II appears that this desert is not all

CONGRESS should certainly protect its
members from violence, such as was
threatened to be committed the other
day on Col. Thomas p. Ochiltree. The
renowned warrior and truth teller will
soon leave the national capital. but while
he remains he should be afforded the most
ample protection. When Col. 0chiltree,
Richelieu Robinson, John Finerty, Budd,
the California minstrel. Horr, the Michi-
gan clown, and Weller, the Iowa crank,
leave the house, nearly all the picturesque
ness which has distinguished the body
will go with them. But while they re-
main, it is only fair that they should be
protected in their inalienable right to
make fools of themselves at all times and
under all circumstances.
