NOTES IN THE STATE HOUSE..
=, In the calm which seems again TO- pervade the
House since the waves excited by the debate on the
resolution ofnquiry mentioned yesterday, have subs-
ded, perhaps we cannot better employ our leisure
than by describing the appearance OF the House, ge-
neraly and individually. The members, as has been
already remarked, are for the most part new: Mr.;
CURTIS, OF WATERFOWL, was member IN 1881, and
was then thorn in the side Of loco focoism. He has
dry, shrewd manner of speaking-says many good
| things in quaint and peculiar manner which adds
ties, distinguished for his remarkable good sense
Without attempting to be brilliant, he will prove one
of the most useful members Of the body to which he
! leOngs. Of q somewhat similar character is Mr..
Duton, Of Bridgeport. He is lawyer Of distinction
in Fairfield county, and Of the most able men in
the House. AS q speaker he is argumentatve; dis
gree tournament, he appeals rather to the understand
ing than the passions, and cannot fail exercise very
great influence even with his political opponents
| except on those subjects upon which the minds OF
men are Influenced by none but political considera
| tons.
The first Clerk Of the House, Mr.. Catlin Of Harwn:
ton. was . member during the sessions OF 1887 and
1888, and distinguished himself as ready and forc
bic DICTATOR He has practised law some years at the
South, and has acquired in good degree the pecu-
artes OF Southern speakers His situation as Clerk
Of the House, will prevent his taking 50 active part
IN the debates at the present session as he might 9TH
erwise do. We predict however that the administra-
ton party will find him dangerous opponent.
Mr.. Barnard Of Hartford is already favorably known
to the public as an eloquent and finished speaker
We have not had tho pleasure OF hearing him at the
present session.
OF Mr. Foster and Mr.. Copeland we expressed our
opinion yesterday. They are both powerful and rea-
dy speakers and we trust some Of the Administration
orators in the House will give them opportunity of
discussing the merits Ct loco focoism Judging from

cal campaign, the minority in the House will not be
likely TO provoke on encounter. They will find that
There are several other Wing members who have
the reputation OF being very able men. We shall
take another opportunity to speak OF their relative

the principle that the better part Of wit is brevty He
i Mr. Copp very sensible man and hot loco ioco
popular at the last session. and thus far he seems to
have lost none of the good will Of his fellow members
in the present house. As speaker he lays no great
claim TO eloquence and would find it rather difficult
to make three hours speech, Ia CleacelGnd, from
the fact that when he has said thing once, he has
too much good sense to repeat it I'D minimum On the
one on the administration side Of the house.
