So great that Speaker Rose had to ham

we venture to say that such Governor:
as Thomas Bragg. Jonathan Worth
Wade Hampton, Alexander II. Stephens
Z. b. Vance, Horatio Seymour, and the
like, would not be seen in the House.
when Bills in which they were interest.
ed wcTe pending (such as the Acricul.

never make a public speech to a Legisla.

ed out the fact that the Secretary of the
Navy had appeared in the Lobby while
a Naval Bill was eing discussed. Even

Another incident OF this extraordinary

set speech in behalf OF the :Old
Board Zone of which he Isl Of Agri-
culture. The accounts we have receiv-
ed of that speech exc &c 0lp special won
der, for it was a long defense of the old
Board. with q plea for its retention. 1t
set forth his labors, his taxes. his large
farm, his loan OF money to the State
Fair, ETC.. etc., and argued that to sim
ply take the Governor and nine Far
mers for the New Board las the Bill
provides) would be construed as a re-
Election on the Old Board, etc! We
don't care to attack the speech; or even
to answer 1t. PHt ss the Newton En-
terpriSe remarked -
There seems to be but little objection
to the change except from tie members of
the board, ali Ehom. notwithstanding tie
