The Moot Congress Of The University

This organization iustituted by members of the Law Department some timo ago, is niaking very rapid progress, and furnishea a splomlid opportunity for gaining ini'ormation not only in pariiamentary but constitutional law. The house is oomposed of one hundred mctnbcrs representing the different states of the Union, and the officers are electod for a term of four weeks. At the flrst election of officers W. CHudson of Ohio was choson Speaker on third ballot, and at tho expiration of his term of office he was re-elected to the same position on the first ballot. He is a very fine looking man of light complexion is about bíx feet in height, well proportioned and easy in manners making an admirable appearance. Ilis politics are democratie but not a bitter partisan, and has always had the reputation here of a man withuublemibhed character, and good judgmont. His executive ability is not often excolled and his knowledge of ary law as is shown by bis rapid and correct application of it; and his firni but unpartisan ruling is to bo adraired by all.

Wichie of Minn. is not to be loft without nicntion; heissmall in stature but ia known aa a rapid thinker, and often rousea the whole houso by his fiery eloquenoe and from the bill introduced by hiin at last meeting we should judgo he meant death to Mormonisna in the U.
