There has necessarily been much embarrassment in
the business owing to the factious spirit which
the Morgan and Fenton fight has given birth to. 1t
Is impossible to ascertain with accuracy who the
chairmen OF the principal committees viii be- as the
closest secrecy is Observed but can give you, on
pretty fair authority the names OF some who Will

is known, Will have the Ways and Means. II Is un-

warren, eminent lawyer, Is spoken OF for the
Judiciary; Winfield s. Cameron, OF Chautauqua, for
Commerce and Navigation. II Is possible however,
