Addicks, and checkmated the attempt
of want town Republican to be-

wrecker.
The announcement that the joint
assembly had separated WINS re-
ceiyed by the Democrats and Regular
Rublicans gleefully. On the Union
Republicans. it had paralyzing
effect. but only for moment, then,
the anger of the Addicksites knew no
bounds--it broke furiously and ragged
for half an. hour or LOGGER. Oaths
fouled the afr, and rough and tumble
lights we're imminent The conduct
was disgraoeful, but fortunately riot
was ayerted. Senator Groves language
was unbecoming to gentleman and a
member of the General Assembly, and
his insult to President pro tenn Ellison
the latter's age, II nothing else,
should have protected him-was I'M
warranted; but In Justice to the

the eyentful day. Senator Blakely was
less luagnapimous than Senator Groves
The former, when the Senate was
rendering the president pro tenn vote
OF thanks by rising vote, declined to
rise. In decided contrast 10 the ad-

resolved themselves into lovefeast; and

Speaker were eulogized, the Senators

"reminiscences OF The legislative term
