HConscious Of the groundIessness


of its charge, that the South monopo-
Uses an undue share Of public offices,
the Gazette, instead Of answering our
article of the 2lst fairly, attempts to
sustain its accusation by publishing
the names Of Southern members of
Committees only, and and emitting the
names Of leading committee men from
the North. AS specimen Of its no
tons Of honorable disputation, we men,
ton the fact, that, in giving the names
of the committee on ways and means
it places j. Clancy Jones, the Chair
man, at the tail Of the Commute, and
cndeavors to create. the impression that
Phelps Of Mo. is its head. Possibly the
Gazette did not know better.
Without going through the list Of
Committees, suffice it to say that tho
North has its full share Of important
places. j. CLANCY Jones OF l'cnnsylva-
mia is chairman Of the committee Of the
ways and means, and leader Of the
ii ,use; John Cochran Of Now York is
chairman OF tho committc on Com
merce-always post Of influence and
responsibility; Dan Sicklcs Of N. Y.
has leading position on the commit
tee on Foreign affairs Harris Of Hi
nois is chairman Of the committee on
elections John Kelly Of N. Y. has
conspicuous place on the committee on
ways and means. Indeed, considering
the fact that most of our Northern
members are raw and for the first
time IN Congress, it strikes us that they
have been assigned quite as arduous
positions rs they will be capable Of
filling.
In the Senate, the most important
committees, at present, are the com
mittce on Territories Of which Doug
las is the head, and the committee on
the Pacific Railroad, on which Gwin
of California, Douglas Of H., Bright of
Indiana, Seward of N. Y, and Footc
of Vt. are leaders. SO far as our own
State is concerned, We have all We can
ask. Gen. Jones is chairman Of the
committee on Pensions, Harlan is on
the committc on public lands, Sam
Curtiss is on the committee on military
affairs, and Tim Davis is on the com
mittce or Post Offices and Post roads.
What more had Iowa 1ght to cxpectl
The Gazette may gricve that Mattcson
aud Gilbert and Edwards and other
leaders of the Republican party have
not fields for the exercise Of their
statesman-likc powers, but we do not
believe that the country will have any
reason to regret that speaker Orr has
not given them an opportunity to rob
the treasury. But even though every
accusation our neighbor makes we're
correct, we ask what would that have
to do with Democratic principles
Suppose that every committee contain
ed majority of Southern men, would
that be any reason for voting the Black
Republican ticket would it be a rca-
son for dissolving the Union!

WASHINGTON, February 6.

HcusE MIR. Seward, of Georgia, advocat-
ed the passage of the submarine telegraph bill.
Mr. Mace regarded this matter Of much inn
portance.
Pending the subject. the House went into a
Committee of the Whole, the tariff bin being
nominally under consideration
Mr.. Clingman, in the course of his speech on
the Central American and Cuban treaty. said
il stood on a treacherous foundation, and he
hoped that il would never receive the sanction
of this Government. He thought we had
right to expect bold policy on this subject
from the incoming administration, and not
trucking course of fear towards Great Brit
ain, with whom there was no danger of war.
MIR. Stanton said, in regard to The tariff bill,
there was no question as to the necessity for
reduction of the revenues, but this was essen
tally manufac turers' bill, to the detriment
of the agricultural classes.
MIR. Letcher appealed to gentlemen who de-
sired to save the country from commercial
revolution, compared with which, that Of 1886
would De unimportant, to go with him in adopt
ing some measure to reduce the revenue and
relieve every man from business unnecessarily
put upon HIM, in order 10 effect this.
The Senate's resolution pending, for count
ing votes for President and Vice President
next Wednesday, was adopted Mr.. 10 les. Of
Tenn, and Mr.. Howard were appointed as tel
lers on the part of the House.

Eye of Tuesday says that Railroads were dam.
aged and the telegraph wires down. No Chi
cago papers later than Friday. The streams
in every direction rose to such an extent in
this part of the State as to prevent crossing for
time, and delaying the Iaails. The mail
eastward bound from this place was brought
