The President of tho Senate has reorganized
the Committees, and we give you the changes Of
the Chalrnen on Foreign Relations. On Foreign
Relations, Mr.. Allen in the place of Archer, Cass
second on the Comm:tlee.) Now, ii anything
could be more annoying to Archer than this su.
persedeas, we cant know what it is. He has
always affected to hold Allen in the utmost contemp,
as raniing radical, and now to be superseded by
him on the important committee of Foreign
Relations is too bad. Doubtless lesson Of self.

We see by the Washington journals, that in the
arrangement of Committees in the Senate, tha
our Senators have been assigned to positions which
will better enable them to look to the interest of
their State. Col. Sewer is Chairman of the Com.
mittee on Indian Affairs, in which Committee he
has often before been, and the duties of which he
thoroughly understands. He is also in tho Com
mittees on Commerce, and the District of Colum.
bia. Col. Ashley is Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee, and in the Committees on Public lands,
and Pensions.
1t is with pride and great qualification that we
behold the talents OF our Senators thus ustrous,
and thus appreciated by the Senate, body so dis
tinguished for its wisdom, acumen and dignity !;
and that appreciation is sufficient answer to the

6TThe report published two weeks or so ago,
that Col. Holland Coffee was murdered, is incor.
rect. Tho circumstances which begot this repor,
are these: A r.Underwood and son were found
murdered, about the time the report stated Coffee
waskilled, near the residence ofthe latter. These
persons, il is supposed, were murdered by band
Of Shawnee hunters. Though these Indians are
generally accredited as very frlondy 10 the whites
and peaceful, yet it seems that this murder was
committed by them. A band was known to be in
CofFee's neighborhood. and from the circumslan.
ces that IS were found in the elder Underwood's
pocket. and the carcass ofa beef near, is thought
that tho unfortunate men came upon the Shawnees
while they were killing Underwood's cattle, which
engendered quarrel that resulted in the death of
the two Underwoods. Our informant says that
the murder was a very barbarous one; that the
murderers quartered the victims and hung their
limbs upon the trees about.
