The New York members, who pray very often in secret when the object is a profitable one, looked amazed as the words fell upon thelr ears; the indigent countrymen, who are “for sale” at low prices every day in the week grinned broadly, and several well known lobbyists, who always have tho privilege of the floor turned towards one another with a knowing smile, while the galleries tittered and the pages wondered whether the sudden sileace: Was ominous of a row.
