They assumed tBat he was a member of the other 6 House- -which row has so many on Its roil that evea the oldest haJ>itne ami employee* of the Capitol can not convict them all at aight, and it will soon be necessary to install m Congressional BertiUlon system to guard against violation of the sa cred premises by those to whom the open sesame of the people’s voice has not been given. The first intimation that Mr. Pen rifoy received of his transgressions was when he was spending his thin «ny. ss it were, opon, the Senate floor, listeiing with great force to the learned debates in which, the members of that body are wont to engage. While his attention was cot*.cer , i“>t» d upon this incomparr-bl IntelUc’-.ri! a id political feast, the visitor from Walterboro was accost ed bj’ a pug** .vith the remark that he (the visitor) had better hasten l>ack to the House, because they were, havit .i a vote over there. As a result of this friendly advice from the ymth, the solicitor took thought which brought him by dis creet s'ep* to verifier-tion of a horrible suspi. ’or. that he whs who: he “hadn't ought’ to have been. He folded hit. »ent with all possible dispatch and n..,rrated quietly to th ^>uter lone. Who will say now that Mr. Pmj- rifoy does not look like a O-jegr^ss- mMt? He has the best sort of tes timony in his behalf. It isn’t every body that ear* walk right into the Senate and sit down witho.ut being halted or questioned by the guar dian of that enchanted domain.
