WASHINGTON, Nav Goth. 1852.

WAsfiINGToN, May Goth, 1852.
The folly and impIacticahility of night
sessions Of Congress has been pretty we'll
illustrated once or twice lately, especially
In the House. The other night at the hour
Of meeting the pro tenn Speaker grasped
the gavel and called to order House com.
posed OF two Members, five reporters, and
dozen or more pages who, lounging In
the seats of Members, dreamp. Of future
Congressional honors. Then arose one Of
these two Members and with great impres.
sedness proceeded to deliver a written and
carefully prepared speech in favor Of the
bill under consideration. A story Is told
Of "Fritz" when in Western town he saw
the curtain rise and an audience Of one
crowding the rear Of the auditorium. Re.
covering from his CONSERVATION and resist.
ing the appeals Of his company to refund
to the audience his entrance fee, Fritz
advanced to the footlights and inviting the
solitary auditor to take front seat acted
with more than his ordinary vim. The
story getting out there was no lack Of specta-
tors during the remainder Of "Fritzs" stay,
and his first nights audience always had a
choice seat. But everybody is not a
Fritz" and an audience OF one is some.
thing ofa damper upon the eloquence Of a
Member Of Congress. This is specimen
