M r. Stevens gave Gentral Schenck live mitimtes to preseit his inevitable amendment to the amendment. Schanck has a hobby as well as Stevens, and - hey differ congiderably in color..

He fo'nd fEmt generally with the botch ed work turned out by the fathers who framed the constitution, and invoked God to forbid that, he ihould ever adopt the sentiments of Raymond and "the man at the other end of tle avenne" against repairing it. Referring to the A-sociitedA Press despatch pu'rporting to givEn the President's vi'ews on the topics now before the Hose, Stevens animad verted on tho-PresidEnut's conduct with great severity. and said-"Such contIt on the part of a ritish king a few years a o wonid have cost that king his .head." Mr. Ingersoll,. of Illinois, a fat routnd repuiblican, wvanted to know Thad's anthority for crediting the qnthor ship of the press despatch to the Presi dent, whlen the sarcastic old radical re plied that he really could not divulge any of tho secrets betweeni the' Presi dhent and himself. Nearly every .depk in the hall, except those :in Mr. Ste veins' immediate vicinity, was .vacated, and, a black ring * of mem'bers formed around the itupassioni.ed old man.
