~ The chief business in the Legislature yester-
a.y WAS the appointment of the Committees we
;, tho journal till tomorrow, account OF the length
&c the Governors Address. The Committees are con-
sttuted with majority of the dominant party and the
minority divided, nearly equally between the free son
mon and Democrats In the Senate the Free Soil men
howe three Chairmen of Committees and the Demo-
one In the House, neither of these parties has
received the appointment of single chairman soi
committee Such narrowness, we cannot believe to be
in accordance with the feelings of the presiding officer
Of that body but must have been the result of the par
to influences brought to bear upon him. 1t is to be en-
pected that the party having control of the house,
bop retain in its hands the control of all the con-
mttees having political influence, and that the chair
men of the most important should be of the same cha-
acter But, when it is considered, that the Free Soil
men and Democrats, in the aggregate, make very
considerable majority of the State, it would seem as it
common courtesy, as well good policy, would dictate
a more liberal course toward them. Personally, how
ever, we have no complaint to make The Speaker is
invested with the power to appoint, without restriction,
and he the sole Judge of the of exercising it,
in view of all the responsibilities resting upon him.

Sir, the agitations which alarm not igns

wealth for relief from in.chiefs past.
There is way, and way only, TO put them

direct the policy Of the Federal Government to cir
cumscribe its limits and favor its ultimate extn-
punishment. Let those who have this misfortune
entailed upon them, instead Of contriving how to
maint tain an equilibrium that never had existence,
consider carefully how at come tme-it may be
ten, or twenty, or even fifty years hence-by some
means, by all means of their own, and with our
aid, without sudden change or violent action-they
may bring about the emancipation of labor and its
restoration to its just dignity and power in the
State. Let them take hope TO themselves, give
hope TO the free States, awaken hope throug bout
the world. They will thus anticipate only what
must happen at some time, and what they them
selves must desire if il safely, and as soon
il can come without danger. Let them do only
this, and every cause of disagreement will cease
immediately and forever. We shall then not
merely endure each other, but we shall be recon :
ced together and shall realize once more the con
cord which results from mutual league, united
councils, and equal hopes and hazards in the most
sublime and benehccnt enterprise the earth has
witnessed The fingers of the Powers above would
tune the harmony of such peace.

remarks OF Messrs. FoorE and HoUsroN upon the

Congress.
In the Senate, yesterday, the Compromise
bill was again under consideration. Mr. BELL
resumed his remarks upon the bill, and had not
concluded when the Senate adjourned.
In the House Of Representatives., Mr.. GID-
DINGs caused to be read letter from Washing
ton, TO the Boston .1tlas, charging him with
purloining certain letters from the files of the
Post Office Department. After debate, the
House refused to regard the subject as a ques-
ton of privilege, but permitted him, by unani-
nous consent, to make statement, in which he
denied the charges in every particular. The
consideration Of the report of the select com
mittee on the conduct and relation of the Sec
rotary of War to the claim Of the representa-
tives Of George Galphin was resumed, and an
adjournment took place without taking the ques-
ton on the pending propositions.

From the Boston Journal.

we again express, in behalf of the suffering
manufacturing interests, the hope that Congress
will not adjourn without modifying the existing
tariff. If an entire revision cannot be effected,
there are some changes, which, being imperatively
demanded by public opinion, should at least be act
ed upon by Congress. The tariff of 1916, besides
exercising generally depressing influence upon
American manufactures, is unequal in its opera
tons, and in some instances discriminate in favor
OF the foreign manufacturer. A striking illustra-
ton of this fact is afforded by the articles of hemp
and cordage. The duty on hemp imported into the
United States is 80 per cent, while the article
manufactured into cordage in foreign countries is
admit at 20 per cent, and yarns at 20 per cent
which is in fact bounty of to 10 per cent grant
ed to the foreign manufacturer. The export charges
and duty in Russia about per cent. more ON
hemp than on cordage and yarns, equal to bounty
oil per cent. by that government in favor of bei.
own man ufacturers, la addition to which there is
dlfft renee in freight of at least per cent in favor
OF the cordage and yarns, being less bulky than
hemp, making difference Of from 10 to "a per
cent against the American, and in favor Of the Rus
sian man Il acturers.
We might mention other instances where equal
injustice is done to the American manufacturer,
but this will suffice to show the necessity of rev-
sion OF the tariff. We trust the friends Of American
industry in Congress will persevere in their efforts
to effect the salutary changes which are required,
and that they will succeed in putting upon record
the names of those who are opposed to change, in
order that the people may mark them, and deal
with them according to their deserts.

Northwestern Bank of Virginia. ! am glad to
learn that the apprehensions without cause.
Mr.. Sprgg, cashier Of the Merchants Bank, in this
city, thinks the bank referred to is in sound con.
dition, and gives a reason, that there are now
$4,000 for collection, belonging to the Virginia
bank above named, in his bank. The credit of the
bank is said to be worthy of full confidence
Baltimore is now completely filled with mosqu-
toes Such perfect deuge of these midnight assas-
sins has never been known in our city. Ii would

and all have marks of neutrality-suspicious., unrns-

The political campaign goes bravey on. Next
Monday will be the day Of election. In less time
than week. we will have either Wing or a Lo-

Frightening every hour. Let call upon the
Wings to be active; let them come up in their full
strength. They have the power to triumph and
will be highly culpable should the election go by

go into that office with better trained mind than
our accomplished and eloquent townsman. and no
man could discharge its duties with greater fdel-
~ than he. Mr.. Stuart will be missed from our
town, and when. in the metropolis he reverts to
his Staunon home, let him remember that warm
hearts are throbbing for his welfare, and that the
