 WeIc0me-The AgitatOr's Address.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-There was an i'm mense throng at the Capitol this evening. The doors of the building were not opened till near o'clock, and by five minutes past all the galleries except the diplomatic gallery were packed with people. By order of the House this afternoon the ladies belonging to families of Congressmen were admitted to the floor. The members were tardy in arriving, and as late as 7:3O p. n. there were many va- cant seats on the floor, but up stairs all the doorways were thropged with people who failed to get seats, while the corridors were so packed that it was almost impossible to pass through. Scattered about the halls of the House were members of the Senate, sev- eral of them accompanied by ladies. It was ten minutes of o'clock before the House was called to order, although half-past seven was the hour fixed for the meeting to open. At the hour named, Speaker Randall entered the hall, accompanied by Mir Parnell, and the Speaker had read the resolution under which the session of tonight was held. He then said that in conformity with that resolution he had the honor and pleasure to introduce Charles Stuart Parnell, who was among us to speak of the distress of his coun- try. MT. Parnell was received with applause from all sides. He commenced his speech by thanking the House for the honor conferred upon him and entered at once into an expla- nation of the wrongs of the Irish people, the causes of which he ascribed to the system of land tenure. Every allusion that was made to the help that America was giving to Ireland was received with great demonstrations of joy. In the course of his speech MT. Parnell said it would be grand boast for America if she should aid in reforming the land tenure of Ireland by solving this great question without the shedding of one drop of blood, as it could do. He alluded to the fact that he had American blood in his veins, and this elicited a perfect storm of ap- plause, which lasted some time. He thanked the Americans for the generosity of their contributions and he hoped this would be the last Irish famine they would have to aid. Mir. ParneH concluded at 8:22 o'clock, and the House then immediately adjourned and the audience dispersed. The vast audience kept good order, except now and then there was a little commotion in the gallery owing to the people in the rear crowding upon those in front to hear better. Altogether the meet ing was regarded success. At the close of the meeting Mir. Parnell held quiet levee in the hall and was introduced to the members and others by Speaker Randall.

A Startling Accusation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Critic this af- ternoon publishes a statement to the effect that there is employed in the Treasury depart ment 8 woman who under the guise of clerk is acting in the capacity of procuress for an assignation house in this city. To the house she has enticed several of her more attractive and unsuspecting sister clerks, and to the fas- cinations of wine suppers, the honor of being introduced to members of Congress and eventually fast lives and ruin. One of her latest victims is 8 handsome young lady who was there introduced to Senator from the South and her ruin was accomplished. Fears of the shame which would fall around her if the matter were known sealed her lips, though she longed to place the matter before the pub lie, until few evenings ago when the horri- ble truth was discovered by gentleman by whom she is much respected and to whom she made complete confession. The Critic says these are the particulars in substance and that it is more than probable that the whole story will be made public in few days.
