50 The Test"


in our issue of Wednesday, that the particular shade
of baekness which may appertain to Mr. Penningtons
RepubEcanism will be known by Friday next" adding,
that if as predicted he places Mr. Sherman at the head
of the Committee of Ways and Means making him, ID
effect the leader of the House. cannot see how much
better Pennington will be than Sherman"
Well the test has been applied the COMMITTEES have
been appointed. We publish list of them, which we
ask our readers to admire If Sherman could have been
more proscrptive or if any one could have been more
proscHptve doubly dyed antiSouthern we do not
know how he would have gone about it. But one
Southern at the head of any committee worth nam
ing and the honor of the Craftsmanship of the important
Committee on Elections is conferred upon the usual re-
cipieut of Black Republican distinctions-Hon. John
A. GiImer, of North Carolina
Owing to various circumstances the IS Or 80 Demo
Gratis have had more legislative experience and better
posted than all the other members of the House. In the
Grst instance they are mostly from the South where
taton is not so much the rule at the North, and
have therefore had time to become acquainted with
the order of business and especially Of committee business
Secondly the Democratic members from the North are
with hardly exception old members and men of decided
business qualifications while the contrary great many
Of the Republicans" Peoples Party" Americans,
have been rather projected than elected into the House
Well drilled they are, but they stick close from knowing
no better Their consciousness of ignorance in para-
mentary tactics makes them more accurately subservi-
ent to the rule of experienced wrepules like old Thad
Stevens of Pa, Corwn Of Ohio, Or painful to add,
Forney Of Philadelphia. Oncommttees for the despatch
of the practical business of the country the Democracy
would be found more efficient than all other parties or
the existence of an important position of the House.
Without experience himself in the manufacture of
Newark champagne, and the abuse of the broad seal
of New jersey he despses that knowledge the want of
which did not prevent himself from presiding over body
whose rules he had never even seen in operation But
