RECAST.

" Aohlh0t Decs ~.
The Committees Of the House we're announc
ed This morning, asii appointed yesterday, wher
they were not given out The delay ha.
been caused by internal difficulties, which have
resulted, as will be seen, in very important chan
ges Neither Rhelt nor Beardsley has the head
Of the Committee Of Ways aud Means, but both
are len off that Commue and put on that Of For
eeIgl Afairs, which is very strong one. Mr..
Wilkins, who felt sure Of being Chairman Of this
Committee, and certainly had strong claims IA
the post, is put aside; Mr.. 9. J. Inhersol, as an
elder, i(nol a better soldier, having pushed bis
claims % that station and had them conceded -
So Mr.. !. has the Foreign Affairs aud Mr.. w.
the Judiciary. though The latter was once a Min
ister PlenlPoleoiiary, am glad Ingersoll, who
once made fierce and insiduous attack on the
Supreme Court Of the United States, is NOT at the
head Of the Judiciary, even al The cost Of having
him IN position whore he can do more mischief
Neither Rhetl nor Beardsley is chairman Of any
important Committed Mr.. Holmes Of Charles
ton 5. e. is Chairman of the Committee Of Com
merce. on which Messrs. Phoenix, Of our city,
Winthrop Of Boston. c. Nj. Reed Of Erie, Penn.
and d. P. King Of Massachusetts, are the wing

Carolina, d. H. Lewis of Alabama,J r. lnger-
soil Of Pennsylvania, DroomgoOls of Virginia,
Barnard Of New York, Weller of Ohio, Seymour

Motifs of New Hampshire, --three wings TO six
lnco-focos. | believe all the cO-fOcOs on this
Committee but Mr. Seymour of our State, are
aVowed anii-prOteClive men, and will agree in re-
porting bill TO upset The present tariff
The COMMITTEE on the Post Office is c0mpos>
ed Of Messrs. Hopkins of Virginia. Kennedy of
lndiana, Grinnell Of Massachusetts, Relic of Mo.
jerks Of Pennsylvania, Stiles of Georgia, Hardin
Of linois, Dana of New York, aud Reid Of North
Carolina, Wings. | hear This Committee
is unfavolable 10 Post Office Reform, ct any'rate
to any such extent as the earnest fiiends Of the
movement demand. Mr. Hopkins was the lsader
Of The Majority of The Committee last year, who
Overruled Mr.. Briggs, the Chairman, ADD brought
IN bill utterly inadequate TO the wants Of the
county--making hardly any reduction Of the
rates of postage. Butt trust ell the wing members
at least are in favor Of radical reform--and
hope they are not all. Aud, it the worst comes
to worst, have great faith in the Yeas aud Nays.
five have forty earnest friends Of the Reinrm in
the House, aud ten 10 The Senate, the triumph Of
The good cause is certain. There Can be no
danger il we can hut reach the Yeas and Nays.
Little has been done TO day, besides announc-
ing he death Of Senator Linn, and taking proper
order thereon. Mr. Benton is said to have spO-
ken we'll in the Senate; SO did Mr.. Bowlin in the
House.
The morning hour was devoted 10 another az
tempt Of Mr.. Barnard TO place on the Journal Of
The House the simple fact that The wing members
on The FIRST day ofths session, presented Pro-
test against the admission OF the Members from
four states elected in violation Of the law requiring
all members TO be chosen by Districts. The ma
joriIy have determined thai this taet shall not APP
pear on the journal! Because they by brute force
prevented Mr.. Barnard from reading his Protest,
they insist that its contents shall not STAND on the
record-tbus making Que outrage prelext for
another! Bnt il is every way important that the
record should bear witness that the admission Of
The Multiplying Members was protested against al
The out set, and il sDiH be made 10 appear, though
The majority may consume much time ia prevent
ing it. Messrs. Barnard, Ingersoll, Winthrop,
Clingman, Of North Carolina, and others have
made gallant eff0rls loF the Right yesterday and
o.day. was astonished to see Robert Dale OiC-
IN who is repuled liberal and candid man, toe
in favor Of The violent suppression
