W. HOUSTON<\/a>,<br \/>\nwho is, what we call, a &#8220;Floater;&#8221; that is, representing two counties which have one or two representatives each, besides the &#8220;Floater.&#8221; Mr. Houston represents Washington county, which is entitled to two and a half representatives; and Issaquena county, which is entitled to one and a half representatives. And the half from each of the above-named counties form a <em>whole<\/em> representative in the person of my little friend Houston. Here is a little fellow that everybody likes. The members look upon him as a sort of pet. He is about twenty-three years of age; short, but inclined to be stout; high forehead; black hair; a black and glossy moustache and imperial; a thin and nicely shaped nose; such a shaped mouth as I have heard ladies admire, (and you know that they mean by that;) light-brown complexion; and from his habiliments could well be called <em>Beau Brummell<\/em>. Mr. Houston is probably the youngest member in the House, but takes an active part in the matters of legislation, and is an attractive speaker. He generally speaks with a slip of paper held between his thumb and fore finger, and shakes it violently at the Speaker. He recently introduced a bill by which all teachers shall be paid in currency instead of warrants, as is now the case in many counties.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>New National Era, February 27, 1873<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":418,"height":742,"file":"2018\/07\/houston.png","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"houston-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/houston-150x150.png"},"medium":{"file":"houston-169x300.png","width":169,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/houston-169x300.png"},"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar":{"file":"houston-100x100.png","width":100,"height":100,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/houston-100x100.png"},"full":{"file":"houston.png","width":418,"height":742,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/houston.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":502,"source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/houston.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=964"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"page","id":502,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
