tain town on the Ohio river, and bawled out
" Is the captain aboard l''
The captain, who WAS standing among the
crowd, responded, " Yes, what do you want
with him."
"Oh, nothing particular, he's a distant re-
lation of mine, and I'd like to see him"
A relation Of yours ?' inquired he, some
what surprised.
Yes, slight relation. He's the father Of
my first child"
You'd better believe the captain sIoped, ,
while the crowd enjoyed the sport to their
hearts content.

three, the North two. On indian Affairs,
another OF the important committees, there

is all sectional, all South, and with the ex-
ception Of Mr.. Bel OF Tennessee, all Bu-

committee for the House! What a veil
OF sect ioualiSm he would have raised On

has majority. Now comes the judiciary
committee, one cf the great committees,
and what do we see! Not Republican 4 pom

Toucey and pugh, who are wesSe than the
others. There is neither Republican nor
a Fillmore man upon the committee. What
would have been said if Banks had done the
like! The POSt-ofcs committee has one
half South; the Chairman is South; there is
one doughface and two Republicans, and
this, too, on committee of The first impor-
tance to the North, for the North has to pay
its own postage and large sh0re of the
postage of the South; for proof of which
see tne reports of the post t-office de partmeV.

the District OF Columbia, on which there
are four Southern men, and dough ace, and
no Republican. The next is the committee
on Territories, on which there is but one
Republican, all the rest are Southern men
and doughfaces.
The Senate of the United States balloted
for and elected these committees. In every
point of view they are iliberal, and section
