st''trmanship, but show more bust
ness enterprise. But however active
representa- tives and senator's may be
during this session, it is to be
doubted whether any Congress will
eyer again see such industry as the
session of 186O-'61. At that time
the Inauguration ceremonies we're
delayed an hour and a half because
Pres. Buchanan was kept busy sign
ING bills until twelve O'Clock March
4th, and could therefore not meet
Pres.-elect Lincoln and escort him to
the capitol until half past one in the
! afternoon. There does not seem to
be any necessity OF such an incident
y our history this year. On the
other. hand, every Indication points
TO an inauguration such as for sp|en-
dor and careful preparation, has
never before been eQunled. The
procession will be longer and con-
Sisting OF greater number of repre-
srntatives from the different trades
and professions, the comfort of the
quests will be provided for as never
before, and the entertainment prom
lses t" be something surprising.
,The preparation for these ct,remo-
MES, under the direction OF John
Edison, are proceeding according to
a,,system clockIike in it's precision.
The senate now holds nightly seS-
sfons for the purpose Of discussing
he, much talked OF Ship Subsidy Bill.
Twas present at the first srssion but
instead of being Il debate on the
merits and demerits OF this proposed
law, the session developed into Il
comedy as entertaining as could
possibly be asked by IN audience
without tickets. The only serious
character on the floor was seuator
Nelson, OF our own state. He made.
Almost thrilling speech ii, defense of
the a1ministrat ton. 1t was speech
charac tic Of our Senior Senator,
stlorn OF the pretty rhetorical figures
',ll5 telling and convincing in it's
] logic: Other leading actors were
Spna tors Chandler OF New Hamp-
/ / SIZE sEillmans OF North Carolina,
Ielltr$ OF Colorado, ana Jones oil
Arkansas. Every subject touching
Congress in the least WAS made the
subject OF a speech by these distin-
guished men. But this was not the
Iun so much as the sarcastic remarks
and witty retorts given aud taken
i'y these cOmbatants. Senator
Chandler fairly bubbled over with
satire and sarcasm. Interrupted
time and again by southern Sena-
tors, his patience ceased and he sud-
denly hurled this invective upon his
qnestionprS: "Though small, I am
not afraid of ONE southern Senator,
but when three or four go for me l
must admit they really intimidate
me-" BY the way, Chandler is one
among those who were defeated at
the last election, and Congress- will
now lose the charm that his presence
gives 20 it. Possessed OF a most
kee' Intellect, sharp satire and a
silrcasm, witty and cutting, both at
the same time, he easily leads as a
ready debater. While at home at
tending his canvass for reelection,
he learned to realize before the vote
was taken that his as pirations were
grounded, he sent the following mes
sage to one of his friends here in the
city: Il have been run over by
railroad train'' The railroad inter-
ests brought about his defeat.
Senator Nelson WAS presented with
Il very pretty bouquet from the Min
nesota Census people as a common
congratuIation upon his reelection.
[ find | have to divide my letter
because the "SHEAF", as all other
things, has limits to it's capacity.
Yours truly.
