The IIou~@ SanbalIat.

Conspicuous III the group IS Constantine Buckley kilgore, who usually comes in with the music-that is to say, about S:30 p. m., when the street band strikes up in the big room below. He is sometimes called the Big Objector' and is joculaYly known as the Sanballat of tine house. Having a vague idea that l had read of Sanballat in some ancient history, l asked one of his col leagues what that meant, and he replicd: "Oh, Sanballat was that fellow who bucked against Nehemiah. He first laughed at Nehemiah's attempt to build the wall of Jerusalem and told him that everybody else was laughing at him. Finding that a failure he proposed a joint debate and that failing he tried bulldOzing." So far the member, but whether this is d correct de scription of \ilgore have my doubts.
 Another prominent man in the group both for size and soldity of statement is Sam Robertson of Louisiana, but he is far from humorous at present. His district is one vast sugar plantation, with ricetields and other crops here and there, and is dot ted all over with new villages built and oc- cupied entirely by northern men, most of them from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. There are postoticcs where three fCurths of the mail are received from the last two states

Judge Harris Story.

I have never heard more interesting rem iniscences of the winter of 1S6O-l than are those of Jud ge Harris, WhOi in that troubled time and for some time before represented the Harrisonburg district in the Shenau- doah valley, substantially the same district as that recently represented by O'Ferrall Judge Harris was an ardent advocate of the Union and fought secession till the war began, and his prediction of the results of the war, published just before its begin ming, has been pretty nearly fulfilled. He says:
 "A day or two after Lincoln got here d member of the Virginia convention came to see me--the same convention which at first refused to Seccde, but aft rrWHrd did and he and togcl her called on AIr. Lin coin, who said: Judge, there will be no war-at any rate, none of my making. Hut must have tAc revenue. We will cOllrc' it by vessels stationed on the coasts. Said l. MT Lincoln, earnestly hope you will not do so for it will be certain to bring on conflict. 'Well, hr replied, with a pt culiar smile, if they cut off my supplies l can't keep house. There was no mOr to be said. That exhausted the sub ject l left convinced that an armed conflict was inevitable. l went thrl to meeting of the Virginia members with some visiting statesmen from various

 Best Lawyer In Texas.
 But in the parlor above is grouped lect body of humorists, statesmen and good list teners, the last as important as any ele- ment in making up a truly Congenial par ty. At one moment the chairs are all drawn close together in group, in the next the party breaks up into half a dozen little groups as eacA member is called aside to talk with an anxious constituent, and then the larger group gathers again, the cigars are relighted, and stories of the war, com ments on the days doings in congress, ar guments about this or that phase of the tariff, and somewhat personal pleasantres follow each other in rapid and delightful succession. The great pressure is to get near the chair occupied by Judge Culber- son of Texas, chairman of the house judi ciary committee and d walking encyclopedia of Texas legal history. He says little, but that little contains so much law and sense, enlivened by d dry, sarcastic humor, that it is well worth hearing.
 Bill Sterrett, the universal Texas news paper man, describes. him in this pithy manner: Best lawyer i'll our state, sir. Never loses a ease Why, sir, he has ac- quilted over 50 of our most distinguished murderers.' It is the solemn truth, and to hear Judge Culberson give an account of the famous Rothschilds case--the Gin cinnati Israelte, who was tried for the murder of Diamond Bessie" on Jefferson bayOu-is as good as a first class play while it lasts. Next comes Senator Berry, who says much less than Judge Culbcrson but is a universal favorite among the habtue>' of the hotel. Judge Culberson is familiar ly known i'll the house and about the hotels as the "Tycoon," and when you ask the average member what he means by that he says: "Oh, the Tycoon? Yes, he was there somewhere, who w;lS supposed to be doing the will of the emperor when the emperor and all the empire were really do ing his will, and the Lever found it out till it was too late.

Contractors for Steamboat SEppfy sued
for Losses by the Caters.
T. z. Dyer yesterday brought SUIT
agains. r. A. Drummond and A. Z. Spaui-
ding for Si3.5 30 damages for breach OF con-
tract in refusal To pay for some cord v ood,
and says Others are left in the same plight
Dyer alleges that he owns place on Port
Orchard. and that on September % last be
entered into a contract with the defend
ants 70 deliver them sixty cords OF wood
tor use on the steamer Flyer for $L9o per
cord. deducting towing expenses, which
amounted 10 $3.50. DYER alleges that he
delivered fifty-eight and three-quariers
cords at Commercial dock. but that the
defendants declined to pay for it on the
ground that they had no money. The
wood was cut big for steamboat use and
was unstable for other purposes, but
finally Dyer found purchaser at $50 per
cord. Dyer claims he was out $40 personal
money, and he now wants damages In the
sum of s43. 80, being the difference between
the contract price and the price he was
compelled to sell for, with the $40 in
Guided.
Mr.. Dyer said last evening that several
farmers on Port Orchard and Port Wash
ington have suffered similarly at the
hands of Drummond and Spauiding; that
cordwood has been contracted for, and
upon delivery the contractors have always
stood ready to receive the wood, but have
declined to pay the money. Mr.. Dyer
says the contractors have an agreement
with the Flyer and other steamers to fur
nish them with wood, and that as far as he
knows the steamers have always paid for
what they received from the contractors.
