Washington, Decomber 9.—One feels
as if one were meeting old frienda to go
into the House thia morning; there
seems to bo general jollification on tbe
floor. Everybody is shaking hands, all
political enmities are forgotten, aome
congratulations on re-elections are
spafcun, aome omitted, and at 12 prompt-
the Speaker's gavel calls to order, and
the members drop into their accustomed
wst-i.
It is not easy to trace these gentlemen
<-ren with a diagram of the floor, for few
o' them ever itay where they belong.
A regular nomad is Clarkson N. Potter,
of New York, handsome, stylish, arro
gant a* is the way of New Yorkers. He
is alway* wandering around with his
hands in bis pockets.
S S.or “Snnsct” Cox, another New
V .rk.-r. and the wit of the House, has a
prominent front scat. Like all wits, he
prefer* licing the marksman rather than
ir — target. He is a sensitive gentleman,
and eavily vanquished with his own
weapon*. which few can wield, however.
Two seats beyond is Governor Swann, of
Maryland, one of the P. F. M.'s. The
old gentleman won’t have his age in the
Congressional Directory, and sits but-
t.rai-d upas prim nnd stiff as an image.
Crocker, of Massachusetts, the oldest
man in the House, has a front seat, and
*o. too, has Alexander H. Stephens,
though he seldom occupies it. "Who is
that man f" asked a stranger of a hack-
driver. before the National Hotel, when
Stephen* came down the steps.
"That ’ere man," said tho driver with
undisguised rancor, "is a fraud. Wo’vc
counted on a job at his funeral for six
y«ars, and be keeps alivin’ on and alivin’
on. and dunno but wot he’s agoin’ to live
for ever.” That was before tho war; and
the bnekmen are still waiting. Marvel
lous little body it is 1 How can so frail
a frame hold so vigorous a mind ? He
wears a black skull-cap; gloves that hang
in bags on his shrunken fingers. When
he tries to speak hooks are piled up
around him to prevent him from falling
down. His voice is feeble and thin.
There is no life in any member but his
eyes. Stephens was adopted when a boy
by two maiden sisters, who patronized
him faithfully till ho declined studying
for the Chnrch and began tho law. Not
long after one of these ladies was in
volved in a lawsuit, which Stephens of-
fored to conduct, hut she declined his
service on the ground of his inexperience.
She engaged a lawyer whom she knew
only hy correspondence. He won the case,
and when the fees came to be paid sbu
found her counsel was nono other than
her young protege, who, confident in his
own powers, had played this little trick
on her. Out of his fco ho repaid the
money spent on his education, and his
success in so intricate a case was a fino
start for a young lawyer.
1’crnando Wood, suaTO, courtly of man
ner. and unimpeachable in dress, is just
the same age as Mr. Stephens, and is the
only member of the House who antedates
him in that body. Wood having been elec
ted in 1»13 and Stephens in ’45 or ’46.
Nothing ever ruffles the New Yorker’s
aalf-puasoaaion; no storm of debate dis
mays him, no excitement betrays him ; he
rarely speaks, be never qnarrcls. The
first day of the last session, when they
were voting for Speaker, it was interest
ing to watch the two candidates. Blaine
moved from desk to desk, sat in uncom
fortable attitudes, glanced around, talked
to his friends a good deal, and finally ab
sented himself. Not so Mr. Wood. Ho
kept his scat from the beginning to tho
end, and there was no face in the hun
dreds present that gave less indication of
concern in the proceedings.
Crutchfield, of Tennessee, is one of tho
curiosities of tho House. Imagine a
shock-haired, unshorn, corduroy-clad fel
low, with his trousers tacked into cow
hide boots, and his hat on the hack of his
head, and yon have Crutchfield as ho
presented himself at the House door the
first day of the last session. The door
keeper refused him admittance until a
colleague vouched for his rights. He
wean ordinary clothes now, and combs
his hair, and has bis boots blacked, and,
instead of gaping around the room as he
used to. sits at his desk and scribbles
like an awkward schoolboy learning how
to write. He can’t be coaxed into join
ing tho Congressional Temperance So
ciety. His friends say h- is a diamond
in the rough, one part of which descrip
tion is possible, the other evident. He
is a successor to Mullins, who was like
him—only more so. Mullins was not sat
isfied with listening, ho wanted to talk,
and no one who heard his speech on
Mo*by*n pardon will ever forget it. "You
way forgive him,” said Mullins, bran
dishing his long arms, " but I ain’t, a
goin’ to—never—not till tho everlastin’
day when the angel Gabriel blows his
old trumpet.” Davy Crockett was from
the same district.
The two Hales, of New York and Maine,
sit together. Hale, of Maine, a handsome
young min, married one of the richest
heire** * in the United States, daughter
of Chandler, of Michigan; and a very
charming woman she is. Then comes
Garfield, a gentle-voiced, scholarly man,
and a great contrast to Dawes, with
whom he is usnally associated. Dawes
nu an anxious expression and a nervous
manner; he is stooped uni care-worn.
Garfield look* as jolly as old King Cole.
Mitchell, of Wisconsin, is the r.chest
member, being worth ever so many mil
lions ; and Brown, of Kentucky, was elect
ed before he was of age to take his s. at
in the House. P. M. B. Young, an ex-
Confederate, the only West Point gradu
ate. Lynch, of Mississippi, was born a
slave. Hooper, of Massachusetts, a gour
mand, is brother-in-law of Sumner’s wid
ow. Cannon, the Mormon, is a short, red
faced, ordinary looking man—English by
birth. Shoemaker, of Pennsylvania, is
Chairman of the Revolutionary Claims—
irreverently called the "LeatherMedal”—
Committee. Beck, of Kentucky, roars
like a lion, anl Frye, of Maine, spreads
the eagle as far as his wings will reach.
Kelley, of Pennsylvania, “Pig-Iron,” or
"Peacock" Kelley, is the most bombastic;
.A , 1 1- T ll—l II, I*—”
no melancholy Jaques ever rolled his ”rs'
or his eyes to such an extent. Kelley re
fers to his own voice as "the mellifluous
organ with which Providence has en
dowed” him. Rice, of Illinois, who was
an actor, is the best speaker hy far.
Tfcongn he occupies a back scat, every
•yllsble echoes so distinctly through that
’wt chamber that we wish there more
ct his old profession there.
It is almost a pity Ayer was cot elect
ed. “Cherry Pectoral” Ayer. Ho would
have electrified the House, beyond a
doubt. A man who used to write his ad*
vertiaementa for him go! up a puff about
one o! his medicines “which,” so ran the
poster, “was the most remarkable discov-
exjr made since narrey discovered the
circulation of the blood.*' “Harvey,
H * rT *T” said Ayer* when he read it
' HarTey?” “He* was a very
celebrated Englishman who but the
Irator interrupted him. “Pshaw! No*
body ever heard of Harvey! Just say
that since thed^ Qf the circnU _
tion of the blood by Dr. James C. Ayer—
no inch discovery as thia haa been made,”
etc. Wouldn’t he ba rich on an appro-
propriation bill ? He never allows his
family to take any of his medicine*.
The central figure of the House, But
ler, deserves a letter to himself.

Mr. George E, Spencer’s Ten
ure Of Ofice.
From the World. . S ji: j
Since tho State Senate of Alabama ous
ted Mr. Miller, the spurious Senator from
Conecuh, and restored the seat to Mr.
Martin, its elected possessor, the Honor
able George E. Spencer, by Republican
courtesy called Senator of the United
States from Alabama, may rightly say of
his claim to that position :
"The last link is broken that bound me to thee.'
Bat indeed, in its original aspects, Mr.
Spencer’s tennre of offico was as essen
tially jocular, so far as tho matter of
right goes, as any of the tenures set
down in Blount’s qnaint treatise. The
Baron of Bradwardine field his estate
and the famous manor-house of Tully-
veolan pro serritio detrahendi caliga regis,
tor the service of pulling off the King’s
boots; hat Spencer has his Senatomhip
upon the condition of licking the Sena
tors’ boots. He has no right to the office
at all, and his service for it can only lie
in the direction of super-serviceable
obedience to tbe behests of the Radical
leaders for whom he fetches and carries.
The Legislature of Alabama, in Novem
ber, 1872, met according to law, organ-
i ted and received an official message from
Robert B. Lindsay, the outgoing Gov
ernor of the State. They next, in pur
suance of duty, proceeded to canvass the
votes for Governor and Lieutenant Gcv-
ernor. They found that David P. Lewis,
tbe Repnhlican candidate, had a majority
of votes, and they declared him elected,
and he accordingly came forward and was
sworn into office. Tho Legislature now
proceeded to its next duty, which was the
election of a United States Senator to
succeed George E. Spencer, whose term
was to expire March 3,1873. After sev
eral formal ballots, in strict accordance
with tbe United States statute, they
elected Francis W. Sykes hy a majority
vote of all the members elected. They
so certified the fact to Governor Lewis by
a copy, under seal, of the record of pro
ceedings of the joint convention of the
two houses.
Governor Lewis, however, refused to
give Senator Sykes an official certificate
of his election. After being counted into
office by the Legislature, and deriving
from it the very power to give a certifi
cate of election to a Senator, he suddenly
found that he had no more use for this
Legislature, and declining to recognize
its legality, gave his adherence to another
Legislature. Tho pretence upon which
Ho did this was that certain members
of the regular Legislature were fraudu
lently elected and not entitled to their
seats, a matter which, even if it were so
to a degree of the grossest enormity, the
Governor of Alabama had yet no more to
do with than tho Governor of New York.
However, this is what Governor Lewis
did. The bogus Legislature, which very
naturally and appropriately held its ses
sions in tho United States Court-house,
and was denominated tbe Court-house
Legislature, was composed of a bolting
minority of members actually elected to
tho genuine Legislature, and enough de
feated candidates "counted in” to give it
a semblance—the shadow of a shade—of
quorum. This facetious littlobody, im
itating its simon pure prototype, proceed
ed to business likewise, and elected Hon.
George E. Spencer United States Senator
for the term of six years from March 4,
1873.
This pleasant little farco having been
signified to Governor Lewis, he kept up
-the joke in an nnimitable way, by certi
fying to nobody in particular, but under
the State’s official seal, that George E.

Spencer having received a majority of
all the votes in both houses, was duly
elected Senator to represent the State of
Alabama in the Congress of the United
States. This pleasant little billet-doux
having been presented in tho way of cre
dentials by Mr. Spencer, tho Senate of
tho United States, determined not to be
ontdone in practical humor hy a little
Governor and a pretending Legislature,
immediately decided that it would not
examine into Mr. Spencer’s credentials
nor into Senator Sykes’s claims, but
would admit Mr. Spencer and let him
take tho oath unquestioned merely be
cause he happened to have the Govern
or’s certificate.
The cream of this particular joke lay
in tho fact that only two ycare before
this very samo Senate, when Senator-
elect Golthwaite had come up from Ala
bama, duly elected, duly armed with a
Governor’s certificate and the fact of
his election challenged hy nobody, had
refused to swear him in, had sent his
credentials to lie on tho table, and had
kept him ont of his scat for a whole year,
without any excuso whatever!
After a great deal of perplexity Attor
ney General 'Williams appeared in Mont
gomery like a dcus ex machines, and, with
threats of Grant’s interference, patched
up a truco in the shape of a “fusion Leg
islature,” which, disregarding tho juste
milieu in every other respect, showed its
gratitude to its creator, the Attorney
General, by unseating Democrats enough
to keep up a working Radical majority.
The Senate has nineteen Democratic
member* in a total of thirty. The Sena-
tors from Marengo and Barbour coun
ties were unseated with perhaps a show
of justice, but there was not even a pre
text for the act by which Mr. Martin, tho
Senator from Conecuh, was displaced and
Mr. Miller, the opposing candidate, put
in his place. This gave the Republicans
a majority in tho fusion Senato. The
act was a fraud throughout, and was only
consummated finally hy a hare broach of
faith, a Radical Senator having broken
his word and voted after pairing off with
Democrat.
These are tho terms upon which Spen
cer sits in the Alabama Senator’s chair
in Congress. Mr. Martin i» now restored
to his seat in tho Alabama Senato; hut
the whole wrong will not have been re
paired so long as Spencer usurps the
placo which belongs to Senator Sykes,
and which ho could not fill even if he
had been legally electod to it.'

Here is tho last and largest anointment
of luck which she has poured upon his
frosty noddle:
When Jay Cooke & Co. stumbled last
year in the financial race and fell, trip
ping np half a continent, among those
who were either tumbled or shaken were
holders of stock in the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway. Mr. Corcoran was carry-
ing considerable of what appeared to him
to be the perilous stuff. Like all other
inflated stock of that animated season,
this was dropping lower and lower in value
every day. Mr. Corcoran did not hanker
for beggary, so he hustled over to Balti
more and invited Garrett, president of
the road, to take the paper, pay him what
it was then worth and call it quits.
"Be easy,” said Garrett. "The stock
is in too many hands. I am letting it
run down in order to eventually gather
it in and make the biggest stake of the
year. Our road wa3 never doing better
than to-day. Keep your stock. Wait
until you hear from me again. Then
buy all you can liy your hands on.”
Arthur Helps says “it requires a very
clever man, and a scrupulous one, to be
obedient.” Mr. Corcoran is both clever
and scrupulous. He followed orders;
went home; watched and waited. Bal
timore and Ohio stock drooped and droop
ed until one morning at breakfast Mr.
Corcoran read in his paper that it was
down to 30. Then the servant brought
in a telegram which ran thus: “It goes
do lower; begin buying at once.—Gar
rett.”
The obedient instinct and culture were
still predominant. Mr. Corcoran bought
and bought. The stock held at 30 for a I ATTORNEYS AT LAW,
