SENATE Co,nrnissees.

The selection of standing com mittees in
the Senate, the list of which we publish in
another column, are, in liberality on the
part of the majority, in striking contrast
to the illiberal policy pursued in the last
Senate. Then the Democracy were in
minority, and the Republican majority
acted as if the Senators representing DEM
ocratic districts had no rights that the ma
jority were bound to respect. On many
committees they had scarce a single
member -on others they failed OF
having fair representation, and on none
did they have their fair proportion. In
the list as adopted in the Senate yesterday.
the Republican party has . fair representa-
ton on every committee-such a repre-
sentation as Parliamentary practice always
gives to minority-giving them as full a
representation as could be made without
giving to that party majority of the mem
bers, so as to enable them to control legis-
lation. a!d
We congratulate the Democratic Sena-
tors on the fair spirit exhibited, and trust
that the minority will receive it with a
proper spirit. F..s-

ExaCtlV So.

1t Is thought of sufficient Importance by
specials of Republican Journals at WASH
ington to telegraph, that by those who
have conversed on the subject there is q
general agreement, that Congress must,
without delay, do something with the FL
nances and revise the Tax bill. For this,
they say, there is an imperious demand
from all quarters. &8 ftE =
The Black and Tan Conventions in the
South are appealing to Congress for money
to defray the expenses attendant on their
proceedings. Neither by loans nor other
wise can they raise it in the South. Three
million OF people In that country are at the
point of starvation. As consequence of
this, there is want of prosperity through
out the North. In the East, shelves fairly
groan under the pile of fabrics that have
been manufactured In excess Of the de-
mand. Wholesale merchants in New York
do not find ready sale for either foreign
or domestic goods. Four years of gigantic
crushing War left ten of the Southern
States, wherein the manufacturers and pro-
ducers of the North found their most profit
able market, impoverished to the last de-
gree; and just as that people are made
prosperous just that rapidly will the North
regain healthy prosperity. HsSs
That Taxes must be reduced is becoming
a self-evident proposition. If they are not
reduced, 1t will be impossible for business
men to do anything like successful BUSH
ness. But SO long as a Congressional policy
is persisted in that makes the people OF ten
States a charge upon the Federal Govern
ment, instead of making them tributary to
its support, there can be no reasonable hope
entertained Of decrease in taxation. And
until the idea of establishing Negro SUI
premacy in the South Ia abandoned, it is
absurd to believe that the people OF those
States will be anything else than charge
upon the Federal Government. There
must be Freedmen's Bureaus to take charge
of the Negroes, who look upon Freedom as

the Pres1dency. a
All eyes are turned to the action of the
Democratic State Convention on the Pres
idential question to-day. Not only Demo-
Gratis in other States are looking hither-
ward with interest," but Republicans are
doing the same thing with solicitude. If
in Convention to-day the Representatives
of the Ohio Democracy shall emphasize the
evident wish of the party as declared
through the party press, by pronouncing
with unanimity in favor of Hon. GEORGE
Fl. PENDLEroN for President Of the United
States, that action will be taken up and
indorsed by the Democracy of other States
who have yet to hold their Conventions,
and will insure his nomination. The

firmness, of executive capacity, of learn

as Democrat. Under his administra-
tion and in purs lance of the policy he
has indicated for the relief OF the coun-
try, the country will again spring to its

and how the oppressed millions will rally
to that standard. They want leader,
and in the person Of this distinguished
son of Ohio they recognize him, and
they await therefore, the action

tude. An apprehension is sought to
be warmed into life, that, perchance, the
Convention will hesitate to proclaim for
him, and therein disappoint the Tax-pay-
ers and make glad the hearts of Bond
holders and Bankers who go scot free of
taxation, and yet enjoy all the privileges
and immunities and security that Govern
ment insures.

the condition of the Taxpayers, at least

unanimity and force that is not

to raise means to pay expenses. The FL

its inability to raise loan. Here is an

The PIatform of the Sth of Janu-
ary Convention.

1t seems to be conceded that the resolu-
tions to be adopted by the Democratic State
Convention will furnish the keynote for
the opening of the Presidential campaign,
therefore it is of vital importance that the
living issues now before the people should
be set forth in concise and terse language,
which will be read by everybody. A COM
mon mistake in framing the resolutions
political conventions arises in involving
them in lot of whereases," detailing the
reasons of the author, like stump speech
in $ the belly of the BILL" instead of stat
ing in plain terms, simple conclusions
which need not be left to inference. Our
success in the coming canvass turns on the
issues made being thoroughly understood
and discussed,by the people, whom the Rad
icals hope to humbug under the war cry of
General Grant, backed by an indiscriminate
denunciation of everybody as disloyal, who
does not believe in Negro Suffrage and
military despotism. EssE
The unmasking of the real designs of the
Radicals, by compelling their Legislature
last winter to submit Negro Suffrage to a
direct vote of the people, is conclusive
proof of the policy of an open and bold
fight. When Governor Cox declares in
his message, that the result of that election
only confirmed his heretofore expressed
convictions on that subject-a signal that
success is certain, if the contest is further
pushed to its logical conclusion, by making
the same question in the national canvass.
