far. He had never tasted drop OF intoxioat-

be assumed. and ought TO be assumed, that
very member OF the body was self-respect-

the last two years. at least, there had been no
exhibition OF drunkenness In the chamber,
such ns was said to have occurred forty or nfty

Senate was n temperate body, and all intlma-

Mr. Gibson Dem, La) conourred in the good
