tSenator Ransom's " sky-rockety
speech, delivered ia tho Senate the
other day, ia which be told of the ex
traordinary blood that flows in M, C.
Jiutkf veins, appears to hare had a
bail effect kjpon hi at. lie was so exci
ledjoyer hb effort that he immediately
Weal to ; one of the cioak rooms of the
ben ale -. Chamber and fainted away.
ilia condition was quite serious for a
time, aod it is said that he believed he
was about to "pass in hb checks." He
dido4k..dio however, we are glad to
know; but has been confined to his room
since. .liis creditable to the Senator
that his nature experienced such an
effort. It made him quite sick, but in
the end it wjll prove beneficial, on the
same principle that an emetic adminis-
tereatoa tick man souieUmesgives relief.
The Senator i- just about twenty years
behind -the age. These explosions of
gas were once looked upon as some
thins very necessary in politics, espe
cially ia southern politics, but that day
has parsed. Spread eazle oratory is
not what the people of this matter of
Tact generation expect. Mr. Kansom
will learn by aud by, and Ihen there
will be no occa-uou for beating himself
30 with eulogies on bine bliod as to
force the blood 111 hb own veins to his
dead and brinjr on an attack of vertigo.
