit that we never did

You don't know what it is to be
mother; and the Prince replied, "No,

# The speech Of the Hon. Congo Mr.. Davis
a 'onching the status Of the Confederate sol
n der got sinsularly mixed in its transmits
a .ion to the Wing office. Since that Jour
halls report OF it appeared the official steno-
I'll S''phSi VI tuc StuatS autuAts tuae NuA "a = ~
81 Nenosraphy is fraud, and serves only to
- Atslcad. 1t is thought that he will resign
SA bis position and iorswear the occupation.
IV II is difficult now 10 say whether Mr.
Davis made the speech, or whether the
II speech made Dir. Davis.
& We did Major Joseph Walker an ln1us-
ID lice In our mention Of him on Saturday, and
III Consequently hasten TO make the amend.
NJ We credited him, in making ul eur account
~ With other States, to the State OF MasSachu-
"a %l'S. We are informed that we were in
%8 aror in this, and that he was "charged "
81 70 Us by The State Of New York. We also
san that he came here In General b. F.
oallers engineer depal tment. And since
'e are making the amend to the Major, we
M y unwilling to do 1t by halves. and

resident ordered him to remove all our
M Sate officers and till the offices with carpet
sggers and scalawags, General Stoneman
