Committees. We give below the
Committees in Congress. Both in the
Senate and House very poor spirit has
been discovered in relation to some of the
appointments. Not a northern man, in
the Senate, except Mr.. Woodbury. is chair
man of Committee and he is elevated
to that post to look after the interests OF
commerce! In the committee on the Ju-
dietary the scattering Mr. Rowan of Ken
lucky, is chairman, and Mr.. Webster is
placed almost at the other end. Mr..
Haynes of s. G. is Chairman of the Com
mittee on naval affairs, and Mr.. Webster
I is put at the bottom.
In the House Mr.. Mallary is the only
chairman from the north Or any important
committee.
/ Mr. Crowninshield, formerly chairman
Of the naval Committee, has to make
room for Mr.. Huffman, and to play Sec
ond fiddle, while Mr.. Everett, formerly
the chairman of the highly important Com
mittee on foreign affairs now takes the
second place and Mr.. Archer, the "insati-
ate Archer" is placed over his head.
| We like magnamimity in an enemy.
1t shows then that he is an enemy worth
contending with. But the spirit which
leads to the displacing of such men as
Webster and Everett from the office Of
chairman, is mean, thoroughly con-
temptible spirit, and must take away, in
the minds of honorable men, that re-
spect that presiding officers should always
endeavour to merit.
