ond was no letter. The third w*? dnll and common?
place. Faces grew blank, and ladles began to look un?
easy. In about five minutes, Mr. Nye finished all ho had
to say upon the arm* ?caudal-though exactly what that
llttlo was I am mire I cannot remember?and launched
out upon a general glorification of the Republican party,
pretty much tu tho style of Senator Morton. He spoke
for an hour and u half, and ntrrr made a yaba, Ba was
a? solemn as Harlan and as dull a? fiarrett Davis. Tlie
aaiuc fault which Mark Twain fluds with the latest of hi*
own productions, the Hon. Mr. Nyo might have found
(barring some modifications) with tula unfortunate
speech. "Thoro Is quito a good deal of information io
Uils book,"said Mark; "I would it were otherwise; but
the mort' I caulk up tho sources and the tighter I get, the
more I leak wisdom." I will not go ro far a* t<> ?ay that
Mr. Nye to-rtoy lonked wisdom, but I am miro ho did not
leak wit. ,1 am sure that nobody laughed at els speech ;
aud hundreds who sat patiently for hours lu the hot and
crowded falleries, -with tho expectation of witnessing
Turlous Intellectual contortions and sldo-spllttlng tom?
fooleries, aro to-night donouncliig Mr. Jamos Nye
as a hoary fraud. Whatever this gentleman's abil?
ities In the character of Senatorial Joker, can?
dor oornpe-ls me to say that as a ?crions speaker ho is far
In in mi? o-sful. In the abajaba) of sobriety, Mr. Nye la
a most unattractive person. His Ideas are commonpl.ice,
and his delivery is a wild alternation of whoops and whis?
pers diversified with btn^s. Hospices every sentence
with an average of two slaps of the hand and one ponnd
lngof tho d i?k, and attach of these mechanical excla
raaiiou points obliterates at least one word, his sentences
MM not always a? clear as fastidious listeners might desire
tbemtobot *'It l? evident, Mr. Speaker, by tho tono of
tho (slap) by the flan M flou hero (bang) and by the talk
(?boat) at the troabia (whi-per), that a strong (slap)
effort (slap) is being made (?bout) to destroy the Repuls
Ucan (wh.fpcr. bang)." I have said that Mr. Nyo did
not makoojnke all day (unless the wholo speech was
a J >Vo, but he did raise a ripple of laughter
by the following remark: "ForgivncB.? Is tho sweetest
thing In tho world. I have been forgiven moro tines
perhaps than any BU living, und it always feels good."
It will be a long tluie, however, before Mr. Nye is for?
given for the shameful liaponturo he has to-day Commit?
ted, and long before he retrieves his damaged reputation
i,B the Hunipty Dumpty of the Senate. I do not see
what Is now to prevent the elongation of the debate
for unother week. perhaps for another fortnight, nas
Ocn. (?rant no Judicious friends to save him from the
charlatans who are talking him to death In the Semite t
A rosolutln? of inquiry wu* Introduced to-day In tho
. and passed in one minute 1 The Renate after de

"IMisoner at the bar, what do j ??n ?ay to the abaraje,

If Morton aud Coukling hud been ouly moderately sa?
gacious, fh-.y would have accepted Mr. Bumner'i resolu?
tion a: once, and, with a temperate and dlguiflcd pioti it
arrainst the preamble, sent the Inquiry to an Impartial
Committee the very ?unie day. Tin y hure, on tho con?
trary, taken two week* to convince the woild that fli'-y

legislation that will aatiafj tba authors, aud at the name
UOM not injure the business of the publisher-?, or largely
Innreaari thn aitnr nf books, that some of the meinbers
are ?i:?posed to let the subject go by default. A uie< ting
ol the Comtnlttee wa1? called yesterday, but no quorum
attended. If any bill 1m Anally agreed upon, it will prob?
ably provide that foreign works may ba npiuiied by
any American publlaber, and that tbe authors aball be
entitled to a small jw-n entage on the ?ale?. The amount
generally apoken of l^ 10 i>er ?ant. Tala would
permit competition among pnhliabera, and prevent any

of tbe kind would be contint? ut upon Uie Rritl"h (in\

The House Committee on Railroads and Canals will

Attorney-Gen. Williams met tho House Committee on
Post Offices to-day, to make a atatamant with reference
to tlie Investigation now coing forward Into the conduct
of the Portmaster-Ocneral, in reletting contracta In tho
Southern mall tervlce. Before Mr. V/llllamt waa ap?
pointed Attorney-General he was employed by a nnmher
of contractor* to appear before the Postmaster -General
and ataba an argument In their la-half. The position as?
sumed by the I'osttuasfcr-Gt'fieral was that, lu caso tho
contracting party tailed to perform his contra, t the De
partment should advertise for new bids, and not go
through the list of bidders who failed to obtain tbe eon
tract. Mr. Williams, as a lawyer, argued that tbe Po t
master (ieiiei, i should exhaual bfa 'piuposalt befo
vertlslrig a r( letting. Tlie question was subsequently
submitted to the Attorney-General, Mr. Ake-mui, who
gave tho opinion that the, PritmaaffTfltinfirtl should
agamadvi rtlM- for proposals. It appears ta at II
been the nnvtiie. of tho Department lor more than 20
years. Tbe Attorney-General was called before the
Committee, to bUtc tho fads us they occurred at that
liant.

The two bills to aid tho construction of orean tele.

Foreign R< lntloiis, to-day, and the friends of cacti ap

banda, to ba laaood for tbe construction of an Atlantic
line, arid the oilier asks the samo Indorsement of

It may bo Interesting to the few who read tho editorial
