The senate COMMITTEES.


Vice President Foster announced on
Wednesday last the standing committees
of the Senate, list of which We publish
in another place. Those who take the
trouble to compare the Standing commit
tees of this with those of the Thirty-eighth
Congress will discover that there is very
little difference between them in the i'm
portant places. Mr. Trumbull retains his
old place at the head of the Judiciary
Committee, and Mr.. Fessenden resumes
mis- at the head of the Finance Committee.
Mr.. Sumner, as Chairman of the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, is still the right
man in the right place. Through the
hands of these three committees passes
nine-tenths of the important legislation of
Congress. Mr.. Wilson is still at the head
of the Committee on Military Affairs, but
he will find his duties far less Onerous
than at the last session. The Committee
on Commerce is still headed by Senator
Chandler, and is strongly protective in its
makeup. Mr.. Sherman still heads the
Committee on Agriculture and Mr.. Wade
that on Territories. The other leading
committees remain substantially as of old.
The changes in chairmanships are COM
paratively unimportant. Grimes of Iowa
supplies the place left vacant by John P
Hale and in turn his old place as Chair
man of the Committee on the District of
Columbia is filed by Morrill, of Maine.
Mr.. Dixon of Connecticut takes the chair
manship of the Postofiice Committee, left
vacant by the death of Mr.. Collarner, and
Mr. Pomeroy, of Kansas, that of the Pub
lie Lands Committee, formerly held by
Secretary Harlan. These are the only
changes OF noue. The committees are, as
whole wisely constituted, and business
will be rapidly transacted under their
auspices.
