wrote hastily from the Capitol by the After
noon cars, so as not to crowd you with matter al
midnight. The arrangement of the COMMITTEES
of the House is the ruling topic. Some OF them
are good, and some e1ecrable, wholly apart from
politics. Putting Gen. NJ M'hAr at the head OF
the WAYS and Means is broad absurdlty tie
is 3 heavy, respectable man, who has been many
wears in Congress- but the idea OF his leading the
House and originating its Financial measures IS
farce. He is an Indifferent and lnrequent oe-
batter, and has little prominence except as SOUTH

Isp1AsA.-We have already published cor
respondence from Indianapolis giving an account
of the meeting of the Indiana Legislature and
the organization of the two Houses. Governor
BI9GER's valedictory Message was sent in on the
9Th The Message is short, but able and manly.
The current expenses of the State for the fiscal
year ending 3ls: October last, were 800, ,89I.-
The estimate for the next year 100000. Rev
enue for the present year, most of which will be
paid in Treasury Notes, s240,0O0 The Cover
nor recommends that no more Treasury notes be
issued, as they are now below par, and q reissue
would tend to their still farther depreciation.
Throwing these Notes again into circua-
ton" says the Message, "ls TO require the people
to again redeem them: and it is respectfully sub
mitted. whether it would not be the better course
to resort to such temporary loans as might be
found expedient and practicable.''
The State debt in le41 was sl5,059,000 on
which no interest has been paid since except upon
that portion OF It borrowed from the State Banks.
The stockholders of the Lawrenceburgh and
indianapolis Railroad Co. have returned bonds IN
lieu of those issued by the State to the Company.
Some OF t1e DJliuS D tlle 'SLtlc LdN Z
been taken up, and part Of the Treasury notes
in circulation have been received in the collection
OF revenue, so that the debt of the State stands
| about the same as in Al.
a company has been recently organized under
the act of 1912, providing for letting the public
works to companies, with view to the compile
ton of the Cross Cut Canal terminating at Terre-
Haute, under very favorable circumstances.
On the 9Th the Governor elect JAMES WHIT
COMB, took the oath Of office and delivered his In
augural Address. He deplores the distress and
embarrassment which Indiana, together with the
rest Of the Western States, is experiencing,
" consequent upon system of over banking, and
its natural progeny over.trading and deceptive
speculation" and recommends industry and
economy.
{" Our consumption says the Governor, /" hav-
ing exceeded our income, the balance must be
restored by corresponding excess Of our receipts
over our expenses"
TIE failure of the State TO meet its indebted
ness has not proceeded from disinclination to
preserve the public faith, but from absolute ina
bility to pay. Gov. Whltcombs as also Gov.
Bigger's remarks on Reputation will be found in

Great Robbery.

Wall street was thrown into ferment yester-
day by the report that one of the trunks belong
ing to Messrs. Pomeroy & Co.'s Express had been
lost in some mysterious manner from on board the
Albany boat yesterday morning. 1t was an iron
trunk and contained all the money and valuable
packages belonging to the brokers and banks. 1t
appears that MIR. Copp, one OF the house, who
was the traveller, came to the Office upon his ar
rival, about midnight, and stated that his trunks
were on board the boat usual. Early in the
morning he started on his return to Albany by,
the Housatonic Railroad, taking the up freight
After he had gone and not before as was general
y reported yesterday, it was discovered that this
valuable trunk could not be found and the man.
ner of its disappearance remains perfect mys
tery The officers Of the boat know nothing
about it and the absence of Mr.. Copp very much
embarrasses the search. Messengers were sent
to Philadelphia, Boston and Albany yesterday af-
lernoon to discover if possible some track Of the
missing property, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that it will yet be recovered. 1t was reported
that Mr.. Copp stated the trunk was placed in
charge Of Capt. Schultz and that the Captain de-
MED it, which raised question of vcracity; but
this report is without foundation, as Mr. Copp
made no such statement 1t is most probable that
some OF the numerous rogues who are continual
ly on the watch for plunder during the night sue
ceeded in getting the trunk off the boat.

count of mails sent from the Albany Post-Ottice

HORSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Washington, Dec II. lS43
wes out ia my reckoning on Saturday the
Chivalry' hare got the lead Of the House on the
Tariff question The Committees are not yet
announced, but understand the Chairmen of the
most important are as follows:
Was and Means-Mr. RHETT Of S. c.
Judiciarp-Mr c.. ]. INcERsoLL Of Pa.
Commercs-Mr. S. BEARpsLEy of n. Y
E.ectious-Mr. w. w. PAYNE Of Ala.
Manufactures-Mr.D Dixon H. Lewis! Of Ala.
This shapes the Tariff question de6nitlvely.-
Unless Mr.. RHErr is checkmated by TIC CON-
position OF his Committee (Which, am conf.
dent, he cannot bc,) we shall have the Tariff
question opened in all its length and breadth by
the Report and Bill Of this Committee, based on
the state Of the Treasury. We shall have a
pretty broad Free Trade proposition, and then
comes the beginning of the end
cannot yet learn who is to head the Post Office
Committee, and am told it is not made up.
believe the choice lies between Mr.. MACLAy Of
n. Y. and Mr. HOPKINS Of Va. As the former
Is known to be decidedly in favor of thorough.

Mr.. BEAEDsLEY as Speaker pro TEN. Ito relieve

Douglass of Ill. and G. Davis OF KY MR. viutcn is
understood TO have dscucd Mr. Scenck Of Ohio takes
his place.
Is not this pretty Committee TO sift the ques-
ton OF the right of the Speaker to his seat. The
majority are confident OF the right of the man
they have chosen Speaker to his seat, that they
make Committee tico.thirds Of their own party
TO investigate the case. But this is net all Mr.
CAMpBELL of S, c. ought clearly to have been
Chairman of this Committee. He is Loco
Foco, but a fair, independent man, and has hae
much experience on this Committee. If he had
been Chairman, the public would have been sat
ished that some show of justice would be pre-
served. Now it IS manifest that Jones is TO be
upheld at any rate.
The Senate has reconstructed its committees
to-day, very much as of old. Mr.. MEsxlck oi

II OLE Bulls Concert at the Tabernacle
last evening was perfect jam, and the human
breath filing every inch Of space in the building
affected, it seemed to us, the tone of his instru-
ment. We like Ole Bull better and better. A
Mothers Prayer composed by himself, shows
the poetic sentiment strong in the man. There
were in it some of the most exquisite tones we
ever heard We like him because he does not
stand unmoved as marble, and seem to be think
ing of nothing but Of the effect he is producing
but appears at least to be forgetful for the time of
all around him, and intent alone on giving free
dom to the glorious harmonics that are struggling
within him, pours his very soul into his instru-
ment, TILL blended into one, they seem to be soar
ing away into regions Of brightness and beauty.
The HuTcuINsoNs.-"T The Tribe Of Jesse" is
come again, and give by special request their last
Concert this evening at Nib!o's. The crowds
that throng their Concert rooms while the city
has gone mad after the great Violinist among US,
show that they are marked down among the list
OF universal favorites for the season. 1t will be
necessary to go early, for hundreds, we are told,
went away the last evening unable to get seats.

THANgsoIvlSo.-A thousand pleasant assocla-
tons cluster around Thanksgiving day. by the
most though,less man it is greeted with wei
come and even in its festivities there is subdued
feeling that comes we scarce know from where.
Perhaps it is because 30 many Of us are of New
England descent, and with the day comes the
mornery of past days and holer hours II we
were 10 suggest change in the manner OF Keep
ing the day, it would be to have it employed In
seeking out the poor and in applying the excess
of expenditure we had appropriated to the day, IN
giving them food to eat and raiment to wcar-for
then we should double the amount OF thanksgv
ing, and the wretched would have cause to remen-
Der it, and hail its approach with Joy. We are
glad to see in several of the papers ausion TO the
poor of our city, in connection with this day. This
is right, and while the press is so influential, it
should exert part of its influence at least, IN
behalf of the INDECENT. There are other streetsln
New York besides Broadway, and other rooms
beside the Concert room. A few blocks of build
inps divide worlds as different almost as paradise
and earth. It would benefit our humanity now
and then to look in upon the shlverlng group
around mere mockery Of fire. and give bread to
those who would feed ravcnously on the very
refuse of countless tables in our city. Many who
find it hard 10 kill time could in this way not
only fill up their leisure hours with employment,
but with the richest happiness on eartf--that OF
conferring happiness on others. Amid the hurry
and clamor of business, and the claims OF plea
sure, we forget the poor and lose sight of the only
true source of happiness. The cold winds that
crept into our window last evening led us to think
of the thousands almost within sight, to whom
the night would be full of suffering. There are
more thrilling tragedies in New-York than the
theatre exhibits, and objects Of compassion de-
manding our strong syn,patnies besides the char
acters in the Mysteries Of Paris.
