Tar CRY PREss-The Union gives us "the
materials of which the Committees are
made" We find that they are made of all
sorts of things. Some Of them are partly
made of Wood. such as Bureh. Palmer. &c.
Speaker PESNISGToN is not the hard Case ne
has been represented to be. He got bis
committees up very promptly. He took
Kaapp Immediately on bis election, but know
ing Hoar' ard It was to accomplish the business
on hand, he aroused himself, put MS Hutton,
and prepared to Wade Virgil in. Having
Handed his strength and FosteT-ed his energies
Pryor to the election by AUery means in his
power. and wishing to DelIno longer the bust
ness of the House, with a Stout heart he
showed his Briggs mot without Leak over
the Bur-, and with more than the usual
promptness, had the whole thing Dunn. BY
the way, Speaking of the House Committee:
Why is the Committee on Commerce the
a5lest among them7 Because it has HOTeI'ead.
1t is supposed that Speaker PESSINGroN's OBJ
Jet in placing certain member from Ala
bama on one of the committees. was TO Curry
favor with the Democracy of that State Inc
people of Boston think the narrow strip OF
land connecting them with the main land Is
q long Neck, but member of the Committee
on Military Affairs is a LongneckeT. What Is
there about the Judiciary Committee calcula-
ted to lead one to suppose they are all drunk!
Why, Hickman. And now. what State have
the Committee on Claims the most Of? Moore
of Alabama The member of the Committee
on PoStoffices from Massachusetts, Is Black
Republican, and not Know Nothing dark
AHev a. some of the LOcOfOcos pretend TO
think. The Committee on Revolutionary
Claims are a QuarrelsOme set Of fellows at
any rate. they had DUEL among them the
very day they were appointed. Ii is not Gus
tomary 10 put females on any OF the commit
tees, but Speaker PENNINGTON has neverthe-
less placed Has OuTi and her son (ANDEHsON)
on the Committee on Land Claims. Scdnda-
Iousl The Committee on Public ExpendI-
lures will have no work TO do in figuring up
the expenditures, as the Speaker has furnish
ed them the IScraes. Whatever the Democracy
may say against the other Committees, the
most rabid OF the party must confess that
part of that OH Agriculture is Wright We
don't know that any member of the Commit
tee on Patents is either Negro or a Black
Republican, but one of them is unquestiona-
bly, very Ni-JLGok 1t is strange the Speaker
didn't make Mr.. Jfiies one of the Committee
on Mileage APTopos, what domestic imp!e-
ment is like a certain member of this Com
mittec? We should say the LOOMS. 1t is to
be hoped the Committee on Expenses in State
Department will be !Som Barr to its future
extravaganza. The Joint Committee on Ii
brary must be rather particular as To whom
they sit with in church, for it seems they have
Pugh to themselves.
The first thing in the Gdzeas is a compii-
ment to Col. Bu.Bo's Speech, +" delivered al
the Capitol one month ago yesterday. The
GazeTe favoIs us with three columns of the
speech. Ii says OF it:
"As document embracing numerous
beauties of composition, Interesting political
statistics and quotations, with soul stirring
eIOqueHce peryading almost its every line,
the entire speech would amply repay the
reader for peTusai. but our space II "a limit
ed a To tOt bid it's uubrUken reproduction.
IL is Suoa to be Issued, We learn, ia pamphlet
form
Where is JOHS HAIRY! The GGzote say:
"Capt. f. c. ScoTT. the notorious swindleI
and bigamist" has been sent to Jail in de
fault of 81 500 bail With such crimes hang
ing over him, it is not likely the Captain will
be suffered to go Scot free.
The Nerrs has another article on subjects
Political and RESIDENTIAL" IL says HENRY
A. WISE will undoubtedly BE- put in nominal
ton at Charleston by the deleg,t"s from
Virginia, and be supported by them until
they see he has 40 chance" Unless IN y
are as blind as bats, it won't take them more
than fiitern inmates tn see that. The Ne'rs
says the Memphis .4pPeul thinks all kinds
of mechanics will find ready and remunera-
tive pay there the present year. Thre is
certainly a fine field there already for the
undertaken and the sexton, and if Justice
were melted out il should be. the rope
maker might conrive to pick up few shil-
liugs around there occasionally.
