Someoats Ass& but the majority are on the wrong side of forty, with a laird look about their faces, and lines that are trucks 1 of tried feelings and past disappoint ments. The average Congressman is not a man of the world. He marries be fore he achieves greatness, and it.s knowledge is limited to a very prim itive social condition, where he en countered and wed the plain, homely little woman who shares his elevation without adding much to its dignity or grace. When such a man wines within reach of the more ordinary specimens of these Delilahs, he is somewhat intoxicated by the atten tion, and votes away vast domains, subsidies to huge monopolies, under the influence of two tender eyes or the confidential tap of a sandal wood fan. The study of the'avertige Con giessman from a social, or, indeed, any point of view, is not only of in terest, but important, if we wish to understand and appreciate the work ings of our free institutions. Taken from the common walks of life, he Hods himself translated out of a little office where poverty waits on busi ness, and an humble home, barely possessed of the ordinary comforts of life, to the gorgeous magnificence of a marble palace—gorgeous beyond his wildest dreams. As he approwthes its many entrances, obsequious ser vants bend before him and the magic doors swing on easy hinges, as if eon rcious of his rights and privileges ; nimble pages obey his slightest wish and anticipate his needs. His mail 'natter• suddenly swells to an enor- in ous extent. The average Congress man appreciates the mail matter. It costs him nothing and indicates his greatness. In the committee room, where his delegated body re• poses in a velvot cushioned chair, under ceilings where gorgeous fres coings weary the eye, he hasa realiz ing greatness. This is not diminish ed when the committee, after half an hour's heavy labor on public affairs, draws the bottle from a bidden r C 11! 8 of the heavily carved walnut closets; a bottle with which to refresh their gigantic minds. The average Congressman revels in stationery. The man who never read a book with a taste for reading, and regaded pen, ink and paper as punishments, suddenly wakens to a thirst for stationery. lie seizes on hot-pressed satin sprface, gilt edge, French, English and Yankee paper! How he does eye and grasp the snowy envelopes neatly_ packed and put at his disposal! He makes a requisi tion for his stationery in the house and sends it to his boarding house to astonish his wife. In the committee room the clerk, if he is an amiable man, draws other and further sta tionery for him. Much depends upon this. Once the Committee on Commerce was honored by my presence as a clerk to the same. Some days after I was duly installed the messenger entered the committee room ladeu, with sta tionery, in response to my requisi tion. "Here Colonel," said the obligiog messenger, "lock this up and don't let the Congressmen have any; they waste it so." -But it is when the average Congress man first comes in contact with the female lobby, that he realizes his translation. These am to him refill ed, fascinating and beautiful crea tures. His pow little comely wife fad, Into naught. Ms life seems to have been barren until then—and now he, regrets the: early marriage that AMA him opt from a union with one of theie elegant women! That: are two sorts-Of procemes through which fraudulent legislation Is perfected.

National Legialato* that costs the people more than the legitimate law making power. thejti diciary _and the executive. I was turning this over in my mind duringthe late session, while I sat on the sofa In the Cave of the Winds, listening to the blowing to and fro about me, when I happened to cast my eyes to the ladles' gallery above, and out of the gloom saw a memory come in the shape of a fair face. These galleries were not con structed with an eye to effect, so far as female loveliness Is concerned, at the dim light from above / gives a ghastly paleness that not only de stroys the beauty but seriodsly dam ages the expression. Under the cir cumstances the face failed to locate Itself, and my memory was dim and uncertain as the flashes of a\ former life that come to us at times between sleeping and waking. I was so disturbed and haunted by this memory, that 4 left my seat and sauntered into the gallery, seating myself near my fair friend, and Without rudely staring I foufid my mind gradually gathering up the dist , jointed fragments of ithe past, until the fair ftwe •was framed In and gated; It was a verY trweet face, not so Young as.' it Was but With apt? vatting onortsslon of childlike inno eetice. Add to this amannerofgreat refinement, set off and adorned in the extreme of the fashion, but sulxieued to the best taste and most artistic harmonizing of colors, and I had an old acquaintance before me. Al-, though I looked my fait friend in the face, I saw that she bad either for gotten me or was not , disposed to re new the acquaintance. She was talking in a quiet. easy manner to a well known member of Congress, and I considerately withdrew as if I had been looking in the face of an utter stranger, instead of one well known In times gone by. An hour after- • wards I happened to be on the en trance to the Senate Chamber, where the multitude of marbles steps seem ed to run out and flovedown, when my fair friend came by,accompanied by her Congressional escort, late of the gallery, and almost brushed me with her dress--the two descended. I saw a neat private carriage, drawn by a handsome pair f bays, and driven by a coachman in livery:drive up. My friend of the law-making power helped the lady in with a bow; the door swung too with a bang, and the fair one drove away, while' the Solon came up the steps, humming a tune and snapping his fingers, as if especially pleased with himself. Hav ing a speaking acquaintance, I begged pardon for my curiosity, and asked :Solon the name of his friend. , of New York," was thequiet response. The whole of these surroundings were apparently so life-long and re spectable, and so entirely different from those that 1 believed formerly hedged in the lady, that I was in doubt. But no; the longer I thought upon the matter, the more I felt sat isfied of the identity. And the re membrance was singular. While detained in Washington during the war, awaiting orders, I was invited by a brother officer to a wine supper. The people giving the entertainment were strangembut taking my friend's Word, I went. . I was particularly struck with two of the guests—one a slender youth, with large. dark eyes, and a broad, thoughtful forehead, whom 1 took for an Italian or a Prenchrnan—his name has since ta ken its place upon the roll of humor tality; pinned there by the most f:ftrfor - crime ever conimltted—the other a beautiful woman of twenty, in fact, but much younger in appear ance. I found this young lady ex ceedingly charming, as she was not only lovely in person but lively in mind. We broke up at a late hour of the night, or : . rather an early hour of the ►morning; and being ordered away a few days after, the wine supper and merry people there assembled, soon passed from my mind in the hurried eventful life of thecamp. They were destined to return. Could the future have been anticipated, death would have set at our board that night, and phantom visions of, dreadful events dimmed the glittering lights,- and settled in. horrible gloom on the coun tenances of the assembled guests. Toone Death would have said: "I will claim you at Charicellorsville;" to another, "We will meet at night and I will save you from the gallow." Of that little assembly in the sup per room, two only survive—l and another. While we were in command at Baltimore, and after Col. Fish got in to the difficulty with Baker, so that I had for a time immediate control of the Provost Marshal's office, I re ceived a card at the Eutaw House, from a lady waiting to see me in the parlor. Repairing to that reception room I found my fair friend of the wine supper at Washington. So far as her beauty went she remained the same, but her wardrobe evinced straightened circumstances, if not poverty. She gave me a long ac count of her troubles, and wound up by offering to go to Richmond in the employ of the govern cnentand return with all the information she could gather for the use of the War De partment in Washington. lat once engaged her, but did not send so sus picious looking an agent into the enemy's country until after I had given her a fair trial in Baltimore. She proved the most adrdit, cun ning, self-possessed detective that I ever saw or read of. She afterwards made two successful trips to Rich mond, returning with valuable in formation, although. Mr. Stanton had no question but that she carried to the Confederates as much as she brought away. I left the army, and saw and heard no more of my pretty little detective until the day I met her in the ladies' gallery so elegantly gotten up and surrounded. That is, if she were re ally the same. All doubt on this subiect was removed by a note I re ceived the next day, inviting me to an interview at the fair woman's lodgings. I found her surrounded with elegant upholstery, and yet more fascinating in the delicate morning robe that so adorns a beau tiful woman by the concealed effort to adorn. A tall, square built iron gray man of au intensely respectable appearance was introduced as her husband, and as long as he ,remained no allusion whatever was made to the past, other than the few werda of an intruchiction as an old and valued friend. Soon as he , left• however, she turned and said: "Row kind of you not to recognize me yesterday. My poor heart was In my mouth when I sawyou 'oP proach. But you have such tact— you have such a kind heart; I was relieved in a moment when I' saw that you started as if only attracted by my charms." "Why, wouldn't your husband put up with the part you ate, I , Suppose, concealing from him?" "My husband!"--and she gave a silvery little laugh—"My husband, that fellow! Why he isn't my bus band. But if the lion.— you saw me with yesterday, were to suit. wet for a moment, I would be ru ined!" "Come Ilow,i.his is interesting; tell e ail about it. What, little garde are you up to?

"Well, - dtises it require a sham hus band; a handsome carriage, and all this sort of thing to set up a lobby 'agent?" 'Certainly. Without a husband would not be respectable; without a carriage and all this evidence of wealth I Leonid not be attractive. It pays, however I could now retire on a hundred thousand. But I am horribly ambitious. / I want a million —only think of it, I must have a million. I havesold myself for mon ey and I want a big price." "And do none of the honorable representatives know who you are?" Why, you goose! I thought you knew better than that. - Why, the ring always reaches into the House and Senate,and some of our directors are the most respectable men in Con gress. There is one, the most ben evolent, pious, philanthropic, Indi vidual in the world., He IA so in tepsely pious that he never speaks-to inc.; nevertheless he pays me heavily. ' There is another,A most respectable gentleman, who bows to me pro (Oundly in the gallery and on the aw, entte,•and presents me to ,his family with a lofty air who would look at me with intense wonder and piston h3hmentif I were to thank high for my clothes, carriages and servants. Yet he contributes." "Why, this is so damnable I can scarcely credit—" "Yes, it is 'Very winked, and I'd rather ion wouldn't believe it. But after the schooling you gave me in deceiving, you ought not to won der." "You mean that for a hit. You forgot that that service was in behalf of your beloved country; and this—" "Is in behalf of my beloved self:" "But do you mean to say that men In high position connive at this wickedness?" "Look about you; see he enorm ous fortunes realize d by fficials, and you will see that nine , s not the on y carriage rolling_ abOut Washing ton that is a frao, and I am but among the host of the wicked. You are too much a man of the world, Colonel, to be astonished at finding' a good deal of sanctimonious respec tabitity covering rascality. It is the cheapest cloak to get and the easiest, to wear." "And how do you influence these Solons?" "Sometimes one way, sometimes another, but always In being very quiet and exclusive. The men bought cheaply are not worth buy ing. My business is among the highest sort, that will not stoop to common carrion, and carry with them great moral character that not only covers themselves, but all the little rogues that vote with them." •tAnd do you often fail?" "Sometimes; not often, fur , my mission is to capture the leaders: The lesser l;glits are left to coarser means.

You'd be astonished to know how little the tongue and ear have to do with this business. Then there is Mr. —, who began life with a homely. unre fined wife, and is now ashamed of her.

You area woman of line intellect, an - Inteneet-that-app •-• genius- You could command admi ration, respect, wealth by devoting your ifts- Wan honorable pursuit." Her face flushed for a moment, and then starting to her feet and pa cing the floor in some excitement, she exclaimed ; "I learned my power when it was too late. But you are the last man to upbraid me. Do you know when I learned my power as an actress? r will tell you. Under your tuition while in Baltimore. I came to you starving and you sent me into private lamilies to worm out their secrets and betray their intentions." "There you go again. That was in the service of your country, and the people possessed of those secrets were our enemies." "What was the difference, so far ys my character went? But Ido not regret—l have nothing to regret. I have no friends no relatives, no coun try. I. never knew a man who (lid not either insult me or cheat me. I never knew a woman who had not a stony heart an& claws like a cat. I hate them all.. Thily,would hunt me down, and so 1 hunt them down when I can." "But you have made money enough, why not leave this horrible business, and from this out try and possess your soul in peace? You are young yet, you can have many years of happiness before you." "You want me to desist," she said, interrupting me; "I have two good resasons for going on. It is not av arice, although having sold myself to the devil,' am right in getting the best price.for my poor soul. But let me show y'elt.i my two reasons for going on." She walked to an arched recess, and, pulling aside a heavy curtain, showed me, playing on the floor, two eautiful children . "There," she continued dropping the curtain, :`these are my'two rea sons. I cannot give my children a good name but I will give them that which is more precious than a good name in this, mean wicked world of ours. I ,will give them wealth and I will try to teach them to be any thing on earth but what their un fortunate mother was; so that if you betray me you betray them. I left the detective business when I left Baltitncire. I try moral suasion now." And so I took my leave, and I give this imperfect sketch of the way laws are made through the lobby, in our beloved Capital.—(bpilai. THE RICH COUSIN. BY AMY RANDOLPH "At all events, I mean to try," said Rebecca Rollins, And a very determined little char acter she appeared, as she sat there in a brown traveling suit, with a scarlet scarf that involuntarily put one in mind of a robin redbreast. She was round and rosy, with great hazel eyes. where thg liquid lights seemed to swim and debpen beneath a fringe of long curled lashes, pink cheEks, and a red, laughing mouth. Only a busy, hard working tittle dress-mak er, yet many an heiress with pretty money bags and diamond parures would gladly have exchanged lots with Rebecca Rollins, all for the saka of that picture fair face, with its sweet-pea flush and daintly rounded outlines. Sam Rollins, a tall, dark, billious looking girl, well into the thirties, listened rather apprehensively to her sister's audacions words. "But, kleck,y, what will he think?" "Think! What he pleases, to be sure. What do I mire what he thinks? the cross, crabbed old cua ningeotil Am I not his own second cousin? Were not grandmamma and old Mm. Ayley sisters?" "Yes; but—" "One thing , is quite certain," cried Rebecca, nodding her head until the corona! of chestnut-gold hair—all her own, every shining capillary of it— mught brown and bronze lights In the afternoon sunshine: "I have got Established 1818. to stop over night in New-York; and instead of going to a hotel and wasting my slender means, why shouldn't Igo to N 0.5,555 Fifth Av enue? Ontsin Ferdinand is at his Newport cottage—l 'saw that in the 'personals' in the newspapir—and there will only be servants here. I can easily tell them who Lain—" "And suppose they don't believe you?" "Oh, but they3will I" said Becky, shutting her little pearly teeth to gether. "People always do believe me. And, after all, Ferdinand s 'Ay ley is my cousin; havn't I a right in his house?" And nothing would dissuade Becky from her will. "Upon my wbrd, this is very nice," said Becky. She• had pulled the silver bell knob with a certain audacious energy, and stood looking around, with innocent, wide-open eyes of admiration. Yes, It was very nice; nobody could con tradict that assertion. Broad brown stone steps, with fluted rails and heavy newels, crowned with vases of blossoming creepers; rosewood doors. panelled and sliver hinged ; glasa easements, draped with em. broldered and silken folds. Becky had read about such things in novel lore, and dreamed of them in sunset reveries, but never before, in all her nineteen-year-old life, had she beheld their dazzling similitude. Yet, in spite of her resolute self-as sertion, her heart-did give a little fluttering start, as the door slowly swung inward, and a tall, brown faced man in a slovenly linen suit stood before her. "What's wanting 2" he brusquely demanded. "I want to come In!" said Becky, composedly. "I'm your master's cousin, Becky Rollins, from Riker's Mills. You are the butler, I sup pose, or some one in charge? Open the door a little wider, why don't you The man eyed her dubiously. `•Suppose I shouldn't let every one in that says she is Mr. Ayley's cous in?" "0, but you must !" cried Becky, coloring, while the sparkles rose into her brown orbs. "Stand aside! 1 will come in." The man yielded, with a low, chuckling laugh. "Then I shall look to you not to let mi be blamed," he said. "It shall be all right," said Becky, graciously. "Where's the sitting room? Oh, - how Pretty ?" The last exclamation escaped in voluntarily from her lips, tis she en tered a dainty octagon apartment, hung in fluted blue silk, with a vel vet carpet of the softest blue, and low Turkish chairs and sofas, of gilt, up holstered in blue satin. "It makes me feel as if I were in the inside of a morning-glory,"cried Becky, drawing a long breath of oe light. I suppose this is the room where Cousin Ferdinand's wife sits." "Humph !" responded the facto tum. "Yonr cousin—if is your cous in—don't happen to have a wife. Shall I order your supper?" ''When you please," said Becky, sitting luxuriously down in a shell shaped chair, and feeling like some fairy princess who had just come into her kingdom. "No wife?" untying her bonnet strings. Just like hitn-L a cross, crusty old bachelor!" . "You've hit it exactly," said the man, lingerihg to adjust the window l e eurta'ns. •"But how did you know? Yo ve never seen him / 1 take .it ?" ". uri've timffdef him though," said Becky. "Rich people lila an just so, A stingy, cross grained, eccentric man, who never - has had the grace to send so much an cent piece to his poor relations'. Not that they would have accepted it, if ' he had. Now you and I, who have to work for our living— By the Way, what do they call you ?" "John!" , "Exactly," nodded Becky. "You and 1, John, are in no danger of be coming calloused through this world's prosperities." "Here's your supper," said John bluntly, as a soft-stepping servant brought in a silver tray loaded with delicacies. "And I suppose your'e hungry. Everybody is that comes from the country. 1 came from the country myself once." Becky clasped her hands. "Wine and sardines, and white grapes and iced pound-cake !" she cried gleefully. "Exactly like the Arabian Nights. Please don't go, John. lam sure that the minute you vanish a genius will rise from the cracks in the floor, all smoke and flarnes,and whisk me away to Rider's Mills again. You seem to be avery respectable, substantial sort of man ; pray stay and keep me company.. How much wages do you have "Not much," growled John, in a sort of indistinct basso. "Didn't I tell you so?" said Becky, taking a small sip of iced claret. "Dear me! is this wine? For my part I like sweet cider better. Yes— didn't I say Cousin Ayley was a mi ser? What makes you look at me so strangely? You think I talk too much? \N ell, may be I do. Please give me a glass of cold water instead of this stuff that tastes like stale vin egar. Well, if I were you, John, I wouldn't stay in his service." " What would you do?" asked John, with rather an amused face. "A man must live." "Live! Of course. he must," Becky answered, nibbling at her slice of iced pound-cake. "But he need n't necessarily live in a state of shi very. Go out to Riker's Mills. Be a farm hand. You'll get good wa ges, and be treated like an equal. Why," with a slight elevation of her velvety brown eyebrow, "I am on ly a woman, but I would die sooner than to stoop to ask my rich Ayley fora copper cent of his money. lam independent." When Becky Rollins nestled into her silken coverleted bed that night, she thought sleepily what a nice man her cousin's steward was. "I wish he would come to Riker's .hills," she thought. "But he won't. Men are so conservative." Three months afterward, Rebecca Rolling came hpige to spend the Christmas holidays, and darted into the littlesitting-room, a bright vision of shining eyes, scarlet cheeks, and dishevelled hair. "I've come!" she cried. "So has he!" said her sister Sarah. "Who?" "Why cousin Ferdinand, to be sure." "Pshaw!" said Becky, making a little gestura of dissatisfaction. "Well, Ideciare," said Sarah. "I never thought you were such great friends. He does nothing but quote you." Becky opened wide her eye. "Mer But I never saw him in my life. Pray where is he?" And she walked boldly into the front room, and found herself con fronting—John! "Oh, John!" she cried frankly. "I am so glad-to see you. And how is the old skinflint ? ' John colored a little. "Pray don,t be angry with me, Mies Becky; but I am the bid 'skin flint' myself." "You!" "I am John Ferdinand Ayley." Becky turned and lied into the other room, her face scarlet, her eyes downcast. "No, Sarah, no!" repulsing her ale= ter's attempts at soothing her; "I never, never can face him again. Oh, what must he think of me?"

Are you a mechanic? If so, learn your trade well, not con tenting yourself with being an aver age ilvorkman, but strive to become master of yot* art, always bearing in mind the old Adage, "What is worth doing at all, is worth doing well."

J. Donald Cameron. son of the Senator, is put down for a large snm, while ex-Senator Cattell, Secre tary Robeson,and some of "the boys" of Philadelphia are mentioned as liberal subscribers. This scheme has been "chinned" over fora long time. Everything is now arranged, so the report goes, and all that is wanted is an editor. As indicated in our Washington letter of last week, Mr. Brigham, of the Pittsburgh Cbmmercial, was re garded with favor, and the fact that this gentleman has been in Philadel phia all week, in consulation with the parties now so potent-in political affairs, is significant. Mr. Eagan, the business manager of the Cbmmer cial, is also here, but professes to know nothing of, the enterprise, or of the intentions of Mr Brigham. We are disposed to think that Col. Forney's eyes w i I not, "like stars, start from their spheres" by - the sudden appear ance of that journal, whose shadow has so long been standing on our wall.

VIC AND TtiNNIE CAGED• Arrest of the Notorious Woodhull and Claflin for Publishing a scurri lous, Obscene For some days past we have k vii of,•but refrained from mentioning, a publication put into circulation against Rev. fignry Ward Beecher and Mrs. Theodore Tilton, by Mrs. Victoria Woodhull, through the me dium of Woodhull and Oaflin's Week ly, a paper which suspended publica tion some time ago, but whiCh semis to have been revived for this purpose, and for assailing the characters of others of equally high standing. The charges against the lady and gentleman named are of the gravest .itrs. Woodhull asserts that they have been criminally intimate; that they have acknowledged their. guilt in the presence of the guiltless Victoria, and plead' with her not to • expose them. These accusations are made with great circumstantiality, date and place of each criminal trans action being given, and conversations between the accused and the accuser In justification of her sourse, Airs. Woodhull pleads that she has been persecuted for opinion's sake, and is now houseless and penniless. Land lords refused to rent their premises hi her; hotels would not give her shelter; that for a ghort time she had apartments at a large Broadway ho tel, but the landlord gave her notice to leave, ris the ladies of the house had risen in rebellion, and Would not remain if the Woodhull was lon ger permitted to tarry. The latter thrwe herself on her reserved rights, refusing to go so long as she should he guilty of no unbecoming action. Returning to- her room one night, she found her personal, effects in the hall, and especial officer barring her entrance. She was compelled to spend the nlght'in her office on Broad street, and there was obliged tq stay a considerable time before better quarters could be found. The "bulls" and "bears" of Wall street have turned against her, causing her to lose much money, and finally the owner of the building in which she had her office, refused lnger to tol erate her presence therei n. "Hell 'lath no fury like a woman scorned." Mrs. Woodhull now. de clares war against her kind, and'an nounces that her harist., is against every man's hand. _ Sbe gives notice to all men and woman—more par ticulary the latter—to beware. De velopments are threatened . by this irate woman of a nature to unsettle our social system. The Weekly containing the charges I noted above, and thejustification of , the editress, was not permitted first to see the light in New York city. Thousands of copies were sent into every important city and town in the country several days in advance of its appearance there. Two heavy editions were required, and it ap pears that all were bought up with the greatest avidity. The manner of detailing the charges was grossly in delicate—obscene— in fact surpass- 4. ing the coldest sensations of the most indecent publications known as "po lice,gazettes," etc. Of course this caused great excite ment in New York, Brooklyn and elsewhere, the publication being de nounmd unsparingly. On Saturday * Victoria Woodhull and Tennle Claflin, editors; Col. - Blood, presetit "husband" of Mrs. 'Woodhull; wit liam Deuyse, stereotyper, and Wil liam A Smith, printer of the Weeklth were arrested on -warrants Issued by the United States- Commissioner, on olth of L.
